Care of Magical Creatures Lesson 2: Yeti Field Trip

It was a bright and freezing cold February morning, and as promised, Williamson was standing in the usual Creatures classroom promptly at 7 am, already wearing his thickest parka and sipping a hot cup of coffee he'd brought out from breakfast. His bag (one, singular bag) was tightly packed and on the ground beside him. Also scattered on the ground throughout the so-called classroom was an assortment of odd objects: a broom with a broken handle, a stinky old boot, a deflated bike tire, a softly ticking but heavily scratched alarm clock, and a crushed-up ginger ale can.

"Don't touch anything," he warns the students, eying them from behind the rim of his steaming cup as they enter his space. "Hand in your permission slip and then huddle up in groups of four or five." He'd wait for his chaperones to get here before they began.
