If Alessandro was going to effectively emulate his older cousins a lot of that work would happen here in this classroom.

Which was why he was near devastated when he toddled in the room and it was snowing and professor-less. He almost turned back to go look for a notice board to see if class had been moved, but then he had a terrible thought that he might miss class and humiliate himself if he left. So he knuckled down on the class and waited.

And waited.

And waited.
Throughout the previous six years, Callum Kettleburn had walked into a lot of questionable settings inside Hogwarts classrooms, and today was no different. There was snow - unimpressive - and some dummies, but Callum only had eyes for his little cousin, who looked like he was giving this class second thoughts for some reason.

Callum, himself, had left one of his very first Defense Against the Dark Arts classes early when he was a first year - and he still hadn't regretted it one bit - but it was probably in Alessandro's best interest to at least give the class the chance to start. If he still wanted to leave, Callum would probably walk out with him, truth be told, and he could work with his cousin one-on-one. Like tutoring. No big deal.

"Hey," Callum greeted, coming to a halt beside his cousin and giving his hair a fond ruffle. "You good?" He seemed a little squirmy, which was to be expected, really, considering their current setting under the circumstances.

Hirsch just had to go and make a big spectacle of things, didn't he?
