CoMC Lesson Three :: Merpeople


As you enter care of magical creatures classroom you'll notice Professor Clark has yet again illusioned the class but this time to reflect underwater scenery.

Professor Clark was seated ontop of his desk, on a weed bed he took the liberty on decorating himself. He greets you with a smile and a murmured "Hello" as you enter the class, "class shall commence soon".

Xana entered the COMC classroom and smiled at the professor. "Hello!" she said, taking a seat by Mia. "Hi.." She said softly to the Hufflepuff prefect, smiling.

Diabolica loped into class, taking a seat near the front of class and removing a piece of parchment and her raven feather quill from her duffel bag.

Hitachi slowly walked into the classroom and found a seat. "Good day, Professor!" he said merrily.

Following closely behind her best friend Emma, Anna walked into the classroom with wide eyes. "The classroom looks beautiful," she thought to herself, taking a seat near Emma.

Josh couldnt believe he was coming to one of his classes. If their was cages around he was out of here. he looked over to see rhiannon as he gave her a small wave. he walked over to mia as he spoke to her." Hey miss perfect prefect." he teased her as he then asked," what are you doing this weekend?" he thought about it for a moment as he probably should of asked how she was." how are you? Not rounding up any more animals are you?"

Amelia looked from her left to her right as students filled in, three of whom sat near her. She smiled at the older slytherin girl and said back, "Hi.." before turning her attention back to the the other students that joined her.

Not enough room for everyone near me, she thought noting that Rhiannon was last of the three to join her and had to settle for a spot near her, rather than next to her. She was feeling slightly popular today, which made her giggle quietly, to herself.



Amelia made a face as Josh called her perfect. She hated when people called her that, because it just annoyed her greatly. She giggled though when he asked what she was doing this weekend. Smirking a little, she paused, "Not hanging out with you?" she teased him back. "I'm fine but could you please sit down now. I'm trying to learn."

Hitachi scanned the classroom and decided to move and sit next to Dia. He grinned as he sat by her. "Hello Dia! How're you?"

Rhiannon saw Josh wave at her before going over to talk to Amelia, who had said hi to her earlier. Leaning forward, she whispered. "Hi Amelia. Josh, maybe you should sit down somewhere, like she said. Instead of get in trouble for who knows what." She kept an eye on Professor Clark, not knowing what he was going to do about their talking.

Willow was about to start doodling on her parchment, when she felt someone taking seat next to her. "Oh, Hello Rapunzel" Willow said with a tiny smile to the Hufflepuff, before taking out her text book. She had to admit that she was relieved that it wasn't Goodwin, or that obnoxious Gryffindor girl from Transfiguration.

This was not the moment for her to start chatting. Ravenclaw could lose points for that

"Hi," Punz muttered, not really focusing. She was still staring blankly ahead, and barely noticed the underwater theme of the classroom.

"I guess I could get my book out," she sighed, thinking out loud as she rummaged through her bag, scattering a few owl treats on the floor.

Qaz took a seat in the back, as always. She got out her quill, parchment and textebook. A definite aquatic theme today. As long as it didn't require a jump in the lake, she was up for it.

He raised an eye brow at her as he then sat down." You learning." he then chuckled. They were the torturing sort of people." What about saturday?" he asked her. He would of liked to talk to her." you know you'll have fun." he assured her.

Josh chuckled as she said they better side down some where for if they didnt they would get into trouble." more then likely he will petrify all of us and then stick us in cages." Fabian was not going to ever live that one down"how are you Rhiannon?' he asked her with a smile.

"Aright settle down" Fabian called out as he bounced off the desk and landed on his feet to get the entire class's attention.

"Today we shall cover merpeople, as most of us know. Merpeople are beings that live underwater. They have created their own cultural and social structures over many many generations. So lets start by describing them out, what do merpeople look like?".

Rhiannon's eyes widened as Josh talked about cages. "Cages?," she said in a tiny voice. As he asked her how she was, she tried to smile back. Keeping her voice low, she replies, "I'm fine. Except for the slight fear of the professor that I just developed, thanks to you."

She looks down at her hands on the desktop and is cheered up by the sight of her mother's ring on her right hand. She was really happy that she had finally heard back from her cousin, and that his letter had contained this tiny part of her family. Glancing back up, she noticed that class had officially started. Now that it had, no one was going to get her to be in a conversation if they tried.

Lyra strolled into the classroom and noticed...yet again...Josh and Mia. How typical of the situation at hand. Her eyes narrowed for a moment and then she smiled, half evil. She walked over to a table, slammed her books down. She was more impressed that Josh was even here for class. She took a seat, pulling out her things needed for class.

Anna quickly skimmed over a page in her textbook. Raising her hand, she replied, "Merpeople have grayish skin and long, wild hair. They have yellow eyes and wear a string of pearls around their necks. Their teeth are known to be broken, too. They have a powerful, silver fish tail to swim under water. From the middle up, they look like a human," Anna explained.

Christian leisurely strolled into the class, Shadow bouncing at his heels. The boy definetly was happy and his kitten was channeling the energy. Christian lightly chuckled and made his way to a desk before Fabian started speaking, sitting down and getting out a quill and some paper.

Shadow, on the other hand, had other plans. Sitting was not for this kitten. That leafy stuff looked good. Shadow wandered over to the desk that had Tall Man But Gives Good Treats sitting on it, and he started nibbling on a bit of the weed bed.

"Don't they have like the tail of a fish instead of legs...but the upper torso of a human? So...a fishykindaperson?" His eyes darted to Lyra, who looked a little frazzled. Oh dear.
