Lexi paused for just a moment when she heard one of the students mention being blind. Wow, she hadn't even realized one of them couldn't see at all. Still surprised, Lexi sort of blinked a few times then slowly smiled at the girl. Lexi continued jotting down notes as all the suggestions kept coming in. One of the suggestions, in particular, caught her attention. It was the one regarding keeping someone quiet when they are bothering you. Lexi sort of gave Destiny a half-glare, half-amused smile, though. Why, just the other day, even
Lexi had considered
langlock on that Ravenclaw child stuck in the swamp on the fifth floor. Could she
really blame young Destiny for thinking along the same lines? Nevertheless, Lexi didn't jot that one down on the chalkboard. It was just one of those...things to keep in mind.
"...lots of good ideas. House points to everyone who shared an idea! You'll want to make note of these, because you'll likely need them for your homework assignment," she said. She lowered the chalk and dropped her wand, but she left the list on the board for the students to copy.
"If you can think of something else that we don't have listed, go ahead and add it when you copy the list." Lexi pushed herself back up on the edge of the desk and looked out at the class.
"Let's focus on cooking for now, though. What are your ideas on how magic can help us when we're cooking...or just in the kitchen?" she asked.
Melissa did what she was asked and copied the list down from the board.
She nodded, she couldn't think of anything though so she just copied down what was there. She raised her hand. That was an easy question. "Safety, if there was a small fire magic could put it out easily and as muggles use electric appliances, we use magic we have much more space instead of wires everywhere," she had not seen any wires anywhere in Hogwarts or the Wizarding world and she didn't think she will ever do. She never saw them use electric too.
