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.

Karma skipped happily down to the CoMC lesson that she had been waiting for. These creatures always fascinated her, whatever it was that Professor Morgan had waiting for them.

She hummed as she walked down the pathway, holding her books in one hand and removing her jewelry with another. There were rumors of what it was for today, NIFFLERS! Those little buggers were crazy, seeing as how Cam's attacked her last year for one simple, small necklace. Eep!

"Morning Professor Morgan," Karma said, stopping by the cages. "Aww, they're cute. Did I miss any jewelry?"

No earrings, no necklace, no rings (as if she would ever have one, PSSH), hopefully she had gotten everything.

Yawning, Kiri stumbled down the path to the paddock where the Care of Magical Creatures lesson would take place. Ever since the flooding of the dungeons, she'd slept badly, frequently waking up from nightmares full of swirling water. Classes kept her mind off of it for the most part, but by now she was pretty tired and no clue what would make it better.

As instructed by Professor Morgan, she had no shiny objects on her person. The only piece of jewellery she possessed, a delicately crafted bracelet her grandmother on her mother's side had left her, was safely stowed away in a box at the bottom of her trunk. She never dared to wear it anyway.

Kiri saw she was one of the first students to arrive. A few metres in front of her, she spotted Raiden, which brightened up her morning considerably.
"Good Morning, Professor," she said courteously, stifling another yawn and joining Raiden.
"Hi Raiden."

Mariel walked out to the grounds in anticipation of the first Care of Magical Craetures lesson. After reading the notice in the Ravenclaw common room, she made sure to wear her hair down without any of her shiny barrettes present in her locks. She had a pretty good idea of what they would be studying today and she didn't need any of the creatures knocking her down to root through her hair as that would be neither a pretty sight nor pleasant, not to mention the tangles she'd have to deal with later.

As she arrived, the third year noticed that she was only one of a few students present. Must be early. Shrugging softly to herself, she turned her smile towards the teacher and the creature in her arms. "Hello, Professor," she greeted the teacher. Yes, she had been right about the subject matter, she thought, looking down at the animal. Very cute, but awfully incorrigible.

Hayley was sooo excited! She loved animals and stuff, and she was sure Care of Magical Creatures was going to be her favorite class. Humming happliy to herself, she wandered over to where the lessons were taking place. Noticing the cute fluffy creatures she squeed a bit "*Squee!*"

"Hi Professor," Hayley said shyly, twiddling with her hair a bit. Happyhappyhappy...AMINALS!

Oh this was going to be an intriguing lesson.Having been asked not to wear anything shiny,which admittedly she never did anyway,Sarah was eager to find out why.
Walking down to the paddock she could see the Professor holding something black...and furry.
"Hi Professor Morgan!" she said,breezily. "Oh what a cute little thing!" Sarah was going to ask if they could touch it,but thought it best not to.Might not be as cute as it looks.

She then saw Mariel and strolled over to stand next to her. "Hey,do you know what that is?" she enquired,pointing at the creature in the teacher's arms.

Ricco had a feeling he knew what the class was going to be about when he read the announcment on the notice board as it said that nothing shiny could be takien to class, so checking and double checking for shiny thinggs ricco made his way down to the COMC class when he was sure that he didnt have anything shiny. As soon as he got down to the hut Ricco spotted the nifflers sitting in the cages and so standing near the Prefect he waited for the class to begin.

Emiliano was excited for this lesson. His smile could say everything as he walked towards the class, noticing Professor Iliana was already there, holding a puffy and beautiful creature in her arms.

As he approached, he smiled.."Good day, Professor...how have you been?" He greeted. Emiliano sat and continued to glance at the creature to be studied that day. Good thing he never wore anything shiny...just those hand-bands he made sure to take out before leaving the common room.

Nifflers?? That should be a nice...and interesting lesson.

Jude skipped into the paddock. "Mornin' Professah!" he called cheerfully as he settled himself all focused on the cute little creatures at hand. Black, fluffy, adorable. This was going to be a FUN lesson, and he didn't even know what they were playing with yet. He sort of knew what they were. They liked shiny, based on Professor Morgan's warning of that on the bulletin board before it got destroyed.

He just hoped he had gotten all the shiny off. He wasn't THAT conscious about his appearance on his best days... and this certainly wasn't one of his best days, considering his common room and belongings were still flooded over.

Lettie walked down to the care of magical creatures classroom...her first class for this subject, and she really was excited. Cute little animals were nice, but so where the scaley ones that ran around on the ground so fast that you couldn't catch them...just like the lizards near the creek back home.

She got closer and saw a few little animals inside some cages. 'Awwwww!' Leticia thought and stared at them with a bright look in her eyes, 'They're so cute!' All she wanted to do was snuggle them, but no, that would be bad probably.

Kel was pretty excited for this lesson. Nifflers sounded very exciting...Magical creatures interested Kel. So...well, he arrived to the class excited, of course. Smiling as he entered the classroom, he waved at the proffessor and greeted "Good morning, Professor," very cheerfully as he took a free seat.

Isabella hurried to the Care of magical Creatures class. she didnt want to be late...as soon as she arrived she saw a couple of students were already there...she saw Professor Morgan leaning against the paddock fence and saw some black fluffy creature in her arms...Isabella shuddered instantly. she never got well along with animals...and these are magical...she reached the paddock and slowly said
"good morning Professor"

Ruby walked in a huff to COMC she had to take her jewelry off and she wasn't happy she never took her necklace off, she walked towards Professor Morgan who was leaning against the paddock fence and noticed Nifflers in her arm she shrugged and went and waited for the lesson to begin "Good Morning Professor"

Jule hurried behind Bella. She saw the professor leaning against a cage with furry creatures. She caught her breath and said, "hello professor."

Satine followed closely behind her Ravvie friends, Jules and Bella. She smiled at the professor, "Howzit, Professor!" Remembering the bulletin she did a quick shiny object and jewelry check to make sure she had remembered to take it all of...yep, that's a big positive she was locked, cocked, and ready to rock!

Herminny headed down to COMC professors hut at the alloted time and saw her down by the paddlock fence and headed down there. When she got there she thought uh, that creature is ugly and you could see it on her face about a split seccond but then she quickly put on a brave face and perked as she saw Professor Morgan and how gental and sweet the creature seemed to be.
She started to smile as she said, "Hi Professor Morgan", realizing mabe I should'nt judge a book by it's cover. Then she looked down at her wrist and saw the shiny silver bracelet her mother gave her for her birthday and quicly pushed it up her arm so it would be hidden by her robes hoping it would nit slide back down her arm as she stood there and waited for class to start.

Iris skipped over to care of magical creatures - she was really looking forward to it, because she loves animals. Iris then remembered the notice on the notice board "please do not wear anything shiny or valubal" it said, Iris couldn't think why, but she needn't worry about that - she didn't have anything shiny or valuable on her to wear! it was all still in the Girls' Dorm, and she hadn't been able to go in there at all.

Noticing a few people already here, she gave them small smiles and went over to the professor and said "good morning professor!" brightly, before turning away to see if Aaron, Mystic, Grace or Fallon were here yet, then she spotted Satine, "Hi Satine! I wonder what we're doing today? and what are those things in the crates?" she said to the purple haired girl.

Bookbag in one hand and wand in the other, Anna Greingoth headed out the Common Room and onto the grounds. The weather was nice today. As a matter of fact, it was the perfect weather for the first Care of Magical Creatures lesson. Anna wondered briefly what the topic of today's lesson would be. Hmm...nothing shiny...nifflers, maybe? That'd be fun! Hopefully it'd be just as exciting as the dragon lesson from the end of last school year! Either way, Anna was sure Professor Morgan had something wonderful up her sleeve!

Approaching the paddock, Anna took in the sight of Professor Morgan, cradling a small, black, fluffy creature in her arms. "Good day, Professor Morgan," Anna greeted, pausing just briefly to glance at the creature before passing her by and going to take a seat. She placed her bookbag on the ground and her wand in her lap, then waited patiently for the lesson to begin.

This would have been Varius second class in which he had attended and he doubted it would be as interesting as Transfiguration was. They wouldn't be eating pastries like Tranfig, no, they would probably be feeding the pastires to some undeserving creatures! Man, Varius was not a huge fan of animals at all unless the were cute, tame and able to be pets. That's his philosophy, word.

However, he did keep in mind that he wasn't sure what animal they would be experiencing today and he made sure NOT to where anything shiny as instructed.
