"They are both used for communication, sir." But how was that anything to do with Arithmancy? Would they learn... morse code or something? That had numbers, right?
Alice smiled at Rubiey once she had noticed she was sitting next to her. Classes were always more enjoyable when you knew the person you were sitting next to.
Alice felt bad she hadn't answer the first question, because she did indeed know that it was a telephone. After all she had one in her own home. She watched as Professor Zookara opened the owls age, looking at it with such dislike that Alice wondered why Professor Zookara seemed to despise owls.
"Both an owl or a telephone can be used to communicate with another person that is too far away from you to talk in person. Telephones are a good bit quicker than owls though, considering phones allow for instantaneous communication while owls can take a couple of days to get back to you, depending on how far away the person you are trying to communicate with is."
