This was weird, thought Violet. Sure, she had had an epiphany that grownups, even professors, were actually really just people, too, but still....they were teachers. So, she'd had her anxieties put to rest and given a good attempt at being more outgoing and interacting with people better, but enough was enough. She was ready to escape back to her Common Room and record her thoughts in her journal.

"Er, thanks again Professor. Well, I guess I'd better be going," she said, and made a break for the door. She was out of it and down the corridor before the Professor had a chance to say anything else.
