| | CoMC - Lesson 3
As you wander through the grounds you notice a large rust coloured tent occupying the usual area for classes. Entering and getting out of the chill wind you see large wooden tables and stools big enough for groups of four, clustered around a fire pit in the center of the pavilion. Professor Dainsie stands inside placing a bundle of objects on every desk, as Arienh the Phoenix watches from the rafters. |

Torie raised her hand once more. "I know that the horn of the erumpent is valued because it can pierce through almost anything. It also contains a highly volatile fluid inside which explodes, so perhaps that would be valued as well for its ability to blow things up."

Astrid raised her hand again and asked, "Is it because their horns, tails, and exploding fluid are all used in potions?"

Whitney looked around her; mostly Gryffies. 'Oh dear' "It's because of their horns" she said raising her hand.

While it is widely known that the fluid is valuable, the lesser known aspects of the horn are more interesting. The horn itself is greatly prized for its strength. People have sought it for centuries for many different uses. There was one gentleman, a well known hunter simply known as Stein. What people don't know is that he sought the horn thinking he could make it into armour, or an ultimate weapon. Whether he succeeded or not, who knows..."
She gestured to the piles on the desks. "In those piles you will find some small pieces of horn for you to study. But first, instead of getting one of you to describe the creature, I would like you to draw it. You will find many coloured quills and plently of parchment. Once you are done, hold it up for us all to see." OOC: I suggest you use paint, draw and scan, or find a drawing/cartoon/something to represent it. If you simply post a photo of a rhino you wont get good marks. You have plenty of time. |

Astrid took out some charcoal, parchment and a pencil and started to sketch out her version of a Erumpent. After she was all finished, she held up her drawing for Professor Dainsie to see. "All finished, Ma'am. Hope you like it." she said.

Anna got to work on her erumpent immediately. She always struggled when the professors asked her to depict something in a drawing. She never had been the best at artwork. Nevertheless, she managed to get something on her parchment that resembled an erumpent. When she was done, she raised her hand and held up her parchment.

Torie took her time and tried to draw what she thought the erumpent might look like. She never had been a good drawer, but she chuckled at her completed work as it struck her as rather cute. "Here you are, Professor!" she giggled, holding up her artwork.
She couldn't wait to see what everyone else would come up with!

Having finished Whitney looked up than back down at her drawing. It looked a little....odd shaped. Figuring she was completely done, she held up her drawing.

Ooh, erumpents! Rapunzel was liking this lesson because she could always watch the phoenix if she got bored AND they got to color!
She got to work quickly, being careful to label her drawing with her favorite purple quill when she was done.

| be curious, not judgmental Becca, who had silently sat in her seat because she did not know much about Magical Creatures, now smirked upon hearing they were required to come up with their own drawings of an Erumpent. Well, that sounded exciting enough.
Without hesitation, Becca picked up her color-changing quill and got to work. She hummed to herself quietly, drawing what was a rhinocerous in her mind. After about five minutes of scribbling on the paper, she set her writing utensil down and held her parchment up to herself. "Pfft. I can't believe I used to get C's in Art class at my Muggle elementary school," she scoffed. Obviously she thought her work of art was quite spectacular.

| Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door Oh, this was ridiculous! Evangeline had lost count of how many sketches she had had to do this term. It seemed like every Professor was obsessed with proving them .. or her ... how absolutely awful their .. her ... drawing abilities were. And as she looked down at her work of art, Evangeline had to admit it: they were more awful then just awful.
With a sigh, she crossed her arms over the piece of paper and hid it from public's view, hoping to save some of her credibility. |

Meh. Why did they have to draw things in so many subjects?! Nancy's work was always, at least in her eyes, the worst and it wasn't going to be different today. With a huge sigh Nancy got up to get a piece of parchment and some pencils to start her drawing. Oh, she so sucked at this. Hopefully no one was actually going to look them over.
Looking at her finished drawing Nancy frowned and mentally cursed her inability to be artistic. |

| connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow Noone knew Clifford had a secret talent of drawing, not even Evangeline. He wasn't entirely sure why, but it sort of embarrassed him and grabbing himself some coloured quills he covered his parchment and began scribbling away. Goodness, he shoulda been an artist. Bwaha.
Hmmm. Bit of green there, bit of grey here. Leaning back, Clifford admired his masterpiece rather proudly before showing it to Professor Dainsie.

Sketching was Mariel's favorite part of CoMC - well, probably the only part she really liked at all. Jumping up from her seat, she walked up to the front of the class to retrieve some parchment and quills to begin her drawing. She stared at the blank parchment for a moment before realizing that this would be a bit more difficult. Unlike the clabberts which she could draw by looking at them, there were no erumpents present to provide a visual model. This would have to come from her imagination. Scanning her book for physical details of the creature, Mariel began drawing. Soon enough her little sketch was finished, and, happy with the result, she handed it to Professor Dainsie.

Zaria eyed some of the students shrewdly before replacing it with a smile and sending up a shower of sparks. "Ok, times up! Well done everyone, you will all receive a mark out of 10 for your artwork. Consider that part one of your homework, so you won't have to do more later." Going back to the board she held a piece of chalk ready. "Right, now everyone give me one notable feature of an Erumpent."

Raising her hand, Mariel answered, "The erumpent's horn is really sharp. It can pierce pretty much anything, from skin to metal."

| Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door Evangeline raised her hand and looked down at her pseudo drawing, before facing the Professor again. "Erumpent numbers are not large, because male Erumpents frequently blow themselves up during mating season." She finished with a silly giggle. Silly males. |

"Yes, 2 points!" She moved away from the board but left the contents showing. "Now we know that the Erumpent is extremely impervious to magic and dangerous. But, there is another African animal that is even more so, incurring a XXXXX rating. What does that mean?"
