Once given permission, Steve enters, giving the corners of the room a quick glance, as if checking for threats, but really, it's something natural to him after living with Kneazels for the last five years. Although those particular few creatures are fond of him, they like to sneak attack at any given chance. He's learned his lesson.

Making his way to the desk, he does take note of the room, but returns his attention quickly to his professor, as to not seem he's wasting the man's time. He makes sure to keep his tone polite and respectful, since he doesn't know this professor well enough to adopt a more casual manner of conversation. "Professor, I was hoping to ask you a question in regards to the upcoming O.W.L.s exam for Defense Against the Dark Arts."
