Making loud screech in order to make the outside scream go away, he was tired of everything that was going on. All this is one day was way too much for him and at one point, he wanted a quiet time where he could sleep. This bag was as good as any, pushing one book outside the bag in order to have more place, he let out a sighed.

"Professor! Professor!" Anna called out. "We have a problem...there's a...a...a something back here!"

Anna reached down to pick up her book that had landed near the creature. Kerry was now yelling, and several students had turned around to look. Gwen was going on about kappas, creatures Anna HOPED were not actually in the bag. Peering down for a closer look, Anna waited to see if the...whatever...would come out.

Listening to the others around her and the Professor, Savannah jumped at the sound the Gryffindor Prefect let out, making a scribble mark on her parchment by mistake put didn't pay that any attention. Instead she gazed down at the ground near the Seventh years feet, looking to see if something was down there. Just like afew others, before Kerry said anything, she too noticed the bag moved abit. Not normal, to be honest. Not if the person it belonged to was freaking out.

"Yeah..it moved, your not seeing things Kerry." She spoke up quietly, not sure if that was wise since Professor Clark was teaching but nonetheless. What happened next? It SCREECHED! Ocean blue eyes widened. She knew that screech, it was the same as that crazy monkey from earlier. "I believe its a monkey, and he has taken over your bag." Savannah added, nodding. Better the monkey then the cheetah.

"Ok! Now I know I'm not the only one who heard that!" Kerry said aloud to the class. "There is definitely something there! I know there was nothing in that bag but some books, quills and parchment when I got here, so who wants to tell me what they put in here?" Kerry asked as she turned back and focused her wand on the bag.

"A problem?" Kerry laughed, glad that she was finally starting to calm down. "Yeah you can call a screetching, moving bag a problem. Uh oh... Ummm..." Kerry suddenly thought, "You don't think it's one of those animals that has been running around the grounds and castle?"

Kerry bent down a bit closer to her bag, but was cautious not to get to close. "Should I open it Professor?" she asked.

Anna continued to lean and lean and lean. She was finally face to face with the bag. She gently guided her hand closer and closer to the bag, pausing only to look at Kerry to check her reaction.

Anna's fingers finally touched the edge of the bag, and she tugged on it just a bit.

Throwing a quill outside the bag, he open a bottle of ink and stretched out his tiny hand in order to let out all his content on the floor and then throwing it away. As he did it, he touched something (Anna's hand) and a scream cames out of his mouth. Getting his hand back in, he was afraid that it would happen again. Only few things were left with him in there and he didn't mind them. They were a bit comfy after getting the reminding books out. Yawning with satisfaction, he rolled on the side.

Okay! Lyra was happy now because the monkey was back. "Agie," she whispered loudly with a giggle. "Do you still have those bananas? Give me one!" She hoped that Agie hadn't eaten all the bananas from the time they left the lake to the time they had arrived in class otherwise, they would have to come up with Plan B and quick.

"A monkey?" Kerry asked turning quickly towards Savannah. "Are you sure?" Kerry laughed in surprise.

"How did a monkey get in my bag.? She wondered aloud.

Turning back towards the front of the class, Kerry shook her head still smirking. "I swear professor I didn't bring a monkey to class! If I had, I would have at least brought some bananas to keep it quiet til I let it loose on the class." Kerry joked trying to make light of the situation.

"So again? Any ideas on what you'd like me to do with this little guy? I'm obviously not opening my bag and letting him free now. It seems we've finally inadvertently captured one of these animals."

Seeing Anna get close to the bag and knowing there was a monkey now inside it. Kerry grabbed Anna and pulled her back. "No don't! From what I've heard this is one grumpy, unfriendly monkey. Trust me, you don't want to lose your nose to this thing."

Anna let out a small squeal as she felt something touch her hand. The creature let out a small scream, as well, and Anna jumped a bit. Anna felt someone's hand on her back, and she looked up in time to see Kerry pulling her away. "Unfriendly?" Anna questioned. She looked back and forth between Kerry and the monkey, waiting to see what would happen next.

The bag did a turn on itself as the monkey was rolling in it. He had fun in it. It was like an amusement park inside of it. Deciding to munched on one of the parchment, he was now making squishing sound as he teeth was touching it.

"Yep, definitely mister Monkey." Savannah nodded once more. After running into him twice earlier, she knew that screech. He had also bit the Professor, then too. Thinking of that, She added "I don't think letting him out is a good idea either; he seems to like it." Vannah motioned to the objects he was kicking out to make space for himself, "And I wouldn't think he wants to make friends, anyways. Except with Professor Clarks boots, maybe." Savannah turned slightly in her seat again, looking back to the front of the class for a moment uncertainly.

Tommy was scribbling down notes like crazy. In her last school they didn't focus on magical creatures. This was all new to her. All she ever learned was magic.

She raised her hand, but being so short her hand didn't get past the top of the head of the boy sitting in front of her, so she stood up and raised her hand.

"Professor, I have read scrolls about sirens, and they said that sirens were woman, not mermaids." She didn't want to be out of line by questioning anything, but she didn't want to get confused on the whole thing either. "They said their voices had to power to lure men to their deaths."

As Kerry peered down at her bag, she saw the monkey throw a quill out the bag and ink slowly drip from it. "Hey! That's my favorite quill and OH NO you didn't you little fur ball!" Kerry yelled out "You opened my ink bottle all over my bag! Wait til I get my hands on you!" Kerry said, grabbing hold of the handles of her bag and holding them closed so the creature couldn't escape.


Kerry turned towards someone calling Agie's name and laughed. "And why would Agie carry bananas with her?" she asked as she turned towards Agie.

"Agie Rae Brandywine! You wouldn't have anything to do with this would you?' she asked glaring at her prankster of a sister.

Kerry heard Anna shriek and turned back towards her. This class had gone completely chaotic in a matter of minutes. "Yes unfriendly! It scratches and bites, it's one antisocial little thing." Kerry said holding her bag away from her so the monkey couldn't reach her through the bag.

Kerry felt the bag roll in her outstretched hands. "This thing is having a party in here!" Kerry said as she heard munching. "Nooooo!! Not my homework!! The monkey is eating my homework." Kerry sighed, "That took me ages to finish! I can just see it now as I go to hand it in... No really Professor a monkey really did eat my homework!"

Anna was torn between horror and laughter as she first listened to Kerry threaten the monkey for spilling the ink and then complain about it eating her homework. Anna sighed and dropped her head into her hands in exasperation.

Kerry had now captured the monkey and was holding it hostage inside her bag. The little monkey was surely putting up a fight, though. It was clawing and moving about in a wild manner. Anna hoped the professor would come and help soon.

Kicking with his tiny feet in the bag, the monkey was mad at the fact that someone was moving that bag other than him. Trying to throw out a half piece of parchment out of it, he was not able to do so since something seems to keep the exit shut which made him kicked even more.

Gwen laughed out loud. "I wonder who that is. After all, there aren't very many monkeys in the forest."

Kerry heard a sigh behind her, turning she saw Anna with her head down on her desk. "It's not that bad really. At least this is just a grumpy monkey. You should have been in the class when snakes were accidently set free. I'll take a monkey over a snake any time!" Kerry said trying to cheer Anna up as she held the bag steadily trying to to let the monkey escape.

Kerry wanted so badly to just give the bag a good shake and teach the devious creature a good lesson. But seeing as she was a prefect and had caused a big enough scene in the class already, she just grabbed the handles tighter together and clenched her teeth, doing her best not to go after the squirming creature that had taken sanctuary in her bag.

Claudian was taking notes on what some of the other students were saying. He stopped dead in the middle of it when he heard Kerry's commentary on men, pouting slightly offended.


And, then she did it again! 'G'ah!' He was now, officially frightened of Prefect Brandywine. Until he heard her shriek. He turned around in his seat and watched as a chittering animal that some were saying was a monkey, which one way or another had gotten itself into Kerry's bag, had most of the students as his captive audience. Thank goodness it was only a monkey. He was starting to wonder if it might've been a dark creature snuck into the room by Clark himself to give the students first hand experience.



Oh, she was going to fit right in with his grandmother and aunts.

"I heard that if you catch one, they make great sushi, and one of the best aphrodisiacs known to wizard-kind..." She looked at the other students and blushed... "I read it somewhere!"

Xana looked at her and made a face. "As they are humanoid in nature, wouldn't that make you a cannibal?" No surprise there, though, really. Everyone knew Trel was a man-eater.

Bitting the bag in order to try an opening, he was wondering if he could make it through. They were no way he was staying quiet and not fight back. At one point, he was going to get out and runs away but the one problem was how.

Turning his head to catch his prefects words...'did she just say?'... . He shut his eyes and wondered where she could've read that as he thoroughly wanted to retch. 'Mermaid meat...m'mmmmm!'



He stood alert watching Kerry's bag punch and wiggle, scared for a minute that what was inside might just break free.

Professor Clark was too mesmerized by the topic of mermaids and collecting different student theories when a commotion and certain dallying started at one end of the classroom, completely disarming him from addressing students and answering their question. Oh that annoyed him.

"Pardon me" he excused the collective student that were actually paying attention to his lesson, then directed his now furious eyes towards the disordered students.

"OY!" he called loudly, "mind to elaborate on why your screeching like merpeople above the wave, way in the back, because i certainly haven't brought any to class".

Hearing a number of other students try to get back on track and concentrate on the lesson, Anna decided to add some extra input. "To add to what I said a few minutes ago, merpeople have this charm that attracts members of the opposite sex. Mermen are said to be very protective of mermaids, too," Anna explained, eyeing Kerry's bag just a little.

Anna then realized the professor had addressed their little group, so she got really quite...while her eyes widened in horror once again.

Anna turned towards Kerry, waiting for her to explain.

Tag, having no interest in sirens or mermaids whatsoever, had been secretly dozing behind a book in the back of class when the commotion roused him from a dream (one in which he was being slaughtered bloodily by a raging cheetah).

"Hey!," he yelled with a start. "Hey, it's that monkey! Be careful! Don't shake the bag, you'll freak him out and he'll go king kong on your footwear." Tag almost said 'my' monkey, but if the creature really was a student he wasn't sure how the student would feel about that.
