Were they having fun yet? Hady sure hoped that they all were. The task she had given them all of designing and setting up terrariums for the reptile they choose should be fun, right? It didn't even require them to touch the reptiles if they truly didn't want to. With a quick look at her watch she realized they were running out of time until the end of the lesson. "There's about ten minutes left everyone. So if you're still working on your terrarium please finish that up and get your reptile back into their tank if you have taken them out. I'd like for you to write your name and your reptiles name, if you've given them one, on the card that's on their tank so that I know who belongs to who. All of the reptiles here today will be taking up permanent residence in The Reptile Room if anyone would like to continue visiting them or any of the other reptiles there."

Still holding his new friend, he gave Hady his attention. Was it time to move along with the lesson already? Oh! They were going to build a new home for the creatures! Exciting! Jude was itching to get started the moment he saw the items that would be used in this process.

For the activity, Jude decided that he wanted to work alone. “I’ll just leave you on the ground for a bit. You can explore if you want.’’ Moving slowly again, Benjee was set to the ground. Immediately, the chameleon - now bright blue - took two steps, meticulously turning its head this way and that as though trying to decide which direction to go in first.

Jude then turned his attention to Benjee’s tank. If he were a Karma Chameleon, he definitely would want all the space he could get to move about. That was why the Hufflepuff decided to expand the tanks. With a mutter of an incantation and the appropriate wand movement, he watched as Benjee’s tank expanded. Jude’s intention was to make it enlarge in width, rather than height and this was exactly what was his focus. The result? Well, let’s just say that Benjee would have a marvelous time in his new home.

One particularly length branch was strung along the top of the tank from one end to the other so that Benjee could chill out there if he wanted.

The Hufflepuff was quite pleased with himself and he had actually begun humming softly as the work continued. Two heating lamps, one on each side of the tank, were set in place; these were for when the temperature was cooler obviously.

Then, just for the fun of it {since he didn’t think that chameleons usually ate out of bowls}, Jude added in one of the tiny food bowls. But not before adding some dead crickets and grasshoppers. Naturally it made sense to add a water bowl as well so this was done.

Now! Where was Benjee so that the chameleon could check out his new home?

With only a little while left to the lesson, she once more walked around to see how everyone was doing. Why was she not surprised at the bonding happening here and how Jude knew just how to set up the tank for his reptile? Hady smile. "Great work. I'm sure your little reptile friend is going to have a great time in there." All those branches to climb on and rocks to lay on. Fun!

Summer looked around and saw that Desiree, seemed to be enjoying herself. She decided to see if any of her fellow gryffindors were enjoying their time as well, because she wasn't... her mother might like plants and animals but she liked them in their tanks. They were icky and dirty. She looked back at the tank.

Hmm, was everything okay over here? "You can work with a friend if you're not comfortable with taking the reptile out at all. There's also gloves if you would like to wear those as well. Hady smiled warmly, she had so much faith in all of her students.

It couldn’t be much fun staying cooped up in that tank all the time! As she stuck her hand inside, the moke crawled up her arm, and she giggled as she perched on her shoulder. “There, that’s better, isn’t it…” Her voice trailed off as she realized she didn’t know Miss Moke’s real name. “Minnie...” she read the sticker. Minnie Moke… that sort of sounds like Minnie Mouse, she thought with another giggle to herself at what a fitting name that was. This Minnie was just as friendly as the Disney character!

Giving Minnie a little pat on the head, she turned her attention to Professor Paton. Ooh, they were going to create a habitat for the reptiles? That sounded fun… provided she stayed in her human form long enough to do the activity! Her mind was already buzzing with ideas for Minnie’s terrarium. She’d need food and water, of course, some rocks to sit on, a hammock to sleep in style, some plants to hide behind in case she wanted to be alone, and a heat lamp to keep her warm. Was the lamp enough, or would she need a heating pad too? She’d figure that out later.

First things first, that tank was waaaay too small to hold all of Desiree’s ideas! She fixed that with a quick charm. “There, now you’ll have lots of room,” she said, petting the little moke still perched on her shoulder. “Let’s get you some supplies. Want to come?” She stuck her arm in the tank, just in case Minnie wanted to crawl down, but she seemed content where she was. Looked like she was coming with Desiree to the front!

She returned to her seat a few minutes later with an armload of reptile supplies and set everything on the ground in front of her, taking care not to jostle Minnie from her perch. Now to get to work! She carefully packed some dirt on the bottom of the tank to make a nice soft surface. Then she placed a heat lamp in one corner of the tank, added a heating pad just in case, and stacked some rocks in front to make a space for Minnie to sit in the “sun”. In another corner, she arranged some tall, leafy plants for a nice, secluded place for Minnie to hide. Who knows, she might like to eat the leaves too. She’d read that some lizards ate leaves. Were mokes among them?

Speaking of food, that was the next thing on Desiree’s to-do list. She filled up a food dish with crickets and placed it in another area of the tank. A quick Aquamenti filled the water dish, and she put that in the tank beside the food dish. Now Minnie had an area for warmth, an area for hiding, and an area for food. Now she needed an area to sleep and an area to play, of course! Desiree attached a hammock to one side of the tank and scattered some rocks and sticks throughout for MInnie to climb or sit on. When she was done, she looked at the little moke on her shoulder and said, “What do you think?”

She lowered her arm for Minnie to climb down, watching with a smile as the moke immediately perched on the rocks by her new heat lamp.. Desiree would take that as a sign of approval!

This was what she liked to see. Another student really getting into the lesson and enjoying their self. Hady watched for a few moments in silence as Desiree figured things out all on her own for the reptile habitat. "I think she likes it," she gave an approving nod of her head as the moke settled on a rock. "Very nice work."

A bit more walking around and it was time to call the lesson to a close. Making her way back to the front where she was stood earlier by the white board, Professor Paton gave a clap of her hands. "That's today's lesson everyone! I hope you all enjoyed it and don't forget to write your name and your reptiles name on the card that's on their terrarium please. There will be no homework tonight so enjoy the rest of your afternoon." It wasn't always that she didn't give an assignment after a lesson but she felt like today it wasn't completely necessary.

OOC: Thank you all for joining in on my first lesson as a professor again! I really hope you all enjoyed it! I'll leave this open for another 24hours or so for anyone that would like to finish up having their kiddo decorate a reptile habitat or leave the lesson
