Did the creatures really like that? Hmm.
Vanora listened to the rest of the students give their answers, even chuckling at the couple who mentioned the Fire Crab's 'bathroom' habits. Thankfully, the creatures that she had caged had already been fed and even did their stuff beforehand. That would have been quite a mess.
Anyway.. "Right. So, as the rest of you said, Fire Crabs are native to the islands of Fiji. And as you can see." she pointed to the Fire Crab in the cage before slowly opening the door of it, so she could grab him once he made his way out. If he ever made his way out, "Despite its six legs, it has more of a resemblance to that of a turtle. The jeweled shell, which a few of you said could be fitted with either rubies, sapphires or emeralds, is highly valuable for both wizards and muggles. Wizards use the shell as a cauldron because its much harder than any material and won't burn as easily. The muggles use it for the jewels." Both selfish. "There is something that neither a crab or turtle can do, but the Fire Crab can. If the creature feels threatened, or even annoyed," as Theodore said, "they defend themselves by shooting a jet of flame from their.. well, their butts." No laughing, please. "Also, I don't know how," and she didn't want to either, "but Rubeus Hagrid somehow mated a Fire Crab and a Manticore to create the Blast-Ended Skrewts." But enough about them. "And while there is a reserve, which I worked at before coming to Hogwarts, Fire Crab poaching is still happening and the number of creatures decrease each year." Sad, right? "They shouldn't be kept as pets." Even if the Ministry says people could. "But that is just my opinion."
Picking up the Fire Crab once he was out of the cage, Professor Newlin held it gently in her arms as she stood from the ground. She pulled out her wand, flicking it in the direction of the rest of the cages and the table by the shed, causing all the covers to come off. She may have forgotten about the jar of worms.. "As you can see, there are enough Fire Crabs for each of you." She glanced over at Daichi, if that was his name, and Kai, giving them both a small smile. "But if you'd rather work in pairs, that is fine." "If there aren't any questions, I'd like you all to grab a bucket, a brush and a washcloth from off the table, then stand by one of the cages. Don't let the Fire Crabs out just yet. We'll have to get the water ready first."
Yup. They were going to be cleaning a Fire Crab. OOC: Okay! If your character doesn't have any question, have them go over and pick up their supplies then pick out a Fire Crab to stand by! This does not have to be done in one post, you can RP finding a partner if you'd like. Or just talking, whatever. We'll start the activity in about.. 36 hours. So you all have time to post. =D
Partners should have two Fire Crabs. That was true, she guessed. They didn't know whether fire crabs liked fire. But why wouldn't they? They were FIRE crabs. And it was kinda cool that they could shoot fire at things, even if it was out of an awkward place. So Penelope assumed the fire crabs probably liked fire.
And now it seemed they were going to wash the fire crabs? That should be fun. The second year walked over to the table and grabbed a bucket, washcloth, and brush and then went over to one of the cages that didn't have anyone beside them. She also looked around to see if there was anyone else who wanted and a partner and didn't have one but didn't immediately see anyone.
But then...

Zooming out from his spot in the trees he made his presence known.
"FIRE!
THE CRABS ARE ON FIRE! EVERYONE RUN! SAVE YOURSELVES!"
Flying around their heads he spotted a jar of dirt... and worms.
PERFECT!
"HAVE NO FEAR, PEEVES IS HERE! HE'LL PUT OUT THOSE FIRES!" Or maybe just feed the crabs.
Swooping down he snatched up the jar FULL of creepy crawlies and started dumping them all over the place. Worms were everywhere! On the ground, tables... on the students, in their hair, slithering down their backs...
Peeves appeared. And it started raining worms.
Penelope didn't mind them much, but she also didn't appreciate when she felt a few land in her hair. That was her HAIR. Hair some people thought was NICE, and possibly the only nice thing about her. And it wasn't exactly nice if there were worms in it, was it?
Wrinkling her nose in slight disgust, she set down her bucket, brush, and washcloth on the ground at her feet and used both hands to search her hair and pull the worms out. Ugh.
