Janelle listened and took lots of notes as Professor Ichihara gave them information about the Echinokarp. The creature sounded amazing. They were mild mannered and non-threatening generally, but when provoked.........watch out. Janelle knew a few people like that, but anywho..... When the professor asked a question about creatures and their defensive techniques, she did not raise her hand. So many good answers were being given, Janelle just chose to keep listening and update her notes.

Then it was Professor Draper's turn. Boy, they were getting a lot of detailed information in today's class. Janelle's fingers were beginning to cramp, but she kept writing nonetheless. She was fascinated by the Echinokarp. From harmless carp to XXXX creature, how cool was that? Well not the dangerous part, but the transformation part. When the picture of the Echinokarp was passed around, Janelle took a look at it. Man, it was ugly and quite scary looking.

The next question involved what the creature could be used for. Janelle's first thought was that it could be used by wizards to scare muggles away from a particular area. However, that probably didn't fit in with today's combination class theme. After giving it some more thought, Janelle raised her hand. Trying to tie in bits of all three classes she began to explain. "The Echinokarp could be used to......." Then Janelle went back to her original thought. "They could be used for protection.......for defense of a particular area. Defense through creature transfiguration." That made absolutely no sense, but Janelle did manage to tie in all three disciplines in her answer.
