And all the sudden after giving her most genius answer EVER, she was being yelled at. For no apparent reason, either. This kid just liked to be angry, it seemed. 'Cause he was the same meanie from before.

And what he said made the Gryffindor very, VERY mad. Which was very apparent given the scowl she wore on her face.

And before she knew it the boy got very close and Zoryn did the most mature thing she could think of...... And sunk her teeth into his shoulder.

Because taking a BITE out of someone's shoulder was definitely the proper way to handle this situation.

100 points to Zoryn Spinnet. Alright, moving on. Ahem. Nothing to see here folks. Just your normal everyday, rabid first year defending her honor. La la la la. Soooooo how bout them sick creatures though, amiright?

Whoa! Hey! Jonas jumped back and his eyes widened at her. Did she just bite him??? He blinked his eyes and pushed her.

Tenacius was pretty much all ears in this discussion because CREATURES, which is the second most constant activity in his life after FOOD, so when there was a voice that rang in the air sounding like it was snapping at someone it was natural for him to turn his head and take notice.

And what he saw was the Slytherin guy Jonas and his very own cubbie Zoryn doing their version of the Tyson-Holyfield match asfasdfsadfsadfasf!!!!

"ZORYN!" the Gryffindor Prefect leapt to his feet, rushing towards the pair, intending to keep the young Gryffindor from further harm. Is the Professor seeing this? He's hoping Nat and Colt will take care of their own lil Snake because him decking someone from his dad's old house would be a w k w a r d.

Harriet was carefully listening to everyone's answers as she tried to think of her own. She wanted to be lovely and unique. And she was going to answer, but then she could distracted by what was happening in front of her. A slytherin boy was suddenly shouting, and then getting bitten by a gryffindor girl. "Woaah..." The girl murmured, blinking as she looked at the pair. That was not good.

"Uh... Professor I think we have a problem here..." She murmured, since that Gryffindor prefect had rushed over, but hadn't exactly gotten the attention of the professor. This could turn nasty quickly, and that would not be good.

What was also not good was that she had forgotten her answer.

The seventh year raised her hand before answering, even if she hadn't thought up a complete answer just yet. Though some people had already given the answer she was thinking about, maybe she could add something else to it? Wow, Tim was off her game today. "When my dogs were sick, they sneezed a lot and had mucus. They also didn't eat much and laid in their beds for the most part of the day," Tim was little the last time they were sick that bad. Her parents kind of had to force feed them their medicine since they were as stubborn as her mother was. Just as she kept thinking of something else to add, there was more commotion than usual. The blonde looked over to a boy and a girl causing it and raised an eyebrow. She then saw the girl bite the boy's shoulder and couldn't help but snort. "Looks like we have our own little junior fight club here," She said, but not too loud for the group over there to hear her.

This discussion on sick animals was a strange one, but the Gryffindor supposed it was material that would always be relevant. Kinda like in the muggle world with human beings. There would always be a need for doctors and nurses, because people would always get sick, unfortunately. Sickness was just one of the unavoidable aspects of living. It was undoubtedly the same for magical creatures and mundane animals. Like her Gus. There wasn't anything magical about him...

"My ermine got a rash once, and couldn't stop rubbing himself around on the carpet to scratch at it. So.... I guess other animals could get irritated skin, too." Could that be tied in with hair loss? If an animals itched the hair and fur right off their own bodies....

....and Liv was rolling her eyes in a severe fashion; at everyone involved in that situation. She was here to distract from her own personal problems by learning something. Needless to say, it was a very different approach from this particular Gryffindor blonde; the master of disruptions and loud noises.

"Could you guys not?"

Well Jonas. Loooks like you created quite the stir up for your self huh? Well...shoot. Jonas backed off though some as some of the students got involved. Though, he was still fuming with annoyance, he didn't say anything though to make the situation better or worse which might make it ultimately worse. He just continued to glare between the Gryffindor whom had bitten him and the prefect who had been the first to try and break up the fight. He knew though that soon, Hernandez would get involved. Jonas would be surprised if he didn't get detention for this.

Seemed like the students already knew the sign and symptoms of sick creatures. So the next activity wouldn't be that difficult for them, right? Okay, now it's time to...

......

Jordan couldn't help but witnessed the fight between Spinnet and Emery. "For the love of Abraxans...." He muttered under his breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. Why there were SO MANY teenage dramas that he witnessed lately? First, the Head Boy vs Head Girl at the barn and now... happened to his OWN class. Thank Merlin.

"ENOUGH!" Jordan raised his voice and snapped to them. Hopefully none of his vein bursting because of this shenanigan. "I am not amused with both of your behavior. Now Mr. Emery," He turned into the Slytherin guy. "I don't know what in Abraxan's tail was wrong with you and Miss Spinnet. I recommend you next time to respect your fellow students and their answer or... just ignore them." Maybe it was a secret crush or something else. Jordan didn't speak teenagers language so he clearly had no idea about it.

"And Miss Spinnet..." Now he turned to the Gryffindor girl. "Biting is not allowed, at least in my class... Actually, any kind of physical brawls." He shook his head in disbelief. "Ten points from both of you. But next time if you two cause any mayhem and disturb my lesson, I am banning both of you for attending my lesson."

Okay, could they move on to the lesson now?

"Alright, so I think you guys can identify the sick creatures." Jordan started speaking about their lesson topic again. "Most of you get the answers right. The first sign is behavior changing: It can be they become lethargic and not as energetic as they used to be, and for some creatures, they tend to be a little bit more aggressive." Like some dogs who got infected by rabies, they tend to be more aggressive and wilder.

Moving on to the second one... "And the next sign is loss of appetite. Some of you mentioned about some creatures eating things that they were not supposed to eat, usually it's also the sign that they have a digestive problem, and then to throw up too. Physical changes could be a sign of sickness too, like loss of furs, discoloration, or there's pus or something else coming out from their ears or eyes. That could be signs of infection." Then he wrote the signs and symptoms of sick creatures to the board.

Quote:

Sign and Symptoms of Sick Creatures:
- Behavior changing (it could be tend to me more aggressive or even feel lazy/lethargic and not being active as they used to be)
- Digestive problem: throwing up, excessive pooping and urinating, eating things that they're not suppose to eat, farting
- Loss of Appetite
- Physical appearance changing: Discoloration, loss of fur, rash, etc
- Secretion of pus/mucus from their ear, eyes, or nose

"Today we are going to handle sick kneazles in the barn. I did not bring them out here, like I've said before, I would prefer to quarantine the sick creatures separately from the healthy ones." He announced to the students.

And no, he did NOT let these creatures sick. All of them were already in his recovery.

"Here are some supplies that we're going to need." Jordan said as he revealed some boxes contains of clean drapes, feeding bottle, kneazle tonic, special milk for kneazle, special liquid food for kneazle, small buckets, kneazle-size blanket and chew toys. "Everyone please grab the supplies from here. And then we're going to move our lesson to the barn." Jordan gave them the instruction. "But before you enter the barn, I recommend you guys to change your shoes into the boots, and wearing mask to cover your nose and mouth is also recommended. I have provided both of them at the front door of the barn." He told them.

"And also, please wash your hand before and after handling the creatures. You can do that at the tap water that located outside the barn." Hygiene is a must, right? "Now, let's go." The Professor then lead the way.



OOC: Main activity time! Basically your charrie only need to grab the supplies, follow Jordan to the barn, wash their hands, change into boots and wear the mask. One post is enough for this. We will explain the instruction for main activity in (hopefully) 24-26 hours, depends when will I get home from work tomorrow

If you guys have any question, feel free to poke me.

Great, another set of points taken from Slytherin. Wonderful! But the professor got what he asked for and rhat was peace as fear he wpuld recieve detention for this, Jonas didn't say anything theough the rest of the lesson as he grabbed the supplies that were needed and followed Professor Hernandez to the barn for the rest of the activity.

There wasn't anything very obvious to add to what everyone had already said for the next question; as all of her points were mentioned, Sinead dropped her hand. To be honest, her main first hand experience of sick animals was with her cat. And he'd just responded by biting her. A cat after her own heart; she never liked people buzzing around and irritating her either.

Then again... maybe he was less like her and more like Zoryn, based on when she launched herself across the room to bite somebody?! Sinead could hardly believe her eyes- okay, she might be kind of loud and annoying, but the same was true for about 90% of Gryffindors and they didn't feel a need to go around mauling people in lessons. While Sinead was trying to learn.

Her disgust at the fight only heightened when the Professor took away points- from Slytherin?! Okay, maybe he'd pushed back a tiny bit, but he hadn't bitten anybody! Actually, though, looking at him- hadn't he been late to their flying lesson as well? He was singlehandedly destroying the good name of their house! She glared daggers at Jonas as she stuck her hand into the air and loudly protested.
"But, Professor- he didn't start it! And she bit him! It's not fair to take points from Slytherin too!"

All the protests in the world probably wouldn't change any of that, though, so she had to settle for skulking over to the barn and preparing herself for the lesson. She wasn't exactly keen to put on the grimy boots, but it was better than getting her new school shoes dirty, so she tugged them on with a wrinkled nose and scrubbed her hands to within an inch of their lives, before masking up and making her way to the entrance of the barn.

Zoryn hardly understood why the boy was so surprised. She only locked her jaw harder when he gave her a shove, releasing shortly after when Tenacius came to her rescue. Uh oh. Was he gonna be mad?

Clinging to the older boy who had just rushed over, Zoryn gave him an innocent look (what, she was!!). ”It wasn’t my fault, I had to,” she whispered to her Prefect. ‘Cause the meanie Slytherin was yelling at her AND he leapt towards her AND Zoryn HAD to defend herself. Nod. Nod. Nod. It wasn’t fair that she looked like the bad guy here. Nuh uh.

Aaaaaaaaaand the boy was making mean faces at her, so Zoryn made mean faces back. HA!!!

Epitome of maturity over here.

……………….. Y’know, Zoryn was kind of hoping they could skip the part where the Professor walked over and got all mad and red in the face? Pleaaaaaaase? Because the biting was fun. Clinging to Tenacius was fun. This…. Not so fun.

HA. The first year wore a SUPER HUGE, PRIDEFUL SMILE as the Professor castigated the meanie-face. ‘Cause he deserved it. What she was not ready for, however, was getting yelled at too. Luckily, Zoryn didn’t really care about the loss of points (because otherwise she would’ve been bawling). Instead she shrugged.

It was worth it.

WAIT A MINUTE HERE. ”He did TOO!” Start it, that is. Because it was DEFINITELY his fault. She wasn’t planning on continuing the scene, but Sinead was throwing her under the bus and it was totally THE BOY’S fault.

Tenacius believed her, right?

Because this made doing all this work stuff a lot less fun. Though she did (reluctantly) get up to wash her hands. ”How come they’re sick?” Did the Professor forget to feed them? Did they ALWAYS have sick kneazles in the barn? It was a valid question, Zoryn thought.

Rooney rolled his eyes at the protest about points being lost. That was what happened when you were pains in the backside IN class. But he might have high fived the biting Gryffindor later in secret. Good defense mechanism. But still...could people just shut up and get on with their work? PLEASE? Getting to his feet, Rooney followed along behind Professor Hernandez to the barn area. He got on his boots and sat down on the floor to lace them up properly, still baffled by the points protest and even laughing about it to himself a little.

Luckily they were going to get to the creatures soon, which was his favourite part of this class. The actual interacting. Yesssss. Roo gave his hands a wash and THEN put on his mask, ready and rearing to go. READY READY READY.

Oh wait, hadn't he been grumpy mere moments ago? Pft whatever.

Harriet raised an eyebrow as she watched what was going on. To be honest Sinead was kind of wrong. The slytherin boy had kind of wound up and shouted at the gryffindor girl. So they had both been in the wrong. But Hattie was glad when the Professor moved on with the lesson. That was what they were here for, meaning it was important! And it was the creatures class so Hattie just wanted to get a good look and get closer to the creatures. She hoped they weren't too sick though. Because that would be sad. Though maybe they could make them better! That would be really good.

She followed the Professor to the barn, and once there changed into the boots. This was good, her shoes wouldn't get all dirty. That was important since she didn't want to be trailing muddy and animal stuff around the castle. Then she washed her hands, before putting mask on. Now she was all ready to go see the animals! Yay!

Jonas sighed. Did she have to point out the obvious? Jeez though, he was on a roll this year. First 5 points taken away in flying now 10 points in CoMC. What's next? Bring it on! But seriously though, he would apologize to the eleven year old later. He shouldn't have been so snippy towards her. Shrugging, he changed into the boots before going inside the barn.

Now this lesson was getting better and better. He smirked when he saw his fellow slytherin telling the little gryffindor Zoryn to shut up. That is something he would do. He chuckled to himself and then being the head boy he was he walked over to his fellow Slytherin and he saw Tenacius break it up. Good on you gryffindor. Being the brave one to act first. He saw Professor Hernandez break it up and scold them. He was going to but he figured the Professor did enough. He tapped Jonas shoulder and muttered quietly, "Good job on that one. I would have done the same thing but I know its hard just keep your thoughts in your head..." Believe me he knew. He wasn't lecturing him too much right? Just give him a warning/experience.

Now onto the lesson, he gave Jonas some time to cool off and he heard he needed to get some supplies. Looks like he was gonna have fun taking care of sick animals. He hoped they didn't have contagious diseases. He saw he needed to wear a mask and boots? He shrugged and kicked off his shoes and changed into the boots. He put the mask into his robes and was prepared to go into the barn.

Junia covered her mouth, stifling a giggle that she skillfully masked as a cough. The drama unfolding was waaaay more entertaining than the discussion they were currently having and of course, she was amused. She was even thankful, seeing as the little scene had moved along the discussion faster and gotten them to the fun part-the part where they actually got to interact with the creatures. She was definitely ready for that.

Supplies were taken and the third year changed into boots just outside of the barn, deciding that these particular boots were far more functional than fashionable. Oh well, she could deal. It was for sick kneazles, after all, and sick kneazles made her think of dead kneazles which made her think of Prince West. She was all smiles after that and as she washed her hands and then put her mask on, the thirteen year old made a mental note to write the wrock star a letter about this very lesson later in the week.

What... was happening??

That girl just BIT him? She was insane! How were they even the same age? All Natalie knew was that Gryffindors were crazy and she was never going to be friends with them. She also knew that she was going to hate this class today.

Not only did Natalie despise animals, she obviously would despise SICK animals. And now she had to go take care of them. Please. Why didn't the professor keep them healthy in the first place? Did they really have enough sick animals for the whole class to work on? Maybe someone should call animal control...

With a sigh, Natalie pushed herself off her mat, not bothering to join the argument about Slytherin losing points. She didn't want to get involved. So, she went up and got all the supplies she needed and changed into her boots outside the barn. Once she was all ready, Natalie washed her hands and waited inside the barn for further instruction.

Sick animals? Hmm, she wasn’t surprised to hear this after the question what had been asked but still she wondered if it would be a good idea to bring Vlam with her to those sick animals… Deciding to talk to the professor when she had followed him she started working and did everything she needed to do. Grabbing the supplies she carried everything she needed with her and while arriving she placed her rat on her shoulder so that she didn’t needed to touch the animal after washing her hands because she had a suspicion that the professor wouldn’t like that. Putting on her mask next she was done for the next part of the lesson so… She walked toward the professor, still with Vlam on her shoulder and spoke to the teacher. “Professor, I brought my rat accidently with me, he’s always sleeping inside of my pocket so I’ve totally forgotten that he was there while walking toward this lesson, I only realized that he was here when it was too late to go back... Can I leave him somewhere safe so that I don’t need to bring him with me to the sick animals?” She asked with a worried frown.

Carlton sat quietly next to Liv as he watched the drama unfold and the professor tell them off. He squirmed uncomfortably, glad he wasn't the one in trouble but also keen to break the tension between the students.

Hey, hey, hey remember the creatures? Yay, animals!

Carlton was grateful when they were getting up to move around. Maybe this would ease up the others. Because AWKWARD. He quickly got the necessary supplies and washed his hands, looking over his shoulder from time to time. No one would come bite him for taking too long, would they?

Outside the barn he changed his shoes and put on his mask. He was ready for some healing of creatures.

Ready. Set. Heal.

Etta barely listened to the professor's instructions as she watched all the drama that seemed to be happening. Drama and biting, too. That honestly made her smile. But ahem, she didn't want to get too distracted. Okay, back to class. They were apparently going to be handling sick kneazles? Aw. That's sad. But the idea of helping them get better cheered her up a little.

Grabbing the supplies that were necessary, she changed into her boots just outside of the barn and washed her handle before putting on the mask. All done. Now, they had to wait for the next set of instructions.

Jonas's lip twitched. At least someone thought he wasn't in the wrong. None the less though...
----
Once he was in the barn, he was quiet though as he waited for more instructuon.

Whoooooa.

Noelle furrowed her brows at Z, ready to defend her or just take her aside honestly, when she sank her teeth into the boy. Personally, she didn't blame her. Z was just excited about class, animals, and all of the above. The boy was the one that shouted at her. But still... points from Gryffindor were never a good thing.

Ace seemed to have it covered though. Z was hanging onto him like her life depended on it. Noelle went over to them once the professor started leading them to the barn. "Keep your head up Little Z." she whispered to Z, giving her a little shoulder touch before going and putting on the boots and mask.

The faucet wasn't hard to find and Noelle washed her hands before entering the building. She was curious though why the kneazles were sick like Z had asked.

Pen pal and weird girl doing what? Nat stayed in her seat but watched what was going on. This was just ridiculous behavior. She at least had reasons to attack the head boy and by reading his lips just now she might have more reason to attack him later. He was getting glares, oh yes he was.

HOW WAS HE HEAD BOY????


She just didn't understand it. Anyway she was over it. Points were lost and won all the time. He would just have to make it up by working a bit harder to earn more. Could they carry on now? She wanted to see which creatures were sick. She looked at Kat as the professor finished up his directions, "So sick Kneazles this could be interesting." She hoped they weren't horribly sick, but they would soon find out.

Getting up she made her way to get the supplies and then over to the barn she went. Slipping out of her shoes she pulled on the boots and then put the mask on. Using her wand she cleaned her hands up.

Ready for some animal care!

Awwwww sick Kneazles! At least it was something sort of cute and harmless, not like...sick fire breathing dragons or something. Kane still would have preferred taking care of sick Crups, but these would do for now.

And since Kane was definitely NOT about getting any other animals sick, he was going to take this cleaning thing seriously. First, he took off his high top sneakers and slipped on his boots. Then he washed his hands and gathered the supplies the professor had pointed out before taking one of those protective masks as well and tying it onto his face.

On to the sick kneazles!

THERE WAS A LOT HAPPENING!

Okay...so not A LOT a lot, but there was an older student lunging himself at Zoryn and then Zoryn was BITING him and then the Gryffindor prefect was rushing over...and then the professor was shouting and taking points (which he didn't agree with because Zoryn was clearly acting out of self defense AND Professor Hirsh had told him SPECIFICALLY that physical tactics were fair game when it came to defense! SO THERE WERE MIXED MESSAGES BEING SENT AND ALL WAS CONFUS----

OH THEY WERE GOING TO GET TO SEE THE CREATURES NOW! KNEAZLES!

Leaving his enchanted suitcase behind, Derf was admittedly curious as to how the professor would respond to the one Slytherin's question about her rat seeing as Scamander had a permanent residence in his own trouser pocket...but dad had set up proper incantations and considering the Hufflepuff was going to wash his hands thoroughly before touching his warty newt again...he wasn't all that concern. Nothing airborne was going to seep into his trouser pocket either...so he instead focused on catching up with Zoryn as they headed inside.

"Psssssssssst! Zoryn. I know a S-S-SUPER famous Gryffindor fat ALS-SO bites-s-s people," he squeaked excitedly in her ear. So, you know. She was in excellent company. "Alice Fischer of the Montros-se Magpies-s. Biting is-s-s kind of her s-s-signature move!" Because he still was not acknowledging the Odessa part of her name. Nope. But then ANOTHER thought crossed his mind and he lowered his voice CONSIDERABLY as he spoke. Because what ELSE had the urge to bite people? That answer was all too obvious. "Unles-s-s-ss you are a werewolf...fen what just happened it TOTALLY dis-s-scrimination!"

The first year just really REALLY wanted to meet a werewolf, okay? It was on his Hogwarts bucket list!

Making their way inside, Derf set the supplies he had grabbed earlier down proceeded to wash his hands ... all the while thinking about these kneazles. He then realized that he should have changed FIRST and THEN washed his hands once he stared slipping on his boots, so he would need to go back and do that all over once he had finished...but a thought distracted him. A VERY unsettling one at that.

"PROFESSOR!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide with SHOCK at his little revelation. "Why did you WAIT to get fese kneazles treatment? Is-s-n't that cruel? If fey are all sick and suffering...s-s-shouldn't getting them help come fast and from certified hands-s-s?" Because, well, for one Derf did not trust THAT Slytherin that had tackled Zoryn over an accurate answer with any sort of creature handling. Bloke clearly had some anger issues and a fussy fragile kneazle shouldn't have to suffer that.
