Between the Inquisitorial Squad lurking in the shadows to observe class sessions and Rosier requiring strict changes to the curriculum, Shreya didn't feel like any potion was safe to teach anymore. And her top priority was to avoid putting the children in any danger. If any of her lessons inadvertently came across as pro-Muggle, Merlin knew what could happen.

With a sigh, she leaned her head against the bookshelf, wondering what she would do. But her train of thought was interrupted by a knock at the door. A student! At least the children were always able to put a smile on her face, even during this dreary time. She opened the door with a smile.

"Ah, Ms. Hemlock! Come in, come in!" Shreya poked her head into the corridor to make sure the first year wasn't being followed by any squad members before gesturing to one of the chairs. "Make yourself comfortable. Can I pour you a cup of tea? Or perhaps you enjoy coffee?" She circled around to her beverage bar, today's set of golden robes billowing behind her. The students had been through so much lately. The least she could do was make them feel a little more comfortable by offering them a cozy drink. Shreya felt particularly worried for the younger children. Would this be the only Hogwarts they'd know? The thought distressed her, though she put on a convincing smile for Cornelia. She couldn't let the students know she was afraid.
Unlike the professor, Cornelia didn't think to make sure that she wasn't being following by anyone. Then again, did she really have anything to worry about? In comparison to others, the first year figured she was safe and had nothing to fear. She was a Slytherin. She was a pure-blood. She was indifferent to everything that was going on. But, most importantly, she was there, on her own, to talk about a very specific potion.

A smile appeared on her face as Professor Varma welcomed her into the office. Her short legs moved toward one of the chairs and she plopped right down in one. There was no need to tell her twice to make herself comfortable. She already had done so.

"Tea would be lovely, professor," the girl responded with a bat of her eyes. The second option that was offered was a no. She was only eleven and the one time she sipped coffee it tasted nasty to her. Beverage aside, Cornelia decided it best to get straight to the point and state why she was here. "I have some questions I wanted to ask you about a potion."
