Besides bouncing lightly on the balls of her feet, Rylee remained calm and quiet. At least until the door slammed shut, signaling the start of the lesson. The bouncing stopped and the fifth year moved closer to gather around as the Headmaster suggested.

Taking one look around the room as she had when she first entered it, it was obvious that something was going to be taking place today. It was clear as day that the room was fully padded but what hadn't been so clear was that the room was also soundproof. Now that was a little more interesting. As was the Headmaster's first question.

Many things could be accomplished silently. Some a little more easily than others, she was sure. There was one thing though that came to mind right away prompting Rylee to raise her hand and answer when it was her turn. "Silence could prove very effective when working with certain creatures. Especially those that might be frightened by noise and might run and hide or lash out in an attempt to harm you because you startled them." Not all creatures handled noise well and the outcome of scaring one could turn out very badly.
