Professor Rae struggled to open the door to the classroom, nearly tripping over the door frame on her way in. In her arms sat a quite heavy something that was covered in a large star-spangled cloth. She inched it carefully onto her desk before heaving a great sigh of relief that the task was done. Brushing her hands off, Professor Rae crossed the room. After removing her wand, she flicked it, causing the sconces on the walls to flame to life.

"There now," she watched the fire light dance merrily on the walls, then turned to wait for her students to enter.

"Exactly! Freezing them would make them look this bluish, wouldnt it? And it makes sense since Ashwinders egg are exremely dangerous when they get in contact with oxigin and anything that is flamable (sp?)."

"Professor they are pogrebins," Becca said while raising her hand.

"Yeah, I think you're right," she says to Becca.

phoenixtears489 · 07-12-2004, 02:20 AM

Are you able to freeze them? Wouldn't they be a little too hot?

*snapws fingers* THAT is, you are right, that's way mor plausible - if it had been ashwinder eggs and they were frozen there would be no need in isolating them

miss_sweetheart · 07-12-2004, 02:23 AM

but wouldn't Pogrebins be bigger?

"No...arent porgrebins hairy?"

Katelyn thinks for a minute, but speaks again.

"Oh nevermind! Your right, because when they crouch down they resemble smooth rocks..."

Cassirin · 07-12-2004, 02:24 AM

"Exactly, Becca!" Professor Rae said excitedly. "I'll give you 10 points, because I really didn't expect it to be that much of a challenge. This is a pogrebin." She tapped the tank with her wand, and the whole pile seemed to quiver.

"What is the MoM rating on this creature?"

miss_sweetheart · 07-12-2004, 02:25 AM

XXX

phoenixtears489 · 07-12-2004, 02:25 AM

Light bulbs flash. Yes that is what they are. That makes perfect sense now!

XXX

I think it was mentioned before, Professor, by Becca

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 07-12-2004, 02:25 AM

Becca already said it, it's XXX

Yes, pogrebins are hairy

And no, pogrebins are only 30 centimitres long

Katelyn raises hand.

"The rating is 'Competent Wizard should cope:XXX'

phoenixtears489 · 07-12-2004, 02:29 AM

Professor, what affects did you have to protect everyone against, by the spell?

hpgirl476 · 07-12-2004, 02:32 AM

OOC: Please stop cutting and pasting from the Lexicon. Not only do I consider that cheating, but it ruins the fun by not allowing me to ask any other questions. let's only answer the questions asked, because then I can award more points.

occ- I am very sorry Cassirin. I am. I will not do that any more.

Cassirin · 07-12-2004, 02:34 AM

"Good, miss_sweetheart, the rating is indeed XXX. Five points for Ravenclaw. I also appreciate the extra information from Katelyn - the XXX rating simply means that any competent, trained Wizard could easily handle this creature. That's an additional five points for Ravenclaw."

"I understand the confusion. When fully extended, the pogrebin does appear hairy, but it blends in so well with surrounding stones that its impossible to tell the difference simply by looking. In fact, there is only ONE pogrebin in this tank. The rest are stones."

"Let's take a small detour and discuss the MoM classification system. What is the highest classification?"

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 07-12-2004, 02:34 AM

It's XXX because pogrebins likes to attack humans from all victims the best and makes them despair when being following quite a while.

If you mean which spell would fight them, I guess it's Stupefy, right, professor? They are quite fragile creatures, really...

Oh, btw, the only part with has no hair is the head. I appologize for my mistake.

Arkee Maldemer · 07-12-2004, 02:35 AM

"5 X's, right?"

They love to follow people around, infusing them with a sense of hopelessness until the human collapses, at which point the pogrebin attempts to devour them.

Kali raises her hand. "XXXXX Known wizard killer/ impossible to train or domesticate"

phoenixtears489 · 07-12-2004, 02:37 AM

I think that XXX is the highest.

Professor, you said that you found this in your office I believe. If they are native to Russia, then how would one manage to travel here? Dark wizard?

theaussiebillywig · 07-12-2004, 02:38 AM

'XXXXX - any animal with this rating is impossible train or domesticate. It's most likely to kill the person who tries to anyway...'

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 07-12-2004, 02:40 AM

Guess I'm a lttle too late... well,

XXXXX (5 Xs) which means: known to murder, impossible to train
XXXX Dangerous, needs for especial knowledge, experimented wizards can handle them
XXX Competent Wizards can train them
XX Hrmless, can be trained
X Boring
^^

"I'll get to that in just a bit, dear." She winked.

"Now, Arkee has it. The highest rating, and most dangerous creatures receive this rating, is the XXXXX rating. Five points for Hufflepuff. Kali hit it on the head when she said that such an animal would be a known wizard killer and cannot be domesticated. For instance, a dragon is often thought to be an XXXXX, although there are some eternal optimists that believe they can be trained." She smiled a private smile at that information.

"I'm not sure as of yet how it got in, although it made my Dark Magic Detector go quite wonky. I'm looking into it, but it is highly possible that the creature crawled in of its own accord. I haven't exactly been full of hope this past year, and I made an easy target. Plus, if you've been in my office, you know my shelves are a mess."

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 07-12-2004, 02:46 AM

*Nadia's eyes raised from her notes - "So that was it, what settled the DMD... still it's a mistery how it got there...

ooc: Sorry about my previous answer-post; I didn't read the question carefully enough and I thought I had to give all of the ratings, you can erase it if you want, Cassirin.

theaussiebillywig · 07-12-2004, 02:55 AM

*skims through the paragraph on Pogrebin's in her book, notices something interesting and raises her hand*

'Err...it says here 'If a Pogrebin is allowed to tail a human for many hours...' What do they mean by 'allowed to'?

Cassirin · 07-12-2004, 02:58 AM

"Now, we've already established some information about the pogrebin. It is small and gray, with a hairy body that can be hidden when it squats on the ground. Mostly this is due to its large, smooth head, as well as to magic and the ability to stay deceptively still. The pogrebin is mainly found in Russia, although there have been some found throughout the world, probably carried there by wizards or in another fashion. Generally, pogrebins aren't very fast unless they are following someone and aren't keen on much travel."

"How does the presence of a pogrebin affect a person?"

ooc: Don't worry about it, Nadia. It was quite informative.
