Laura raised her hand tentatively. "Well, there's the Fwooper, Miss," Laura said, a little hesitantly. She wasn't sure if this was entirely correct, but she'd give it a go. No harm in trying, right? "It symbolises the number four... because of... erm, well I'm not sure why, but it does. But it's an African bird, Miss, with bright colours and a voice, well a song, really, that will drive anyone who listens insane. I guess it could mean impurity, because although it is beautiful, it's song is horrible. OR it could mean something to do with that old saying, yanno Miss. Silence Is Golden 'cause they have to be sold with a silencing charm on them..."

Hmm. Laura trailed off. That had all sounded sooo much better inside her head, she wondered whether she should've volunteered the information at all. Glancing down at her text book, her hand shot into the air again. "Is it four because it's four different colours?"
