 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
Just for the record, Regulus was not convinced that the first years really did not bite. Though he'd not witnessed any biting incidents (yet), he felt sure they were all capable of it in the right circumstances. He understood Fergersnout to be joking, though, so had responded with another smile and a quip-like, "They might."
After that, he was fairly quiet, though not for a lack of answer, and not because of being sensitive to the topic - it did not bother him, though there were plenty of reasons it could have. Instead, he fixed a politely engaged expression on his face, and paid close attention instead to what was said by others, and in what manner - while remaining, as ever, being very conscious of what he said, and how he said it. He did the same again, when the topic turned to giants, following the disagreement carefully, crystal blue eyes bouncing from student to student as they spoke up.
But, when it came to the third question, Regulus reasoned that staying silent yet again might give an impression he was not aiming for. After several moments' careful consideration, he raised a hand. "They might have used the environment, instead of casting at them directly." To Regulus, and all he had been taught over the years, it was more or less common sense. "You wouldn't even need to outnumber them if you can turn the ground to a quicksand, or use plants like mandrakes or Devil's Snare, or collapse bridges under them." He could have gone on (and had far more brutal ideas in mind), but decided that that was plenty, especially if he wanted to avoid causing... upset. He supposed he ought to.
