Not expecting that reaction, Zhenya jumped, startled. WHOA! But it also cracked a smile on her face. Hehe. Dramatic, ooh, Zhenya liked! "No I didn't know! Was she really?" Zhenya asked, amazed. That was NEW information. But it made sense. "Was she cursed because she was really beautiful or for for doing something cruel?" Like... Narcissus died because he was too beautiful. Actually, because he was in love with his reflection, which he found was beautiful. Was that similar? Zhenya was totally hooked on this seminar already.

And now onwards!

Zhenya listened, riveted by the story. She felt happy when Zeus and Hermes finally found somewhere to stay, with Baucis and Philemon, and they asked to die together. And... and turned into trees, intertwining and wrapped around each other. Aww.

What kind of magic would that take? Well, obviously transfiguration. Professor Bellaire was super amazing at Transfiguration, she would surely be able to do that. But what else? Zhenya thought abut it, and raised her hand. "Apollo perhaps a really good potioneer would be able to study different ingredients and a way of mixing them together to change their human DNA into the DNA of the tree." She didn't know what that would take... "Perhaps some ingredients to destroy the human stem cells, and ingredients of tree DNA, and some kind of medium to implant it into the human's cells to modify them." That could happen, couldn't it?
