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!

He briefly wondered how often people got burned handling those things when he heard the professor mention working with partners. Hmm, that might be a good idea - less chance of getting burned, somehow... or more likely? The 5th year was just about to ask the Ravenclaw girl (Helen) who had spoken to him at the beginning of class to partner up when chaos broke out.
Another ghost? Ethan watched curiously for a moment then ducked and covered his head with his arm when worms started flying everywhere. He didn't really have a problem with worms but he didn't necessarily want to be covered with them. When it seemed Peeves was finished with the worm assault, Ethan brushed a few from his shoulders. He raised an eyebrow, then rolled his eyes at the reaction of many of the girls in the class. For Merlin's sake, they were only worms! Girls could be such drama queens...
After the excitement died down, Ethan turned back to his fellow Claw, but it seemed she had found another partner. Shrugging to himself, he started over to the cages to begin his work. He certainly wouldn't be opposed to having a partner, but he'd get started with his work in the meantime.
Minerva was looking around to see if she could find anyone else needing a partner when she noticed a boy looking around. With the worms still in her hand she headed towards the boy. "Hello, I'm Minerva. Would you like to be my partner for this activity?" She hoped he didn't mind her hand full of worms, she knew some boy might find that odd out of a girl, but she didn't care. "I need to see where the professor wants to to put these and I had gotten a bucket, but peeves stopped me from getting the rest." she smiled at him hoping he would want to be her partner.
Vivi heard the voice, but her first sweeping glance found no one. So... was she going mad, or what? Her second glance, though, caught the younger Claw giving her a beseeching look, and Vivi gave the lad a wry smile.
"Hey, Nigel. I'm Vivi, and I would be delighted to be your partner." It was odd to be so formal with a kid about the same age as her younger brother, but how else did one respond to someone just recently raised from the dead? "You have some dirt in your hair, you know?"
And because he was the same age or so as Mo, Vivi felt free to brush the dirt off of him.
"Awesome, Hi Vivi" Now Nigel had a partner. He did know he had some dirt on him. He was taking a nap on the grass after all. But apparently Peeves got some in his hair. Nigel did not like that poltergeist one bit.
Nigel was just wiped the dirt out of his hair when Vivi did it for him. "Umm Do you want to go over and get the fire crabs we need?" It appeared they both had a bucket, brush and a washcloth.

Fire crabs... right. Already this would have been an exciting class....but of course it had to be even more exciting now that Peeves had decided to show up. After the worm attack, Lily walked over towards the fire crabs before deciding that she wanted to work with a partner. "Um... does anyone need a partner??? Please..." She called out looking around for someone to work with.

"I can go, but you might want to come with. I'm liable to choose the ones that look the most feisty just to see what a fire crab can really do when properly motivated," Vivi shrugged and hefted the handle on her bucket up over her shoulder like a fancy purse.
"Let's go choose two fire crabs together. Maybe one that looks wide awake and one that looks a bit dopey. For comparison purposes." Science!

Not for long, though. In an instant, the sky started pouring WORMS!! EWWW! But before she could even freak out and flail and all that jazz, Vickers was serving as her umbrella. Louisa kind of took advantage of this without hesitation, clutching his shirt and burying her face into it. No one has to hear her squeaking. She didn't feel any icky slimey stuff falling on her thankfully, but the worm!rain didn't really last that long unfortunately and soon Louisa found herself pulling away from her boyfriend.
"Thank you!!" She beamed up at him and if the stupid students and professor and undead ghost weren't around, the Ravenclaw girl would've pressed her mouth to his. As it was the case, she just gave him a sparkly eye smile. HE SAVED HER! :3
...she was very comfortably staring at Vickers and checking his hawwwtttt self for any left worms, not that she was going to TOUCH them but she could squeak!warn him about it, but then the poltergeist screeched something about a dead kid. That snapped the Head Girl out of it and with a frown she looked at the sound's source to find Peeves shoving dirt on-- "Nigel!" Grabbing Vickers' hand and dragging him with her, she ran toward the ghost. "Nigel?" She was sure the boy didn't just drop dead from worms. "Get away from him! Shoo shoo!" She tried to kick the wicked humorous Peeves, her foot going right through his bum.

O_____________O Well Nigel knew for sure he was not dead. He was only taking a nap. He opened his eyes just to check that he was still living. Yep, still in CoMC class.
Nigel sits up, just to see Louisa try a kick a ghost. Nigel slightly confused wonder what he missed. "Did I miss something" Nigel asked Louisa. He guessed it was now time to get his fire crab before the Professor noticed. He walks over to a fire crab cage with all things he needed
"You're very welcome!" he murmured as he smiled back at his girlfriend-- wow he's still trying to get used to that-- and such close proximity almost makes the everything else fade away...
Almost.
Between the annoying screeching poltergeist and Louisa rushing over to where Nigel was being buried alive, Vickers attention shifted to everything else but their little private moment. Laying the cage and their supplies onto the ground he was about to brush the dirt off Nigel when at the corner of his eye he saw Louisa taking aim at Peeves "No wait--!" he caught her arms and tried to pull her back, not knowing if her foot actually made contact with the malicious specter. "Dont bother with him... only the Bloody Baron can control him. Besides I think he keeps grudges..." he mumbles close to Louisa's ear as he glares at Peeves. And it was annoying how he had to take his own advise too-- otherwise he'd be using Peeve's head as target practice right about now.

Daichi froze in shock as he was caught staring at Indy. His cheeks now flushed with embarrassment as Juliet said that she was pretty. Yes. yes she was, Indy was pretty. The Slytherin did not answer her though and merely made a noise of acknowledgement that he had heard her before turning away.
Just in time to hear a familiar voice echoing through the air. Daichi's eyes widened as they caught the sight of Peeves and he then looked at the fire-crabs. Oh no, he wasn't going to throw them right?!
He was so busy with the fire crabs and eyeing them that he nearly jumped again when Juliet grabbed his arm and shrieked something about *taking it off*
Take WHAT off?!
Seeing the panicked look on the girls face, it reminded him of himself oddly enough and he then caught the sight of a worm on her hair. Seriously? a worm? "Hold still" he said as he tried to brush the worm off of her head. Geez! it was just a worm!
Then he heard Peeves saying something about there being a dead kid in class and Daichi's face paled again. Had one of the fire crabs gone beserk and attacked a student?! Finding Peeves near a student who seemed to be more sleeping than dead, he glared at the poltergheist...as far as he could glare of course.
He was already terrified because of the FIRE crabs who shoots fire , and now Peeves even joked about a DEAD kid in class?! It took alot to anger this Slytherin but being scared + unespected things meant ...he was slowly losing it. "PEEEEEEEEVES! STOP THAT! IT'S N-N-NOT FUNNY!!!" he shrieked with a stutter as his arms flailed up and down.

With a small handful of worms now in her hand instead of her hair, Penelope looked around for something to do with them. Had Peeves dropped the jar - he certainly seemed preoccupied with burying some kid alive - or was there another one they could put the worms in? Or should they set them free?
As she thought about this, she heard someone ask if anyone needed a partner. She looked around and quickly spotted the Ravenclaw who'd said it. "I do," she said, raising the hand that was worm-free and waving it to get the girl's attention.

But this boy looking at her did make her squirm. She forced herself to stay still, but there was nothing she could do about the full body blush she had going on.
Oh great now he thought she was stupid. That was terrific. Great first impression Harlow. She wanted to kick herself, but she wasn't tall enough. Oh right fire crabs. She turned and looked at the one she had selected. "Maybe we need to feed it or something." she offered. It was lame, but it was all her brain could spit out right now.
Well...well...well...
Now it did not look like this girl was feeling all comfortable. She did not look annoyed either so maybe, yeah, maybe she was really a shy one as he thought first. This was a nice change after all the moody girls. Shy ones were not so bad at all. He smiled at the girl and it was a smile this time not to one of those smirks that he shot at almost every girl.
From now on he was going to be more picky about girls anyway. It seemed that was a must in Hogwarts, so he would be shot by a fire crab. About the real fire crabs, the creature ones not the girls Richard looked at his a bit. He did not understand why anyone would keep one of those as a pet but he could tell why they would stal the jewels.
''Maybe...'' he said now looking at her fire crab. ''But would not you prefer to feed me instead?''
*smiiirk*
Yes, he was smirking this time.

"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.
Elliot was still jumping about...she didn't feel like they were coming out! She could DEFINITELY feel them crawling around, too, which made her want to be sick!!!
And that Slytherin Prefect, Sierra, whom Elliot had totally GLARED at in DADA...telling her to stand still?! Elliot wanted to yell! "It's hard wheeeeen they're all creepy and crawly!" she shrieked, completely losing her cool. Yep. Elliot losing her cool...how unexpected. But then she was helping Elliot...and soon, the girl said that all of the worms were out...MERLIN!
Elliot could have HUGGED her. But she didn't..she merely looked at Sierra with...admiration? HUUUUH?! "You...you saved my life. I owe you..." a bit dramatic, sure, but Elliot's hair was IMPORTANT. It was just too pretty to NOT be.
Come on, blonde? Long? Preeeetty? She practically DID save Elliot's life...

Hannah whipped around and eyed the claw that was mocking her. "Yes, lovely!" Was there an issue? It wasn't as if Hannah wanted to marry Dylan or anything. He was a Slytherin and the Quidditch captain so he was automatically pretty awesome in her book. Although he was handsome, athletic and that body...Merlin! What was wrong with Hannah? This was so unlike her. She needed to focus! She looked away before she could blush.
Hannah merely shook her head when Elliot tried to tell her that Lottie was not a normal puff. She was a puff right? Whatevs! She put it out of her mind for now. She kept thinking about her thoughts from earlier. Before that OLD ravenclaw mocked her about Dylan she would have never thought twice about him, but now... She needed to get a grip.
The professor was moving on though so she just focused on the activity. She would sort everything else out later. "You couldn't get a better partner if you tried." Not to toot her horn or anything, but TOOT!! TOOT!!
Hannah waited while Elliot went to get them a crab cage. How nice of Elliot to go fetch them. "Shall I go get the......" but she never finished her sentence because Peeves happened.
Worms...everywhere. O____O
Hannah did not do dirty, wet or creepy crawly things. She didn't know how she managed to not get any on her, but it didn't seem like Elliot was so lucky. She heard her before she saw her. EEEEP! What did she want her to do? She wasn't going to touch them...no sir!!!
"Ahhh...hellllp" so she decided to scream with her. Then she saw her prefect come over and save the day. Thank merlin...she couldn't have done it. "Well this has been fun."
Elliot then rounded on Hannah..."Thanks a LOT Hannah..." she said with a raised eyebrow. Where had her firecrab gone?! Hmm? She rolled her eyes..."Glad to know I can count on you in times of need, hmm?" She said, but then smirked...
Elliot wouldn't have helped either. Worms were gross.

Louisa was grateful for the distraction, and she listened intently - more intent than she ever did in this class. Once the professor announced their next step, Louisa jumped up to her feet and rounded on her two fellow 'claws. "Okay. So we can work in a group. 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.
Spike was clearly distracted, and had completely zoned out of the first part of the lesson, other thoughts swimming in his mind. Even the uncovering of the cages of firecrabs raised barely a curl of the Prefect's lips. He'd usually be bouncing in anticipation by now.
Usually.
As Louisa's words finally broke into his thoughts, Spike's eyes widened. She thought they should work together? To ease the tension?
Spike would love to ease the tension, he really would, but somehow he wasn't sure it'd be just as easy as working together. He sneaked a glance at Beezus, wondering if they could make it work...even if it was just to keep Louisa happy?
SPOILER!!: Beezus and Dylan

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."

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.
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?
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.
It was already too late however, and Spike's posture slumped further. She'd chosen him. Deliberately ignored the Head Girl's advice, and gone with the person she knew would hurt Spike the most. Any other person in that class would have be fine. It wouldn't have affected him. Spike would know deep down it would have been for the best.
And yet she chose him.
Spike couldn't help but stare after them, his jaw starting to clench and tears gathering in the corner of his eyes. He felt so cold...lonely...dejected...unwanted...
How exactly was he meant to just carry on with the lesson now? He sat there, stunned, until a certain poltergeist's appearance interfered with his melancholy mood.
It was raining worms? Even that couldn't shake much more of a reaction from the Prefect than a disinterested shrug of the shoulders a quiet "Heh". The boy who spent much of his childhood collecting critters and worms galore (and still did), just stood there, and gently plucked a few out of his curly hair. He plopped down next to a cage (he was claiming it for himself - surely no one would want to partner him), and stroked them gently.
"You're an idiot, Spike," he muttered to himself. "A complete and utter fool."
"I can go, but you might want to come with. I'm liable to choose the ones that look the most feisty just to see what a fire crab can really do when properly motivated," Vivi shrugged and hefted the handle on her bucket up over her shoulder like a fancy purse.
"Let's go choose two fire crabs together. Maybe one that looks wide awake and one that looks a bit dopey. For comparison purposes." Science!
"Sure, I will help pick out the fire crabs." He saw her pick up her buckets and thought it a lot extra work. "Why don't you summon the bucket and such when we pick out the crabs?" That was what Nigel was going to do.
Once he made it over to the cages. Nigel looked for the lazy ones. He did not want aggressive ones. Because that mean extra and hard work. "I think we should pick these two" Nigel said pointing and walking towards these two lazy crabs. It was perfect because they were right next to each other. Only more thing to do. Nigel summoned the bucket and things over to him. Now he was all set.

Yes, he was smirking this time.
Harlow felt like her head was going to explode her face turned so ready as his last question. Was he flirting with her? No that couldn't be right. Boys didn't flirt with her. They always thought she was a cute kid and would she be so kind to talk them up to her cousin Willow or Paris. Never mine both girls were serial daters and complete man eaters. But a real boy flirting with Harlow, yeah that was a neat trick.
She felt the ends of her hair curling from the heat from her burning face. She coughed and swallowed a few times. 'Say something,' her inner voice hissed. But the connection between her brain and her mouth was misfiring as the boy smirked at her.
Oh Merlin if he would only stop smirking at her she might be able to string together a proper sentence, "All I've got is a chocolate frog," Harlow winched as soon as the words left her mouth.
A chocolate frog! Did she forget she was 14 now and not still 11. Though she didn't look any bigger than the other first years she was in fact 14 and thus should be acting like a teenager and not a little kid running around with candy stuffed in her pocket. Now he was going to laugh and ruffle her hair and call her a 'cute little tyke,' while his eyes roamed for a proper girl to smirk at.

Minerva was looking around to see if she could find anyone else needing a partner when she noticed a boy looking around. With the worms still in her hand she headed towards the boy. "Hello, I'm Minerva. Would you like to be my partner for this activity?" She hoped he didn't mind her hand full of worms, she knew some boy might find that odd out of a girl, but she didn't care. "I need to see where the professor wants to to put these and I had gotten a bucket, but peeves stopped me from getting the rest." she smiled at him hoping he would want to be her partner.
Ethan had just reached the table with all the supplies and had placed a brush and washcloth into one of the buckets when a voice behind him made him turn around. "Sure," he said, noting that the voice belonged to a Puff girl looking for a partner. " Nice to meet you Minerva... I'm Ethan," he added in return to her own introduction. The fifth year gave the girl sort of an appraising look. He hoped that the Puff was good with magical creatures because he was a little worried about getting burned by the fire crabs, but he'd work with her either way. Just needed to know how careful to be. The boy's eyes then fell on Minerva's hand and he grinned. Good to know the girl wasn't squeamish.
"I'm glad you weren't bothered by the worms," Ethan said with a chuckle, thinking about all the flailing, screaming girls. "If you want, I'll take them," he offered. The boy had been a bit startled by the ghost and the sudden worm-shower that he hadn't thought of taking a few for himself instead of brushing them off. "I can use them in the garden," he explained. "They're really good for plants." Well, soil... but then they benefited the plants. Besides, he didn't see that jar the professor had them in anyway.
Ethan chuckled again when she mentioned Peeves. "A bit disruptive, isn't he?" Strange sort of ghost... he hadn't been used to that sort of thing at his old school.

"Oh my god so much drama in this class so far. You ready to handle the fire crabs with all this drama going on??"
"It is gross, isn't it?" Ella asked, holding out her handful of worms for Belle to see. "It's not the end of the world, though. I used to help my little brother gather worms for fishing...barbaric, I know." But she couldn't pass up spending time with the little guy, not when she spent so much time away from him. "Thanks for helping me, by the way...The only worms I really like are gummy ones." Grin. Oh...and that was definitely true. Peeves did enjoy causing lots and lots of trouble. "Yeah, and he enjoys burying students, apparently." Shudder. "I think...we can handle it. We've just gotta stay calm, yeah? Come on, let's go stand by a couple of cages or all of the good fire crabs will be taken." The third year said with an amused smile before leading the way to the cages. Oh...and perhaps her fire crab would want to eat all the worms she had gathered? Hm...

When Ella showed her the worms, Belle couldn't help but touch them. They were all slimy but it was cool. "Oh you are so welcome with helping you, i mean it is a hassle to handle worms. They are so squirmy and squishy." When Ella mentioned to go over to the cages, Belle jumped and said sheepishly, "Yeah we should go, i kind of wanted to get a good fire crab....well one that is not so aggressive." with putting one hand behind her hair. When Belle was by the cages, she commented, "I never seen a creature look so repulsive in my life."

Ugh, this one was sort of endearing. Vivi had to try really really hard not to ruffle the kid's hair and buy him candy or something. They'd just met, after all.
"I like carrying the bucket. Don't want to get lazy with my magic, you know?" She let Nigel lead the way over to the cages. It was a bit disappointing that he wanted to go with two fire crabs that may not even be awake for the duration of class, but Vivi crouched in front of the cages and gave them a look over anyway.

He went over to the table and grabbed the bucket, towel and brush and handed the girl the bucket. "I'm Tag." Tag said to the girl with a hand held out for her.
Kat smiled at the younger Gryffindor. Hey, not all Slytherins and Gryffindors hate each other, right? For a younger student, he looked so cute. But yeah. As the student introduced himself as Tag, Kat decided to introduce herself as well. "I'm Katrina," she said as she took the cleaning stuff from her little partner. "But you could call me Kat,"
"Let's go get..." Kat looked at the cage of fire crabs. "Those... crabs."

"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...
PEEVESSSSSSSSSSSS!
The great poltergeist had came. Great. Now what kind of MAYHEM willl he be bringing to us again?!
And then the worst had came...
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Peeves had started dropping the worms on their heads. AND KAT'S HEAD. The fourth year went slapping away the worms from her head. Ewwwwwwww WORMS. WHY OF ALL THINGS?! Then she wiped out another worms from her back. After wiping out all of the worms in her body, Kat stood their shivering. Merlin's beard.

As she thought about this, she heard someone ask if anyone needed a partner. She looked around and quickly spotted the Ravenclaw who'd said it. "I do," she said, raising the hand that was worm-free and waving it to get the girl's attention.
Oh goodie, someone else still needed a partner. Lily walked over to the little gryffindor girl and gave her a little grin. "I'm Lily... third year Ravenclaw." You know, because introductions were a good thing to start out with. "So did you want to get the supplies or pick out the fire crabs?" She asked, looking at the girl's hand that seemed to have something in it.
Hmmm... probably worms or something. Speaking of worms, what was Peeves doing right now? Or had the Bloody Baron scared him away by now?? Also, when was the professor going to explain what they were going to be doing???

Tag was about the shake Kat's hands when Peeves came swooping around throwing worms on all the students heads. The little second year went swerving backward and forward keeping an eye on the ceiling trying his best to avoid the worms.
But his partner Kat wasn't as lucky. They landed all over herself and her head. Tag had to tip toe and try to brush some of the worms off her head.He shivered when he touched the squishness of it. Ew. Gross. Even he didn't like live things that were squishy.
"Ughh, there. I think they're all off now." He said to her with a little shaky nod. An then he hastily shook her hand and slowly walked over to a fire crab. Just with this chaos already, he would not like class today. Tag's beautiful hair could not get singed. It was one of his most prized possession.

Introductions? Yeah, she supposed that was the right way to start, since they didn't know each other. "Penelope," she replied, "second year Gryffindor." So now that that was out of the way... "Well I've got my supplies right here," she continued, pointing down at the bucket, brush, and washcloth she'd set down at her feet when she'd started getting the worms out of her hair. "And this is my fire crab." She pointed to the cage she was standing next to. There was another pretty close to them, so she then pointed to it. "You want that one?" They were each supposed to have their own, right? As well as their own supplies? Or did they share those? Hmmm...

As Kat shook Tag's hand, she had to apologize to him. "I'm sorry if you had to brush those gross things away from me," Kat didn't like the thought either. Ew. Just ew. "But thanks for helping though." She had to be thankful that Tag was a helpful kid. Good boy, little second year.
"Why don't you pick a fire crab?" Kat said. But she knew Tag didn't seem to like those things so she offered. "If you want, I could get one for you... you don't seem very fond of them either." Believe me, Tag, I was never fond of those flame shooting crabs.

She then looked at her "Sure let's Go Cardigannn!" And she skipped over to the table and grabbed a firecrab cage adn put it right in Cardigan's arms.. It's rear end towards her obvoiously and gathered the rest of her supplies .
She then skipped back to their spot and on the way stopped to the kid who RUDELY got dirt adn a worm thrown at them "I Apologize again for Cardigan, She's just not herself today." GRIN

What?
They couldn't very well leave him there like that. He would scare all the little kiddies away with his dead self.
PEEVESSAYWHAT?!
Kurumi's attention, which had been entirely on Theo until JUST now, snapped around when she heard the poltergeist say something about a dead student. Was it a Hufflepuff? Her head snapped around so quick that she heard, and felt, it crack, but thankfully the boy was up and already partnering up with Vivi.
Wait...did she...just....
Kurumi blinked a few times in the Ravenclaw's direction. Had she just...put those worms...in her...pocket?
But then Daichi was screaming and Kurumi thought that a fire crab had somehow managed to already singe the poor Slytherin, only that didn't seem to be the case. It was just Peeves shouting about fire and stuff, right? "Daichi! You alright?"
Well, of course he was. He was with Juliet. Tehehehe.

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?
And then her attention was back on Theo...who looked madder than a wet kneazle at the moment.
"Okay...okay...I did...I'm sorry...I should have been more careful while I flailed," Kurumi said, ironically flailing her arms a bit. Did he want cookies? Kurumi could give him cookies. Cookies always made everything feel and seem better, right?
Although the whole pushing over matter was not really the issue...the fact that he was now crying about swallowing a worm. Kurumi scooted a little closer to him and wrapped one arm around the younger Slytherin and rubbed his back - like how her father used to do when she was sick.
Not that Theo was sick... "No, you won't get worms," she reassured him. That process involved infected animals feces, fleas, mosquitos and eating vermin. Theo hadn't done any of that...that she knew of.
o_________________O
Nope...not gonna ask either.
"Theo...um...the only way to...um...remove the worm is .....is....isifyouthrowitbackup."

"Sure," he said, noting that the voice belonged to a Puff girl looking for a partner. " Nice to meet you Minerva... I'm Ethan," he added in return to her own introduction. The fifth year gave the girl sort of an appraising look. He hoped that the Puff was good with magical creatures because he was a little worried about getting burned by the fire crabs, but he'd work with her either way. Just needed to know how careful to be. The boy's eyes then fell on Minerva's hand and he grinned. Good to know the girl wasn't squeamish.
"I'm glad you weren't bothered by the worms," Ethan said with a chuckle, thinking about all the flailing, screaming girls. "If you want, I'll take them," he offered. The boy had been a bit startled by the ghost and the sudden worm-shower that he hadn't thought of taking a few for himself instead of brushing them off. "I can use them in the garden," he explained. "They're really good for plants." Well, soil... but then they benefited the plants. Besides, he didn't see that jar the professor had them in anyway.
Ethan chuckled again when she mentioned Peeves. "A bit disruptive, isn't he?" Strange sort of ghost... he hadn't been used to that sort of thing at his old school.
Minerva smiled when he said that he would work with her. Good that awkward no partner thing was out of the way. She always liked to work with new people instead of just the same people she always worked with. "Nice to meet you Ethan." she then looked around to see if Peeves was still around or if the Professor had mentioned what to do with the worms.
Looking back at Ethan she blushed and smiled shyly. "Oh sure if you want to hold them." She thought for a moment, "Well if the professor doesn't mind and your not going to kill them then I'm okay with you having them, but lets make sure the professor wasn't keeping them for a special reason. She had them in jars I think that's what Peeves emptied every where, poor worms." Yes she was feeling bad for the worms, they were living creatures and did not deserve Peeves treatment. "They are good for gardens, and they love that type of soil." she mentioned liking that he seemed not to mind different creatures. "Have you been around Fire Crabs before?" it was an honest question being from the muggle world she never knew who knew what even after four years at Hogwarts.
Minerva then rolled her eyes, "I think that is an understatement when it comes to Peeves. He is always trying to get under someones nerves. I don't think any Professor can scare him off either, which makes it worse." she looked back at Peeves wondering if what she said to him earlier would help or not, but knowing Peeves probably not.
