Sooo.

"Take a point for Slytherin for the information, Mr. Saitoh."

Di's eyes lit up. "You're getting a bit ahead, you know," she said. "That's a good thing, actually. The runes are certainly linked to light and colour, though I'm afraid the origins aren't. Take a point for your house for thinking out-of-the-box, Prefect."

"The second part is right," Di said pleasantly. "The legend in question speaks of wolves. Take a point for you house, Miss Morey."

Miss Flores-Shepard seemed awfully distracted, today. Di made a mental note to talk to the Slytherin, after class.

"No, they aren't a bunch of werewolves," she said, though she smiled slightly at the statement. "The legend has a lot of awesome things to say on that topic, though." Including some completely ridiculous stuff that muggles had made up.

Di's eyes lit up again. "Excellently said, all four of you," she beamed. "Take two points each for your houses."

For comprehensive answers.

Di smiled lightly. "Yes, so goes the legend, Miss Emerson. Take a point for your house."

Di looked up. "Not exactly like - as you so appropriately put it, Mr. Salander - that dude Lupin," she smiled. "Or Greyback, for that matter. But along those lines, yes."

Di nodded.

"Exactly, Miss Malfoy. Take a point for Slytherin."

"Kwoli," Di supplied. "It means wolf. Take an extra point for Ravenclaw for the additional information, Miss Greenweell."

"The belief in a personal guardian is part of the culture," Di agreed. "Take a point for Hufflepuff, Miss Swynford."

It was amazing, completely amazing, how Mr. Fletcher's answers could still stun her. She had seen him fish a cookie out of his hair and eat it, and he still stunned her.

Unbelievable, right?

Blinkblink. Di... eyed the Champion. Then she said, quiet slowly, "I suppose I should give you two points for unbelievably massive creativity."

So she did.

Must. Not. Stare. At. The. Kid.

Nod, nod, nod.

"You're all correct," Di said. "Take a point each."

She spoke to the class, in general. "There are a number of variants of the legend, but the one most agreed upon is that a mythical creature transformed a wolf to create the first member of Quileute tribe. From then on, members of the Quileute tribe could transform or 'shape-shift' into wolves at will, though they only employed their powers for defense or in times of danger. Now, this means that the Quileute tribe is not -" Di smiled lightly at Miss Flores-Shepard - "a 'bunch of werewolves,' given that members can change at any point in time, and the transformation entails no pain."

She paused. "The Quileute tribe has existed for a long, long time, and did so before the Statue of Secrecy - the law currently in place that prevents witches and wizards from revealing themselves in front of muggles - was implemented. This is one of the main reasons that, in old times, muggles claimed to have seen Quileute members transform. This gave rise to stories that were handed down and are still handed down but, fortunately, modern muggles consider them to be no more than myths and legends. Now, the question is, what do you think gave rise to all these myths and legends? It's obvious that the Quileute tribe isn't a bunch of werewolves, because they can transform any time but the fact is, they can transform into wolves. How?"

It was a simple question, really.

Text Cut: Points board!

Blink. So not not quite like Lupin or Grey~~hound~~back, but similar? Can transform into wolves without pain? Then they could be...

His arm shot high up in the air, suddenly thrilled over the possibility of what they were discussing "'They're Animagi! People that can transform into animals at will. Like McGonagle ~~PhillyCheesteak~~ and Harry Potter's dad James Potter and...."

he took a deep breath as he declared the name of his most ultimate favorite character from all the Potter stories.....

"....SIRIUS BLACK!"
