And speaking of ideas, the fifteen year old hesitated as the girl asked if he had any. Not really, and not more than what she did, as he was thinking that much himself before he had come over. "Yeah, I was kind of thinking that too. I've never written a song in my life and I don't think it'd be that easy," he added with a chuckle. "We could just take a well-known song and swap out some of the words to fit Dumbledore's life." Or something about him. That was the best he had so far though. And that shouldn't be too hard, right?

But as for what specifically about Dumbledore to focus on, he really hadn't thought that far either. He looked up at Cassie when she voiced her idea though. "Oh.. yeah, sure. We could do it on that if you want to." Really, he was open for anything. "But I don't think I know all of the uses... there's twelve, right? I know dragon's blood is used in potions sometimes.." And him not being all that knowledgeable about it would mean that she would have to do a lot of the work, though he probably could think of good rhyming words. Songs usually had those. They wouldn't have to do twelve verses, would they?

Cassie noticed he hadn’t answered her question on his own ideas, but he did seem to be going along with the ones she was voicing. She guessed that was a good enough thing. Meaning she wasn’t completely out there with her ideas and he wasn’t going to be picky and prove that they couldn’t work together in the end. Not that she wouldn’t have given up her own way if Henry had come up with something that could work better. The Ravenclaw wasn’t THAT stubborn.

Twelve?

She looked to the list of accomplishments on the board, noticing the number next to the uses of dragon’s blood with confirmed her partner’s question. “Yeah…” Cass mused, her face falling slightly. Could they really work with all twelve? She too didn’t think she knew them either. “And I believe there’s at least one cleaning use…and a possible cure for some illness.” Her attention turned momentarily to her textbook before she grabbed it to search for further mention of Dumbledore to see if the rest were listed. However, the professor chose that moment to say they were running out of time.

“Bummer…I think it might take longer than 20 minutes to figure out all 12,” she mused with a sigh. In fact, she wasn’t sure they had enough time to do much. “A shame…we could have maybe used the 12 days of Christmas.” The coincidence in the numbering had seemed perfect.
