| | |  DADA Lesson 2: Creature Feature
Rae sat in the classroom for a long while before class finally started. The weather was bitterly cold, and she cast the same high fires in the classroom fireplaces as she had in the nursery. She tucked her hands into fur-lined pockets before returning to her seat to take up a cup of hot hot hot cocoa. She was cold, but it was more psychological than physical. She missed Doyle, and seeing others so happy made it all the worse. | |

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."

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."

"Professor, A werewolf when transformed is a fearsome beast indeed. All trace of human awareness is gone and the werewolf will attack any witch or wizard, including the werewolf's best friends. This trasnforamtion occurs only on full moon which is about every 28 days." Aurora hadnt said much in awhile. even thought everyone answered, she wanted to add her comment. | |

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."

"But like all humans, they can choose to be evil in human form, and they are significantly more dangerous." 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." | |

Esh raises his hand and looks at the professor.
"Excuse me professor, but this may seem out of topic, but when a werewolf is given the wolfsbane potion, is it merely kept under control by being put to sleep or does something else happen?"
Looks around shiftily hoping he hasn't asked the wrong question.

"But like all humans, they can choose to be evil in human form, and they are significantly more dangerous." 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...

"People didn't know how to deal with werewolves in the past and thought to exile them from society. But magic has come a long way in recent years, and a werewolf can have a very normal life and be a wonderful contribution to society. I hope you all will remember that."

They still transform, but the person in wolf-clothing can simply lay low for the night until they change back."

"A werewolf retains no vestige of their former human mind. The kindest, most generous person will still become a creature craving contamination and fresh meat. It has nothing to do with them personally, and everything to do with the dark curse that is connected to being a werewolf. Dark doesn't refer to the bodily curse, but the mental change as well."

She knew that was a kinda stupid question, but oh well... "A sufficiently Dark Wizard who also happens to be a werewolf could do great harm even in human form. They don't have the weapons of their wolf-form, but they are still able to contaminate and hurt in some fashion."
"If there are no more questions regarding werewolves, I'd like for us to move on. Let's begin the more practical portion of this class by discussing several specific creatures and some spells you might use to protect yourself. Does anyone have a creature they'd like to use for demonstration, dark or simply dangerous?"

"Perhap a boggart ma'am? I think it would give the class the widest representation of fearful, dangerous, or dark circumstances." Kennedy suggested.

"We'll do a hippogryff and then a boggart," Rae nodded decisively. "So we start with the hippogryff. Let's assume you encounter one on an illegal jaunt into the Forbidden Forest. Bad on you," she shook her finger, tsking at them.
"So... let's go through the steps of SOAR. 'S' is for surroundings. What should we take note of?"

"Well, firstly if we're in the Forbidden Forest we need to be aware that there are likely other creatures, besides the hippogriff nearby, that could enter the situation at any point. Also, the forest is full of roots of trees and uneven ground so it would be very easy to lose one's footing. Also, it is very dark due to the tree cover, so it would be challenging to see where one was going, if one needed to flee." Kennedy offered.

"Exactly, you need to be aware that other creatures could join the situation at any time, and that there are many dangerous things alive and well in the Forbidden Forest. Not all of them, but it IS forbidden for a reason. We also need to be aware of the footing and the lighting as Kennedy pointed out. Five to Ravenclaw. Kerry brings up a good point too. In a natural environment, your foe will always know the surroundings better than you. You must never let your guard down. Five for Gryffindor."
"What do we know for O? What can we discern about our opponent?"
