 Mod Babysitter | be curious, not judgmental
Oh, good. The others hadn't left her alone for too long. Sophie offered a half-hearted, but encouraging smile to the first year Hufflepuff boy, then to big ol' Alec. But then the professor was addressing her, and she stood up even straighter, her eyebrows raised at attention.
She hesitated before speaking, deciding whether or not to give a spiel or just as much as she was asked for. "Sophie Brown, ma'am, first year Ravenclaw." Then she looked expectantly at the Hufflepuff boy, urging him to go next quickly so the scary woman would stop looking at her. Ella's presence helped ease the tension of the situation, though. If Sophie was sure she wouldn't get scolded for talking to someone else, she would've greeted the Hufflepuff Captain - but she thought better of it and just stood there, smiling a bit nervously, wishing she had read up on her Transfiguration textbook some more before attending class today.
This woman was nothing like Fuller. Such a strange smorgasbord of professors at this school.
