CoMC Lesson 2: Yeti
|
permission slip for Ashley Fox, first year of ravenclaw House From Friday, the 2nd of February 2103 to Sunday, the 4th of February 2103, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will be organizing a Care of Magical Creatures camping field trip to the International Yeti Camp for Observation in Tibet [IYCOT]. The trip will begin at 07:00 sharp and will return to Hogwarts by the end of Sunday night. There were so many things that could go wrong. There were portkeys, yetis, and camping, in a combination. Ashley did not like this. She gave no indication of this, however, as she shivered and briefly set her bag down to take a sip of a muggle drink she had gotten her hands on. "Hi," she said to the professor. "Are those the portkeys?" Repeat. She did not like portkeys. Or camping. She would see about the yetis part. She handed the professor her permission slip. She couldn't believe her bodyguards let her father sign it. Especially since they were the ones who would have read it first. But if they said it was okay, then she would probably be alright. She took a couple deep breaths to calm herself as she looked around for whoever would show up next. |
The strangest thing about this trip, in Catherine's opinion, was that she was more curious and interested in the fact they were going to Tibet than the fact they would be learning about Yeti. She didn't know an awful lot about the local culture, but the little she knew did spark her curiosity and she wanted to learned more. The fact they'd be in a Yeti Camp was a bonus Catherine noticed the portkeys way before she arrived and didn't bother asking what they were because, well, she knew. Not only were they travelling internationally in group, it was also stated in their permission slip that that was what they'd be doing. Besides, she could think of no other plausible reason why professor Williamson would have a pile of rubbish in front of him. As she was one of the first to arrive, she gave the man a head nod as greeting, hading in her permission slip and moving to the side and out of the way. She would wait for groups to start forming and would probably stand near one that was incomplete. Text Cut: Permission slip |
Joining Ashley and Catherine This was going to be SO AWESOME! Cecelia honestly couldn't even BELIEVE she'd convinced her parents to let her go. It had helped that Noah and Catherine were going. It also helped that she'd drawn out her own little illustrated presentation explaining WHY this trip was the best thing to ever happen to her. EXPLORATION, FAR OFF LAND, CREATURE DISCOVERY. It was all very important stuff, you know, and it had worked! She was all smiles as she joined the small group already in attendance, wearing her warmest winter clothing and carrying her backpack she used whenever she went camping. It felt as close to an explorer's backpack as she could get. "Hi Professor! You look cozy!" Did she look ready for adventure? Because she WAS! OH- "Here's my permission slip!" SPOILER!!: Permission Slip "Hey Cat, hey-small person! Hello!" She grinned at them, unable to contain her excitement for even a second. "We should portkey together." |
Field trip! Naya was pumped. It was time for her favorite class and they were going on a field trip. What more could she ask for? The Gryffindor arrived for class and could barely contain her excitement. “Hello Professor”, she said with a little too much enthusiasm. Handing in her permission slip, Naya noticed the dreaded portkeys. If there was one thing that could burst her bubble of excitement, it was traveling by portkey. She was prepared however, for the almost sure to happen motion sickness. Naya had her ginger candies in her pocket and she was not afraid to use them. This was going to a fun trip no matter what. SPOILER!!: permission slip |
Finneas Schmoe, reporting for duty! Why was he always asked to help chaperone? Maybe it's because he was always SUPREMELY prepared for whatever exhibition they were bound to partake in. Case and point: the yeti-sized backpack he wore on his back. Finneas knew he was a wizard and could use an extension charm, but he was the muggle studies professor, y'know? It'd look bad if he didn't opt for the muggle way of doing things. So here he was, heavy backpack filled to the brim with everything one could possibly need: sunscreen, snacks, extra scarves, band aids, first aid supplies, epi-pens, shock blanket, extension cords, mum's best carrot soup, and binoculars! He looked proper ready to explore. "My permission slip, Professor," he held that out dutifully before turning around and giving all the currently present students a grand Schmoe-style salute! SPOILER!!: permission slip |
A field trip and a CoMC lesson! Claudine couldn’t be happier. It would be a nice change to get out of the Castle and as long as Trent wasn’t coming along, this trip would be perfect. Bundled snugly in warm clothing, she arrived at the gathering point of the group. “Hi, professor,’’ she said in a muffled tone since her scarf was obscuring her mouth. But behind it, the girl was beaming. Did Williamson know he was the coolest professor ever? Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. Either way, Claudine wasn’t about to tell him that. Instead, she glanced around at the objects that were obviously portkeys as she handed over the permission slip. “I’m looking forward to today's lesson more than usual.’’ Just a fun fact there. All the necessary jazz out of the way, Claudine went to stand silently beside Naya. Oh, there was Schmoe. Hi, professor. SPOILER!!: Permission slip |
Joining Ashley and...Catherine and Cecelia Field trip day! Sure, it may have been terribly cold and terribly early, but Mamie was chipper as a squirrel and was about as prepared for this trip as a squirrel was for winter. Bundled up with her eyes barely showing between her scarf and her hat, she had gathered her regular Muggle backpacking/camping gear from when her family went camping. Though...she had never gone camping in the winter, or in a Yeti camp, so this was new. Clutching her permission slip tightly in her gloved hands, she handed it to Professor Williamson and went to stand by her friend Ashley and two older students. "Thi-thi-this is so exciting!" she enthused. She was sure her brothers had never gotten to go on a camping field trip for school. SPOILER!!: Mamie Turov Permission Slip |
Joining Naya & Claudine Despite the dangers, Heath was excited to go on this field trip! He knew he could trust Profesor Williamson not to let him die - not that he’d likely find himself in that situation anyway. He wasn’t one to disregard a professor’s instructions. But most importantly, yetis looked a lot like wampas, making them the closest he’d ever come to seeing a Star Wars creature! In fact, he wondered if the wampa was based on a yeti. He knew that it wasn’t unheard of for muggles to encounter a yeti, so maybe someone on the Empire Strikes Back creative team had seen one and drawn on that experience for the movie. Asdfjkl!!! He needed to know! He shook his head, realizing how weird his thoughts were. Never mind, no time to think about that now. Dark eyes peered over the top of his scarf as he approached the Creatures classroom. Oh, Professor Schmoe was coming along? Good, the more trustworthy professors on this trip, the better! “Hello, Professors,” Heath greeted, handing in his permission slip to Williamson. He was glad for the scarf covering the bottom half of his face so no one would see the blush on his cheeks. Why did his mum have to include that bit of information on the last line? No one was ever supposed to know that about him! Merlin, he hoped Williamson would keep that to himself! With that done, Heath went to stand with Claudine and Naya. “Hi,” he greeted, nodding to both girls in turn. SPOILER!!: Permission slip |
Looking for a group to join! :D This was Serena's first class that involved getting out of the school, and she really didn't know what to expect from it. On one hand, she was excited to see Tibet as she had never been, but on the other hand, she really did not want a repeat of what happened during her Defense Against the Dark Arts class. She wanted to keep all her limbs intact, thank you very much. "Good Morning Professor." The 14-year old greeted with a small smile was she walked up to him and she handed him her permission slip. "Here's my permission slip, Sir." After handing the signed piece of parchment to Professor Williamson, she looked up, surprised to see muggle studies Professor, Professor Schmoe was also in attendance. Maybe he was chaperoning the field trip? "Good Morning to you too Professor." She greeted with the same small smile before turning away to find a group of students that she could group together with. After all, there was safety in numbers. SPOILER!!: Permission Slip |
Schmoe HIIIiiii, Professor Jawbone. Phoebe gave him a little fingerwave before shoving the permission slip at him. They were going on an adventure, so she was going to forgive her father for the message on her slip. Just so long as Jawbone didn't read it out loud or anything. She skipped over to greet Professor Schmoe with a huge grin. "You're in my group, okay, sir? I'll make sure you get there safely." SPOILER!!: form |
June did not have a permission slip, and she had not been worrying about this thing until she saw Schmoe handing a slip to Professor Williamson. WHY. Feeling fourteen and unsure, the herbology professor made her way over to the two, looking doubtful and somewhat amused, "Will I not be allowed to go if I didn't have this slip on me, sir?" Why are you the way you are, Schmoe? "I REALLY want to go though, so please reconsider" Though her tone was a bit playful, she was low-key hoping she wouldn't have to OWL Jade the very last minute. She really really wanted to see a YETI, you see. |
Valencia was excited. She packed everything on the list, including extra clothes and muggle matches, just in case. She even had some snacks and extra water tucked away in her bag. Woo! Field trip! "Hello Professor." she said handing in her slip. She looked around before wandering toward Professor Schmoe. He was coming too? SPOILER!!: Permission |
standing by Serena! Josh may not YET be able to face his pops about his future in quidditch and what the sixth year really wanted to do...but those in the know ought to at least throw him part of a bone for putting his foot down when it came to this field trip. And THAT had taken a lot of effort. Pops had seen this overnight 'yeti hunt' as a complete waste of time and nothing more than something that would put Josh's training on hold. Something apparently he could not afford to do. The Gryffindor wasn't sure how he had done it, maybe her had filibustered his way to the conclusion, but a deal had been struck and he had the permission slip triumphantly in hand. SPOILER!!: permission slip Or it HAD been in hand because he had turned it in and then blushed when he saw Professor Flamsteed was a chaperon on this trip. And now he was second guessing his wardrobe...namely what Eliza may have slipped in there to embarrass and tease him. He would not put it past her to do something and laugh about imagining what his face looked like when he discovered ... whatever it was. Anyway. Just...not...yeah...no...thinking about something else. Blushing a bit more at his own thoughts, Josh ruffled his hair and came to a stop beside a younger Slytherin girl. Looking around a bit, he spotted Phoebe and waved at her. Or waved her down? Group up? He also spotted his little Herbology buddy, Mamie, that he was feeling pretty protective of BUT...she seemed well taken care of and in a group of four already. "You wanna group up?" he asked the girl near him as he pulled his hand from his hair. "I'm Josh." |
joining heath, naya, & claudine Bundled up in a warm coat, boots, and scarf, Avalon arrived with a smile on her face for Care of Magical Creatures. Field trips were always exciting, but she was even more excited to be going with Professor Williamson. She had been thoroughly enjoying CoMC this term, and....well, any class that didn't involve Headmaster Trent was quickly becoming her new favorite. "Good morning, Professor," Avalon said with a wave as she handed in her permission slip. Her Head of House got a wave hello as well. Eyeing the mangy looking objects on the floor, she hypothesized that those were the portkeys. Hopefully she wouldn't have to touch the boot one - it was emitting a putrid odor. Avalon approached Heath, Claudine, and Naya and gave the group a smile in greeting. SPOILER!!: Permission Slip |
We're on WWW's team. No protests, sir "It's toooooo early." Emmerson rubbed miserably at her eyes as she came to a stop among the groups of students. It was 7. Breakfast was usually at 7 but today it was earlier which meant she had to wake up earlier and when you don't go to bed until ungodly hours because you HAVE to discuss EVERY LITTLE DETAIL OF EVERYTHING with your bestfriend at night, it was impossible to go to bed early. "Prooooofffeeeessssooorrr, why couldn't we do this ay midday when...when...there's less sleep in my eyes. I don't make good decisions til I'm awake." The First Year extended her permission slip to the man then reached out to take what would probably be a free hand. She was on his team. No questions asked. She was too tired to think of anything too deep. Professor of lesson = partner. SPOILER!!: permission slip |
Violet could not believe her grandfather had relented and signed the permission slip. He had been very clear about her being restricted to campus for the entire year, no trips to Hogsmeade, no nothing. But he must have realized that this would affect her grade and agreed to it at last. He'd signed it, all right, but not without adding a nasty, threatening note at the end. Violet hoped that would not make Professor Williamson mad, but it probably would. She quickly handed it in and then stepped back and tried to blend in with the crowd of students already there. SPOILER!!: Permission Slip |

'Wanna group up?' Startled, Serena followed the sound of the voice who had introduced himself and was surprised to find a much older Gryffindor boy in front of her. This was new, usually she attracted first years and second years like moths to a candle light, but this was the first time she had actually spoken to an older student. "Oh, uh Sure. That would be great actually!" She said unsurely, her hand rising to a lame wave |
if you want us to find something u snuck in ur bag, just mention it in ur post title! Text Cut: Greetings & Replies Right, anyone else? Williamson downed the last bit of his coffee and glanced around, then wiped his mouth on the back of his hand. "Okay, so we have a few minutes before the portkeys activate. Time for a question to get your brains fired up then. Tell me, what did you bring with you to prepare to camp and observe a yeti and other high-altitude creatures? And why did you bring these things?" He nodded to Finneas and June to start inspecting the bags. "We uh, are going to make sure you packed properly, while you answer the question...." Also, had to make sure no one was sneaking any contraband in. He headed to the first student to search their bag. |
Was she late? Were women ever really late? No, of course not they just needed some extra time and honestly if she was going to be going on a field trip she had to come prepared. A witch was always prepared even if her small bag didn't look like she was. If you looked into that charmed bag you might find her entire office in there. Anyway, Cassie headed straight for the students hearing William saying about checking there bags. "Hello, hello, I will get right to it. Please let me see your bag." Grinning towards a student (Violet) and reached for her bag. "Exciting isn't it?" Thought she shouldn't be talking when William just asked a question, now should she. |
you find something in our bag lol Was Carsyn feeling especially cranky this morning? Definitely and it had absolutely NOTHING to do with the 7am weekend arrival to care of magical creatures, because she was normally awake early in the morning anyway. Thank you quidditch routines. So why was the Gryffindor Prefect in a mood then, you ask? Because she was seventeen years old and would be eighteen in two months, yet was still required to hand in a stupid parental permission form. She was old enough to drop out of Hogwarts but wasn't old enough to go on a field trip without contacting her parents first??? Yet if she wanted to drop out of Hogwarts, she doubted she needed their permission. Albeit she had no idea but considering she knew at least four kids in her year who dropped out, two of whom got married Silently giving Professor Williamson a stink-eye when she handed him her form, she stood at the object furthest from him to wait. If they were traveling by portkey - as it appeared - there was no way she wanted to go by portkey with the professor who apparently still considered her a child. Even if she was acting like a child right now. "Snacks. A girl's gotta eat" because even though she was an adult, she was a growing girl and athlete. "Oh and warm clothes because well yetis like much colder climates than Scotland." She did pay attention. See, there was really no reason for her to have contacted her parents about this trip. Even though her sister probably would have told them anyway. SPOILER!!: permission form |
You will probably find something in my bag >.< Serena stood beside her new partner Josh as she watched the professors began the inspection of their bags. As they did so, Professor Williamson asked them what they packed for the trip "Warm clothes. Lots and lots of warm clothes" She said simply with a shrug. If they were going looking for yetis, then it was probably somewhere freezing. "And a pair of omnioculars. To better find them" She added. She watched closely at the ongoing inspection, her hand gripping her bag tightly. She had also packed a music box in the bag, but instead of classical music, she had charmed it to play a muggle nursery rhyme about the Abominable Snowman. The yetis would probably not understand a word of it, but she would, and it would be gloriously hilarious for her. OOC: I'm not sure if I'm allowed to hotlink a youtube video, but if not, please let me know and I would gladly remove it. It was just too funny to pass up. :lol: |
joining naya, heath, claudine and avalon + you can find something in our bag... Cole was excited for a field trip to see a yeti but not about the freezing cold. He was bundled up from head to toe with so much clothing that he probably looked like a stuffed turkey. With his bag packed with everything required on the list along with a few other must haves that his dad had sent along like a magically warmed sleeping bag Cole was ready to get away from Hogwarts for a few hours. "Hello professor Williamson!" Cole chirped excitedly as he handed over his signed permission slip before he went over to stand with his girlfriend Naya and his friends; Heath, Avalon and Claudine. SPOILER!!: Permission slip Quote:

Ahh! We need a group! Ivy ran up just class was starting, a huge (maybe too big) bag strapped across her back. Her breath came out in huge puffs of white air as she gasped to catch her breath. It was a long run from the castle to here. ”Good morning, Professor Williamson!” she said cheerfully, absolutely not a single hint of tears or melancholy. She handed him her permission slip then looked around to see who still had room in her group. Before she’d picked one, though, Professor Williamson was asking about their packing. Taking off her pack, she dropped it to the ground with a loud thud and some clanging. ”I packed several sets of several layers of warm clothes. I brought some stuff to cook in over the fire so we can have hot meals and drinks. Speaking of which - grabbed some tea, lots of food for hot meals like stew ingredients and stuff snd oatmeal. Also baked some granola bars and brought those. It’s really important to have plenty to eat when you’re going to be in the cold because your body burns up extra calories trying to keep you warm,” she explained. This is what you learned in muggle Girl Scouts when you grew up in the coldest parts of the U.S. ”Oh and I also brought a tent because we need protection from the winds, a sleeping bag with an extra blanket, a bed roll so I’m not sleeping right on the ground...” It was a really long list. Her bag was very heavy... |
"I brought food and water, for obvious reasons. Also, I brought normal camping stuff like first aid and a muggle heat blanket. And a regular blanket and a sleeping bag. And warm clothes. And some other case-specific stuff. And my stuffed fox. And my favorite book." The stuffed fox would maybe not be necessary, but it helped her sleep, and sleep was necessary. She hoped they would let her bring it. She looked up and down at the group she had. Mamie, Cecilia(Cece? Ashley wasn't quite sure what her name was but she was nice), and Catherine. Not bad. In fact it was good. She grinned at them. "We can be in group together? Cool." She was very confused as to why someone was calling her small (she was over 5 feet tall) but she didn't mind at all. She jumped up and down coldly but excitedly as she waited for the trip to start. The interest of this trip had begun to overcome her fears about dying. |
