| | |  Lesson #1
The Headmaster entered his classroom and made his way to the front of the class. "I apologize for my delay students...I've been somewhat...occupied."
He gave a heavy sigh thinking about what had just happened in his office and the note he left for the Staff to read in the Staff room. "Now...I would like to begin as soon as possible. We have lots to cover."
He settled down at his desk and shuffled a few stacks of parchment around before turning to to board and passing his wand in front of it. Blackboard "Over the summer holidays I was fortunate enough to catch wind of a very amazing discovery, made by Muggles no less. It seems that on one of their deep sea explorations off the coast of Sri Lanka, in the Bay of Bengal, uncovered several magical creatures. I, of course, set off immediately to intercept their findings and retrieve them before the Muggle scientists could uncover their true nature. Unfortunatly, I was too late and none of the specimens survived. I was able to place a few memory charms on some of unsuspecting scientists and take their findings.
Quite frankly, I am amazed that they were able to aquire this first specimen," he said pointing at the board. "Now, does anyone know what this creature is?" | |

::Erica looked at the creature on the board with absolutely no idea as to what it was. Instead, she pulled out her parchment and a quill and hurriedly started sketching it as best as she could.::

Lee took a seat in the front as the professor started the lesson. He took out parchment, wuills and ink, and looked carefully at the board. Like usual Lee was useless in these classes due to his lack of knowledge in the wizardring world. He looked through his textbook for ideas.

Francis shrugs, and takes a guess. "Chimaera?... But it can be.. it's a mythological creature, is it not?"

Sat in the very back of the class, Nadia raised her hand with not that much entusiasm.
"I want to say Sea Serpent, or Lobalug"

Nadia took the note, read it and stuffed it in her pocket with the same tired expression. This was not the time, so she should speak with her later, she decided rubbing her temples. For now, she needed to pay attention to the professor and clear her mind.

Jaren's eyes were on the blackboard, though he made no attempt to answer the question, as several answers were already up in the air. His expression was both serious and neutral.

*Serena raised her hand*
Is it a Chimaera?
Described as a long-nosed chimaera, Harriotta raleighana, whose kind can reach five feet in length. Its stiletto-like nose reminded one of "the nose contour of a supersonic jet aircraft." Others have dubbed it "rattail," for obvious reasons. In South Africa, it is known as the "ghost shark," though it is only distantly related to sharks. A touch of the venomous spine on the first dorsal fin can kill a person, though such a fate is unlikely given the 8,000-foot depths at which this creature lives.

Professor Hendrik, is that a side view of this creature? It does seem to want to resemble a muggle swordfish. | |

"I would have to agree with Serena," Anelreas said, raising her hand just slightly. "I believe it's a chimeara." From the description Serena gave, along with the picture on the board, Anelreas was almost positive that the creature was a chimeara.

Mithos didn't know much about Magical Creature so he just sat there watching the class. He didn't even know what a Chimaera is... He sat watching the wise way in what the Headmaster was speaking.

"Hmm...It looks like some sort of squid to me..."
Evy pondered for a moment.
"I'm sure it's a chimaera, their body isn't usually exactly that way."
