Maeve couldn't help but let out a little giggle at Kitty's scolding and tried to school her features into something more serious. It was really rather funny for the boy to have gotten so far and to have not been informed of the more intricate parts of magic - and she hoped that the first year when looking back would see the bright side of it all as well.

The fact that Professor Griffith seemed to have mistakenly confused the boy was also amusing - it was certainly a crack in the rather mysterious professor that she knew relatively nothing about. He taught Alchemy which was only available to NEWT students but as she didn't take Alchemy and hadn't yet decided if it was an interesting enough subject for her to think about taking next year at which point she'd probably have to look at her Potions marks that was pretty much the sum total of what she really knew about him.

She tried to maintain her expression as Professor Brierly attempted to de-escalate the situation. As opposed to Professor Griffth she actually was taught by the Care of Magical Creatures Professor.

She stood and went to retrieve her housemate.

"Come back to the table Kitty, Professor Brierly will look after... " She trailed off trying to remember if a name had ever been mentioned. It hadn't. "Him." She said, settling on the vague pronoun.

"We will see him after sorting. With any luck you'll be in Hufflepuff - Home of the loyal and hardworking!" She added tugging on Kitty's sleeve to get her to follow the Professors' implied direction.
