Except for the kid with the scarf over his face. He wasn’t so sure about that one.

”A few of you made excellent points, as well. While the Placement charm is similar to Windgardium Leviosa, they also have their differences. That levitation charm simply just levitates the object, while the placement charm can actually move the object to a different point and stick it there, just like you all said.” Props to them smart little studentsies.

”So todaaayy,” he started slowly, somewhat for a dramatic effect, ”we will also be learning about winged horses. If you haven’t made a guess already, you’ll see in a little while what the placement charm and those creatures have to do with each other.” He was going to let them use their imagination. ”For now, go ahead and give your undivided attention to Professor Thompson and he’ll teach you all you need to know about these creatures..”

He gestured to the man beside him. All yours, Javy.[/color]

SPOILER!!: Thompson

Other than that and the sharp look he gave Professor Fuller when he suggested the students could step on Professor Morgan, he was all good standing by the Thestral while Piers did his thing first... and now it was his show. "Thank you, Piersie.." Oops. looks like that nickname for him was contagious. Heh. Moving on..

Not exactly how Javy had planned to introduce the fact on the Thestral being there. But no matter, it was a nice opportunity to include them in, "Glad you asked, Miss Cambridge. Considering this particular Thestral isn't one of Mr. Kirby's, his knowledge on one being here isn't as necessary." Least this saved the time on finding out who could see them.

"Now then, to ease anyone's confusion there is in fact a Thestral right by me." Taking a fresh apple from his pocket, he then dropped it in front. The students who were able to see the Thestral knew what was coming. The majority of the rest.. got to see the apple appear to magically disappear chunk by chunk into nothingness. "The Thestrals here are considered gentle creatures despite their appearance and reputation as associating with omens and death, because only those who have seen another person's death and accepted the circumstance of it are only able to see them." Just for the basic facts. Using his wand, the thirty-three year old Professor gently tapped the board behind him with it, making the words start visually appearing onto it. Yep, notes were happening.


"Another thing to note is that Thestrals are a breed of Winged Horses." The ones over by the side that were more easy on the eyes. Some were making shriek noises among another. "Who are considerably more tamer by nature and smaller in size. Can anyone share some of the other breeds of Winged Horses?"

OOC: Mention only one breed + optional small fact on them. Feel free to be creative with your answers. =)

So it was a Thestral. Aha, he had been correct... A lump formed in his throat when the memory of the car accident began flooding into his mind again. The sirens and flashing lights... No. He had to stop. He dismissed the thoughts away and refocused on the lesson at hand. Simon continued to gaze at the Thestral for a little while longer until he realized there were notes being written on the board. He quickly pulled out his notebook and began taking notes. They'd be useful later.

After listening to the Professor's question about other breeds of Winged Horses, he paused and let the information set in. Breeds of Winged Horses? Oh, he knew one of the answers. He had just read about this the other day. In his mind, he searched hungrily for the answer. When he found one of the breeds, he raised his hand. "Professor, the Aethonan is a breed of winged horse. There popular in Ireland and Great Britain," he explained.
