A helpful student
40. Sonorus
Firenze faced the babbling group of third years that had gathered in his lesson. He could already tell he was going to have a handful trying to teach them anything useful – they were paying far too much attention to the forest-like surroundings they were currently in, and – he realized with horror – some of the girls were paying for too much attention to him, rather than the stars above them.
Sighing, he cleared his throat, preparing to begin the lesson and to try to teach them something. Anything, really.
“Good morning,” he began, but was immediately interrupted.
“Why have you replaced Professor Trelawney?”
“Is it true you were banished from the Forbidden Forest?”
“How long are you going to stay here for?”
Shaking his head, Firenze opened his mouth to speak, but the avalanche of questions was infinite. That is, until one of the boy’s up front pointed his want at him and muttered so only Firzenze could here, [i]”Sonorus”[/b].
Firenze nodded his thanks before trying to speak again, and this time his booming voice silenced the excited chatter of the students.
