"Good afternoon, boys and girls. Easy day today. I'd like you all to read the poems you wrote which you may totally crib from the internets, because it's important you have one, and bring it forth to put it on my desk afterwards."

Rita smiled.

It probably was a good indication that the students should be a bit wary.

Peter read his awesome and completely original poem.

"There once was a man from Nantucket
Who painted a beautiful bucket
The colors were bright
The hues were just right
And he sold it for only a ducat"

Proud of his work which avoided being DIRTY! despite being a limerick, he walked up to set it on Rita's desk.

Rita smiled. "Lovely, Mr. Parker."

She then muttered, "Incendio," and lit Peter's poem on fire.

His spider-sense gave him enough warning to take a step back before his paper was set on fire. He stared at it for a moment, then asked, "Should I have used blue ink instead?"

"No, the ink is not the issue," Rita said sweetly as the flame went out and the paper was just a pile of ashes. "There is no place for writing like that in a setting such as this."

"Well, then I apologize," Peter said. "Poetry isn't my strong suit, so I just went with what seemed to work."

He held back his natural instincts to call her crazy. It wasn't a good idea to call people crazy when they can magically set stuff on fire.

Rita sighed. "No need to apologize, Mr. Parker. This is a demonstration. If you ever write something like this for another assignment, though? I will want an apology, and I will light whatever it is on fire as well."

"Understood, Professor."

Peter took his seat, still thinking that she was somehow nicer than Mr. Jameson.

Probably because Jameson would have fired him.

He then stopped mentally punning.
