 be curious, not judgmental
It wasn't that Sophie hadn't liked Lafay. It was just... the woman had made her skin crawl. And she wasn't exactly happy that the woman was gone... she was just excited for this new guy. He didn't LOOK too scary at the feast, but he had been far away and hadn't been at the front of a classroom. So she tried not to take that first impression too much to heart.
Upon entering the Potions classroom, however, Sophie actually sighed. A big ol' sigh of relief. She even smiled. The walls were a happy shade of blue and things looked less rickety - there were even new chairs! Sophie liked the new professor already and he hadn't even said anything to them yet - speaking too soon? Perhaps. But the second year couldn't wipe the grin off her face despite the professor's neutral expression as she took a seat and set her cauldron full of supplies on the tabletop.
"G'day, professor," she chimed, bowing her head slightly in greeting as she unpacked her class materials - then her eyes bugged and she wiggled her bottom as she realized the seat had just morphed to fit her figure perfectly.
COOL.
