The riddle wasn’t making any sort of sense to Kendall right now, even though she was fairly sure her guess that the last line had meant that at least part of the answer had to do with Harry Potter. It was everything else she didn’t know about; the giant snake just sitting there at the door the other parchment was stuck to, the mystery of if the train was actually moving or if it was all a trick, who was driving the train if it actually was moving. There were way too many questions and not enough answers, and it was starting to annoy her. She hadn’t expected any of this to be easy, but that hadn’t meant it should be irritating. The only recourse she could take was to listen as Mo had started talking his way through the riddle, ignoring the snake for now. At least it wasn’t any other type of creature, namely an acromantula. As long as she was over here and it stayed over there, she wouldn’t have to hex it or anything.

“Well, this task is supposed to be part History of Magic anyway, isn’t it? So that would make sense. But is it a professor from the same time as Harry or some other time?,” she thought aloud, momentarily forgetting to pay attention to her housemate as she let her hazel eyes scan the lines again. There was every possibility she could figure out that other part, if she could just concentrate for a minute. Plus, she started just idly twirling her wand in her hand silently, making sure to not think of any spells or anything. She didn’t want to accidentally blow up the train or anything, even if that sounded like a good idea. It would let out some of her frustration and nervousness anyway.

Her concentration broke as she heard Mo speak again and snapped her head around to see him up on the benches, though, and she’d looked over at the snake again almost involuntarily. “Sure. I don’t think anyone would like it if either of us got eaten, after all,” she said, still looking at the snake. It certainly looked big enough that it could hurt them, if not swallow them whole. “Are you sure we actually need to go all the way over there, though?,” she added, remembering her wand and looking over to watch him slipping over the seats carefully. Maybe they could levitate the quill and write from all the way over here. She was willing to try anything that would keep both of them in one piece.
