You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby, oh.
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated than loved, loved, loved for what you're not

»Tesni, as per usual, spent her time before class in the Forest gathering herbs for a more casual use than just cooking. 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 pubescent 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 morning all, and congratulations on passing your OWL's. As you are all now NEWT students I don't have to moddy-coddle you." The Welsh woman gave her customary shark-like grin at her words. "Today we will be learning about Merpeople, a class XXXX beast. And yes, their classification is very important. They had the chance to be called 'being' but refused because they couldn't stand being in the same category as Hags and Vampires. Merpeople are sentient beasts that live underwater, and are found all over the world. Their customs and habits are mysterious and unless you've gained the explicit trust of one they will stay this way. They, reportedly, can breathe above the waves for a time, but it is unclear if they can ever truly leave their habitat. Merpeople are creatures resembling half-human, half-fish hybrids, though they are most certainly not half-breeds. Like humans, merpeople come in a variety of appearances, though colours uncommon in humans appear to be widespread in merpeople. For instance, the majority of the Black Lake Merpeople colony have green hair, yellow eyes, and grey skin, all traits that would be very uncommon, if not impossible, for a human to naturally possess. Merpeople also seem to be taller than humans, with seven feet appearing to not be an unusual height, at least for a selkie. Merpeople are divided up into various sub-species or races, depending on where they live. The earliest merpeople lived in Greece, and were known as sirens. In modern times, those merpeople living in warmer waters take on a more beautiful appearance, while those in colder waters, such as the selkies of Scotland and the Merrows of Ireland, are less attractive.
Their exact level of intelligence as compared to humans is unknown, however, they possess many traits beyond those of mere animals. Merpeople have a developed language, Mermish, and have even created music, which they are known, as a whole, to be fond of. On land their singing sounds like a cross between a piercing shriek and a banshee wail while underwater it is one of the most beautiful sounds known. Probably why one such group is known as a siren since they can only be heard underwater while they drown the poor seamen. Anyway. evidence that the Merpeople have a thriving culture is that they live in highly organised communities, some containing elaborate dwellings made of stone, and have been known to domesticate creatures such as the Grindylow, Hippocampus, and Lobalug, the latter being used as makeshift weaponry. Other signs of their intelligence include jewelry and weapon making, production of art (both paintings and statues), and an ability to understand basic communication via gestures.
The merpeople date back to ancient Greece, where they were first known as sirens. By the modern era, however, merpeople have spread worldwide. The history of merpeople's relations with wizardkind, or at least the wizarding British government, are somewhat rocky. Chief Elfrida Clagg refused to accept merpeople as beings under her definition of the term as those who could "speak the human tongue", with Mermish not being considered adequate as it could not be understood above water. This decision upset both the merpeople and their allies the centaurs. Though they were allowed being status under Minister Grogan Stump revised 1811 definition of the term, they would eventually request to be treated as beasts once more, objecting to the fact that such Dark creatures as hags and vampires also claimed that status. Despite being considered beasts at the time, a delegation of merpeople was persuaded to attend the 1692 summit of the International Confederation of Wizards, where they would help decide what to do on the matter of hiding the existence of various magical creatures from Muggle comprehension.
As you may or may not know, there is a colony of merpeople that currently resides in the Black Lake. Next week we will meet by the lake so you may interact with the few who have volunteered. For your homework, I want two and a half feet on merpeople. Include in it what you've learned today as well additional information from your text and any text in the magical creature of the library. You may drop it off to my box in the office or personally at our next meeting. If there are no questions, class is dismissed." Tesni told them with a nod wondering if there was any way Jason would let her into his sacred greenhouse for a smoke and a drink.«

Monika hurried down to the forest for Care of Magical Creatures class. She had just finished up in Wandless and was ready for her last class of the day. She knew how Professor Yates ran her classes at this point, already prepared for a serious note-taking lecture. As her professor spoke about merpeople, Monika wrote down all the key points, knowing she would have time to go back over them when she did her reading for her assignment later. After she was finished with her notes, she packed them away in her bag and headed back up towards the castle, ready to get her weekend started. Well, she still had Astronomy tomorrow night, but otherwise, she was free until Monday.

»Tesni was waiting for her students this time with mild interest. She thought her students might enjoy this lecture even if they wouldn't enjoy the note-taking. "Good afternoon kiddies, today we'll be learning about a very magical species of creature: the phoenix. The phoenix is a large swan-sized scarlet bird with red and gold plumage, along with a golden beak and talons, black eyes, and a tail as long as a peacock's. Its scarlet feathers glow faintly in darkness, while its golden tail feathers are hot to the touch.
Phoenixes will usually nest on mountain peaks and are gentle herbivores that are not known for fighting. As phoenixes approach their Burning Day they resemble a half-plucked turkey. Their eyes become dull, their feathers start to fall out, and it begins to make gagging noises. Then the bird suddenly bursts into flames only to rise from the ashes shortly after. In a number of days, they grow back to full size. Thanks to this ability, phoenixes live to an immense age.
The most startling of the phoenix's abilities is its ability to regenerate itself. It periodically bursts into flames when its body becomes old, and rises from the ashes as a newborn chick. This event is called Burning Day, and gives these birds a great life span, as well as the ability to take the full force of a Killing Curse and still be reborn. Phoenixes are immune to the gaze of a basilisk, which would normally kill anyone who has direct eye to eye contact, or petrify through indirect eye contact, such as seeing a glimpse of the massive serpent or its reflection.
The phoenix can also disappear and reappear at will in bursts of flames and take whoever is holding them along, similar to Apparition (though like house-elf magic, they cannot be restricted like wizards are), and boasts magical tears and song. Their tears have potent healing capabilities; for instance, phoenix tears are the only known antidote to basilisk venom. They're also able to bring a person back even from the brink of death, while the phoenix song will increase the courage of the good and strike fear into the hearts of the evil. Phoenixes are capable of lifting a great weight with their tails, such as being able to effortlessly fly up a distance with four people holding on to its tail. They can also leave messages by bursting into flame to reappear elsewhere, leaving behind a single golden tail feather.
Phoenixes are very difficult to domesticate, as Newton Scamander says in his book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which I'm very sure you all have in class at this very moment,: 'The phoenix gains an XXXX rating not because it is aggressive, but because very few wizards have ever succeeded in domesticating it.' There are two known domesticated phoenixes, one Albus Dumbledore's pet phoenix Fawkes, and the other Sparky the team mascot for the New Zealand Quidditch team the Moutohora Macaws. Phoenixes that have been domesticated are extremely loyal to their owners, and would depart to find their own paths if their owners die, rather than finding a new master.
Well, that's enough to get your started right?" Tesni ended with one of her trademark sharp grins. "Homework, I want at the very least two and a half feet on the phoenix. Everything from what I've said already in class and from the fruition of your own research. Not too difficult right, yes? If there are no questions, class is dismissed." Tesni told them with a short shooing wave.«

»Tesni was waiting for her students this time with mild interest. She thought her students might enjoy this lecture even if they wouldn't enjoy the note-taking. "Good afternoon kiddies, today we'll be learning about a very magical species of creature: the phoenix. The phoenix is a large swan-sized scarlet bird with red and gold plumage, along with a golden beak and talons, black eyes, and a tail as long as a peacock's. Its scarlet feathers glow faintly in darkness, while its golden tail feathers are hot to the touch.
Phoenixes will usually nest on mountain peaks and are gentle herbivores that are not known for fighting. As phoenixes approach their Burning Day they resemble a half-plucked turkey. Their eyes become dull, their feathers start to fall out, and it begins to make gagging noises. Then the bird suddenly bursts into flames only to rise from the ashes shortly after. In a number of days, they grow back to full size. Thanks to this ability, phoenixes live to an immense age.
The most startling of the phoenix's abilities is its ability to regenerate itself. It periodically bursts into flames when its body becomes old, and rises from the ashes as a newborn chick. This event is called Burning Day, and gives these birds a great life span, as well as the ability to take the full force of a Killing Curse and still be reborn. Phoenixes are immune to the gaze of a basilisk, which would normally kill anyone who has direct eye to eye contact, or petrify through indirect eye contact, such as seeing a glimpse of the massive serpent or its reflection.
The phoenix can also disappear and reappear at will in bursts of flames and take whoever is holding them along, similar to Apparition (though like house-elf magic, they cannot be restricted like wizards are), and boasts magical tears and song. Their tears have potent healing capabilities; for instance, phoenix tears are the only known antidote to basilisk venom. They're also able to bring a person back even from the brink of death, while the phoenix song will increase the courage of the good and strike fear into the hearts of the evil. Phoenixes are capable of lifting a great weight with their tails, such as being able to effortlessly fly up a distance with four people holding on to its tail. They can also leave messages by bursting into flame to reappear elsewhere, leaving behind a single golden tail feather.
Phoenixes are very difficult to domesticate, as Newton Scamander says in his book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which I'm very sure you all have in class at this very moment,: 'The phoenix gains an XXXX rating not because it is aggressive, but because very few wizards have ever succeeded in domesticating it.' There are two known domesticated phoenixes, one Albus Dumbledore's pet phoenix Fawkes, and the other Sparky the team mascot for the New Zealand Quidditch team the Moutohora Macaws. Phoenixes that have been domesticated are extremely loyal to their owners, and would depart to find their own paths if their owners die, rather than finding a new master.
Well, that's enough to get your started right?" Tesni ended with one of her trademark sharp grins. "Homework, I want at the very least two and a half feet on the phoenix. Everything from what I've said already in class and from the fruition of your own research. Not too difficult right, yes? If there are no questions, class is dismissed." Tesni told them with a short shooing wave.«

»Tesni, as per usual, spent her time before class in the Forest gathering herbs for a more casual use than just cooking. 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 pubescent 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 morning all, and congratulations on passing your OWL's and as you are all now NEWT students I don't have to moddy-coddle you." The Welsh woman gave her customary shark-like grin at her words before the flew back into her blank facade. "Today we will be learning about Merpeople, a class XXXX beast. And yes, their classification is very important. They had the chance to be called 'being' but refused because they couldn't stand being in the same category as Hags and Vampires. Merpeople are sentient beasts that live underwater, and are found all over the world. Their customs and habits are mysterious and unless you've gained the explicit trust of one they will stay this way. They, reportedly, can breathe above the waves for a time, but it is unclear if they can ever truly leave their habitat. Merpeople are creatures resembling half-human, half-fish hybrids, though they are most certainly not half-breeds. Like humans, merpeople come in a variety of appearances, though colours uncommon in humans appear to be widespread in merpeople. For instance, the majority of the Black Lake Merpeople colony have green hair, yellow eyes, and grey skin, all traits that would be very uncommon, if not impossible, for a human to naturally possess. Merpeople also seem to be taller than humans, with seven feet appearing to not be an unusual height, at least for a selkie. Merpeople are divided up into various sub-species or races, depending on where they live. The earliest merpeople lived in Greece, and were known as sirens. In modern times, those merpeople living in warmer waters take on a more beautiful appearance, while those in colder waters, such as the selkies of Scotland and the Merrows of Ireland, are less attractive.
Their exact level of intelligence as compared to humans is unknown, however, they possess many traits beyond those of mere animals. Merpeople have a developed language, Mermish, and have even created music, which they are known, as a whole, to be fond of. On land their singing sounds like a cross between a piercing shriek and a banshee wail while underwater it is one of the most beautiful sounds known. Probably why one such group is known as a siren since they can only be heard underwater while they drown the poor seamen. Anyway. evidence that the Merpeople have a thriving culture is that they live in highly organised communities, some containing elaborate dwellings made of stone, and have been known to domesticate creatures such as the Grindylow, Hippocampus, and Lobalug, the latter being used as makeshift weaponry. Other signs of their intelligence include jewelry and weapon making, production of art (both paintings and statues), and an ability to understand basic communication via gestures.
The merpeople date back to ancient Greece, where they were first known as sirens. By the modern era, however, merpeople have spread worldwide. The history of merpeople's relations with wizardkind, or at least the wizarding British government, are somewhat rocky. Chief Elfrida Clagg refused to accept merpeople as beings under her definition of the term as those who could "speak the human tongue", with Mermish not being considered adequate as it could not be understood above water. This decision upset both the merpeople and their allies the centaurs. Though they were allowed being status under Minister Grogan Stump revised 1811 definition of the term, they would eventually request to be treated as beasts once more, objecting to the fact that such Dark creatures as hags and vampires also claimed that status. Despite being considered beasts at the time, a delegation of merpeople was persuaded to attend the 1692 summit of the International Confederation of Wizards, where they would help decide what to do on the matter of hiding the existence of various magical creatures from Muggle comprehension.
As you may or may not know, there is a colony of merpeople that currently resides in the Black Lake. Next week we will meet by the lake so you may interact with the few who have volunteered. For your homework, I want two and a half feet on merpeople. Include in it what you've learned today as well additional information from your text and any text in the magical creature of the library. You may drop it off to my box in the office or personally at our next meeting. If there are no questions, class is dismissed." Tesni told them with a nod wondering if there was any way Fanchon would let her chill in her classroom for a bit until her next class. Preferably with her company.«

»Tesni walked out early that day to the Black Lake to make sure the merpeople had gotten her last message and knew that this was the day. She didn't speak fluent mermish, she doubted anyone that didn't live underwater and have a fish tail did, but she knew enough to get that yes, they'd gotten her message, and that she looked positively delicious that day. She wasn't sure if that was a joke seeing as they don't actually eat humans but she treated it as one and merely responded to their own sharp smiles with a sharper grin of her own. She waited patiently at the edge of the lake skipping stones and playing keep away with the Giant Squid. Of course, the squid kept winning. The fun and games came to an end unfortunately as she spotted her students coming over and gave the squid an "until next time" shiny pebble.
"Afternoon kiddies. Those that haven't already please place their homework underneath that tree over there and we'll get started. Today, as you can probably guess, is our merpeople interaction. We have a few that have volunteered to interact with you students, so treat them with respect. While they are technically classified as 'beasts' they are of high intelligence and even higher propensity for violence if they think they've been wronged. Do not attempt to go into the water with them, standing at the water's edge is fine but if you go too close you may be considered intruding. You may talk to them and if you're lucky they will respond back, though not in English. If you are truly lucky and respectful, they might give you a token, nothing extravagant possibly something like a shiny bauble. If there are no questions you may begin." No sooner had the words left Tesni's mouth did heads start popping from beneath the water and come swimming as close to the students as they could without leaving the water.«

Rhett Fang Ye
<6th year>
☯
Rhett enjoyed Care of Magical Creatures quite a bit as it was a rewarding course he felt and would be immensely useful if he ever got his tree farm. He waved to Professor Yates happily and took out his parchment, quill, and a clipboard to take notes. Today was merepeople, which Rhett always found interesting. They were a proud people, intelligent, and wise from all accounts Rhett had heard. In many ways, Rhett was reminded of a less friendly wood nymph when he read or heard about him. He always wondered though if they were beasts would that mean he is half beast too considering he was part wood nymph. Would the same fall for his friend Ferdie? Did that make them less than human in the eyes of the law? Rhett tried to ignore his nagging questions or his irritation that people used half-breeds as such an interchangeable classification. For example, while Rhett considered himself a half-ling, many would call him a half-breed because of his Mum.
His notes were getting quite lengthy and Rhett was eager to walk off some of his energy, when Professor Yates brought up something that gave him renewed vigor for the rest of the class. Next week they were going to meet merpeople! Rhett raised his hand and quickly asked, "Professor Yates, if we are meeting merpeople next week is there any books or anything I can study so I can learn a bit Mermish before the meeting. It seems like the polite thing to do to learn a bit more about their culture and language before meeting them." While, Rhett wasn't as much for studying as he should be, if he found a practical reason to study or something that peaked his interest he was happy to buckle down with a book to study. Learning a bit of Mermish to talk to a merperson sounded fascinating to Rhett. If he made the effort maybe they would be more willing to share more about themselves.
