You know what was just as pleasant as getting to go to her favorite class? Getting to see so many of her favorite people, of course. And as Vera had gotten herself comfortable in her seat, those she was most familiar with just kept coming after. Starting with her favorite team mate (which she was NOT calling former teammate yet, okay? Even though they had already passed their final year of play). Kion got a wide smile and a grin, which was also then turned to Aryan who arrived soon after. One of her two favorite slytherins, as it so happened! Though... while she wasn't a master of reading people's auras or anything, the body language she was picking up from Aryan had her mildly concerned. Especially as it appeared he was trying to fold in on himself. He was quiet, absolutely, but... this still seemed different. She kept her smile in place however, as class was not the time to sidle up to the boy and check on him. Besides - it's not like he might even want to talk to her. But she'd still find a time to tell him that if he did, she was happy to listen.

She was distracted from all of her thoughts as Sia joined the chat group, and her smile increased once more as she nudged her friend back in greeting. Aurora and Maria were the next familiar faces, and she waved at both in greeting as well. She would have verbally addressed Maria too, if it weren't for the fact that as she did so Professor Paton was already beginning the lesson. Sending an apologetic smile towards her friend, Vera focused as the CoMC Professor began to speak.

At the question of if the subject of the day should be dragons, Vera's hand SHOT up in the air as she grinned widely. Anything in the reptilean family was something she was adamantly agree should be the study of the day. And she certainly hoped that Paton wasn't just teasing them - though that did not seem her style. And it certainly wasn't! as the first activity was introduced and they were matching dragon skeletons with the posters of different breeds. Ve looked to her friends seated around to ask if they wanted to work together, but she quickly changed her mind and decided instead to see if she could challenge herself to do it on her own.

And with that. She got to work.

The peruvian vipertooth and the hungarian horntail were the first she was able to identify, having looked for the particular tail end of the second and the smallest statutre for the first. The antipodean opaleye was the next she was able to find, thanks to some photos Alouette had previously shown her of the dragons on her family's reserve in New Zealand. The others took a little bit longer to work through, but she kept at - slowing making a list of notable characteristics for each dragon so that she could then look for those items on the different skeletons.

It was interesting how much more difficult this task was however when you couldn't see the color of scales.
