Destiny raised her hand from under the blanket 'Bats are nocturnal!' and she quickly put her hand back under the blanket. |
"Very good. Bats are definitely nocturnal."

Chris raised his hand, "What about Hinkypunks?" he said excitedly. |
"Right again. Good job Chris."

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. |
"Yes sir, Owls for sure." She smiled at him, noting how well he passed up the sugar. Rooting through her pocket, she pulled out her favorite sugar-FREE candies and threw him the bag.

Lorcan heard Lexi sighing and looked at her. She was staring at the stars. "Hey," he whispered "I thought I was the stargazer." He smiled and gave her a nudge.
He raised his hand and said "Professor, are we going to be studying salamanders?" |
And as always whenever she was asked such a question... "Nope." was all she said.

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. |
"Good Livvy," the professor said.

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. |
"Owls count," she said with a smile, happy to see someone indulging at last.

"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. |
"Not exactly," the professor answered tentatively. She thought of Less and sighed. That still wasn't the greatest subject for her.

"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. |
"Yes, ma'am. Mooncalfs are without a doubt nocturnal. They are also going to be the focus of our lesson tonight. Very good," she exclaimed.

"Yes Herminny. Vampires are nocturnal," she said, nodding her head.

Copernicus raised his hand. "Professor... are lethifolds nocturnal?" He scooted down onto a blanket and glanced up at the sky. |
"Very good, Copernicus," Iliana said. Lethifolds were terrifying creatures but nocturnal none the less. Thankfully, one wouldn't find any in Britain.

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. |
"Right Jack. Lethifolds only come out at 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. |

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. |
Just as Professor Morgan was about to answer... she heard Marcus' whispered voice. "Come here to steal my marshmallows, have you?" she asked, twirling her hair around her finger.

"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. |
"Correct, LouAnn!" she said, happy to hear an as yet unsaid answer. "Wonderful answer."

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. |
And then there was another. "Good Cela, Possums. Correct. I have a funny story about a possum. I'll have to share it with you some day."
...
"Okay now class, let's talk about Mooncalfs. Does anyone know what classification the Ministry of Magic has given the Mooncalf?"
