It was.... Satisfying to hear her name mentioned along with Philips and the younger Botros' as the closest to the truth, a satisfaction that Aslan showed by a small, but honest smile that she quickly tried to calm.

Hirsch was easily one of the few remaining professors worth respecting or asking questions, and was one of the few who didn't spin about in circles when you put them into a spot with a... Arguably less than conventional question. Yes, satisfied. Aslan Evans found herself in a rare moment of academic fulfillment in the classroom.

............

She abandoned her note-taking to watch and listen (albeit halfheartedly) to her fellow students as they spoke on a question she believed too easy to answer.

And then suddenly, it got much louder and slightly more interesting.

Aslan had never been of a more amusing or enlightening lesson in all her years at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and Wizardry, and to think she had considered not coming at all today? What a waste that would have been. Although not a malicious person, Aslan couldn't help but find something entertaining in the way this lesson had turned from... Lesson to sword fight between Blaise Bellaire and Rooney-Ravenclaw. It was proving fascinating fodder for her research into the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Male-Mentality and Aslan made sure to write down as much as she could of the conversation including Rooney's stepping out and Katy Toussaint's blown kisses.



She reread through her notes before cleanly folding them up and tucking them away into her bag, she would do a deeper bit of research later.
