Mel grinned when she heard Kirk’s reasoning and really, she got it. It was smart…not wanting to fight and defeat a contagious creature and not wanting to fight something controlled by another wizard. Giving him a slight grin and a little nod in acknowledgement at his answer. It was a smart answer after all, well, to her that is.

Still she was more interested in the fact that they were learning about Necromancy.

Sure, sure they weren’t likely going to learn how to raise a zombie or convert a friend into one like a science experiment but still, it was fun. It was challenging and like most defense against the dark arts it probably was slightly lethal…and she loved that.

Raising her hand Melbourne just grinned. Vi’s answer of course got a grin and a head not because hello girl knew her stuff about Inferi….still, Mel just smiled. ”Professor Hirsch, from what I have learned while studying for OWLs it appears that the Inferius are non-sentient reanimated corpses of the deceased that often don’t need to feed to sustain their second life where as zombies do consume human brains and living flesh for survival…” she paused for a moment before adding, ”there has been, as I have heard some information on how zombies retain some brain basal brain function which makes it so that the primitive sections of the brain used for hearing, sight, and smell still work when the cognitive brain functions cease to function.” she paused for a moment and shrugged, ”but that’s just…possibly hearsay I heard it in the Quibbler once actually,” she admitted with a grin and everyone knew the Quibbler wasn’t the most accurate source of information out there.
