Well, I guess that was silly since my parents signed the permission slip, but more often than I do now? I really enjoy learning about the creatures and helping them out.” "Hello Patrick." He replied. Tristan's mind was already buzzing with excitement for this activity, so to have Patrick come up and ask him a really long question, made it really hard for him to focus. But he did his best. "Uh, Patrick you know you can help as much as you would like. I can honestly use all the help in the world with all the creatures we have in the barns. So, whenever you have time you can come down, but I don't want you to come down unless all your other school work is done. Must not ignore our studies to come be with the creatures. Trust me." He knew that result too well. Quote:

... what did professor Wayland have prepared for them?! Would he be able to participate... at all? "Hello, Daehyun!" He glanced over at the table as the young man did and grinned, "Yes it is. Good job identifying it." He said with a wink not registering the slight terror in the young man's eyes. Quote:

He was pleased about the weather... he was pleased about the lake. And, he was pleased to be learning. Today was going to be a good day! Checking his leg to see if he still had his black leather wand holster, he quickly turned towards the lake, ready to make friends with whatever creature that the Prof would be introducing to them today! "Hello, Ewan! I'm doing well. How are you?" Tristan said with a wink and a grin. It was going to be an awesome day. Quote:

It wasn't hard to miss the swimming gear, gillyweed, wand holsters... this was going to some serious fun for sure. Could they get started already? Where was everyone else? Speaking of everyone... "Hello, Rylee! Ready for today's activity?" He said with a smile. He was super ready for it! Quote:

Were they going to hunt for interesting water creatures, and keep whatever they find?! Ari grinned at the thought. "Hello Ari!" Tristan was about to ask how she was but her question threw him off a bit. "Uhmm, unfortunately no. The creatures we will be working with today are wild and we don't take them out of their habitats to make them our pets." He said with a pointed glance and a concerned smile. Quote:

He immediately saw his sister Rylee and there was Ari... So, he waved to her and shot her a Hi, how are ya type smile and found a seat beside his older sister and gave her little Lion-friend a look that summed it all up.. He'd seen him around, but hadn't much spoken.. Heck!.. They hadn't even really been formally introduced and it was already October... Eh.. Reese wasn't going to say hello to him? Alright then. He smiled in the young boys direction. At least his sister said hello. Quote:

He was even excited about the idea of swimming, but he had to admit, he wasn't too enthusiastic of the idea of swimming in these temperatures that we cooler than he was used to back home. His mom would definitely not let him swim in this. He decided he would take this as a challenge. "Hi Professor," he said as he went to stand near the others. "Hello, Edmund." Tristan said with a smile, though the young man looked concerned, hopefully he would change his mind soon enough. Quote:
Originally Posted by Giant Squid Bartholomew was excited and eager to be a part of this activity. When the Creatures Professor had contacted him with an explanation, Bartholomew had readily accepted. Now the time was here. Old Bart glided silently along the Lake. Not even a splash of his tentacles could be heard against the Black Lake's water. Bart slowed his movements as he neared the shore.
"Good day, children. Professor Wayland.'' Tentacles waved in their general direction. "I will be crashing your activity today so I hope you don't mind.'' Bartholomew seemed to be smiling through his eyes. Tristan turned with a huge smile on his face. He was beyond excited for this activity, and at the appearance of the Giant Squid he was even more excited. "Bartholomew! Welcome! We are so excited to have you with us today." He said with a grin.

"Oh great! Welcome Mr Henry!"That was the squid's name right? The Aussie girl was enthusiastic that was for sure. "Hello, Bel!" Tristan said with a smile. When she noticed Bartholomew his smile widened. It was going to be a great day. Quote:

Did that mean what she THOUGHT it meant?! She hoped so! "Hello, Nettie!" He said with a smile and a small wave. He really couldn't wait to get started. Quote:
Originally Posted by Birchwoodmom She slowly made the final few meters towards the other students. "Good afternoon Professor Wayland, you too Mr. Henry." Glancing around she spotted several of her friends had already arrived. "Hey Captain Bel!" She smiled and waved at her house captain before wandering closer to the table. "Hi Ewan." She greeted her partner then eyed the supplies the professor had placed on the table. "Afternoon, Emmalyn!" Tristan said with a nod and a smile. He checked his watch; it was almost time!! Quote:

If anyone was unaware, Zoryn Amari Spinnet was by far his favoritest student of all time. He mentioned all the time.
She took that moment to look around at the table before giving the man a skeptical look with a wrinkled nose. "Are we gonna have to see you wear a swimming costume today, sir?" Because no offense, but there were somethings no one needed to see. This was one of those things. And of course his smile faltered as soon as Zoryn came into view. She was not going to get to him today. He would send her back to the castle faster than a Demiguise could disappear if she wasn't careful. "Hello, Zoryn." He said with a nod not responding to that comment. You would think a fifteen year old would mature a little but...apparently not this one.
Her question earned a very stern glare. The thought to set a silencing charm on her ran through his mind, but he pushed it away. "Who call's bathing suits swimming costumes anymore?" Was all he said back. Such an old fashioned term. And she called HIM old. He shook his head. Quote:

"Good day, professor," the Head Girl greeted, and her attention was then drawn towards the equipment on the table. "Good day, Head Girl." He said with a grin. He was very happy for Vivian. He was sure she would do a great job. Quote:

"Hello, Professor Wayland!" Daisy smiled at the teacher. She then waved and smiled at the Giant Squid. "Hello, Bart! Can I call you 'Bart'?" "Hello, Daisy!" He called back with a wave and a grin. They were getting ever closer starting the activity. Quote:

How are the babies doing today?,” she asked, as she’d joined the group waiting by the edge of the water. Giving Rylee, Bel and a few of the others a wave as she found somewhere to plant herself. "Hello, Stasya! They are doing just fine." He said with a grin. He had finally gotten all of the adopted 2 year olds over to the main barn and there were only newborns and 1 year olds left. But they were all doing well! Quote:
Originally Posted by Optimist.Prime ”Good day professor,” she smiled less enthusiastically then most of the other students. She was here though, that was what mattered. ”Hey Edmund,” she smiled as she finally settled and stood next to the Gryffindor boy she had met over summer.
"Good day, Beth!" He said with a wave. He started bouncing a little as the minutes ticked down. Quote:
Originally Posted by Callie She glanced around, quietly, seeing who was here. When her eyes fell on Reese, the edges of her lips pulled into a small, barely perceptible smile, then fell in annoyance when she spotted Rylee next to him. Ewan got a barely there nod, and finally her eyes rested on Professor Wayland, inquisitive as ever. Was Quinn staring at him or the squid? He turned to look behind him at Bartholomew and smiled before turning back to look at the young girl. She could at least say hello or something. He shook his head and checked his watch. With a grin he took a step closer to the students. "Alright everyone! It's time to get started." He paused to wait for the chatter to die down. When he had everyone's attention, he gave them a smile and said, "So for today's Creature Companion activity, I wanted to do something interesting and fun. There are so many different creatures on land and in the sea, and we have a multitude of them in our own Great Lake." He paused, "So, today. We will be going into the lake to observe some of those creatures with the help of our favorite Giant Squid, Mr. Bartholomew Henry." He put his hands out towards the squid as if showing a prize on a game show.
"But before we get into the lake, we need to get ourselves ready to go in, which means we need to be able to breath underwater for a good amount of time. I, personally, will be using the Bubble head charm. I have Gillyweed for those that don't know how to use the charm yet. If you can, which human Transfiguration you don't typically learn until seventh year, you may use transfiguration as well." He paused for a moment, and with a flick of his wand his clothes turned into a wet suit. "Now, please take the time to decide which method you will use. If you need a reminder on how the bubble head charm works, please ask. There are some changing rooms set up to the left for those that need to change into their bathing suits. He looked down at his watch.
"You have about 10 minutes before we get in the water to get changed and use whatever method you decide. Hop to it." He said with a wink and a smile. OOC: Welcome to the first Creature Companion's activity! Just a reminder that this activity will be used for plot purposes so please invite people to join! As per the instructions, have your student change into their bathing suits/wet suits etc. and chose a method to use to safely breath under the water. You have 24 hours to complete this task before we move on, but don't be alarmed if I post before then. I will be posting more frequently in this activity. Have fun!
