As you make your way down to the pasture for the first Care of Magical Creatures lesson of the term, and if this is not your first time visiting the place, you'll notice that the grassy area looks.. well, different. No creatures, besides the ones that Professor Newlin has hidden in the many cages scattered about can be seen.. or not seen, and how could you possibly miss the long covered table off to the side near the shed? What is in the cages and under the cover will stay a mystery.. for now.
Have yourself a seat on the grass, or stand if you'd rather! Not too close to those cages, though. Professor Newlin is there, laying on her stomach in the middle of the area, an open jar next to her and her finger stuck deep in the dirt.
There are worms in the dirt, after all.
OOC:This lesson will start later, later, laaaaater today. And I'm so nervous! The lesson has started! Please don't announce late arrivals. And I'm still nervous!

Anyway..
"Right. So, as the rest of you said, Fire Crabs are native to the islands of Fiji. And as you can see." she pointed to the Fire Crab in the cage before slowly opening the door of it, so she could grab him once he made his way out. If he ever made his way out, "Despite its six legs, it has more of a resemblance to that of a turtle. The jeweled shell, which a few of you said could be fitted with either rubies, sapphires or emeralds, is highly valuable for both wizards and muggles. Wizards use the shell as a cauldron because its much harder than any material and won't burn as easily. The muggles use it for the jewels." Both selfish. "There is something that neither a crab or turtle can do, but the Fire Crab can. If the creature feels threatened, or even annoyed," as Theodore said, "they defend themselves by shooting a jet of flame from their.. well, their butts." No laughing, please. "Also, I don't know how," and she didn't want to either, "but Rubeus Hagrid somehow mated a Fire Crab and a Manticore to create the Blast-Ended Skrewts." But enough about them.
"And while there is a reserve, which I worked at before coming to Hogwarts, Fire Crab poaching is still happening and the number of creatures decrease each year." Sad, right? "They shouldn't be kept as pets." Even if the Ministry says people could. "But that is just my opinion."
Picking up the Fire Crab once he was out of the cage, Professor Newlin held it gently in her arms as she stood from the ground. She pulled out her wand, flicking it in the direction of the rest of the cages and the table by the shed, causing all the covers to come off. She may have forgotten about the jar of worms..
"As you can see, there are enough Fire Crabs for each of you." She glanced over at Daichi, if that was his name, and Kai, giving them both a small smile. "But if you'd rather work in pairs, that is fine."
"If there aren't any questions, I'd like you all to grab a bucket, a brush and a washcloth from off the table, then stand by one of the cages. Don't let the Fire Crabs out just yet. We'll have to get the water ready first."
Yup. They were going to be cleaning a Fire Crab.
Beezus simply nodded as Professor Newlin elaborated more on the fire crabs, it's characteristics, its abilities..
And of course, when she magicked the covers off the cages, it was expected that the inhabitants of the cages were fire crabs. For once, Beezus slipped a quick glance at Daichi, just making sure the Slytherin was still there...alive. He still was. Okay, maybe no one's bound to die today.
There were so many fire crabs that Beezus actually took time in counting them with her eyes but was interrupted when the Professor gave the additional instructions. They COULD work in pairs. And they were to a bucket, brush and washcloth.
They were going to clean the fire crabs. so it seems.

But we're not going to, simply because you two are awfully silent and awkward. So.." She gave an apologetic smile to both of them, "I'm going to join my boyfriend over there." She gestured toward Vickers, staring at the cages, "And I suggest you two work together on this. It'll help ease the tension." Obviously Louisa had no idea why those two were like this, but her advice was genuine. "I do hope you work it out." She added gently before walking away.
The brunette had rather been expecting that she work with Louisa yet even before she could bring up the suggestion, the Head Girl made a suggestion of her own.
O_______o
That wasn't true.. She wasn't silent...and awkward.. She just didn't want to talk much right now. Yeah Beezus, who are you kidding? Then Louisa said she was going to work with her boyfriend. Her what? Beezus' brown eyes followed the direction the girl pointed and saw Vickers. WHAT? They were together? "..You and--?" she started to ask, but was cut short when the girl said she and Spike work together.
UHH, NO. JUST...NO.
Beezus gulped as Louisa started walking away. Was she going to end up working with Spike after all? The mere thought was stressing her out.
Someone rescue her please?

Gah, he attended this school with some slow peoples.
...Oh...They were going to actually work with these animals? Nice. Yes, yes...Dylan could imagine that owl now, writing out his detailed experience learning about the funny little creatures. Pure satisfaction...As soon as class was over, he'd zip up to the owlery...
...And they were being given the opportunity to work in pairs? Nice, again.
Of course, Dylan's first instinct was to work with his best mate sitting beside him...but Rich was in rare form today. There was no need to put himself in the line of fire...and then there was Ravvie!Odessa. The Captain could've asked her to work with him...but before he'd stood to do so, someone else caught his eye.
There was Beezus, sitting with Spook and Girl Almost on Fire...And she looked miserable. It might not have been openly noticeable...but as someone who knew her well, it was plain as day.
So, with his mind made up, Dylan smoothly got to his feet and made his way over to her. It was his duty to rescue his Honey Bee from an uncomfortable situation. It'd probably be a bit awkward...considering his past with Spook but really. Dylan couldn't be bothered about him. He knew things.
COUGH.
"Bee, come on."
Odds were definitely on her side for the next thing she knew, her the knight-in-shining-Quidditch-robes Slytherin Captain was looking down at her.
Come on?
Err...like come on and they work together on this?
She might as well have hugged Dylan when she rose to her feet, then hesitantly turning her head at Spike, she mumbled, "Urmm..see you 'round Spike." Because she wasn't going to work with him. She just can't...not now anyway.
Then to Dylan.
"Thank you." she whispered silently as she pulled his arm towards the cages so they could pick their fire crabs. Just when they were a few steps off, a shrill voice filled the air. It was Peeves! Doing nonsense once again. She was going to tell Dylan they ignore the poltergeist and get on with the task when the ghost hoisted the jar of worms around the students.
UGH.
A few worms landed on her shoulder and she quickly brushed them off. Peeves really needed a smack in the head. Beezus turned to the Slytherin and saw worms on his head. "You've got...errr...worms," she told him as she stood on tiptoe and swept the creatures off his blonde mane.

He needed protection.
And knock. Someone bashed him aside and because of his squatting position, he rolled along the grass a bit until he stopped in front of one of the cages. BY GOSH, PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE A FIRE CRAB CAGE.
"oWWWWWWwwwwwch."
His eyes flitted open and went WIDE there was indeed, a fire crab's BUTT staring right at him. Theo ducked his head down low and rolled along the grass some more. Safe? Was he safe? This felt like world war three.
Yep. Her arm or hand or something had definitely hit something, but right now she was far too focused on the worms that were DOWN HER SHIRT. Flailing about some more, Kurumi removed her outer most robe and tossed it aside before she began to untuck her white uniform shirt from her grey uniform skirt and began to shake the fabric.
GetOUTGETOUTGETOUTGETOOOOOOOOOOOUT!
Shaking and spinning around a bit as dirt and worms sort of flew in various directions, Kurumi ended up tripping over something and fell over backwards. That something happened to be Theo who - unbeknownst to her - had fallen on the ground because she had smacked him.
"I'M SORRY THEO! Are you alright?!" she asked as she rolled on to her side as he rolled away.
o_______________O
Okay...falling in front of the fire crab cages could only be a BAD thing.
Squeaking as the nearest caged creature began to turn its backside towards her, Kurumi followed Theo and his rolling technique awaaaaaaay from the cages.
Stop, drop, and roll....right?!

WHAT? They were.... cleaning Fire Crabs? That wasn't safe.
Theo made a faaace of terror and was glad that the partner option was offered to them. He looked around, trying to find a person that would particularly excel in this sort of activity.
Preferably an old person, please.
Hehe.
Well, while she thought that a person would be fast enough to move out of the way before a Fire Crab could actually burn them, Theodore was thinking along the right path this time. At least, he wasn't talking about another part of the face getting burned. "That's more of a possibility. But let's just hope these Fire Crabs don't get that annoyed."

Sure, fire crabs were no dragons but it was hard to top a dragon in Kurumi's book if not impossible.
Question? Actually she DID have one. But it was more to appease her curiosity than one that really was directed towards learning more about the actual creature. "Professor, the rubies, sapphires or emeralds that are found on fire crabs' shells...are some of those used in the hour glasses?" The ones that kept tally of house points. Because THAT would be really neat. Maybe a little sad too since Kurumi did not know the extracting process of the jewels and her thoughts were more that the creature had to be killed in order to retrieve them, but if it had been because of natural causes....
Oh!
Another really good question. Vanora shifted the Fire Crab she was holding to her other arm as she turned to face Kurumi. "I'm not entirely sure. But, since the Fire Crab is a protected species, even if they were to die of natural causes, I don't think they would use the gems for an hour glass." And now she was curious as to where those gems came from that were in the hourglasses. "Perhaps that is a question for the Headmistress." There could be some extra points if the Prefect did ask the woman, too. Hmm.

However, the second-year rose to her feet to do what they were told to do. Get those stuff. But wait they were cleaning the fire-farting creature? Like touching it? What's with cleaning creatures. Only last term they cleaned a dragon. Oh remembering that cute little dragon made Cassia sad as it got burned afterwards.
Dismissing those memories, Cassia raised her hand ," Professor how do we make sure not to make the creature lose its temper?" She asked. "You know in order not to be burned." She added. A trip to the infirmary was the last thing she needed. She was actually trying to spend her seven years without going there. The healer didn't have a very pleasant reputation.
So Cassia picked up a brush and a washcloth and dropped them in a bucket and carried the last. The second-year glanced to see if her friend Blue who was sitting next to her had gotten to grab the stuff as well.
And finally, the question she was actually waiting for! Vanora thought that would be the question everyone would be asking. Unless, which was a huge possibility, everyone wanted to see a Fire Crab shoot its flame. It was an amazing thing to watch.
"As soon as everyone has their supplies and a Fire Crab, I'll let you know." she tossed Cassia a wink, and was just about to address the class once more when..

Zooming out from his spot in the trees he made his presence known.
"FIRE!
THE CRABS ARE ON FIRE! EVERYONE RUN! SAVE YOURSELVES!"
Flying around their heads he spotted a jar of dirt... and worms.
PERFECT!
"HAVE NO FEAR, PEEVES IS HERE! HE'LL PUT OUT THOSE FIRES!" Or maybe just feed the crabs.
Swooping down he snatched up the jar FULL of creepy crawlies and started dumping them all over the place. Worms were everywhere! On the ground, tables... on the students, in their hair, slithering down their backs...
Peeves happened.
As if she wasn't nervous enough teaching her very first lesson, she just had to deal with the Poltergeist. Heaving a great sigh, and mumbling a few colorful words under her breath, Vanora placed the Fire Crab she had been holding back in its cage. No need to see the amazing act of Fire Crab butt flaming while there were kids being wormed on. And.. did Kurumi just push Theodore to the ground!? She did realize it was Peeves who threw the worms, right!? Dear Merlin..
"PEEVES!" she turned around so quickly that the few worms that had landed on her flew right off. And they were already digging their way into the ground. Did he know how long it took her to collect them all!? "I swear to Merlin, I will march myself right into Hogwarts, grab the Bloody Baron by the chains and drag him out here if you do not leave." Idle threat? Yes. Because everyone knew that she wouldn't be able to grab the Baron's chains. Another heaving sigh and she turned back to the students.
"They are only worms, they won't hurt you. So don't hurt them." As in, if she saw anyone try to squash them, she would take so many points away. So. Many. Points.

Well... she certainly wasn't lovely anymore. Theo pointed his finger at her. "YOU PUSHED ME OVER! I'm telling on you!" He thought the Head of Gryffindor House would be an appropriate professor.
*grumble*
*wiggle*
What?
HOLD UP, THERE WAS A WORM ON HIS FACE. Theodore screamed, allowing the worm easy access to his mouth. And with a pop, he'd swallowed it.
...
And now he was crying.

Messer listened as the Professor explained more about the Fire Crabs creature. He knew that the creature shoot fire hence the name Fire Crabs but he didn't know that they shoot fire from their butt. He made a mental note to stay far far far away from their butt.
While he was about to get his supplies to clean the Fire Crabs, Peeves was shouting 'FIRE' and suddenly its raining worms. He got off some of the worms from his uniform and hair. Hopefully he managed to get rid all of the worms.

So the jewels COULD be used, just wizards didn't. It just wasn't the best idea to keep them as pets. They wouldn't make really good pets, like a dog or a cat could. Cardigan couldn't see why anybody would want to! Wouldn't want to burn your children, or yourself, to death, right? Maybe she'd ask the professor more after class.

she certantly didnt want to touch the thing if she didn't absolutely have too. "partner.. Anyone..." she said to no one specific and in a normal leveled voice
They were gonna clean them??? Awesome! She didn't want to get burned or anything, but professor Newlin had worked at a Fire Crab reserve, so she would know how to not set them on fire. That would be scary!
Now, they had to partner up. That would be good, so the partners would make sure their partners didn't catch on fire! That must be it. Who was she gonna partner with? Everyone seemed to be partnered up already. Who wasn't?!? Sigh. She would have to do the unthinkable: partner up with Ariana. Cardigan actually wasn't scared of her, to tell ya the truth. She just liked totmenting her! It was quite fun. Walking over to Ariana, she asked, "Hey there! We're gonna partner up, mmkay?"
Professor, Hannah, PEEVES...and Elliot's diva moment.
A Poop * k8 *
At the word jewels Elliot's ears perked Up. They were..preeeeetty. And why would only muggles want them for their jewels? Elliot wanted a firecrab. And NOW. She thought about sending a letter to her father immediately following class and asking for a firecrab. She just wanted a jeweled pet. SO PRETTY!
She raised her hand, though. "So, Professor, Muggles about these creatures?" Shewanted to know..since they used the jewels? Weird.
And she turned to Hannah, "Wanna' work together? Silly me. Of COURSE you do," she said with a smirk as she went to go get two firecrab cages...okaaaaay...she came back and handed one to the Slytherin. Heh. She waited for further instruction.
Maybe Creatures wouldn't be so bad. Elliot could deal with thi--
WAIT HOLD ON WHAT IN MERLIN'S SO-
Elliot jumped up, seeing the STUPID poltergeist! She saw it coming before he did it....she covered her face, ducking a bit....but she felt them...IN HER HAIR.
"PROFESSOR GET THEM OUT! THEIR IN MY HAIR GET THEM OUT GET THEM OUT!!" she yelped, jumping around and shaking her head towards the ground..Merlin...she was flailing around like an IDIOT. She "MY HAAAAAAAIR!" Her beautiful, blonde hair.
HAD WORMS IN IT.
Worms. She turned to Hannah, still flailing about and looking like she was having a spasm..."Haaaanaaah!" she cried, wibbling a little.
ELLIOT HATED WORMS!

Kurumi nodded as she listened. That made sense. Sort of like using elephant tusks was not allowed. "I think I will go ask her," Kurumi nodded. Her curiosity was rather peaked now. Still, it would be rather neat if some of those jewels in there had belong to fire crabs. Maybe even a famous or ancient fire crab or something. After all, everything within Hogwarts had a story. Surely even those gems did too... hmmmm....

WHY WAS THEO GLARING AT HER?
Oh, wait, well...she HAD just tripped over him, so he did have a reason to be upset with her. WAIT WHAT?! "I-I-I did?!" she squeaked as she finally came to a rolling stop.

Did he...
Was that....
Whaaaaaaaa...
"Did you just swallow a worm?!" Oh gosh....that was...um....unsanitary?!
And then the Slytherin was crying and tugging on Kurumi's heart strings.
"M-M-Maybe it didn't go all the way down?" she suggested as she scurried over behind him and gave his back a firm pat.
When Professor Newlin said don't hurt them...did that include...you know....stomach juices slowly digesting them?

"YES, YOU DID." Theo confirmed, with a final point of his finger. It was only 'cause he was in the squatting position anyway, it was EASY to knock a squatter over, wasn't it? Theo didn't want to appear weak and stuff. He sighed loudly as she continued to apologize. Maybe it was an accident.
She'd have to compensate for it, though. Maybe if she gave him her prefect badge for the day, he would forgive her.
Theo covered his whole face with his hands as the tears kept streaming. But they were soon noticed by Kurumi. DARN.
He nodded at her question, still covering his face. But ideally, he wanted a hug. And a glass of water. "It d-did go down." He sniffed, then opened his mouth wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide to show Kurumi the contents.
WORM BREATH. He gave Kurumi a nice blast of it, just because this was all her fault.
.......
"Am I g-gonna get worms now?" He wasn't totally sure what it was, only that it was a disease. Professor? An antidote? Please?

JUMP.
Blink blink blink. Yeeeaaaah. She wasn't listening. At all. Just day-dreaming about a GIGANTIC slab of chocolate that was hidden under her pillow that she was gonna scoff later. So she got a HUGE fright when the fire crabs were shown and they were told they were going to have to CLEAN them. O______e She elbowed Cassia. "So....these things basically fart fire?" Um um um.... Taking flatulence issues to a new level, much?
She hopped up, when her friend did, just doing what she was doing. Get the brush, bucket yada yada yada...
"SO. We're gonna be PARTNERS, right?"

"Also, I don't know how," and she didn't want to either, "but Rubeus Hagrid somehow mated a Fire Crab and a Manticore to create the Blast-Ended Skrewts." But enough about them.
"And while there is a reserve, which I worked at before coming to Hogwarts, Fire Crab poaching is still happening and the number of creatures decrease each year." Sad, right? "They shouldn't be kept as pets." Even if the Ministry says people could. "But that is just my opinion."
Picking up the Fire Crab once he was out of the cage, Professor Newlin held it gently in her arms as she stood from the ground. She pulled out her wand, flicking it in the direction of the rest of the cages and the table by the shed, causing all the covers to come off. She may have forgotten about the jar of worms..
"As you can see, there are enough Fire Crabs for each of you." She glanced over at Daichi, if that was his name, and Kai, giving them both a small smile. "But if you'd rather work in pairs, that is fine."
"If there aren't any questions, I'd like you all to grab a bucket, a brush and a washcloth from off the table, then stand by one of the cages. Don't let the Fire Crabs out just yet. We'll have to get the water ready first."
Yup. They were going to be cleaning a Fire Crab.
OOC: Okay! If your character doesn't have any question, have them go over and pick up their supplies then pick out a Fire Crab to stand by! This does not have to be done in one post, you can RP finding a partner if you'd like. Or just talking, whatever. We'll start the activity in about.. 36 hours. So you all have time to post. =D Partners should have two Fire Crabs.
Okayyyy...
So they'd be cleaning fire crabs. Right. That didn't seem too difficult, seeing as Sierra was now a sixth year. It also didn't creep her out as much as doing things like this used to. She'd brewed so many potions by this point in her life that cleaning creatures and dealing with slimy substances was pretty much like second nature.
She watched the professor as she explained things, and then Sierra headed over to retrieve a bucket, brush, and washcloth. With her items in hand, she claimed a nearby fire crab and stood by it. Yup. She'd clean this one right here.

Sierra jumped a bit when she heard the sudden yell. Fire?! Well, duh. These were fire... Oh. It was Peeves. Sierra instinctively held her arms over her head, as if that'd do a world of good when Peeves attacked. He always did, and somebody always ended up with water or something other unpleasant surprise all over their heads.
Like...worms, for instance. Ewww. Now Sierra didn't mean dealing with them, but she didn't want them all over her head either.
She ducked and luckily avoided a cluster of worms aimed right for her head.

She raised her hand, though. "So, Professor, Muggles about these creatures?" Shewanted to know..since they used the jewels? Weird.
And she turned to Hannah, "Wanna' work together? Silly me. Of COURSE you do," she said with a smirk as she went to go get two firecrab cages...okaaaaay...she came back and handed one to the Slytherin. Heh. She waited for further instruction.

Worms. She turned to Hannah, still flailing about and looking like she was having a spasm..."Haaaanaaah!" she cried, wibbling a little.
ELLIOT HATED WORMS!
"Whoa...wait!" Sierra exclaimed, looking over at the Claw just next to her. The girl was going mad with the thought of worms in her hair, and...well, Sierra couldn't blame her. At the same time, though--these worms, they were valuable in things like potions (well, flobberworms, at least), and...Sierra just couldn't stand to see them destroyed.
"Stand still," she instructed. "You're going to...give them a heart attack." could worms even have a heart attack? "Just...stop shaking and try to keep still, and I'll get them out." She started gently plucking the worms from the girl's hair and putting them back into a nearby jar.
"There...see," she said, showing her the jar, "...they're coming out, and...we're keeping all the professor's hard-earned worms in the process." She smirked at that. It was an amusing thought.

She might as well have hugged Dylan when she rose to her feet, then hesitantly turning her head at Spike, she mumbled, "Urmm..see you 'round Spike." Because she wasn't going to work with him. She just can't...not now anyway.
Then to Dylan.
"Thank you." she whispered silently as she pulled his arm towards the cages so they could pick their fire crabs. Just when they were a few steps off, a shrill voice filled the air. It was Peeves! Doing nonsense once again. She was going to tell Dylan they ignore the poltergeist and get on with the task when the ghost hoisted the jar of worms around the students.
UGH.
A few worms landed on her shoulder and she quickly brushed them off. Peeves really needed a smack in the head. Beezus turned to the Slytherin and saw worms on his head. "You've got...errr...worms," she told him as she stood on tiptoe and swept the creatures off his blonde mane.
Dylan was definitely pleased that Beezus had decided to get up and walk away from Spook. He would have been a liar had he not admitted as much. Not that she was asking...No, it was more of an internal thing. Yes, to himself, the Slytherin Captain could say TOTAL WIN.
Thank you? Yes, you are welcome.
Of course...as they were walking away...or better yet, as Dylan was being dragged away, who should make an appearance? That ridiculously STUPID Poltergeist...
Peeves.
GLARE.
Suddenly, worms and dirt were flying everywhere. The Slytherin, who couldn't stand things crawling in him...save for Charlotte, froze immediately. They were in his hair...He could FEEL them sliding around...YES...
INNER FLAIL!
Surely his horror was clearly painted across his face...but Bee was there to save him. She was brushing them off herself and then moving closer to do the same for him. Sweet Merlin, Dylan adored this girl...and as she was moving closer to him, the Slytherin took a few moments to appreciate her up close.
Her hair looked beautiful today...and dirt had somehow missed it. For some reason, he was grateful.
"So...shall we?" COUGH. Not waiting for a response, his hand moved to find hers, accomplishing it's task before grasping it gently. He tugged her in the direction fo FIRE CRAB cages..............Yes. His earlier excitement was back!
...And as an afterthought..."Professor, should we gather the worms back up for you?" Really, she'd been collecting them at the beginning of the lesson. Seemed like a terrible waste to just have them then taken and splayed everywhere.

Vanora listened to the rest of the students give their answers, even chuckling at the couple who mentioned the Fire Crab's 'bathroom' habits. Thankfully, the creatures that she had caged had already been fed and even did their stuff beforehand. That would have been quite a mess.
Anyway..
"Right. So, as the rest of you said, Fire Crabs are native to the islands of Fiji. And as you can see." she pointed to the Fire Crab in the cage before slowly opening the door of it, so she could grab him once he made his way out. If he ever made his way out, "Despite its six legs, it has more of a resemblance to that of a turtle. The jeweled shell, which a few of you said could be fitted with either rubies, sapphires or emeralds, is highly valuable for both wizards and muggles. Wizards use the shell as a cauldron because its much harder than any material and won't burn as easily. The muggles use it for the jewels." Both selfish. "There is something that neither a crab or turtle can do, but the Fire Crab can.

Annabelle heard the professor's directions. She felt her stomach drop when she said they all had to clean a fire carb. This sounded dangerous but she would work with someone so it shouldn't be so bad. Belle went over to the supplies area and got her wash cloth, bucket and brush. She got all her necessary items before she started.
They were going to clean firecrabs? Wow. That was so much fun. Although Indy didn't really know how to do it. Maybe partnering up would be a good idea? Things were always good when you paired up. Although it would be cool to say she'd done it herself, but she didn't want to end up with a huge burn or something. That would be be good considering it was quidditch season. She had to be in tip top condition to ensure that Ravenclaw managed to get the championship again this term.
She chewed on her lip, looking around a little. Would someone like to partner with her? "Anyone need a partner?"
Firecrabs... Then, Peeves... It's not that Xing was calm throughout the chaos, but he had no idea what was going on. His poker face stared blankly at the trees in the forest. He looked around him to see people getting together in pair and the professor has spoken again... "Huh? What the..?" he mumbled to himself, wondering what was happening.
Xing heard a girly voice from behind him, trying to find a partner, he concluded. He approaches the younger girl... Who is apparently a Ravenclaw. At least he got to get to know people outside of Slytherin. "I can be your partner..." said Xing smiling brightly. As bright as his Slytherin badge on his cloak.

Cassia pushed the bucket of her head seeing that the worms weren't near her and the Slytherin prefect was putting them back into jars. Good you do that Prefect. Wasn't that their job? Not collecting worms of course but helping others and that kinda stuff.

She hopped up, when her friend did, just doing what she was doing. Get the brush, bucket yada yada yada...
"SO. We're gonna be PARTNERS, right?"
Because she NEEDED her.
She was not cleaning those THINGS on her own.
Nope.
So Cassia glanced at Blue who was next to her but Cassia might have not noticed as she was pretty busy keeping worms away from her clean hair. "I know right!" Cassia wrinkled her forehead when Blue mentioned the fire-fretting creatures. "That is so not call. It is actually disgusting." You know not the fire of course it was the farting part.
"Sure we are partners!" Cassia nodded enthusiastically. You know Blue is a Ravenclaw and Ravvies are smart and they seem to always know what to do, no? though this task didn't seem to require any smartness . Cassia actually appreciated the company. She NEEDED someone to talk to while bathing this creature.
"Come on," Cassia said linking her arm with Blue's, "Let's go and choose a couple of Fire Crabs who don't look so mean," As if that was even possible. And the second-year started walking towards the cages along with her friend .

He already had a bucket, a brush and a washcloth by him. Yeah Nigel has been practicing the accio spell in his free time. All he had to do was walk over to a fire crab. Nigel did not really want to get up and go to a fire crab right now. So he decided to stay laying on the ground until Professor Newlin took care of Peeves. Nigel had no problem with worms. They could not bite him like spiders and snakes can.
Nigel even decided to close his eyes and take a nap until somebody woke him or shouted at him. He did not really want to work with a partner and since she did not say it was mandatory. He would work alone on this one. If he ever woke up that is.

Oh no. It was a slytherin. A slytherin that was coming over and wanting to be her partner. Indy chewed on her lip, staring at him. She couldn't just totally ignore all slytherins because of Dylan right? Well. Obviously not Daichi. She liked Daichi too much to not be friends with him. She smiled at the boy. "Hi." And he seemed nice, he was smiling his little head off. "Sure!" She nodded, taking a little look around.
She kind of stared as she saw Beezus, with Dylan. She bit on her lip staring at them. So much for not losing her best friend. She frowned, and turned back to the other Slytherin. That was it. She didn't care about either of them anymore. She didn't need them. "I'm Indiana!" She nodded with a big smile. And then there were worms everywhere.
"Interesting..." She mused, picking one up from her shoulder, and dropping it down onto the floor. She wasn't scared of them. Her brother kept a spider in his hair after all. "So...the firecrabs?"

And see!?
She liked this girl already! Not only was she happy that she joined Hogwarts, unless she was just saying that, which probably was the case, she introduced herself. Introductions were important. Putting the worm she had collected in her jar, she turned to face the girl just so she had a face to go with the name. Got it. "Nice to meet you, Minerva. I'm happy to be here." So far. She would see how the lesson went.
But, if all the kids stayed as excited as they seemed to be, she didn't think there would be any problems. Hopefully. She was hoping. "Good day to you."
"Hello!" Vanora grinned from her spot on the ground. Probably should be getting up soon. He jar was almost full of worms..
Were the kids like this in their Herbology lessons? Merlin, it was just a little bit of dirt and some wriggling worms. Surely they had touched.. messier things in their plant class. But to each their own. "Hello." And he didn't have to shake her hand if her didn't want to. Hmph.
Her face was going to hurt from all the grinning and greeting she was doing. Vanora lifted her free hand and gave herself a poke in the cheek. Stop hurting! "Hello! Nice to meet you!" Although, it would have been nicer if there was a name to go with that greeting.
"Hi there!" she grinned.
At least some of them were actually sitting on the grass. Unlike those few standers. Vanora made a small mental note to remember to place some kind of bench thing down for the next lesson. "Hello."
Vanora smiled as the newest arrival made her way into the pasture. "Hi!"
The boy had actually laid down in the dirt! That was what she liked to see. "I told you." she called over to him, returning the thumbs up with one of her own. Maybe he could pick worms while he was down there, too.
Quiet one. Vanora pointed at him.
She wasn't really that hard to spot, was she? Oh well. "Hello."
O_O
Madame?
Err.. okay. Vanora sent the girl another smile before glancing over at the nearest covered cage. Which just happened to be emitting smoke.
Probably a really good time to start the lesson.
Moving into a sitting position, Vanora placed the worm that she was holding in between her fingers into the jar before putting the lid on top. And in case anyone was wondering if they were going to be working with worms, which she suspected they were all thinking, and which the answer would be no, she slowly hid the jar behind her back.
If no one could see it, it wasn't there.
"All right." she cleared her throat to get everyone's attention as she wiped her hands off on her jeans. "I think everyone who wants to be here is here, and if they're not.." Then they were just going to be late, that was all. "As some of you already know, I am Professor Newlin and as everyone should know, this is Care of Magical Creatures." There was some emphasis on the 'Care' part; they would see why when the hands on lesson starts. The best part, in her opinion.
And just because she really did want to get to the best part, she pulled the cage that was smoking the most closer to herself and tugged the covering from off of it.
She waited for the imaginary 'ohhs' and 'ahhs' of the students to die down before.. "Who can tell me what they know about Fire Crabs? One thing per person, and," if it wasn't too much trouble, "it would be nice if you told me your names as well."
OOC: The lesson has officially started! Don't worry about mentioning the same thing as another person, you will still get credit for it. But creativity is awesome, just so you know. =D
Minerva thought for a second she had read something about fire crabs before, but what was it. She tried to think and then she put up her hand, "Professor, Fire crabs are creatures that have six legs, and look like kind of like a turtle." She then put her hand down and remembered she didn't say her name, "Ooops sorry Professor, Minerva Wheatborn, fourth year Hufflepuff." she smiled sheepishly at her lack of memory.

How many people would laugh if she said fart?
Turning away from Cassia, the smile she was wearing instantly faded when she glanced at.. Daichi? That was his name, right? He may not have introduced himself, but she had heard Kurumi talking to him. Not that she was really listening..
"Why?" her eyebrows raised slightly, "Because that's what we're going to be working with today?" Would he rather dig for worms!?
"Well, I've never heard of a Fire Crab burning off someone's nose." But then again, she didn't know anyone who would want their nose that close to its rear.
"But it will try to defend itself." So really, whichever body part was closest would be in danger.
SPOILER!!: Harlan and Aspen XD
That was a very good question!
Vanora shifted herself on the ground more comfortably, and was just about to get into a very long winded speech to answer when another student spoke up. Actually, it was that Ravenclaw who spoke up. Who.. wasn't all that wrong. "They're actually not dumb creatures." And if she was holding the Fire Crab on her lap like she wanted to, she would have covered his ears so he wouldn't have to hear such insults.
"Their shells are heavy, so yes, it does slow them down a bit. And while they can defend themselves to some extent, it's not enough. People who hunt Fire Crabs, poachers, they don't exactly travel on their own. And even if they do travel on their own, it's not that difficult to capture," or kill, "a Fire Crab. The shells are hard and impenetrable, but the rest of the creature is not."
And she didn't know what rear-mirrors would do to help, so she didn't even mention them. She gave the Hufflepuff a smile, though. That answered the question?
Scary!?
Vanora lifted the cage of the Fire Crab and moved her face closer. How could anyone think that? They were cute! And their shells were shiny. "That's just an opinion."
"That could go either way, you know. The Fire Crabs may have adapted to the heat and the fire, but no one really knows if they like it." Fire does come out of its rear.
Did the creatures really like that? Hmm.
Err..
Okay..
Vanora blinked up at the boy, and it may have taken her a moment to think of what to say. That was.. just wrong on so many levels. "There may be something wrong with you if you are comparing the looks and temperature of a Fire Crab to the girls of Hogwarts." She was going to talk to Cece about checking that one out.
That answer seemed oddly, oddly familiar. And it only took her a second to realize why.
"Right. No one should ride them." And if the girl was thinking it.. "The fire does not make it move faster."
SPOILER!!: Correcto answers!
Vanora listened to the rest of the students give their answers, even chuckling at the couple who mentioned the Fire Crab's 'bathroom' habits. Thankfully, the creatures that she had caged had already been fed and even did their stuff beforehand. That would have been quite a mess.
Anyway..

"And while there is a reserve, which I worked at before coming to Hogwarts, Fire Crab poaching is still happening and the number of creatures decrease each year." Sad, right? "They shouldn't be kept as pets." Even if the Ministry says people could. "But that is just my opinion."
Picking up the Fire Crab once he was out of the cage, Professor Newlin held it gently in her arms as she stood from the ground. She pulled out her wand, flicking it in the direction of the rest of the cages and the table by the shed, causing all the covers to come off. She may have forgotten about the jar of worms..
"As you can see, there are enough Fire Crabs for each of you." She glanced over at Daichi, if that was his name, and Kai, giving them both a small smile. "But if you'd rather work in pairs, that is fine."

Minerva listened as the Professor told them about the Fire Crabs and what they would be doing with the crabs today. Hmmm.. this would be interesting, she hoped they wouldn't get scared and toot out a flame. Minerva chuckled at that thought even though if it would burn it probably wouldn't be fun. Once they were told what they needed to get for the activity Minerva smiled.
Headed towards the buckets, Minerva picked one up. Then she looked around seeing Ariana, "Hey Ari, want to work together?" she knew they could work alone, but thought it would be more fun with a friend, plus if the Fire Crabs did shoot flames from their behind then she had a friend to laugh with her.
SPOILER!!: Peeves and Professor

At least, he wasn't talking about another part of the face getting burned. "That's more of a possibility. But let's just hope these Fire Crabs don't get that annoyed."
Oh!
Another really good question. Vanora shifted the Fire Crab she was holding to her other arm as she turned to face Kurumi. "I'm not entirely sure. But, since the Fire Crab is a protected species, even if they were to die of natural causes, I don't think they would use the gems for an hour glass." And now she was curious as to where those gems came from that were in the hourglasses. "Perhaps that is a question for the Headmistress." There could be some extra points if the Prefect did ask the woman, too. Hmm.
And finally, the question she was actually waiting for! Vanora thought that would be the question everyone would be asking. Unless, which was a huge possibility, everyone wanted to see a Fire Crab shoot its flame. It was an amazing thing to watch.
"As soon as everyone has their supplies and a Fire Crab, I'll let you know." she tossed Cassia a wink, and was just about to address the class once more when..
Peeves happened.
As if she wasn't nervous enough teaching her very first lesson, she just had to deal with the Poltergeist. Heaving a great sigh, and mumbling a few colorful words under her breath, Vanora placed the Fire Crab she had been holding back in its cage. No need to see the amazing act of Fire Crab butt flaming while there were kids being wormed on. And.. did Kurumi just push Theodore to the ground!? She did realize it was Peeves who threw the worms, right!? Dear Merlin..
"PEEVES!" she turned around so quickly that the few worms that had landed on her flew right off. And they were already digging their way into the ground. Did he know how long it took her to collect them all!? "I swear to Merlin, I will march myself right into Hogwarts, grab the Bloody Baron by the chains and drag him out here if you do not leave." Idle threat? Yes. Because everyone knew that she wouldn't be able to grab the Baron's chains. Another heaving sigh and she turned back to the students.
"They are only worms, they won't hurt you. So don't hurt them." As in, if she saw anyone try to squash them, she would take so many points away. So. Many. Points.
Minerva heard the voice before she saw him. PEEVES... really PEEVES.. he was always around at the craziest time. Minerva remembered the last time she saw him, was at the capture the flag game. Then there were worms on her she couldn't help but smile a bit and put the bucket down. Pulling worms off of her she collected them nicely in her hand. "Professor, where do you want these worms that were in my hair?" she walked towards the professor collecting worms as she went, no sense in leaving them where people could step on them. She came to one that was half in the ground but she pulled it carefully and took it out of the ground.

So...Ella had been going to gather her supplies when Peeves happened. PEEVES. EEP!
O___O
The third year was suddenly covered in worms and dirt, feeling the little squirmies wriggling in her hair and a few down her robes. ICK. Without hesitation, the small blonde began to pick the worms out of her hair, watching with wide eyes as the other students and Professor Newlin reacted to the pesky poltergeist. That's right Professor, you tell him whose boss. PREACH.And as for the handful of worms Ella was now holding, she held it out in front of her with raised eyebrows, wondering where to put the things. There must be a jar or something for them, yeah?
And then Ella heard...was someone crying? The third year looked around and spotted a wibbling Theodore. OH MERLIN'S BEARD. She shook her head, noting that he was probably claiming Peeves had tried to MURDER him or something, and then proceeded to wiggle around. She really needed to get the rest of the worms from inside her robes. YUCK. As for the dirt that was now stuck in her hair. ...She wasn't pleased.
So Cassia glanced at Blue who was next to her but Cassia might have not noticed as she was pretty busy keeping worms away from her clean hair. "I know right!" Cassia wrinkled her forehead when Blue mentioned the fire-fretting creatures. "That is so not call. It is actually disgusting." You know not the fire of course it was the farting part.
"Sure we are partners!" Cassia nodded enthusiastically. You know Blue is a Ravenclaw and Ravvies are smart and they seem to always know what to do, no? though this task didn't seem to require any smartness . Cassia actually appreciated the company. She NEEDED someone to talk to while bathing this creature.
"Come on," Cassia said linking her arm with Blue's, "Let's go and choose a couple of Fire Crabs who don't look so mean," As if that was even possible. And the second-year started walking towards the cages along with her friend .
"It's YUCK-TACULAR." Not just yuck. But yuck-tacular. Which was something she'd just made up on the spot. Because she was awesome like that. Mhm. But seriously. She gave the creatures a grossed-out look, and shuddered. ........"I wonder what happens when it poops. More fire or...?" Ugh. Best not think about it.
BEAM BEAM BEAM. Yay! Cassia was really awesome. And nice. Super nice. "BAGSY NOT CLEANING THEIR REAR-END!" She yelled suddenly. Because she NEEDED the She-Snake to know that that was her job. Not Blue's. Nope.
Oh yay. They were linking arms and everything. More BEAMing. "Oh right." Blue eyed the cages, finding herself shrinking against Cassia, kinda afraid. Well...not just kinda. Very afraid. She had a phobia of fire-breathing and fire-farting things/creatures.

Did the creatures really like that? Hmm.
Vanora listened to the rest of the students give their answers, even chuckling at the couple who mentioned the Fire Crab's 'bathroom' habits. Thankfully, the creatures that she had caged had already been fed and even did their stuff beforehand. That would have been quite a mess.
Anyway..
"Right. So, as the rest of you said, Fire Crabs are native to the islands of Fiji. And as you can see." she pointed to the Fire Crab in the cage before slowly opening the door of it, so she could grab him once he made his way out. If he ever made his way out, "Despite its six legs, it has more of a resemblance to that of a turtle. The jeweled shell, which a few of you said could be fitted with either rubies, sapphires or emeralds, is highly valuable for both wizards and muggles. Wizards use the shell as a cauldron because its much harder than any material and won't burn as easily. The muggles use it for the jewels." Both selfish. "There is something that neither a crab or turtle can do, but the Fire Crab can. If the creature feels threatened, or even annoyed," as Theodore said, "they defend themselves by shooting a jet of flame from their.. well, their butts." No laughing, please. "Also, I don't know how," and she didn't want to either, "but Rubeus Hagrid somehow mated a Fire Crab and a Manticore to create the Blast-Ended Skrewts." But enough about them.
"And while there is a reserve, which I worked at before coming to Hogwarts, Fire Crab poaching is still happening and the number of creatures decrease each year." Sad, right? "They shouldn't be kept as pets." Even if the Ministry says people could. "But that is just my opinion."
Picking up the Fire Crab once he was out of the cage, Professor Newlin held it gently in her arms as she stood from the ground. She pulled out her wand, flicking it in the direction of the rest of the cages and the table by the shed, causing all the covers to come off. She may have forgotten about the jar of worms..
"As you can see, there are enough Fire Crabs for each of you." She glanced over at Daichi, if that was his name, and Kai, giving them both a small smile. "But if you'd rather work in pairs, that is fine."
"If there aren't any questions, I'd like you all to grab a bucket, a brush and a washcloth from off the table, then stand by one of the cages. Don't let the Fire Crabs out just yet. We'll have to get the water ready first."
Yup. They were going to be cleaning a Fire Crab.
OOC: Okay! If your character doesn't have any question, have them go over and pick up their supplies then pick out a Fire Crab to stand by! This does not have to be done in one post, you can RP finding a partner if you'd like. Or just talking, whatever. We'll start the activity in about.. 36 hours. So you all have time to post. =D Partners should have two Fire Crabs.
That was true, she guessed. They didn't know whether fire crabs liked fire. But why wouldn't they? They were FIRE crabs. And it was kinda cool that they could shoot fire at things, even if it was out of an awkward place. So Penelope assumed the fire crabs probably liked fire.
And now it seemed they were going to wash the fire crabs? That should be fun. The second year walked over to the table and grabbed a bucket, washcloth, and brush and then went over to one of the cages that didn't have anyone beside them. She also looked around to see if there was anyone else who wanted and a partner and didn't have one but didn't immediately see anyone.
But then...

"FIRE!

Flying around their heads he spotted a jar of dirt... and worms.
PERFECT!
"HAVE NO FEAR, PEEVES IS HERE! HE'LL PUT OUT THOSE FIRES!" Or maybe just feed the crabs.
Swooping down he snatched up the jar FULL of creepy crawlies and started dumping them all over the place. Worms were everywhere! On the ground, tables... on the students, in their hair, slithering down their backs...
Peeves appeared. And it started raining worms.
Penelope didn't mind them much, but she also didn't appreciate when she felt a few land in her hair. That was her HAIR. Hair some people thought was NICE, and possibly the only nice thing about her. And it wasn't exactly nice if there were worms in it, was it?
Wrinkling her nose in slight disgust, she set down her bucket, brush, and washcloth on the ground at her feet and used both hands to search her hair and pull the worms out. Ugh.

Maybe he had been just snickering but just when Dylan started to laugh, Richard let out a laughter as well. His best friend understood his point well, right? Of course he did.
''You know, mate. They needed it.'' he said with a grinning face once his laughter was over.

The reaction from THAT girl did not escape Richard's eyes. Well, well, well. Of course, she did not look happy but the girls in this school were not making him feel happy either since the very first day. Though, Rich had not seen that girl before so she was not among the girls in his mind when he compared them to Fire Crabs. He tried to caught an eye contact with the girl and sent her a wink with a grin when he managed to do so.

And there was Ariana oooor Ari, of course. Just when he was looking for the reactions from the girls in the class, Richard found her staring at him, well, him and Dylan. The expression on her face made the Slytherin boy smirk. Eh...she was not always going to be the rude one, right? And yeah...it was hard to accept a fact for her, apparently. Embrace it, girl!
Still smirking, he shoke his head a bit at her as if he did not know why she was staring. ''Problem, sweetheart?''

Yes, professor woman you heard it right and the look you were giving to him was not going to change his ideas about the relationship between Hogwarts' girls and Fire Crabs. Wondering what she would say, though, the Slytherin stared back at the woman and when she spoke, he had to raise his eyebrows.
Something wrong? With him?
*snort*
He thought there was something wrong with the girls. ''Maybe you are right. I should have also included the mood. They are as friendly as a Fire Crab.'' The only difference was that girls did not shoot fire out of their butts as the professor said Fire Crabs would do. He had to admit though, they were interesting creatures. Both the girls and Fire Crab and if he supposed he could practice his skills of befriending girls with the Fire Crabs. If he managed to befriend a Fire Crab maybe he could befriend a Hogwarts girl too. Nice reasoning. Hehehe.

Lazily, the Slytherin walked to get a bucket, a brush and a washcloth and at the same time he was eyeing people to look for a partner who would not mess up their work. They would not mess up anyway would they? They definitely would not if they were a girl since he thought girls and Fire Crabs might get along well with so many things in common they had.
But then....something happened.
What was this? Another ghost? Richard frowned as he watched the ghost-like creature and his frown deepened when worms started to rain on everyone. Then he looked around only to see people act so ridiculously over a bunch of worms. He could not say that he enjoyed worms on him but there was seriously no need for freaking out and yelling.
''Really?!!'' he murmured as he picked up a worm on his soulder and lazily threw it away.

BEAM BEAM BEAM. Yay! Cassia was really awesome. And nice. Super nice. "BAGSY NOT CLEANING THEIR REAR-END!" She yelled suddenly. Because she NEEDED the She-Snake to know that that was her job. Not Blue's. Nope.
Oh yay. They were linking arms and everything. More BEAMing. "Oh right." Blue eyed the cages, finding herself shrinking against Cassia, kinda afraid. Well...not just kinda. Very afraid. She had a phobia of fire-breathing and fire-farting things/creatures.
EEEEP.
"They're kinda scary."
And no, she wasn't a coward. Nope.
Cassia nodded in agrrement, "It is Yuck-Tacular." Though she had no idea what did it mean. But Blue was saying it so it must've meant something and maybe even a smart thing as Blue is Ravenclaw. So Cassia wouldn't mind looking smart and all ,it even served her well as she was supposed to get smarter this term. Which she wasn't really working out.
The second-year made a face when Blue mentioned the poop-issue. "Let's hope that we don't get to find out while cleaning it." She told Blue. Because liking the Professor or not, Cassia wasn't cleaning any poops.
"Nah…I don't think Professor Newlin expects anyone to clean their," PAUSE "Rear-end." You know if the Professor was expecting this then she was going to have a big shock and she might re-think the others tasks in store as well.
As they got to the cages, Cassia felt Blue pressing against her. She glanced at the Eagle. Was she afraid of the creatures? No really? Well, obviously smartness comes in a price. Well, then it was fortunate that Cassia didn't mind creatures UNLESS they don't frat fire and burn her! Cassia decided that she wasn't going to point out Blue's fear though it didn't need any pointing out as the Ravvie was kinda turning blue…Hehee Blue the Blue.
"Ahem…I'll go grab two cages for the both of us. Okay?" She offered. However, she will grab the creatures but if anything needed THINKING it must be done by the Blue. Deal?

So the jewels COULD be used, just wizards didn't. It just wasn't the best idea to keep them as pets. They wouldn't make really good pets, like a dog or a cat could. Cardigan couldn't see why anybody would want to! Wouldn't want to burn your children, or yourself, to death, right? Maybe she'd ask the professor more after class.
They were gonna clean them??? Awesome! She didn't want to get burned or anything, but professor Newlin had worked at a Fire Crab reserve, so she would know how to not set them on fire. That would be scary!
Now, they had to partner up. That would be good, so the partners would make sure their partners didn't catch on fire! That must be it. Who was she gonna partner with? Everyone seemed to be partnered up already. Who wasn't?!? Sigh. She would have to do the unthinkable: partner up with Ariana. Cardigan actually wasn't scared of her, to tell ya the truth. She just liked totmenting her! It was quite fun. Walking over to Ariana, she asked, "Hey there! We're gonna partner up, mmkay?"
Ariana was just standing there accepting her fate that she was dealing with the fire crabs all by her lonesome when she was approached by the evil & gross Cardian who practically demanded that she partner with her "Uhmm no." she said to her though seeing everyone else she thought hey she could set cardigan of FIRE!'"ugh Fine i guess" she said a few moments later
Then Min Approached her.. 'Really world! am I hated that much.' she thought to herself yet again "sorry min i've already agreed to work with Cardigan though maybe we can work as a group of 3.. " Maybe.. probablly not She sighed.
then Rich gave his comment back to her, She looked over at him an mimicked him "problem,Sweetheart." it was no surprise that the boy was good looking but i mean come on have some respect for a girl would ya.. i mean lord have mercy this guy was something else
And then Peeves came and Ari saw him pick up the jar of Worms and she instinctively ducked down and tried to use Cardigan as a sheild but to no Avail she was covered in several worms and ariana sprang to her feet shoving cardigan out of the way.. possibly knocking her over Ariana didnt bother to see if she had fell. she squirmed and squeaked getting all the worms off of her. "ohh get um off get um off get um OFFFFF." yes she was a girl and NO she did NOT LIKE WORMS. She looked at cardigan "Don't just stand there, get them off meee." This girl was USELESS.. she was defiantly being set on fire
She looked around and noticed only several people reacting he way she was over the worms, including Kurumi and Little baby Theo... was.. was he crying....
She watched an saw him open his to kurumi which only meant one thing.. Theo Kinsley ate a worm..... UGHH "Professor are worms good to eat if you were to swallow one because i think Mr Kingsley Might need some help." she said pointing to the Crying slytherin boy
Ariana had gotten all the worms off of her and they were going back into the dirt 'bye bye suckers.' she said as she gave the worms a mental wave goodbye

But we're not going to, simply because you two are awfully silent and awkward. So.." She gave an apologetic smile to both of them, "I'm going to join my boyfriend over there." She gestured toward Vickers, staring at the cages, "And I suggest you two work together on this. It'll help ease the tension." Obviously Louisa had no idea why those two were like this, but her advice was genuine. "I do hope you work it out." She added gently before walking away.
She sneaked up behind him, a grin starting to spread over her face, and very carefully positioned herself behind him. Barely containing herself she threw her arms around his torso, squeezing, and pushing against him. "Hey there!" She giggled!greeted before unhooking her arms. "Wanna be partners?" Geddit? GRIN. Without waiting for an answer, coz, really, Louisa didn't find another person with him and she didn't think he'd refuse... right? D:
"Why didn't you choose a cage yet?" She headed toward the nearest one and started dragging it to the side, making sure to keep her distance from the creature.
See? It was easy to claim.
Those piercing blues was shifting between caged crab to caged crab rather carefully. He cares for Creatures very much indeed, but bathing them where he was 1.) ill trained in handling them and 2.) has vested interest in keeping his eyebrows singed-free has him considering which crab to take carefully. Suddenly he lurched forward when he felt someone tackle him from behind. Lurching forward he gripped the arm around his torso but the smile tugged at his lips almost at the same time. He knows that voice.
Partners? "Sure why not?" he grinned back, that kind of smarty grin that gives more than what his words meant. But as Louisa neared a cage and grabbed the nearest one any word of caution he wanted to say was caught in his throat. Mouth slightly agape he eyed the cage she dragged along with her.
The firecrab was..... asleep?
"Well lets hope it stays this calm when we work with it huh?" He smiles cautiously as he took the crab cage from her. What a way to test if their luck would hold today eh?
And as if the wicked Fates heard that challenge-- Peeves showed up.
He winced as the worm-rain started to fall, using himself (and the caged firecrab) to shield Louisa. Ok that was incredibly.... disgusting and infuriating. Disgusting because they were worms. Infuriating because they were collected baithelpless worms.
He heard the Professor holler at them about not harming the worms "Of course... ' he muttered as he checked Louisa over for any worm that may have slipped past him. "You ok?" he mumbled at the ginger Head Girl.
And the fire crab in the cage? It just woke up. Oh and look-- squirmy, slimy breakfast in bed!
