Lesson Two - Fourth Years

by **Natasha Willow** Thu Jun 28, 2012 12:00 pm

Natasha knew the fourth years wouldn't be as entertained this lesson, since there would be no live creatures to see. She didn't like traditional desks. They always seemed too confining to her, so she had conjured up a few benches in a semi-circle.

With a few last minute spells, she hung up some large posters that showed different wolves. They looked similar, but there were slight differences.

Waiting for the students to arrive, she could feel the anticipation growing.

Care of Magical Creatures was a class he always was happy to go to. You got to get outside, see different animals, and learn about them. What was not to like about this class? Humphrey loved getting outside for class, it made him feel happier, more eager to learn. Sunshine really did work wonders.

"Hello Professor Willow, how are you?" Humphrey asked, walking up to her. Being the first to arrive, he picked a seat on a bench. There were wolf posters hanging up. Immediately, he noticed that they were similar, but each was slightly different. Wondering what the lesson was on, he cleared his mind, and focused his thoughts.

Airen walked casually to his CoMC class. They didn't really do much in the class, but it was quite fascinating to see all the magical creatures that lived in the wizarding world. He took a seat on one of the benches and got ready to learn.

He noticed the different posters of the wolves and thought that the lesson was something in regard to species, but he wasn't the teacher. It could be anything.

Victoria walked down to class taking care not to bump her hand around too much. It was healing quite fast for a human, but not as fast as a fully grown vampire. She was still growing into these things.

Coming into the clearing, she was happy to see benches. It meant she didn't need to do too much physically, which she welcomed. Sitting near the other Gryffindors, she smiled at them.

Natasha smiled at Mr. Humphrey. He always seemed in a cheery mood. She clapped her hands together, signalling that the lesson was going to start.

"So for this lesson there will be no live creatures to observe. This is because they are too dangerous in their true form to have join us. Today, we are talking about werewolves."

She moved to stand in between the two pictures. "I know all of you have heard of them, some may have even met them in their human form. But my reasoning for talking about them is so that you know the facts about them, and are able to identify them on site."

Looking at them all, she figured it would be good to know what they knew about them already. That way she could focus on what they didn't know, or dispel any misconceptions. "What can you all tell me about them? About their looks. The function of their transformation. Anything."

Yes, werewolves, this was something he knew a lot about. Having transformed himself, and seen two other werewolves,. Humphrey knew a bit about them. "When a werewolf is transformed they don't recognize who anybody is. For example, if they saw their best friend, they wouldn't know them. May even attack somebody they know, because of that. The only way available to help is the Wolfsbane Potion, which allows a werewolf to keep its human mind after transformation." Humphrey said, speaking up so everybody could hear him.

Victoria was surprised to hear that the Wolfsbane potion could do that. She'd only read up a little bit on werewolves since finding out Humphrey was one, but hadn't read that part.

She raised her hand. "I read that their eyes look more human than regular wolves. And that their tails are different."
