Why did it strangely feel as if she'd missed several classes in between this class and the last Potions class? Sierra usually had quite a few classes scheduled in between Potions, but for some reason, she didn't remember attending any of them.

Strange...

...but at least this classroom, and the professor, were both very familiar. "Hello," Sierra said, trying to smile despite how odd it felt to address this woman so formally. She took the seat front and center, right where Lafay usually stood. Normally Sierra wouldn't be so close to any of the professors. She liked to sit in the middle, where it was not too close but not so far that she looked like a slacker. For Lafay, though, she'd make an exception.

She cracked open her Potions textbook and decided to read a little while she waited for the class to start.
