The more Professor's that she started to get eyes on, the less hopeful Vera was feeling about her chances of getting into the Forbidden Forest. It didn't seem like DeVries had any intention of taking them that way, and while this would have been a PRIME time to sneak away and go on her own adventure, the Professor to teacher ratio was not appearing to be in her favor. The final joining of Professor Carton sealed the deal for her, especially when she heard the herbology Professor whisper something about watching out for students sneaking off. That felt targeted, okay!! But maybe it was because looking around this group, she figured she was probably the most likely.

Well... sigh. Was it too late to sneak back away and head to her dorm? Seemed like a yes on that so. Supposed she'd have to make the most of it.

Smiling at the Professors and offering a polite greeting, figuring at the very least she could make herself appear the picture of innocence (as if), her attention then turned to all the other students as well who got finger waves from her. Charlie and Keighley together of course made sense, Aurora didn't seem one to miss out on an event and then Desiree as well. This was a very Hufflepuff heavy event wasn't it? Maybe that was because their Head of House was involved?

"Hi Desiree, Hi Charlie!" Both of them got special verbal greetings, as she didn't want to be rude after they had also done so. And had she been able to read Charlie's thoughts, she would have pointed out that was part of her charm - she tended to grow on people. Kind of like a fungus.

Soooo... the point of the evening was for fluxweed, was it? "Isn't Fluxweed in Felix Felicis? Are you making liquid luck, Professor Hernandez?" And were there any extra credits assignments she could struggle through to get a small dose of it? Moving her feet to follow along after the others, she opted to not assist with baskets - not quite trusting her casting to actually be helpful and not slow her down.
