Cassie was trying to concentrate on the students around her making sure they were getting to know their snakes and starting their observations, but she could feel some tension with a few of the snakes, "make sure you aren't squeezing the snakes too tight and once you get to know them place them in the grass so you can watch their movements."

She got distracted for a moment, raising her hand. "Professor, can you give Emmerson her points back? Pleeeease? That isn't her. She's acting different. And she sounds like the ghost. It's not fair to take points." Ashley had no love for Emmerson Cambridge, but it was obvious she was acting strange, and it wouldn't be fair to take her points like that. Also, the behavior seemed familiar, and she couldn't think why. She went back to the snake. "Please little snake, I'm not suspicious. Pleeeease. Don't be afraid." The snake didn't move towards her, but it didn't move away either. "See Irithel? It's a nice snakey." Turning when she heard Ashley say about Emmerson and she was going to nicely tell the girl to go mind her own business when she said the oddest thing, "Ghost, what ghost?" She looked between the girls very confused. "Phoebe, please come over here." She was going to get to the bottom of this. As she turned her eyes on Emmerson, she really seemed a bit confused, but what if this was a trick that the class was trying to play? "I'm sorry if you are all having some issues with snakes, but we can't be going around acting crazy to get out of lessons." Honestly, did they think she just started teaching or...

What did that mean again? Keep an eye on your surroundings. Sure, Bernie could do that. Mostly she was keeping an eye on Emmerson and her strange voice. "You just lost us 10 points for that shouting," she hit the girl lightly on the arm. "And now we lost our snakeeeeee."
Was Bernie perturbed by Emmerson's strange behavior? Not a bit, not even as she felt her own eyes roll back in her head. The same deep voice that had popped out of Emmerson now emerged from Bernadette:
"How many children will it take to return WHAT IS MINE?" Quote:

Emm blinked up at the Professor, finding it difficult to remember what happened in the last minute or so. Even the snakes were forgotten. “Me, Professor?” was she the one who lost 5 points? It was starting to seem that way with how the woman was looking at her and even Ashley was asking for her to get them back but...she hadn’t...done anything.
And then Bernie was smacking her hand and just...WHO cost them 10 points?
“WHAT are you TALKING about? The First Year, whined. She was only standing there waiting for whatever instructions and now looking down she saw there were snakes slithering everywhere and...and...and...really, what was going on here?
Emm thought to ask her partner but then...um....
Ooooookat then Bernie.
Her hand slowly rose into the air as she took several steps away from Bernadette. “Um. Professor. Can I be excused? There’s a ton of snakes and now my partner’s gone crazy and I don’t wanna end up one of the children she’s talking about. I think we should all probably just call it a day.” Because no, she still wasn’t going NEAR those scaly monsters. O_o
What in the world was Bernie doing? She watched the girls eyes and the voice, that voice was very interesting. "How many kids? I clearly do not know what you are speaking about." She stared at Bernie talking to either a ghost or a child trying to play a joke, she wasn't fully sure at the moment. "No Emmerson you can not be excused, I would like to get to the bottom of this. You four girls stay right here."
She turned to the rest of the class. "Alright everyone, you should have taken a moment to get to know your snakes, so now I would like you to spread out all over the ground. Stretch your legs and walk to the Butterfly garden, the courtyard, anywhere there is grass and a nice place for the snake to slither around a bit. You will set them down and observe their actions. Once you have observed them in that place jot down some notes and find a new place and do the process over again. See if they acted different in one place over another and try to figure out why they might do this. You have twenty minutes so go ahead, but watch the time and be back here as soon as both observations are done."
Turning back to Phoebe, Emmerson, Bernie, and Ashley, "As for you four I would like to know everything that is going on."
**wonderful job everyone. For this part of the lesson you will have two days from when this post was done. Go off and find two threads in the grounds to post your interaction with your snakes. After your two posts you can post back in here and link those two posts.
