"If you haven't found a seat, find one now, please. Class is starting," she said. She didn't have a door to shut, but if she did, this would be shutting time. Anybody arriving after this point would be late. "Quieten down while you're at it. Class time isn't social hour, and I won't speak over you."
RAWR.
...and then she smiled. No, she wasn't a force to reckoned with, but she wasn't Little Miss Sunshine either. "My name is Professor Barlow. Thank you for welcoming me to the school, but I have to tell you that I, too, was once a student here. I'm a former Slytherin and of the class of 2068," she said. They could do the math. "Yes, you do get a chance to eat ice cream later, but no, I don't have any for you here." Again, she was no one's house elf. They could get their own ice cream. "There's more where my cone came from right in our very own Great Hall."
She propped herself up on the edge of her desk then looked out over the crowd. "I graduated from Wizarding University with a master's degree in magizoology. My specialization is ingredients harvesting." Yes, yes. The Care of Magical Creatures professor harvested ingredients, and she was pretty darn good at it, too. "Since university, I've worked at a harvesting center and reserve, where I took care of unicorns and mooncalves. I also harvested the hair from the unicorns to be used for wandmaking, and the dung from the mooncalves to be used by Herbologists and fertilizing companies."
"Now, which ingredients do you know of that can be harvested from a magical creature without doing any major harm to that creature?" she asked.
Barlow? The young blond looked quizzically at the Professor before checking her schedule again... and then realized that she’s been staring at the Professor’s first name. “I—I’m sorry Professor Barlow.” She mumbled squeaked as she turned the shade of a strawberry and huddled down to take her seat... preferably somewhere off to the side and away from the woman’s line of sight, at least at first glance.
And goodness this one harvest creature parts... alas for this young one to think of that occupation as something that means dismembering the creature.
There was a question... well at least it that sounded a bit kinder. She raised her hand hesitantly mostly because she wanted to answer it but not be stared at as the student to screw up a name “Uhm... Streelers secrete venom when they move, that gets collected and is used to deal with Horklump infestation.” |
