Cassia just couldn’t understand why the woman was taking it hard to believe that old professors existed in Hogwarts. Cassia thought about asking but she knew that her tongue only had her trapped in unpleasant situations. And Cassia already saw that the head boy was shooting stares so she wouldn't cause losing more points. So to answer the professor Cassia nodded weakly, sure not all. If Professor Burbage wanted Cassia to tell her that she wasn't included in the old category Cassia is so sorry that she wasn't going to. Only because she didn't know the woman's age and none else.



Oh good topic changed to rockets! They were building rockets. Cassia didn't know what to feel about this. She wasn't really interested in building, why build when you can get it ready-made. Though she had no choice now. She must build a rocket and hopefully it won't be that hard.

Automatically ,Cassia was nodding at the instructions given by professor Burbage and she had to hold her chin to fix her head because it was getting stupid. Stupid to nod continuously and stupid having to fix your head. She glanced around ,was her stupidity noticed by anyone. Hopefully not.

Scribbling down the instructions because she was most likely to forget them. Cassia took a breath in and gulped the liquid. She squinted her eyes at the fizzy drink's effect. But not so bad it was really. She arched an eyebrow at the first line in the instructions. Oh no! She was not going to the restroom, not in a million chance! So uncool it would be and Cassia wouldn't risk looking un-cool. Pffft..Firsties can go potty second years NEVER. So much for reputation.

Taking her wand out, Cassia shook her bottle..no Professor there is no soda left. And she was going to clean her bottle using the charm not the regular muggle-ish way. She pointed her wand at the empty bottle and uttered, "Sco.." She trailed off. Mmm..what was the incantations again? Cassia bit on her lower lip trying to recall the spell which the professor just mentioned. No such luck. Cassia frowned annoyed by her lousy memory and headed to the restroom to clean the bottle ONLY! After getting that done, Cassia went to the box and picked up a plastic bag, piece of cardboard and some dental floss as instructed. Before returning to her seat she picked up another bottle as well.

As she settled the objects. She took a general look and swallowed trying to get rid of the lump in her throat. She knew she wasn't very well at building stuff. But she had to be optimistic and believe in her own potentials. Whose words were those? Oh her mother's.

Glancing at the instructions again she inhaled deeply and pointed her wand at one of the bottles. "Diffindo!" She muttered. And the lid of the bottle was separated leaving two thirds of the bottle. And Cassia sent silent mental thanks to her mother for using this charm in front of Cassia.

Taking the bottle ,Cassia tested whether she it slid on the whole bottle. It did..a bit clumsily but those were Cassia's inexperienced hands. She moved on to the cardboard . wings she could do. Cassia was good in drawing shapes fortunately. Using Diffindo as well, Cassia cut four wings in a shape of right trapezoid. She smiled satisfied at this. Something she was good at.

And now moving on to the slightly harder part. Cassia arched stared blankly at the next instruction, "Adhero…." She murmured. Well, she doesn't know how to do this spell. She was either going to ask the professor or someone or watch someone performing it. Copy cat she could do.
