"There are three theories regarding the origin of Magic," pauna kong sagot. "One of which is the PDQ Theory of Professor George McGreggor, the former Headmaster of Grim Academy," dugtong ko.
Napatingin naman sa akin ang mga kasamahan ko dala ang mukhang bilib na bilib. Si Melina, Luca, Nero at Percival ay nakanganga habang si Yojan naman ay nanlalaki lang ang mga mata. Si Vitani naman ay hindi nakatingin sa akin. Wala na namang pakielam.
"PDQ Theory states that, from a single point of our life, magic just started to grow inside us instantly, faster than the blink of an eye,"
"And what is PDQ?"
"Pretty Damned Quick, Professor," sagot ko.
Napatawa naman ang mga kasamahan ko inaakalang nagpapatawa ako. So hindi nga sila nagbabasa?
"The next theory is The Loan Theory of some anonymous Loriciologist. According to this theory, God lend us this special ability, this lore, and when time comes, He will take it back from us,"
"Very well said Mister Scamander. That's already enough you may sit down," at umupo naman ako.
Nilunok ko muna ang laway ko dahil parang napagod ako sa kakasalita. Biruin mo, ganun pa lang nasabi ko pagod na ako.
"Let's have Miss Scars. Do you have any idea about the last theory?" tumayo naman si Vitani at hinanda ang sarili.
"It's The Freebee Theory. This theory contradicts The Loan Theory since based on this, lores are gifts of God for us because our ancestors didn't eat the apple from the tree of life. This theory is a bit theological,"
"Right there Miss Scars," ani Professor. Umupo naman si Vitani. "Among the three theories, in which do you believe the most? You first Miss Marvins,"
"For me, mas naniniwala ako sa sinabi ni Vitani. Ang PDQ Theory kasi at The Loan Theory ay parang walang basis. Unlike sa The Freebee Theory, may ibinagay siyang reason kung bakit tayo hinandugan ni God," her reason is a bit technical.
"Mister Percival?"
Tumayo din si Percival at katulad ni Nero kanina ay parang hindi din siya mapakali. Namamawis na rin siya dahil sa kaba.
"'Yung... 'yung The Last Freebee Theory din po,"
"The Last Freebee Theory?" nagtataka namang tanong ni Professor Slouch.
"A−a−ang ibig ko pong sabihin. 'Yung−'yung the last theory po na sinabi. Ang The Freebee Theory," utal-utal niyang sagot. Parehas lang sila ng sagot ni Melina.
"Kasi po. I−I believe in God," kahit hindi kumbinsido sa kaniyang rason ay tumango naman si Professor. Napahagikgik naman ang ilan sa amin dahil doon. Ang ilan lang at alam niyo na kung sino ang mga hindi kasama dun.
"For you Miss Stimpskin," masaya namang tumayo si Luca bitbit pa rin ang mga teddy bears niya.
"Mas naniniwala po ako sa The Freebee Theory kasi parang parehas po siya sa akin," tonong pambata na naman niyang sagot.
"How come they are similar?" tanong naman ni Professor Slouch.
"Kasi po diba? Ang mga teddy bears kong ito ay gift din sa akin. Kaya parang kaparehas ng sa akin," mabuti pa 'to ang bata may punto kung sumagot.
"Mister Darke," tawag ni Professor kay Yojan. "Let me here your thoughts," dahil doon ay tumayo si Yojan at tumikhim muna. "So for you?"
"I'll go with the Freebee Theory too," tumigil muna siya sa pagsasalita saka yumuko na parang nahihiya.
"And why is that?" follow-up question ni Professor Slouch. Nanatili lamang siyang nakayuko at nagtagal pa bago siya sumagot.
"'Cause I don't like apples," sagot niya saka umupo.
