Tristan chuckled as the great bird landed next to Melbourne on her hay bale, and took a seat as if he wanted to be a student too! "As you can see, despite being independent, they don't mind being around people, especially when they are domesticated. They are actually very gentle creatures." He paused for thought, "You all gave really great answers. One thing I would like to add on. If you notice, Ash is sitting on a bale of hay...and it hasn't caught fire. From some intensive study and research, we Magizoologists believe that Phoenixes can control the temperature of their feathers, which is why when you rub him or hold on tight to his tail feathers, yes they are warm, but they will not burn you...unless of course he wants it to." He said with a grin.

"Now getting into the basics, because you need to know this as well; Phoenixes are native to Egypt, India, and China. And as you already know, their plumage is scarlet, they have a golden tail, black eyes, and a golden beak and talons." He paused and walked around for a moment, "But now I would like to focus on the Burning day. I know we touched on it a little but I would like to know what you know." He paused, pacing a little to get his mind to regroup. "My questions for you are: What do Phoenixes look like on a Burning Day? What happens on a Burning Day and what do Phoenixes look like just after they burn? Could this mean that Phoenixes are immortal creatures?" He paused again, "Now you don't have to answer all of them, and that last question is more of....a matter of opinion." Which meant there was no correct answer to that one. Now he awaited all the answers that would surely rain down on him.

OOC: Alright...WOW! I am amazed at all your great answers!! Thank you for participating so well! As stated, you can answer all of the questions, or just one. Whatever you would like to do.

We will be moving on in about 18-20 hours.

She had gotten both her answers correct!! BOOM!!!! Sully was feeling on her game today that's for sure!! Normally she did so poorly in Care of Magical Creatures, but she felt a connection to the phoenix, he was beautiful! And after all she had a phoenix feather in her wand as well. That made her feel pretty good about herself!!

"They look awful on a burning day. She was trying to remember what she had seen in books. "Their feather are molting and they don't look pretty at all." Okay maybe that was a little to harsh for the bird, it wasn't their fault after all that they burned. "I think they can live a long time, but no I'm not sure they are immortal." Sully added about the last question. "Professor ... can a phoenix chose to not be reborn?"

Sully was trying to think, if they went through too much hear ache could the bird decide when it burned that it wouldn't be reborn? Who knew!
