Simon then quickly stopped hugging her and sat down in her office before speaking again. "Professor I was wondering if you had any books I could lend on Herbology or if you would recommend any."
"Oh well I'm glad you enjoyed it", she replied smiling... though that smile quickly disappeared as the student hugged her... AGAIN?!
Seren was beginning to think that perhaps the boy was too comfrotable around her. Surely he wasn't developing a crush? Was he? She hoped not.
She didn't hug him back- of course, she was a Professor, and Professors (at least the good ones) did not hug their students back... not in this sort of situation anyway... nor any other situation Seren could think of at that time.
Perhaps she should say something... but how to put it gently?
"Um.. Master De Simpson... you do realise it is not appropriate to hug your Professor's... don't you?"
Seren wandered over to her side of the desk, pleased to put that distance between them, she had never loved her mahogany desk more than she did right in that moment. Good desk it was.
Books?... Simon wanted to discuss books? On herbology?!
Oh this was brilliant news!
Forgetting what had just happened Seren smiled brightly.
"Well you've come to the right place", she mused.
Getting up she moved over to her extensive bookshelf and ran her fingers down the spines of a number of volumes.. some rather larger than others.
"I'm not sure what the library collection is like these days... though I'm sure Madam Donovan could sort you out with a few books if you're keen."
But who needed the library books when they could borrow hers?!.. she did have a pretty decent collection after all.
After a breif minute of scanning her shelves Seren stopped at a particularly large volume, bound in red leather.
"Flesh-eating trees of the World might interest you..." she said passing the book over her shoulder to the boy whilst continuing to search her shelves for another which he may find inspiring.
