Ok, see, there was something VERY ODD going on here. HOW, in the name of MERLIN, did the professor know that she was a Miss Di Marco? HOOWWWW?! Ryden slid lower in her seat, frowning at the table as she tried to remember if she'd ever met all the faculty members of Hogwarts before. If she had, she didn't recall it and she dearly hoped Father didn't have anything to do with that.

Perhaps they were watching them? A big brother type thing? But, this was the SLYTHERIN professor - shouldn't she be just a little bit cooler than that? Hmm. Or maybe there was a Nineteen Eighty-Four theme going on. THAT could be kind of cool.

At any rate, when the professor asked her question, Ryden came up blank, mostly because the easy things had already been said. And because "water from the lake" was an unacceptable reply, even for her.
