Oh and would you look at that! It was time for that game where you guessed the guy the Professor was talking about! She sucked at that game, wonderful.

While the Professor spoke she got busying skipping through the pages of her textbook--see Professor, she actually took it out this time--until she came to the topic of tessellations. Obviously she wasn't prepared to read this whole chapter so she skimmed the words until she found a name. Sure there were other names too but...reading...not gonna happen.

"Are you talking about Maurits Cornelis Escher, Professor? I mean, I see his name right here so he could be legit, right?"

Alec looked down at the sticker on his parchment and grinned at it. Hadley didn't want their drawings, right? So he could keep this parchment and, more importantly, keep the sticker that was stuck onto it? Because it was an awesome sticker. And smiley too! And did it... smell like ice cream too?

... No, now was not the time. Maybe later. Maybe.

He looked up from his parchment when Hadley started speaking again. Famous dude... someone who was very into tessellations. And this person probably had really complicated looking designs, yeah? "Professor Hadley?" Hand!raise. "Is it... erm... Maurits Cornelis Escher? He... was a Dutch graphic artist person." Who... was very into tessellations, probably. Nodnod.

Anyway, famous tessellation maker dude? The blonde wasn't really sure. She listened to Lex offer a name and it sparked something, though the sixteen year old wasn't even sure the gryffindor had been right with her guess. "That Escher guy? I remember reading a bit about him too. He's like...the 'father' of tessllations or something."

Yes. NO MORE for him...

As for the next question...everyone seemed to know about this guy Professor Hadley was talking about. He didn't personally know...but given that he was listed in the book, the Slytherin felt he was probably the best guess.

"I'm going to go with the trend and say M. C. Escher..." They're said his whole name. Dylan didn't have to...Oooh, fun fact. "His family called him Mauk."

"Precisely right! Maurits Cornelis Escher would indeed be considered the father type to Tessellations." Hadley nodded, an extra look at the Snake Captain. "And yes, Mauk is what his family called him. Nice trivia point there. I won't bore you with his artwork, but if it phases you, then I highly recommend checking out a book or museum, which showcases tessellations, as some of his designs are phenomenal!" You know, if they were into art and whatnot, which she guessed some of them were, others not so much.

As for the question, Tobias had no idea what the answer was, as per usual. But he was there to learn, right? So he would soon learn the answer. Still, it was worth a guess.

"Tesla?" he tried, hand raised. That was the name of a guy from history and it SOUNDED like tessellation sooooooo... yeah. Worth a shot.

"You bring up another good point." Although tesla wasn't his name, it was awfully similar to something else related to tessellations. "The word tessellation comes from what Latin word? And ironically, what does this word mean?"
