But since they were deemed vicious, dangerous, and bloodthirsty, they were identified as beasts instead." Paaaause.

"I don't understand that. They fit being criteria, but because of a few other traits, they were denied that status? Are the supposedly beastly characteristics more dominant in them?"

She rocked and forth a bit and watched the professor. Observed. Hi lady. We see you.
So yeah, the older students were a bit intimidating. But Adrienne was determined to argue her point with everyone who was willing to talk to her, and also prove to Professor Roman that she was the most dedicated student in the whole class- no, in the whole school! She was the Care of Magical Creatures MASTER!

Ahem. She cleared her throat before raising her hand to respond to the Gryffindor. "Well, an acromantula for example, is capable of having an intelligent discussion of someone, but... ninety-nine percent of the time, it ends up eating the person who was trying to talk to it. So I don't exactly see how one would expect it to be able to overcome its own beastly instinct enough to contribute something to Wizarding discussions." Besides, both of them were mostly left to themselves, as long as they didn't kill too many wandering muggles or anything. It's not like they were being maltreated, they were just sanctioned off to sections of uninhabited forest.
