| | |  CoMC Lesson 1: Flight of the Phoenix
It was a lovely September morning, not too hot and not too cold. A perfect day for this lesson! Tristan had set up shop in an empty pasture in front of the barn. He set out bales of hay in a semi circle for the students to sit on, and a black board in front of the semi circle. There was not one clue as to what creature they would be working with today. He wanted it to be a surprise.
There was a throne fashioned out of hay bales, and on it sat Professor Wayland with a grin on his face. Hey if he was going to be waiting for students to arrive he might as well be comfortable. He took a sip of his Chai Tea from his mug, and sat on his hay throne waiting for his students to make their appearance.
OOC: Welcome to the first CoMC Lesson of the term! Though this is our first lesson together, this is not the first CoMC lesson of the year, so please keep that in mind! Please make sure you take a gander at the CoMC Rules while waiting. Class will start in 24 hours. Class has begun so please jump in and join us!

That was today's topic?
Okay.
No.
That was totally fine.
It was just a Phoenix. This was Magical Creatures after all. They wouldn't be dealing with FIRE. Just Phoenixes. That was totally fine. He could do this. "Wands." Cameron said, voice rather void of emotion as he raised his hand. "Their feathers can be used in wands. As wand cores." Yes. That. See? Totally fine. It was just a Phoenix. |

A Phoenix. Wow. Etta simply stared at the magnificent bird in wonder. She had read about it in books obviously but to actually see it.. well, it was way better. She sighed a little before realising that the professor was actually speaking so she shifted her gaze to him, occasionally flicking a gaze towards the bird.
Uh. Trying to recollect what she had read before, Etta raised a hand. "Well.. they can magically disappear and reappear whenever they want... that is, they can apparate." -- and she went back to staring at Ash.

BE STILL HER BEATING HEART! Professor Wayland WINKED at her. At HER. It was amazing, really. HE was amazing. The Gryffindor wanted to hold hands with someone and sing sings it was so purely fantastic.
Ahem. But things were happening. Like Sam came to join her. Bestie! Dora smiled in greeting and then nudged her to be quiet when the man began to speak. ...HE HAD JUST SAID SOMETHING ABOUT FIRE!!
!!
Most amazing classes dealt with fire in some form or fashion, you see. Oh, but Phoenixes. Dora raised her hand before saying, "They can take the Killing Curse and still like... rebirth themselves." Fascinating, wasn't it?! Dora had studied Phoenixes that one year she had been obsessed with them. Mhm.

Kimi listened to the professors question and raised his hand and said "Phoenix's tears have got really good healing powers" Kimi knew that it had already been answered but he wanted to get his answer in anyway

Shay was was sitting on her hay bale, pondering the possible topic of the day's lesson when not one, but two of her buddies arrived. First Noelle sat down next to her. Then the two Gryffindors were joined by Ava. "Hey guys", Shay said, glad to be surrounded by her housemates.
Shay had no time for conversation because just like that, it was time for class to begin. Parchment and quill at the ready, she began to note the topic for the day, Fire Animals. More specifically, they would learn about the phoenix. Shay had to stifle a gasp when the professor's phoenix swooped down from above. It was truly a beautiful and majestic animal. Lost in the bird's unusual beauty, Shay almost missed the first question.
What kind of magical abilities did the phoenix have? Shay raised her hand. "Their feathers have powerful magical abilities. When they are used as wand cores, their wands have been known to have a mind of their own........act on their own accord.". That was really pretty awesome when you think about it.

She doubted that the hay throne was comfy. Well, wasn't that sitting on the hay for too long could cause an itchy bum? Hopefully not, because in this lesson they did sit on a stack of hay.
Ava listened to the Professor once the lesson had started. As the man whistled, she saw a creature flew to him. A phoenix? Wow. She didn't remember if she had seen a phoenix before. The Gryffindor raised her hand as Professor Wayland asked them. "The tears of phoenix are known for their healing properties, especially it's the only antidote to basilisk venom." She answered.
Were they going to take care of the phoenix today? It seemed so.

Hah! A lesson about fire creatures! COOOOOL! This she liked! Grinning from ear to ear she stared with twinkling eyes at the teacher. Everything related to fire was cool and fun! Buuuut… Wasn’t it a little dangerous for the professor to be surrounded with hay while handling a fire creature? Hmm… Slowly raising her hand she answered the question because, well… she actually KNEW something about this! “The song of a phoenix can help somebody in need to face whatever he or she is encountering and he or she will feel strengthened because of it” she said with a proud grin because she just KNEW that she was right about this one.

HE KNEW IT!
The professor couldn't fool him with the whole wait and see routine professors, and adults in general really, always seemed so keen on doing to build up suspense or something. It was like shaking a present on Christmas morning and KNOWING based on the sound what was in but having mum and dad neither confirming nor denying your suspicion. On this was WAY better than unwrapping some paper and seeing a dark peacock blue overcoat neatly folded in a box and THAT was saying something.
Derf's eyes were aaaaaaaaall on the professor's phoenix, completely awestruck because this was the closest he had actually come to seeing one in person. Like...liiiiiiiike...he could just reach out and touch it if he REALLY wanted to.
"That's-s-s a clever name, professor," the Hufflepuff noted, half listening to the answers his classmates were given - information of which he already knew like the back of his hand really. Ash...phoenix's reborn from ashes...it was clever. "They share a trait with diricawls...the ability to disappear and reappear...only phoenixes-s-s do s-s-so in burs-s-sts of flame...KIND OF like how we travel by magical flame while flowing...only a phoenix can travel with a witch or wizard by poofing with their flames..." He nodded, adding on to what Etta said. "Does-s-s this-s mean you can apparate in and out of Hogwarts-s, profes-s-sor?"
Listened to the magical bird's song, Derf was reminded that the song of a phoenix struck fear in the hearts of the impure...which was a thought he just so happened to have juuuuuuuuuust as he looked towards Cameron and saw him looking...uneasy.
.........................GASP!
Some had already mentioned the song...so Derf was going to elaborate a bit...while staring at Cameron.
"Their s-song is-s-s psychological in nature...s-s-since it can either give s-strength and hope to those it sings for OR stir up feelings-s that are either repressed or have been ignored in the heart of s-someone truly evil. Looks-s-s like right now As-s-sh is-s-s singing for YOU, profes-ss-sor...so I reckon you were feeling kinda nervous-s and uns-sure teaching today s-so Ash is-s-s helping you out." He paused a moment to think some more on this. "This-s-s kinda implies-s-s that a phoenix is-s-s too pure and can't EVER be us-s-sed for evil," he added with some enthusiastic nodding - but still totally staring at you Cameron! "The Phoenix Lament is S-S-SUPER powerful form of phoenix song... and can touch the s-s-soul."
Which had nothing REALLY to do with fire...which the professor had hinted at being the focus of the lesson...using fire magic in a special way. But he had sort of talked about that too.

Oooooh, phoenixes? That was good. Mega good, actually. Especially because of the whole fire thing; maybe Abey would be comfortably warm soon if they were dealing with phoenixes and fire.
Though one thing did occur to him as he raised his eyes to the flying, singing phoenix, and it was something he voiced as impulsively as he voiced all of his ideas; aka, without raising his hand first. "Aren't they actually really actually mega difficult to dum-ess-ti-cate? Mama said it was really really rare to have them as pets when I asked her if I could have one." That wasn't really a property so much as it was a behaviour thingy, but it was WORTH mentioning because they were in the presence of someone who had an actual actually dumessticated one. He looked at the professor and stamped his feet on the floor to warm himself up a bit. Wayland was probably an actual creatures genius if he really had had a phoenix for a long time.
And, obviously, the thought of a 'creatures genius' had Abey glancing across the pasture at Derf, his villain and another actual proper creatures expert.
He looked back at Professor Wayland as he thought of something. "My wand has a phoenix feather in it. My last one did, too."
Rest in pieces.

Bentley grinned at Althea. "No need to be mysterious. I am aware that I am the certain that you were saving your socialness for." He got it, he was the life of the party most places. Must be that inner sunshine that his mother always went on about.
You know what made hay even more itchy....body heat. Bentley sighed when Declan the older Kenning squeezed in between them. Bigger brother duties. He understood the urge to do stuff like this so he didn't mind it too much. In fact, the 6th year scooted over just a bit to give the boy some space.
Wah? Why was the Toussaint girl glaring at him? He flashed her a puzzled look before turning his attention to the professor.
Class was starting....
Well there was no need to answer anything else was there? That was pretty much all he knew about phoenixes, so if the professor was gonna teach them more, bring it on.

Oh wow! They were going to learn about phoenixes. Now that was pretty cool. She'd read about the bird, but hadn't really seen one before. Like many of her class mates were saying they were hard to domesticate, so not many people had them as pets. So to see one in person, was really cool, and Hattie liked it. It was so pretty, though she figured it could probably look ugly too, especially when it was being reborn. Nobody looked pretty when they were being born.
Now to think of an answer to the question. She didn't want to seem like she was just repeating everyone else, because what was the point in that? "Like some of my peers are saying, the phoenix tear has a lot of healing power. It can even protect from basilisk venom, which is pretty much deadly in any other situation"

Oooooh! A phoenix. Oliver didn't think he saw the bird while he was at the hut earlier in the term. Heard it probably but he stayed on the porch, so he wouldn't have known. But it was something special for sure. There were lots of answers going around that Oliver already knew to be true.
A younger student he didn't know even mentioned wand cores. He'd just build upon that thought. "They're continually reborn from their own ashes, which kind of makes his name a pun." He was amused at the thought. "And according to Garrick Ollivander Phoenix tail feathers make for one of the strongest wand cores." Which he thought having three in general was a bit... Boring, when there were so many materials out there.. But that was a different talk for a different time.

| Ava, Shay, and mentions of Olly Let your light shine || Be the sun || You're important. Always.
Ava sat down next to Noelle and Noelle gave her a big grin. "Hey you" She said before class was starting and King the Professor started talking about fire animals. Alright. Now this was how you started a year off. Noelle wasn't so much into fire as she was into interesting animals and elemental animals.
.....
......
........
Swoon.
A phoenix just swooped in and loved on the King Professor. Merlin's beard. Was it getting hot out here? Noelle fanned herself absentmindedly as she watched the beautiful creature and the Phoenix. What was he saying? Other students were speaking up and Noelle took a moment to tear her eyes away and took a look around. She spotted Olly and it took a moment to realize that he wasn't right beside her.
Oh right. Phoenixes. "Their tears heal." Noelle said, looking back at the Professor.
Swoon.

So today they were learning about Phoenixes. That was neat, he supposed as one landed by the Professor. What magical abilities did they have? Quite a lot, as his classmates mentioned. He didn't exactly study the creature but read enough books that mentioned them to form a thought on them.
"They can form a unique bond with their owner. It allows them to find where they are and when to go to their aid if needed." They were like friendly bodyguards to Kirk.

Only enough hay to make that one throne? But...but....oh so then he....wait.....that was made by HAND. Jessa blinked, openly confused by the Professor's statement. She'd thought he'd magicked the hay into such a formation, creating more where needed. Even if he didn't have hay, couldn't he still transfigure a throne for her?
The girl thought to ask but then he mentioned fire which naturally caught her attention. The Ravenclaw was rather fond of fires. Add dragons--which reminded her she needed to have a word with him once the lesson was over--and Jessa was ALL ears.
There was some amount of disappointment at hearing the dragons wouldn't be the topic of the lesson. Unlike Derf and a few others, she wasn't entirely enthused about Phoenixes. They were alright but they weren't the be all end all. "The day they die is called the burning day. Leading up to that, they look absolutely horrid, have feathers falling out and gag a ton. They kinda look like a bird that's been plucked and ready for the last of it." Which was pretty interesting stuff she supposed.
As an afterthought, she lifted her hand once more. "Can I watch the next time your phoenix has a burning dad, Professor?" She couldn't remember how frequently it happened but honestly she was hoping Ash was due any month now.

Was that a phoenix? Olly's eyes widened a bit as he watched the magical bird fly toward the professor. Phoenixes were really cool so obviously this was going to be a really cool lesson. Olly had not taken his eyes off the bird and was not really focusing on anything else, oops? This meant that he completely missed the question. Other students started offering answers but how could he answer a question that he hadn't heard? He tried to listen to what they were saying to figure out what the question was. They seemed to be talking about different things phoenixes could do.
"They're really strong," he offered. "One phoenix would be able to fly with several wizards, or witches, holding on to its tail feathers." | |

"I don't know if this is actually true of the phoenix, professor," Kyle started, thinking, "But I read that a phoenix can live 500 to 1500 years before it's burning day, so long as something else doesn't happen to it."

So they were talking about phoenixes today? How interesting; Skylar dutifully took notes as to what was being said about magical properties of phoenixes. Lots of repeat information about rebirth and wands and bond with their owner; surely there was something unique that hadn't been said?
Pressing her lips together, she blinked thoughtfully before raising her hand, once she thought of something, semi-related, but different. It was related to their abilities. "Phoenixes are immune to basilisks, which would normally petrify or kill people, and they can also take the full front of the killing curse and still be reborn." Like for real, how many creatures could be killed, yet still survive?

For example, dragons breathe fire, Ashwinders are born from fire, Fire Crabs shoot flames from their shells." He paused, "But today we aren't going to be working with any of those. Today we will be working with an animal far more majestic, and uses fire in a more unique way." With that, he paused again and whistled a very lovely tune. A few moments later, a beautiful Phoenix flew over the roof of the barn, and soon landed on the professor's outstretched arm. The bird then nudged his cheek in a demanding way. Smiling, Tristan gave him a treat.
"This is my Phoenix, Ash. I have had him for quiet some time, and if you have ever come to visit me at my hut or the barn I am sure you have already seen him flying around." He smiled, and rubbed the sweet bird on the neck. "Now that we have him here, maybe you can answer me this question. What magical abilities do Phoenixes posses?" After he asked the question, Ash started to sing one of his beautiful melodies. It immediately calmed Tristan down. Apparently, he was more nervous than he realized.
OOC: Thanks for coming yall! Class has officially started so please keep the chatter to a minimum, if you haven't posted your charrie in here and want to, please feel free to jump right in and pretend as though they've been here the entire time. Please remember that if you show up late there will be IC consequences.
I will be moving the class along again in roughly 22-24 hours. Sully couldn't help it. She let a audible gasp "AHHH!" She was in love with this bird already! He was gorgeous!!!! Sully slinked forward wanting to touch him so bad! But probably not a good idea.
Listening to the Professors question what did she know about these majestic birds. "They have tears of healing power!" She smiled yay!!! She remembered something. "And they can carry very heavy loads right. Weight way beyond their measure." Okay ... maybe that was a bit too much. She could have been wrong about that part.

Daniel raised his hand as he thought about the phoenix. "They are really loyal to their owners." Hadn't he read that they would do anything for their owner, though he wanted to know if that was the case would they do anything their owner asked them to.

OOOH phoenixes! New professor was coming out with a BANG! Kane had settled on one of the hay bales near the back - he preferred to watch this new dude from afar and get a scope for what his teaching style was like before getting closer. Smiling, he propped himself up a bit (he was sinking into the hay just a little bit...was his butt getting bigger and heavier?!) and then raised his hand.
"They go through a cycle of death and rebirth by bursting in to flames when its time for them to die," he explained. So weird but also totally metal.

Teddy wasn't aware of the professor making looks at her. She was too busy in thought, dreaming about the days her ammi would make on warm late nights in New Delhi.
A flash of red woke her up from her thoughts as she looked up and saw the majestic creature on the professor's arm. Holy Scully! A phoenix. She had never seen one this close. Teddy's eyes took in all the beautiful details of the creature and when it started to sing...she no longer felt so sad.
Could they touch it? Her hand reached out slowly, "They have healing powers in their tears, Professor. Loyal, too." Let her touch it, please, please.

Rooney was confused by the thumbs up from the Professor, choosing to take it as a congratulations for showing up today - as if there would be plausible reason for Roo to forget to come to class. Besides being missing or traumatising over the entire subject of his ordeal. Luckily, he didn't have to suffer through much more thoughts about all of that, because class was starting up properly now. Thankfully! He shuffled to get comfortable on the hay bale he was sat on, attempting to cross his legs but ultimately failing because they were just longer than he thought they were.
Fire conversation though! He only hoped that they weren't properly dealing with fire because everything around them would go up in flames immediately. And thaaaaaat would be ugly.
Was that a....? Oh wow. Rooney was completely positive that he had never seen a Phoenix up close and personal in his entire life and he audibly gasped. This was going to be something that he remembered forever and ever. And when the Phoenix began to sing...Roo froze in his spot, staring ahead, mouth agape.
He couldn't even muster an answer.

Zarina was glad she didn't miss this lesson, especially her favorite creature was being discussed and an attractive professor what could be better? She was sitting there staring in awe at the Phoenix. So they were going to learning about fire creatures? That sounded so awesome. Zae was always fascinated with phoenixes. I mean the creature stood for something anyways, it stood for new beginnings which is what people wanted. Plus Zae was checking out the Professor, he seemed to be cute. She was smiling all giddy like and couldn't help but draw attention to herself by raising her hand. "Professor I know Phoenixes stand for new beginnings like their symbol and stuff. They are also reborn from the ashes like people have said.." She began to play with her hair and put her hand down when she was done.

He smiled. "Phoenixes also represent the sun, because each dawn was like a new beginning, and the sunset was seen as a death. And the phoenix was thought to be as bright as the sun."
