The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is brightly lit, if not overly warm, but there is no professor in sight. Instead, there are stations established around the perimeter of the room. The sign posted on the chalkboard is quite visible: Quote:
Students:
Take as much time as you need to study the creatures I’ve placed around the room. Chat with your friends, take very good notes, draw and label sketches, and then you are dismissed to prepare your homework assignment.
For each creature, you must: - Correctly identify the creature
- Describe the physical attributes of the creature and any characteristic behaviors
- Describe one magical way to handle the creature.
- Describe one non-magical way to handle the creature.
- Optional: Sketch and label one of the creatures for a bonus.
Points: This assignment is worth the full 20 class points.
Due: November 9, 2010 midnight EST
Station 1
The water in the aquarium is murky and dark, in spite of the lighting in the room. You may be tempted to think it is simply an empty tank until a face like a demon monkey smashes against the glass. The strong scaled hands that pound futilely against the tank sides are webbed. Station 2
A squat cage sits on another desk. The creature inside is fierce looking in spite of his gnomish little face, glaring at any onlookers with red eyes and occasionally beckoning toward the lock on the cage with its long fingernails. Station 3
Another aquarium sits near the windows, although this one contains no water. Instead, it seems to hold a large, gray rock. Strange. Station 4
The last station is simply a trunk placed on the floor. It rattles from time to time, but the heavily charmed lock will keep you from opening it. What could be inside? ooc: Please do NOT share answers in this thread. You can RP to your heart’s content, but please do not give anything away. | |

Sigh.
The boy's eyebrows came together in a frown, after he dramatically sighed. And now his arms were crossed across his chest, "That is no rock" what year was he anyway? If he didn't know that wasn't a mere rock then...no, no, Treyen was right, it couldn't be something else. "And rocks can be dangerous, you know, if someone is holding them" and then they shoot it straight to your head.
Yup, dangerous. Unless...well, they could test how dangerous rocks were if Salander volunteered as a test subject.
Treyen chuckled, "Nah, if you know what to do when you face it, then you're okay" he nodded and uncrossed his arms, it was time to take another note. "You do know what it is, don't you?" eyes slightly narrowing at the boy. That is no rock??? the Slytherin lad looked back at the glass enclosure. It sure looked like one to him, what else could it be? But the young Hufflepuff sounded so sure so the Slytherin lad suddenly remarked "Oh I knew that wasnt a rock. Just messin' with yah." he smirked. Just what was it then? Salander had no clue.
He looked back at the murky glass enclosure as the young boy chuckled off the danger. He thinks that rock thing this is a bigger danger, but noisy in the water the water he just laughs about? Is this kid right in the head? "Sure I know what it is." he scoffed shrugging ".... just as I know what that is." he motioned his head at the rock thing. Now he appreciated that the Headmaster wasnt there. He didnt have to prove his answers heh.

Hmph. Alice pulled Rubiey to her feet, her own cheeks flushing slightly with embarrassment for her. Wiping out was never good...especially in a room full of people. "No worries," Alice said, giving Rubiey a warm smile. "That thing is rather nasty." Alice turned to glare at the murky tank. Evil!monkey. "Yes, let's move on," Alice said, turning around and walking towards the second tank. Quote:

Unless theres a hidden catapult in there and they launch that thing at us"
His head suddenly spun to the first station, where Alice and her Gryff friend seemed to have encountered something nasty. "Now that on the other hand, looks dangerous." Just by the sound of it anyway. As she turned she noticed that Salander had obviously noticed Rubiey's wipe out. Alice gave him a little wave, and a thumbs up to let him know that everything was good. "Nasty little thing, isn't it?" Alice whispered to him as she walked by.

It's not like this was Sir Fletcher they were talking about, soooo... "Right" that was all he said, in a very, VERY neutral tone. Eyes no longer narrowing.
Aha! You know what, let's give him the benefit of the doubt, because Salander didn't have to lie for this, right? Chances are he was telling the truth, why would he need to lie about knowing what the creatures at the zoo classroom were? Exactly. "I still wonder what could be inside the trunk, though" he said, as he heard the trunk rattle one more time. Spooky, was it not? The unknown.

But then he smile, widely, "I think we can handle being attacked again, don't you think so?" of course, it worked better if they knew what was attacking them, which is why his eyes flickered towards the creatures inside their prison.
Mmmmm. Interesting.
Well yeah..he was standing but....ugh...little kids. "Figure of speech I guess." This kid seemed pretty smart though. And he was a Huffie. The Badger's did tend to make some thing more exciting. Legend grinned as he thought back to the forest. That was one of the best moments of his life. "I think we could handle anything after that." Yeah they were awesome like that. "My names Legend Chosen by the way."
Legend relaxed a bit as the Huffie began talking to his friend and looked at the creature in the cage.

Haha. Yes. Though, he wasn't sure if Salander could, at least him and the Gryffindor boy could. "We can, after all, we didn't even need Saylen back there" and that was true, the only thing the Professor did was teaching them the spell, but they got out of there on their own by following the silver patronus.
A nod to his golden brown head, "Legend. Nice to officially meet you. I'm Treyen, Treyen Lockhart" another nod, and then a look at the gnomish creature. It was creepy, but nothing more. "Chosen?" and no, he wasn't going to joke about it, "Do you have a sister that used to be Quidditch Captain here at Hogwarts?" he asked, writing a couple notes as the gnomish dude reacted on something.

"Sure is...." he replied to the young Gryff, relieved that at least someone else didnt take the dark waters as a laughing matter. He turned his head at the trunk when Treyen spoke of it. It knocking about reminded him of something, something he preferred not to voice out "Lets just hope its not a poor firstie" he smirked. Because that would be just cruel. And Salander knew a thing or two about cruel jokes.
He shifted his attention to the other Gryffindor lad Treyen was speaking to. He remembered seeing him vaguely at COMC class. Was that him, or was it another other fellow? He couldnt be too sure, they were after all running for dear life while trying to keep those spiders from taking their legs off as appetizers. He shifted his attention back to the rock thing, unable to keep himself from overhearing their conversation. So brave are we? the Slytherin lad couldnt help but snort quietly. At least now he knows who he could get behind as a human shield | |
