It should be no surprise that Nem had so far opted not to answer. They had no interest in being here, nor in any of their other classes, and though this had been the case in the couple of months leading up to the holidays - longer, even, but usually concealed - there was a different edge to it now. Or maybe that wasn't the word, as neither really constituted as having an edge at all.
Didn't matter. Nem was here, wondering idly if the Headsman would retract the permission for them to take their Transfiguration NEWT early if they just stopped showing up again, and how much they'd care if he did. The second question was not a difficult one to come up with an answer for.
Until now, Nem had been looking at the maze while the discussion went on around them, their eyes following a path through until they'd done so twice in a row, at which point they let their gaze drift elsewhere. They'd moved on to the items in front of them, and had taken to nudging the ice cube so that it gently slid back and forth on the desk. Clearly it was charmed not to melt, given it was exactly the same shape it had been when Nem had sat down. They were just curious to see if it was protected from the ambient temperature alone, or if the friction of its movement along the desk would make a difference. So far, nothing.
They still had nothing they wanted to contribute. Nem couldn't admit to having much difficulty with one material more than another, though metal was one that was supposedly difficult to charm, had its own branch. It had taken some extra work, that was true, but Nem had soon managed it. Stood to reason that it might be a slightly more resistant material to magic in the area of Transfiguration as well. Of course, there was more than just the basics to consider - not all metals were made equal. A similar thing could be said for stones and leaves, and even ice cubes, Nem supposed. Depended what had been frozen. Not even just 'easy' or 'difficult' either, but other attributes could factor in.
There was something to look into. Nem had delved into it already, with their experiments in metallurgy, but the stone thing might be worth playing around with too, if they got around to it.
