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?"

Mick sat at the back of the class, taking notes when necessary and laughing his head off at Laura's answers. He tried to keep the volume of his laugh down, but when his friend answered the question about Diricawls...Quidditch! She's hilarious; he would join her and make joke answers but he didn't want to get in trouble. He threw an eraser at Laura's desk and winked, as if he was sharing a private joke that she would only get.

"Professor," he called out, raising his hand as everyone lined up to see the Augurey, "Diricawls are fluffy, plump birds that can't fly. Muggles refer to them as dodos." Muggles are funny, Mick thought to himself. He scanned the front of the class, deciding to stay in his seat. Augurey birds always creep him out.
