Heh. Maya thought everyone drank milk. Or knew how to pronounce it anyways. Hehehe. "Yes indeed. Milk is one of the most important things cows give us. Good answer."

Why did they have to take an egg? She shrugged and got up to take an egg. She sat down on her log seat again with the egg carefully in her hands. She'd never really held one before, except when she'd painted one with her cousin at easter. As long as she didn't drop it!

Emily quicked raised her hand, being careful not to drop her egg.
"A cow gives milk, for drinking and cereal!" Yeah, that was what she used milk for anyway. She nodded and turned her egg in her hands. DO NOT DROP IT!

What, did Maya stutter? Hehe.

"Indeed it does give milk. Good." Maya nodded at the girl.

"Meat. Yes..." She'd go bananas if anyone wanted to take Nelson from her. "Many a delicacies to eat. Good."

Well, she already knew what a chicken was so it didn't really bother her. ~~Glaring at Destiny~~ Looking at the chicken Destiny was holding, she wondered if it could bite like dinosaur. Maybe attack Destiny. Rawrr! That would be awesome.

Arya reluctantly moved to retrieve an egg before going back to her bunnies. Why did they need an egg? She didn't know. Hmm.

"You can ride a cow." She carefully turned the egg in her hands, watching it with interest. "Not Nelson though, he's to small and cute to ride."

"Yes that is true. Good answer. In some countries that is as good as having a horse. A means of transportation." Nod.

He raised his hand. "People have already said that cows give milk, but that milk can further be turned into other stuff like...cheese!" he explained. Cheese was DELICIOUS. It made so many other foods a lot better. Like broccoli. Broccoli was SO much better when covered in melted cheese.

"Very good. Not only is the milk valuable as it is, you can 'transform' it into something more." And she liked her cheese on her enchiladas... Mmmmm.

She thought about what she knew about cows, "Cows are often used as draft animals, pulling plows and other implements like them."

"Yes, good good. Farmers might use the creatures to get their...farming underway."

Nika walked over to the eggs with the bunny still in her arms. She reached over and picked one up. "Look fluffers, you're going to have a new friend!" Nika kept the egg in her cupped hand. "Well it could be a cool subject for a painter to paint! Does that count as a resource?"

Hmmm. "You mean a painter could paint a cow? No, that wasn't exactly what I meant by resource. But sure, cows are nice to paint."

Oh, but yes, the chicken with Chicken!girl. Usual stuff. Until. Blink, blink, blink. Why were they going to need the egg for? And why do they had to keep it safe? "Why the egg?" he asked, while taking the little egg and returning to his seat. See, he asked, but he did it anyway. We're listening to what you say, Saylen.

Poor Nelson, the cow, seemed to be in the need of running away from the woman, or that's what things look to Treyen. He smirked, and raised his hand, "Leather, Professor."

"Leather, yes, very good. Probably every one of you might have worn something made out of the skin of a cow. Be it shoes or a jacket or gloves. Et cetera." With that Maya fed Nelson another slice of apple. HEh.

She eyed Kurumi Hollingberry, wishing the girl would get up for a split second, so Sierra could steal her log. It looked nice and straight, loads better than the pitiful one Sierra had ended up with.

Secondly, this was yet another class about Muggles. Only this time, it was about Muggle animals rather than Muggle humans. Wasn't this supposed to be Care of Magical Creatures?! The only thing she found half-amusing was Patroclus Hudson's answer about the chicken. Or hen. Or rooster. What it was. She bit her bottom lip and laughed a little just before reaching forward and taking an egg out of the wicker basket.

She turned to the 'marvelous creature' the professor was pointing out, expecting to at least see a clabbert or something. But no--it was a cow. Big deal. She would have preferred a flobberworm at this point. She eyed her brother out of the corner of her eye. What was he so excited about cheese for?! Oh, ...right. He was a Hufflepuff. That just explained everything. Raising her hand, she said, "Cows produce natural fertilizer," she said. It was true. You let one of those things poop in an area, and the grass would be greener than a Christmas tree.

"Very good. Fertilizer makes for good pasture. And I'm sure farmers, not only use cows for plowing, but use their poo to help their fruits of labour grow well." Heh.

She then turned her attention back to the professor and figured it was about time that she took a seat, but she wasn't letting go of her bunny. "Um, Professor," Kurumi said slowly raising her hand. "I've read that cow urine is exceptionally beneficial. It is an excellent germicide and is capable of killing may different kids of germs. It may even be able to kill all diseases that are caused by germs."

Blink.

"Oh... yes... Some people seem to believe it is so." Maybe they should experiment with that? "Interesting thought, thankyou for sharing that."

Oh....no she hadn't she was just saying that they were a common ancestor of the chicken.

And now they were onto cows, "You can use their dung for not just Fertilizer like Sierra said, but also a fuel!" Patroclus supplied with his boundless knowledge, "It can be used to light fires, as its chemical content ensures a long burn!"

It would probably reak but!

"Yes, very good, fuel. Alot of families use this as fuel." Nod nod. They could figure out which families where used the poo. Hehe.

Which, in Destiny's opinion, would be AWESOME!

But, she didn't have to wait for the Professor to tell her to let it go, the chicken was too strong and it finally made it's way out of her hands. Destiny watched the thing run away. Pfft, like she would want to pick it up again after that. "Chickens can run fast." As she just witnessed. "And they find worms."

Worms = resources. If you were a chicken.

Turning away from the runaway chicken, Destiny glared at Arya before turning back to the Professor when she mentioned the dinorawrs. So..the chicken and dinorawr could be related..which meant..she could be a dinorawr, too!? Merlin! This was turning out to be one of her favorite classes EVER!

She was learning so much about herself!

Jumping from her log, she skipped her way over to grab an egg, making sure not to step on any of the animals walking around. Skipping back to her seat, she turned her attention to the Nelson. Nelson the COW. Destiny thought the Professor should have come up with a more creative name than that, but who was she to judge. Meh. "Cows give people mad cow disease." she said, her hand high in the air.

Which, in Destiny's opinion, was a resource.

Meh. Maya had not told the girl she could release the chicken!

But...off it went. Yes, poor chicken. Better off away from that girl. Hehe.
"Yes, indeed they run fast." You should see them without their- No, nevermind. "Worms..." The Mexicana trailed off, "Yes, and if you're quick and get them before the chicken eats them, you can throw them into your garden and they'll be happy." Hmhmhm.

As for the disease...
"Not a resource, but there have been cases of the creatures getting, what they call, the Mad Cow disease, yes. Thankyou for remind us of that." Mhm.

And why did they have to take an egg? What were they going to do with it? Feed it to the cow? Speaking of the cow...it had a very strange name.

...

Evelyn didn't like cows.

Or chickens.

She had no idea about what resources they gave other then the fact that people ate them. And they smelled. "Well if you find yourself needing a friend...when in doubt, choose a cow!" Erm...not her though. She'd rather have humans as friends.

Ah, for sure, some of these kids were odd. "Yes...Cows are very friendly." Arent youuu Nelsonnn, yes you AREEEEE.

The only thing that was relatively normal was the students who had already taken their seats. When she walked in she saw Professor Saylen, "Morning ma'am. How are you?"

Then the lesson began and Selina saw a huge mess with Slytherin. Those were a lot of points.

Once that was done she collected her egg and drew her Attention to what Saylen was gesturing to.

...

"You are late, Miss Skylar." She had half a mind to take the egg from the girl. "Fourty-seven points from Gryffindor for the lateness." Heh.

Did you know that the cow is the only animal whose dung does NOT stink?" Just in case everyone wanted to know that. "And it acts as a mosquito repellent." That's rather resourceful in her opinion.

She put her hand down and felt a small tug on the end of her jeans. Looking down, Mia saw the black duck trying to eat her pants. She gave her leg a small shake hoping to deter it. "Knock it off Donald." She hissed at it and it in return hissed back at her. So she poked her tongue at it and drew her leg up higher and out of reach.

Ah. Maya nodded deeply and spoke with a finger in the air, "Thankyou for that. The smell you sense when handling cow fertilizer isn't actually the manure - it is the smell of fermentation and any other substance they mix together with the manure to make it more potent." Or was she mistaken? Bah. "Very good."

Why were they looking after an egg?
Odd... Emily justed hoped Professor Saylen didn't expect them to hatch it...

Emily tilted her head slightly- to get a better look at the calf... because having her on straight didn't work???...

Nelson was adorable!!! those gorgeous eyes! and his wet shiny nose!!!... or was it called a muzzle? ... meh same thing.

"Professor, they're a valuable food resource. Their milk can produce many different things... aside from milk, theres cheese, cream, yogurt... etc."

"That is true - from milk one can make many other things. Very good." Nod nod.

Samira glared daggers into the head of the person who just cost her house some valuable points. She hoped they would burn a hole in her head...

Sighing, Samira resovled to win the points back some way or another.

Honestly if you don't like the class at least try for the other Slytherins...

Following the instructions, Samira scooped down and held a chicken egg gently in her small hand. As she sat down, Samira looked at the animal-a calf-the professor was pointing to. Umm...

Samira raised her hand. "Meat?"

"Yes indeed, we get meat from cows. Good, good."

Cedric stared at the calf, contemplatively. He had developed this habit of using his spare time wisely, and some of his spare time had been used in the Animal Collective. He knew that calf. He liked animals, you know. They were just really gentle creatures that knew nothing of the harshness that is the world, just like him. Hehe. "We uh, consume their meat? And their milk. The cow pollutes the environment by the methane gas ~~(read: fart)~~ they release but for some countries, they process the gas and use it as a sort of fuel for their cars and stuffs."

Chicken can run fast? Ha. Of course they do. And they find worms? Hmm. Interesting. A smirk slyly worked its way up to the Hufflepuff's lips as a ingenious thought so suddenly yet expectedly struck his mind.

"So, Destiny, is that how you got rid of your tapeworms?" Hehe. "By feeding them to chickens."

"Mhm," nod nod, "Milk. And yes, good one, the cow's gases tend to have a bad impact on the enviroment. And as you said, some people find ways to use what is bad and turn it into something good."

"Mister Leone, shush." No talking about other people's worms.

"Cow's give milk! Milk is used in lots of foods and is generally nice by itself." K-Lee said proudly. She knew so much about cows, she should write a book about cows!

Hang on, did some first year just lose Slytherin 47 points! K-Lee was outraged! 47 points!!! That was almost as many points that she had earned the entire year all up! Pout.

"Milk does come from the cow, yes. And it is true, milk tends to be an ingredient in alot of foods. Good thinking."

"Well, Belties are normally Beef cows which are used as a source of meat both by muggles and wizards alike." Kyle spoke, as she did she felt something nudge her, and turning saw a little pig behind her. Bending down she petted it. Happy pig, he was cute and muddy. Heh.

She felt a little chicken peck her foot and leaning down gently, let it come over to her hand where she swiftly picked it up making sure to put her hands over the wings so as to make it impossible for them to be broken. Gently she lifted it.

"Professor, isn't it true that most chickens - well the female hens are fed ground oyster shells to strengthen their own eggs and to make sure the eggs don't break easily." She asked intrigued.

"Yes, everyone, no matter if they are magical or muggle or inbetween, like their meat. Good." Maya nodded and kept her eyes on the girl as she asked another question.

Errr. What. "Oh, yes, it is a source of calcium and nutrients for the chickens." Nod nod. Wherever did she hear that?

She raised her hand, and said, "Um, Professor? Cowhide is used for leather - to make clothes, shoes, bags and suchlike isn't it?" She wasn't one hundred percent sure on the processes, but she knew it happened...

"Yes, good. You are correct. Leather can be used in many a things to make or wear."

Belle looked at the cow, she had seen many in car trips. It was nothing too special but it was cute! "Professor isn't one resource for a cow, is that their feces is used for manure to help plants grow?" she asked.

"Fertilizer, yes, you are correct. Good answer."

"Well done, everyone. Wait just a minute while I send Nelson here to his spot." Maya rose from her seat and led the calf towards where the hay was and left him there to munch on the yumness.

Then she returned to the class while taking out her wand. Flicking it at whatever, a long wooden table appeared, with enough space for everyone in the class to have room, and some to spare. With a second flick, lots of empty colored buckets appeared.

"Everyone, please stand by the table, select three buckets and put them infront of you on the table." She waited for everyone to do so, "Bring your eggs." A third flick of her wand and small pile of magical permanent pens appeared along the table. "Mark your egg with your name, or any other signature that can be identified as your own." Dooooo it.

"As you do this, what can you tell me about goats?" Hmmm?

Hehe.

The smell you sense when handling cow fertilizer isn't actually the manure - it is the smell of fermentation and any other substance they mix together with the manure to make it more potent." Or was she mistaken? Bah. "Very good." Quote: Originally Posted by Hera Emily took an egg... an egg??? and returned to her seat. Why were they looking after an egg? Odd...

Nelson was adorable!!! those gorgeous eyes! and his wet shiny nose!!!... or was it called a muzzle? ... meh same thing. "Professor, they're a valuable food resource. Their milk can produce many different things... aside from milk, theres cheese, cream, yogurt... etc." "That is true - from milk one can make many other things. Very good." Nod nod.

Following the instructions, Samira scooped down and held a chicken egg gently in her small hand. As she sat down, Samira looked at the animal-a calf-the professor was pointing to. Umm... Samira raised her hand. "Meat?" "Yes indeed, we get meat from cows. Good, good." Quote: Originally Posted by Wenzlebug Cedric walked toward the basket-ful of eggs and took a sole egg from it. He could keep it safe. He was a very careful kid, you know. And it breaking into pieces was the least that could happen to the unhatched creature inside it. Cedric stared at the calf, contemplatively. He had developed this habit of using his spare time wisely, and some of his spare time had been used in the Animal Collective. He knew that calf. He liked animals, you know. They were just really gentle creatures that knew nothing of the harshness that is the world, just like him. Hehe. "We uh, consume their meat? And their milk. The cow pollutes the environment by the methane gas ~~(read: fart)~~ they release but for some countries, they process the gas and use it as a sort of fuel for their cars and stuffs." Chicken can run fast? Ha. Of course they do. And they find worms? Hmm. Interesting. A smirk slyly worked its way up to the Hufflepuff's lips as a ingenious thought so suddenly yet expectedly struck his mind. "So, Destiny, is that how you got rid of your tapeworms?" Hehe. "By feeding them to chickens." "Mhm," nod nod, "Milk. And yes, good one, the cow's gases tend to have a bad impact on the enviroment. And as you said, some people find ways to use what is bad and turn it into something good." "Mister Leone, shush." No talking about other people's worms.

Hang on, did some first year just lose Slytherin 47 points! K-Lee was outraged! 47 points!!! That was almost as many points that she had earned the entire year all up! Pout. "Milk does come from the cow, yes. And it is true, milk tends to be an ingredient in alot of foods. Good thinking."

She felt a little chicken peck her foot and leaning down gently, let it come over to her hand where she swiftly picked it up making sure to put her hands over the wings so as to make it impossible for them to be broken. Gently she lifted it. "Professor, isn't it true that most chickens - well the female hens are fed ground oyster shells to strengthen their own eggs and to make sure the eggs don't break easily." She asked intrigued. "Yes, everyone, no matter if they are magical or muggle or inbetween, like their meat. Good." Maya nodded and kept her eyes on the girl as she asked another question. Errr. What. "Oh, yes, it is a source of calcium and nutrients for the chickens." Nod nod. Wherever did she hear that?

She raised her hand, and said, "Um, Professor? Cowhide is used for leather - to make clothes, shoes, bags and suchlike isn't it?" She wasn't one hundred percent sure on the processes, but she knew it happened... "Yes, good. You are correct. Leather can be used in many a things to make or wear."

"Professor isn't one resource for a cow, is that their feces is used for manure to help plants grow?" she asked. "Fertilizer, yes, you are correct. Good answer." "Well done, everyone. Wait just a minute while I send Nelson here to his spot." Maya rose from her seat and led the calf towards where the hay was and left him there to munch on the yumness. Then she returned to the class while taking out her wand. Flicking it at whatever, a long wooden table appeared, with enough space for everyone in the class to have room, and some to spare. With a second flick, lots of empty colored buckets appeared. "Everyone, please stand by the table, select three buckets and put them infront of you on the table." She waited for everyone to do so, "Bring your eggs." A third flick of her wand and small pile of magical permanent pens appeared along the table. "Mark your egg with your name, or any other signature that can be identified as your own." Dooooo it. "As you do this, what can you tell me about goats?" Hmmm? Hehe.
