She wondered what others might have as their favourtie animal, hoping there were other more obscure ones like her own.

As the seventh year spoke about practice, Nia winced. "Intentionally flung? Oh dear! You're not exactly enticing me back there..." She laughed. "I'll be back soon enough," Nia said with a twinkle in her eye. Even though she liked to gracious and wouldn't admit it, Nia hated being on the sidelines. She wanted to play properly again.

"I hadn't realised it was that obvious," Nia said with a slight blush. "But I guess it would make sense you noticing if it was the opposite of what you were hoping." She brushed her hair back lightly. "To be honest, you could probably guess who I'm avoiding. The cry baby who severely dislikes me, yet always ends up working with me..."

Nia looked up to the Professor as he spoke. Oooh, they had to discuss their animals. The part she wanted to have was easy, and quite possibly obvious from what she'd written about why she liked it.

And then she smiled as she thought over the possibilities of the lesson - would they get to have a go at giving themselves these characteristics? Surely that was really difficult, animal transfiguration? Nia was even more glad she was working with Elizabeth, she was sure the older girl could help her. "What's your favourite animal, then?" she asked her partner, taking her own parchment into her hands.

Elizabeth smiled at Nia as she worried about if she'd be any good. "I'm sure Professor Svensson understands if some people are better at Transfiguration than others. And look at it this way. Worst case scenario, one of us ends up in the hospital wing temporarily. Not that big a deal. really." And then she laughed a little as Nia flinched at the bludger comment. "That may just have been me and Robert. I think everyone else has just gotten the usual yelling." No reason to scare her away from coming back to the team. Besides, her and Robert were leaving after this term, so maybe Willow wouldn't be as violent.

She nodded as the younger girl spoke in response to the avoidance concept, then smiled. "Your brother?" She understood that, even though she was free of them at Hogwarts, since her siblings were all back in California. Butthen they were told to start discussing their animals, and she shrugged again. "I said my favorite animal was the eagle. Probably not the most enlightened choice, given our house and all. But it's true." And there was no way she was going to end up with a beak. She was going to make that decision right now.
