Professor Vance had said about clippings, which was part of what Abra had thought to himself concerning the topic, and then she also mentioned the shape of the nails too, which was ANOTHER thing Abra had thought about. Maybe he should have given his answer out loud? Maybe also it was something to do with having Seer powers too, actually; it made him more likely to guess or instinctively know the right answers in Divination.
It was a good theory, but not a solid enough one to convince him to start giving answers left right and centre in class. Not that he even had the opportunity to start doing so right now in any case; rather than answering more questions, they were getting straight into the practical. Abra perked up at once.
But just for a moment.
HAND washing. Well, you know, first of all, rude. Was this actually just a sneaky ploy to get everyone to tidy themselves up? Or a subtle comment that they were all filthy? And ALSO actually, was this REALLY necessary? Abra was not at all eager to get his hands all wet when he was already outside and it was cold. Even if the water was charmed to stay warm or whatever, it still wasn't very appealing because they would nevertheless have to take their hands OUT of the water and INTO the cold air.
"Why do we have to do this outside?" Abra grumbled quietly, and mostly to himself, before realising that actually he really did want to know. Was it so that they could have the benefit of the sunlight? Because there were those window things that could let the sunlight inside, if necessary.
Abra eyed up one of the cauldrons for a few moments, doubtful about how necessary and also how comfortable this was likely to be. Even so, after delaying the inevitable for as long as possible, he removed his hands (which up until now had been very warm) from under his arms, dipped them into the water, and got to work scrubbing them clean.
