"Well, panicking is not a good thing," Williamson frowned at Kurumi. At least she knew it was bad, now, and had a better plan for action... or so it seemed. He found it mighty suspicious that SHE just HAPPENED to be at the scene of all these creature 'attacks' though... hmmm.... what was that saying about the perpetrator being present at the scene of the crime....?
Anyway. "Yes, so, your new strategy is much better." He forced himself to refocus back on the Gryffie prefect. "Wand in hand, ready, and WATCHING. Always keep your eyes open."
"I'm glad to hear that you don't panic around any sort of creature, Arya." Perfect. She could be his first volunteer for today's lesson, then. Heh. "Keep your head down and your attention to yourself, yes, good."
Wand ready? "Good answer," William flicked his brown eyes toward the Ravenclaw briefly."Let's not talk about spells just yet.... but yes, in the case of a blast-ended skrewt, if you have ANY chance of doing ANY damage to it at all, you HAVE to his the armor-less section of its stomach."
"Neither," William winked at the poor, nervous Puff. Hehehehe.
"Right, but I asked what you personally would do.... so would you fight or take flight?" He cocked an eyebrow at the boy.
"YES! Good!" William might have been just a little too enthusiastic in his response to that answer. "Do not attack unless a creature attacks you first. Write that down, everyone!"
"Daichi?" William swiveled his head toward the boy when a sound like a whimper came out of his mouth. "You all right there, bud?" If he could read minds, he would definitely say something was frightening the boy....already...
Aww, what a noble puff. "Yes, great point. Let's not give the creatures a REASON to attack by angering them, right guys?"
She ran for Oliver Jenkins, of all people? Really, Ella??? William let out a loud chortle before he was able to clap a hand over his mouth. It took him a few seconds before he regained and control and was able to nod seriously at her answer.
"Well, at least that... worked?" He shrugged. "You were able to get to the soft underbelly of the skrewt, anyway...." Something was nagging him in the back of his mind about why the skrewt was supposedly called away.... but he couldn't recall it anymore.....
"Perfectly said!" William smiled at the Hufflepuff's concise answer.
"Also well said," he nodded the next Puff. Short and succinct answers were always welcome in his classroom. Ahem.
Smiling to himself as the boy's mustache started to peel away from his face, Willy tilted his head at his answer. "Sureeeee......... you're welcome to always TRY that approach, but let's be honest here, Mr. Mustachio.... that's highly unlikely to work. Good luck though."
He wouldn't be responsible if the kid got his eyebrows singed off in the process of 'befriending' a skrewt anyway.
'We stand still?' William chuckled at that answer to himself but did nod anyway. "Yes, try that first to see if the creature just passes by you without doing anything." It couldn't hurt to give peace a chance, could it?
"Perfect way to put it, Mr. Greingoth!" William beamed over at the Hufflepuff. "You'd be surprised how many people forget that they OWN a BRAIN."
Like this one. "Er.... Laura," poor child, "I don't think the Muggle poolicemen are going to be of much help to you in this situation." He shook his head. "But huh, if you're considering a career in Magical Law Enforcement... well you sure do have the Auror-suspicious-thinking-style down pat...."
"That would be a good idea," he smirked at the way she acknowledged her sibling, "and it depends on how far away the Nundu IS, because you know, they are pretty quick creatures." Just sayin'.
It was just as William was about to ask his next question that he noticed something scurrying across the grass. He didn't think much of it, though, and just assumed that it was a harmless field mouse or something. So, time to move on!
"Okay, so you see the skrewt, and you THINK it sees you, so you whip out your wand and stand up in a defensive position." William jumped into place and flicked his wand holster on his left arm, which was where his wand ALWAYS was.
Only today... the wand wasn't there. "Huh," the man murmured to himself. "I could have SWORN I remembered to put that there this morning....."
No matter, he could carry on anyway. "Uh yeah, uhhhh, you all should stand up and do this with me." The professor nodded to himself and quickly snatched (what he thought was) a twig up off the ground, transferring it to his left hand, his wand hand. "So you're standing there, you've got your wand in your hand, you're facing the skrewt but remaining MOSTLY still, and NOW what do you do?"

Because he hopefully wasn't going to let them have a good look at it. No. He just wanted to lash itself onto that large tree in the distance.
...
Except fate got in the way, as the Bowtruckle felt itself being snatched into the air, it wriggled to get free and finally sunk its teeth into some juicy flesh. Take that, evil human. Quote:

It raised its pinchers in the air and shot a huge flame up in the air...
Vickers was taking down notes like the diligent Ravenclaw that he was, watching the Professor demonstrate the proper way to defend themselves... with a Bowtruckle.
Eh what?
He was usually the first to point out if something was amiss that the other person may not be aware of, but this time the boy was entranced with the sight of the Professor wielding a creature like a wand. He always wondered what would happen in situations like this, a once in a lifetime opportunity as it were. Would the bowtruckle get sick and make a mess? Or would its defensive nature kick in and....
Yup defensive nature kicked in right there. The Ravenclaw winced. Unless the Professor had skin of a crocodile, thats gotta hurt and scar badly if the creature got that bite in deep enough. Of course he's not entirely ruling out the crocodile option.
Something flashing at the corner of his vision got him to peel his eyes off the Professor and for a few seconds just STARED at what has got to be the ugliest creature he's ever set eyes on. Not that he would say that out loud.
Fire. Cant make heads or tails of the creature. Got to be the blast ended skrewt right?
And naturally the students started to panic. He got his wand at the ready, not just for the creatures but more so for any disaster that could come out of panicking people, which from his observations is most often the case. Is the Professor aware of this? His eyes slide between the Professor and the Skrewt. "Fire in the hole..." like literally.
