HM Hendrik sits behind his desk, deep in thought. He is arranging his notes and books as he prepares for his first lesson of the new term. Off to the side are several containers. Some covered, some exposed, all with interesting creatures inside. In the far corner is a rather large tank filled with water and covered with a large tarp. From inside, one can hear something splashing around. He walks over to the tank and tosses in a few horseshoe crabs and returns to his desk and continues to work.

After feeding his...er...well, having fed the creature in the large container, HM Hendrik returns to his desk to resume his class preparation when he is visited by a MoM owl. He takes the parchment from its leg, offers it an owl treat and begins to read the letter.

"Hmmmm....this is interesting...."

He quickly stands and crosses over to his collection of books and searches for a specific title. While searching for his book, HM Hendrik gets an odd sensation that he can't quite place. It was nothing like last term though it still made him a bit uneasy.

*thinking to himself* "...perhaps I should consult with a few of my predecessors...they might have a better grasp as to this odd feeling I am experiencing.....that or maybe I just need to see Nurse Lotus for a bit of indigestion......"
