Tracey wasn't too fussed by the seating plan. She's not in class to socialise, and it doesn't seem unheard of for a new teacher to do.
She did raise her eyebrow at the discovery of the teddy bear, but otherwise made no remark. The "academic year wish" to her was a little personal, but she dully cooperated and sewed the bear back up while quietly wishing for an "O" in Arithmancy and nothing below an "EE" in other classes.
The spells she practiced on her bear, in addition to expelliarmus, were the banishing charm, the freezing charm and the bedazzling hex.
