Logical, that was. "But you all don't need chainsaws like I do. What's something you oftentimes finding yourself NEEDING but not HAVING? And don't say women, 'cause that is a whole OTHER issue."
"Think about it then you can come up to the board and write down what you NEED today in class but don't have."
In the meantime, Shaw laid down flat on his back and stared without blinking up at the ceiling.
Was the professor trying to educate them about the opposite sex as well as transfiguration with that slight comment? Only Merlin knew. Glad that the chainsaw had been set aside, along with the whack job of a teacher, Theodore pursed his lips and thought. A light bulb flicked on over his head after a short moment and taking a courageous, deep breath, he stood up and marched to the board. Grabbing a piece of chalk, he looked over his shoulder to see if anyone else would be brave enough to be one of the firsts to approach the front of the class.
In neat cursive, he scrawled one word on the board: KNOWLEDGE.
It might've been a little cheeky but ingenious, no?
