Stepping next to him, she smiled at the children, who were waving and grinning, she nodded in agreement. "Baxter. Professor Baxter." He'd remember her name, she was confident of that. "And no. They are not my children. I found these portraits at an antique shop in Berlin and they simply caught my eye." She wasn't the only one it seemed.
“I know” he said, waving his hand as she told him that she had not meant to startle him.
“I get startled very easily so it’s pretty normal for me” he said casually , like he was talking about the weather. It was true though, he got scared of almost everything , especially after the Acromantula incident a couple of months ago.
As the Professor stepped next to him to look at the portraits as well, he saw the children waving at them and he did a secret little wave back. Didn’t want the woman to know he was waving at a picture eh?
“They’re not?” he looked genuinely surprised to hear that.
“I thought they were” he said, looking back at the portraits.
“So you have no children yourself, Professor Baxter?” he had forgotten something….. oh! He hadn’t introduced himself!
“I’m Yoongi by the way, Yoongi Hyland. I was a charms specialty student before I went to Hogwarts” he grinned broadly because he needed to add that information.
