Javy nodded as they had left, his seat was closest to the window so he could idly glance over every now and then. Yes, the two young ladies would only need to deliver the blankets to them and if they needed any help, they would let him know.. Supposedly. To the younger Strand brother who decided to stand right by to look out the window, "Have a seat, Mr. Strand." Choosing now to glance out the window, he could see Leo and young Mr. Bay already out there with.. Piersie? His voice remaining firm as he continued. Last thing they needed was another student out there for them watch after. "..Mr. Kitridge and Professor Fuller should be more than capable of looking after them." As he hoped because doubting their abilities wasn't a wise choice at this time.

SPOILER!!: Replies

The charm could be used to prevent physical contact with the creature so as not to aggravate them further.” He’d really hate it if someone touched him if he wasn’t feeling comfortable, let alone be touched by a stranger, yes? And, how exactly will this help? “…from what I have seen back in Hogsmeade, if I was the only person there, I’d use the charm to give it food. Unicorns don’t trust males…but it needs to be fed, so there.”

Ethan’s attention however shifted again to the commotion that was happening. Why is Mr. Kitridge and a certain Mr. Bay out in the cold? And…now Professor Thompson is asking Cassia and Jasmine to help?

...

Yep. He’s got a bad feeling about this.

"Yes, as long as the proper equipment is around." Dragonkeepers used this a lot.

And you could carry on with your task.

"They can, depending on the creature and their size. The larger-sized creatures may experience further aggression if not performed properly."

Also...what was with everybody wanting to be Harry Potter and going out to save the day? Sophie was going to volunteer alright. She was going to volunteer to just stay put and let everybody else put themselves in danger.

But for now...what were they even talking about? "Has anybody said Arresto Momentum yet?" she asked. "Because that slows the movement of an object, and buying us a little extra time wouldn't hurt."

She was STILL wondering what was going on OUTSIDE the meeting and once her mind was focused on something she was curious about, it was very hard to turn her attention to something else, especially without answers.

She WAS trying, though. Honest.

As it stood, it was Cassia and some Ravenclaw going while they sat here answering questions. If only the Professor had brought food with him. Kitridge would never have to know. They wouldn't say anything if he wasn't saying anything.

But yes, back to the discussion where she was pleased to see the Professor taking her idea just as seriously as everyone else's.

The Gryffindor stuck her hand up. "You could always try the body binding curse if the creature isn't too big. That would get 'em holding still long enough for whatever."

And she did mean whatever. The possibilities were endless once you successfully subdued an animal.

"Yes, those are acceptable." Also nodding in approval at the three.

Interesting choice on using Legilimens. "It could in theory.. Given how advanced the spell is it probably wouldn't be the first spell many would think of attempting on a creature." Since the spell would require a calm and clear mind beforehand. Though Javy wouldn't recommend it, he was appreciative of her idea.

SPOILER!!: Summon food

So yeah, she wasn't gonna complain about staying in here for this meeting thing. Probably wasn't much going on out there now anyway.

So anyway, spells. "Maybe you could use a Summoning Charm to summon some food or something else to make the creature want to trust you." That was the only suggestion she could come up with right now.

No... It was not coming from Zander pft. Okay maybe a little. But he had taken a shower this morning and everything! Hopefully the two girls wouldn't noticed. The fact that they were all enchilada-ed together was really helping. Plus it made it even more of a reason to keep his composure. He couldn't have them thinking that he was terrified. He was the man. And a Gryffindor man nonetheless.

Either way Zander was a bit too distracted to give on a full answer. So he just listened to the others before contributing himself. "I agree with Ethan, Sir!" he said giving a nod to Simon's friend and now hopefully his friend too? He was a cool guy. And Zander wanted to be friends with him... Please?

"Since we used the placement charm in class, I figure that it'd be a good charm for the creatures. You could use it for food like Ethan suggested, and then you could probably use it for placing maybe something on the creature that would help you bring it back without freaking it out by getting too close?" He wanted to say like a leash. But that would probably be frowned upon. Either way, the placement charm could definitely come in handy. "And if you need to interact with the creature, but you aren't sure if it's safe or not, it'd be a good idea to keep distance. So the charm would help with that too I suppose." Boy was he sure rambling on now. He just needed to distract himself.

Jumping slightly as the professor asked another question, she realized that they were just going to carry on. Okay then. The Hufflepuff reminded herself that she should be volunteering to go outside and help like Cris, but her cold hands told her that she was too cold to do anything. Grrr.

Raising up her hand, the second year said, "I don't know much about spells, but I think conjuring food to attract the animal would work." she agreed to the older Gryffindor girl. FOOD solves everything! Hmm okay that was a bit of a stretch.

He figured that they probably should keep the animal calm throughout the whole situation. He raised his hand and offered a response. "I also think that having food out would be the quickest way to get the creature to work with you. However, when your giving the creature food, you shouldn't make quick movements; otherwise, you may scare it away," he said. Treat a creature with respect. That was an important part of dealing with any type of animal: magical or not.

"So long as there's food already present and they are hungry, being able to conjure more could help." So yes, very good thinking with taking their hunger in account.

After casually adding to the list the spells mentioned, Javy kept his attention on the class, "Alright, those are some good additions. Now of course there are plenty more." Giving the board a few taps as he added one of his own. "The tickling charm can be considered as quaint, but another effective spell if targeted at the right spot. While a few stunning spells can work, a tickling charm can also send a creature on their back in one spot effectively powerless." Same reason as to why no one ever wants to be tickled.

Quote:

Controlling a Creature
Potential spells to help subdue

Placement Charm ; Fixate

Memory Charm ; Obliviate

Cheering Charm ; Gaudeo

Arresto Momentum

Shield Charm ; Protego

Summoning Charm ; Accio

Body-binding Curse ; Petrificus Totalus

Tickling Charm ; Rictusempra

Since that part was over. Javy then reached into his bag to take out a box. Handing it to the nearest student, "Alright now, everyone take one and pass it down." Inside the boxes was a palm-fitting sized toy. The toys let out a soft squawking noise when held a certain way. The Professor waited until everyone had one of their own before he could continue.
