Sassenach | RAVENPUFF | Sing me a song of a lass that is gone | bookDRAGON | #awkwardturtle<# Great Scott this man was an irritation. Of course she saw her classmates standing. Of course she knew she had to stand, but she didn't really want to. Although she figured he didn't give a fwooper about whether any of them were being difficult for him. He gave the aura of someone who enjoyed exerting his control over children. Pity. Hanna pictured how unhappy he must be in his life to need to dominate a group of under-aged students.
She smiled at him and jumped to her feet. Yes, JUMPED to her feet. "YES Sir," she said, resisting the urge to salute him. She jumped forward and did 25 perfect push-ups on her toes without showing signs of tiring. It was, after all, an exercise she had done at least weekly for the past 7 years. She and Mister Prichard it appeared would be standing for the rest of class, which was less good... but still. She just pictured him going back to his office once class was done, crying because of how lonely he was.
She frowned at him as he spoke. Did he actually think of the words he was saying? He was the RUDEST man she had ever had the displeasure of meeting. And she was SO close to grabbing her things and leaving his stupid class. He was a bully. A big stinking bully. And of course, what could they do? Nothing. Because their new even-more-of-a-bully Headmaster was just the same.
And then the questions. Hanna didn't like fire. She was glad she was standing where she was. It was nice for its warmth and all, but she had sugh a great fear of being on fire, which of course was why she wasn't glad to hear about their topic. Not sure whether to raise her hand or not, in case he bit her head off, she raised it. "Professor," she enunciated. In case he didn't catch that she had spoken to him by his title. Not that he deserved it."Pyromancy is where you observe the flame for shapes." And... things. "But it's dangerous because you could get so caught up in seeing things that you fall forward into it, catch fire and burn alive without having time to cast a flame freezing charm on yourself." Yes the thought absolutely TERRIFIED her.
