Harvey was in fits of laughter now "Y..yes j..just think, oh the c..carnage, pages over h...here, pages over there. Covers h..here, over there. F...forget the study I t..think you had b..better stay away f...from the library, Oh god, who k...knows what you would do there....and..." Harvey couldnt say anymore, he just couldnt stop laughing. He looked at the man standing at the front probably thinking that they were mad and needed help. They will probably get told off for it, but it was so funny.

When Kurumi had seen the announcement on the homework board for a Care of Magical creatures lesson, she had quite literally cried with joy. The subject had always been her favorite subject so she had been going through serious creature withdrawals over the past few terms. She had woken up ridiculously early and gotten ready in record time, but then couldn't find her previous terms notes on the subject since she had tucked them away at the bottom of her trunk. She should never assume things. That never worked out well and we all know what happens when one assumes.

....

Still, she had found her notes and sprinted out of the castle towards the Forbidden Forest where class was being held with the BIGGEST smile on her face imaginable. The girl was practically glowing and it didn't help that her hair had decided to sparkle slightly. At least she hadn't sprouted cat ears this time...that had happened when she had seen the announcement, but had managed to calm herself down enough for them to go away.

"Good day....sir," Kurumi said with a deep bow. Her mood was too bright to even notice the chatter between two first years, one Ravenclaw and one Hufflepuff. She really SHOULD say something to them, like not talk so much since this was a lesson and not the corridors, but her focus was too much on the man in front of her to even care. "THANK YOU for being here." Nope, she had no clue who he was, but all that mattered to her now was that she was going to have a proper Care of Magical Creatures lesson.

Having bowed once more to Mr. Whoever, Kurumi turned heel and headed towards a seat in the front. She smiled slightly when she saw that Jonathan had managed to make the lesson. Setting her bag down on the ground, Kurumi took a seat next to him and tried not to bounce too obviously in her seat.

Raven walked to the ground for Care of Magical Creatures. She was a little bit enthusiast. At least, CoMC was better than herbology.. She saw a man there, he was not the Professor. Who is he??

"Good Morning sir." said her calm.

Ashley had started to think there wouldn't be a Care of Magical Creatures class, or that maybe he just always missed it. He'd heard there would be one, but he hadn't seen notice of it all year. Even though he'd resolved to go to as many classes as he possibly could, he wasn't sure how he felt about this one. He'd never really had any problems with animals, but then, he hadn't really interacted with many. Still, as usual, he had a weird little optimism about the whole thing as he made his way to the area the class was to meet. "Hello," he said politely to the man he'd never seen before, but he was the only non-student around, as far as he could see, and so he decided that must be who was teaching them. Once he'd done that, he moved aside to wait for things to get going, curious as to what the lesson would be.

Ahh, Care of Magical Creatures class!

It had felt like forever since she had been to a proper lesson, and she couldn't have been anymore excited. It was true, it was her absolute favorite class and no, she did not feel bad for Carter. Who had to hear about it the whole way down to where the lesson was being held. She didn't think he minded, though, he was still close to her, and carrying her books for some very odd reason.

She had no plans on questioning him about it either. He was like her own personal house elf! Only less scary and not wearing a potato sack. "Hurry up, Carter! I want to get a good spot. Right up front."

Bounding even further ahead of the Gryffindor, Destiny stopped right next to the man who she suspected would be teaching them. He didn't seem like a Professor, but he was the only old person around. "Hello, man sir." she gave him a salute in greeting before moving away from him a little to give him some space. Those old folk..some of them didn't like their space invaded.

Was Carter going to hold her stuff during the WHOLE lesson? Maybe she could get him to write her notes for her, too. Hehe.

Janice walked down to where the class is usually held. But instead of finding the professor, she found a man, probably one of the Ministry Heads like the one who did the last Transfiguration lesson last year.

"Good morning, sir!" she greeted him.

Carter followed Destiny to class. He never realized before that the Slytherin could walk at the speed of light when she was excited for something. Not only that, but her mouth also worked a mile a minute. He had no idea that there were so many ways for one to say "I'm excited for class."

"I'm right here Destiny. There's no need to tell me to hurry." He was pretty sure not even Destiny could forget that someone was standing less than a foot away from her.

"Hello... er... Sir." he said greeting the man that was not their Professor. At least he wouldn't have to explain to him why he was carrying Destiny's things and walking with her to class. In fact, he was kind of hoping nobody would notice. Only Carter would be capable of accidently asking out his best friend.

Tori skipped down to Care of Magical Creatures, really looking forward to class with like, the only redheaded professor in the school. She was a little bit disappointed, however, to see that there was a MAN standing there like he was running the class. Huh. Had there been some new hirings that she wasn't aware of?

"Hello....er.....Professor Man?" she greeted the dude with a polite smile. "What's your...er....name again?" Eh?

Violet eagerly made her way to the Forbidden Forest where the Care of Magical Creatures lesson was going to be taught today and she was very excited about it. Her charmed brown hair was tied in a braid with a pink ribbon interwoven into it today and she absolutely loved it. She was starting to get a little used to having brown hair, did she love it, not entirely, but she was still trying to prove a point to Chris and everyone else who thought so, that she wasn't just a pretty face.

When her violet eyes set sights on where students were meeting up for the lesson she immediately figured that's where the class was going to be. As she arrived she noticed that there was a man...who wasn't their Professor which threw her off a little. He must have been from the Ministry or something, maybe her father knew him? She guessed she would just write him a letter later when class was over. But nonetheless she gave him a big bright smile and said cheerfully,"Good morning sir! Looking forward to today's lesson.." She gave him a light nod and another smile before walking to find a seat.

Violet then made her way to find a seat towards the second row of seats and sat down. She began fiddling with her hair a little bit waiting patiently for class to begin. Violet then began to wonder if she was going to see Chris at today's lesson or not. Of course she would just have to wait and see.

Anthony was ready for his first Care of Magical Creatures class of his life, you could say that! He was a big scared though to find out it was taught by someone at the Ministry though. But anyways he was excited! He was always the type of animals! He lived on a farm when he was younger anyways so it added more of a reason to be excited.

Anthony shyly walked to the crowd of people getting ready for class and said, "Good day professor." He was going to be rude to the man, but then he didn't want to sound like a very talkative person, which would show the opposite of him. So after he said good day he stepped off more into the crowd of people, maybe finding someone to talk to.

Tralalala.. Off to Care of Magical Creatures Class!

Beatrice rather had a very warm feeling about their lesson for today. Not only was it a subject that she was mostly looking forward to but it was also the first Care of Magical Creatures Lesson that she had attended. And they would surely be facing some awesome creatures today, right? Maybe they'll be playing with some skrewts perhaps?

As she arrived at the area near the Forbidden Forest, she had seen that there were n awful number of students already there. They couldn't have started yet, right? And relief flooded her senses when she heard that they were still greeting their Professor. Wait---who was their Professor anyway? She moved closer to take a look at the person who would be teaching them. It was a he. Yes, a man. "Good day Professor." She said. He would be introducing his name soon. Let us wait.

Selina walked down to the grounds for Care of Magical Creatures. It was weird. She could not remember them having one lesson in this subject all year. Which was even odder still because the year was coming to a swift and rapid close. Things were starting to go by so much faster now for Selina now that she was getting older. When she was younger, and by no means was she old Gideon had talked her out of that slight panic moment, the years seemed to pass by with a slight rush to them. Now it was full speed ahead.

When she walked over to the Professor she smiled, "Hello sir," then she took a seat with her classmates.

Maddy walked down the path, that lead students from Hogwarts to the Care of Magical Creatures class room. She saw the Ministry professer standing on the other side of the path as if blocking it. She gave a polite "Hello there" and headed over to stand by the other students.

She didn't know whether she wanted to attend the lesson or not, and had spent a good few minutes debating the fact in her dormitory. Yet after Destiny left, the Slytherin rolled out of bed and grabbed her school bag before following. Apparently she didn't follow close enough to notice Carter or anything out of the ordinary...

...

But now she noticed a lot.

Carter. Pffft. Oh, and some dude was standing there that wasn't Professor McClane.

"Hello, sir." she greeted quietly, taking a stand in the back of the class awaaaaay from the forbidden forest. Why were they standing so close to it, hmmm? HMMM!?!? She didn't like this guy already.

I'm here for the Care of Magical Creatures class. Will you be our teacher?" Alyssa smiled at the distinguished gentleman before her.

Ah, here was the first arrival!

"Good afternoon," Atticus replied with a smile. He then nodded. "Yes, that's me. I hope that doesn't disappoint you." Because she'd probably been expecting someone else, like the real professor, and his presence might be a let down.

He didnt know who this was he had never seen him before. But he stood there waiting for the others to arrive and for class to start

"Hello," Atticus replied, smiling. "I'm quite well. How about you?"

...and just how did she know this man was a department head? Well, from appearance alone, of course. Being the daughter of the Senior Undersecretary had left her pretty familiar with the latest happenings at the Ministry. She confidently approached the man and looked him in the eye as she said, "You're one of the new department heads in the Ministry, yes? I'm Sierra Greingoth, and I believe my father works with you."

She gave him one of her rare smiles. After all, it wouldn't be good for him to go back and tell Daddy Greingoth that his little girl had been rude. Yup, Sierra knew just who to get in good with, and this man fit in that very category.

Hmm, this girl seemed to know who he was already...and it was immediately apparent from her next sentence. "Ah, yes, it seems I do know your father. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Greingoth," he replied with another smile and nod.

He'd be satisfied with snake or even unicorn, those would be SO cool.

He spotted some of his classmates and the professor man. "Good day...Professor," he said with a polite smile. He didn't know the man's name.

Atticus shook his head. "I'm not a professor." Not really anyway. But he would address that once everyone was here. "Good afternoon, though." He smiled.

The man who was supposed to teach them today looked very nice. Still, he was unfamiliar. Presley smiled politely. "Hello, sir!" She had learned better than to ask "what are we learning today" but the temptation was still there. She wanted to know why the school would have a guest teacher for a class that never occured but once. It must have been important.

Skipping? That was usually a good sign, yes? He was glad some were so enthusiastic. "Hello," he replied, smiling.

Seeing a few of the other students, the second year made his way towards them.

"HI Professor McCla----" Daichi wanted to greet but when he saw that the person was not Professor McClane his smile turned up side down and he stared at the man.

O_o WHO ARE YOU?!

"S-sorry, sir!" He finally realised that he was being rude and quickly bowed , his dark black hair falling in front of his eyes. "Sorry! i thought you were someone else..." Biting his lower lip he got back up and smiled , although it was a bit of a nervous smile.

"Are you a new Professor, sir?" he asked, cocking his head to the side as his nervousness slowly faded away and his natural curiousity got back in place.

This one had definitely been expecting someone else. The real professor, obviously. "It's quite alright," Atticus replied with a kind smile. Then he shook his head. "No, I'm not a professor. Just a substitute."

So she was more than excited to get to work hands-on with creatures again as she made her way across the grounds. "Hello, sir." She greeted the man with a smile and glanced over at the forest while waiting for this lesson to begin.

Atticus returned the smile. "Hello!"

In the meantime, at least until she got to class, she was just going to keep her hand on the egg. That way she could at least monitor the temperature and such, even if she was going to have to stop once she got to class. She didn't want to have to explain to anyone why her hand was hidden, either.

Especially as she arrived near the Forest, as was stated on the announcement regarding the lesson, and she saw someone who was decidedly not the professor standing there. Did someone else leave without makign it through the term?, she wondered. She wasn't about to ask this man, though. "Good afternoon, monsieur," she said simply, instead. At least it seemed like, for the most part, everyone else was just as surprised to not see the professor teaching the lesson.

French? Interesting. "Good afternoon," he replied with a smile and a polite nod.

Victoria prayed silently and turned her gaze away from the forest, and to the man instead. "Good morning-" From the look of the man, he was not a Hogwarts a professor of any kind, a more formal man with a Ministry look. It may not be appropiate to call him professor. "-substitute?" Victoria merely guessed.

Ah, this one seemed to have caught on. He nodded. "That's right." He smiled. "Good afternoon."

He shook his head at the "professor" part but didn't correct the boy verbally since he already sort of corrected himself. "Good afternoon," he said instead and smiled.

Hearing laughter from a pair of boys just a few feet away, Atticus turned his attention to them, raising an eyebrow slightly. What was so funny over there? Hopefully it was nothing about him. But so long as they stopped once class started, he wouldn't take any point.

When she was younger, and by no means was she old Gideon had talked her out of that slight panic moment, the years seemed to pass by with a slight rush to them. Now it was full speed ahead.

When she walked over to the Professor she smiled, "Hello sir," then she took a seat with her classmates.

He smiled. "Hello."

"Hello," he said, smiling.

...

But now she noticed a lot.

Carter. Pffft. Oh, and some dude was standing there that wasn't Professor McClane.

"Hello, sir." she greeted quietly, taking a stand in the back of the class awaaaaay from the forbidden forest. Why were they standing so close to it, hmmm? HMMM!?!? She didn't like this guy already.

He nodded at the last one to arrive. "Hello." He smiled.

Alright, so it seemed it was time to get started.

"Good afternoon, everyone," Atticus said, smiling and waiting for them all to quiet down and turn towards him before continuing. "My name is Atticus Aldredge, Head of the Magical Creatures Department in the Ministry of Magic, and I will be filling in for your Care of Magical Creatures professor for this lesson.

"Now, I'm sure you are all eager to get started," he hoped they all were anyway, "so please follow me." He motioned for them to follow, then turned and began heading down the path. After just a couple minutes of walking, they reached the edge of a paddock, which was empty except for the black tarp covering what looked to be a rectangular-shaped box.

Atticus stopped and turned to the class. "Before I call out the creatures," he began, "I'd like you to tell me what you know about hippogriffs. What do they look like? And how are they classified by the Ministry of Magic?"

OOC: Class has officially started! Anyone posting their character arriving after this post is late and will lose points. If you are just now joining us, pretend your character has been here the whole time and answer the question(s).

Kurumi smiled from her seat as he said that he was happy to be there - although she couldn't help but feel that that wasn't entirely true. Something about his tone set her off a bit.

She was bouncing in her seat even MORE when he confirmed her suspicion about him being the Head of the Magical Creatures Department in the Ministry of Magic. She KNEW that she had seen him while on her tour of the Ministry and Merlin did she have a lot of questions for him...but those were going to have to wait as the lesson had started and she followed him to their next location, throwing her bag over her shoulder.

"Mr. Aldredge," Kurumi said, hand shooting up into the air. "Kurumi Hollingberry, fourth year Gryffindor." Usually these substitute teachers wanted to know who they were for future reference, so better safe than sorry. "A hippogriff is a magical creature with the front legs, wings, and head of a giant eagle and the body, hind legs and tail of a horse. Their eyes are a brilliant orange and really stands out against the steal coloring. The Ministry has given them a rating of XXX, which means that competent wizards should cope with them. They demand respect and are very proud creatures, so not following proper etiquette when approaching them could be the last thing you do."

Ohh, Hippogriffs. Now this was a new one. Sierra hadn't taken a lesson on them yet. Then again, they hadn't had very many Care of Magical Creatures classes... She did, however, at least know something about them. She was a pureblood, after all. "Well, they're a mixture between an eagle and a horse," she said, raising her hand. "Their front legs, wings, and head are those of an eagle, and their body, hind legs, and tail are those of a horse."

She lowered her hand. Oh, she nearly forgot about the Ministry rating. "Oh, I think they're classified as being XXX--which means competent wizards should cope," she added.

Ellie had been running just a tad late. But she was in time to join the back of the class before they started relocating. She took the opportunity the voyage gave to catch up to Arya.

"They're half bird, half horse!" she answered. Crazy, odd things, Hippogriffs were. And Ellie really never planned on seeing one up close. She kind of wanted to keep it that way, too, so...hopefully...this Ministry man's question was totally unrelated to the lesson.

It was possible.

Angelina with the all the other student falled Mr. Aldredge down a path. Once they stopped Angelina researched the black tarp covered in a rectangular-shaped box, with her eyes in wonder.

For the question she didn't know what the Ministry of Magic classified it by, but she knew what they looked like. She raised her hand and said, "For me I'd explane a hippogriff to look somewhat like a horse with wings and a beak like a bird."

Alyssa raised her hand and answered, "Sir, a Hippogriff is a magical creature. It has a head of a giant eagle and a body of a horse. It has a Ministry of Magic classification of XXX which basically means that they can be tamed but that it should only be attempted by experts or by a competent wizard or witch. When approaching a Hippogriff, one must maintain eye contact at all times and give it respect by bowing to it. If it bows back, that means that it is allowing you to approach it."

" All I know is that it is half eagle and half horse, Sir. I don't know much more." said Justin

Minerva had come across a book about them, but she couldn't remember all of what it had said. She put her hand up. "Sir I remember reading that they are a big animal that you have to show respect to get respect. They are bird shaped in the head, but the body is a huge and shaped like maybe a horse."

Jayden raised her hand..."Sir, A Hippogriff is a magical creature that has the front legs, wings, and head of a giant eagle and the body, hind legs and tail of a horse. It is very similar to the Griffin, with the horse rear replacing the lion rear. They are classified as XXX which means only competent wizards should cope."

"I am good sir, excited to be here." he said in response to Mr Aldredge's question. The next one he couldnt answer as he knew nothing about them so he listened eagerly to the responses his classmates gave

What? They were meeting hippogriffs? How cool was that? Maybe Destiny was right, this lesson was worth getting excited about.

Carter's hand shot up. "They have an XXX rating... like Leprechauns and Fire crabs. Which means... as long as we don't do anything stupid we should be fine." In fact... he was pretty sure that was the exact definition of what that rating meant.

"Oh. And they also have a dance named after them." Being muggleborn though he wasn't quite sure what was meant by "Do the Hippogriff". Perhaps, because he was bringing it up, the Ministry man would demonstrate it.
