| | |  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. | |

That's exactly right, more the mystical side of magic. A point to both Gryffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw.
Now with Merpeople, we found ourselves in the same situation. They chose to, rather than conforming to wizarding laws, remain Beasts. But Merpeople are also intelligent and have very advanced societies.
Can they be found all over the world, or just in a specific place? |

Lua raised her hand and answered "They are found, in lakes, and see's. And they form colonies together, so yea they will be grouped together, but they can be found in diferrent sees and lake depending on their colonies".

Ok, so where were we... Merpeople, right!
That's correct, they can be found all over the world in many different environments. Does the climate have any effect on them? | |

Kay raised her hand. "I would have to say 'yes' because in warmer waters you can find sirens and the beautiful mermaids that Muggles are familiar with. However in the colder waters, you find the less beautiful selkies. Despite these physical differences based on the temperature of the water, all share the love of music."

Sebastian raised his hand. "Climate could have effects on merpeople, but the effect must be sensed underwater."
He doubted it correct, but you never knew. | |

lua raised her hand and answered "Climate does effect merpeople, they like living in warmer environment under the sea and oxygen-rich atmosphere when they pull their head out of the ocean"

Julia eyes Kay, who had been the first to answer. Kay was quite smart, in her opinion, no matter how much Julia wished she was extremely stupid. She writes down a few notes really quickly and bites on her lower lip, pondering deeply.

Their habits and customs are very much a mystery to us too, though some wizards have managed to master the language to gather what information we do know.
We know that they live in colonies varying in size that are often very advanced with many buildings. All Merpeople do have one thing in coomon though, what is it? | |

Serilda jotted down in her book they're all ugly before jotting down the correct answer next to it.
