Patrick walked into the potions room, afraid he was running late. Somehow he had gotten caught up in a book down in the common room. He hated being late. Skirting through the door he looked around. Potions sure was full this time. He wasn't sure how well he was going to like this full classroom. He hadn't done bad last term, but it was a new term and a new professor.

He looked around the room spotting a seat toward the back, both seats were empty which meant that he was going to have to figure it out on his own he assumed. Thankfully he had remembered to have his copper cauldron today. That could have been a lot worse. He was hoping that someone would at least sit beside him so he would have a friend or something.

"Hi Professor." He said quietly hoping to not draw too much attention to himself as he sat down awaiting the lessons start. He was watching everyone in the classroom trying to figure out the dynamic of the term.
