Mention of Cris and Jasmine Penelope found the place where they were having the creatures playmates meeting. "Hello Professor," she greeted the professor on her way to an open blanket. Sitting down on a blanket, she found that unlike everything else around here, the blanket was warm. It was really nice to actually feel warm for a change, with all of the cold weather. Quote:

Emmy and Zander Merlin! What was that? Cinnamon jumped at the commotion. The bright light. The shadow of someone running. Just moments before she was walking over to say hello to Emmy. She was now running to her to and clung to her. She didn't care if she was there standing with someone else. Cinna normally get this scared about things but after that dada class with the zombies. This tough girl turned into somewhat of a wuss. |
+ Also Cinnamon! SPOILER!!: EmmyLou Zander felt himself calm down a little as Emmylou came to sit closer to him. Yeah. Strength in numbers. Totally a thing. He took one end of the blanket and wrapped it around the third year. At the sound of her voice, he broke out into a smile. Jellybeans?! This girl was prepared for it all! "Oh, I'd love some, thanks," he whispered back. Sure, it was a little nerve wracking to be sitting in such close proximity to a girl, but focusing on strength in numbers. Yeah. "I-I wonder what that was out there," his voice faltered a little bit before he caught himself and tried to sound a little more confident. Eh, give him a break he's only 14. It's okay to be a little scared. Even for a Gryffindor. Then he noticed someone come and grab Emmylou! AH another girl!? Hogwarts was full of them! Okay, strength in numbers. Yeah. Totally. He turned to the new girl, and smiled. "Want to share the blanket with us?" |

Emmylou smiled at Zander the best that she could. The once very happy Gryffindor candy girl was now scared out of her mind about all of this. Maybe zombies or the boogy man man was out there on the ground she didn't know. Emmylou went in her pocket and grabbed a little mini jellybean bag and hanged it to Zander. "Here you go. I've got plenty more where that came from." There was no way that this little thirteen year old was going to go some place without candy. "I wonder if it's one of those ice zombie things that we learned about in dark arts?" |
To lazy to quote you guys Now whatever was going really really seem to scare just about everyone. Including some of the older students. But cinnamon was a Gryffindor she wasn't supposed to be scared of nothing. Right? She continued to cling to Emmy. "Oh Emmy I'm sorry" Clings tighter. Cinna glanced up over her clinging to Emmy at the boy who was with Emmy holding a blanket. He offered room under the blanket. "Sure! Thank you. I'm Emmys friend cinnamon." She let go of Emmy and squeezed between them under the blanket. |
SPOILER!!: You know who you are youuu twooo Zander smiled as Emmylou handed him the mini bag. Mhm. Hopefully jellybeans would make this weird light flashing monster go away. Or at least it would hopefully set him to ease. "Thanks, you're always prepared," he chuckled. So he owed her for candy twice now? Yup. Then at the mention of the cold ones from DADA, Zander felt himself immediately tense up. If that's what was outside moments ago, then nope. Nooooooope. Zander's done. Yep. Time to quit. There's no way this Gryffindor could fight of zombie things. Nooope. "I... I hope not... I hope it's just a confused firstie or something..." Then he turned to the newcomer, he was a little shocked by how quick she was to make herself welcome in their blanket enchilada, but he did offer so it was cool. Cinnamon? That was a... Unique name. He couldn't really say anything though because his was kinda strange tooo so anyways, "Hi Cinnamon, I'm, uh, Zander." Normally he wouldn't be caught sitting this closely to a girl. Let alone, TWO WHOLE GIRLS. But he just had to keep reminding himself about strength in numbers. Those were more important than catching cooties and stuff anyways. |
Practical portions are always the best in class. So between this meeting and the other one nearby, Ethan Mordaunt decided to join this lot. He can read their CoMC book anytime he wants, but getting advice on how to be a hands-on caretaker for a magical creature, was something he will not get every day. He’d have to pay someone for that, yeah? So this…this was a good deal. With a grin on his face, he greeted the professor. “Hello, sir.” And plopped down next to Cousin Cutty and Half-Frenchie Grayson. He also saw Zander, and gave him a salute. Okay. Uhm…did he miss anything? Confused boy, right there as he looked around him. |
There wasn't even a question on which club Lex would be attending. The Gryffindor didn't read unless she had to. Going to a reading club.....was just a 'no', a big one at that so after a small wave to Mr. Kitridge--kinda awkward walking by him like that, you know--she continued on to the other one with creature stuff. She didn't know what they'd be doing here but her chances were pretty good in the not picking up a book department. "Hello Professor." As the Gryffindor took a seat, nodding at the people she knew and liked, she noticed a flash from the window. What the kneazle? It almost looked like someone just now...running toward the castle. Well it would serve them right. What were they doing outside in the first place? Did this cold mean nothing to them? Lex glanced around at the others, not feeling it could have been that urgent. "Could just be someone coming to their senses about the weather outside." She suggested, getting more comfortable in her seat. It made sense, besides, no one had ever actually broken in before right? They were usually here long before...usually let in by the Headmistress actually. Had to be someone they knew. |
After spending time talking :blink: Weird stuff was obviously happening at Hogwarts this year. |
Cris Cris managed to make Jasmine smile. He had the ability to make her feel better no what matter the situation. She really was glad that he was here. Suddenly, the room was illuminated with flashing lights. Jasmine turned to Cris with a "What in the world was that?" look on her face. She along with many of the other students looked out of the window and saw that sparks, presumably from someone's wand, had caused the room to light up. Jasmine noticed that Penelope had moved closer to them and wanted to know what was going on. She seemed frightened so Jasmine tried to present a calm front. "I don't know what happened, but I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation. Don't worry, everything will be OK." Now if Jasmine could only get herself to believe that. |
Book club, Creatures meeting. Leah was torn. It was not that she loved reading, but she liked Mr. Librarian. He was always nice to her. However, as the urge to help creatures on the loose (as the notice had said), she had chosen to come to the playmates meeting. Feeling guilty as she passed by the other meeting place, Leah walked in through the entrance and noticed the commotion going on. "Hello professor.. What's going on?" she said, heading towards a warm blanket. |
Jasmine and Penelope SPOILER!!: Jasmine Cris returned to join Jasmine and...where did Penelope come from? He smiled reassuringly at both of them. "Yes, Jasmine is right. I'm sure that it's nothing. And if there was, I'm sure the staff are dealing with it right now," Cris nodded even as he looked over at the entrance of the library and then around him. Yes, he was looking for possible quick exits if there was a need for them to get out of the library quickly. |

Text Cut: Slytherins They'd gathered around him. His snakes. His people. Dormmates...who knew where he slept and kept his things as he did them. Cutty saw them all that much more clearly as the Library was awash in brightness for a brief moment. His attention drew over to the window and he left his spot, though not without his blanket to inspect it. Someone was outside. A slight, shrouded someone. He wasn't going to tell the Professor a word. Not yet. Not until he found out just exactly what this was worth. But maybe Thompson had caught a glimpse of the figure himself. He looked discreetly as he could to his Creature Teacher for confirmation. |

Then she saw her classmates who remained quiet and she tried to keep calm.. |
Hogwarts was a very cool school, Cassia thought as she made her way to the library. Because she doubted that any student in any school could say 'I have a creature's club in the library'. The unique things you got to do and see here were countless. As much as she wanted to drop by and greet Mr.Kitridge she willed herself to head the other direction. She'd do that later instead of interrupting him now. And she didn't want to be late for the meeting she was heading to, either. It seemed that many had arrived already. Cassia offered a smile as she settled in and would have probably greeted the lot hadn't something else caught her attention. Was that a shadow? The snake squinted at the window. Talk about creepy. |
It didn't take long for things to happen. Brilliant. Just brilliant. And it was only freaking SPARKS or whatever? Sparks or some sort of light. He wanted to think sparks. He also wanted to think that there was some serious fight going on down there, which would mean that they were currently missing it! OR that they could have a good view of whatever was going to happen. As long as whatever it was outside didn't come inside to terrorise them all. No thank you. Keep it outside, mkay? He hardly even took note of the fact that Sophie was now sitting with him and Cutty. His blue eyes landed on her when she spoke and he silently wondered if she was scared. Grayson almost wanted to ask but figured that she probably wouldn't want to say anyways. Would probably deny it, if he knew her well enough. Soooo, she got a smile. And then came someone he knew and someone he only knew by face. "Sup, Cloud Master." Ethan. HEY. And new person who was introducing himself and was getting a smile from this fourth year for it. "Sup, Simon. It's nice to meet you. The name's Grayson." Keep it in mind, mkay? And wasn't it funny how the Slytherin third years + Grayson had huddled up together? Funny. Then his eyes found the Professor. Had he seen what had happened? And if so, what were they going to do about it? |
Text Cut: Lion & Snake Prefects Others had seen it too, including Cambridge and his prefect. But what did they actually see? He leaned over to the girls and with a slight chuckle postulated the following, "It's Mr. Kitridge staging a re-enactment of Wuthering Heights to try and and get us to join the book club." Possibly he held auditions as well and Cutty would've felt a bit put out for not having been invited into the prank if he believed his own comment. "Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home I'm so cold, let me into your window." He sang a bit to the girls joshingly. Quote:
-______- No, you're not, Cutty Mordaunt! You aren't even thinking of this instance in threatening terms!! |
The 'hellos' to Professor Thompson were returned just as politely along with the curt nods, and thanking those mentioned on the choice of the location. Hmm, why not explain why they had such a location and timing, "Alright, welcome everyone to this year's Playmates meeting. Seeing as the bitter cold outside prevented us from holding one in the barnyard, Mr. Kitridge was kind enough to allow us to reside here." But enough on that, now it was time for the business, "As quite a few of you may have witnessed in Hogsmeade, we had some visitors.. Unicorns, to be exact as they ventured outside their natural habitat. While the reasons for them doing so are needed to note, it's more important to know how keep them under control before it gets even more out of hand." Therefore, "That brings up one of the topics for today, on how to handle when you see creatures escape and go out of control. How can you take care of the situation when no one else is around to help?" Waiting on the responses before something outside their expectations happened. Quote:

SPOILER!!: Professor Thompson Questions? Right now? Cris raised his hand just to get that part over with. "Professor I guess the first thing to do would be to try to calm the creatures before attempting to corral them back. That has to be done without causing any harm to yourself, others and the creatures themselves. I mean, everyone knows that a frightened creature is potentially a dangerous one. Even a unicorn can be dangerous when it's spooked. If that doesn't work, I guess the smartest thing to do would be to get out of their way especially if they start to stampede and then maybe try to follow them. They eventually have to stop running." Cris shared his opinion with everyone. Where did the shadow head off too? Cris definitely knew where. Or at least he thought he did. So he raised his hand again. "Professor, last I saw, it looked like the shadow was headed inside here," Cris quickly informed the Professor. Where the owner of the shadow was now, was anyone's guess. |
Her squinting didn't last long because it was obviously unfruitful seeing that the shadow didn't make another appearance. So it just looked absurd now. Oh, Cutty and the other snakes. It looked really cool how they sat near each other. Needless, to say that Cutty's words got her lips to twitch in a very amused smile. His talents seemed liked an endless ocean. She wasn't quite certain what it was the he quoted, but she didn't need to be sure that he nailed it. Also, Ethan and Grayson got nods. Her snake boys. Text Cut: Professor Javy! Her attention next was on the professor. She folded her hands in her lap and listened carefully her head tilted. She had heard of the creatures appearing at Hogsmeade and she bummed that she didn't get to see any. Just the one time she didn't go to Hogsmeade. How unfortunate, she thought. Not that those creatures being there was a normal thing. Which only made it more unfortunate that she missed it. "I guess it would help a lot if we knew that creature's characteristics and behavior so that we would know how to deal with it without harming ourselves or the creature," She said. A general answer but she couldn't think of anything more specific without given facts like what creature it'd be. "And generally we probably shouldn't alarm the creature or get too close in case the creature was already alarmed because it might attack the first creature it sees," Again all depended on the creature and the circumstances. But then again he said 'out of control' so that sounded dangerous and it differed from creature to another. And unfortunately she wasn't sure where the shadow headed to or looked like it was. So she kept quiet on that. Better to remain silent than to give uncertain information. |
Zander fumbled with the blanket that was currently enchilada-ing him and the two other Gryffindor girls. Now that the lightening stuff was gone, he had realized just how close he had gotten to them. O______________O He was wrapped in a blanket with girls. TWO GIRLS. TWO, WHOLE GIRLS! This could not be more nerve wracking. Zander had a tough enough time talking to one girl at a time. BUT TWO! And being squished next to them!? Not to mention the fact that they were all freaking TERRIFIED of whatever happened down there near the forrest. ..... How could he possibly keep his mind on the meeting!? Thankfully, Professor Thompson spoke up at last! HALLELUJAH! Zander tried to listen carefully to the question. He needed anything and everything that could get his mind off of the fact that he was sitting next to TWO GIRLS. AHHHHH! "Well you have to be really quiet," he said sheepishly as he looked over at the Gryffindor Prefect, Lex. When he saw the unicorn at Hogsmeade he didn't really do a good job at that... Oops? And then the unicorn ran away in complete terror! So yeah, being quiet is good. "And you should be calm because you don't want to scare it." Another thing he didn't do well at... Oops. But forget the escaping creatures! Bigger problems LIKE SITTING NEXT TO TWO GIRLS. |
Arista blinked what was that...She tried staying calm but really a shadow had just appeared along with several sparks. She waited for the Professor to do something because that was obviously his job right go get killed first? Oh look he was speaking...She had heard of the creatures appearing at Hogsmeade and she was super bummed that she had to stay in because of homework. "Could we put our hands out and let them sniff like so they can get used to our scent?" That worked on her grandfather's horse. Okay shadow now!! Yes she knew where it was going!!! "IT came in here Professor!!" she said her half shrieking. |
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait just a second. That THING, whatever it was, came from the outside in...HERE? At the exact same time a burst of wand light went off? Sophie was no longer edging toward Grayson and Cutty. She was now sitting directly beside them, pretending that she wasn't freaking out like she really was. Where was her brother?! "All the animals are moving out the forest, because it's so cold," Sophie said aloud. "You don't think something like...maybe, say...an Acromantula has decided to move into the castle, do you?" Because if it DID, it was sleeping with the Gryffindors. |

SPOILER!!: Professor Ah so he was making reference to the Hogsmeade incident. Odd day that had been. Disappointing too considering she never got to snag herself a unicorn. It wasn't even that big either, it wouldn't have been too much work sneaking it into the castle, all she needed was the right plan and it staying still long enough. A glance over told her that one of her little lions had remembered his lesson well. Fast learner, she could appreciate that. It told her there was hope for him yet and he got a grin. But in all seriousness. Handling a creature. "I think you're in luck if there's no one to help because chances are there's no one to see either. You'll have to use proper stunning spells. Ones that'll leave it immobile while you transport it--nothing like what that guy used on his nundu and got himself eaten, no. After it's down for the count you'll wanna disillusion it so there aren't as many questions and have it levitated to the Gryffindor Sixth Year girls dorm, yeah?--but of course this depends on the creature, some can stay down in the Common Room--you'll also have to plan for it freaking when you remove the spell so you'll wanna sedate it with something from the Hospital Wing. I don't reckon the Healer will mind unless she knows you took it." And a perfectly solemn no. That was how you did it. As to whatever it was outside the window just now. "It was headed for the castle Professor." Not it. No. A person. One of them. |
