"Griffin claws!" he supplied, waggling his fingers as though he was waving, though it was more like a sort of instinctual fidget. "The claws of griffins." In case that wasn't clear and someone thought he was talking about a Ravenclaw/Gryffindor hybrid. "They're used in wands. My wand has a griffin claw in it." Just FYI.

Obediently though, he waited, and when Josie joined him, the Gryffindor couldn't help but smile. She was awesome, and a Ravenclaw, which was definitely a good thing in terms of having someone to work with if the opportunity arose. Smart one she was. Oohhhh and jobberknoll feathers, hehe they'd used those recently too.

As for his own response, something to share....

Zeke's hand shot up into the air. "Clabbert tooth, Professor! It's my wand core." And it was EPIC. Clabbert's were super cool too, in general, he'd read about them before school started and everything!

Well hey, she had to pick up a thing or two bugging her cousin at Ollivanders (or really, cute interns that sometimes ended up there). And really there were a whole ton of creatures that ended up as wand cores in some way, which was cool. Her own wand had a banshee hair for a core.

Looking down at her own wand, she placed her hand in the air. "Unicorn hairs are used in wands, professor." THOSE were useful because they were in her wand, mmhmm.

"Correct.. hairs and other parts from creatures are used for wand making."

SPOILER!!: For potions

"Unicorn hair, sir. Rare, but useful for all sorts of things - namely wand cores," because duh aspiring wandmaker, "AND it can be an ingredient used in potions," because duh also an aspiring potioneer. And they'd even just used it in the hate potion they had brewed in their first potions class of the term.

Beautiful answer, wasn't it?

Hearing the first question asked, she raised her hand almost instantly waiting to be picked on. "U-Um, there's the feather of the J-Jobberknoll..That is u-used in Truth S-Serums & M-Memory Potions.." She recently found this out when she had been doing some reading in her Potions book after the incident when she had tripped & tumbled in History of Magic, seeing as to how she was rushing because she was almost late for class. So she figured that perhaps a Memory Potion might be able to help her remember when she had class & not be late. So, yes, Jobberknoll feathers were used in Memory Potions.

Raising her hand she offered an answer to the question. "Jobberknoll feathers are a potions ingredient."

"Unicorn horns can be used in lots of potions. Mostly it's used for a common antidote to most poisons. Doesn't mean it always works, but it mostly works. So yeah. That's definitely a benefit." She said with a nod. There were lots of things in the unicorn that were useful--she was surprised she even know what kind of potion the horn was used for. She would have mentioned the blood thing, but then again--that was only half a benefit, wasn't it? Immortality....but a cursed life...yeah, Eden didn't really consider that a benefit.

He was going to pay complete attention to the class he loved. And the professor had just asked the first question causing him to raise his hand to answer.

"Re'em blood is used in potions and to give the drinker immense strength," he answered before lowering his hand. Funny that it was a potion item he could think of to supply. His worst subject helping out his favorite one?

Especially since his wandless magic didn't seem to be working anymore...it must have disappeared the same night he ended up in this place.

"Well, Billwig stings are used in candy or something. And in potions," Rumplestiltskin replied. He was going to keep calm and not make a scene in this class...not until he saw what the subject of the lesson was, of course.

She wasn't really listening but it took the Ravenclaw longer to think back to her textbook reading before she could respond. She hadn't focused much on this lesson after all.

"Bicorn horns are used in the Polyjuice Potion" she offered. It wasn't a brilliant usage but at least she had referred to the exact name. Had anyone mentioned that already? Did she really care if they had?

No.

As for the rest of the class the fifteen-year-old couldn't help but notice the drama queen throwing up in the corner. He'd probably over-indulged in the great hall or something. He recieved no sympathy, just a roll of the eyes. ALL the kids were like that at this school. Mental.

Absolutely bonkers.

Oh and she HAD noticed Eden's little wave to get her attention but Layla hadn't adhered to it. She was quite content in the corner over here. Away from the crazies. Well WELL away.

Dead useful to humans. You have to eat them whole, though." Nod. "And people use them for Love Potions or whatever." Not that he knew much about that because did he need a love potion to make someone fall in love with him? LOL. No. Whitty charm.

Oh will you look at that? Someone couldn't handle the class. Buckle up, kid.

She was going to say something from a unicorn, but a bunch of other people already said that. So instead her answer was directly connected to that boy... Ruby's brother... Gabe, as Zahra called him. "Armadillo bile is useful in potions, sir." But not anxiety throw-up. She averted her eyes from the pile of sick and instead tried to also gesture towards Gabe for the professor.

Though still, she raised her hand. ”Professor, ugh well Mountain Troll dung is used in potions?” she stated her well…question? Because really, she was asking more than stating because mountain troll dung should never be used in a potion.

"Yes, those are also useful with Potion brewing."

SPOILER!!: Creature blood

But hm. Thinking.

He wanted to be original with this one. 'Cause despite anyone's suspicious Zander did actually read TWO informational books over the summer (not counting superhero comics because he read like five hundred of those). And one just so happened to be Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them. That and Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean 'cause you know ahem. Not thinking about it. La la la. Not thinking about her.

"Salamander blood!" heheeee he remembered that one because salamander was so much fun to say. "I think I remember reading that it has the ability to cure or something?" That was helpful. Right?

Plus, there still wasn’t even any reason to act like anyone was being stupid. As long as they stayed away from her, she was going to focus on making the professor know she was paying attention.

He smiled at his panda answer. But then he heard the teacher ask a question. Hmm, he thought of one. "Professor I know unicorn blood is used in some potions and it give the drink eternal life but also a cursed life."He didn't remember someone mentioning it, but if they did then they were thinking on the same page.

"Indeed.. but just like our own, it's never recommended to drink it."

SPOILER!!: Others

"Indeed.. other than in potions, some use them for facial cleansing and for the ground."

The professor had said 'magical' creatures, so she couldn't mentioned her uncle's bees either. Hmph. She raised her hand before giving giving her answer. "Billywig sting."

Seriously, where was that coming from and WHY? You could never be too sure any more.

It seemed almost impossible at first, but Alexa managed to pry her attention fro the hedges long enough to make an attempt at the Professor's question.

"You've also got Billywig stings. Those have been proven useful and entertaining." They were the stuff in Fizzing Whizbees, yeah? That was all she cared to know. Dead useful it was and now she was missing her candy bag even more. It had a couple packs of the stuff in it and she could have used some right about now.

Also, the question got her wondering. Was this a collection class?

"Correct. Billywig stings excrete out a slime that makes it essential."

Someone had done their research. "Very good, Miss Valentine. The venom is what makes them nearly impossible to counteract the effects."

He raised his hand and when recognized, answered Professor. Don't know the truth of it now, but I've read about folks using dragon scales to make armor. it would be really! really sweet to have dragon scale armor.

It's nice to know he was speaking of actual dragon scales. "It's possible.. their skin is used as articles of clothing and wear due to their endurance and to protect us from many injuries." Like the said gloves for example.

Sigh.

Sigh.

"I mean, flobberworm mucus. REMEMBER when you made me collect it, SIR!" Not a question because he TOTES did remember. "Hehe."

An eyebrow quirked at her first suggestion. "Correct.." With the mucus part, that is.

Jasmine was still perplexed by her Aladdin encounter. Mercifully the Professor called the class to order. And a question was posed right off the bat. This time she had an answer ready so she raised her hand. "Acromantula venom is used in potions and it is very valuable." There, Jasmine had made her initial contribution. Now she could sit back, listen and take notes as necessary.

"Indeed.. It's considerably even more valuable when extracted whilst they're still alive." Which not many were willing to take the risk at understandably.

Items collected from magical creatures used for our benefit. Hmm. There was a few that she could think of but they had all already been said by someone else. Remembering something she was told once she raised her hand into the air. "Demiguise hair. It's really valuable and can be used to make invisibility cloaks."

Lowering her hand into her lap she smiled softly sitting straighter in her spot.

"Correct." Speaking of that reminded him that he was due to replace his old one.

With a raised hand, she said "What about the jewels in a fire crab?" What you could do with them was another story, but they were pretty, and there had to be some use to them.

An interesting thought as he curtly nodded. "Novelty-wise the jewels are more valuable while attached to the shell." On the muggle side however... well, he wasn't going to go that route with these students.

It was the predictable ones you wanted to watch out for though. Because you always knew when they would do something stupid. Whereas the unpredictable people, you never knew what they might do next. Just as he was about to walk back over to Jasmine the Professor spoke. Hmmm.

Hmmmmm.

Hmmmmm. Knowing only one magical creature Aladdin raised his hand and said "Phoenix Feathers can be used in multiple things...also...my name is Bastion...it's Aladdin." Biting his lip after he said his answer, he was nervous about this. Were Phoenix Feathers actually useful for magical things? Aladdin didn't really know so he just took a stab in the dark at that. He prayed that his answer would be at least semi right.

Also why did the Professor call him 'Mr. Bastion'? That wasn't even close to his name! People at this place were just butchering his name. Who was this Gregoire or Bastion person that they spoke of? Did Aladdin bump his head, and was this all just a big dream? Pinching himself to make sure he gave a little yelp as he pinched a bit harder than he wanted to. One thing was certain though...

Definitely not a dream.

Another reason to have his eyebrow quirk up. Aladdin... riight. "Phoenix feathers are indeed useful."

SPOILER!!: Concerning

What if....he got viciously mauled by some ridiculous animal....? What if whatever was making that noise......was COMING for him.....Them.....ALL OF THEM.....

He swallowed hard, trying to focus on the professor's voice. Gabe wanted to answer the question...but what were words. He couldn't...make his voice work. He. Was. Terrified.

'Occamy eggs. From Occamies. Liquid Luck potion and.....the shells.....He and Jere had researched....'

...He was going to be sick...

...and he was. A moment later. Doubled over and heaving up his morning breakfast...before collapsing back.

Boom pow. Lean back Professor man and prepare to be amazed. With his answer.

O_________________________________________________ ____o

Gavri'el....what...no....stop!

He squealed and tried to skirt away from it. These were expensive SHOES.

"Oh hey, hey Professor. Gabe just died. He does that in every class so don't feel bad, but you better go look at that."

The others had lots of good answers, and David could think of absolutely ZERO answers. At least, zero new ones. So maybe he would just sit here and...

...get distracted by a guy throwing up back there? Awkward. Poor bloke.

Now what was going on back there?

Javy's face went blank at some of the reactions as he got up to make his way over. Lovely.. A student had just thrown up. Least it was out on the grounds. Lazily he flicked his wand toward the vile on the ground cleaning it up right away before the smell could reach any others.

Now who was the unlucky student? Took a few moments before the name from the roster jogged his memory. "Mr. Banner.. are you going to be okay to continue on the lesson with us?" The kid was looking quite pale. A chocolate frog usually was offered in these circumstances unless he had the stomach flu. Which meant he would need to get it taken care of. "If not.. I suggest you head on back and make your way to the Hospital Wing immediately." It was his choice really.

Once that was more or less being taken care of, it was time to move on ahead. Making his way back to the original table he was on.

"Alright. Now today we'll be capturing some Fairies and of course you'll be needing some jars to hold them in." Javier was pleased to see how many brought their own today. "No matter if you don't have one, there's some spare ones here." Using his feet to push the box full of them from under the benches into full view. There were also the familiar sparkling glitter gloves wedged in too just in case.. "Just make sure to clean them." Since they were looking on the dirty side inside of them.

"Now whenever you're ready with your gloves and jar, head on inside." With that the Professor went on over to one of the bushes to push through, making an entry point for them as he waited next to the opening. They were free to move in now.

---
OOC: As instructed, take the/your jar and enter through the bushes. Next post will be around 12-2pm EST. =)

And one just so happened to be Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them. That and Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean 'cause you know ahem. Not thinking about it. La la la. Not thinking about her. "Salamander blood!" heheeee he remembered that one because salamander was so much fun to say. "I think I remember reading that it has the ability to cure or something?" That was helpful. Right?

Anyways back to the class task at hand. He smiled at his panda answer. But then he heard the teacher ask a question. Hmm, he thought of one. "Professor I know unicorn blood is used in some potions and it give the drink eternal life but also a cursed life."He didn't remember someone mentioning it, but if they did then they were thinking on the same page. "Indeed.. but just like our own, it's never recommended to drink it." SPOILER!!: Others Quote: Originally Posted by SlytherinSistah "Probably dung, Professor." He said, looking a BIT TOO EAGER. He'd long wondered about this ever since he'd seen the augurey poop so casual like on it's little perch during that one lesson. Poop. Magical poop. Actually, dragon dung was used in Herbology, so why not other types. "Indeed.. other than in potions, some use them for facial cleansing and for the ground." Quote: Originally Posted by Hey Ju Agatha wanted to say unicorn hair, but a Ravenclaw girl beat her to it and the Slytherin narrowed her eyes at her. She had to think of something else now. Hmph. The professor had said 'magical' creatures, so she couldn't mentioned her uncle's bees either. Hmph. She raised her hand before giving giving her answer. "Billywig sting." Quote: Originally Posted by DaniDiNardo They were going further?? Sweet Circe, they were trying to find Neverland. The adverb strategically placed before the word 'land' should have been all the Professor needed to understand that it shouldn't be done and Lex couldn't think of anything they'd find further off in these hedges--especially not anything that giggled. Seriously, where was that coming from and WHY? You could never be too sure any more. It seemed almost impossible at first, but Alexa managed to pry her attention fro the hedges long enough to make an attempt at the Professor's question. "You've also got Billywig stings. Those have been proven useful and entertaining." They were the stuff in Fizzing Whizbees, yeah? That was all she cared to know. Dead useful it was and now she was missing her candy bag even more. It had a couple packs of the stuff in it and she could have used some right about now. Also, the question got her wondering. Was this a collection class? "Correct. Billywig stings excrete out a slime that makes it essential." Quote: Originally Posted by Harry174 Angel looked at the Professor and raised her hand. "What about a basilisk fang?" Angel had heard about them. "I know you can use them to destroy stuff." Angel wondered if they would be good for anything else. Someone had done their research. "Very good, Miss Valentine. The venom is what makes them nearly impossible to counteract the effects." Quote: Originally Posted by Edward Penguin Ian looked up as the professor began to speak more teacherly. He glanced at his own pocket watch and saw class time was here. He slid his book back into his satchel and listened. Seemed like professors were all about gauging their knowledge level. Ian listened to the other students and decided to try an response he wasn't 100 percent sure about. He raised his hand and when recognized, answered Professor. Don't know the truth of it now, but I've read about folks using dragon scales to make armor. it would be really! really sweet to have dragon scale armor. It's nice to know he was speaking of actual dragon scales. "It's possible.. their skin is used as articles of clothing and wear due to their endurance and to protect us from many injuries." Like the said gloves for example. Quote: Originally Posted by Mad Eye Touz "Deadman's toe and EYE OF NEWT! Mixed together will brew a poot!" Zahra recited, then promptly died laughing. That was a classic. Sigh, where was Mikey at to laugh with her again? Sigh. Sigh. "I mean, flobberworm mucus. REMEMBER when you made me collect it, SIR!" Not a question because he TOTES did remember. "Hehe." An eyebrow quirked at her first suggestion. "Correct.." With the mucus part, that is. Quote: Originally Posted by Daydreamer11 Jasmine smiled when Professor Thompson greeted her and offered congratulations on becoming Prefect. "Thank you sir. I just hope I live up to the challenge." Jasmine was still perplexed by her Aladdin encounter. Mercifully the Professor called the class to order. And a question was posed right off the bat. This time she had an answer ready so she raised her hand. "Acromantula venom is used in potions and it is very valuable." There, Jasmine had made her initial contribution. Now she could sit back, listen and take notes as necessary. "Indeed.. It's considerably even more valuable when extracted whilst they're still alive." Which not many were willing to take the risk at understandably. Quote: Originally Posted by SpiritWolfe Malfoy Hady whispered a quiet greeting as both Brooklyn and Norah joined her at the bench she was sat on. Now she wasn't alone and what was better was she knew both girls. Items collected from magical creatures used for our benefit. Hmm. There was a few that she could think of but they had all already been said by someone else. Remembering something she was told once she raised her hand into the air. "Demiguise hair. It's really valuable and can be used to make invisibility cloaks." Lowering her hand into her lap she smiled softly sitting straighter in her spot. "Correct." Speaking of that reminded him that he was due to replace his old one. Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixStar As far as the question was concerned, AJ thought that you could really say anything. The first thing that popped into her mind came out of her mouth. With a raised hand, she said "What about the jewels in a fire crab?" What you could do with them was another story, but they were pretty, and there had to be some use to them. An interesting thought as he curtly nodded. "Novelty-wise the jewels are more valuable while attached to the shell." On the muggle side however... well, he wasn't going to go that route with these students. Quote: Originally Posted by natethegreat Aladdin remained standing by the strange man he mad a deal with. Something told him, he'd better keep an eye on this man. Most likely he was the unpredictable sort of guy. It was the predictable ones you wanted to watch out for though. Because you always knew when they would do something stupid. Whereas the unpredictable people, you never knew what they might do next. Just as he was about to walk back over to Jasmine the Professor spoke. Hmmm. Hmmmmm. Hmmmmm. Knowing only one magical creature Aladdin raised his hand and said "Phoenix Feathers can be used in multiple things...also...my name is Bastion...it's Aladdin." Biting his lip after he said his answer, he was nervous about this. Were Phoenix Feathers actually useful for magical things? Aladdin didn't really know so he just took a stab in the dark at that. He prayed that his answer would be at least semi right. Also why did the Professor call him 'Mr. Bastion'? That wasn't even close to his name! People at this place were just butchering his name. Who was this Gregoire or Bastion person that they spoke of? Did Aladdin bump his head, and was this all just a big dream? Pinching himself to make sure he gave a little yelp as he pinched a bit harder than he wanted to. One thing was certain though... Definitely not a dream. Another reason to have his eyebrow quirk up. Aladdin... riight. "Phoenix feathers are indeed useful." SPOILER!!: Concerning Quote: Originally Posted by Govoni ..........Wait. WHAT? They were going deeper into this maze....thing?

What if whatever was making that noise......was COMING for him.....Them.....ALL OF THEM..... He swallowed hard, trying to focus on the professor's voice. Gabe wanted to answer the question...but what were words. He couldn't...make his voice work. He. Was. Terrified. 'Occamy eggs. From Occamies. Liquid Luck potion and.....the shells.....He and Jere had researched....' ...He was going to be sick... ...and he was. A moment later. Doubled over and heaving up his morning breakfast...before collapsing back. Quote: Originally Posted by fanficfanatict Hugh was downright SPRITELY. This was an ah-mazing class, yo.

O_________________________________________________ ____o Gavri'el....what...no....stop! He squealed and tried to skirt away from it. These were expensive SHOES. Quote: Originally Posted by Mad Eye Touz At the sound of that new kid HUGH squealing, Zahra looked back to where that crew was congregated. "Oh hey, hey Professor. Gabe just died. He does that in every class so don't feel bad, but you better go look at that." Quote: Originally Posted by AlwaysSnapesGirl Ruby got a wink when she sat next to him, but class started before he could say anything. So okay, items that could be taken from creatures that were beneficial... ...um... The others had lots of good answers, and David could think of absolutely ZERO answers. At least, zero new ones. So maybe he would just sit here and... ...get distracted by a guy throwing up back there? Awkward. Poor bloke. Now what was going on back there? Javy's face went blank at some of the reactions as he got up to make his way over. Lovely.. A student had just thrown up. Least it was out on the grounds. Lazily he flicked his wand toward the vile on the ground cleaning it up right away before the smell could reach any others. Now who was the unlucky student? Took a few moments before the name from the roster jogged his memory. "Mr. Banner.. are you going to be okay to continue on the lesson with us?" The kid was looking quite pale. A chocolate frog usually was offered in these circumstances unless he had the stomach flu. Which meant he would need to get it taken care of. "*If not.. I suggest you head on back and make your way to the Hospital Wing immediately." It was his choice really. Once that was more or less being taken care of, it was time to move on ahead. Making his way back to the original table he was on. "Alright. Now today we'll be capturing some Fairies and of course you'll be needing some jars to hold them in." Javier was pleased to see how many brought their own today. "No matter if you don't have one, there's some spare ones here." Using his feet to push the box full of them from under the benches into full view. There were also the familiar sparkling glitter gloves wedged in too just in case.. "Just make sure to clean them." Since they were looking on the dirty side inside of them. "Now whenever you're ready with your gloves and jar, head on inside." With that the Professor went on over to one of the bushes to push through, making an entry point for them as he waited next to the opening. They were free to move in now. --- OOC:* As instructed, take the/your jar and enter through the bushes. Next post will be around 12-2pm EST. =) __________________ Last edited by Charely Potter; 10-03-2014 at 07:02 PM. Reason: apparently quotes got eaten.
