As of right now, Archie wasn't as busy as he wanted to be, and was actually taking a daytime nap with a copy of the Daily Prophet resting on his chest.

In fact, one knock alone wouldn't have woken him up, but FIVE? FIVE KNOCKS????? Archie almost faceplanted his floor. But instead he let out one massive SNORT and jumped to his feet.

Who could possibly be visiting him? He crept to the window and peeeeeered through just to check it wasn't some magical creature that had escaped from the Forbidden Forest. He had frequent nightmares about that forest, by the way. But nope, it was a CHILD. With his eyebrows pressed together in confusion, Archie smoothed down his clothes and creaked the door half way open. "Hello?" Come on, Archibald, be professor-like. "Hi there. Wh..." Pause. Archie tapped his chin. "Hmm... what can I do for you, miss?"

MISS?

THIS guy was peculiar, yeah? AND acting HIGHLY suspicious. WHY was his door only a bit open, hm? Harboring some illegal creatures in there? And WHAT made him look at her like that? Plus he was having trouble SPEAKING which couldn't be good. Perhaps he needed a trip to the healer. Surely assisting him THERE would earn her favor, yes? She'd need to offer if the man continued on like this. That was the plan, anyway.

"Miss MADDIE." He'd want to remember that. "Maddie Cooper, Sir. I just wanted to come down and introduce myself. Didn't have much of a chance to meet the LAST groundskeeper." Oh, a smile would work nice here, right? And so the twelve year old smiled sweetly at the strange man, hoping that he wasn't some kind of WEIRDO who was going to cook her for dinner. She was SURE she'd read a muggle story about a woman in a hut-like thing doing THAT to children.

...She then wondered what she'd taste like. Probably chocolate.
