Noel wrote down a few notes and all the dragon breeds she could remember reading about. |
Heshasa began to scribble down notes as quick as possible, hoping it wouldn't go any faster. |
"Oh!" Out of excitement, Birdy jumped to her feet with her hand swinging wildly in the air above her. It took her a moment to notice she was out of her seat, but it didn't seem to phase her. "Well, they're native to Hungary, you know like the name," she gave an unexplained giggle, then continued, "They're regarded as one of the most dangerous species of dragon. They have a black, scaly hide accompanied by the gold spikes running along its back and down its tail. They can shoot flames up to fifty feet, too, people say," Birdy's eyes widened crazily at the thought, "And they're eggs have really hard shells and they're grey. You know, like...cement! Yeah, just like cemement. And they're carnivorous like other dragons. Their diet consists of mainly goats, sheep, and sometimes, humans." |
Ozzy joted down some more notes as he listened closely. |

Ok next, what is the smallest species of dragon? |
Birdy concentreated for a moment. "The Peruvian Vipertooth? It's only 15 feet long." |
That's right, 2 points. They are also the swiftest in flight. Probably their most deadly feature though is that they have very venomous fangs. They also like to hunt humans, so much so that at one stage their numbers had to be culled. Does anyone else know anything interesting about them? |
the dragon has smooth copper coloured scales with black ridge markings the horns are shortand the fangs are particularly poisonous.the vipertooth will regularly feed on goats and cows, but has a liking for humans that the confederation of wizards had to exterminate a number of the dragons in the late 19th century. |
Laurasia raised her hand. "They are smooth scaled, copper-colored & have black ridge markings." |
Noel raised her hand, "If it hasn't already been said, Peruvian Vipertooths also prey on each other and sometimes spiders as well." |

Next, probably the most striking of all the dragons, is the chinese fireball. They tend to be much more tolerant of eachother than all the other dragon species, allowing 2 or 3 others to share their territory. Their eggs are also highly valued in chinese wizardry. What makes their appearence so striking? |
Erica raised her hand. "It's scarlet and smooth scaled and has a fringe of golden spikes around it's snub-snouted face and extremely protuberant eyes according to the text, Professor." |
That's correct 2 points. Anything else special about them? |
Erica raised her hand again. "The Chinese Fireball also gained it's name from the mushroom-shaped flame that bursts from its nostrils when it is angered. It weighs between two and four tonnes, the females being larger than the males and the Fireball will feast on most mammals, though it prefers pigs and humans." |
"They are sometimes known as Liondragon. Their eggs are a vivid crimson speckled with gold in appearance." Kalaya said uncertainly. She continued writing notes about what the other hufflepuff had said. |
Athena ran in and grabbed a seat, glad that she had not missed the Whole lesson. She waited patiently to hear what the topic was about while getting out pens and parchment for notes. Discovering the topic, Athena raised her hand and said, "The Chinese Firebellis especially striking by it's scarlet, smooth-scaled skin, and the fringe of golden spikes around its face. It also has bulging eyes." Athena smiled at the last part. |
"Well, they're also called the liondragon, because it's all orange like and pretty. It's eggs are really vivid red with gold flecks on them. And the fire it blows usually takes a mushroom cloud form. I also believe they're found in the mountains if you were looking for a specific region in China." |
Ntto to repeat the information, Nadia raised her hand, "The Fireball of Liondragon, as the name says, is native to the mountains of China. The outer layer of the eggs, which are bright crisom speckled with golden yellow, are used in Chinese magic - its shell, that is." |
Kalaya looked up, smiling. She had forgotten that they lived in the mountains. She added that to her notes before she continued doodling along the edge of her paper while waiting for the next question. Maybe I should make a doodle page she thought to herself. She had learned in Muggle School that some teachers disliked doodles on papers. Then again, these are just notes. She thought as she twisted a piece of her blonde hair around her fingers, trying to think of what to draw. |
olivia was amazed at all the things she was learning about dragons! furiously she was writing notes so as to not forget anything. |
Jessica wrote note after note. She was facinated by dragons, and was so intent on listening, she didn't realize that she made a few spelling errors in her notes. She set down her quill and shook out her hand, it was begining to become sore from gripping the quill. |
Wonderful! 5 points to both Erica and ladybird. Next is the Antipodean Opaleye, the only dragon to live near and in my counrty of birth. What country are they native to? |
Zekk thinks for a moment and then answers. "They are from New Zealand and also fomr Australia." He says hoping he is correct. |
That's right, 2 points. They are originally from New Zealand, but have migrated to Australia (my home country) when territory became scarce. It is unusual because it tends to dwell in valleys rather than mountains. But this also helps to hide them. It has also been said to be the most beautiful dragon, why is that? |
Jacques raised his hand. "Professor, Antipodean Opaleyes are considered beautiful because of their iridescent, shiny, pearl like scales and the fact that their eyes are glittery, multicoloured and have no pupils" He lowered his hand and hoped he had the correct answer. |
