"Tamzin," Rachel replied just as cordially, sparing the Hufflepuff a second-long glance before returning to the fascinating pastime of staring at the wood patterns on the table. It's no joke - those things are REALLY intricate.

Looking up as the sixth year heard footsteps, Rachel saw that students were beginning to arrive. Sighing once again, she stood up and fidgeted with the hem of her shirt as she waited for them to come closer. Grinning with relief as she saw that the first person was Celandine, she waved at the girl before looking past her at the rest of the short line.

Hmm... A huffie girl whom the sixth year didn't know but apparently Tamzin did as she reacted weirdly at the sight of her. Rachel's eyebrows rose slightly and she decided that she liked this girl - whoever she was. "Why, hello to you too, Dominic," she nodded towards the really rude Head Boy who hadn't greeted her properly. Since when was Dominic Denton rude?

Odd.


Aaaaand that was it. For now, she hoped, because they couldn't run a study session with - she counted in her head quickly - only five people. That just wouldn't do. "Hey guys - we're going to wait for a bit before starting to allow other students to arrive," she adressed the small group present, a little irked that there were more Hufflepuffs than Ravenclaws - what happened to all her studious Eagles?
