| | |  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. | |

Then she looked to the Professor, and waited for the Treasure Hut to begin.

I think most of you remember Jake's past lessons... more often than not he ended up on the floor. Simone absolutely beamed. She gave Jake a big smile and replied, "Thank you so much." She sat down next to him, just barely hearing what he said under his breath. She grinned a bit before adding, "Don't worry, I am very good at Care of Magical Creatures, and I tend to try and take the lead when in pairs." She blushed at that. She couldnt help that she was very good in most subjects.

She replayed his words in her head. What do we do... Oh! She got it. A little embarrassed, she said quickly: "Umm, I think we just wait until everyone has found a partner and the Professor lets us have one of the nifflers."

Naomi looked around the class for someone who was still partnerless. She was going more and more upset at the slight rudeness of her classmates. Sure she had been gone for a year but that still didnt give them the right to make her feel like an outcast. But then she saw someone looking about as distress as she was and walked up to her. "Hi my name is Naomi, do you have a partner yet?" she said with a smile. "Would you like to be mine?"

Jule didn't have a partner yet. 'Great. I'm partnerless.' She wondered if the Gryffindor girl had a partner.. "Hey, do you have a pertner already?" she asked.

She then turned to the boy she had partnered up with. "Hi Divad, I'm Iris, nice to meet you. I hope we will work well together, because I can get competitive... and with competitiveness, comes dissapointment when I don't win... But I'm just warning you now." Iris said, grinning, she then became serious, "but I'm not an outcast. Only two of my friends are here, and they partnered up, and my best friend Aaron, well, I can't find him here." she said, smiling slightly.

Melanie restlessly kicked the leg of her desk at the mention of, Dunn duuun dunnnnn, partners. Everyone seemed to be pairing off and the second year was nervous she'd be the only one left. And that might be an ency weensy bit embarrassing.
Melanie glanced around, hoping someone would ask her and she wouldn't need to go ask anyone. Cause' that would be scary...Yep.
"Annnnyone need a partner?" she asked, looking around hopefully at the other students for anyone, anyone at all. Ugh, knowing her luck she'd be the only one without a partner in the end or something awful like that.

Overhearing the boy's statement, the Professor grinned again. She loved an eager Ravenclaw. They were sure to do well today. OOC: The nifflers are still in their cages dear. Except for the ickle one the professor's holding.

He didn't necessarily care about extra credit, but he thought Professor Truebridge was alright... he still had yet to meet that little dog he'd hear about last year... and he WOULD meet it. "Sure," was all he said, turning back to his partner for the lesson. Hmmm, History of Magic... Care of Magical Creatures... thinking of lessons made Jake's mind drift, as usual, towards Quidditch.

Quickly remembering it was in his pocket, Jake sighed with relief. "Things tend to end with disaster when I'm in class," he admitted, smiling up at Simone, having to squint a bit in the sunshine. "Wish I was a niffler... would help in Quidditch... like, playing Seeker. And the spade like... hand... paw... things," Jake added, not knowing how to describe hands/paws when comparing humans and animals.

And that certainly did not mean that she wanted him to be her boyfriend. Sitll, he was quite sure things were going to be horribly awkward around them from now on. "Oh, uh...sure. Yeah. Partners. That's cool," he muttered. Was it too late to ask Anna to be partners? Reese looked over at Anna who was partnering up with Shana. Yeah, too late. She looked back at Jack. She really should have partnered up with someone else. She really wasn't sure if Jack really wanted to be partners or if he was just saying yes because he didn't want to say no. But, oh well. Anna was already taken, so she was just going to have to stay partnered up with Jack. What's the worse that can happen? It's not like he was going to run off saying that he needed to feed his frog to his cat his frog AND his cat.
She nodded at Jack and smiled. She turned back around the face Professor Morgan, waiting for her to let the nifflers out. She couldn't wait to start finding some treasure.

Laura genuinly was sorry, for that left Jule partnerless, but Thomas had asked first.

Good. She should joined the club.
"You don't mind to partner up with me, do you?" Rachel's eyes darted from one student to another, feeling really annoyed. Even the little first years have partners and she didn't! Pfft - stupid pairings... She would just work alone. Making up her mind, she began striding towards Professor Morgan to demand a Niffler when she was approached by someone who wanted to be her partner.
Turning towards the sign of her voice, she grinned as she saw that it was none other than the Ravenclaw Captain, Willow Kovak herself. "Nope, I would love to," she replied with a relieved smile, pleased that she had a partner after all. Going to a Professor and telling them that she was going to directly disobey their orders wasn't the way to handle things... Especially since she was a Prefect, right?

Or maybe, just maybe, the professor had something else up her sleeves? Anna wouldn't doubt it if she did. Professor Morgan was always full of interesting and neat ideas.
Anna continued to let her mind wander about all the possibilities, until Shana approached her and asked about being partners. "Oh, hey, Shana! Of course I'll be your partner! I think this will be one of the most exciting lessons I've ever been to. I can't wait to get started," she said, with a smile. Alright, so step one, finding a partner, was done. Now all she and Shana had to do was wait for the rest of the directions.
Shana smiled.Weell This was awesome.A great lesson,A awesome partener and mabye they'd each get their own Nifflers.That'd be soo coool.This was soo awesome she had the HEAD GIRL as HER partener HERS.No one elses Buut hers.Annnd...Mabye Anna had some tricks up her sleeve,being head guurl and everythink.Mabye They had some special hand book orr something that told them the answers to every possible question in all the lessons.That'd bee soooo coool.Shana shrugged her shoulders and beamed.
Shana smiled and hugged Anna slightly. Thanks Anna! I hate having to find parteners.Its like always soo haard.Cause no one usually wants to go with me and by the time You find someone who will go with you,they've already got a partener.She smiled and shrugged.
