Tickling Charm? Hm, yeah, that probably would be useful. She wasn't too sure if it would make a creature want to trust you, though she would only let someone tickle her if she trusted and liked them - and even then, only Ascanius really did. Anyone else would get punched if they tried tickling her, charm or not. But maybe creatures didn't mind tickling as much? So maybe the Tickling Charm would be good. And now something was being passed around. Penelope accepted the box from someone and pulled out one of the little hippogriffs before passing the box along to someone else. Aw. The little hippogriff was cute. Kinda reminded her of the one Atticus had too. |
Simon pulled out his notebook as Professor Thompson replied to their answers. Who thought that he would have needed to take notes in the club? He didn't think he would need too, but he was adamant that he would probably forget half the things that happened during the meeting if he didn't write it down. SPOILER!!: Controlling a Creature Then the Professor had passed around a box. Simon squinted his eyes trying to see what it was. His blue eyes widened when he recognized that it was a little toy. It was of a magical creature, but what was that one? When someone passed him the box, he picked one up and then passed the box onto the next person. He examined the very small hippogriff. It was an adorable representation of the creature. Were they going to practice the charms on the toy to make sure it stayed in control? |
Zander could feel Emmylou shivering and it made him kind of sad. Was she shivering because she was cold? Or was it out of fear of the earlier incident? Either way, Zander was trying to keep his cool. Mostly because he was next to two girls. The enchilada wasn't helping. Zander reached over for another blanket and wrapped it around Emmylou. "Any better?" he asked her with a slight hint of concern in his face. He didn't want his new friend to be shivering, awh. Then as the box of toys reached him he grabbed one. WOAH! Bet they weren't getting any of these in book club! Yeah, he made the right choice. Heh. Would they get to keep them? Pleeeeeeeaaaaaasssseeeeee! But what did the toys have to do with controlling creatures exactly? |
When the box was passed to her, Sophie peeked in before reaching in. Call her a true Slytherin, but she just didn't trust something just because everybody else had pulled out a tiny Hippogriff. Looking inside, she spotted many more tiny Hippogriffs. Hmm...mmkay. She reached in and pulled one out and sort of looked it over before passing the box. After she had hers in hand, she glanced up at the list of spells the professor had made. It was kind of hard to concentrate when Merlin knew what was going on outside. Sophie was still kind of convinced those things from Defense class were about to attack. |
Caterina found that she was having a bit of a hard time focusing and had thought about maybe she should have worn her glasses because her eyes were very tired. Maybe she just needed to take a nap later, or go to bed early. Or maybe she could get Mo to kiss both of her eyes, surely that would make them feel good as new, right? She grinned then, considering healing methods and things she'd heard Aunt Lily talk about and thoroughly distracted herself until she was handed a box. And look how CUTE! Eagerly, she placed the tiny thing in the palm of her hand and passed the box on again to whoever was nearest her, she didn't take much notice because she was once more distracted, this time, by the little thing. Was it a boy or a girl? Could she name it? It was cute! |
Looking through the window, Lex began thinking she'd made all the wrong life choices. Cassia was out possibly having a death defying adventure and she was sitting here being passed a plushy hippogriff? No Professor, we're sorely disappointed. At the very least it should have been animated and havoc causing. If these were souvenirs then she'd have preferred hers made of chocolate thanks. And while they were talking about chocolate, maybe some actual chocolate frogs too. Lex took one and plopped it in her lap, not sure what else she was meant to do with it. She supposed she could animate it but no one else was. Nothing wrong with being a trend setter, it was just the thought that she had the wrong idea here so she sat and stared at the Professor with a look that said 'I'd rather be battling Cold Ones outside than sitting with a teddy, DO something Sir'. Now to hope he read looks from Gryffindor well...and that they don't break out the silver wear and decide on a PINK tea party. Make no mistake. She'd walk out if that happen. Definitely. But waiting now. |
Oh, the tickling charm? That was one of Leah's least favorite spells. Ever. She hated being tickled. Why would anyone do that, really, it destroyed her beautiful self. Then the professor started handing out.. toy Hippogriffs? The Hufflepuff took one in her hand and squeezed. She could not help but look out the window for another second before passing the box down. "Here you go," Leah said to anyone who was next to her. |
Text Cut: Previously, on Caring for Creatures Playmates Meeting...! Carrying on as if nothing had happened was probably a choice of fear-quashing on behalf of the adult in the Library, but Cutty wasn't bothered by it. As he wasn't particularly caring for the incidents outside of the castle at the moment. Besides if he needed information there was always Cassia in the common room. "Thanks, Leah." As the box of wee hippogriffs made it's way around, Cutty reached in and pulled on out. Afterward he passed the box on to the next student. He held the tiny hippogriff in such a manner as to cause it to make it's little sound before righting it again. Then repeated the motion until he grew quite tired of it. |
Text Cut: Professor Beverly tried her hardest to pay attention to Professor Javy. She did and she was, but the looming thought of something out (and inside) there still bothered her. It was quite normal having read all of Hogwarts, A History a bazillion times. What if that one guy Lord Voldemortist came back? Or pirate ghosts made it back somehow? Or what if people were being control to attack others? OR. What if it was Cold Ones and Skygge out there and they were going to be attack at ANY MOMENT AND...stop. Beverly paused her train of thought. Nope. She wasn't going to over think this. No. The weather was due to global warming, and a stupid someone had probably gotten themselves stuck outside and--What about the sparks? Thank Merlin, her thoughts were scattered when someone passed her a box. What? What was this? Looking inside she found a bunch of small hippogriffs. Asldfkjd! She wanted one. Reaching inside she curled her fingers around one and passed the box. Distraction at its best. "Thanks, Professor." She could keep it, right? |
Benjamin had opted to stay inside while others ventured out to make out what was happening there. See...not all Gryffindors rushed out into possible danger and the third was fine with that. After the last two DADA classes, all sorts of thoughts were passing into what it could be and he hoped it wasn't any he could think of. Trying not to dwell on it, the lion boy focused instead on what was being discussed, the ways to care for a creature including spells and overall behavior. Benny scribbled down a few notes on a scrap piece of paper as he listened before finally switching his attention to the box being passed around. A toy Hippogriff? He couldn't help but think of his bestie as he took one for himself out of the box. The Hufflepuff obviously missing the meeting as he hadn't arrived by now. A small squawk brought his focus back to the item in his hand and Benny straightened the creature which made it stop as it settled into his grasp. |
Whilst the students were one by one passing along the box, Javy the Creature Professor took a moment to glance out the window again. He could barely make out the figures running out of the forest, thanks to sky gradually turning into the night time darkness. He would have to find out the circumstances that came about in the forest later as his eyes returned to the students who now had the toy in their hands. "Right.. I believe that will do for today, hopefully you'll all be wary on the chance of anymore loose creatures running around." And if so, well, now they'll have a relatively good chance on handling the situation. "You're free to keep the little dolls to care for them like your own." ..Or not, it was their choice after all. "Now head off straight to your dorms, last thing you need to be wary of is another Professor roaming around." They were more happy to remove points at this time of the night, after all. |
Wait, what? They're done? Ethan stared at Professor Javy THE Creatures Professor, then slowly to the board, then to the toy he was holding. They were being dismissed? Well, the boy was hoping that they will be discussing more stuff. Like the Unicorns he saw back at Hogsmeade, or the Centaurs that Simon saw back at the pathways. Well, at least they got...a toy. A squeaky toy that is. Ethan gave Simon, Cutty, Grayson, and Zander a look, gathered his things and stood up. "Professor? Can we also...keep the blankets for now? It's really cold in the hallways." he asked as he wrapped the thick, warm, sheet tighter around him. They have to make semi-long trips to their respective dormitories, just so he knows. |
"You're welcome." Leah said to the Slytherin boy next to her, observing the toy. She looked up in surprise at the professor when he said that they were dismissed. She expected more discussions coming but was okay with going back to her warm dormitory as soon as possible. She could hug her new toy while she slept or something. The Hufflepuff was concerned for the people outside, though. She hoped they were safe. Another Slytherin boy spoke up and Leah was really grateful at that. "I agree, Professor." The second year stood up, holding her bag in one hand and the blanket in another. She hoped she could find another Badger to walk back together. It was cold AND creepy nowadays. |
When the box was in front of Lucy she took a piece of toy.. Lucy was very surprised to see...a toy Hyppogriff!!! She smiled at the miniature toy and she passed the box to the next classmate.. |
O_________O That was it....? B-b-but they hadn't even done anything yet!? Although he was still wrapped in the blanket enchilada with the two Gryffindor girls, he was quite disappointed. Zander actually liked Care of Magical Creatures, believe it or not, and this was their chance to learn more stuff! And all they got was toys and like okay maybe a few notes, buuuut still! Maybe book club may have been the better choice after all. Hmph. But uh, what were they supposed to do with the toys? Yes they were incredibly cute and stuff, but it's not like he could actually be seen carrying a doll around with him! He was a third year. A third year man. A brave Gryffindor third year man who did not carry dolls. He'd just have to hide it in his trunk and hope that Peeves wouldn't go up to the dorms again. Zander caught sight of Ethan and returned his look with a shrug. Why did they have to end the meeting so early? Did it have something to do with the creepy lightning and cold one walker thing? Because in that case, Zander felt much safer here. With a professor. And warm blankets. Speaking of which, when he heard Ethan ask about the blankets Zander gave an enthusiastic nod. Yes, that would be HIGHLY appreciated. Then looking to both Emmylou and Cinnamon, Zander sighed. "Do you guys wanna... you know... erm... Walk back to the common room together?" Because there was no way he was going up to the seventh floor by himself! |
That was it? There was no food to start, no creatures to hold her--except this stuffed thing, what was this anyway?--then they leave? No big adventure like Cassia got to go on? Laaaame. She was animating hers and letting her Kneazle have a grand time with it. What else was there to do with a stuffed toy? She was never the type to cuddle teddies and treat them like the living things they were not-- Whaaaaa? "The dorms? But it's still so early. Are we not having dinner then?" Last she checked, the sky changing colour meant they'd be fed soon. They couldn't not get fed just because someone got over their moment of stupidity and decided to come back inside. This wouldn't work. Nope. Lex rose from her seat, giving another glance through the window but not seeing much in the way of anything special. The kitchen Professor, the Gryffindor was going to the kitchen, not her dorms. Food was a serious matter. More serious even than points. |
Caleb had been relatively quiet the whole meeting, mainly because he was still getting over that flu and he was more in the mood for a nap than this meeting. But he still took one of the tiny toys out of the bag as it was passed around - after all, it WAS the closest thing he'd ever get to a REAL hippogriff for a pet. No way Mum and Dad were going to let him get one of those. But then - it was over? Wow, that had been fast. Caleb gathered his teeny tiny hippogriff and then followed the crowd out of the library, excited to get back to his dorm and in his warm bed. |
Simon's jaw dropped. He shot Ethan and Zander a confused glance. This didn't make any sense whatsoever. What? How-? Huh?How could they be done so early. They had only gotten their toys and they were about to start learning about all this cool stuff. Nothing made sense. Why had the Professor ended early? Then all of a sudden, Simon's blue eyes widened with a thought. Ohhh... That made sense. Perhaps the Professor wanted to go see what was going on outside the library. He probably wanted to check up on Cassia and Jasmine. So he started to pack away all of his things and then nodded towards the Professor. "Stay warm, sir," he said. It was way too cold in the corridors these days. Hogwarts was getting unsafe so he thought it'd be wise to ask a buddy to walk back with together. Simon wasn't scared of walking alone. He just thought it would be smarter to walk in a pack back to the Common Room. Mhmm.. So he called out to Ethan and asked him. " Hey! Want to walk back to the Common Room together?" |

He squeezed his tiny hippogriff and without further adieu scarpered off from the library. |
Text Cut: Charely Potter So the meeting was over? It seemed like a rushed ending, but Sophie couldn't blame the professor. With everything that had happened in the past half hour, she was surprised the meeting hadn't ended earlier. She did, however, narrow her eyes at one thing the professor said. Had he said something about being wary of another professor roaming around? Had that been a professor they'd seen earlier, and he just saw something they didn't? Hmm... With her toy hippogriff clutched in her hand, Sophie gathered her belongings and started to leave. "Bye, Professor. Thanks for the hippogriff," she said. She waved to him before heading off toward the common room. |
That was rather quick. Beverly blinked at the professor then at the miniature hippogriff. So that was that? Okay. She could do with the free time, though she would have liked to go into detail about creatures and stuff. Oh well. She had better things to do. Sort of. Yeah. And no, that did not involve the common room just yet. Beverly Wayne had somewhere to be and as a Slytherin she was confident she wouldn't get caught. Gathering her belongings and holding on to the hippogriff she name Remmy a second ago, she waved at the professor. "Thank you for the toy." |

It's just that...the dungeons are so cold at the moment. Anyway, he shrugged back to Zander, eyed Cutty scampering away, then to Simon. "Let's go, Watson." It was the wisest thing to do. Besides, they could practice football down in the third year dorms. Alec's gifts were awesome. Oh and...maybe Simon knows a thing or two about it. Ethan stuffed his hippogriff toy inside his satchel and stood up. "Thanks for the short...discussion, professor. And yeah, the toy. Will take care of it." Yes. Apparently, things have gone weird over the few minutes they were there, and thought it wise to walk down to the dungeons with his best bud. Mhm. He glanced one more time at the window, then headed towards the door. |

Javy could now hear Nessa release the others as well now, "Alright, let's leave in an orderly fashion nice and quiet." Walking with them out after tidying up the area they were residing in. Hopefully things were okay for Leo, Piers and the students that were returning now. |
