By now, Catherine had been feeling more confident about sitting a little farther away from those she knew, and she was happy to simply take notes and listen to the lecture on her own. Of course, she didn't mind if her brother, best friend or any of the others she knew decided to sit near her, but if they started chatting away then they would have to move. Or she would.

This time, she was sitting nearby another Ravenclaw (Avalon) and Charlie. She was close enough to overhear their short conversation about the blue spekled birds. "They're Jobberknolls." She told them matter-of-factly. And regarding whether it was dying or not... "If it's about to die it'll make a very loud noise." She added, never taking her eyes off the professor and the cute little birds that were on him. It would be sad if it did die, but that was life.

Now, regarding the professor's question, Catherine jotted down all of the things she could think of and that her classmates were saying out loud. See, back home they could tell the age of their llamas and alpacas by looking at their teeth. Daddy knew how old the owls were not only because they owned they since their birth, but also because of their eye colour. Catherine could tell which of her fish were older or younger by the number of growth rings they had. And she was sure one figured out the age of a dragon by the length from their head to their tail. Unless their tail had been chopped off, then Catherine wouldn't know how to figure that out. She reckoned specific sizes of dragons would differ by species, but she didn't know enough about that - nor was she that interested.

The first year didn't fancy speaking up in front of the entire class, so she kept quiet as she sat up straight, holding her notes carefully on her lap. She was more comfortable about being at Hogwarts by now, but that did not mean she was going to talk out loud in a lesson and call attention to herself. No, thank you.
