As you walk down to the grounds you see a huge bonfire, surrounded by wooden seats. Sophie is standing nearby; her pink skirt was blowing in the icy wind. Around her neck was her favourite lion tooth necklace.
It was freezing, so she stood as close to the fire as possible, waiting for the students to arrive. "Come around the fire, but don't get too close." She warned. "I hope you all brought your protective gloves, as you'll be needing them." Sophie added with a shifty smile. | |

fire crab...crab...oh!"Do they have those things, like crabs do?" Miranda said not being able to come up with the word. Gosh, those creatures started to sound pretty scary. Looking back at the castle, she felt slightly relieved that she could run up and leave those freaky monsters at any time.

"Ooh!! Are fire crabs crabby!? Cause you know that could be a very useful defense mechanism!" Dominic exclaimed suddenly, his hand shooting into the air, as he realized how similar that could be to females. Another crabby population who uses that to their advantage.

This might in effect blind them... A useful tool, no?" Surely he wouldn't mind blinding people with just your back. Quite amusing actually, it would be. "Three points to you. That could be a good tool." Sophie smiled, loving the different, out of the box thinking answers. Quote:

"Do firecrabs have great big pincer, claw thingies like ordinary crabs?" Punz raised her hand and guessed again. Quote:

They can handle something we cannot." Sophie winked and then picked up the fire repelling spray. She sprayed her entire arm and then slowly reached into the fire.

OK...two facts added to Mel's notes. They bite, they sting and shoot fire if they...are in danger. And, one more note, they suck blood? Melinda was so glad the professor had asked them to wear the gloves, put the gowns and spray that thing on themselves.

"Is it that they can handle ...fire?" Astrid asked. "and not get burned?" she added, feeling confused a little.

Then it clicked. "They can touch or handle fire without being burned!?" Dominic answered, raising his hand again.

"AHA! Their shells are fire-resistant!" Punz bounced on her toes with her hand in the air. "Or maybe their whole bodies too...are there any real, live firecrabs in that fire there?!" She was positively quivering with curiosity, but only Merlin knew why the girl was so interested in a creature that resembled a tortoise.

Now, what? The professor had just put the spray on her arm and reached into the fire without getting burned. Melinda was so amazed of the creatures, and of course, the spray they were asked to use.
"They can touch fire without getting burned...because of their shells.." Melinda thought outloud, yet it was a whisper. She quickly wrote in her notebook that little fact.

"OHHH!" Cale said with a smile, raising his hand again. "They don't get burned by fire like we do. So they can hide in the fire if something is threatening them and won't get burned, but the attacker WILL get burned if they try and follow them into the flames."

"how would you defend yourself against a fire crab?"

Melinda raised her hand. "By using the spray, a fire repellant, right? ...and the protecting gloves of course..." She quickly answered, it was obvious they would touch a fire crab.

"Perhaps with the fire repellent spray? Or maybe just not even go near them at all, when possible... since avoidance is always the best defense mechanism," Dominic suggested, with his hand in the air.

Cale raised his hand. "Well, you'd probably use that stuff we sprayed on ourselves to protect yourself from the fire," he explained, then tapped his chin in thought. "And these thick gloves we have on now for extra protection against the flames, and their claws if they happened to try and pinch you."

Defend against a fire crab? Mariel assumed that's what they'd be doing today with all the protective garb. She shot her hand in the air. "I guess we'd do what we just did, professor. Protective clothing, fire-repellant spray, right?"

Suddenly it all made so much sense to her. Astrid raised her hand and said, "Well the gloves and fire repellent spray will help to protect us ma'am but how about using a spell too. Like the Aguamenti spell."

Defend? "You run like there's no tomorrow..." Miranda mumbled. Why would anyone go near such a thing? Unless one was involuntarily near one... Miranda raised her hand "You cast aguamenti? Or some other spell that might be...useful..." Oh that was 'good answer'. Miranda felt she needed to keep her face moving for fear that it might freeze into place.

Allie raised her hand.
"Well, if you didn't have all of this protection like we do now.." she said. "You could maybe use the Aquamenti. Which would possibly put out the fire for enough time so you could run away from it. I think you should also keep a good distances away from them..since you wouldnt want you wand or clothes to catch on fire."

"Obviously you would use the protective equipment, but what if you discovered one in the wild? Then what would you do?" Sophie asked, hoping they'd understand where she was leading this to.

Based on everyone's suggestions in answers, Melinda did a quick note again. Use Aguamenti!!! Hmm...that was...obvious and Mel had not thought about it.
Then she heard the question, about confronting them into the wild. OH, dear. "Umm...we are always supposed to have our wands, so maybe using the spell, Aguamenti, can help..." She said, raising her hand, and slowly taking it down.

Anna raised her hand. "Well, the fire-repelling spray would a good idea. You could more or less block its fire from harming you. I've read of cases where powerful wizards have used the Impediment Curse on a fire crab's belly to stop it or slow it down, too."

"If I discovered a firecrab in the wild...." I would totally be mesmerized by its glittering jewel shell..."I would um, back away? Put a freezing charm on its bum?" Rapunzel was grasping at straws now, really. She was terrible at this class anyways.....sigh.

Dominic frowned thoughtfully at this new and revised question. Finally thinking up another answer, he raised his hand before blurting out quietly, "If you encountered a fire crab in the wild, then perhaps using a water spell such as aguamenti would help or maybe even using the Impediment Curse on it to slow the crab down and give you the chance to run away?"
