Had he given away the class? He'd only taken a guess! How was he meant to kn - OOOH! "That's Uruz, right?" Clifford tried, hand held high in the ai as he wiggled his bottom further into the warm pillow.

Told you she was mean. TOLD YOU! That was a glare. He saw NO smile... it was a glaaaaare. SHE... siiiiiiigh.

As Jake sat down, the warmth in the cushion startled him, deciding to be insolent use his initiative, Jake pulled the cushion away and planted his butt on the cold floor.

But still, he raised his hand, for some strange reason. "It's thuuhhhhhhh... U... ooooohr-... ooh-ruuuzz... erm..." Jake trailed off, squinting one eye. "What they said."

Lucy stared at the rune and flipped through her textbook, trying to find the same rune. She found it and raised her hand. "Is it Uruz professor?" She asked unsure of her answer.

Demetria raised her hand. "It's the Uruz, right?" Merlin, she hoped she was right.

Making her way into the paddock, Professor Morgan was pulling behind her a large, mighty-looking creature. "Professor Lupa, are you ready for us?" She asked, closing the gate behind her.

"Yes... Uruz, you are all correct!" But her eyes fell on the large majestic and fairly scary creature. "Yes Professor Morgan... Please..." She turned to the students and said "This is your suprize. You are in a joint Runes and Creatures class." She jumped up and down and clapped.

Lucy turned to see Professor Morgan enter the classroom and waved at her. Then she saw what was behind Morgan and Lucy's green eyes widened. 'What.Is.THAT!' She stared at awe towards the magnificent looking creature. Lucy wanted to get out of her seat and go examine it, but she kept her butt firmly glued to her seat, not wanting to lose points for her house. She turned towards Professor Lupa and smiled. A combined class, that would be fun.

Chris turned when he saw Professor morgan. He smiled at her then saw the animal she was carrying behind her. "Wow, what is that?"

Victoria stared at the creature, it was so beautiful. Wow a ancient runes and a care of magical creatures lesson together.

William, who had been too cozy to even answer the question looked up as the gate opened, his eyes widening as he saw professor Morgan enter with a creature. He had never seen anything like it before and his curiosity was peaked. Nodding his head in her direction, along with a smile he turned back to professor Lupa, a grin forming on his face as she mentioned a joint class. How cool was this?!? Sitting up straighter he paid more attention than before wondering what kind of class they'd be having.

Herminny's eyes widened as she saw this huge creature being led out by Professor Morgan. A COMC and Ancient Runes class together, this was epic.

Anna started to raise her hand and state that Uruz was the second rune of the Elder Futhark, but she stopped when she noticed Professor Morgan making her way into the paddock. Anna's eyes first widened, then narrowed in confusion, as she took in the sight of the large...very large...animal the professor was pulling. Whoa. That was seriously massive creature! Anna's eyes flickered from Professor Morgan to Professor Lupa, then back to the animal.

Well, one thing was for sure. This was going to be an interesting lesson indeed. It'd be fun to see how Uruz tied into this massive beast being towed in.

Nancy's head jerked around at the sound of Professor Morgan's familiar cheerful voice, and her blue eyes moved from what they had just been intently staring at - which was a small lonely brownish colored leaf which had somehow managed to still stay on a nearby tree - to be able to get a glance of what exactly it was Professor Morgan was pulling along behind her.

Well, in the end she got more than just a glance of the thing actually. It was huge. And looked quite creepy to be honest. And strong. And...eep! What the heck was that thing?! Blinking a few times in utter surprise Nancy automatically repeated what somebody else had already asked, "What is that?! Is it...uhm...dangerous?!" It certainly looked like it was.

Satine was so excited about a joint class....mainly because she loved CoMC...and having that mixed with runes would make runes way more fun...she couldn't wait to see what the class held.

Thomas was kind of shocked he had no idea that this is going to happen. He looked at the creature and it looked quite harmless.

Jack looked up as the animal was lead in. His first reaction was it was some sort of cow. What on earth did it have to do with Ancient Runes?

The professor led the ginormous creature around the outer edge of the paddock, (ensuring a safe distance from the students) stopping just a few feet to the right of Professor Lupa. She smiled at the students' welcoming faces and patted the creature's furry back. "Hello class! Professor Lupa was kind enough to ask me to join you here today." She smiled, giving Less a playful wink. "Thank you Professor." She was elated to be able to conduct a joint class with her best friend. What could be more fun than that?

"Alright class, today we are going to teach you a bit about Aurochs. These very strong and powerful creatures have been around for many MANY years. First discovered in India some two million years ago, aurochs migrated into the Middle East and further into Asia, reaching Europe about 250,000 years ago. Can anyone guess why Muggles believe them to be extinct?"

Satine thought for a moment about stories her dad and his family had told her and then it hit her, and she raised her hand, "Professor, didn't muggles hunt them into extinction?"

William eyed the creature in wonder. He had heard stories, mainly from his muggle friends of which he only had two so he decided to raise his hand. "Well Professor Morgan, they're kind of big and scary looking,. Many people would think them scary, when they're not in my opinion. They have thick hides which were mainly used as blankets to keep the muggles warm. They were considered a challenging quarry animal." he replied smiling.

"Professor dont the muggles believe they were hunted to extention?" he asked raising his hand

Thomas raised his hand and said," Maybe the Muggles think that this creature is extinct because in the past the Aurochs looked different and today they get confused and think this is a cattle." He hoped that his answer was right.

Aurochs?! Well, it did not make it any less scary looking now that Nancy knew the creature's name. At least Professor Morgan kept the thing at a rather safe distance from them. So, Muggles thought them to be extinct? Lucky them. Somehow. "Uhm...perhaps the Muggles hunted those Aurochs for, well whatever reason, their fur maybe? And well now the few remaining of those creatures have fled to some place far from the Muggles' reach."

Raising her hand, Anna said, "Long ago, back when aurochs roamed the Earth, hunting was limited to only those of a very important status. I guess...say...royal people, maybe? Anyway, muggles called gamekeepers kept fields for the aurochs to graze in, and at one point, these gamekeepers reported that there was only thirty-eight aurochs left," she said, shaking her head at the fact the animals had been hunted so often. "I guess it was pretty easy for them to keep an eye on only thirty-eight aurochs. Since there was such a small number of them left, the gamekeepers were able to easily figure out that the last of the aurochs died in the year 1627." Geez. That was long ago. Ancient, even.

Merlin, is that an Auroch?! Wow.... It's HUGE!

Rachel's gaze remained on the animal as it entered the paddock, leaded in by Professor Morgan - the CoMC teacher. Well, looks like my subconsciousness was right... Grinning, she reached into her bag to pull out the CoMC textbook and quickly added the subject to the title too.

"Professor, muggles believe that the Aurochs were hunted to extinction as well as them having food shortage due to the introduction of their domesticated form which was so different that it is now considered a complete different species I think," the fifth year answered with her hand raised. This lesson was going to be fun - Care of Magical Creatures AND Ancient Runes? It was going to be a blast!

Herminny raised her hand and said, "I believe muggles believe they hunted Aurochs to extinction."
