It took all of her will power not to jump in it because in the distance, she could see the figure of an older man, definitely not a student, walk on the path.

Recognising him as the Care of Magical Creatures Professor, Bec took a bit of another gummy worm and watched him get closer. Thinking he would walk further, the Gryffindor popped in three more of the candies in her mouth when the man stopped and she looked up at him. “Nope” she said with a mouthful. She swallowed the candy , apologized and then rummaged in her bag. Taking out a gummy worm , she held it up. “Just eating , want one Professor Drapes?" she asked, not realizing she had mispronounced his last name.

He raised his brows, watching her curiously. It was always the Gryffindors that struck him the most interesting. He had been one himself back in the day, but still... Never ceased to amaze him. The variations were endless, but the similarities... There were more of those.

"I stay away from sugar," he shook his head. "It's poison for your teeth." A simple 'no' probably would've sufficed, but eh. This way she wouldn't try to bribe him with candy later on either. You never know with these students. Some try to go to extraordinary lengths, none of which worked on him by the way. And she ought to know now, before she ate too much. "Not the roses then?" He wondered out loud. Of course 'stopping to smell the roses' had only been an expression, but now he was curious. First years always took things so literally. "So what exactly is it that you're doing here?" Surely she couldn't just be out to enjoy the day.

Oh and one more important detail here, "Professor Draper," he corrected FIRMLY after a few seconds. Whoever started this awful nickname had to put an end to it. Because it was infuriating. And if it was meant to get on his nerves, it was working. And it was easy to tell he was bothered. So she better remember it. "Remind me of your name?" That was the PROPER thing to do when one couldn't remember someone's name, by the way.
