"Oh yes, comfort. Good, Mister Mordaunt. Not normally what one would think of with ice, but you bring up a very valid point." Especially in the summertime.

Stretching her legs out in front of her, she happily nodded and made a noise of agreement. "We sometimes forget this very fact too. We'll be discussing this a bit more later on in the lesson."

Streeeeeeeetch.

Reaching for her toes, the professor took a moment of silence before speaking to everyone, "So their benefit is that they can be created and eliminated in more than one way. That is a very good point, Miss Wojack. This is actually an important aspect we should always realize, especially if we find ourselves stranded from either mundane or magical components."

Wiggling her toes within her boots, she nodded slowly as the next answer came in...

Her expression brightened a bit. "Yes, good Mister Baines. Too much of something can have it's downfalls, fire and ice being no different."

Sitting up straight, Medea smiled and hummed a noise of agreement.

"Yes, we should remember, not only do they have their benefits and disadvantages as individual elements, but joined together they will counter each-other out." Which was either a pro or con depending on the situation.

Hopefully a con.

This right here, Medea gave a few extra nods.

"I hope everyone is taking notes, because there are a lot of valid points your classmates are making. They both indeed have their unpredictable moments, especially when not handled with care so to speak. Yet they both have wonderful benefits both in comfort and for the existence of species. Excellent, Miss Clarke."

Or as Airey would say...Stellar!

Defense was indeed something she was looking for in answers. "Keep this line of thought, Miss Carrington. We'll be discussing more of it in just a little bit." After everyone had their turn in answering the question perhaps.

There was that peasants word again.

Opening her mouth out to speak, she paused for a moment before shutting it again. Umm.

"Perhaps, in novels..." So it wasn't ENTIRELY wrong. She supposed. Unfortunately.

One thing about language was...you had to know it to understand it.

Though Medea tried her best to grasp what the third year was explaining, nodding her head in understanding even if she didn't understand most of it. "Right, they do have a rather destructive nature."

She kept a mental note to ask him to stay behind as well.

Eyebrows raised in amusement as her gaze setteled upon the second year.

"Don't tell me you're hungry, Mister Scabior." Har har har.

Seriously though, did he have breakfast? Most important meal of the day!

Did Eden eat breakfast too? There was plenty of talk of food going around.

Medea grinned at the talk of s'mores, mentally echoing it as shmoes. "Excellent, Miss McGee."

Food. More food.

Although she was suspecting it was because it was one of the more common ideas when it came to fire. Warmth and food. "That's quite a major benefit, yes. Good." she smiled with a simple nod.

Here's to thinking a bit more outside of the box!

"Medical purposes! I don't believe that was mentioned as of yet." she happily commented, scooting back into her lotus position. "Wonderful thought, Mister Tempus. Ice indeed has many benefits when it comes to injuries and illnesses."

"They do indeed." she mused for a moment. "Keep this thought in mind, Miss Guidry. We may come back to it in a moment."

"Excellent, Miss Brown." she nodded to the Ravenclaw. Hitting multiple targets with one stone in her response.

With the performance they had before the lesson began, she was surprised to hear Angel participating at all. Good for her though! And with an excellent answer. "Yes! Great thought, Miss Valentine. It is quite common for people to use fire as a means of locating others in cases of emergency."

"Sort of?" she repeated, smile growing. "Quite true, although with your wording, it'd depend on the spell being used to extinguish the flames. You may end up with flames in a more cold and frozen element."

"Good, Mister Rehman." she nodded to the prefect. "Rather essential for our everyday basic needs."

Oh, they had not heard fire's side of the story when it came to healing yet.

"Are you aware of any other forms of healing fire can do, Mister Tinker?"

Curiosity of the boy's knowledge had overtaken her.

Oh? Medea's smile grew a little. She particular loved to hear that word in defense class. Depends. At lot of what they learned and discussed depended on what the situation was.

"All in all, their uses don't rely in just benefits." she nodded slowly. "But benefits they do have, and it's quite wonderful that you brought up healing."

Making a small noise of agreement, she absentmindedly let the little mechanical bird run loose again; sprinting around the woman once again. "Excellent, Miss Rawthorne."

Relaxing her posture... she suddenly sat up straight again, pointing towards the fourth year before retracting her hand. Ahem. "This. This is quite an important note to take. Air and water can aid fire if used correctly, or...incorrectly. Whichever perspective you wish to view it as."

People should write that down. Even if it was half on topic and half off topic.

On the other hand, she was intrigued with his view on the strength of ice and fire. "I see your point, Mister Newell..." she began, thinking over what to say. "However, fire cannot create as much damage to stone as ice or water?"

Hmmmm?

Her mood had lifted greatly since the students began answering. Especially with all these out of the box thinking going on. "That is quite true." she nodded in a bit of surprise. Honestly, she didn't think that sort of answer would have come up, but there it was! "Even if burning down nature is viewed as wrong to most, it is actually a beneficial act, depending on the situation."

Again, depends. Such a lovely word.

...but she didn't know that little fact. "Does it really?" She'd heard of mint helping nausea, but not ice. How intriguing!

Oh? She didn't expect poetry to be given as an answer, despite the Slytherin being rather correct in her response. "Fun fact... did you know that some had thought to believe that the poem was based on a scientific opinion from astronomer Harlow Shapely?" Whether it was true or not, who knows.

She done a little research on astronomers in her spare time, yes.

"Like yin and yang." She nodded to the Hufflepuff. "Good, Mister Lecium."

Depends. The word practically sang perfection.

"Yes, excellent." she smiled and nodded to the second year.

Her posture relaxed, having been rather content with Cutty's response. "Much like a fiery phoenix, symbolizing rebirth." she nodded in agreement. If that was what she was to take away from his fire comment that is. She couldn't help but chuckle however, just slightly.

Ice was indeed a good hiding place.

"Wonderful response, Cutty. Excellent."

Did that answer blow anyone's mind?

'Cause she already knew that fact and it still did. "Yes...actually. Good."

People should...write that down.

"Good, Miss Ackerly." she nodded. No one was particular wrong, so she was right.

"Keep that offense and defense in mind, Miss Wayne. We'll be getting back to this in a short while." Well, sometime soon. Eventually.

"Reflection. We hadn't had that answered yet." And quite true as well! "Excellent, Miss McAlistor."

"Basically, you are all correct in answers..." Except maybe one, but even she had a point given the right circumstance. "But I would like to focus primarily on the defense and offense uses of fire and ice... with emphasis on ice. However, a good handful of your responses were related to the basic needs of humans. So, I have a bit of theory question for you all before we continue on."

"Do you think the human race could survive without either fire or ice? And... what about the differences between the muggle and wizarding world. Would the survival rate between the two be different?" There was no right or wrong answer though she was not looking for talk of superiority either.

Just curiosity and food for thought.

She got praise in a classroom? What was going on? Ophelia wasn't used to this, especially not in a class with her brothers and sisters. She was getting actual praise about an answer? Woah. Also notes. Scribbling down notes as best as she could, the firstie wrote all of the of the other answers, actually kind of interested. It was kind of telling what they answered, wasn't it? Now she knew what kind of people they all were. Well, sort of. If she cared more about psychology, the blonde would conduct more tests and figure this all out, but she wasn't Newton, and science wasn't her thing. Except maybe it was. This whole 'being okay in school thing was confusing!'

Also, that peasants word again. Could she chill with that word? It was very annoying to hear ninety thousand times. She got it, they were peasants or toads or whatever. And apparently made people cry. Was she normally like this? Uggh, not the point. Ophelia apparently really needed to focus on focusing on the teacher. Because this was all too crazy and was taking away from her chance to form thoughts and get more praise. Maybe that whole 'forming your own path thing' was overrated. Maybe the eleven year old WAS meant to be like her siblings. Rolling her brown eyes subtly at little miss evil over there, she allowed herself to be absorbed in what the teacher was saying.

Also, the answer. Fire and ice? Well, that was a little more difficult. Didn't like reeeeeaaaaalllllly ancient people use fire for pretty much everything? Cooking, light, and leather making and sword forging and stuff? So that was a no. But ice. What did people back then use ice for? Nothing, right? It was like a burden until someone figured out that you could put it in drinks and have a cold glass of something that would eventually be watered down when the stupid ice melted.

Hand in the air and a smile on her face.

"Well, fire, no, ice probably. Because wasn't ice like a huuuuge problem until someone figured out what it did? An iceburg sunk the Titanic, right? So without ice we might have a bunch more people, and not have that really old movie with the cute blonde guy.... Leo something. But fire was like all the first people used. For warmth and clothes making and to make awesome swords." Pause for a sword slash, to emphasize her point. And that thing about muggles and wizards, WOULD there be a difference? Well, what about that whole Salem witch thing? A huuuge advantage to having good brothers and sisters was finding out stuff you couldn't figure out yourself.
