Any questions the Gryffindor may have had went right out the window, save for one. "You...need some chocolate?" Magical properties after all.

Sherman smiled a teensy tiny smile when the little children started asking if he was alright. D'awwh. Them ickles with all their concern. Especially Miss Hollingberry, coming over to him and everything and offering chocolate. They were so sweet. Maybe he could steal a couple of them. "Yes, children, I'm quite alright, thanks for asking." Beam. Beam. Beam. "I'm just a bit dazed.. that's all.. but, after that experience, who wouldn't be?" Hehe. "AND. If you have that chocolate with you now, Miss Hollingberry, I'd gladly take you up on that offer."

The old man grinned even more broadly when little Miss Cambridge begged him to let her stick her head in as well. "Such enthusiasm, Miss Cambridge!" He observed this with approval, nodding his head. "Unfortunately, I must refrain from letting you shove your head into the equipment because it could drastically affect you."

Maybe he should have had parents sign permission forms to let their children get into the jar. Or something.

"Miss Edwards," Sherman acknowledged the girl's raised hand with a nod in her direction. "No, you cannot control the speed at which the Bell Jar moves at. If you would like to stop the time cycle at a certain point, you must pull the object within the jar out." At least, that was the only way to control it that he knew of. "I'm sure I did remain an infant as long as the Death Eater did, actually!" He was quite positive.

That was question one. Question two: "And also, sir, does the time flow at a continuous rate? So, for example, if you knew exactly how fast it flows, and you wanted to age only a year or two, you would know exactly how long to stay in the stream?"

She wiggled a bit in her seat before blurting, "If you want to put me in the jar like you said, I'd be okay with it. Only for a little bit... I don't want to get old." Just older. More mature and less impulsive... which, if she were less impulsive, she never would have made the offer.

This girl sure came up with plenty of complicated questions that Sherman had trouble answering. Yet, he admired her inquisitiveness all the same. "That is a very interesting thought, Miss Branxton. Yes, I'm sure it is possible to use the jar to achieve immortality, but only trusted Time Specialists have access to this Bell Jar." He eyed the jar warily. "They are extremely rare, so I assume it would be tough to get your hands on one. Because of this, I'm afraid no law has addressed this issue, but if someone attempted it, I'm sure they would face the severest of consequences."

This girl better have not been planning anything. Mhm. Eyes.

And. More intricate questions. "Well, seeing as the Bell Jar doesn't flow at the rate of actual time, it is impossible to measure the rate of time. But, it is possible to measure the rate of the Bell Jar's time, so aging a specific amount of time is possible." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Of course, measuring it would require elaborate instruments and a large amount of time." Yes, that would have been a good thing to research before he lugged the hunk of crystal into the school.

He smiled at her once more when she volunteered to be place in the jar. "I'm sure you could handle it, Miss Branxton, but I'd need special permission for that." There were too many dangerous side effects to take the risk.. and he could ask Headmistress Truebridge.. but he didn't want to. Being afraid of middle-aged women and all.

Sherman furrowed his brow as he gazed at the young girl. "I'm not sure, Miss." He frowned and began to wring his hands, ready to present some more facts and let them conclude their own thoughts. "You see, if someone turned into an infant, my mental state would be changed as well. I should keep my memories, but the brain of an infant wouldn't be able to hold or understand my thoughts and memories, would it?" Unless Sherman had been a prodigal infant. Which he hadn't been. "So I suppose it would depend. But then again, if you recall the Death Eater, when his head got caught in the jar, he attempted to pull it out. Which meant that he remembered his purpose."

So, in truth.. Sherman still didn't know.

The Unspeakable shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't feel anything. But that may be because I'm narcoleptic, which means I tend to fall asleep when I feel strong emotion. So if I'm ecstatic or furious or melancholic.. here comes nap time." Such a disadvantage for a person.. but what could he do? "No, the Bell Jar doesn't kill. You could die multiple times while you are inside the jar, but it will always bring you back to life, unless you are taken out of the it when you are dead."

--------------

"Alright, children!" He clapped his hands and grinned at all of his students. "Now, we are approaching our last activity of the day. Does everyone see the tubs of paste and hard pasta on the desks?" He awaited nods and murmurs of acknowledgement from the children. "After all of this tiring work of straining your brains, we're going to have some fun. We're going to make macaroni models of the Bell Jar." Beam. Beam. Beam. He was now expecting applause. Ahem. "Please feel free to use any materials provided, as well as your wands if you have them, to complete this assignment!"

He wheeled around the room, waiting for the children to begin their work.

OOC: You will have approximately 24 hours to complete this assignment. Afterwards, the seminar will be wrapped up. Happy posting!
