Dora gave the man a LOOK before she expelled a heavy sigh, sending a plume of white breath vapor out before herself. "While others have mentioned that Inferi are controlled by a dark wizard history has proven that said Dark dude doesn't have to be anywhere nearby for the Inferi to move and attack as they please. So o don't think facing the Dark person is necessarily something that needs to be worried about exactly. Besides, this is a purely hypothetical situation and to be frank, the way I imagine it is that the dark wizard isn't nearby." Pause for air and a stink eye to those around just in case anyone thought they were going to speak over her.

"And furthermore they are mindless. Why not face a rotting, mindless corpse? And fire was literally my answer to the why. Fire is an amazing form of magic... one that I appreciate above most others. One that requires control aND finesse that some don't quite understand or possess. And while yes, most things can indeed be destroyed by fire, I personally chose the Inferi and the fire. Period. Personal preference."

And as to his other question? "Inferi are controlled by another's bidding. Reanimated... legends have it that mummy's are risen by a curse. Also reanimated, but not controlled. And zombies... are they even real?" And she didn't appreciate the man hitting her Gryffindor bone that MADE her answer things when she was trying to ignore him and get through the class.

Hmph.

Darn Professor.

Nothing else shall be said though. Zipping lips and no locking them tight.
