Ariana nearly covered her face with her hands upon seeing a
Ravenclaw come in late. Not that she would hold anything against the poor girl, who was probably embarrassed enough already, but... now they were five points down. And officially losing the House Cup. After, like, one day. Sigh.

"Well..." Her hand in the air, Ariana answered the question, though she personally would have thought this rather obvious.
"It's important for the same reasons that it's important to humans, basically so that their teeth stay in good shape and they can still eat." Duh. Oh well, she supposed she had read
all of her textbooks beforehand, so maybe that put her a bit ahead? But honestly, easy question.
"They need their teeth for eating." A moment after giving this completely stupid answer, Ariana decided maybe she should elaborate somewhat...
"Their diet can be somewhat determined by what their teeth are like, I think, for example a plant with really sharp teeth would be doing more tearing into flesh, while something with flatter teeth would do more grinding of... whatever it eats."
There, that seemed pretty satisfactory. With answers like that, hopefully she'd quickly help earn back the points that Kirie had lost.
