"I love to read," she answered. "And I've never actually climbed a tree. Is it really that fun?"
When Helena mentioned eating, Vashti suddenly realized that food had appeared on the table in front of her. Cool! "Oooo, this looks really good!" she said, then dug in.

"And as for Care of Magical Creatures, I just don't find creatures fascinating. It's not challenging enough. But we'll see. I might change my mind..."
Just as she trailed off, her nose tickled again. She couldn't help it--she sneezed. Hard. Right into her plate. Mashed potato went flying, landing in her hair, on her robes, and on Vashti's cheek...
