Fluttery Pegasi Hadley grinned. She was gonna die if she had to stay in her robes. Thankfully, Ichihara had given them all permission not to wear them. Thank Merlin for small favors. Hads quickly shucked off her robes and gave Tenacius a wave and a look that seemed to say, I'll explain later.
Turning back to Professor Ichihara, Hadley hesitated. How did she want to play this? She wanted Itchy Mara to know and yet not know. Know that she was serious about animagus training, with or without the Professor's help and tutelage, but not so blatantly as to end up into detention because of it.
How to respond.
After thinking it over, Hadley uncapped her marker and started to scribble on the whiteboard. When she held it up again, sprawled in her neat handwriting was, The cat. As in the cat has her tongue. But around the answer, boarding the edges was an intricate leaf and vine motif. The real answer, hidden as a doodle at the edges.
With a smirk, she erased the board and thought a moment more, this time about the tanks and a question to ask. Then she held the board up for Ichihara. What is the name of the creatures in the tanks?
