Rosamund was being as social as Rosamund could ever be, and Lachlan, not what to break the spell--for lack of a better word--pretended to be oblivious to it all. "You've all made some very good points," MacFusty enthused, after checking that all the facts the students had supplied to him appeared on the blackboard after a lazy flick of his wand.
He'd also noticed that some of them seemed to have included some traits that muggles believed Sphinxes had. Though they'd gotten all of the mostly right, muggles had definitely let their imaginations run free when thinking sphinxes had wings. "You should know, however--"
"That I do not have wings!" Were they not using their eyes? She was right in front of them, for Cleopatra's sake! She had no wings. "I am not an Abraxan or some Hippogriff," Rosamund concluded, sounding both irritated and deeply offended.
"And the only thing human about me, is my voice and the face I sport," For the most part. She did have a face that could have easily fit on any thirteen year old, freckled girl. Though Rosamund liked to thing that her exquisite face, all cheekbones and dimples, would only fit in the body of someone with Veela blood.
Almost restlessly, she began to pace around the care of magical creatures professor, her tail gracefully waging behind her.
"Lady Rosamund is of course right, though employing that tone was not." He gave her a look. "Now that we are discussing the physical appearance of Sphinxes, however, I want you to look at Rosamund, at Rosamund's face, to be more precise, and try to imagine her as a human." Lachlan paused again, and sent Rosie what he hoped was an apologetic look. "After you do that, after you successfully picture her as a human, give me an estimate of how old exactly you'd think she is." Almost wryly, he smiled. "You should probably take her behaviour into consideration, too."
Suddenly, he remembered the blackboard and all the notes he'd appointed there. "Make sure you scribble down those characteristics if you don't have them already." They would be in the final. Maybe. Possibly.
Probably not.

Bowing her head once more to the SUPERAWESOME Rosamund, Kurumi was tempted to introduce herself when Selina spoke AND THEN GOT SPOKEN TO AS WELL!
"Isn't she amazing?!"
Selina heard a voice and looked around. Where was it coming from? She couldn't tell. "Kurumi do you-?" But then she saw it, her, it, her. A sphinx. Where in Merlin's name did she come from? They were not allowed to be private property, Ministry orders. So how did this new Professor get one? But more importantly she was talking to a Sphinx.
Clearing her throat Selina said, "Sorry, I didn't see you. I just... wow. You know that you are fantastic right? Seriously just beautiful." There was something very majestic about her. No wonder the ancient cultures all idolized these creatures.
She then heard Kurumi's faint voice echo to her, "Yeah she really is amazing. Bloody brilliant."
Then the Professor addressed the class and Selina sat up in attention and looked at him. Um, well she is somewhat immature. But at the same time she has a quick tongue, which would led Selina to believe she is quite young. "Sir, actually she reminds me of my age group. So I would have to guess around one hundred and twelve?" That was young for a sphinx right?
