Oh. My. Gosh! Necromancy?? Luckily, Olivia had watched many a muggle film in her day. An excessive amount, to be honest, so she'd heard this term before...and understood that it was basically dealing with the dead. And in magical creatures!speak, that could only mean that the focus for this lesson was going to be on animated corpses. They were totally called ZOMBIES in the muggle world. The inferi, here. Hmmmmmm. Not to be weird or funny, but how utterly awesome did the title "Necromancer" sound? Rawr.

Er.

Anyway.

Inferi....and things about them being at peace, which made sense. If someone tried to animate one of her loved ones, the Gryffindor liked to think she'd be very upset because it was kinda disrespectful to mess with someone's brother...or sister...or aunt, uncle, mum.... It was emotionally hurtful and just shouldn't be done. So, she got what Professor Hirsch meant about that....

....and about the Draugr. Um. Whut?

Perking up in her seat, Liv tilted her head to the side; quill flying over the notebook page. Unlike her knowledgeable classmates, this was completely brand new information to the blonde. That was good, however, as not knowing everything kept her interested in the lesson. Olivia liked actually learning in class.... Shh, don't tell anyone.

Ice and Fire.... AND THE MENTION OF HER FAVORITE: Fiendfyre. Not that she'd ever try to use it, it was known to be uncontrollable and dangerous, but the idea of it was quite fantastical. You know? Like.... one could see things like manticores, basilisks, chimeras... All the biggest and baddest magical creatures to ever exist on the planet. If you didn't take a moment to step back and actually appreciate how uniquely awesome that was, then... you just weren't normal.

Still scribbling all the things down in her notebook, Liv raised her hand. "Professor..." There was a question she was meaning to ask but then they were moving along in the lesson, and she figured she'd save it for later. No harm, no foul.

PRACTICE TIME! And the blonde Gryffindor had the upper-hand here as she was no novice to this particular spell. Thank you, Dueling Club for all your preparation and practice, forever and ever, amen.

So, hefting herself up from her seat with a slight limp... because growing pains were still very much a reality in Olivia Phillip's world, she hobbled towards the center of the room, just in case. It was better to be safe than sorry, you see... Deep breath. Relax your shoulders. Focus your mind. And... GO!

"Incendio!" Also... AS AN ASIDE, THE WAND MOTION WAS SUPER FUN. It was like tracing the top part of a flame... Unfortunately, her bow and arrow? skills weren't that great. Um, she had zero experience with these muggle styled weapons, because that's exactly what they were. Weapons. Like in those old period-piece muggle films. So, there were some nerves as she collected a pair of gloves, as well as a set of bow and arrows, hoping not to flub it up too badly. All she could do was try her best. And simply using ones wand felt like a cop out. And boring. DEFINITELY not her. "Incendio." With the arrow tip now ablaze, she focused on notching it (which was kinda more difficult than it'd been made to look by her classmates, thank you). Eventually, Olivia got it into position and aimed towards the target, pulling the string back as she'd seen Ace do. Oh, yea. Sorry, Ace. We were staring at you. Hi.

Right... So, light the arrow, notch it, pull the string back... and let it fly..... Merlin, she was kinda nervous, but before she could lose all her nerve, she squeezed her eyes shut and released the arrow. WITH A SQUEAK. OMG.
