It seemed like they really knew their stuff. And although she didn't want to have to talk, there were just a few answers that needed to be responded to.
But, she simply could not ignore those answers, no matter how much she wanted to. "Good job, everyone!" Except Laura. But she wasn't going to say that. "There's no way we can figure out why people thought that about the Augurey," she was not going to repeat what was said, "since those thoughts happened so long ago and people know better now, but perhaps after taking a look for yourself, up close, you'll have your own theories about it." She knew she had her own. Taking a few steps away from the congregated students, Vanora held up her arm and gave a whistle. It took just a few moments, but finally the greenish black bird emerged from the rafters and flew down to gently land on her arm.
She was not going to mention how long it took her to get him to actually do that.
"This is an Augurey!" Obviously. Professor Newlin moved back over to the bird stands she had grabbed earlier, just in case the bird wanted to.. get off her arm. She couldn't finish the lesson with him being so clingy. "He's shy, but if you want to, you can all come up, one at a time, though, to feed or pet him." Birds liked to be petted. "Their feathers are just a little bit oily, which explains why they can't be used as quills. It also explains why they are such great hunters during the rain." Yup.
And since the lesson wasn't just about the Augurey, the Augurey who had decided to perch himself on the bird stand instead of her arm and stare at everyone expectantly.. "While you all do that, who can tell me what they know about the Diricawl?"
OOC: Thank you all for being patient with meeeee! *glomps you all* If you're going to have your charrie go up and pet the Augurey or feed him, just pretend they're going up one at a time. No need to actually wait. XD
Well, at least Professor Newlin didn't cry...yet. Because then it'd be all awkward. However, the answers seemed to be occupying her. Especially that some were kinda weird that even Cassia couldn't understand. And she happens to understand only weird things! Finally they were moving on. Cassia watched the bird fly to the Professor in an interested look. It always fascinated Cassia obedient some creatures could get.
The second year jumped from her seat when Newlin said they could pet the creature. And because she was small and fast she managed to slip between the bodies and pop up in front of the Professor who was holding the bird. Cassia at first stared at it.You don't just reach for it without having a general look. And the bird looked cute and harmless so she reached her hand out and started petting its feathers. It did feel oily, It was fortunate that Professor had warned them about it. Because Cassia might have thought that it was
dirty. Newlin might have gotten offended then and you don't want to upset an already upset Professor. After petting the bird like so many times and on all the pet-able areas ,Cassia thought of feeding it but she knew better than bringing her hand close to a creature's mouth! NO WAY! She learnt that dealing with her evil owl. So petting was enough for her. With a last grin towards the bird and the grin could also be meant for Newlin, Cassia stepped back. "It's cute." Yup that was the conclusions Cassia could ever get to.
And as for the question, Cassia stepped back allowing other students to come near the bird. She paused searching for any info in her mind about this and that brough a smile because she loved one thing about this."
Diricawl is a fat bird that has fluffy feathers!" the Snake said with a toothy grin. "
Are they here? Can we touch them?" She's twelve...so she likes fluffy things...obviously.
