"Now we all know that Salamander Fires need to be maintained, and kept burning or the salamanders born from it will die. What kind of materials are good to use to maintain not only a normal fire, but a Salamander fire?" By the time he finished the question, he was standing in his spot looking at all the faces around the fire pit. Had anyone else noticed it had gotten a bit darker since class had started?
Grabbing one last Salamander was exactly what Felicity was doing, picking up a creature close to the edge of the fire and inspecting the scales on its back. She held it in one hand and started to rub the chili powder onto the areas that were damaged, giggling as it seemed to fidget on her palm. Putting it back gently, she listened to other students answer the question Professor Wayland put to them, thinking.
Like Etta, she was also surprised by the idea of 'materials', but nevertheless her hand went up. Of course, wood had already been mentioned, but, "There are fuels like gas and coal, right?" So they were mainly used by Muggles, and even then their use was limited, but they fit the criteria of
materials good to maintain a fire.
