What was it and those from the house of Slytherin being distracted? Did they think to be so superior that paying attention wasn't really important. But at least this one asked a question he hadn't gone over, so yea.

"The stones? They have two main purposes..."

What happened if you got bored staring at the sky, threw a stone and hit a bird? Would that flight pattern count for anything?

But oh look; another Slytherin asked that same question about the stones. Along with a million other questions.

"The stones are used for both for decoration and to add something of solidity as a barrier against the water's reflection. The solid, opaqueness of the stone helps to create a more accurate viewing of the pattern." Thereos nodded. "Which is also why a regular mirror doesn't do justice. Since it's not simply all about reflections, but also currents too. Ripples. From the flight of the bird. If there are clouds in the sky, then you might not get an accurate reading, if one at all."

That was all of them, right?
