Yuri had taken a seat near Millie with the express purpose of quizzing her. 'Millie!' he stage whispered, trying to make his actions look like part of the class, and avoid the professor's attention.

'Is it true then?' he asked, his eyes saucers in wonder, 'Did you really find a secret passage way?' he pressed, the rumors had flown around the junior school, a terribly kept secret that the quidditch kids from his own year had passed amongst them. 'Go on, you can tell me!' he promised earnestly. He was still following the instructions on the board, albeit mechanically. He was good at potions once he worked out what all of the words said, the professor's flowery handwriting was especially difficult to read, and he still struggled a bit with some of his reading.
