| | CoMC, Transfiguration, DADA Joint Lesson: Karpe Diem Image made by the lovey kita (hermionesclone)
What better way to celebrate a nice April day than to head over to the grounds for a lesson?! Though this lesson will be a joint effort with Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts, you still make your way to the large, grassy area near the barn as if you were attending just another Care of Magical Creatures Lesson.
Your Professors have set up the usual benches and encourage you to take a seat before the lesson begins. As you make your way towards a seat you pass Professor Hirsch, who is leaning cooly against a tree with his legs crossed at the ankles. His laid-back posture juxtaposes that of Professor Draper's stiff stance. Speaking of which, the Creatures Professor can be found standing furtherest away from the students by a large box (contents of which are covered by a large piece of fabric). And lastly, Professor Ichihara can be found standing between the two other Professors with her arms loosely crossed over her chest, waiting for the lesson to begin.
Best take a seat! This is bound to be one exciting lesson. OOC: Please make sure you're familiar with all CoMC, Transfiguration, and DADA rules as well as SS rules. Ariana will post in approximately 18 hours (Tuesday March 15 at 9am est) to start the lesson. Please get comfortable in the meantime, but try to keep excess chatter at a minimum. Class has officially started! You're still welcome to join in at any point, just make sure not to post late arrivals and pretend you've been here all along! Class Progression:
- Explaining muggle "Dragon Gate" myth + "Do you think a transformation of this caliber is possible through magic?"
- Answers + the Echinokarp + Transfig Theory + "What other creatures do we know that use this same defensive tactic to hide, protect themselves or hunt?"
- Answers + CoMC Theory + "What practical application do you think Echinokarps could provide in the magical world?"
- Answers + DADA Theory

There were more ducks to be transformed, so the tiny half-Japanese boy scurried off to another side, to try and dominate the pseudo beasts. Having the mission clear in his head, he was surprised to realize that casting spells wasn't too hard. Putting all of his intention out there, is probably one of his best traits that he could use to his advantage.
If only he'd be more confident with his magic, then all will go well.
"Reverto!" Grin.

| Annnnddddddddd That's All Folks! you wanna fite? | 💚 nickleback 💚 | Uh, anyway.
Chaos. Utter and total Chaos. Nana had rarely seen anything like it, and though she was the great champion of order and organization even she was filled with a thrill as the ducks and students went to war with one another. But, perhaps it was simply the thrill of a job well? Whatever the cause, Nana was a great fan of the symptom. She, like Hirsch, made herself busy wandering the outskirts of the battle in case of any injuries, fowl play (heh) or mishaps, but unlike many of her lessons this one went without a hitch.
Who knew working with Hirsch and James would yield such fine results? Certainly not Miss Nana Ichihara.
Alas. Nothing lasted forever and this lesson was no exception to the rule. Clearing her throat, Nana raised her wand and waved it across the make-shift battlefield. "Finite Incantatem." and each and every duck suddenly stilled, the life quite abruptly struck from them. "Well done, class; quite a show of energy and strategy. I applaud you all but only one team managed to revert the most ducks today and it is Ravenclaw! Ravenclaw, for your efforts your house will be rewarded with bonus points along with the points already amassed earlier in the lesson." She gave a small nod and grin to the winning team. "well done, well done." "Please take care to clean up after yourself, Mister McCleod prefers the grounds as clean as possible and rubber ducks do count as litter." With another wave of her wand the rubber ducks were shrunk back to their original, diminutive size. Completely harmless and completely adorable. "Please brings the ducks over and drop them into this bag" - She quickly conjured a large velvet bag. - "Before making your way back to the castle for your next lesson." This could all be done quickly and with magic, but it didn't hurt to have the students taking care of their own messes. "Any of you who would like to keep a duck may do so, they're completely and utterly harmless now." Or they should have been. "Class is officially dismissed!!!"
-----------------------------
"Tea, gentlemen?" Nana said, half turning to her colleagues. She thought they all rather deserved it. OOC: thank you all who participated in our lesson! We hope you enjoyed it and we certainly enjoyed having you! top by and see us another time! <3

| Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium In between her shuffling around to get away from the offending ducks and the spells whizzing past her Hady heard Nana call the lesson to an end. Lowering her wand to her side her attention was turned to her Professor.
Who had won?! Ravenclaw? Hady turned her eyes towards her little blue friends and gave them a smile. Nice work. Her own house had done a fine job she thought as well. An interesting lesson none the less this had been.
Using her wand and the simple banishing charm the snakette helped gather the surrounding normal sized rubber ducks into the bag. Well all except two. A small blue one and a small pink one. Those she was keeping. Eventually when her baby brother and sister were born she would give the duckies to them. It wouldn't be for awhile yet but oh well. A few minutes of helping to clean up and she was ready to grab her things and head back inside for her next lesson with a call over her shoulder, "Thanks for the lesson Professors!"
