As soon as the treat was swallowed, the Imp jumped from the professor's hand and darted towards the young Slytherin. She eyed the girl eagerly for just a moment and then tied Kiri's shoes together. Tittering in a high-pitched giggle, the creature sprang back up onto the professor's lap and scanned the crowd, searching out her next victim.

Iliana shook her head at the smallish thing and then gave Kiri an apologetic smile. "Sorry, hun," she said. "I should have warned you. You see what Imps crave most is human attention. They're lonely little creatures that often use their jokes and pranks as a means of attracting human friendship. The problem is WE seldom like it and their attempts usually backfire as a result." Poor little things. "Just remember, while Imps are wild and somewhat uncontrollable, they are NOT harmful. So try not to be afraid."

"Now, who would like to volunteer to come up and feed one of the other Imps? There's no telling what it might do to entertain YOU."

OOC: For this part of the class, I'd like each of you to come to the front and feed an Imp. Then RP your Imp playing a NICE prank or practical joke on one of your fellow classmates. This is supposed to be fun so keep it within reason. Points awarded for creativity.
