"Now that is a very good question. One that I was just about to go over in fact." Wonderful timing! What an unfortunate hair incident though. Oh dear. "Cold Ones can infect you, though their methods are more...tame, compared to a zombie. They are rather intelligent creatures, despite the reputation zombies have as being simpleminded. They take great care at choosing which battles they participate in."
"That being said, you cannot become infected through a bite. The part you'll want to avoid is their hands. They are indeed magical creatures...and can freeze your heart through a simple touch." With a short glance to the frozen zombie are, she started to move throughout the class. "Freezing your heart doesn't necessarily turn you into a Cold One, however, it is their preferred method of taking a life. Freezing a heart does not damage the body. They'd much rather have their subjects be as able-bodied as possible. What they do afterwards with the body however, is what changes you into not a Cold One...but a sub-division of the creature called the Skygge, which means shadow in Norwegian. Their naming was due to the resemblance you keep of your former self. Never really aging or decomposing. Like a shadow of your past." Poetic. "But, we'll learn more about them later on."
Based on the information, Cutty was starting to make deductions on just what happened to an individual who'd been afflicted by a Cold One. If they didn't affect the body, then perhaps his Defense Professor meant that they affected the figurative heart. Or, even that they did affect the physical heart, but that that was the only part of the body their touch affected. What happened to you if you should be a victim of one of these creatures?

"Cherry blossoms," was all she whispered, low enough for the two to hear. Did he get a whiff of it? If yes, then she had just told him her scent. If not, then he now knew her scent.

Cutty turned to Bev and whispered back. "
I don't care, Beverly Wayne. I don't care. Look at my face and see how much I don't care." And here his face dropped to neutral again. :|
Bev was pretty much winning whatever game they were playing here.

The wizarding world has tried countless of times to clean it up, though due to the ice and snow melting and then re-freezing for so long, it won't come as a surprise if the entire continent is now infected." Ending up back at the front of the class, a smile suddenly appeared upon her face. "However, there is some good news out of all of this. We have discovered how to defeat these creatures."
"Can anyone take a guess on what to do before we get into our practical portion of class?"
His attention back on the lesson, Cutty put his hand in the air to offer an answer to the question. "
Maybe it's a sort of potion. Can you spray 'em in the face like a doxy?" He looked eager and pleased by this prospect.
