 Xerxes Cadwallader- Hufflepuff
Xerxes emerged from the trap door, having just climbed up the ladder. He was slightly out of breath and took a moment at the top to catch his breath and his composure. Once he had regained his senses, he walked over to one of the little tables; each with two or three little chair around it. He chose one of the tables right near the front.
After taking his seat at the table, Xerxes took out his Divination textbooks, wand, ink, parchment, and a quill. He laid out all his supplies, taking great care not to bump or knock over the multi-colored candles or the little divided compartment in the center.
While he was tempted by natural curiosity to play with the objects on the table, he already learned in the short time he had attended Hogwarts that it was best not to preemptively touch magical objects without instruction or directions. Therefore, he contented himself with looking at them and thinking about what they could be used for. Candles were often used in Summoning Rituals, but Divination didn't seem like the likely time or place to be doing such things. Maybe they would be dripping candle wax onto something to help gaze into the Great Unknown.
Xerxes then turned toward his Professor, who was standing in front of the great hearth at the front of the classroom and said, "Good Morning, Professor. I hope you having a wonderful day thus far."
