Guilt and Accusation
The prophecy seemed like it caught the professor's attention. The part with the deal seemed to mean something to him. But then he denied it. And mentioned hags. And cut himself off, telling her that it was common knowledge.
Not that it would have meant much to Opeila, at that point she had no idea what hags were. It wouldn't have meant a lot, if Professor Browne didn't act like he was hiding something. How very hypocritical. He asked Opeila to keep her eyes open for him, tell him if she found things out but kept to himself what he knew? And there she had thought that the Professor shared her belief that the students and teachers had to work together. That meant a two way share of information. Not to scare the students, but the information the teachers had could possibly help students to make important connections that they could tell the teachers about. If there was one thing that Opeila was almost sure about, it was that the students were mainly targeted at the moment. Of course, they were easier targets than the Professors. For now, Opeila was growing tired about calling the professor out for his lies.
The Professor only wanted her safe. He asked her for her word that she would go to him for help if she got into trouble. His smile was gone. His face looked weird without his smile, he could as well be missing an eye and it would be almost as obvious.
She nodded.
Professor Browne got back to his feet and asked her for her word once more. Opeila looked up to the man, that she had never talked to before, who had already shown some sort of hypocrisy, hut who still somehow made her feel safer. Something made her feel like breaking a promise that was given to him would not be taken lightly at all.
"You have my word. Thank you Professor."
With that, Opeila turned to the Great Hall. Suddenly she felt hungry again.

Opeila leaves the thread unless stopped.
