Maya was ready for magically conjured up tomatoes and other vegetables, aswell as shoes and...whatever else these kiddos could pick up and throw. But, fortunately, there was none of that. Only dark faces and... two students actually left her lesson.

Sigh. There was nothing she could do about that now.
"The creature could be feeling all sorts of things," she watched the crup. It had now decided to stand still on all fours, tail curled under himself, and simply stared at what was around him.

"But to guess that it might be afraid, confused, feeling robbed, powerless, curious, vunerable..." she proceeded to carefully pick the creature up again,"...is about right."

Petting the delicate Crup, she continued, "It would also be a correct assumption that he was looking for his tail." Heh.

"We all know severing the tail of a Crup is not unusual, and in time the creature will adjust to it, as some of you have said. And as you also witnessed, it completely rubbed his perception - he suddenly had less body matter that he was used to. But wether or not the Crup feels less dominant, fears that it was a result of a reprimand, or ashamed, is our guess. But from my experience, when you remove something like the tail, the creature tends to be more confused than hurt."

"Professor..." she was getting red in the face. A mixture of surprise, shock and anger. "I thought this was care of magical creatures!" she said louder than she ment to.

"It is. But in order to take care of a creature the best way, you need to know what to take care of." Did that make sense? Maya wasn't sure she could rephrase that...

"It probably feels a slight loss like muggles that lose and arm or a leg and have a ghost arm feeling. They remember it being there and sometimes they get a feeling like it still is."

She looked again. "Or maybe the professor only made it invisible and the crup is confuzed that it can't see it."

Maya smirked at the girl. "That is interesting..." Ghost.

Finally Jacob watched the crup lower its tail. "Maybe it realizes that we aren't the creatures that we've dressed as." Jacob said and kept watching the crup do what it was doing.

"Thats an interesting insight. Indeed, I almost forgot you were all dressed up." Hehehe.

She became excited when she realised the girl who had spoke was Belle, and went to join her. Her red hair bounced, along with the large black wings into which she'd transfigured the shawl-sweater-thing her mother had slung over Charley's shoulders before she left on the Express. Transfiguring the clothes which fit Lauren's tastes rather than Charley's had been JP's idea, and although Charley had been sceptical, she was now convinced it was an absolutely genius idea. The hot pink dress was now a long-sleeved black one, cascading down to Charley's ankles, where the ugly blue flats now were on her feet, except that they were black Balmorals.
"Hi, Belle," Charley said softly to her friend, not quite whispering.
"That crup looks a lot like the puppy we have at home."

"I'm this close to taking points away if I hear more talking coming from you." She raised an eyebrow at the young girl.

What would be best, do you suppose, a dozen forked tail crups prohibited to live with loving wizard families because of fear of exposure, or the same going through a quick and painless procedure in order to live happily in secrecy? These animals don't choose to be magical creatures either, so should they be burdened by that and be deprived of the happiness of a family and home? I should think not." Not at all. It was, in fact, painless and not done for cosmetic reasons, but in order to maintain wizardry secrecy.

"Thankyou for your thoughts. Indeed, it could be reverse roles." Oh, all the if:s.

She ran to Emily and started to cry a bit. "How c-c-could she go through with this?" Nika put her face in her hands and closed her eyes. "Oh please Professor. Can we-" It was too late. The professor had done it. How could she! Nika didn't say anything. She couldn't. She was in so much shock and she was so upset. When she heard Emily speak up, she silently agreed with her and added a "I agree," at the end.

Er, crying? No, no, there would be no crying in her lessons.
"Please calm down, Miss Adler." Or...she'd...have to make her hold the puppy or something. That'll make her stop, yes?

I mean, it did just lose half of its dignity in front of an entire classroom of children. Surely that kind of sacrifice deserved at least a cruppie treat.

"I think he deserves MORE than a treat. You should hold him close and comfort him." And give him love and tell him that everything was going to be okay even though he lost an important part of him. Her eyes were now on the cruppie. The poor thing, did they all feel the same way about their tales?

Ah. Yes, ofcourse.
Picking up her wand again, Maya gently touched the Crups short tail, and it seemed that from nothing, the fork was back. No severing, just a disillusionment spell that felt and looked like the real severing charm. For the Crup anyways. She removed the shield aswell.

Reaching into her back pocket, she fed the creature a small treat, stroking it and hoping that it too would be allright soon. And also hoping the two girls would be satisfied.

Standing up now with the creature in her arms, the Mexicana adressed everyone. "Okay, now it is your turn. Time to get your costumes in use." She took the crate and put it back where it was, away from the benches to clear up the middle area. "I would like you all to pair up, we are going to have a three legged...walk." It wasn't a race because she had no prizes to give. "Tie your legs with that rope," a pile of pre-cut rope in equal lengths appeared in the middle of the cirlce, "And then let me know when you are ready to start." Maya smiled happily. She was looking forward to this.

OOC: Pair up with anyone you want, preferrable with someone that has a different costume than your character's. You can also be three in a group, that is okay.
