Question at the professor! ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls Rooney Bronwyn, who was also supposed to be a prefect, was being RUDE.
The moment he finished speaking, Katherine GASPED loudly as she turned red - she was embarrassed for him, but he didn't look unfazed at all! Even though she secretly agreed with him too (Blaise had always claimed magic was stupid, but had he really tried hard enough?), it still didn't mean it wasn't rude or inconsiderate. WHO elected him as a prefect, again?
Worried blue eyes turned to Blaise to hear his response, but he didn't look heartbroken. She believed he gave a nice answer - but then... then he left. Like - gone out - withOUT a permission - from a classroom.
Katherine had made such a great decision by ending their friendship. She did not want to be associated with a rebel at all.
She mentally winced when professor took points, but he kind of had to, so she just shrugged and hoped people would be nicer to each other. She noted that Daxton and a girl she didn't know were also leaving, then compared the drawing of the professor with the one in the textbook. She... didn't really need to add more to that, so she patiently waited for the next part of the lesson. Oh, they were told to get up and gather at the front. She did so as she was careful to stay close to the professor to hear what he had to say.
He said they were going to be shrunk into a rosebush.
At that instant, everything began to grow around her. She gasped again and instinctively tried to hold onto something, but it was happening too fast. All she could do was keeping her balance - which was a game of her brain, she knew, but she still couldn't help it. The ground wasn't shaking, but her perception changed and it was dizzying. At last, it was done: she was a tiny girl beside a big rosebush and she hated the professor. Nothing was exquisite or beautiful about this. They were the bigger creatures for a reason, and that reason was...
...insects. Insects did inhabit plants, and some insects were carnivorous, and...
Her face went pale and she began sweating coldly again. No. Nononono, NO SIR. This man was the Hag-in-disguise, and he was going to have aaaaaaaaall of them eaten. Nope. She wasn't having it - but oh she so was, because there was no way out of here now. She didn't even hear the explanation, all she looked for was listening to the outer sounds for a buzzing and looking at every single movement with utmost fear. "Wh-what if-an insect comes inside, sir?" she asked shakily. Did the power of his magic shrink with his body, too? |
