Turning around to face the front again she furrowed her brow in confusion about the professor's strange homework-mystery. What was up with that?
After the professor's "class dismissed" Nancy turned back to Mariel again still a rather confused expression on her face. While packing her things into her bag she murmured towards the Ravenclaw girl, "What do you think? That's a strange homework-announcement, now, isn't it?" Then throwing her bag over her shoulder Nancy stood up, ready to go, as she remembered one thing. "Uhm...Mariel. I don't have an owl so could I maybe borrow yours. Just so I can owl the professor about that homework." Waiting for the girl to answer Nancy just stood there feeling a bit awkward.
Mariel watched tenatively as Nancy performed the spells on her arm. The first two went well, but Mariel cringed in anticipation of the third, remembering how she got hit in the face the last time. Squinting her eyes shut, she dared to crack open her right eye just in time to see the bandages wrapping around her arm. Phew.
"Well done," she told Nancy with a grin. She was sure that was a confidence boost for both of them. They both managed to perform all three spells perfectly on their second go. And just in time, as the professor began to dismiss the class.
Looking up to the front of the class, Mariel tilted her head to look at Professor Pierce and wrinkled her brow in confusion.
Owl me and find out? What? She turned back to Nancy who was mirroring her own confused look.
"Yeah, that is a bit.. odd. Wonder what that's about." Only one way to find out.
Shrugging softly to herself, she bent down to pick up her bag as she heard Nancy's question.
"Oh, yeah.. sure, no problem," she began distractedly. Straightening up she added,
"She's one of the few black owls in the owlery and answers to Pandora. Just call for her in a firm voice and she'll come to you." She filed away her materials in her bag and slung it over her shoulder, ready to walk out of the classroom.
