Tessa smiled. " Thank you professor."

So it wasn't as hard as she thought.

Xander stumbled into the classroom, utterly lost. He didn't want to interrupt, especially because it was just the professor and Tessa. He had hoped to slip in undetected but the classroom was DEFINITELY not set up for that.

"Sorry I'm late, Professor." He hung his head. He may have thought himself a cocky, untouchable git before school, but the little bit of experiences in his classes had taught him how dire it was missing part of a class. And on top of it all, he knew he was quite late.

"You may leave Miss. Grey. The only homework I give to you is to practice more. See you next class." Gaspard patted Miss. Grey shoulder and let her leave.

He turned to his Slytherin student, "Mr. Clarke, I'm happy you finally decided to join me! You're extremely late, class is over. I will be taking ten points away from Slytherin. If you may like I can teach Occlumency, you did show up, even though you were late, or do you prefer to wait till next class? Either way you have to bring me a 5,000 word essay about blocking one's emotions."

Tessa then carefully walked back over and grabbed her bag. She then slowly started to walk towards the door to leave.
