| Casually catching up sorry (also mentions of Haddie) ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls
Anyway. She took a deeeeeeeeep breath and focused on the lesson. Creatures that lived in Hogwarts...
Katherine didn't answer right away, because she wanted to find a unique answer. Everyone would mention the 'cool' stuff such as the thestrals, unicorns, merpeople... who shouldn't be classified as creatures in her opinion, in the daily language (science, however, every living thing was a creature). She thoooooooought... aha! One that no one mentioned!
She raised her hand. She was excited for her answer, could the professor tell? "Boggarts, sir!" she said clearly. Sure, they weren't sure that one lived, but there must be. They liked the darkness and Hogwarts had quite a lot of dark corners, no?
........actually, if Haddie kept it up, she was getting that permanent spell BEFORE the end of the term. Katherine made a sound that OBVIOUSLY showed she was DISPLEASED with the girl. What was her problem!? Did she even think they would applaud her because she could be witty with a professor!? With a PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!?????? Look up to her? To be honest, if SHE had been in charge during the Hag's lesson, she would have left the girl forever in that frozen state. Soon. SOON, Haddie Denaker was going down. Katherine wasn't going to let her lose all the points she was earning with such hard work. Breeeeeeeathe...
At the second question, she listened to others first again to come up with a unique answer. Everyone mentioned the state of the lake... someone said pH...
Ohhhhhh! "The amount of salt, sir," she said as her hand was in the air, "what I remember from the muggle biology textbook," of course she remembered all, but shhh, "the fish living in sea have a special kidney system to return the water, and their gills excrete excess salt. It's the vice-versa for freshwater fish - the gills take in extra salt and the kidneys produce dilute urine. Now, if I remember correctly, the lake becomes more... saline, have more salt, if they have no natural outlet, or if the water evaporates quickly. Water doesn't evaporate quickly here," obviously, "but I don't know if our lake has a outlet to the open sea or another river, so I don't know if the fish here are considered saltwater or freshwater." There was no information on Hogwarts, a History... which was rather disappointing for such a book as that, which she thought contained everything. She would write to the editor. Books contained answers to every possible problem on Earth, after all. |
