Cosgrach nodded at her and smiled.

"Exactly," he said, "DADA is such an important lesson. Although we don't have any Voldemorts anymore, it's a vital subject." You never knew what life would present.

"What are your favourite subjects so far?" he asked in a lighter tone, because he figured she was done with questions for now? If not, he could answer any and all, of course.

They'd never get a job and that'd just be sad. What if they couldn't even afford ice cream?" She scowled at her hands. Maybe the appreciation of tree climbing could be her talent.

The fourth year looked up quickly as Professor Culloden continued, her scowl suddenly replaced with a beaming smile. "Ya really mean that, Professor?" If a real live professor said it then it had to kind of be true, right? They knew everything. It was a rule. She went quiet again, this time pausing to open the candy she'd been holding and popping into her mouth. Aw yeah. Cherry. That was the best one. Norah held it in her mouth as she listened, swallowing the remains just as Professor Culloden mentioned puberty.

A huge grin spread over her face and she began to giggle. And giggle. Aaaaand giggle. PUBERTY. PROFESSOR CULLODEN MENTIONED PUBERTY. HE REALLY DID. She wasn't sure if it was the candy or the puberty or BOTH but all of a sudden this whole entire shebang was the funniest thing that'd ever happened in the entire history of the UNIVERSE. "Pu-ber-ty," she hiccuped, letting out another snort. Norah rotated in the chair to drape her legs over one arm rest, resting her head on the other and placing a hand on her forehead. "Pubertyyyyy" hehehhe. "Is that why everything's terrible? Nothing's terrible anymore. Maybe puberty is a MAGICAL word." Haaaaahaha. Puberty. It even sounded funny. Especially when you said it over and over. Pubertypubertypuberty. "Puberty's the best, dude. I mean Professor. Professor Dude. Sometimes I cry for no apparent reason even though I didn't even tell my eyes they were about to do that!" It wasn't that awesome when it happened but thinking about it right now was preeeettty awesome. "And SOMETIMES everything is RADICAL." Like now. She sat up straight again with her feet on the floor, and squished her cheeks together into a fishy face. "See how radical I feel? SEE?" The words came out kinda smushed sounding but Professor Culloden would probably understand. He was the one who had said the magical puberty word, after all.

She eyed the bowl of candies. More. She needed more. This was the best candy in the entire galaxy probably. Why were they talking about concentration again?

Well, okay, the way this girl talked, you'd feel terrible for people who liked to climb trees out there. But, world didn't work like that and it was time she, uh, saw that.

"They can climb mountains?" he said - he didn't even know if that was the same as trees, and frankly, he didn't care. All he cared was how much she direly needed some concentration potion, because her way of thinking... wasn't very... focused, to put it politely.

"I mean it," he said, and would have explained what she had to do, but - ...............??????

"Yes, puber -" Why. Was. She. Giggling. Cosgrach did see that she'd eaten the candy, but quite honestly, he didn't even know why the word 'puberty' made her so... loopy. He frowned as he got slightly angry, because he didn't even understand.

"Norah, stop that!" he ordered - that being 'feeling radical'. "I take it back. You aren't in puberty. We'll get you a concentration potion and everything will be great."

Okay? OKAY.

Obviously Cosgrach didn't know that too, but being suspicious of Dakest instead of trusting him without knowing for sure if he's guilty or not was much safer. What shocked him was how Sophie couldn't SEE that. Why was she so willing to trust the guy? Or... or had she been already charmed?! He looked intently at her as she talked. HOW could he tell it? Ugh, he didn't even know - there was a POTION for it, but he couldn't use it.

"How can I even understand by only talking?" he asked at Ms. Trusting. How was SHE so SURE?

She wanted, truly wanted, to be able to understand the magic that she was casting so that she could try to always use it with the best and good and most honest of intentions. ”That does make sense Professor.” She replied, finally after he had described that the situation could change everything. ”Maybe that is why Defense class tries to teach us about some of the things we might face in life… so that… we are used to what danger can look and feel like. Maybe its so that we can try to keep um, a little bit of a cooler head to see what we are casting and what that could mean after we have calmed down.” Did that even make sense? She wasn’t sure but she hoped that he understood regardless. He was smart after all. Cosgrach nodded at her and smiled. "Exactly," he said, "DADA is such an important lesson.

Unless she was under the influence of the Imperius Curse or something... wouldn't she have done extensive research and background-checking on this new professor before hiring him? And the guy was an AUROR for crying out loud, his job was to FIGHT bad things like that. "How d'you know they wouldn't write something like that without a good lead? What if... what if they were just trying to brew up trouble? What if the writer got bribed and paid a hefty sum to write an article like that, or his family was threatened if he didn't make Professor Dakest look bad? Those kind of things happen in real life, too, and..." She shrugged. It felt so silly to be defending a man who shouldn't have needed to be defended at all. She'd never once gotten bad vibes from the guy. He didn't seem like a vile man, even a little bit. Especially looking at his wife and kids, when she visited his office with Evie... No, there was no way he was living a life of evil. "Well, whaddya gonna do then? If you think he's so bad, and you don't wanna talk to him, you're just gonna let your students keep going to his classes? Let him turn us into Dark witches and wizards?" Did he see how flawed his thinking was at the moment? He needed to come talk to him with her. Staying out of it when he feared the worst was cowardice. He had to do something if he thought things were amiss, and Sophie desperately wanted to prove him wrong. Obviously Cosgrach didn't know that too, but being suspicious of Dakest instead of trusting him without knowing for sure if he's guilty or not was much safer.
