This time of year was not her favorite and she was going into her usual mood, though she was trying super hard this term not to fall into it.

"Hello professor" her voice was quieter than usual when addressing him. Though she wasn't shying away either. Her eyes looked around, first one here? That was interesting. "What do you have planned for us?" Finding a seat on the mat, she hoped there was a warming charm on it, if not maybe she'd add one. The ground had to be cold.

He didn't need to wait for long until the first student came. Ah, the Head Girl. Jordan calmly responded her greetings without bringing up what'd happened to the barn back several days ago. Although he understood why she had to do that but still, it's unforgivable to do that in HIS barn because they would disturb the peaceful living of the creature's there. "Head Girl Franks-Mundie. Glad to see you joining this class today." He returned the greeting.

And don't worry about the mat. He had cast special warming charm so their bums wouldn't get cold.

Whatever they would be doing, she knew it would be fun.

Spotting her fellow seventh year, Janelle greeted her with a wave. "Hello Natalia", she said before finding a spot by an empty mat. She sat down, readied her things and began to look around for clues to the topic of the day. Waiting patiently was never her strong suit.

He took a moment to take a sip of his coffee again while another student was coming in. Ah, a happy Ravenclaw. "Hello, Miss Guidry." Jordan nodded at the dark-haired girl.

Olivia had always been fond of creatures (both muggle and magical) so this class naturally peaked her interest (or so she hoped it would). She made her way to the backyard where class was planned to be held and felt relieved when she saw a few students already here as well as the Professor. Great. She was in the right place! "Hello Professor Hernandez!" she said with an excited smile before nodding towards the other students. She wondered what they were going to be doing today!

"Hello to you too, Miss Holden." The Professor smiled at the Gryffindor girl. What a very excited student. He hoped that she would enjoy the class today. Well, not only her but also the other students. Care of Magical Creatures was supposed to be a fun class, wasn't it?

Aaaaaaaaaaaand he sat down with a loud thump near the person who had the same nickname as his brother: Ollie. "Yo."

Jordan tried not to snort when Matthew Meriwether came in. This boy seriously had some.... swag or something like that. Sometimes he didn't understand the teenage language. Merlin, he felt so old. "Good day, Mr. Meriwether."

She just didn't really understand why they had to do the practical parts of the class as well. It wasn't like she was ever going to become a dragon wrangler, or breed Krups, or whatever other weird jobs these people would do- a theoretical knowledge was more than enough for potion-making or whatever she was interested in. Yet here she was, sat on a scratchy mat on the cold and rather damp ground, waiting to be harassed by some other horrible slobbery animal.

But because she was such a good student (really, the professors must love her) she still made her way to a mat as near the blackboard as possible and attached a fresh sheet of parchment to her clipboard, ready for note-taking. That much, she could manage.

"Good to see you joining us, Miss Dance." He greeted in his not-so sarcastic tone to the young Slytherin. Clearly, some young kids nowadays was too distracted by their minds so they forgot to say hello to the Professor. Jordan was not a mind reader so he had no idea what made Sinead just walked in without the greeting or maybe even notice him. Which is, a good thing.

But her mum said she HAD to go to this class, no matter what. It was "mandatory" or whatever. So, Natalie went, even though she didn't want to. She came outside with her bookbag and went to find the class. When she arrived she spotted one of the girls she shared a dorm with.

"Hi, Sinead," she said to her fellow Slytherin before sitting down on the mat beside her. Hopefully she wouldn't mind the company.

And speaking of distracted student, another one just came in. "Good day, Miss McKinley. It's good to see you attending this lesson." Hopefully she didn't being forced to be in here. Care of Magical Creatures was an elective class, so she had right to drop the lesson if she didn't feel fancy about it. Plus, it's not mandatory yet for the first year students. Hence why Jordan always mentioned 'for the students who have interested to learn about creatures' because it's useless to teach those groups who has no interest.

#Notsorry.

With an extra skip in her step, the wild child made her way down to the barn. "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Professor!" she sung as she gave the man an ENTHUSIASTIC WAVE."It's a GREAT day to learn about unicorns," she gave him an encouraging sort of nudge with her elbow. WINK WINK, NUDGE NUDGE. GET IT? let'slearnaboutunicornstodayPLEASE.

....... Zoryn was allowed to do that....... right?

Ahem.

"Also, how come we never have desks?" It was a reoccurring theme at this school. "Are they illegal at Hogwarts?" Just saying.

Also WHERE TO SIT??????????

There were too many choices. It was doing her head in.

It's great day to learn about unicorns.

Ah, poor girl who get her hopes high. Too bad that Jordan had to break it today. "Miss Spinnet. Clearly it's a beautiful day. But I think we will learn about unicorns sometime later but not today." Sorry, kiddo.

And he didn't want to comment why he provided desks for today.

All ready for today’s lesson, the fourth year made her way down the grounds to where they usually met up in the backyard. Sure enough, the professor and a double handful of students were already gathered there. “Hello Professor,” she greeted Hernandez with a polite smile as she came close to the group. The Ravenclaw taking in those already gathered as she debated where to set up. Janelle seemed to be the only fellow housemate surrounded by Gryffindors and Slytherins including the girl from DADA so she made her way over towards the older girl.

“Hey,” she greeted with a friendly smile as she lowered herself down on the mat. The younger girl then taking out some parchment and locking it in the clipboard near her to be ready for the class to begin.

Taking another sip of his coffee, Jordan saw another Ravenclaw student coming in. Ah, as a former Ravenclaw, he was very amused to see them in his class. Not that he's biased though. But still #RavenclawPride was still in his heart and soul. "Good to see you today, Miss McNally."

"Hello Professor, How are you today? " The 7th year asked as he walked into class and sat down on a mat and looked down at the clipboard..

Hmm, he wondered what they would be studying this class..

Taking another sip of his coffee again, Jordan watched the students came (and not go yet) to his lesson. This time, he caught another Ravenclaw coming and he nodded as Leon greeted him politely. "I'm doing great, Mr. Kennedy. Thank you for asking."

The first year made his way to class excitedly. Mats and clipboads, okay that was different.

Maxton found a mat by himself, sat down cross-legged and waited patiently.

Watching another student coming in without saying a proper greeting, Jordan just realized that most of them are the Slytherin firsties. Really, there's something between them. But who cared? At least this one had some excitement. "Hello, Mr. Carden." Jordan said hello to the young snake.

What were they going to do today? Looking around her to spot some animals she was disappointed to see that there were no magical creatures around… Hmm, so she needed to wait and… Let’s say that waiting wasn’t exactly something she was good at, waiting and, of course, being patient…

Taking a peek at his wristwatch, he decided to wait ten more minutes until he could start the class. This time, Jordan saw another Slytherin came in. "Miss Griffel. Good to see you in class today." Nod nod.

"Hello Professor Hernandez," she greeted the professor cheerfully. "How are you? I can't wait to see what we're studying today."

She moved to sit down on one of the mats, going into a yoga pose as she did so.

He managed a small smile when the Ravenclaw prefect came. "Hello Prefect Valentine. I'm feeling good, thank you for asking. And I hope you're going to enjoy this lesson."

So this was how Professors got through teaching their classes and coping with the students.

Sneaky coffee cups of firewhiskey...

It was a good plan, really it was. If the air didn't smell so much of...coffee. Ah. Coffee. Rooney wanted coffee.

Oh, what a coincidence that two Ravenclaw prefects coming at the similar time. Jordan couldn't help but blink when Rooney took a sniff of his drink. "Prefect Bronwyn, I'm just taking a cup of coffee before the class." Maybe he thought that he was drinking something else like... scotch? Hard liquor? Well, it's too early for that.

MUCH faster and more efficient than his legs - which really need to be LONGER so he could take longer strides.

Leg lengthening potion...THAT was what he needed!

He really needed to start writing down all his brilliant ideas...because he kept forgetting them. It was hard to fit so much in his still developing brain, okay?

"GOOD MORNING, PROFES-S-SSOR!" Derf greeted with his usual enthusiastic wave. "Don't suppos-s-se fere is-s any chance of us-s-s working with dragon eggs-s today...is-s fere?"

Curious minds needed to know these things....for reasons...

But given there was no indication of dragon eggs anywhere in sight - unless the professor was using a Disillusionment Charm to hide everything...which was a cheap trick in the first year's book - he was going to assume no. Still, never hurt to ask.

Maybe he should finish his coffee because he's about to start the lesson. But then, an excited Hufflepuff coming in and his inner though already said Brace yourself, Christopher Jordan Lee Hernandez.

He didn't know if Derfael was originally hyper or because he consumed too much sugary cereal for his breakfast. With his calm, manageable tone, he returned the boy's greeting. "Good morning, Mr. Ashbury-Hawthorne." And dragon eggs? Not today, kiddo.

She headed on over to the mats and found one to sit on "Hey Nat. Mind if I sit with you here?" Since she didn't get to sit beside Nat in Arithmancy. She would sit with her in this class.

The blonde snorted at the young Gryffindor girl (Zoryn) and her silly questions. "Yes. desk were outlawed years ago." She replied with a chuckle. Clearly Kat was hanging out with too many Slytherins these days.

And another Hufflepuff coming in. "Hello, Miss Delgado. It's good to see you today." Jordan tried not to crack a laugh when the Hufflepuff girl answered Miss Spinnet's question about lack of the desks. What a feisty badger.

He nonetheless nodded a greeting to the professor before plopping down... on a mat... like a small primary school child... about to take a nap.

His inner sarcastic voice was just screaming "funnnn" at him.

And now there was another silencio first-year Slytherin.

Oh, maybe it's just a trend of the newly-sorted Snakes. "Mr. Ryker. I hope everything is okay." That's all he needed to say.

Unless the creatures were scary, then not so much.

"Hello Professor Hernandez!" Carlton gave him a wave as he plopped down on one of the mats. His eyes searched around them for any scary creatures lurking. When he found none, he relaxed slightly. "Exciting. Creatures."He murmured to himself as he got comfy on the mat.

Oh well, at least this boy was quite breaking the silencio students.

"Hello, Mr. Lewis." He nodded at the young boy. Okay, maybe he needed to wait for a little bit until he could start the lesson.

There'd been more nightmares the night before, but that was neither here or there. She were here and ready to participate. That's all that mattered...

Taking a seat, next to Carlton, she smiled towards the professor and his cup of coffee. Coffee.... Man, the Gryffindor could really go for some tea. "Hello." It was a general greeting.

"Miss Phillips. You're coming at the right time." Jordan said to the Gryffindor girl. By the time she arrived, Jordan took a look at his watch and it's time to start the lesson. Finishing his coffee, then he started the lesson by greeting them all.

"Good morning, students. And welcome to another care of magical creatures' lesson. " He said. "Okay, so you guys have to understand that in magizoology, sometimes we also need to deal with sick creatures and how to make them become healthy again. And that's what am I going to teach you today." Yup, a basic creature healing.

"But before we started, I would like to ask you this. When you were sick, what would you do in order to make you feel better?" This was not a difficult question, was it?



OOC: Class has started, and please don't announce that your character is late or I am going to take points as the IC consequences. The class will be continued in 20-26 hours

Usually Carlton sat by himself. A friendly wave here and there but usually he was on his own in class. So he was surprised but over the moon when Liv joined him. Yes, he was so happy. So, so happy. He shone up when Liv sat next to him and flashed her a wide smile. Did everyone see that? Did EVERYONE see that? An older student chose to sit next to him.

And not just any older student. Liv had saved him (and his fire babies) in the last Herbology class. He depended on her very much. "Hi!" Carlton gave her a loving look before turning his attention back to the professor. Class was starting!



Carlton hesitated. When he was sick it usually involved remedies such as hot chocolate and movies. But he doubted that was something Professor Hernandez did with the magical creatures housed at Hogwarts. Or maybe he did. Carlton didn't know the man.

So he raised his hand. "I like chocolate." He said nodding. Noticing the expressions around him he clarified; "When I'm sick. When I'm sick, I like to drink hot chocolate and watch movies in bed. That makes me feel a lot better. But I don't know which magical creatures that would work on, Sir..."

He wondered if it would though? In his heart, he hoped there was a magical creature out there somewhere in the world that felt a little bit better with hot chocolate. That would be cute.

"I would like it to work for them too." He added, imagining one of the creatures he'd read about in the textbooks sipping a hot drink and watching Star Wars.

CUTE.

The blonde Gryffindor was so ready for this. Healing creatures was the main reason she wants to study Magizoology when she went to university. She was practically bouncing in her spot, next to Nat of course. She was already writing down some answers for the professor's question but would just give one out. No need to be a know it all anywhere; they were frowned upon. "I'd take a potion and get lots of rest. Also drink lots of fluids," Tim nodded her head a bit. At least that was her way of getting better. Her friends and mum would drag her to a healer against her will. Tim had wanted to be one before settling on being a magizoologist, but she hated going to them when sick. Irony.

Ooh. Hattie liked this question. Not that she liked being sick but she knew the answer. "Well I go to my mom. She's a healer" So Vannie often knew what to do to make her better. It was quite handy having a mother as a healer really. But there were other things she liked doing when she was ill. "But I also like getting cuddles from my dad, and eating cheese and potato pie" That was proper food to eat when she didn't feel very well. But now she was feeling like she was missing her dad, which she did not like at all. She made a mental note to write to him later today. Maybe he'd come to Hogsmeade to see her. She would really like that.

Junia didn't get sick often, but when she did, well, she was a biiiig baby about it. It wasn't that she didn't want to be strong and tough, but her throat would start to get scratchy and her body would ache and she wouldn't get much sleep-being sick was so hard! Luckily, she had a mum and dad who took excellent care of her.

"Potions and tea and lots of rest, Professor." The third year nodded solemnly. "Company helps too, I think. Just having someone there to help take your mind off being sick." ...And to cater to your needs. That as well.

When Cassie asked Janelle what creature they might be working with, the older girl paused for a moment. "Hmmm. That's a good question. I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm sure we'll be up to the task." She gave her housemate a wink. Of course they would. Cassie's question made Janelle think. There were so many creatures that she had enjoyed working with so far.......the hippogriffs, the winged horses and of course the crups.

Just then, Professor Hernandez began to speak. It was time for class to begin.....at last. Janelle did not have to wait long to find out what was in store for the class. Creature healing. Janelle was all ears and very excited about the topic of the day. When the first question was posed, she didn't have to think about an answer. Raising her hand, she began to speak. "In my house, it was always chicken soup and ginger ale. That was sure to make you feel better." That and mom's TLC, never failed.

She kind of had the impression that this wasn't Natalie's favourite class, either- which made two of them. Something to bond over, at least. Maybe this was the level she would have to make friends on; just touring the castle at random didn't really seem to have yielded her a lifelong bestie, yet.

... Although come to think of it, that had probably been what she was doing the first time she had a proper conversation with Natalie. Hm. Maybe it wasn't such a bad strategy.

She'd had a few lessons with Zoryn and despite never having talked to her, she knew enough to realise that the girl was seriously annoying. However, she did have a point there- they could really use a few more tables in this school. All the teachers were just too progressive for their own goods. Though... to be fair, maybe they had an excuse in Care of Magical Creatures.

With a quick glance around to see if the lesson seemed to be getting underway yet, Sinead leaned towards Natalie again.
"Do you know what we're studying today? I hope it's not too... messy." She could do without that right now, really.

Natalie smiled when the other girl made room for her. She was glad she didn't seem to mind her company. The young slytherin tucked a wavy lock of hair behind her ear. "I dunno, but I hope so too." She didn't want to get dirty, especially since she still had more classes today and she didn't want to show up to them with... creature goo or something on them.

She looked around to see if she could see anything that the professor had brought to class, but her eyes stopped on the familiar boy that had accidentally smacked her in the face with his backpack. Carlton, that was his name. Natalie tried to make eye contact with him and then gave him a little finger-wiggle wave.

"Good morning, students. And welcome to another care of magical creatures' lesson. " He said.

"But before we started, I would like to ask you this. When you were sick, what would you do in order to make you feel better?" This was not a difficult question, was it?

Oh, good, class was starting. Better to just get it over with. And maybe her mum wouldn't make her take this class again next year. Natalie crossed her legs and fixed her skirt so her legs were covered. The question was an easy one, so Natalie raised her hand.

"My mum always makes this special tea for me and it makes me feel better." There was probably medicine in it or something, but Natalie didn't care. It always helped, especially when her tummy hurt.

NO UNICORNS?

Zoryn's face FELL (to the ground) (well it would have if it could have) (she was disappointed though). (#dramaticlion). AND he didn't even answer her question about the desks. Which Zoryn thought wasn't very nice. Professor Hernandez was a meanie-face. It was officially official.

Some others did answer her question that Professor Meanie-Face had ignored. Though... Zoryn wasn't sure if she liked the answers at all. Everyone was being especially sassy today. So this boy earned himself a stuck out tongue.

HA!

That'd definitely show him.

"Liiiiiiaaaaaaarrr," the first year crossed her arms and plopped herself onto a mat nearby. She wasn't exactly upset, she was just a tad deflated. But once they started playing with the unicorns even though she knew the Professor said there wouldn't be unicorns she'd be PUMPED once again.



......................... Sick creatures?

Could sick creatures still run around and play? Zoryn wanted to ask, but then she remembered that this Professor ignored questions. So she didn't.

"Skip school!!" It was the BEST part about being sick because everything else wasn't so fun. But getting to skip school, that was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! Made her feel better in no time, tbh.

"'m always in a good mood, mate." Matt grinned at Olivia before turning his attention back to the professor whooooo was just starting the lesson.

A question that didn't really involve theory and stuff! The gryffindor shot his hand UP! "I eat LOOOOOOOOOADS." Boom! "It gives me the energy I need!" He said, fist pumping with both fists.

ENERGYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Learning to care for sick creatures? Well that was something Skylar had seen enough of at home that today's class should be a breeze! Though she did wonder why the creatures at Hogwarts were sick? Did the professor make them sick for the purpose of the lesson or was there something else wrong?

As for what she did at home to feel better; lots of things helped. Hot tea, which was already mentioned. She cringed at the first year from the apothecary when she said 'skip school'. Seriously?

"Rest. And take a hot shower or bath. Being clean always helps to increase my well being." Sky said, sort of surprised no one had suggested that yet.

Leon tilted his head a little bit as the Professor spoke, listening intently. Creature healing? That sounded pretty fun and he was curious as to how it compared to people healing. Seeing as his step-father was a healer.

A small smile tugged at the corner of Leon's lips at the Professors question, and he listened to some of the other answers that were being given. Tea, rest, chocolate? Well that wasn't even remotely good for a cold! In fact it could very possibly make it worse. And eating tons? The older boy just had to shake his head..

Leon raised his hand to answer the question.

"We had sort of a tradition in my house when I got sick, My mom and step dad would come into my room and camp out on my floor, we would watch movies and play quiet games and my step father would read to me. There were potions and tea and clear soups as well, but it was being with them and snuggling my cat that helped me feel better. " He said with a warm smile.

Sinead looked up at Professor Hernandez with wide eyes as he addressed her. Something sounded a little weird in his tone, but maybe he was just tired or something. That's why adults drank coffee, right?
"Good morning, Professor; thank you," she said sincerely, settling herself on the mat- and okay, it wasn't really cold at all. Must be charmed.

It was still a little itchy, though.

Sinead nodded fervently at Natalie's words and opened her mouth to reply again, but before she got the chance Professor Hernandez began the lesson and she sat upright again, quill poised over the parchment and forehead creased in intense concentration. At least it sounded like they'd be learning something useful today. Actually, it could be a pretty good lesson. As long as somebody else held the creature still while she healed it. Natalie was even smaller than her and seemed no less keen, but... well, they'd figure something out.

The Professor's question was a little offbeat, but she was sure he was going somewhere with it and she was never about to pass up a chance to put her hand up in class.
"There's this... kind of minty oil which stops my nose getting blocked, and I go to bed early." Because her mum always made her, but it did make her feel better, much as she hated to admit it. "And I like to sit and read. With my cat." That was a recent addition, but an important one- she'd had a fierce cold at the start of term and he had kept her good company in the Common Room. Actually, cats were about the only acceptable magical creature, as far as she could see. "Professor, can we heal humans with what we learn to heal creatures?"

Henry had recently been thinking more about Magizoology as something he might study after Hogwarts. It was important to think about those sorts of things, he thought, now that he was a fifth year and had to take OWLs and had to decide what classes he would continue at NEWT level. Of course, he had every intention on being an amazing professional Quidditch player, but it was probably important to continue his education too.

So when Professor Hernandez mentioned the term Magizoology, the fifteen year old sat up a little straighter on his mat and thought about the question. He knew things that made him feel better when he was sick, but did they do the same things for creatures also? He wasn't sure. He also never knew Chewbacca to be sick, but maybe illnesses were subtle or infrequent in kneazles. Anyway.

He raised his hand, intending on giving an answer, but slowly lowered it as he heard the contributions of his classmates. Extra rest and juice, plus some potions would have been his answer... and maybe some TV in bed if he had been at home. But as those and more had already been said, he didn't feel the need to repeat anything. What else could really be said?

"Sleep, Professor." It wasn't a lie. Rooney Bronwyn was well known for sleeping if he ever felt like he was coming down with anything. "And eat fruit when I'm awake." He had to keep his energy levels up and get as many good things into him as possible. But usually his sister wrote home as soon as he even got the slight hint of a sniffle and his mother had all sorts of things sent over to help him get over it. And then he'd just sleep....but only if his homework was done and he had nothing better to do.

Maybe he wasn't actually known for sleeping when ill. Huh.

Jonas sighed and eyed that one first year gryffendor. The cringe, it burns...but he focoused on teh lesson at hand instead of lashing out at her like he knew he would shortly if she kept up the way she was acting.
"I'd drink lots of orange juice" he said.

Thinking back about home and when she herself had been sick the last time she remembered what her mum always did for her and she smiled. “My mom always put me to bed and makes me warm soup to eat and ehm… She also brings me to the doctor if I’m really sick and not getting better quick” she told the professor while nodding to herself. She wasn’t sick that often but when she had gotten sick her mom always did the same thing…

Creatures, please. Why did they have to talk about the silly non-medical ways that people and their idiot parents treated illness? Why weren't there CREATURES to deal with? Katy grumped a bit at the professor in general, but she didn't want him to think she was a bad sport.

She was, but she didn't want him to know.

"Professor, we use Potions in my house. Food and drinks and hugs don't make you well. Potions do." She paused. "But I also like toast with honey and peppermint tea."

Kane was SO EXCITED for this class - but also a little terrified. Because according to that Newt Scamander's book, there were some TERRIFYING creatures here in England. Hopefully they'd be eased into the creatures, though...and wouldn't be thrown at like, a dragon or anything right away.

He raised his hand. "If I were sick I'd probably drink some orange juice. Vitamin C and all that stuff," he explained.

Colt was literally raising his eyebrows at the Professor. So the topic of the lesson was basically taking care of sick animals? What could possibly go wrong besides getting diseases of course. He figured he might give it a shot, can't be that bad when the time he visited his cousin Kace's farm and had to take care of the pigs. He thought of ideas of what would he would do to make himself feel better. Well if he could get out of his bed, he would make himself soup. He heard the younger guys saying about eating and such. He wasn't gonna repeat that. He shrugged and muttered, "You obviously you sleep a lot to fight off what's inside you.." There lots and lots of sleep. That is what this slytherin does. In his nice squishy bed that is.

In fact he wished he was in it right now....

Ooh, this sounded interesting. Were they going to be caring for sick animals?

She raised her hand when it was her turn. "Personally I eat as many fruits as possible when I'm sick. Generally the only sickness I ever catch is a cold, so resting, drinking water, and eating fruits are what I do. If it hardens my throat too much, then I go to the Hospital Wing for relief - but usually I don't have to do that."

Kitty pictured herself feeding a sick, adorable Niffler some pears.

What would he do? Well...that one girl's answer - the bread roll Slytherin from the food fight in Defense Against the Dark Arts- with potions was pretty accurate...although mum preferred to drown him in herbal teas. Dad had to put his foot down more often than not to give him potions when he had caught something REALLY bad...like the time he had gone into the pond after midnight when he was really REALLY little because he was trying to catch the elusive large round white rock that only seemed to make its appearance on the pond once a month.

Which then turned into a little mini lesson on the moon and its phases. Could hardly blame him for not knowing. He had only been three.

But then his thoughts wandered to OTHER things...like chicken soup...which he personally did not eat because animal meat...but chickens...chickens...CHICKENS! He had it all figured out.

Now...where were the toads? They were totally going to be using chicken eggs and toads today. He had it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall figured out and was now bouncing eagerly on his mat.

And totally forgot to answer the question.

Oh wow look the head boy decided to make a class. Nat shot him a glare as he found his seat. She sat quietly as the rest of the class got there as well. Her mat was warm and so was her coffee so she was a happy seventh year.


Turning as the professor started class she frowned a bit thinking that there could be and most likely would be a sick creature they'd be taking care of in the lesson. She hoped it wasn't the horses. Especially Apollo, she'd be really upset if he was sick. When he asked about what they got when they were sick some of the answers made her do a double take? Hot Chocolate? Was that actually good for the stomach when upset? If it was she was going to put that on her list of trying the next time.

So many answers that Nat happily stuck with drinking her coffee and stayed quiet.

Brent had a question. A serious question. What was UP with this school and its lack of desks? Literally every single class had a pillow or mat to sit on, and Brent just wanted a desk. He glanced around in disbelief. Literally. Every. Single. Class. Duuuuuude.

He had just opened his mouth to greet the professor, when the lesson got good and underway. What did he do when he was sick. He looked over at Katy and nodded. "I agree with her," he said, raising his hand. "There's a potion for almost every sickness you can get, and I know we borrow some of the ingredients for those potions from creatures." Also, Kane? Why such a Muggle response? You know you took those potions, too!

Brent adjusted his position and got comfortable on his mat. If he wasn't going to get a desk, he was at least going to make the most of his mat.

"I just continue sleeping and keep myself warm after taking the potion when I'm sick. Sometimes I watch some-" James quickly shut his mouth, yup no need to tell anyone about 'that'. Ahem. "...uh funny shows if I get too bored." Yeah, lets go with that, internally smirking. Okay, so what was this question related to anything about studying creatures. Brent did give a good answer,though.

There were a lot of ways that Juno helped herself to get over a sickness. Usually it was with a potion, but she also would sleep a lot too. She quietly raised her hand, and when she was called on commented, "Well, Professor, usually I just take a pepper-up potion. They help loads. But if that doesn't help, I sleep a lot, drink a lot of water and orange juice, and eat soup." Yep, that was basically what she did. Juno rarely got sick, but when she does it's usually a really bad cold or flu. She hadn't ever needed to go to healers because her mother was proficient in healing magic.
