Dani was immensely relieved to hear that spells could be cast without reciting an incantation, as it meant that she would still be able to use and learn magic.  Given what they knew of her already, it wasn’t very surprising that Professor Quinn would disapprove of Ravenclaw’s Head forgetting to inform Dani of the special measures that she would have to take to learn how to cast spells non-verbally.  

Dani, of course, was grateful that the professor would talk with the Head of Ravenclaw about meeting with her and scribbled a quick thank you on her whiteboard as another girl came up to ask about something known as the Unforgivable Curses.  To be perfectly honest, Dani didn’t take an immediate liking to the girl.  In addition to a posture and body language that was reminiscent of a peacock (i.e. arrogant and prideful), her tone of voice as she spouted off what she knew reeked of snobbishness, which wasn’t altogether endearing.

Professor Quinn didn’t even bat an eye, however, calmly and efficiently responding with more complete information on what were known as the Unforgivable Curses.  At about that time, the girl who had been sitting next to Dani throughout class joined her, asking if she wanted to get lunch and introducing herself.  Despite the fact that she seemed a little exasperated with the other girl’s boasting (Dani had got a glimpse of the eye roll), she also appeared to be a bit nervous, which helped put Dani at ease.

Nodding her assent, Dani gathered her things together and left the room, deciding to wait in the hallway for the fellow Ravenclaw student.  Once Roze joined her outside, they made their way to the dining hall that they had been in the night before, occasionally having to dodge a group of people or some other obstacle.  But, eventually, they made it and were able to sit down and get ready to eat.
