Her mouth opened to say that she knew about synesthesia, but the girl was already giving her a definition and continuing on about the spell she wanted to create. The woman's mouth closed, and she remained silent as the young Ravenclaw passionately spoke.

"I think that would make for a wonderful spell," she finally said with a nod of her head. "What have you got figured out so far? And have you considered speaking with Professor Marchand about it?"

As for the second 'oh,' Regina did notice that it was different than before. She was tempted to ask about that, but shrugged it off -- if anything, Quinn might have been expecting a very different response. Her head did nod at the mention of the Room of Requirement. "I see," she said with a slight shiver due to the cold. "So the backup plan was the battlements?" No music classroom? Or another, much warmer, part of the castle?

Quinn lit up a moment at the Headmistress's words. Hearing that the Headmistress thought her spell idea was wonderful stirred a slight bit of pride in her. As for the rest of the Headmistress's reply, Quinn's face slipped back into her a more neutral expression at the mention of Professor Marchand. It just adults always felt tricky to her, and it took a certain type to make her feel at ease to open up to, and ask for help, even for working out spell ideas. And while Professor Marchand in no way made her feel ill at ease, or uncomfortable in anyway, the reverse was also true. He hadn't exactly made her feel at ease or comfortable either. She was still rather indifferent and undecided about him. Same with her own Head of House. It wasn't through any fault of their own, honestly. It simply was teh way she was.

Perhaps, she'd go to Professor Grimsbane and see if she can be of any help. Or she might try to work it out herself, make this one be the first she does on her own.

"I've been looking into a spell that Professor Kennedy taught...the class." She couldn't really say, 'we' as she'd missed that part of the lecture, but Rylee and given Reese her notes and they had gone over the spell together. "The one that let him produce an aurora like effect. I figure look into ways to maybe modify that would be a good start."

Quinn flashed a slightly sheepish smile at the Headmistress's next question. "I had used the spare office a bit before I found the Room of Requirement, but people kept interrupting..." In no way was that meant as a dig at the Headmistress at present, but she did ask, and that was the truth. "I thought up here might give me some more solitude." And it had. The Headmistress found her as she was starting to wrap up anyway, and so hadn't necessarily been interrupting all that much. "I like my space sometimes..." She added, hastily. It was more than sometimes honestly, but sometimes sounded better to grown-ups.

"What was school like for you, Headmistress?" Quinn had heard that she hadn't attended Hogwarts, but wasn't sure what school she had attended, if that was even true to begin with. Her accent certainly seemed to confirm it, but Quinn's grasp of accents outside the UK and some more prominent European countries was very weak. American, or Canadian, or Australian, she'd venture to guess based on the Headmistress's English, but she couldn't really rule out anywhere else either.
