SUzy raised her hand, "i think that most werewolves cant help the fact that they are one. I think most of them are good genuine people."

"Well, the Werewolf used to be a human being with a heart and feelings, until it was bitten and turned into the monster. It knows why it's doing what it does, so it can think for itself to survive. I don't think it's necessarily dark, though it does have dark tendacies, like murdering people to keep itself alive. I think it feels sympathy for its victims, but it can't help itself." Ariana said, just throwing her idea out there, she shrugged and began to write everything down again, not missing a thing.

Kerry raised her hand, "Well, there are some who are werewolves by circumstance...they were bitten by one and don't enjoy or want to be one and even take wolfsbane to help themselves and there are others like Greyback who are truly evil and intentionally harm people as a werewolf.

The other thing is that a werewolf is usually just a creature during the full moon which makes it really unique...although if I remember correctly Greyback was somehow able to attack even when not fully transformed. So does it depend on the person behind the creature?" Kerry asked.

Torie thought for a moment. "When a werewolf is in wolf form, it is definitely a dark creature since it seeks to infect as many people as it can. However, when in human form, werewolves are not by nature dark, although there are those, like Greyback, who purposely sought to infect humans. I would say then that werewolves as wolves are dark creatures, but as humans can be either good wizards or dark wizards. It is not the fault of the human when they are in werewolf form since they take a temporary absence from their moral mind."

"Exactly, Kennedy. A werewolf isn't dark necessarily when it is in human form. Like any human, that person has the free will to choose whether they are good or evil. However, in wolf form, they are pure dark creature. They can't do a thing BUT be dangerous without magical intervention." She nodded at Kerry. "But like all humans, they can choose to be evil in human form, and they are significantly more dangerous."


OOC: Sorry, guys... I'm going to bed. I shall leave this open for questions at this time, but NO CHATTING.

Kaytryn, who'd been sitting quietly in the back of the room the whole class, raised her hand timidly. "Wouldn't it depend on the personality of the individual who is a werewolf? I mean, for a creature that spends the majority of its time in human form, it would depend on if they were a dark wizard/person to begin with."

Troy sat quietly in the back of the class taking notes. He raised his hand but thought again and brought it down

Kassie raised her hand, "Proffessor, if werewolves have the ability to be kind when they are not in wolf form, why do we shun them from society? Is it fear of the unknown? or is it just that we are scared?"

Sebastian rose his hand. He'd studied werewolves before, but never in depth. As this was his sixth year, it was finally time that he buckle down on the dark creatures.

"Headmistress," he started politely after being called upon. "Is it all possible for a person who has been bitten by a werewolf to use pure will power to overcome the evils of his alter ego? I know some people believe the mind is more powerful than anything."

Ariana thought this sounded right, yet she still felt it could be controlled by some means. She decided to raise her hand and ask a question, "I understand they are dark when they're in form, but professor I have read that there's been a few werewolfs who have been tame without the use of a potion or spell. When they're in their human form, they're despressed and nervous about going out and only have remorse, I understand that, but what if they also feel that way while in form? They could just hide out, fighting the urges to kill and dismember. They know they're dark but they don't want to hurt anyone, they just want to be alone."

Ariana sat back down, thinking that this was going to turn into a debate instead of a friendly class. She hoped it wouldn't, she didn't think her opinions would matter much, especially when it came to creatures. If she said what she was really thinking, than there would be trouble. Instead, she left it at that and went on to write more notes down, waiting for the pracitcal part of the lesson to begin.

Cassandra raised her hand, "Professor, can a werewolf harm someone in human form? I think I've read somewhere that one byt he bame of Fernir Greyback attacked someone while in human form, but the person did not become a werewolf, only features of it, is that true?" She knew that was a kinda stupid question, but oh well...

how about hypogryffs" Ashley asked curious of what they actually could do.

Ashley agreed"yea i like her idea better" She said and gave a smile towards Kennedy

Also the fogg and i think she has everything else covered."

Kerry raised her hand, "well first and foremost we need to realize we are entering the creature's territory and we must have respect for that, especially when it comes to hippogriffs."

"Well, we know that they are proud animals that can severely injure or maim an human. They value politeness above all else and are highly intelligent. They also demand eye contact and generally submissive behaviour."
