He wasn't wrong!!! Or at least, she didn't SAY he as wrong... but she seemed too happy and girly and sing songy to be the type to tell a kid they're stupid. He wasn't sure if he liked this or not. On the one hand, he couldn't handle super happy girly people... on the other hand, at least she wouldn't hurt his feelings???? Still, she was an oddball.

SPOILER!!: Professor

"Wonderful, insightful answers, students!" Nessa smiled widely at them all, approving of their input. Even the ones she thought were slightly off. "So we've learned that the trading cards could possibly be a marketing tool used by the candy manufacturer to increase sales, but that part isn't really what we are interested in for today's lesson." She did not teach business, marketing, or economics.. but if she did, this could make a great lesson as well!

"We are going to be focusing on another aspect that many of you brought up. There is a lot of historical and factual information on these cards regarding many important figures in magical history. One of the best parts of these cards is that it's a fun way to learn about history, without really knowing you're learning something!" And she just thought that was the best! Which was something she always tried to incorporate in her classes - having fun and learning something in the process. "And certainly you can make a game of it with the trading aspect. Trying to collect them all, trading with your friends.. learning in the process. And, just like someone had offered - the cards present the information in a fun, concise form. You aren't overwhelmed with information." And a lot of people learned best that way. "And not only that, but as a couple of you mentioned, they could even be inspiration." Why wouldn't they be? They were all pretty great.

"I am so proud of you all for not peeking at your card yet. I know how tempting it can be!" Her wide smile was still present, even though she knew there was one of two that did look. "Keep it secret still.. it's almost time to look! But before we do that.. one more question. What kind of witch or wizard is found on these trading cards? You don't need to name any specifics.. but why would one wizard get his own trading card and not another? How does that get determined?"

On top of not being able to look at their cards still, they had to answer more questions?!?!? Ugh.....

It was fairly straight forward too, and pretty much everyone had said it. The people DID things that were IMPORTANT, that ACHIEVED something. They were so important that they were worth remembering. They were... what's the word?........

....

In... no... Va.... no ... "Significant!" he said, his hand waving in the air now. "Significant... they were a part of things worth remembering, good or bad."

They had been a PART of history... with like, a legacy and stuff. He was sure that ALL the important adventurers EVER had a card too - provided they weren't muggles, but even THEY were remembered in the muggle world in similar ways.
