It was a similar feeling to the one when that shy-looking Slytherin took the podium. Not to mention anything of Satine, who had cut half her own work in half by providing the core issue in their joint debating. With Diane, it did not feel like debating, why, maybe she should consider a career in story-telling...

She leaned nearer the girl named Kiri and attracted her attention by putting a hand over her shoulder. She just wished to say to her, "I liked your argument." She spoke in a whisper, encouraged her. The fact that she had taken the one posture no one else had, even when it was evident it was not her view, Diane considered that was worth some praise.

Yes, Diane was rather impressed with a couple of them very much. She chuckled at some others she wished she could respond to, like Williams or that boy, Fyodor. It was indeed a good twist, even if Diane tended to disagree on account of how old and modern times were or the allegory of a professor which could also work in her favor...

On the other hand, the last person to speak said something about visits... where did she heard that before?


OOC: This post is actually mostly to add this OOC note that I forgot in my last post, and because Diane already ran out of chances to speak. I wanted to clear out the information used in the last post was from Evocation and Demonology in Wikipedia. (Also, the 'Convents of Mothers' mentioned last HoM class was referring to Magdalene Laundries, which can also be found in wikipedia.) More in here and here.
