| | |  CoMC 1: Special Classifications
Today’s lesson taking place inside, you walk into a large stone classroom with high windows. The room is bright and airy and filled with sounds and smells. The side walls are lined with cages of all shapes and sizes, and up the middle of the room is two long rows of wooden desks with very comfy chairs. At the head of the classroom is a large mahogany desk; behind it is a large tank covered with a sheet to hide it’s content.
Sounds of various animals fill the room and give it a never-ending theme song. As you walk in, the first thing you notice is the beautiful song of a magnificent Phoenix that is sitting on the professor’s desk. Calming you and making you feel less nervous, you walk confidently to find a seat.
Hello! Welcome to Care of Magical Creatures. Please make yourself comfortable as you wait for the rest of the students to arrive. You may look around the room a bit if you wish. | |

Jordana noticed that there was a Slytherin boy sitting not to far from her. He looked almost bored with what they were talking about, she quickly looked away and focused on what was important, listening to the Professor.

Julia glances around the classroom and before she raises her hand, she hears others give the answer she was going to say. She sighs quietly and looks at one of her two favorite professors. She blinks and giggles, then tries to send Dainsie mental images of turkeys out of boredom. After a moment or two, she copies down a few notes in her blue notebook and continues to giggle quietly.

So... what does a Centaur look like? | |

Whende raised her hand a little slower this time, after all, she'd been wrong last time. "They have the body of a man and the legs of a horse."

Lua shrugged then raised her hand and answered " Has a human head and the body of a horse. Its colour varies among several"

Christy raised her hand "The Centaur has a human head, torso, and arms joined to a horse's body which may be any of several colours" She listened to everybody's answers and wrote some. She was really amazed by the fact that the centaurs had classified themselves as Beasts.

So... what does a Centaur look like? "But Professor" Jacques spoke up suddenly. "If the centaurs are so eager to be respected for their intelligence, and think themselves better than humans in some respects, why would they want to be classified with 'lower' beasts?"

Although Whende wasn't in her house, Jordana was happy that she was first to answer the question. She looked over at her and gave her a thumbs up.

Whende glanced around the room and noticed Jordana giving her a thumbs up. She quickly returned the signal and returned her gaze to the front of the class.

McKenzie raised her hand and said, "Professor, Centaurs are a race part human and part horse, with a horse's body, including all four legs, and a human head and torso with arms. The human portion is joined at the waist to the horse's shoulders where the head and neck would be." She continued taking notes.

Oh excellent! 2 points! I think it's more the fact that they feel they don't need to prove themselves to wizards. They don't need to be told how wise and intelligent they are, they already have that belief in themselves and feel they don't need wizards approval. But that's just me really. Does anyone have any thoughts? | |

Does anyone have any thoughts? "So it's like they don't care how the Wizards classify them, because they don't obey wizarding laws anyway. I suppose i always thought they would object to being classified in the first place, but that would mean that they would have to care what wizards thought of them, and they don't"

Julia looks at Jacques and rolls her eyes as he gets points for asking a question. She smirks as the professor speaks. Any thoughts? Ohh yes. I have this thought that you should give more points to Ravenclaw, she says mentally, wishing she could really say it to Dainsie, but knows that wouldn't go too well and she would just take off points. So, like the 'good' child she is, she stays quiet, waiting for them to go on.

Taylor raised his hand..."Since they are of higher intelligence than humans, and most people know it, they don't want/need to prove anything to anybody. They would rather be left alone. Sorta like what you said professor."

Rose raised her hand. "I think it is a way to distinguish themselves from wizards. To be classified with beasts is to be completely removed from the traditional wizarding world."

Serilda raised her hand and said, "They're more human than alot of people I know; that's why they probably know why they are wiser than many other humans. Also, they can predict alot of things just by knowing the world around them."

Jordana raised her hand and asked, "Professor, I was just wondering, is there any record or incident where a Centaur has killeda a muggle or wizard? Whether it did is on purpose or if it was just trying to protect itself."
