"Awrite, ma-Sir," said Lulu, leaping off the fence. She landed with a thud, almost graceful had it not been for her long arms which she still didn't know how to control. The teenager bounded through the crowd of students to the front of the classroom. She did reduce her speed when within feet of MacFusty and watched him warily. "Yer called?"
Lady Rosemund was yapping again. Lu cast the sphinx a curious look over a small shoulder. That one was a little difficult to guess immediately. The first thing she could think of was North, East, West and South but that really had very little to do with the clues given so she started thinking about the elements. Someone was quicker to do so; a Puffer she didn't know. Not surprising--the fact that she didn't know them, that was, as she tried her best to pretend they weren't sleeping so close to her common room. Other students had the same thoughts, almost simultaneously. Patterson snorted. "They sound awful, though!" exclaimed Lulu almost in a song. "Imagine having to be their sister?" continued the girl, a Glaswegian accent hanging thickly to the spoken words. "Their Mum must have it even harder! They'd be eating ya outta home all the time." "Awrite, Lulu," He repeated, though mostly to himself. Glaswegians and their accents; Lachlan was sure that were he not a Scot himself, he'd not understand a word they spoke. Picking up both boxes, MacFusty offered them to the girl. "Chocolate Frogs or Cauldron Cakes? Take only one." Not of each box. "Not of each of box. Just one."
Best to clarify. Quote:

Runs but never wearies? How was that possible. OOOH- A vampire! But, no, that couldn't be the answer.
Eats and never fills? She didn't see how that was possible either? Unless as they ate it just kept coming out. ...That would be really gross, and she just pushed it out of her mind.
Drinks and remains thirsty? This was hard!
Sings a song that was never good? Well that could be anyone.
Then Isobel thought of something. Water ran, and it couldn't get tired. So she decided that water was the first brother. Isobel took out a piece of paper and wrote that down. Then she thought that it would be logical for the brothers to be the elements, so she looked to see if it made sense. Earth? Earth drinks in water and air for it's plants, and it can never get full. Well a plant could, and die, but the earth itself couldn't. Fire ate things in it's path and it never got full. Isobel raised her hand. "Are the brothers Water, Fire, Earth and Wind?" Then she remembered that they had to say why. "Water, because it runs and never gets tired. Fire eats things in it's path and can't get full. Earth drinks in things but thirsts for more." Did that make sense? Finally..."And Wind sings songs, but it usually causes destruction if it's too strong." Quote:

Oh! the knocker made Jacob do this one a few years ago... he was waiting outside for 5 hours 'til someone let him in. Evil knocker might do some good after all.
Jacob raised his hand. "It would be the five main elements. Water. It constantly runs, but it can't tire itself. Fire. It swallows everything, incinerating it to ash. Earth. It absorbs water, and liquid, without filling itself. And Air. It always whistles, the the tune it always the same, and never nice to the ears."
Oh yeah. Go Knocker. Quote:

The fourth ummm.... think chris think! OH OH OH Wind! The first is water! Water because it runs down streams. Earth because it has lots of water that remains to stay. Fire, it will burn anything in its path and will keep going. And wind, it makes a sound of cold and not so soothing to the body!!!!!! My friend told me a similar one but not exact wording!" Quote:

In her excitement, she forgot to answer the riddle that was being asked and her cheeks flushed when Rosumond asked if she were part sphinx. She wasn't, but that would be AN SUPER!COOL!AWESOME!AMAZING thing to be. But, she had to wonder if that would be possible. She would have to look it up in a book about genetics later.
Raising her hand, Kurumi decided to provide further analysis to the riddle. "I agree with the answer of Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind," she stated. "Water is forever flowing and weaves its way around all obstacles, fire is able to 'consume' many things and as long as it is lit will continue doing so, the earth will absorb water and still be dry in places, and the wind creates gusts that cannot really be considered beautiful song." Although, Kurumi did like the sound of the wind blowing through the trees. "Isobel, Jacob, Christine and Kurumi," Lachlan called to the four students, and sort of waved the boxes of cauldron cakes and chocolate frogs for them to approach and retrieve theirs. "Lady Rosamund, one more riddle, please." Rosamund nodded her great head to all the correct answers and then rolled her eyes at the professor. He was a bore. "As you wish." "When one does not know what it is, then it is something;
but when one knows what it is, then it is nothing."
