Poor fishies.

This one took respect to an ultimately new level. It was a bit strange, however, James liked it. More kids ought to be like this one. "Partially," James nodded. "The inhumanity in the sport mainly derives from the fact that the seahorses were only used to serve the purpose of entertainment, as a game and competition." Did he see the issue with that? They were thrown around just for the fun of it. At least with a potion, they served some good use.

Evil. ALL EVIL. All of them.

Okay.

... Did James care?

No. Moving on.

Kitty interrupted to raise her hand and ask a question to the Professor. "What are we going to do to them after we pull them out?"

"Depends on how many are caught," because in all honesty, James doubted they'd catch any more than four total as an entire class. "Some may be relocated to other lakes in the area," he nodded slowly. "And we may also give a few to your Potions Professor." It all just depended, really.

*******

James was too busy addressing some of the questions to notice that some students hadn't followed instructions. Fortunately for them, he had been distracted. Otherwise, it would've been a ban from the activity all together. James didn't mess around. Again he walked towards the center, raising his voice to get everyone's attention. "Alright, now that you've all had some practice with the charm, it's time to get started. After I'm done giving instructions, everyone can go grab one of those large jars off the table." He nodded to where he had been standing before the lesson had officially started.

"You should fill your jar up with water first," they all knew the spell for that one, yes? "And then you can go ahead and find a spot to begin fishing with the seize and pull charm." And no one would fall in on his watch, got it? "This isn't easy, so do not be discouraged if you don't catch any. If you have more luck, stop after you have caught two." They were putting a limit here, got it? "You'll have the rest of class for this."

OOC: Hi! Thanks for sticking with me! Just a few last things before you get started on the activity!

+ This should take 5 labeled posts to complete
+ Make sure to include: Grabbing the jars, filling the jars with water, at least 2 attempts at using the charm, and any outcomes of it's use.
+ Be creative! Your charrie doesn't have to be entirely successful! They might find things like a string of seaweed or a lone sock
+ You will have until Tuesday at 1pm EST to complete this task! I may extend the time if it's needed.

+ IMPORTANT: I won't be around as much tomorrow, so if we could keep from having any students drowning in the lake that would be incredible. James would be making sure that no one stands too close to the edge.
+ If you have any questions or need me to clarify please shoot me a VM or a PM and I'll be glad to help!

Additionally: It's not too late to finish the mini-activity, you still have the opportunity to catch up with it until I bring the main-activity to an end!
