Yeah.."Sure sounds like it," Wade nodded as Alec had sat near him, something was definitely among them. Hmm.. But could it be? Before he could furrow his brows on this though, they were all made to move towards the barn with Professor Barlow. He took his bag with him as he went with everyone towards the enclosure seeing Mr. Firth.

Hmm.. what now, then?

Moving?

Alice gathered up her things and tagged along with the group of students, trying to peek over heads to see and failing miserably. No height advantage here. The only possible thing she could assume was that a creature was giving birth. Was that what it was? She tried weaving to the front of the crowd, eager for a good look at whatever it was.

.. the groundskeeper?

She didn't really need a good look at him, thanks.

Cassia sat motionless when the patronous came. What was that? She listened to what other students were saying but obviously none had an idea of what really was going on. Her only thought that it wasn't something good. Her thought were emphasized when Barlow showed up and looked uneasy. Or did Cassia's eyes trick her to see that. And they were moving. Oookay.

The fourth year stood and started walking her bag in her hand swinging it back and forth. Might as well entertain herself while moving. Was that the groundskeeper? Obviously. What was he doing. And were they going to join him. One way to find out.

So she kept walking with the others.

There the Professor was. The red head watched slowly, doing absolutely nothing till she was instructed to get up. Hmmm. Interesting. Was a some creature shedding or having a baby or something? Or maybe it was a unicorn, or some creature appearing form the woods. Heh. Either way Renesmee got up from her seat.

Waddling along with the rest of the class, the eighteen year old made her way towards the small enclosure in the side of the barn. She could see a figure standing but she wasn't quite sure who it was, till she got closer as well as heard the voice of the figure.

Mr. Firth. Definitely him that had send the patronus then. So this was what had started, she assumed? But what was it exactly?

Daichi raised an eyebrow of curiousity when the Professor told them to follow. Where they going to see what that Patronus had meant? Well, what the Groundskeeper had meant. He stood up and followed the other students as they walked to the side of the barn.

Reaching the place, Daichi saw the Groundskeeper talking to someone or something in the shadows and he cocked his head to the side to try and see what it was. Stupid shadows was rising his curiousity even higher!

Ooo... Sarah liked it when people showed how adaptable they were. She was going to be adaptable too now and move as well, even though she had thought she would spend the lesson there. She got up and walked rather briskly over to the enclosure. Mr. Firth was there
Which kids? Were those goats? Or maybe they were the students. Sarah knew she woud behave herself... or at least she would try. She tried to make up what the groundskeeper was on about. Maybe something was hatching or something

Laura looked at the Professor was they actually doing a lesson that the Professor didn't know about, well this would be an awesome lesson then, she couldn't wait to find out what they were doing, she stood listening and then followed everyone else.

Peyton peered out from behind Firth's shoulder and glanced down at what he'd been attending to. Her eyes grew slightly larger once again as she realized she may not have time to build a huge lesson around this.

Turning back around, she saw that the students had followed suit and ended up in the little enclosure, as well. "Alright, quieten down and push toward the back. We can't have a huge crowd up here just yet," she said. There was a hint of nervous excitement in her voice. She just couldn't help it.

"So as I said before, a slightly unexpected event has decided to take place this afternoon, so instead of our regularly scheduled class, we're going to get a bit practical here instead of simply studying something," she said. "Now, because our main attraction is getting ready and isn't quite prepared for a big unveiling at the moment, let's start off with this--What are some ways in which magical and non-magical creatures are the same?"

JAKE [s]and the neverland pirates[/s] THE GRYFFIE PREFECT HEY. HEY.
 

Asher raised his hand "They both need our care to help keep them safe from those who wish to do them harm." He wondered if this was enough of a response and decided to add, "And they like ice cream?" Well, he figured the second part might not be true, but his grandmothers dog did love ice cream and so did his cousins crup.

Ella was on her tippy toes, trying to see what Mr. Firth was up to. The badger was extremely curious and she couldn't help but to hope that baby creatures were involved. N'awwww babies! She also wished ice cream was involved cause she was craving a nice large sundae right about now. Actually, she was craving ice cream all the time lately. Just the thought of the stuff made her bounce.

When asked, the sixteen year old took a few steps back and listened carefully to Professor Barlow. What were some things that magical and non-magical creatures had in common? Um...she was sure there were lots of things. "Both magical and non-magical creatures can reproduce."

Eh, he did not know.

"Both can be furry." See, he didn't see they were all furry, but they COULD be. Theo hated furry pets. It did not seem natural.

It seems we've attracted an ickle Gryffindor
 

"NICE ONE," Zahra congratulated her RIDE. She tried to give him a high five, but... you know. HIS hands were busy, so she gave herself a high five in front of his face FOR HIM. THen she whispered (sort of...) in his ear, "GO GO GRYFFINDOR!"

And because it was just all SO EXCITING and because being Gryffy Prefect BASICALLY meant Jake was her Big-Brother-Away-From-Home, she gave his neck the BIGGEST SQUEEZIEST HUG. They were going to kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill this lesson! Merlin. EXCITEMENT.

Nigel just smirked at the the piggy back ride the Gryffindor Prefect was giving the first year. That was pretty smart of her.

"Both can be impossible to train or domesticate"

Trying to tame a Lethifold or nundu is not the smartest idea ever.

Wade himself couldn't help but chuckle at the sight from the Gyrffindors nearby him. Heh. It was cute. Hmm.. now what did the creatures have in common. "They have feelings and memories, so it's always best to treat them well."

Okay, okay.....quiet, quiet....said Professor Barlow. Beezus SSSSHHHHH'd loudly at her peers to help out.

As the noise subsided, she listened intently. Getting edgily excited upon hearing the word 'practical' that she repeatedly had to adjust her reading glasses up on the bridge of her nose. They weren't divulging into theory like the usual but they were dealing with whatever this was here and now. Meeep. Meep. It's getting ready, she said. The brunette's dark brown eyes sparkled more as she raised her hand. "Professor, both magical and non-magical creatures respire. This means they take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide." Even those underwater.....but everyone knew that already, eh?

Mo climbed onto the fence and leaned out into the enclosure to try to get a better look at what was happening there. Not... totally obvious yet, but he was highly interested. Interested enough not to be hung up on the fact that they were this far into the year and hadn't seen anything really dangerous yet.

That was sad, it was.

"Professor, they have normal life cycles." Mostly. But they were born and grew and lived and had babies and died. Ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiircle of life. Stuff.

"You need help, Mr. Firth? I'm real good with animals."

While she waited on someone to tell her exactly what they'd be doing this lesson she listened to Michael go on about his adventures. Merlin, he did seem busy enough! This was one of those proud moments where she thought he was doing Gryffindor proud unlike those others that cried after getting sorted then stayed locked up in the Common Room. Pffft.

This time, she was whispering abit, no need to alert the Professor. "Sounds epic, that's tree's one of my best friends, we have our own game going, you should play with us sometime." And for the garden gnomes, there was a pause. Back in her First Year she'd helped de-gnome the garden so of course he would have a hard time finding any. "We got rid of 'em but I think if you look hard enough you might spot one?" Was that how they worked?

Ahem, but eyes on the Professor who was asking questions.



What did they have in common? She could name a few things but there was one that people seemed to keep stressing so she would state that one.

Lex raised her hand and waited her turn to speak then, "Both magical and non-magical creatures can be put into categories based on how dangerous they are or how dangerous they're perceived to be and I'm not permitted to carry any of the more dangerous ones, whether magical or non-magical, up to my dorm."

There were two similarities! She couldn't keep them and they could be dangerous. Gosh, she was so giving with her answers today, wasn't she?

Also, what was the Professor and Mr. Firth looking at? She wanted to seeeeeee, not stand her answering questions.
