Siobhan'Hannah'Grey
Hufflepuff │ Third Year │ Thirteen Years Old │ Single
This was one of these classes Hannah wished she could have taken first term, but, of course, wasn't offered. She'd pestered her cousin at length about what she knew about what was in the Forbidden Forest, but received only tantalizing clues. Hannah wanted to take part in Aster Frey and Pam's expedition into the Forest, but was headed off by her cousin before even setting foot out of the castle. Now, she would get the chance to go, and was allowed to do so.
As was expected, this first class was where introductions were made, and dire threats of bodily harm passed down for infractions. "Hannah Grey, from Hufflepuff House," she said simply, not wanting to draw things out any further than the professor did.

Tesni Tesni nodded at each student as they made their introductions and made sure to memorize names with faces for the ongoing school year. She hated it when her professors had been so bored or just lazy that they couldn't bother to remember their student's names. When everyone was done she looked at them all expectantly since she had just told them they would be taking notes but she decided to be nice and flicked her wand towards her students and their books fluttered open to the chapter on bowtruckles.
"Lovely to make your acquaintances but on to the main reason you're all here: to learn. Each class will have two main parts; in the first class I will give you a lecture on the creature we are studying and how to interact with them and then the second class we will put what you've learned to the test. Today is the first part and our creatures of interest are Bowtruckles. The Bowtruckle can be found in western England, southern Germany, and certain Scandinavian forests. A Bowtruckle serves as a tree guardian for its home tree, which is usually a tree whose wood is of wand quality, such as the Wiggentree. They are pixie-like bark-coloured tree-guardians of about eight inches in height. They have knobbly arms and legs, two twiglike fingers on each hand and a barklike face with small beetle-brown eyes; a camouflage that makes them difficult to spot in their natural habitat. Even though they seem harmless, they have got really sharp fingers, fingers they have no qualms about using on those they see as a threat. Bowtruckles are generally shy and peaceful, but they become aggressive when their tree or their being is in danger. Woodcutters and wandmakers usually distract them with an offering of woodlice and other treats. They feed on insects, especially woodlice, fairy eggs, and Doxy eggs. Are there any questions?" Tesni paused in her rather short lecture to look around at her class. "If there are none you are free to go back to the castle, if you do you may see me after class. Your homework, give me seven inches on Bowtruckles detailing who they are, what they eat, and whether it's a good or bad thing that they inhabit the trees they do. Deliver it either to my drop box in my office or to me at our next meeting. Class is officially dismissed." she excused them and stood there watching to make sure they made it to the castles and didn't attempt any unusual detours. When she was sure the last student was gone she went to the caretaker's cottage for a quick smoke before her next class.
*Next Class*
Tesni made sure to get out to the Forbidden Forest extra early so that she not only had enough bowtruckles for the students to see and interact with, but also enough wood lice to keep their interest. She also had fairy eggs but they were ones she had found a while ago and had been kept fresh with preserving charms so she hoped to only use them in case of emergency. Fresh fairy eggs were getting harder to find this time of year. Once everything was set up the way she liked it she looked at the time and noticed that she only had a few more minutes of peace before the students descended upon her. She decided against going back into the forest for a quick smoke so she settled on climbing into a nearby tree and relaxing for a bit. Sooner rather than later she saw the telltale signs of students arriving and let out a huff before swinging down from her branch and dropping down in front of them. "Afternoon kiddies. Today we will be doing the bowtruckle interaction so I hope you've brushed up on what you've learned. And before you forget, any who haven't already turned in the essay please do so on that stump." Tesni told them pointing to a nearby stump. "In or around each nearby tree is one bowtruckle. Your task for today is to locate it, sketch it, and interact with it. There are sketching tools for those who don't have any also by the stump and I will be walking around making sure no harm comes to the bowtruckle or to you. Which I doubt since I'm sure you've read the chapter and done the homework." she told her students smiling her tooth grin before it melted back into her neutral facade. "You have 'til the end of class. Begin."

Hannah arrived at the spot where her Care of Magical Creatures class met, right after her friend, Emma, did. Her essay on bowtruckles was already written, and she put on the stump, as her friend just did, and waited for class to start. She was actually kinda excited at having the chance to encounter these tiny beings, and now she really wondered what else was out here in the forest.
Locating a Bowtruckle was a bit easier than spotting a Snitch, as the former was larger than the latter, and her eyes lit up when she saw one of the diminutive creatures perched on a branch, checking her out as much as she was doing the same to it. She smiled, and walked toward it, the creature looking rather like the baby Groot from the old 'Guardians of the Galaxy' movie. "Hi, there," she said in a soft voice, as though she were talking to a small child or a dog. "I have something for you," she added, as she knelt down and held out some wood lice for it take from her. While it decided whether to approach her, she set the snack down nearby, and started sketching the creature with a pencil in her sketchbook.

  Having already turned in his essay in the drop box of Professor Yates' office, all Liam had to do before beginning the day's lesson was take out his sketchbook and tools. Armed with these items, he set off to find himself a bowtruckle. He knew what they looked like and had seen them on his family's property before, but it had been a while since he had interacted with one.
Just as he was getting discouraged, a flicker of movement on the low branch of a tree caught his eye, and he moved closer. Sure enough, a small, bark-colored creature with beetle-like eyes was peering back at him. "Well, hello there, little one," he greeted kindly, leaving a comfortable distance between the two so as not to startle it. Offering a genuine smile, Liam looked down at the blank page of his notebook and began to sketch the outline of a small bowtruckle, glancing up every few seconds for reference.
After taking a majority of the class to add minute details and shading, nearly bringing the camouflaged being to life, Liam finally finished his drawing, satisfied with the outcome. "Well? What do you think?" He held the drawing up for the bowtruckle to assess, and while it was hard to read its emotions, the boy was sure that the creature looked pleased. Drawing wasn't a particular hobby of his, but he was quite natural at it. If nothing else, it served as a useful ability for documenting his findings. |

Hannah made sure she was present for class relatively early, as she enjoyed being outside, away from the castle, at least for a little bit. She caught sight of her professor putting her cigarette out, but chose not to say anything about it. It was odd, she thought, that one whom did what Professor Yates did would smoke, as the scent would make her obvious to any creatures in the area.
Today's lecture was on Pixies, creatures she'd heard plenty of stories about. Their capacity for mischief and mayhem was legendary, and Hannah was really hoping they wouldn't be called upon to interact with them, though judging by what the professor was saying they might be doing just that soon. "I have a question, Professor. What's their favourite food, and what's the best way to placate them?"

Tesni had to say, she had really gotten a hang of this whole "teaching" thing. A lot more than she originally thought. She had been so sure she would've been ran from the castle her third day from the ineptitude of the students. Thankfully there were a few in each year to keep her from slaughtering the lot so she hoped that the trend continued. Just like last year, the professor had decided to get a head start the rest of the week and decided she would get to the Forest an hour before her class began. Barely glancing at her watch she headed into the forest to speed up her waiting time. When it was time for class to start she parted from the forest casting a scourgify here or there for any dirt that might have stuck to her clothing while using her fingers to comb out any spiders or leaves that might've gotten caught in the curly mane she called hair. As she was tying it up she spotted the tell-tale signs of students walking out to her and straightened up as to present a strong front. If she didn't these little prepubescent wankers would walk all over her. After a while when she was sure everyone that was supposed to be there was present she gave an internal sigh and decided that the time had come, the Walrus said.
"Good afternoon all, I am your instructor for this course and my name is Professor Yates. Welcome to Care of Magical Creatures, a class in which you will learn how to properly identify, interact, and possibly care for the magical creatures that surround us all. Before we start all the fun I have to lay down some quick ground rules: don't be late, always bring your materials, absolutely no fighting of any kind, and the biggest most important rule in my book, don't disrespect or knowingly injure the animals. If I find that you have, I will send you out of here in a fertilizer bag for Professor Hill. Any objections? Good." she concluded not waiting to see if there even were any. She hoped these students weren't that stupid. "Since it's the first lesson, I'll first have you introduce yourselves then I'll give a short lecture on one of the creatures you'll be seeing next week. I would like to keep it short and brief so we can go about our day if you will, just your name and your house." Tesni stated waiting for the brave soul. She had detested introductions back when she was in school and she was sure she'd hate them more if she had to actually force them from students and listen to them herself.

Kimberly hurried to her Care of Magical Creatures class, jogging through the forest along the path laid out for her. Her bag jingled with each step, surely frightening off any nearby animals. Upon arrival at the spot where her class was to meet, she stepped into line with the others as if nothing was wrong, still breathing a bit deeply. After she had caught her breath, she looked over to the student she happened to be standing next to. It was Raymond, who seemed rather tranquil. The brunette couldn't remember a time when se had seen the Slytherin boy so peaceful. When it was her turn to introduce herself, Kim stepped forward. "Kimberly Umber, Gryffindor house, but you can call me Kim if you prefer," she said, grinning before stepping back into line with the other students. She couldn't wait to meet the magical creatures they were going to study! Hopefully they liked her well enough.
Sometimes I have dreams. I picture myself flying above the clouds, high in the sky.
Conquering the world with my magic piano, never being scared, but then I realize,
I'm supergirl and I'm here to save the world, and I wanna know who's gonna save me?
I'm supergirl and I'm here to save the world, and I wanna know why I feel so alone?
