Violet took notes furiously... She wasn't getting what he said but after she did took notes and looked after it she started to understand. |
Erica listened to all of her classmates get more and more confused as Fox continued to try and explain again and again what exactly what they were learning about. After everyone else had their say, she raised her hand and threw her interpretation into the ring. She could only hope that she was on the right track, otherwise she'd have to count herself as lost as the rest of them. "Okay, so Professor, if I understand what you're saying about the zeroth law, it isn't really a spell, per se. It's more what's going to happen to all spells within the course of time if nothing is done to prevent it, a natural occurence. That and you wouldn't be able to tell what a particular spell can withstand in terms of decaying because each spell is different. These numbers only act as a sort of guideline as to what properties a particular spell will have. They don't represent actual spells, just certain properties." |
Professor Fox looked to Terry as she asked her question. "Numbers have magical properties only in as much as they relate to specific spells. We will learn more about this in the next lesson when we begin to describe spells using large prime numbers. Stirring your cauldron clockwise three times has a different magical affect then stirring it clockwise five times. Good question Ms. Weasley." He turned his attention then to Erica and seemed to be almost beaming. "Yes! Exactly Ms. Arbon, you have hit the proverbial nail on the head. Numbers only represent what properties a given spell may or may not have. They are our way of understanding a spell without knowing its incantation or method of casting, complex as it is. Excellent, excellent." He checked his watch and sighed half with dissapointment and half with relief. "On that note, it appears class is ended. I will post the homework on the homework board. As always, you may always see me in my office with questions." |
Peony blinked. "Woah, that was fast," she murmured to herself, feeling the headache stop throbbing at the prospect of relief. The class had barely lasted an hour- but it had seemed like three to Peony. If she wanted to pass up her homework however, Peony decided that it was either see Fox, or copy off someone. The latter was rather attractive. |
Erica was slightly taken aback at Fox's reaction. She'd never ever seen him quite so happy before. It was startling to witness. Gathering her things together, she yawned and wished for nothing more than the weekend to hurry up. She needed a break and some extra time to get all of her things done. Nodding to Fox a goodbye, she headed out of the class. |
Violet was just staring at the board and muttered "wow that was fast..." " goodbye sir" and she left the room |
