| | |  CoMC Lesson 2 :: Mooncalf
With her arms completely full, the Care of Magical Creatures professor left her hut and headed down the all-too-familiar path. Although it was edging midnight; the eerie blue light of the full moon was shining strong enough to lluminate her way. She carried with her an overly large box full of glass lanterns and jars, along with one small box of muggle matches. Worn over her shoulder was a canvas bag she had stuffed as full as she could manage, with warm, quilted blankets.
As the path suddenly gave way into a large open clearing, Professor Morgan breathed a small sigh of relief. Poor Iliana was simply not used to setting up for class without the use magic and her aching arms were becoming increasingly heavy from fatigue. When finally she'd reached the center of the clearing, she stopped and slowly set the heavy items on the ground.
One by one, Iliana removed each latern from the box then lit a match. Once all the laterns were lit, she pulled out the blankets and spread them on the ground. There didn't seem to be enough, but it was just going to have to do.
Taking a few steps back, she looked over her outdoor classroom and smiled. The students need never know she was working without her wand. With that thought, she sat down on a nearby tree stump and waited for the students to trickle in. | |

There they were! Wand or no wand; they had their fire. "Very nice work, you three. Three points to each of you for your help. Thank you," she said.
Settling herself on an unoccupied blanket right up front, Professor Morgan unclasped her cloak and laid it aside. She'd be plenty warm enough now. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a large bag of marshmallows. Setting them out in front of her, she gave the students a smile and said, "Class I know it's cold and I know it's late but I'm really hoping you'll enjoy tonight's lesson." She pulled out several long skewers and placed them next to the marshmallows. "So... while we're out here, learning about fascinating creatures, why don't we enjoy this fire even more by toasting a few marshmallows? Help yourselves class," she said. "Just remember... we're here to learn first. This isn't a class on marshmallows," she added with a smile.
...
"Now... who can name me some nocturnal creatures? Creatures that are active during the night."

That had to be the biggest fire Destiny had ever seen. Taking the blanket Evelyn had given her she threw it over her shoulders and closed it tightly around her. 'Thanks!' she gave Evelyn a grateful smile.
Hopefully whatever they were doing did not involve taking off these blankets. She was way too comfortable. Quote:

"Now... who can name me some nocturnal creatures? Creatures that are active during the night." Destiny raised her hand from under the blanket 'Bats are nocturnal!' and she quickly put her hand back under the blanket.

Ignoring the food that was present after half a glance, Jake beamed his toothy little dopy grin. "Owls!" he said stupidly, hugging his knees to his chest, eyes wide and bright.

He raised his hand and said "Professor, are we going to be studying salamanders?"

Nocturnal creatures. Hinkypunks! Oh wait. Chris answered before her. Umm... owls! Oh wait. Jake answered before her. Why were these kids so fast at answering? Ooh! Ooh! Livvy raised her hand and said, "Bats are nocturnal!" Creatures. She didn't state what kind. She never said magical or muggle creatures. So who said bats wasn't a legit answer.

Nikki raised her now warm, unmittened hand in the air. "Would an owl count?" She asked. "There mostly nocturnal creatures even though they can be awake during the morning." Hey, she had seen tons of owls awake during the morning. They had to be awake if they were delivering letters right? Lowering her hand, she grabbed a marshmallow, ahh...so sweet and gooey.

"Werewolves are nocturnal in a sense, wouldn't you say? THey only shift during the Full Moon at night." Alexandra said with a tone of question in her voice. | |

"What about mooncalfs professor? They come out at full moons and do...something." Evelyn said, not really caring for the marshmallows. "Wait...is it a full moon tonight?" she asked, tilting her head up and looking to the sky, then looking behind her to Destiny. "No problem." she said back to her, wrapping her own blanket tighter around herself and facing the bonfire once again. So warm.

"Now... who can name me some nocturnal creatures? Creatures that are active during the night." Kay put her hand up to answer. "Professor, Would the Thestral be Nocturnal? also, would Devil's Snare be a creature or a plant?" Kay asked the Professor. Kay didn't feel that she was very well educated in this.

Jack raised his hand. "Isn't that Lethifold demon thing nocturnal? You know, since it strangles people and eats them in their sleep?" he said. He remembered when Great Uncle Ernie had started going crazy...he claimed he had come across a Lethifold. Which the family highly doubted.

It was as if he had just appeared out of thin air when in actual fact he had merely crept along the pathway in the dark. Marcus plopped himself down beside one of the students. "I believe it's a plant" he whispered to the young Hufflepuff. "Although those creeping vines make it creature like, almost like tentacles."
He placed a bowl in front of him and took out some chocolate. "I reckon if we melt this and then dunk the marshmallows in it." He kissed his fingers and grinned, "It will be devine. Don't you think?" he asked, his voice still in a whisper so as to not disturb the class.

"Minks!" LouAnn exclaimed, giggling at the sound of the word alone. She lowered her raised hand before adding on to her answer. "I read that since it's harder to see during the nighttime, they've developed one awesome sense of smell. They can seek out a prey with their nose alone! I don't recommend getting too close, though---they won't provide you with the greatest smelling perfume, ya know." She doubted they'd study minks in Care of Magical Creatures class, but all the good answers had already been called out.

""Thanks professor. I wasn't sure about that." she whisper back. "Oh, the chocolate would be great that way." Kay said being happy for the first time that night. "Are you staying for the class?" | |

Tavelon excitedly took a marshmallow and began toasting it. "You mean magical creatures, right Professor?" he asked. "Well... lots of reptiles are nocturnal... I think Lethifolds are, too." he added "And I think hinkypunks should be... since they carry lanterns." He stared intently at his marshmallow, trying to think of some others. "Oh, and mooncalfs! They only come out at night"

"Possums." Celandine answered and then thought a little more. MAGICAL creatures? Ummm.... "Hinkypunks? They have those lights that they carry to lure people into bogs." And... errr she wasn't going to say lethifolds, even though they were nocturnal, they still freaked her out. "Oh a mooncalf!" Cela added, hand raised.

Miranda thought for a moment. She wasn't very good at this class, but wanting to contribute with something, she raised her hand.
"Miss, basilisks...maybe?" Errr... "Or is that a dark creature?" Grimacing, she waited.

But he wouldn't do homework! Lucky. None the less, Tavelon inched himself closer so he'd have a chance to get at the chocolate. He gave a polite wave and mouthed 'Hi'.
Professor Lawson was nice. But chocolate was the goal.

Marcus leaned over towards the young girl, "Only if you're a good girl and do what Professor Morgan says." Quote:

Professor Lawson was nice. But chocolate was the goal. Marcus jerked his head and gestured for the Tavelon to come over and join them. There was plenty of chocolate to go around after all. Lawson, was never short of chocolate.
