"Hi Professor..." *walks into the office nervously, a sheepish grin on her face*
"Um... so... you know that essay we were supposed to hand in like... two days ago...? I may or may not have forgotten to do it and d'you think it would be alright if I could get an extension? Besides the um... two days extra that I already had..."
Tom sighed, one eyebrow raised as the girl came into his office. "Another extension?" he asked, tilting his head. "Sit." He nodded to the chair in front of his desk and waited a moment for her to comply.
"Miss Black, may I ask what is taking up so much of the time and mental energy that should be being spent on my essay? Practicing for quidditch tryouts? Other classes? Perhaps a new romantic partner?" He paused, smirking. "Whatever it is, we are going to have to map out some priorities."
