At least he hadn't had to do any grading yet. That always seemed to have to wait till last minute until he got his things caught up again.

He was actually having a rather productive day today though, all things considered, and he had even managed to check out a few books from the library that he thought could provide inspiration for future lessons. While he looked through one of the books, a certain passage reminded him of Artemesia and he thought of checking in on her. Ansley always had a soft spot for the first portrait he had painted and he was happy to have found a more permanent place for her. But she hadn't been in her frame the last time he was in the gallery before classes began.

Carrying his stack of books, he decided to stop into the gallery before heading to his office. And he saw that he was not alone. "Hadleigh," he smiled giving her an acknowledging nod as he stepped further into the room and came up behind her. "Was there anything in here I could help you with or did you just come in to look around?" He did set up the place for students and staff to explore artifacts on their own, but if she had any questions he'd be happy to answer them. Otherwise, he was just making conversation.

It was sad to say that in all honesty she had no clue who a few of the portraits were still. In her defense though things got very busy once lessons began and there wasn't always time to meet every single being in the entire castle...however she might have tried. Especially these past few years when things got tougher, lessons and homework got longer and grades became harder to maintain.

Stepping to the left and eying one of the portraits Hadleigh jumped slightly when someone spoke to her. At first she hadn't been sure if it had been a portrait or someone else but a small turn of her head to look where the voice had come from gave her the answer. "Hello Professor," she greeted warmly with a light smile. "Oh no, I don't think so. Not yet anyhow I'm just looking around." Only looking. Not disturbing anything!

She was reminded that she had wanted to ask the man something. Turning around to face the professor and tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear as she looked up at him. "Professor, I was wondering if you still had time to continued our portrait painting lessons this term?" She had been practicing all summer long every chance she got!
