Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Tina slumped down in her seat, trying to make herself as small as possible - not an easy task, as she was one of the taller students. Maybe making herself less visible would make her less of a target to be called on. If she didn't have to say anything, she wouldn't be wrong and look stupid.
She wasn't sure what to think when Professor Sissay said they'd be looking at the deeper meanings behind combinations. Don't get her wrong, she was glad not to be doing number analysis again, but this sounded awfully… uncertain. She perked up a little bit when she heard they were learning about water today. That sounded rather interesting, and - Did she hear that right? A question with clear-cut correct answers? Thank Merlin! Finally a question she felt confident answering!
Tina sat up straighter as her hand shot into the air. After being called on, she said, "As far as properties go, the chemical formula for water is H2O, which means two atoms hydrogen and one atom oxygen in each molecule of water. One non magical use for water is hydroelectricity, or electricity created using the movement of water to power generators."
She sat back in her seat, feeling pleased with herself as she finished speaking.
