Kalaya listened intently, the professor was right. So was the Slythering boy. The fact was- she didn't ask because she didn't know she had misinterpreted what a "deck of cards" was. But the idea that taking them out of the box made it 54 objects-when it could have been one- stuck Kalaya's curiousity. She was sure that could work in other ways, although she couldn't think of any.

During the pause Kalaya quickly scratched down a note of the spell on her notes- she was forever forgetting them if she didn't practice it every few days. Kalaya tucked it away in her bag and looked at the professor- waiting for anything else that was going to be said.
