Since Professor Hirsch had praised her answer, Olivia bestowed a pretty smile on him. Not a flirtatious one, as her affections for staff currently resided with Healer Reed, but...the smile was a sweet one, all the same. As if to say, thank you for acknowledging that I'm kinda smart and...excellent. He'd said the words, she was merely interpreting. Innocently interpreting, of course.

Seeing movement to her side, the blonde eyed Nicky readjusting his school tie. Hufflepuff boys were an enigma. Bless her strange friend...and his logical, elder-person brain. She'd not done a lot of reading on zombies, so didn't know much about them in the magical sense. Only what she'd seen on the telly, as was aforementioned. That sounded kinda worse than the inferi... Huh. But also...

Necromancy? Reeeeally?

Playing with the tips of her hair, Olivia glanced down at her lap; her mind racing for a viable answer. One that hadn't been shared yet. See, again, she hated not providing original answers. Therefore, she'd always go out of her way to say something unique. Because she was unique...and was trying to be more proud about it, to be honest. Also, in regards to the answers from her peers.... "I think location is an important difference, and that just because they aren't local, we shouldn't question the validity of their existence." Just a thought. "The Walking Dead, aside...I do know that zombies are based in voodoo. or vodou, which has roots in Haitian and African culture. It literally comes from a word for "soul", though I couldn't tell you the language or dialect...and I don't want to assume just because I can't recall correctly." She remembered reading it someplace. After she'd marathoned another muggle telly show. This girl watched a lot of TV, needless to say. "The stories are conflicting to me, but I think jars were used in some way to contain their souls so that they could be controlled after death." So, kinda like what Nicky was saying? There was a lot of information and Liv had kinda spaced out after a while.

"Mummies are based in ancient Egypt, and the belief in their Gods and Goddesses." She was good with some mythology, but...it got tricky with Egyptian stuff, since there was, AGAIN, so much information. "In fact, I don't know if they were used for evil purposes? As in, I don't think that was the point...but I'm not doubting that the wrong person with the wrong intention...could misuse them." Cause that was always the case, and really, people couldn't have nice things. History proved as much. "They're preserved with chemicals and such. "

Moving on...."Inferi are local for us." Everyone knew about them if they'd picked up a history book over the past century. Lord Voldemort was infamous for using them... "So, we all know that they are basically soulless bodies that are used as a safeguard." Not to repeat what anyone was already saying. So, Liv kept that short, sweet, and simple. "As for other differences, it's difficult to give them when there are so many conflicting stories."
