Gendry started when the professor greeted him. He looked over at the lab coats and shuffled over. He thought about what the professor had said, you keep it until you graduate. Did that mean sphe should choose one that fit him now or one that would fit him as a seventh year. He wasn't sure. It seemed like such a huge choice. This lab coat would follow him all his years at Hogwarts. It was not a choice to be taken lightly. He stood there immobile...not quite sure what to do.
He looked back to the professor, wondering what his choice should be. He didn't want to make a poor choice.
