Seti cocked her head to the side, trying to place the student, although she wasn't having much luck. Well... Romilda... had said she was a Gryffindor and hadn't been in her classes, so that wasn't too surprising. But even so, after Dumbledore's death, there were so few students at the school that it was somewhat surprising to not know her at all.

"I'm sorry to say that you aren't ringing any bells for me. But then... well, there were a lot of students through out the years... and a lot has happened since... ah... that day," Seti trailed off.

Seti noticed the little boy hanging onto the young woman's hand. "Is that your little boy?" she asked. "What's your name, my dear?"

Liam usually didn't mind talking to new people, but this woman talking to Mummy was a little scary. Tall and scary. He wrinkled his nose at the smell coming from her rooms. It tickled his nose and he wanted to pick at it, but he knew Mummy would get angry. She always did when she caught him with his fingers up his nose. He couldn't see the problem. They fit perfectly ( ... )

Seti looked at the adorable little boy hiding behind his mother and smiled.

"Yes, dear, I'm here in 1B, and Hestia Jones lives in 1A. I'm not sure about the other apartments. In all honestly, I haven't had too much of an opportunity to chat with then neighbors. I am hoping to have people over at some point in the future to get reaquainted with everyone. You would be welcome to come along, too. I was just heading out, but I would love it if you stopped by for tea sometime. Just knock, and if I'm here... well... you would be welcome."

The young woman seemed nervous to be talking to her, and Seti had a feeling that Liam was picking up on it. She hoped that Romilda would relax around her eventually, as otherwise it could make living in the building... interesting.

"Well, dear, I won't keep you," Seti said.

Romilda tried to hide her relief. She really didn't want to stay and talk all day long. Professor Vector had always given such an air of authority -- she had heard that from her friends who had studied Arithmancy. It was hard to feel comfortable around that.

She had no idea who Hestia Jones was either, but no doubt she would soon find out. The invitation was a surprise, but she smiled. Perhaps she was just anxious because she really hadn't met too many people around town.

"Yes professor, I think I would like to stop around for tea sometime... Thanks." And just like that, she was dismissed. No different to being in class, she guessed.

Sometimes she honestly still felt like a schoolgirl.

She gave a smile, and grabbed Liam's hand as they wandered out the door, and down the street. Within seconds, Liam had broken away, and was running after something only a four year old boy could see.
