Alexa Cambridge was early, but make no mistake, it was NOT because she was eager to learn the many 'wonders' of Arithmancy. Far from it. The young Gryffindor was naturally attracted to anything new and this Professor here was new, yeah? She wanted to know what he was like, learn his mannerism and see if he was just as much a headache as Professor Hadley had been with the subject. Don't get her wrong she was a wonderful teacher, Lex just wasn't a fan of numbers.

She turned sharply into the classroom. "Good Day Professor--hey are we painting the class today?? Are those blue cans of paint? If not can it not be yellow for just in case reasons? I learned how to change colours on stuff so it wouldn't really be a problem."

Lex stepped further in the room, gave the man a broad smile before she continued her inspecting.

"Is it more like finger painting. That didn't go so well last time. There was a man eating plant and everything." Or maybe he was after Professor Lafay's job...because we're totally eyeing the cauldrons too.

Mixing paint...? No numbers or mentions of textbooks. She approved.
