Then she lowered her hand and went to back to nonchalantly waiting for the next question. Flying was something she enjoyed...and something she was good at. Too bad she just couldn't come to school to fly and brew potions.

More questions like these would be fantastic.

"It begins in Kopparberg and ends in Arjeplog," Kurumi chirped, most likely ruining the pronunciation of the names. The first sounded much more like Copperburger and the second, well, she would be happy if Professor Vindictus was able make out what she had said. She didn't know how to pronounce Swedish....

Merlin...were they going to race around the world or something?

"Correct! One point each for your answers," Vindictus replied and another hand shot up in the air.

He listened. "There actually isn't an official name for the race, and my question was only about the cities. One point for your answer."

Vindictus looked at the class. "The dangerous aspect of this race is the fact that the course run straight through a dragon reserve. But don't worry - I'd never make you race on a course that involves dangerous creatures, such as dragons!"

"There's another ancient broom game and it originated in Germany. Can anyone tell me the name of this game? Just the name," he asked with emphasis on the last three words.
