Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Tina nodded. She certainly couldn't fault Professor Wayland for using magic to make his throne! She'd asked out of curiosity more than anything. She was a tad surprised when he said he wasn't good at art without magic; she was quite the artist herself and couldn't imagine how anyone could not be good at art! Maybe she'd do a painting of a phoenix for him one day.
As she waited for the lesson to start, Tina noticed a few of her classmates were covered in hair, though she couldn't properly identify them. Uhh... was that about? Was it an effect of a spell or potion gone wrong, or was this some sort of prank? She thought back to the attack of the clones in charms class earlier in the term. If there were students willing to masquarade as the Slytherin prefect, she supposed it wasn't too far-fetched that some would be willing to dress up as Cousin Itt. Though if this was a prank, she didn't understand how it was funny.
Tina was so lost in thought that she almost didn't hear Professor Wayland's question. When she did, she was even more confused than ever, though for a different reason. Lions, hyenas, and moose (Oh, my!)... what an odd assortment of creatures! Tina didn't have a clue where this lesson was going... unless there was some magical lion-hyena-moose hybrid she didn't know about! She couldn't think of a single thing they all had in common, other than the fact that they were all mammals, and that seemed too obvious to say out loud. Instead, she decided to focus on only one of them for her answer. She raised her hand and said when called on, "Some hyenas, specifically the spotted hyena, make a noise that sounds like laughing. They typically make this sound when frustrated or in times of conflict."
