For now though...

Well.
"Yeah. Yeah, vampires fly. Like bats. Just like bats. Basically are bats. But... you just have to practice. That's why I have a bat for a pet, my Egbert. We practice." Not flying, but they practiced lots of things. So, not TECHNICALLY a lie.
"Clothes aren't aerodynamically friendly though. I heard that removing a shirt can also help with... you know.... moving your bowels. Less restrictive." She'd probably heard that? If not, she had NOW...from herself. So again, not a lie...ish.
Plus, she wanted Dragon Bait to faint again and for Elijah to take his shirt off and set himself butt on fire. Aspen was learning SO MUCH this year.
She turned her bucket over so that her crab was UNDER it. He was looking stressed so he could just chill under there for a while. "Oooooohhhhhh," Elijah said with a tone of understanding as Aspen explained the ways behind Vamp!Flying (bet Vindictus couldn't teach THAT), and it struck him in regards to how stupid he was not to have made the connection between Aspen and her bat. It all made sense, now.
"Take off my shirt...?" Elijah hesitated. The last time his shirt had been off in a class it had ended extremely badly, but that was because Magnus was a drama queen who lived in a box under the Hogwarts bridge. Perhaps this new Professor would enjoy a pec flex? His little grey cells got to work and decided he couldn't be blamed if it wasn't his fault he was topless (not that it had helped much in Transfiguration, but hey ho).
SO, when the Professor's back was turned, he quickly removed his shirt and threw it on the ground, casting a quick incendio to it and setting it alight. Removing his firecrab from it's bucket, he quickly faced it's rear to where the flames were now eating his shirt up. He was glad he had worn a crappy shirt today since he expected to get messy in this class. "Ohhhh deaaaar. Look at what has haappppeeeneeedd," Elijah feigned surprise, "Don't worry about it little guy, these this happen." He gave his little fire crab a small pat to show the Professor how friendly he was being despite the fire crab obviously setting him on fire and FORCING him to remove his shirt.
"Now what...?"
SPOILER!!: Kurumi Quote:

And she probably should have named her fire crab, since they had bonded and everything. Only then she was going to get attached and want to keep him and...
Wait...could she? Just for the remainder of her time at Hogwarts that is. Raising her hand to get the professor's attention, she was about to ask when...
Aspen Odessa happened.
....................
Kurumi's finger froze in place over a ruby and her head SNAPPED to the side to look at Aspen. Was she.... Did she.... Kurumi wasn't even going to comment on how she had just shoved her poor fire crab under a bucket. She was too focused on Aspen's lips and the words that had just come out of them.
" Are you suggesting that we all take our shirts off?" she squeaked, her right hand tugging uncomfortably on her collar NOT as though she were going to actually do it, more that she really needed some breathing room right now. SPOILER!!: Instructions! Step One:✓
Fill the bucket up with enough water to make sure the rear of the Fire Crab is completely covered. While letting soak for several minutes, lightly rub the shell with your fingertips to feel for any soft spots or cracks. (Soaking will allow any buildup, caused by its flames, to loosen)
Step Two:✓
With a soft bristled brush, gently scrub the entire shell using a light, circular motion. Pay special attention to any areas with buildup, mostly around their colored jewels and under the rim of the shell. Be careful not to brush areas covered in scales. They tend to be sensitive.
Step Three:✓
Gently massage the Fire Crab shell, under body, legs and tail with a soft, wet washcloth. This will loosen most soil. Don't worry if small flakes are released from the shell! This is just normal shedding. Rinse the Fire Crab to remove flakes.
Step Four:✓
Rinse the Fire Crab thoroughly. Closely inspect the shell for any irregularities, such as softening, excessive flaking, cracks, unusual discharge, or discolorations. Discoloration would occur on the jewels.
Step Five:
While still wet, place the Fire Crab back in the cage and cover with the cage with a dark colored cloth (the ones that covered it earlier). Rinse out supplies.
Kurumi spoke up then, obviously having listened into their conversation. Elijah gave a small stifle of laughter as the panicked expression consumed her face as she believed they ALL had to take their shirts off. Of course, only vampires did, so that they could fly more easily... DUH.
However, the complete boy in Elijah just haaaad to go and say, "Yes," and a pec flex to you Miss Hollingberry! Take TWO Miss Hollingberry!
This should really be the new uniform.
Elijah put his crab back in water and as he waited for Aspen's next set of instructions, he gently rubbed the crab's shell a little so that he looked as if he was attempting the task. The crab's face was, yet again, expressionless... maybe a BIT happier looking. But, he was topless, now, after all. Maybe he had a girl crab?
