Crud.
She did know this. Just...not by the right words. Or, at least, she couldn't think of the right words. Or didn't think she could think of the right words.
In other words, she was blanking. But decided to say only what she thought, which was also what she doubted was right. She only hoped that Treyen would understand what she was getting at and correct her. More often than not, things stick out in your mind after you've gotten them wrong better than when you've gotten them right.
"Float-...-ing?" The plants that floated...Ellie had no idea what else it might be called. But there definitely was one category of floating plants. "Submerged." The plants that were not floating, obviously. The plants that stuck to the bottom. "And...." And what? "The one that's in between." The plants that was neither floating nor submerged. The gray-area of water plants.
Hey, wait a moment.
Why was it taking her so long to answer? He wasn't testing her in any possible way, she was free to say whatever came to mind if she didn't know what Bentley would consider to be right.
In all honesty, she looked lovely while trying to guess the names. The smile on his face suggested he was entirely amused by this as well.
"Floating, submerged...and...yes, the ones in between I believe them to be called marginal...," he just had to check the book before being one hundred percent sure of it,
"...perhaps we ought to start with the submerged ones, you know, work our way to the top." Sounded logical.
The Prefect decided to make himself more comfortable by lying down on the ground. He didn't need the book, did he? She had it, it was far more important than she did. So, really, he could just rest while
she studied, right? Because he was studying for NEWTs and that wasn't happening soon, therefore, Ellie's studying was far more important and the one that required a book.
"Under which category does Gillyweed fall under?" he asked as his eyes focused on the girl close to him. Ellie, of course.
