| | |  CoMC Lesson 1 :: Nifflers
Professor Morgan was in a glorious mood this morning as she exited her office door. With a flourish of her wand, she levitated a number of large wire cages, each of which contained 2 or 3 fluffy black creatures with long snouts and flat paws.
With the cages leading the way, Iliana headed down to the paddock. She carefully deposited the cages on the ground and then withdrew a small black pouch from her robes. With a flick of her wand, its contents were instantly deposited beneath the soil. Professor Morgan had instructed the class not to wear anything shiny; she sincerely hoped that they took heed of her advice, otherwise they were going to be in for an extremely interesting lesson.
There was still some time to before the class was due to start so the professor reached down and unlatched the cage closest to her, pulling out one of the black fluffy creatures and cradling it in her arms. Then she leaned up against the paddock fence and began stroking its head while she waited for the first of her students to arrive.
OOC: Class will start shortly, please make sure that you read the CoMC Classroom Rules before attending. I've updated them today in regards to this terms' lessons. | |

Divad was anxious. He had no idea what a Niffler was or did. So he just sat there hoping others knew.

Alternately hot and cold feelings still creeping up her arm from Raiden holding her hand again, Kiri mouthed Hi to the two people she was now standing next to, a girl Raiden had called Daphne and a boy she had never seen before and who Raiden didn't seem to know, either.
She felt a small blush coming on at being introduced to a friend of Raiden's in such a way. Oh no, not in class! Kiri thought desperately, but there was no helping it. Hastily, she raised her hand and said: "Nifflers are very good at finding treasure, Professor. Even when it's buried in the ground."

Laura raised her hand. "Well," she said. "I read that they are really bad as pets, because they reck houses searching for shiny things?"

Emiliano raised his hand, ready to answer at least one fact about such interesting creatures. "...Well, they are excellent diggers, they mostly live in mines of gold...shiny things..." Too few, he needed more information. Yet, he thought it was enough, let's give a chance to the other students. ooc: Source Harry Wiki

"Well,they are strongly attracted to anything shiny, and even though they are affectionate creatures they might be hard to handle when there's something of interest to them in the vicinity. That's why they are really good for treasure hunting - I heard goblins keep them for that very purpose," she said, grinning at the thought of the goblins being nice to the nifflers. The goblins have pets... There's an odd thought.

Bowing her head slightly in respect as Professor Morgan assured her she'd take good care of their possessions - including her little silver ring -, Evangeline smiled. Well, if Professor Morgan said she'd take good care of them, Evangeline knew she would. "Well, Professor, Nifflers are creatures that are native to Britain.." Evangeline said, raising her hand and glaring at Anna who had decided to CLEARLY not follow the Professor's words and say everything she knew about the Nifflers. Hmpf. | |

Jake thought, but most of the ideas he had were being said. He raised his hand anyway. "They have paws or whatever like small spades, so they can dig... Also, they can be confused for the Groundskeeper here when you're in a bit of a temper..." he added, smiling and biting his lip at the same time.

Jack raised his hand. "Well, erm, they kind of look like moles, in my opinion, and they really like shiny things. Goblins use them a lot to dig for treasure, and generally they're really gentle but I've heard that they CAN bite--and they can destroy stuff on their quest for shiny things if you're not careful," he answered.

Sarah raised her hand in the air before she spoke. "Uhhh they like shiny stuff,Ma'am? That's the reason you asked all not to wear anything shiny,right?"
It was the best she could do,and yes she had just answered a question with....a question.

Willow, who had been very quiet the whole time, raised her hand at Professor Morgan's question, "Aren't Nifflers the creatures that some people use to look for treasures and things of that nature? Because they are attracted to shiny objects?"

Then she noticed a little firstie who looked a little scared. Giving the Professor one more smile, she moved to stand by him. He didn't need to be so scared! Shivering as a girl moved to stand by him, George looked up at her and gasped at the girl who had been wearing a prefect badge before. Why is she standing here? Have I done something wrong? He wondered, desperately trying to find a reason why she was there. Quote:

"Now class, I would like each of you to tell me one thing you know about these creatures. Just raise your hand and call your answers out." Staring curiously at the animal the professor had, George heard her speak. Worrying because he hadn't been paying attention to her words he looked around at the people sitting near him. Hands in the air? He frowned. Must have been a question. He shrugged and then stared at the animal, watching it closely in case it decided to attack him.

Reese raised her hand. "Nifflers like shiny objects. I mean- they like to search for objects that are shiny and they, erm, they also live in mines," she told the Professor.

Isabella turned to Thomas as he spoke about Nifflers being used by Goblins...
"wow...that's interesting..." she said to herself...
Bella quickly noted down the rest of the information that she was collecting...about Nifflers being in mines, good pets/bed pets,short tempered...she was roughly jotting them down and later she would cancel them if they were not correct. she looked up and waited for the professor to speak...

Kel bit his lip before raising his hand. "Well, they like shiny things..." he said, "And wizards use them to find money and stuff?" he said, not feeling very confident about his answer. He dipped his quill into some ink so he could take some notes on right answers.

Iris raised her hand nervously and said, "once, my mum told me that we couldn't have one because they can destroy your house and things very quickly whilst they are looking for shiny things."
Iris hoped that it was nifflers that her mum had told her about... the creature in magical mengerie looked just like that when she asked for one all of those years ago... when she was five.

Miles raised his hand. "If they're good for treasure hunting, d'you reckon they'd be good for stealing valuable stuff? Like .. jewellery and shiny coins?" It was just a thought, he wasn't planning on doing this himself. Mwaha. | |
