 be curious, not judgmental
Wait... wait. "Not very intelligent" was on the board? Erm. "Professor?" Soph's hand was in the air. "I disagree that giants aren't intelligent. I mean, look," she was pointing at the board, "we even noted that they have their own language AND can learn other languages, including our own. A being capable of learning and speaking many other languages doesn't really seem to be lacking intelligence to me. I mean, they might not be as smart as us, but that doesn't mean they're not intelligent."
She didn't think any giants would take too kindly to being labeled "not very intelligent" either.
As for the ghost's question, Soph's hand was back up and she offered up her opinion. "I think it's common sense why he did that - since giants are so powerful and dangerous, having them as allies just makes SENSE. I mean, if they're recruited to Voldemort's side instead, that means the good guys will have to take ON the giants and as I said, it's mega hard to take down a giant with spells, even moreso than a dragon - so they'd have wanted that kind of immense power on their side. The side with the giants definitely has an upper hand no matter what, as giants can hold their own defensively AND offensively, too. They're strong all-around and I'd hate to be their enemy."
Or even just stumble across one for that matter. She didn't trust giants not to impulsively attack no matter what. Giants just did what they wanted, man. With that kind of strength, she supposed they could, too.
