 more questions for professor Gryffindor for life Notorious Niffler
As she entered the fun room with Derf, the first year's eyes went wide. Like wider and bigger than her cruppy's eyes could get, even. Because she had never seen all this Muggle stuff before; they seemed to really like rectangles or square things with screens.
Then she noticed the weird machine with a microphone attached to it; it was also hooked up to a metal, square screen thing. Well, it wasn't that hard to figure out that somehow the microphone and the screen went together, and since this lesson was about music -- were they going to sing? But how would a screen thing help with that?
She had just turned to Derf to see if he wanted to go touch the weird machine, because things with signs saying "do not touch" were often really cool to touch, when he raised both of their hands and attracted the professor's attention. Oh well, maybe they could sneak over and touch it later.
Plus, Derf had a really good question. Emmeline stared at her friend in amazement because he was brilliant. "I think the bird's songs should count as music too." Not that she could answer the Hufflepuff's real question, or had any evidence to back her opinion up. "It's not fair to say that only people can make music. What about phoenix song?" Normal birds sang pretty songs too, but it was obvious that phoenix song should count as music to the first year -- not that she understood why it should count. She paused, getting kind of confused herself now: "But what about crups' barking? Does THAT count as music?"
Yep, definitely confused now. Because why should the sounds a phoenix made count as music, but not her cruppy's sounds? That didn't seem fair. She looked at Professor Stewart hopefully; she could answer their questions, right?
