"Stichstock," Sierra said, raising her hand. Though, by now, every other student in the room--err, on the pitch--had said the exact same thing. Her eyes widened a little, though--a broom room over a dragon reserve?! Sounded kind of interesting, just...not for her to participate in, nope.

Sierra frowned. No sooner had she gotten Stichstock out her mouth, the professor was already moving on to the next question. She narrowed her eyes a little, realizing she'd missed an opportunity for a point. Blahhh, Vinny Boy, Blahhh.
She raised her hand again.
"Okay, first off, this game is disgusting--I mean, a dragon bladder?" Seriously?
