Once a parchment had landed in the hands of each kid, Professor Elwood stood up and waved her wand around the tree walls of the clearing and marked each tree with a sign that said what they were, also sending a tag to the three in the tins.
“Alright everyone, let’s go ahead and begin to collect your twenty pieces of wood, one from each of the tree types, and then return to the center of the clearing where we will start to carve our symbols.” And with that she released them to start working.
Dylan had been so busy writing things down that he'd missed most of the things his classmates had said. Ugh, this school stuff was difficult business. How one stayed on top of everything really baffled him. The Slytherin must have been missing some of the tricks of something...
That had to be what was going on.
Feeling something hit his hand, his blue eyes darted up, seeing a piece of parchment hovering there. Taking it, Dylan scanned it quickly. Of course what he seen had his eye narrowing...
WHY was he writing stuff down when there was a HAND OUT?!
Trying not to be too irritated, he tucked the now full parchments in his notebook and then in his bag before eyeing the Professor's handout again.
They were to collect a little of each one?
Well, that wasn't too difficult. That was something Dylan could definitely do.
Remembering his severing charm...
Diffindo...He set off to collect his sticks...But...first...
Stooping down to his bag, he dug around in the bottom until he felt the smaller bag that housed his extra guitar picks. Dumping them out, he stood. Obviously he'd need something to collect these pieces of wood in.
Obviously...
Anyway...
Naturally, the Slytherin was going to start with the three special woods Professor Elwood had already prepared for them. You know, because they were just sitting there...all ready and easy.
Making his way over to the labeled containers, he knelt down, noting the differences in the woods. These were plant-like, definitely. Had the Professor mentioned that? Dylan couldn't remember...Taking a few pieces of each for his bag, he stood...
SPOILER!!: Irate sticks!

The didn't have hard bark-like skin like the Bowtruckles, they were different and NOT supposed to be in these woods.
They had been known to come into the forest from time to time but there were a lot of them today and they were making lots of noise....
AND BREAKING THE TREES!!!
One Bowtruckle reached out and tried to scratch one girl (sweetpinkpixie) and his friend jumped out on the ground infront of another who was trying to attack his tree-home.
"Ra!! Raaa! Rit raaa!" The little guy jumped around and was poking his fingers in the air at the all the intruders.
Dylan was making his way towards a tree designated as...Alder, wand raised and bag in hand...when something strange jumped out...
Whaa...*blinking*
"Er...Professor....?" Where they suppose to...um...
take care of the creatures?

The girl started the lesson practically mute and now she was trying to lead it? "Honestly, on what authority do you have the right to instruct MY students to stop what I've told them to--."
O_____O
"What in Merlin's beard are those things doing here?!" Callie took a step back from the nearest Bowtruckle that had landed near Kurumi and another young student. Gahhhh why did things like this have to happen during her lesson. The nearest kid to her was Vickers and she quickly and subtley took another step behind him and then spoke to the class, as they began to chirp up about wood lice and fairy egss.
"My appologies, Prefect Hollingberry, I didn't know you were warning us of danger but I don't have either of those things with me. I didn't expect us to be attacked by sticks." Which was ironic since that was basically the topic of the day's lesson.
What were they going to do?! She didn't know what spells, if any, to cast on the creatures and she certainly couldn't have kids getting hurt. She looked around and then pointed at those who had spoken up. "Sarah, Kurumi, and...you!" she said jabbing a finger in the air at the Ravenclaw Prefect (Spike). "You all fan out and help the other students search for woodlice and fairy eggs while I call for help. Everyone do NOT go near the Bowtruckles and stopp collecting sticks. We can continue once the situation is under control." The Groundskeeper and Care of Magical Creatures Professors would do nicely, seeing as they sent her in here without any warning.
She pulled out her wand and swished it through the air sending two pure white and wispy artic foxes into the direction of the Castle and Grounds. Now back to focussing all her energy on hiding watching out for the kids and Bowtruckles.
But after the other students had already called her attention to the situation there was one student who was still shouting most unecessarily. "Miss Potter! Please stop shouting, I've already been notified of the situation and you continuing to raise your voice is only going to make the creatures even more uneasy. Ten points for putting yourself and the rest of the class in possible danger." She said to the Hufflepuff, a tad exhasperated for having to deal with taking points amidst a crisis such as this.
"Please help your classmates search for the lice and eggs to placate the things." She added after a few steadying breaths.
First, Kurumi was telling them to freeze...and upon hearing her request, Dylan offered her a very nasty glare.
Really, Gryffindor Prefect? Are YOU a Professor? *glare, glare, glare*
But then the Professor's voice reached his ears...They were getting attacked by...STICKS?
Are. You. Kidding. Me?
Not understanding how they were in such a completely stupid situation, Dylan lowered his wand, not wanting the creatures to feel like he was threatening them. Raised wands could put anyone on edge, he understood...That had to also include creatures, right? Right.
Stay away from the Bowtruckles and find woodlice and eggs...Right.
Just WHERE was he suppose to find these wonderful things to offer to the irate creatures?
"Could someone point me in the right direction?" SPOILER!!: That guy...

He could just put all the blame on Cece. If she hadn't barged into his hut the way she had, rearranging his pictures, he would have never been distracted. And it wasn't like the Healer would ever know anyway. Hehe. So, leaving her back at his hut once the Patronus arrived, Waylon made his way into the Forbidden Forest, his two lidded and labeled buckets in his hands. It took him nearly no time at all to find where the class was and.. what do you know? There really were Bowtruckles.
Staring at the little creatures for a moment, he popped open one of the buckets full of wood lice and held it out for Callie to take. Was she mad!? "I forgot to give these to you. Sorry."
Was he forgiven!?
Oh, wasn't that rich?
What an irresponsible guy this one was...NOW the Professor was getting her woodlice. Pfft. AFTER THE FACT that these psychotic creatures were basically attacking his classmates.
How was this guy employed?
Of course, Dylan couldn't be bothered to make an sudden movements. He did NOT want to be scratched up or whatever the things were doing. No, he'd rather kick them in the face than have that happen.
o.O
They were coming from everywhere...
*MASSIVE GLARING AT TEH GROUND'S KEEPER*
