Care of the Magical Creatures

Good day, class. I am proud of you all making it here despite cold weather. [Uro himself didn't mind the cold, but he knew a lot of people who didn't enjoy being out when it was freezing. There weren't even that many Magical Creatures who liked to be in the snow either.]

Today, we have a practical lesson. Everyone, please follow me. Be aware that some of these creatures might be a little on the edge due to cold... so please be careful around them.

[3rd years will meet Salamanders, 4th years have Unicorns (an adult and its foal), 5th years have Bowtruckles, and the 6th and 7th years get to all try flying a Hippogriff (as they did on their 3rd year, this is a small test to see if you still remember how to handle them).]

[Between classes and after school was over, Uro mostly kept to himself. He wasn't such a fan of socializing with his colleagues and usually never spent time in the teacher's lounge if it wasn't necessary. He preferred to spent time observing the students and learning what kind of people they had here - maybe even if they would be useful for some mischief, one day.]

[ Practical? So dealing with the actual creatures for the first time in a while. If it's not the lesson itself, the cold will manage to keep Adela awake enough to be engaged, even if she's shivering a little beneath her robes and clothing. At least this time she has her gloves and a house scarf, and it feels like it makes a world of difference.

Still, she can't help being intrigued by the lesson, struggling to keep up while her legs sank into the snow. She doesn't fall too far behind but she does stop when she catches the white gleam, her breath catching in her throat. She'd seen pictures when she'd started taking the course the previous year, but... ]

Is that...?

[ She can't finish, too stunned by how beautiful it -- they look. There are two! It almost takes her right back to being a little kid, when she pretended they were real but... They are real and she didn't think she'd get to see one but there they are! They're dazzling, almost blinding, and yet she can't look away. ]

We're... [ Hard swallow to try and get her composure back. ] We're working with Unicorns...?

[Hikaru loves care of magical creatures because it's the one class she doesn't have to think about. She's able to form bonds with animals without much effort and she's yet to find an animal that she dislikes.]

Their so cute!

[She walks slowly up to the Salamander making sure that she doesn't startle them.]

Where are they from?

I didn't know teachers enjoyed people watching too.

[Seth's voice is soft as he steps up next to the teacher. He doesn't have any classes for the rest of the afternoon and he's decided to watch the other students as they go about their day.]

[Yogi was standing with his other classmates in the snow, wearing his green parka and fluffy scarf, wearing an excited smile on his face. They were gonna do Hippogriffs today! So cool! Yogi loves all kinds of animals and while his obvious preference is in cute and fluffy, he likes the more cools ones as well. He firmly believes there's no such a thing as a dangerous animal, you just had to know how to hndle them. Though he's a little nervous at the meeting with a Hippogriff.

He raises his hand, having a question.]

Professor? What's our task?

[Sano is returning from his afternoon class with the first years, with just enough time to get a bit into his stomach, along with a cup of coffee and the rest of the Daily Prophet, before heading to the Quidditch Pitch for training, when he sees the Magical Care Professor standing in the hall. That man is standing completely still, gaze focused forward, but not appearing to look at anything particular. He just watches.

It's strangely unnerving.

It's not that Sano doesn't get the point of watching people and things, hhe does it a lot as well, only more subtly. And there's just something about Uro that made you cautious. Sano continues on his track, approaching the man with brisk, confident steps.]

Up to no good?

[He teases with a grin.]

[Daphne had been focused he checking the work of the other students more than focusing on talking to others. It was something she was use to after all doing what she use to do before she found herself here. However as she moved the papers so that they were firmly in her arms, she had been very close to bumping into the other.]

I am so sorry. I guess I shouldn't focus on work in such a busy area.

[A Hippogriff, last time Makoto handle one of those it wasn't exactly something that ended well. But he hoped this time would be different. Sure it wasn't his talent, but it didn't mean he wasn't going to try and do well in it.]

I'll be careful, but I assume you want to to handle them, right?
