 be curious, not judgmental
Ew ew EW. WHAT WAS THAT THING. Sophie stared at the image long and hard. It made her skin crawl and the hair on the back of her neck stand up and she could feel the goosebumps on her arms, but she couldn't look away. What a horrid, evil-looking thing.
Even worse, Romanos was telling them they actually did exist. And... they hadn't been spotted around western Europe 'until now.' Okay. Cool. That wasn't super ominous or anything. NOW Sophie wanted a practical lesson on how to... stop this thing or defend themselves from it or SOMETHING. Disease? Destruction? Why hadn't she heard of it before if it was so bad? It sounded kind of like a Nundu in its level of threat to wizardkind. She raised a hand, "Professor, question - sorry - why do they bring disease and destruction? I mean, it's a demon, but is it just what they do? Or do they have to be given a reason to be so vicious? What's their purpose? Is it just in their nature to just wreak havoc wherever they go?"
And she had no idea what type of magic might be useless against one. Probably all, if the wizarding community had reason to be concerned. Or maybe Chorts were just really hard to stop? Also like Nundus, Sophie thought, which was also terrifying.
