Well that had been a success! "
Yes, it went very well. I was proud of them, especially the younger students." A few of them had managed to open their boxes, even! But she chuckled at the man's thanks. "
If you remember, I was the one that practically ordered you to my office when you first arrived so we could discuss this." Was that really a year and a half ago? Time flew. "
Sorry about that, by the way. I was just excited about the opportunity." She couldn't remember where she'd heard he was into this stuff, but she knew their previous DADA professor hadn't been as much.

Tiara nodded as Esme exited the room. "
You are most welcome, dear. Now go grab some lunch, you earned it!" she smiled.

So I guess to open it I have to use non-verbal magic." Now she was back on track. "And it's going to be short lived but very powerful."
Ah, good reasoning from the Ravenclaw. "
Yes, good thoughts Miss Valentine," she encouraged.

Both? Neither? He looked between them expectantly. It was interesting, even if it wasn't straightforward... it was something that would give his brain some probably needed training, to think outside the cursed box.
"
Of course, Mister Song!" she said. Well, maybe she shouldn't really speak for Roderik, but she was sure he would say the same. "
We will do more of this in arithmancy and I suspect Professor Hirsch might do more in his lessons as well. But obviously you are most welcome at any of my office hours!" She loved when students' intellectual curiosity led them to discover more outside of class time.

Who knows.
"
Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it!" she said sincerely. "
As for helping out.." Hmm. Was there anything? "
I cannot think of anything off the top of my head, but I truly appreciate the offer, Mister Salander." It didn't come from students very often.

She glanced one last time at her unopened box, wondering if she would get the chance to try again sometime this term. Then she turned and skipped merrily out of the classroom.
Kitty sounded shocked that a lesson could be fun. Tiara understood the feeling; she had been a student herself, after all! That was usually her biggest struggle: how to make arithmancy lessons enjoyable. "
I am so happy you enjoyed yourself, Miss Valentine. Now off you go to get some lunch!" She'd definitely earned it today.
