Default CoMC Lesson 3 :: Dragons!

Professor Morgan couldn't help the small smile that slowly formed on her face as each of her students timidly placed their wands in her waiting hands. Finally, after weeks of planning, everything was in place for what would surely prove to be the most spectacular lesson of her teaching career. Looking up, her smile widened. There was not a cloud in the sky. Not that rain would have changed the course of the day's lesson, but she couldn't help but notice how well the sun accentuated her mood.

"Come along then," she said ushering the group forward as the students arrived, her bright blue-green eyes sparkling with excitement as she watched the last few stragglers running down the rocky hill from the castle. "Today we are going to be studying one of my favorite magical creatures. Dragons!"

"Before we begin, I'd like to take this time to make my expectations for this lesson extremely clear." She said eying the class with a serious, no-nonsense expression. "As you can plainly see, there is not a dragon with us now... That is to say, no dragon with us yet." She continued. "After some strenuous planning, I have managed to arrange to have one present shortly. This means that everyone has to do EXACTLY what they are told. I will be taking points left and right if I see you take one step out of line with a dragon around." She said. "Wands won't be necessary. WE are here to protect you." She said, clearly emphasizing the 'we' but offering no other explanation.

"Now, if we are all clear, everyone please take out your textbook at this time and turn to page 257." She instructed, pointing her wand to the board. With a swish of her wrist the notice quickly disappeared and a large map now hung in its place.

SPOILER!!: Map


"Who would like to volunteer to come up front and mark where each dragon reservation can be found?" She asked.

As much as Dragons were cool, this class was starting to make Miranda sleepy. Sure they were awesome, but listening to the professor talk about himself was starting to get... Pppft, he thinks he's all that...

Head resting on her hand, Miranda watched the students go all crazy over the experiences that the professor had been through. One hop, two hop, three hop did the bunny hoppp...

"Oh yaaay!" Miranda breathed and clapped once absentmindedly. It was almost like she herself was going to play... Heh.
And what's up with Professor Lupa hopping in during class? Did she also have some extraordinaire experience with the Dragons?

But, surely, this was going to make it all interesting! Grin.

"We don't play with dragons." Ethan blinked and shot a look at Iliana. Sugar was so not a good thing. "You are welcome to sit down." Ethan gestured to where Professor Dumont had sat and eyed him for a moment. Was he eating candy too? And that poor Ravenclaw girl was salivating as if her life depended on a sugar hit. What was this world coming to?

And did you ever deal with them like we're about to do? "Empty handed", so to speak..." she raised herself a little, on the tip of her shoes, to be able to look at the professor's face better.

"Plenty of times. I have scars from claw slashes, venom, bites; it is a risk that you have to take when working with dragons. I'd like to point out here, Joanne, nobody is dealing with a dragon. You will all be having an encounter with one, providing all the rules and instructions are followed. Can anyone guess why you had to hand your wands in?"

"Very good question. The most foolish thing I have done would be turning my back on a newly hatched dragon. Or possibly apparating right in front of a juvenile Vipertooth," Ethan tapped his wandcase, "I'll show you what happened to me that day in just a moment. "I suppose you can argue that my first encounter was fairly stupid also."

"The common Welsh Green and the Antipodean Opaleye are the least dangerous to humans, but the only safe dragon is one that is unaware of your presence. And they won't all kill you, unless they are hungry or bored."

Tobi raised his hand, he knew exactly why. "Survival of the fittest, sir," He said wildly. "We're all gonna run away, and the slowest of us is gonna be some hungry dragon's lunch. No wands to save us now."

Funny though, why didn't he see or hear any hungry dragons? you'd think they'd be noisier.

Miranda raised her wand, errr, hand
"Professor, is it so that incase we freak out we dont accidentaly cast a pell at them and then run away like our life depended on it?"
Sure, why not. Miranda knew that if she had her wand with her, she definitely would have it at the ready.

Miles chuckled at Professor Lupa, who had decided to join the army of teachers who had joined the lessons. Aaaah, silly teachers. Miles raised his hand.

"So, can you tame dragons? AT ALL? Like, if you're really skilled and stuff, can they still be tamed and become all nice and kind?"

Joanne nodded at Professors Trubridge answer to her question "Oh, ok, but the word dealing has many meanings Sir, I didn't actually believe we were going to be left alone at our own luck with one dragons. " she said blushing a little, trying to explain herself "well I think that we handed our wands so no one feels tempted to use it against the dragon, break rules and endanger the entire class...right? Because, even if we tried to jinx a dragon, their skin is so strong it wouldn't do much, other than irritating them." she answered.

Herminny was eager to try to give an answer to the absolutely amazing Professor Trubridge's question and said, "I think we had to give our wands in so we could not do something stupid if we felt threatened by the dragon cause if we strike it, th dragon will probably strike us back even if ti is a small strike cause drgons have protection against magic".

The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.

William wrote everything down. This class was very informative he thought, smiling slightly as another question came to him. "Professor, why did you decide that you wanted to be around dragons? I mean with them being able to hurt you and all, wouldn't an Auror be a much safer job? I know someone already asked a similar question Sir, and it might be personal so if you don't want to answer I understand." He asked, his hand in the air and a soft smile on his face.

Cela raised her hand, "I think you took our wands so that we don't hurt ourselves or the dragon if we get scared. I also think that we wouldn't be able to see one unless it was reasonably safe, so I guess maybe there is going to be a dragon that is magically asleep or something and you don't want to risk one of us accidentally waking it up and going on a rampage."

Ohhh she could smell candy.

Abby raises her hand. "So we won't try to perform magic on the dragon. Isn't it hard to cast a spell on a dragon? There scales are as hard as an acromantula, aren't they?"

"Who would like to volunteer to come up front and mark where each dragon reservation can be found?" She asked.
Anna took notice of her professor's brilliant smile. She was obviously oh-so-excited about this lesson, and to be honest, so was Anna! Feeling another rush of excitement surge through her, Anna smiled at the professor once again. She didn't think Professor Morgan saw the smile, though. The professor seemed a bit preoccupied with the fact that the weather outside was absolutely gorgeous.

Oh! They were studying about...dragons?!?! Holy Merlin, this was going to awesome! Nearly bouncing with excitement, Anna returned to her seat and listened as the professor went over the general rules and guidelines of the lesson. Of course Anna wouldn't even think about stepping even a single toe out of line. She'd be too busy trying to convince herself to not freak out over the fact that a real, live dragon would be amongst the students and professors today. Anna wondered who the professor meant by "we," but she didn't ask. Instead, she flipped to page 257 oin her textbook and began to look for various places that housed dragon reservations.

Raising her hand, Anna said, "Well, Professor, there's a Romanian Longhorn Dragon Reservation in Romania, as well as a Swedish Short-Snout Dragon Reservation in Sweden," she said. "The reservation in Romania is actually the world's most important dragon reservations. Wizards can actually go there to study a wide variety of dragons, as well. After she'd answered, Anna glanced up to meet today's guest---Professor Ethan Truebridge.

Under one arm was a wand case, his other hand held his wand loosely.

"I suppose we are here to talk about dragons. But first, does anyone have any questions about my experience and interractions with dragons?"
Whoooaaaa. Now that was pretty cool! This dude, erm...Professor, had been in the class this entire time! Nodding slowly to indicate she was pretty impressed, Anna listened as he asked if there were any questions regarding his interractions with dragons. Anna was sure that if she thought carefully, she could come up with something to ask. Raising her hand, Anna asked, "Have you ever been able to get a dragon to act outside of what's typical for its particular breed? I understand that the Norwegian Ridgeback differs from other dragons in that it can also feed on water-dwelling creatures. Have you ever known of a different dragon breed to do this, or to do anything else it's not typically known to do? If so, could you tell us about it? If not, what sorts of traits do you imagine dragons may have that we as humans aren't aware of?" she asked. Eeepp. That was a lot. She hadn't intended to ask so many questions, but she had a feeling the professor could keep up.

"The thing is Anna, we are still learning about what is typical for particular dragon breeds. They still surprise us. And in answer to your question, the Antipodean Opaleye has been known to eat water-dwellers, usually when crossing the Tasman sea." He winked at her, "There are many behaviours that have been observed and developed into theories, I have plenty of information that you are welcome to ask me for after class if you like. But for now I think we need to carry on, don't we Professor Morgan?" Ethan looked at her questioningly.

He glanced at Barry. "You aren't perfectly safe. But as long as you all do what you are told, you will be moderately safe."

Moving on? Clifford who had been thinking about how awesome it must be to ride ON a dragon, perked up when he heard Professor Truebridge's words. Oh yes, he was ready to move on. He was ready to SEE some dragons. He was ready to have a ride on one too! WOOOO!

'Moderately safe...YEP! Knew that was coming. Which is why it makes so much sense to take our wands away.' Freya sighed a little bit and tried to relax. Maybe this class wouldn't end with half of them being killed after all. Goodness she was moody today, usually Freya would love this kind of thing. But no. Today was all about conspiracy theories and death wishes. Ugh, how horrible.

Well, Miranda had almost been right, that's something.

But now, finally, they were going to get to the point of this entire class, hopefully. They were actually going to see a dragon? Weeeeeee!

Miranda looked around the class, she was entirely sure they wouldn't actually stand so close to a dragon, but if they did, there were more than enough teachers here to help out if needed beeeee. Awesomeness!

"Well... I play with Dragons..." she said under her breath as she sat by Clifford Carden. "Pssst... So where's the dragon?" She whispered to him.

Ah. Professor Lupa.. Clifford thought he'd managed to get rid of her.. he jumped a little when she whispered to him. Well, that was certainly an improvement than trying to snog him anyway. Eh. "I dunno!" He hissed back, glancing at Morgan and Truebridge. Lupa best not get him in trouble. Hmpf. "It's around.. somewhere." How was HE meant to know!?

Moving on are we. Joanne squeezed her hands together and gave a furtive look around, waiting for a dragon to just POP out of nowhere. Moderately safe, where the words used by the professor to describe their condition towards the dragons, so Joanne prepared herself to follow orders like never before, because she DID NOT want to mess up on this class. After all, it was one of her favorite classes, one that she kept having on her NEWTS even if she didn't actually need it to her Auror career.

Annie was good at being sneaky, so good that nooooone would even notice her slink into the back of the class late. Cheyea, barefoot redheads with flaming ginger hair were TOTERLY inconspicuous.

So they were learning about dragons, right right, but where WERE the dragons? Huh? This was not cool. Zan was babbling and that other lady - why, she looked too pretty to work with creatures. She prolly never even gets her hands dirty, Annie thought, wrinkling her nose at the professor as she scooted closer to Tony.

"Psst, Tonyyyyiooo," she whispered, "Got any chocolate frogs? Think the dragon will eat a frog outta my hand?" It was worth a try, right?

Professor Morgan watched and listened with something like an awed silence as Truebridge spoke of his experiences. It was no wonder that Antonio had decided to join in the fun. Though as she caught movement again out of the corner of her eye, she turned her head sharply in time to see a very exuberant Professor Lupa make her entrance. Catching Ethan's look, Iliana shrugged and shook her head slightly.

He glanced at Barry. "You aren't perfectly safe. But as long as you all do what you are told, you will be moderately safe."
"Yes indeed, and thank you Professor Truebridge." She said sincerely. "For those of you that still have questions; don't worry. We will be covering a lot of information throughout this lesson and I believe that most of your questions will be answered. But for now, let's move on." She said, once more clearing the board with her wand.

"Let's start with dragon breeds. I'd like each of you to give me one. Just raise your hand and call them out." She instructed.

And then there were three! Iliana thought looking over at Professor Bunbury incredulously. What was there, like a large beckon somewhere drawing all the professors to the forest?

Well, THAT wasn't helpful... "Pssst... PPSSSSSSTTT!!!!" she whispered again, "so... like, are we going to ride it? Or pet it?"
