As usual, Shay was busy taking notes, as her classmates gave their answers and the professor commented on them. Then the professor brought out something rather surprising. It was a knife, a dagger to be exact. She must have been very brave to pass a dangerous weapon around with this lot. When the dagger made it to Shay, she unsheathed it and looked it over very carefully. It was really quite interesting. She tried to make a mental note of it's characteristics and distinguishing features.

Of course there was a question attached to the curious item. Fortunately or unfortunately, Shay was pretty much in agreement with those who had answered before her. Most likely a person would use a dagger to defend oneself. And being as though this was Transfiguration class, Shay figured that they could obtain one by transfiguring another object into a dagger. Since she had nothing new to add to the conversation, Shay remained quiet and kept writing.
