"Oh no." Rodolphus replied. "They will learn the error of their ways quickly." he added and tilted his head to the side in thought. "It should probably be public too."

"Pushing yourself to the limits is a good way to ensure there are less people more skilled than you are." Rodolphus said. "So long as you do not over exert yourself." he added his eyes not straying from the fleeing boy. "Is he always like that?" he asked finally turning to Millicent.

Rodolphus nodded. "It seems that most have decided that my class is not for them, at least in your year."

"It will not be easy." Rodolphus said with a shrug. "It may sound like it is, but clearing your mind and controlling your emotions is one of the more difficult things to accomplish."

"My method does not work for everyone." Rodolphus stated. "But if you already find it relaxing i would suggest giving it a try. Just let the flame consume your thoughts."

"A quiet place is good to start, but you should be able to calm and control yourself in any situation." he said. "The technique I use is focusing on and image, letting that image envelop me, and thinking only of that. I choose to use a flame for my image."

Do you know anything about meditation?" Rodolphus asked.

"There is only so much you can be taught." Rodolphus replied. "Controlling ones emotions is a very personal task, it is something that needs to be learned on your own, well for the most part. I can help you meditate, from there you are on your own."

Rodolphus shook his head. "You have a tendency to speak without thought." He said. "Mostly if you get riled up, you need to work on that."

"Watch your tone." Rodolphus said his voice clear he would not be spoken to like that again. "Impressed as a word tends to mean good things, you obviously meant something completely different." He said with a shake of his head.

"You contradict yourself now." Rodolphus stated. "Earlier you equated fear and impressiveness, or were you simply acting like a child to annoy me?"

"Do explain how I misunderstand you." Rodolphus ordered, choosing at the moment to ignore her comment about her future.

Rodolphus shook his head. "You still do not understand what I am saying." he said. "You are in your seventh year here at this school, about to come of age and become an adult in our society and still wish to hide behind excuses, of emotional instability?" he asked as he stood from his desk.
"What use will you be to anyone once you leave this school, if someone invoking fear in others impresses you? What will you be able to offer to society, do you simply wish to be a trophy, to be something that has so little use that it is simply displayed and ignored? Or would you prefer to actually mean something, to actually have a purpose?"

"If you are only fuled and ruled by your emotions then you are useless." Rodolphus said as he shifted to look directly at her. "I understand that the students fear me, that should make them pay more attention to what I am teaching them, not scoff and play the fool." he added his eyes locking onto hers. "I was simply stating that fear does not make one impressive. I had thought after our previous lessons you would have picked up on that, but apparently you are too emotional to actually learn anything useful from my teachings." he concluded, his tone was even and icy cold.

"How exactly and I expecting you to act like an adult?" he asked. "I am asking you to think, if you are incapable of doing that then this entire conversation has been a waste of time."

"It has nothing to do with age, it is all a matter of perspective." he said. "Fear can be impressive, but it is not the best way to go about it."

"So you want to learn combat transfiguration." Rodolphus mused. "I am not certain that is something i can teach most of your classmates. That would be better served in our private lessons."

"Sadly, that is something I am unable to teach you." Rodolphus replied. "I do not have a form myself, and it has been a very long time since I attempted that bit of magic."

"Is there anything you wish to learn in this class?" Rodolphus asked after a few minutes of silence.

Rodolphus remained silent and continued with the papers. After about fifteen minutes he finished the last and set the stack aside.

"Do as you wish." Rodolphus replied at that before turning once more to his paper work.

"Use a school owl to order some." he suggested. "Going into the forest to harvest at this point is foolish."

"And you are required to gather it yourself?" He asked. "Rather than purchase it or use it from the potion classrooms stores?" He added with a raised eyebrow.
