She also noticed the instructions on the blackboard, but something else caught her attention. "Is this... a Sphinx?" She read a lot about them! And this one was... fascinating!

Upon arriving at the paddock, the thought was wiped from her mind. There was a sphinx. A real life sphinx.

GASP.

After staring at it for quite a while, Ellie finally tore her eyes from the beast and allowed them to take in the...professor? "Are you..." The new professor? Filling in for the evilish woman?

And to the sphinx, "Hiii pretty sphinx." Wouldn't want to be RUDE or anything, right?

She then sat down before taking out her quill, ink and parchment before writing her name and year at the top.

Was...that...really...a sphinx. They like were crazy animals weren't they, did the Professor really think it was a good idea to show us THIS animal. Ronnie took out a piece of parchment never taking her eyes of the animal. She wrote.


On a piece of parchment and sat down right in front waiting for the lesson to start. The creature was beautiful in so many ways and down right frightening in others. It was going to be a good lesson, Ronnie was sure of it.

"She's beautiful, professor! Where on earth did you get her? They can be quite violent if I remember correctly. Not that it should stop you," she said excitedly. "After all, it's no fun to only learn about tame creatures."
Chris had always been facinated by the more dangerous creatures, the ones she never thought she would be able to observe up close. She looked around further and noticed the professor's request, taking out a piece of parchment.

Now she had the freedom of hugging it appreciating the flames.

Unfortunately, there were no flames. Just a sphinx. Pfft.

Staring at it some, it was only a few seconds later did she notice the blackboard and what was written on it. Huh. Name tags. What happened to the Professors knowing their names and years before their lessons began? Sitting down, she pulled out a parchment, her quill, ink, and her notebook so she had something to write on before starting on this name tag thing. Why did it make her feel like a first year again?

Though it had taken a while for him to decide, Professor MacFusty had, at last, come to the conclusion to hold his lesson in the paddock located outside the Magical Creatures Nursery. Knowing that perhaps some students would be confused, he left an announcement pinned to the door of his hut, indicating where to go and what exactly they should not do upon reaching their destination and taking a look at MacFusty's current companion.

For instance, they should not yell or gasp or point fingers or just plain run away.

Well, they could run away, but that would be a bit silly, not to mention a pity as well. Not that this sentiment was shared by the creature pacing restlessly near him. From the small stool he was sitting on, Lachlan was busy using his elm wand to write on the blackboard located almost right next to him, the following message:

"Can you not yell? I know I said this already, but please don't do it. Rosie won't like it anymore than she likes having me call her 'Rosie.' Also, take out a piece of parchment, some ink and write your name and year on it. Then just place it on your lap when you are done. Thanks!"

Lachlan smiled to himself at a job well done (mostly--there was not much he could do about his only half-decent handwriting), and pocketed his wand. The Creature he'd seemed to refer to as 'Rosie,' however, grunted at him and sat down upon her hind legs, looking both supremely offended and nearly obnoxiously bored.

"You need to relax, Ros--Milady," Adviced MacFusty, employing a kind, soothing tone.

The young Sphinx used her cool aquamarine almond-shaped stare to glare daggers at him, but said nothing else. Normally, Lachlan would have been slightly alarmed of being in the presence of a seemingly irritated Sphinx, but in better spirits he could not be. And in any case, even if Rosie did decide to pounce and have him for lunch, her efforts would be stopped by the series of charms placed around her. Also? She was wagging her tail, so she couldn't be that upset.

Quietly, Lachlan chuckled and waited for the students to arrive.

OOC: The lesson will not start right away, just to give everyone a time to arrive, react to Rosie, etc. Don't forget to get familiar with the class rules, and that, you know, Lachlan is THERE, so chatting TOO much isn't really a good idea. Not unless you think the idea of staying after class to clean up the stable is a good idea.

For the Sphinx whose name appeared to be Rosie, the student may as well not been there. She refused to acknowledge anyone who did not directly and truly acknowledged her first.



The fear was clear in the young Slytherin's face, but he seemed to be doing his best to hide it and at the same time, calm down. Lachlan instantly knew he liked the boy, and it had nothing to do with the fact that the student belong to MacFusty's former house. Not entirely, in any case.

Ahem. "Hi, there. And your name is...?"

Rosie remained silent, but may have done some sort of huffing sound, a sign of clear annoyance.

Cheeky humans. She did not like to be ignored.



Fishing out his wand, Professor MacFusty used it to pin the parchment with the girl's name and year to her robes. "Hello to you as well, Miss Jones. Miss Jones, who by the sign of , was already one of Rosie's favourites.

Rosie positiviely, preened, and may have flashed a small, albeit brilliant smile for the polite Slytherin girl.



"--The new professor, yes. It's nice to meet you, miss." Or at least he hoped. He also hoped she'd supply him her name, for at her shock of having spotted Rosie, the girl seemed to have forgotten to read the instructions.

Rosie wasn't pretty. She was glorious. She was majestic. She was beautiful enough to deserve an entire synonym of the word Beautiful to be created after her. To look at her was not enough--Staring was the right way to do it.

And yet, yet the girl had referred to her as Pretty. What was she? An Abraxan? A hippogriff?

But she took it anyway, not expecting humans to know any better, and gave the girl a stiff nod of her great head.

"A member of the house of Rowena Ravenclaw, are you not?" Wondered Rosie out loud, and speaking for the first time. Her voice was not the typical deep sort that was part of her ancestors; instead, it was almost musical. She sounded very young, too. "Wit beyond measure is a man's greatest treasure."



"Hello," Lachlan greeted kindly. "What's your name, miss?"



Lachlan once more employed his wand, and pinned the parchment to the girl's robes. Just like he'd done with Lola Jones. "Miss McGonagall."

All this curtsying kept giving Rosie the idea that the students thought of her not unlike the way they thought of a Hippogriff.

How insulting. She didn't HAVE WINGS!!!



The parchment was pinned to the girl's robes after a flick of MacFusty's wand, and he gave the girl a small nod of his head, accompanied with a smile.

Pointedly, he ignored Rosie's grunt yet again. "Hello, Miss Adler."



An obviously shocked Ravenclaw arrived and Lachlan tucked his tongue behind a molar to prevent a small chuckle from erupting. Distractedly, he scratched one of his cheeks and nodded at the boy. "Hey, there. The 'Wow' that came out of the boy was enough to make Rosie bristle and to procure a small out of MacFusty. "I promise she doesn't bite. Don't be afraid."

Rosie would have liked to remind the MacFurry fellow that she could indeed bite, but refrained and instead busied herself by staring at her paws with a disgruntled expression.



The parchment was pinned to the girl's robes after a lazy flick of Lachlan's wand, and it was followed by a nod directed at her. He didn't fail to notice, though, that most of the students so far were quite young.

Now, he could only hope Rosie would notice the same and acted accordingly.



Lachlan didn't have to look at Rosie to know that the sphinx had quietly grown outraged. [b]"She's actually not mine," Lachlan said, not unkindly, "You can say that Lady Rosamund and I are friends." Though Rosamund would beg to differ.

Lady Rosamund VII was one hundred percent outraged.

TAMED.

She did not even look up from her paws, and simply remained still as she stewed in silent anger.



The older Slytherin did not seem to be scared by Rosie, and Lachlan had the faintest idea that perhaps it would take a lot for the girl to grow afraid--or impressed, for that matter.

"Miss Flores," He greeted her, after pinning her name to her robes.



"Hello there, Mister Heartnett." He nodded towards the young boy, and with the corner of his eye watched as Rosie's tail began to wag yet again.





Hello, Miss Malfoy and Miss...?" The other one hadn't written down her name.

Looking around the class, he checked his watch, checked to see if Rosie wasn't violently trying to fight the charms placed on her (she wasn't, surprisingly), and then added. "We will wait a few more minutes before commencing." To give others time to arrive, and all that.
