"Good, and that's absolutely correct, Alice." Jeremy replied with a nod and a smile.
Alice smiled at Professor Zookara as he seemed pleased with her answer. Alice was also picking up that he was confused why she was embarrassed. She hadn't really been very concerned that he had mentioned it to the class, or at least she was a little, but that changed after the looks she received from just about everyone in the class. Alice hated sticking out like a sore thumb.

Though, something made him think she was. "Well, thanks for that creative input, Destiny." He almost turned back towards the class to resume his lesson when he thought of something. Something which made him smirk a little. "Though, on second thought, maybe you're right." And with that he fished a walnut out of his pocket (no, don't ask why he had one in the first place). "Would you like to try that?" He asked the Slytherin girl with an innocent smile as he placed the walnut on the floor at a (hopefully) safe distance of him and the rest of the class.
As he waited for Destiny to either agree to try or refuse Jeremy - still on the other side of his desk, as far away from the walnut as possible - turned to face the class again. "Now, in the meantime...I think we've by now all agreed that this lesson will NOT be about hitting somebody or vandalizing but rather about Baseball. Like in most games, there are two opposing teams. Can anybody tell what they are called?" He asked, his eyes flickering over to Destiny to make sure she wasn't sneaking up on him with the bat see how she had decided.
Alice raised her hand gently.
"In baseball there is a batting team, who is in the scoring position really, and then there's the other team which is in the field. The team batting is trying to hit the baseball far away enough from the team in the field so that they can run through as many bases as possible, ultimately trying to get through all of them so they can get a run. The team in the field is trying to stop the batting team from getting to the three different bases...well I guess four if you count the base you stand next to when you bat..." Alice stopped...perhaps that was a bit more detail than he had wanted.
