Of course there were also creepy hooded people hanging around the lessons now.

Ivy had remained quiet for the first question, feeling like the other students had given enough good answers for that one. But now with the second question, she was trying to ignore the intruders and figure out what she knew about cockatrices that hadn't been said yet.

Then Aboli's answer caught her attention and brought something to mind. "I think that's a basilisk, yeah," she said, raising her hand. "But I remember reading somewhere that some translations of old legends about them use 'cockatrice' and 'basilisk' interchangeably, so some people might've once thought they were similar or the same." Or maybe some people weren't as good as translating as they thought. Or, maybe most likely, they just had never actually seen them both, so they didn't know either of them actually existed. Which, in that case, fair enough.
