Seeing her friends arrive for class, Alex greeted them. She returned Sander's wave as he went off to speak with the Professors. "Hi guys", she said to Bay and Lux as they approached her.

When class began and the Professor asked about puffskeins, Alex remained silent. Sometimes she found it better to just listen. Her classmates had a great deal of information to share and she took careful notes on their comments as well as the Professor's.

When the next question was posed, Alex thought about it. How do you get someone to do something they don't want to do? Thinking of an answer, she raised her hand.

"You could try using positive reinforcement. Every time the puffskein does something that you want them to do, they get a treat. You would give them something that they really like. Then if they do what you want consistently, you cut back on treats to every other time or every third time.". Alex didn't know if her idea would work with puffskeins, but maybe it would. If that didn't work, you could always try the Confundus charm.
