Constant Vigilance
Kardat was seated at his desk in his empty classroom when the kid he'd escorted through Diagon Alley ducked his head of wild, bouncy curls through the door, tiny fingers splaying against the wood to shove it open.
Since his arrival at Hogwarts, Keelan had practically become invisible, despite the steady stream of people who surrounded him. It was as though he existed in a little snowglobe all by himself, attempting to make himself as tiny and discreet as possible.
He had a large messenger-style tote over his shoulder, and was practically lost amidst miles of black and green colored robes.

Re: Constant Vigilance
There were the ones who loudly announced that they or their families had nothing to with Death Eaters or the Dark Arts, the ones who stayed quiet with their heads ducked and tried to will the bad reputation away, the ones who, even if they really hadn’t been involved, were sick of the prejudice and generalisation and aggressively told others ‘so what’ (and of course, those who joined in with this just because they were sheep), the (fewer) ones who publically agreed with the actions of the dark wizards and pure-blood supremacists, whether because they really did agree and were too stupid to hide it, were seeking reactions, or did so as a misguided attempt to defend oneself (and earned harsh responses from students and rebukes from professors), and also the ones who purposefully extended invitations of friendship towards other Houses to dispel it (because they were genuinely friendly, were making a calculated move, or needed to make themselves feel better and less unwanted). Of course there were also the muggleborn students (a higher number than before, as Slytherin House now focused less on blood purity) who were trying to get their heads around it, or didn’t care, and ones like Einda, who was aware but just did whatever she felt like.
Kardat had not been available for the first DADA class of the year, which was inconvenient because the first class was an introduction to the course, his expectations, and his students. Having to do this in the second class also made the beginning of the course feel disjointed. Professor Shar had kindly left him notes listing what they’d spoken of during the first class, as well as the students and homework. Kardat had arrived back from his three-day trip in the morning, and now sat there reading through them. He looked up at the first small movement of his door, and when he saw the boy, he… well he just watched him.
Kardat Blacksworth was a tall wizard, and his build was more lean than wispy. His hair was expectedly black, and the well-kept strands extended neatly down his back, reaching the bottom of his shoulder blades. Black eyelashes framed hazel eyes with noticeable flecks of green, yellow, gold, and amber-red. His features were smooth and sharp, but his eyes were not easily readable, his expression almost always neutral with a sprinkle of seriousness. There was a present but unaccented grace to his movements – but also that same sharpness – which made every gesture easy, confident, and when needed, swift without a hint of discomposure.
He watched him.

Re: Constant Vigilance
“What are you doing in my classroom?” It was a question spoken flatly; not a get out.

Re: Constant Vigilance
Some classrooms had spare quills for students who forgot theirs or broke them.

Re: Constant Vigilance
The parchment was still a bit rough, but the noise either didn’t reach Kardat or he was fine with it. The black-haired professor picked up his own book and began to read.

“Do you not ask to use the classroom.” It didn’t sound angry.

Re: Constant Vigilance
His hazel eyes were very distinct. Right now, at least, they didn’t hold him in a vice-grip.
