"Thank you, Rosemary." Holding one of the boxes he'd summoned, Lachlan walked toward the Gryffindor girl. "Have a chocolate frog." Unless she preferred a cauldron cake?"

"Is her name Isabel?"

He began, then scratched his head.

"So basically, the 'bell' and the 'girl' are the same thing..." He concluded, suddenly feeling wary about his answer. He constantly felt wary in this lesson.

Well.

They'd all answered correctly, but Simon and Amy hadn't explained their answers whereas Jamie HAD, so he supposed they'd all --for lack of a better word-- won? Shrugging this off, MacFusty gave all the three students a chocolate frog before returning to his stool.

"Another one, Rosie?"

Rosamund was mildly put off that everyone had figured that one out so quickly, and because of this, she straightened and lost the smile that had been flirting on her mouth.

"I go round and round in circles
But always straight ahead
And never complain
Regardless of where I am led."

OOC: Just to let you guys know that getting the answer wrong is part of the fun, and let's face it--realistic, too, as not everyone is going to be right. What I'm trying to say here is NO EDITING, please. Yes, I can tell when you do it. *watches*
