Kurumi was beginning to realize that this was going to be a common occurrence in this man’s class, namely the staring and utter confusion that never seemed to leave her face. Glancing nervously around the room and looking at the board. More specifically, she looked at the RED PEOPLE section, which she assumed meant her house.
Her jaw dropped and she looked at the man. “
S-S-S-Shaw?” she squeaked slowly raising her hand. “
A-A-Are you h-h-having us build armies to f-f-f-fight against one another?” They WERE dividing into groups and coming up with their own spells and whatnot.
Kurumi felt her heart drop…

Shaw will try out the ones I think will work best at the end."
Okay? Shaw looked confused and ate another bite of cup.
…and continued to feel it do so as she continued to listen to the man’s words. Then, she heard Selina speak and she instantly leaped across a few chairs so that she was next to her Gryffindor friend.
Yep, she would be sticking right next to Selina during the rest of the lesson.

Checking the board again, Kurumi noticed an obvious pattern with their materials: a shield, armor, and a hard hat. Those were all defensive items, but perhaps when combined could create something much more.
“
S-S-Selina, do you know any Latin words that could combine all three of our objects to create a sort of robot? Well, not a real robot, but looking at what we have, it seems as though if we transfigured things properly we could create an iron giant.”
