Sigurd! Alice's previous disappointment from getting her first guess wrong disappeared almost immediately as Botros continued. Did he remember her questions about this hero from last year? They weren't ever answered, but she'd done her own research, and it looked like it was going to help her.

"He does a lot of stuff with Fafnir's remains that kind of help him. Like bathing in his blood to become invulnerable and tasting it to attain the ability to talk to birds and eating his heart to gain wisdom." Almost like a really knowledge desperate Ravenclaw, she decided.

"But I think he was a hero 'cause he had the courage to kill the dragon, and that Sigurd was more respected because of that and his bravery, not his smarts or cunning." Did the eagles and snakes hear that? Total Gryffindor. Alice liked this guy for sure.
