Hepzibah turned to the Gryffindor who spoke first, "My dear, lets stay focused on the lesson. Shall we?"
Her attention moved back to the answering pupils who seemed to relate well to the question, "I am glad you all seem to understand the concept of something being precious. However," she stared at the enthusiastic Gryffindor from earlier, "I didn't mean just an object my dear child, people can be attached to lovers, family, friends. Everyone gets attached to something and someone. I'm glad you pointed that out, 2 points."
"Most of you fell into my trap which I hinted at earlier: the easiest questions can be the hardest to answer. Well, most of you gave fantastic answers, but I was only looking for an answer! one thing that was most precious to you; but some of you couldn't decide. 2 points to the stuffed dalmation lover since she was the first to demonstrate what I actually wanted to see."
"Now, before we do lose our heads," she winked at the Gryffindor who suggested it, "we shall carry on." The Professor finished writing up the list of things the students gave, on the board, and returned to them with another question. "Who can tell me to what extremes would you take to protect, save or try to find your most precious valuable? hmm? Lets hear them!" |
