7. Care of Magical Creatures

Care of Magical Creatures was fun, for the most part anyway, as long as they weren’t dealing with any scary creatures, like say Hippogriffs, but bowtruckles were fun and good at picking locks if you could convince one to be your friend. Today’s lesson happened to be on firecrabs, and Blake wanted nothing to do with it. He stood at the back of the class trying his hardest to blend in with the grass and rocks around him, avoiding all eye contact with the creature before him. Didn’t seem to work though, one turned and ‘blew’ fire right at him.
