Lesson 1 - Magical Creatures
 
Today’s lesson taking place inside, you walk into a large stone classroom with high windows. The room is bright and airy and filled with sounds and smells. The side walls are lined with cages of all shapes and sizes, and up the middle of the room is two long rows of wooden desks with very comfy chairs. At the head of the classroom is a large mahogany desk; behind it is a large tank covered with a sheet to hide it’s content.

Sounds of various animals fill the room and give it a never-ending theme song. As you walk in, the first thing you notice is the beautiful song of a magnificent Phoenix that is sitting on the professor’s desk. Calming you and making you feel less nervous, you walk confidently to find a seat.


Hello! Welcome to Care of Magical Creatures. Please make yourself comfortable as you wait for the rest of the students to arrive. You may look around the room a bit if you wish.

XxNoelxX 09-10-2005 11:46 PM

Noel walked into the classroom and took a seat, she looked around the room, prefering not to look around. Being raised by muggles she found some magical creatures quite unnerving.

Christy_Horcrux00 09-10-2005 11:50 PM

Christy entered the classroom. She could hear the beautiful phoenix song. 'She's very pretty Professor' Christy said, as she walked by Professors Dainsie desk. Christy sat in one comfy chair, she gave a look around her. I love this room.. she thought, while she scanned the high windows and cages of all shapes and sizes.

Martha 09-10-2005 11:52 PM

Martha enters the classroom, and finds a seat towards the front. She takes out a few pages of blank parchment, ink, and her favorite quill. She looks around the room to see if she recognizes some of the students, and realizes that she's one of the first students to arrive.

Draco's Gurl 09-10-2005 11:55 PM

Sara walked in and took a seat. She loved animals. She had a feeling she was going to like this class. She then got up and walked over to a hufflepuff. "Hi!"

PHLphlyest 09-10-2005 11:57 PM

Selena entered the room. It reminded her of the Primate House at the muggle zoo back in Philadelphia. "Magical or not they all apparently smell the same" Selena thought to herself as she took a seat furtherest from any creature.

Makani 09-10-2005 11:58 PM

Anelreas entered the classroom and took a seat near the back of the class. It was her preferred spot. After the events of last year with Borr and his eating lobster, she knew it was safer in the back than in the front.

Tobias was not by her side. He had wanted to come, but there wasn't a chance Anelreas was letting him near the classroom. He just didn't seem to understand what magical and dangerous creatures meant.

Seeing Professor Dainsie in this room instead of her tower from previous years was a bit odd to Anelreas. She had loved Professor Dainsie when she taugth Astronomy and thought she was perfect for the job, what with her quiet nature. Even the thought of seeing the woman teach students about wild animals seemed unreal.

Laura walks into the classroom and looks around for her older sister. She sees her sitting in the front of the classroom and joins her, also taking out some parchment, ink, and a quill. She whispers a 'hi' and then remains quiet, waiting for the professor to begin class.

HPLover176 09-11-2005 12:02 AM

*Cari enters the class room and sits at a wooden table puts her bag down and gets her book out and then looks around in surprised at the smell and sounds she hears like she has never heard the sounds before then cari looks up at the professor as though she is about to speak*

Sunny_Frog 09-11-2005 12:04 AM

Sunny enters the classroom, a little nervous because it was her first class at Hogwarts. She looks around for any Gryffindor students, and sees none. She decides to sit behind the two Ravenclaw girls sitting in the front. She takes out a few pages of parchment, some ink, and a quill and waits for the Professor to start class.

CriticalCoke 09-11-2005 12:04 AM

Christina walked into the room and took a seat. She looked around the classroom. Christina loved muggle animals like dogs and cats but she had never been around a creature from the magical world. She looked at them in awe. The creatures were so different and she couldn't wait to learn about each and every one of them.

empty_soul 09-11-2005 12:05 AM

Unsure of wat to expect, empty walks into the room, and examines everything in her path. She finds a seat near the window, but close to the front. She quietly sits in her desk and waits.

EmmaFan#1 09-11-2005 12:07 AM

Karen practically races into the classroom and then slows to a stop, looking around for a place to sit. Thinking that the back was definitely a safe spot, she sits near the end of a row near some other Slytherin students. She takes out the necessary supplies for class and looks around the room, waiting for class to start.

aiangel327 09-11-2005 12:09 AM

Jen enters the room and smiles at Professor Dainsie. She takes a seat near the front of the room and quietly waits for the lesson to begin. She looked around at the seemingly odd assortment of objects and stared blankly at the walls.

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 09-11-2005 12:09 AM

Nadia walked up towards the grounds of the castle and then into the stone walls, rounding it and finally finding the entrance to the outside classroom and taking a seat in a random desk. She didn't feel talkative, but at least wasn't furious like previous class. More like, she was indifferently-blue but with a normal skin color. If that made any sense...

Melanie_Woodbane 09-11-2005 12:11 AM

Mel rushed in, hoping she wasn't late. Looking around, she realized that she still had time. She sat down, with a sigh, ready to start.

aftonhouse74038 09-11-2005 12:12 AM

Afton entered the room and waved madly at Professor Dainsie and went and sat in the very front of the room.

SUPERQUEENRD 09-11-2005 12:15 AM

Roxanne walked into the classroom and sat on a free table. She took out her book, some parchment, and her favorite quill. While sitting on her seat and admiring the Phoenix on the professor's table, Roxanne was thinking if Kellie was going to be in the class. "I mean she's the only person that I know," she muttered to herself. Moments later, the Professor entered the classroom and Roxanne snapped out of her thoughts.

Mistress Vondella 09-11-2005 12:16 AM

Linnea walked into the classroom, unsure of what to expect. She looked around at the other students and felt relaxed by the phoenix singing while sat on the professors desk. She smiled. Maybe this class wouldn't be so bad, and the professor good as well. She found a seat and sat down, waiting for class to begin.

Laurasia_Malfoy 09-11-2005 12:16 AM

Laurasia entered the classroom & smiled brightly at Professor Dainsie. "Hello Professor. It's good to see you again."

She turned & found a vacant seat. She quickly sat down & awaited the beginning of the lesson.

Dainsie 09-11-2005 12:17 AM

Hello everyone, its so good to see all your smiling beautiful faces again!

Just a few announcements while we wait for more student...

I would firstly like to make you aware of the Magical Creatures hospital that is located on the grounds. It's a great place to visit to just look around, or if you would like some more practical experience with some animals, I can always find something for you to do.

Secondly, I want to introduce to you my Phoenix. Her name is Artemis. Her name is from Greek mythology; Artemis is goddess of the moon and the hunt. She is known as "the lady of wild things." She is very intelligent and friendly if you would like to say hello.

And lastly, I have a large cage of baby Pygmy Puffs that I need to find homes for. They come in three colours: baby blue, pale pink, and pale lilac. If you would like one, they cost 5 sickles. You are most welcome to keep them on your desks during class, or on your shoulder if you wish, as they make no real noises other than light hums. They are great pets because they are very easy to look after, and you really can have them with you all the time.

If you would like one just go to my office anytime.

Makani 09-11-2005 12:20 AM

Anelreas smiled at the Professor as she began addressing the class.

They had a hospital for creatures now? She'd have to send Tobias there sometime to check his sanity and stability in this world. Ever since Edgar took a few claw fulls of fur from Tobias, the creature had been more paranoid than ever and only let three pick him up. Anelreas wasn't one of them, which was a relief to her.

She smiled at the thought of having a baby Pygmy Puff. They were cute creatures, but Tobias would make a meal of it the first time he saw it, so the notion was out of the question.

siriusblacksgirl 09-11-2005 12:21 AM

Shelby enters the classroom and sits in the front.She smiles her sweetest.

Mistress Vondella 09-11-2005 12:22 AM

Linnea smiled at the professors offer to sell pygmy puffs. She had meant to get one while in Diagon Alley, but needed to get her sister's present first and had been unable to get back to purchase one for herself.

She waited in silence for class to begin.

aftonhouse74038 09-11-2005 12:22 AM

"Oh Professor! may i have 2? a pale pink and pale liliac? please?"
She jumped up and grabbed 10 sickles out of her bag and rushed forward.

Draco's Gurl 09-11-2005 12:26 AM

Sara quickly sat down hearing the prof. start speaking. Oooh she wanted a pygmy puff. A pink one perhaps.

kimberly_and_harry 09-11-2005 12:26 AM

kim walked into the classroom and took a seat in the front of the class, kim looked around the room, . Being raised by her that was muggle she found some magical creatures quite unnerving.So she listen to Professor Dainsie say baby Pygmy Puffs that I need to find homes for.That they are 5 sickles.After class she was going to buy one.Then she waited for the leason to start.

aftonhouse74038 09-11-2005 12:29 AM

Afton felt bad for not wanting a blue one.
"Erm can i have a baby blue one too?"
She pulled out 5 more sickles.

siriusblacksgirl 09-11-2005 12:31 AM

Shelby looked in her money bag.She had 100 sickles.I'll get three all of the colors.She thought.

Marianuca Sugusdropplet 09-11-2005 12:34 AM

Marianuca loves animals.... Not snakes or spiders, but any other animal. She lokks longily to the little lilac furry thing the Professor is showing.... But she knows that her cat, Pelucho, would only think of having an amazing great time with the little thing. Cats are not evil or bad, they just act as their instincts tell them and their instintct tells them "hunt-play-eat". Not a good idea.... Maybe some of her classmates would let her pet every now and then one of their Pygmy Puffs.....

william.cook1990 09-11-2005 12:34 AM

Xavier smiles. He would love a pygmy puff except for one reason. His cat would obviously think it was a treat. Knowing that wouldn't go to well in Professor Dainsie's book he decides that he should hold out on buying a pygmy puff. There were probably other people who would enjoy them more.

Martha 09-11-2005 12:35 AM

Martha became excited when she saw the Pygmy Puffs. She had always wanted one, and now a Professor was selling them at school. She raises her hand and says, "Professor Dainsie, may I have a blue Pygmy Puff please? Martha digs in her robe and finds 5 sickles.

Marianuca Sugusdropplet 09-11-2005 12:36 AM

siriusblacksgirl 09-11-2005 12:37 AM

Shelby walks up to the front of the room."Professor Dainsie.Can I have three?A light blue one,pink,and lavender?"She asks.

Mistress Vondella 09-11-2005 12:38 AM

Linnea looked around, amused, disguested, and irritated all at once. The professor had said to go to the office to purchase one. Not bombard her all at once for one.

siriusblacksgirl 09-11-2005 12:39 AM

Shelby hands the professor 15 sickles "Thank you"

Marvolo 09-11-2005 12:40 AM

"i'll have a light blue please"he saw shelby"hello shelby"marvolo hands the proffesor 5 sickles."thanks"

aftonhouse74038 09-11-2005 12:43 AM

ooc- did you mean to actually go to your office Dainsie, i thought that ment we could also go to your office if was wanted one later...and seeing as you put we could keep them at our desks or on our shoulders i thought that ment we could get them now. or am i wrong..if i am, ill edit my posts.......

Afton looked around at all the people wanting one of the puffs.

siriusblacksgirl 09-11-2005 12:44 AM

Shelby sits down with three pigmy puffs on her shoulder."Hey Marvolo.You haven't seen sara around have you?"

Marvolo 09-11-2005 12:46 AM

"not really.why?"he said sitting next to shelby.

siriusblacksgirl 09-11-2005 12:48 AM

"Just wondering."Shelby replied

Dainsie 09-11-2005 12:48 AM

After the lesson girls, I said you must go to my office to buy them.

Now! Who can tell me the year that the definition of a Beast was finally accepted by the majority of the Magical community?

aftonhouse74038 09-11-2005 12:49 AM

ooc- to marvolo and siriusblackgirl: you shouldnt have conversations in the classroom its unwise. i suggest you take it elsewhere.

Afton nodded and settled down at her desk once again.

Draco's Gurl 09-11-2005 12:49 AM

Sara was bored at all the people buying pygmy puffs. She wanted class to truly begin.
She saw Shelby and Marvolo and sighed. Thank God she had picked the back of the class to sit.

tonks7 09-11-2005 12:50 AM

Mark raised his hand and said " in the year 1811 is when it came official"

Draco's Gurl 09-11-2005 12:51 AM

Sara sat up. Class was finally getting started.

'1811, Professor'

siriusblacksgirl 09-11-2005 12:53 AM

Shelby listened while mark said his answer.

siriusblacksgirl 09-11-2005 12:54 AM

Shelby sighs.

That's right! 2 points.

Does anyone know who the Minister for Magic was at that point? He played a very big role in the shaping of Magizoology.

CriticalCoke 09-11-2005 01:00 AM

"Grogan Stump was the Minister of Magic, Professor"

Makani 09-11-2005 01:03 AM

Anelreas raised her hand. "The Minsiter at that time was Grogan Stump."

Ama 09-11-2005 01:07 AM

Amaris continued to twirl her quill between her fingers. She had still failed to answer a question. The next one she would answer. The next one was hers. Totally.

angelmonkey 09-11-2005 01:09 AM

angel sat nervously at her desk. her quill, paper, and ink were sitting nicely on the desk, but she was too uncertain of herself to answer a question yet.

Dainsie 09-11-2005 01:10 AM

"any creature that has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to be part of the responsibility in shaping those laws" Mark said

Aaaaa
 
Amaris raised her hand doubtfully. Then brought it back down. Good...I think. Don't answer you idiot. Amaris whined and started to doodle around her notes.

aiangel327 09-11-2005 01:15 AM

Jen stared blankly ahead. She tried to focus as she began writing down what had been said. She almost raised her hand to answer, but couldn't for the life of her remember what the question was. Sighing she sat, quill poised above the parchment ready to record the answer.

Christy_Horcrux00 09-11-2005 01:15 AM

'A Beast is a creature who doesn't have control of her natural brutality and cruelty' Christy said

Makani 09-11-2005 01:16 AM

Anelreas blinked. She wasn't sure what the Professor was asking the definition of. She blinked again when students began giving the definition to merlin knew what. She has began to felt daft, but not as much as a rock.

Mistress Vondella 09-11-2005 01:19 AM

Linnea took notes on the questions and the answers being given. She hated to admit it, but had to. When the ministry took over last term, her interest in classes took a nosedive and she seemed to have forgotten some information she should have known. She continued to take notes and waited for something that she'd know.....

angelmonkey 09-11-2005 01:20 AM

angel hoped that her lack of knowledge was due to her being a first year. boy she thought, there were quite a few people in here that knew much more than she.

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 09-11-2005 01:24 AM

Nadia bit her lip as she heard the professor making introductions to the class and about her phoenix. In a way, she only wondered what was Sparky doing this same minute.

In another way, it only reminded her to check with Zekke about her, which she hadn't already and had her a bit worried. And the third and more pressing matter at the moment, actually, was that she was worried she never got to tell her mother she had, let's say, 'lend' Sparky to Zekke. There hadn't been enough time.

On the other hand, she didn't know she wanted any pets. She felt she had failed with Sparky in a way, so why ruin another poor creature life at this point?


Quote:

Excellent, 3 points. Now for 5 points, who can give me the definition?
Nadia perked her ears up at the class started, attentive for the next question since her wavering attention wasn't there at all. She raised her hand, "Magizoology is the study and classification of creatures who fall into the cathegory of 'magical'."

SUPERQUEENRD 09-11-2005 01:27 AM

Roxanne was confused at the Professor's question. She was about to raise her hand to ask about the definition of what exactly, but hesitated. Roxanne sat there taking notes and hoping that she would get to answer even just one question later.

Dainsie 09-11-2005 01:32 AM

Fantastic! 5 points!

Next we shall talk briefly about the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, then we will get into the fun stuff.

[OOC: I will be back in a few hours to continue the lesson to ensure that people in all time zones get a chance to participate.]

XxNoelxX 09-11-2005 02:24 AM

Noel nodded at the professor's statements and listened carefully to the other student's answers. She thought about perhaps getting a pygmy puff for her little sister, but she didn't think her father would appreciate any more magic in the house. He would always say that his daughter was enough. Noel smiled a little as she thought of him and how irritated he got at the smallest things. Despite his angry demeanor deep down he was really soft, and Noel knew exactly how to get to him.

HPhobbit 09-11-2005 03:21 AM

Pacilla listened intently to the Professor as she spoke. When she saw the pygmy puffs, she got all excited because she loved them. She considered the possibility of buying one after class, but wondered what her cat Pepper might think of it. When she realized the teacher was starting the lesson, she decided to think about pygmy puffs later and focus on class. She diligently took notes on everything, but had not yet been able to answer as someone always answered before her.

hockeyplayer17 09-11-2005 03:29 AM

Ev layed back and watch other students anwser the question all he cared about was getting to the fun part.

LilyBlack 09-11-2005 04:34 AM

Lily sat in her seat takin notes.'Hope I do good this year.'
Hearin the teacher conferm the definition Lily wrote it down.

Dainsie 09-11-2005 05:10 AM

Professor Dainsie continued...

Now, have we all heard of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures?

She looks around to see most people nodding.

Well I know it might sound slightly sinister, but they regulate not only dangerous creatures like Dragons and Manticore's, but also things that are cute and harmless.

They have a very strict set of rules that helps to make the world safe, not only for us, but also for the magical creatures. They also have methods in place to ensure that the Muggles stay protected and un-aware of most creatures. Can anyone name the five main things they do to make sure this all happens smoothly?

Hint:
1. Safe _____
2. _____ __ selling and ________
3. _________ Charms
4. Memory _____
5. The Office __ ___________

Makani 09-11-2005 05:14 AM

Anelreas blinked (she did that a lot with the Professors classes) and thought for a moment. "Safe Handling?" She voiced, though was sure that possibly couldn't be one of them. "Memory Charms?" She guessed again. She was hoping the latter would be right.

slipstick 09-11-2005 05:20 AM

*Mickey watches the professor intently.*

Ah will NOT fall asleep. Ah will NOT fall asleep.

Ama 09-11-2005 05:20 AM

Amaris raised her hand.


"Safe Habitats, memory charms, disillusionment charms, The Office of Misinformation, and Controls on Selling and Breeding."

Well, talk about sounding like a robot. Amaris brought her hand down and fiddled with her quill.

SUPERQUEENRD 09-11-2005 05:21 AM

The professor had asked another question but yet Roxanne didn't know anything about it. She had some ideas of what the answers are but she doubt that they were right. So she just sat there listening intently and took notes. "Wow I hope I could at least answer one," she thought.

demented_death_eater 09-11-2005 05:25 AM

Kay raised her hand.

"1. Safe Habitats
2. Controls on selling and breeding

3. Disillusionment Charms
4. Memory Charms

5. The Office of Misinformation"

Makani 09-11-2005 05:27 AM

Anelreas sunk down in her chair as only one of her answers had been right. She should stick to answering only the questions she knew. Which wouldn't be that many, she feared.

Dainsie 09-11-2005 05:35 AM

Well, talk about sounding like a robot. Amaris brought her hand down and fiddled with her quill.

That's right! 5 points.

But by far the most important thing they have done is give classification to the wide variety of animals that live in our world. What are the three categories that magical creatures are broken into?

quidditch_chick 09-11-2005 05:38 AM

Kali raised her hand, "Beast, Being, and Sprit divisions."

Ama 09-11-2005 05:39 AM

Amaris frowned and chewed on the inside of her cheek. She didn't quite understand the answer which meant she probably didn't know the answer. Amaris sat silently and glanced at Anelreas. She shrugged and waited for the class to proceed.

Makani 09-11-2005 05:40 AM

Anelreas knew this question. Her hand was halfway in the air when she heard the answer. With a glower at the Ravenclaw, her hand went down to the table, low grumbling hidden under her breath.

demented_death_eater 09-11-2005 05:41 AM

Kay nodded her head in agreement with Kali's answer.

Meandering 09-11-2005 05:43 AM

Peony looked at the professor, looked down again at her mess of papers, and tried to organize everything. It was a worthy thing to do, but not in the middle of class when she should have been listening.

Dainsie 09-11-2005 06:31 AM

Correct, 2 points. This year we shall be focusing on Beasts.

Beasts are then sub-classified by a Ministry of Magic classification guide, that rates them accordning to their danger to humans. The classifications go from X (the leaset dangerous) to XXXXX (the most dangerous).

Can anyone name 2 creatures that have a XXXXX rating?

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 09-11-2005 06:35 AM

Nadia raised her hand: "Acromantula and Dragons."

william.cook1990 09-11-2005 06:39 AM

Xavier raises his hand, happy that he knew the answer. "I believe the Lethifold and the Manticore are both on that list," he says.

Meandering 09-11-2005 06:55 AM

"Dementors and," Peony glanced at Xavier, unhappy that he had gotten the second part of her answer, "Lethifolds."

katep 09-11-2005 07:21 AM

Kate had raised her hand, "Dementers" Kate had said, "Oh but maybe they are considered beings. I'm not sure, do they really have self-conscienceness? I'm guessing that's what separates beasts from beings." Kate sighed. She didn't know alot and it seemed like many of the students knew a lot more than she did. "What about a basilisk?" Kate asked hoping she was close to being right.

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 09-11-2005 07:52 AM

"Well, actually..." Nadia said both meaning to Peony and the Gryffindor girl she didn't know, "Dementors aren't rated because they are in the Division of Spirits... though I don't doubt they would be considered very dangerous," she added as an after-thought.

She nodded at the Basilisk idea, though, and kicked herself on not mentioning her favorite creature and that which she used as nickname.

Lee who was sitting silently at the back rose his hand lightly and said "I believe Chimaera and a Manticore". Lee said quite pleased with himself that he could answer a question. He went back to his note taking and swinging on his seat.

Ozzy quietly joted down some notes. After a while he raised his hand and cleared his throat... "Werewolves and Nundu's." He said a bit quietly. "I guess its a good thing dad let me read some of his old school books before I came here". He though to himself and joted down some more notes.

Marnie raised her hand and said in a timid voice 'I read somewhere a Nundu is one of the most dangerous creature in the world , and a Manticore '
She then went back to taking notes .

Excellent! What intelligent students I have...

2 points to Nadia, Xavier, and Ozzy. 1 point to Lee, and 5 to Kate for creative thinking. Well done!

There are currently only 2 creatures that receive an X rating. What are they?

Rosa raised her hand 'the flobberworm and the horklump.' she said

Adz knew the answer, but seeing somebody else get it, she decided just to take notes.

Flobberworm - They are rather plain in appearance, thick, brown, slimy, and up to 10 inches long. One end of the Flobberworm looks identical to the other, and both ends secrete mucus, which is sometimes used to thicken potions. Flobberworms have been known to eat lettuce although they will eat seemingly any other vegetation, and usually live in damp ditches. Flobberworms were given one X by the Ministry of Magic

Horklump-This is another very dull creature which resembles a vegetable rather than an animal. It looks like a pink mushroom covered in black bristles. It is an animal, however, and it uses its root-like tentacles to catch worms for food. In turn, the Horklump is a considered a delicacy by Gnomes, but nobody else seems to like it.

She wasn't sure whether or not the teacher would care about what she wrote down, she she decided it was best to have it written down anyway.

Bingo! 2 points to wizcat and 10 points to Adz for effort and information.

Now, for those of you who have read Hogwarts a History, you will know that around the time that Harry Potter was at the school, a large colony of Acromantula lived in the forbidden forest. If you haven't read it, know you know. :) They have since been contolled in numbers and stopped spreading, but they are still there. They are terribly dangerous but also very intelligent.

Does anyone know the date of the first recorded sighting of an Acromantula?

harry_luvr 09-11-2005 11:28 AM

"1794" adz answered straight away. "Do the acromantula still survive in the forbidden forest, and do they serve any use here?"

ooc:soz gtg - will be back later, ready to do well in class!

Cherry tried hard not to let out a deep sigh. She was terrible at this subject. The only reason she had taken on this subject was because she still had no idea what she wished to do in the future, although it seemed so far off, and an extra subject was sure to come in useful.

It was probably just the feeling she got whenever she was asked to work with animals. Her work in Transfiguration with a mouse had nearly got the little beast killed, and although wands weren't of the utmost importance in this subject, she still felt slightly uncomfortable. So when Professor Dainsie suggested that students could go help her with some of the animals, she decided she could go, at least, once. Perhaps a little bit more of experience away from the classroom, would help her overcome her fear.

But for the moment, Cherry just listened and took notes and made a mental note to go and look up some things about the creatures mentioned in the lesson in the library later.
