CoMC :: Lesson 3

[Blackwidow]

CoMC Lesson Three :: Merpeople


As you enter care of magical creatures classroom you'll notice Professor Clark has yet again illusioned the class but this time to reflect underwater scenery.

Professor Clark was seated ontop of his desk, on a weed bed he took the liberty on decorating himself. He greets you with a smile and a murmured "Hello" as you enter the class, "class shall commence soon".

[PhoenixRising]

Amelia entered the CoMC, which she felt as though she had just left. She gazed around the classroom to see that it was disillusioned to represent underwater scenery.

Taking a seat towards the front, she took out her notes and looked up at the professor. "Hello Professor, How are you today?"

[XanaSnape]

Xana entered the COMC classroom and smiled at the professor. "Hello!" she said, taking a seat by Mia. "Hi.." She said softly to the Hufflepuff prefect, smiling.

[D.A Forever]

Coming in right behind Amelia, Savannah waved a warm hello to the Professor, smiling slightly as she too noticed the under the sea sort of theme. Taking a seat beside her sixth year friend, she quietly got ready for class while they waited.

[Lissy Longbottom]

Emma hurried into the classroom and immediately grinned. The classroom had transformed to look like the bottom of the lake...it looked awesome. "Hello Professor," she said happily as she took her usual seat in the third row.

[Angie]

Willow stepped in the Care of Magical Creatures classroom, feeling a little sleepy. Homework was definitely keeping her busy during the night. "Hello Professor Clark" She greeted politely, before yawning a little.

Mental note: Quit staying up so late

Forest green eyes examined the classroom, with curiosity. She had to face it; The place was looking very nice. Swimming may not be one of her strenghts, but the ocean was probably one of the most beautiful things ever.

The seond year took seat in the middle of the classroom, and waited for the class to start.

[DeathEater24601]

Diabolica loped into class, taking a seat near the front of class and removing a piece of parchment and her raven feather quill from her duffel bag.

[SilverTiger]

Rhiannon came into class after several other students. Smiling at the professor, she takes a seat near Amelia. More water creatures, she thinks amusedly. She takes out supplies for notes while she waited for class to start.

[Deadmau5]

Hitachi slowly walked into the classroom and found a seat. "Good day, Professor!" he said merrily.

[Anna Banana]

Following closely behind her best friend Emma, Anna walked into the classroom with wide eyes. "The classroom looks beautiful," she thought to herself, taking a seat near Emma.

[BanaBatGirl]

Punz somewhat reluctantly entered Care of Magical Creatures, not at all in the mood to attend class, but Hufflepuff definitely needed the points. And she had to represent, yo.

She took a seat near Willow Kovac and smiled briefly at the girl before leaning an arm against the desk and cupping her chin in her hand.

[*JoshMoonson*]

Amelia entered the CoMC, which she felt as though she had just left. She gazed around the classroom to see that it was disillusioned to represent underwater scenery.

Taking a seat towards the front, she took out her notes and looked up at the professor. "Hello Professor, How are you today?"

Josh couldnt believe he was coming to one of his classes. If their was cages around he was out of here. he looked over to see rhiannon as he gave her a small wave. he walked over to mia as he spoke to her." Hey miss perfect prefect." he teased her as he then asked," what are you doing this weekend?" he thought about it for a moment as he probably should of asked how she was." how are you? Not rounding up any more animals are you?"

[PhoenixRising]

Xana entered the COMC classroom and smiled at the professor. "Hello!" she said, taking a seat by Mia. "Hi.." She said softly to the Hufflepuff prefect, smiling.

Coming in right behind Amelia, Savannah waved a warm hello to the Professor, smiling slightly as she too noticed the under the sea sort of theme. Taking a seat beside her sixth year friend, she quietly got ready for class while they waited.

Rhiannon came into class after several other students. Smiling at the professor, she takes a seat near Amelia. More water creatures, she thinks amusedly. She takes out supplies for notes while she waited for class to start.

Amelia looked from her left to her right as students filled in, three of whom sat near her. She smiled at the older slytherin girl and said back, "Hi.." before turning her attention back to the the other students that joined her.

Not enough room for everyone near me, she thought noting that Rhiannon was last of the three to join her and had to settle for a spot near her, rather than next to her. She was feeling slightly popular today, which made her giggle quietly, to herself.


Josh couldnt believe he was coming to one of his classes. If their was cages around he was out of here. he looked over to see rhiannon as he gave her a small wave. he walked over to mia as he spoke to her." Hey miss perfect prefect." he teased her as he then asked," what are you doing this weekend?" he thought about it for a moment as he probably should of asked how she was." how are you? Not rounding up any more animals are you?"

Amelia made a face as Josh called her perfect. She hated when people called her that, because it just annoyed her greatly. She giggled though when he asked what she was doing this weekend. Smirking a little, she paused, "Not hanging out with you?" she teased him back. "I'm fine but could you please sit down now. I'm trying to learn."

[Deadmau5]

Hitachi scanned the classroom and decided to move and sit next to Dia. He grinned as he sat by her. "Hello Dia! How're you?"

[SilverTiger]

Josh couldnt believe he was coming to one of his classes. If their was cages around he was out of here. he looked over to see rhiannon as he gave her a small wave. he walked over to mia as he spoke to her." Hey miss perfect prefect." he teased her as he then asked," what are you doing this weekend?" he thought about it for a moment as he probably should of asked how she was." how are you? Not rounding up any more animals are you?"

Rhiannon saw Josh wave at her before going over to talk to Amelia, who had said hi to her earlier. Leaning forward, she whispered. "Hi Amelia. Josh, maybe you should sit down somewhere, like she said. Instead of get in trouble for who knows what." She kept an eye on Professor Clark, not knowing what he was going to do about their talking.

[Angie]

Punz somewhat reluctantly entered Care of Magical Creatures, not at all in the mood to attend class, but Hufflepuff definitely needed the points. And she had to represent, yo.

She took a seat near Willow Kovac and smiled briefly at the girl before leaning an arm against the desk and cupping her chin in her hand.

Willow was about to start doodling on her parchment, when she felt someone taking seat next to her. "Oh, Hello Rapunzel" Willow said with a tiny smile to the Hufflepuff, before taking out her text book. She had to admit that she was relieved that it wasn't Goodwin, or that obnoxious Gryffindor girl from Transfiguration.

This was not the moment for her to start chatting. Ravenclaw could lose points for that

She had to admit that she was relieved that it wasn't Goodwin, or that obnoxious Gryffindor girl from Transfiguration.

This was not the moment for her to start chatting. Ravenclaw could lose points for that
"Hi," Punz muttered, not really focusing. She was still staring blankly ahead, and barely noticed the underwater theme of the classroom.

"I guess I could get my book out," she sighed, thinking out loud as she rummaged through her bag, scattering a few owl treats on the floor.

[Torchwood]

Qaz took a seat in the back, as always. She got out her quill, parchment and textebook. A definite aquatic theme today. As long as it didn't require a jump in the lake, she was up for it.

[*JoshMoonson*]

Amelia made a face as Josh called her perfect. She hated when people called her that, because it just annoyed her greatly. She giggled though when he asked what she was doing this weekend. Smirking a little, she paused, "Not hanging out with you?" she teased him back. "I'm fine but could you please sit down now. I'm trying to learn."

He raised an eye brow at her as he then sat down." You learning." he then chuckled. They were the torturing sort of people." What about saturday?" he asked her. He would of liked to talk to her." you know you'll have fun." he assured her.

Rhiannon saw Josh wave at her before going over to talk to Amelia, who had said hi to her earlier. Leaning forward, she whispered. "Hi Amelia. Josh, maybe you should sit down somewhere, like she said. Instead of get in trouble for who knows what." She kept an eye on Professor Clark, not knowing what he was going to do about their talking.

Josh chuckled as she said they better side down some where for if they didnt they would get into trouble." more then likely he will petrify all of us and then stick us in cages." Fabian was not going to ever live that one down"how are you Rhiannon?' he asked her with a smile.

[Blackwidow]

"Aright settle down" Fabian called out as he bounced off the desk and landed on his feet to get the entire class's attention.

"Today we shall cover merpeople, as most of us know. Merpeople are beings that live underwater. They have created their own cultural and social structures over many many generations. So lets start by describing them out, what do merpeople look like?".

[SilverTiger]

He raised an eye brow at her as he then sat down." You learning." he then chuckled. They were the torturing sort of people." What about saturday?" he asked her. He would of liked to talk to her." you know you'll have fun." he assured her.



Josh chuckled as she said they better side down some where for if they didnt they would get into trouble." more then likely he will petrify all of us and then stick us in cages." Fabian was not going to ever live that one down"how are you Rhiannon?' he asked her with a smile.

Rhiannon's eyes widened as Josh talked about cages. "Cages?," she said in a tiny voice. As he asked her how she was, she tried to smile back. Keeping her voice low, she replies, "I'm fine. Except for the slight fear of the professor that I just developed, thanks to you."

She looks down at her hands on the desktop and is cheered up by the sight of her mother's ring on her right hand. She was really happy that she had finally heard back from her cousin, and that his letter had contained this tiny part of her family. Glancing back up, she noticed that class had officially started. Now that it had, no one was going to get her to be in a conversation if they tried.

[LadyNerd]

Lyra strolled into the classroom and noticed...yet again...Josh and Mia. How typical of the situation at hand. Her eyes narrowed for a moment and then she smiled, half evil. She walked over to a table, slammed her books down. She was more impressed that Josh was even here for class. She took a seat, pulling out her things needed for class.

[Anna Banana]

Anna quickly skimmed over a page in her textbook. Raising her hand, she replied, "Merpeople have grayish skin and long, wild hair. They have yellow eyes and wear a string of pearls around their necks. Their teeth are known to be broken, too. They have a powerful, silver fish tail to swim under water. From the middle up, they look like a human," Anna explained.

[momentai]

Christian leisurely strolled into the class, Shadow bouncing at his heels. The boy definetly was happy and his kitten was channeling the energy. Christian lightly chuckled and made his way to a desk before Fabian started speaking, sitting down and getting out a quill and some paper.

Shadow, on the other hand, had other plans. Sitting was not for this kitten. That leafy stuff looked good. Shadow wandered over to the desk that had Tall Man But Gives Good Treats sitting on it, and he started nibbling on a bit of the weed bed.

"Don't they have like the tail of a fish instead of legs...but the upper torso of a human? So...a fishykindaperson?" His eyes darted to Lyra, who looked a little frazzled. Oh dear.

[SlytherinSistah]

Claudian put his hand in the air and answered Professor Clark. "Merpeople are usually small, greenish in colour with thin limbs and webbed features."

[D.A Forever]

"Merpeople have greyish skin and long, dark green hair and yellow eyes, and silver tails," Savannah said, hand raised. She quite liked this lesson, alot. It sort of reminded her of the little mermaid history lesson Lainey had taught them afew term prior.

[Angie]

"They have greyish skin and long, wild, dark green hair. Their eyes are yellow, as are their broken teeth, and they wear thick ropes of pebbles around their necks" Willow said, with her hand in the air.

[SlytherinSistah]

Claudian put his hand up again, this time with a question. "Don't merpeople, as a general rule, vary in terms of specific types, Professor? And, does this affect their appearance?"

[Deadmau5]

Hitachi's hand slowly went up. "Professor, Merpeople are usually small, greenish in color with thin limbs and webbed features. They sort of look like us Wizards and Witches."

[PhoenixRising]

He raised an eye brow at her as he then sat down." You learning." he then chuckled. They were the torturing sort of people." What about saturday?" he asked her. He would of liked to talk to her." you know you'll have fun." he assured her.

Amelia rolled her eyes. The boy was persistent and she knew, much to her dismay she would have to hang out with him eventually. She closed her eyes a moment and was about to respond to his request, when Fabian started talking, causing her to turn back around in her seat. The last thing she wanted was to lose points...

"Aright settle down" Fabian called out as he bounced off the desk and landed on his feet to get the entire class's attention.

"Today we shall cover merpeople, as most of us know. Merpeople are beings that live underwater. They have created their own cultural and social structures over many many generations. So lets start by describing them out, what do merpeople look like?".

The sixth year raised her hand and responded to his question, "Merpeople around the world vary in appearance just as humans do. The sirens of Greece are the oldest recorded merpeople, who match the descriptions of Muggle legend 'The Little Mermaid'. Whereas the selkies of Scotland and the merrows of Ireland differ in appearance.

The merpeople of Hogwarts - who are selkies - have greyish skin and long, wild, dark green hair. Their eyes are yellow, as are their broken teeth, and they wear thick ropes of pebbles around their necks. They have silver fish tails, but their upper extremities resemble those of humans. Merpeople are also very tall too.."

[Deadmau5]

Hitachi kept his hand held high and asked, "Professor, can Merpeople be ''friendly'' at times?" he slowly slid down his hand and stared admirably at the professor.

[D.A Forever]

Savannah had been pondering over something in her head, until Mia mentioned merpeople of different places differ in appearance. Her hand raised, adding "Now that I think of it, if I remember correctly, Professor Lainey said Merpeople don't have hair; their bald, purposely."

[Lissy Longbottom]

"The more 'beautiful' merpeople are found in warmer waters, so they change appearance depending on where they live. The merpeople in our lake look different than ones you'd find in the ocean or something," Emma said as she raised her hand.

[Blackwidow]

"Yes yes. All those are very good descriptions. Two points each!" he smiled tenderly at the class, "Mermaids do have gray skin with long green hair, yellow eyes, broken teeth, quite charming aye? and wear thick ropes of pebbles around their necks. Those descriptions are for the selkies mermaids, selkies of scotland, there's also the Irish merrow and the greek sirens whom look quite differently from the selkies."

Hitachi kept his hand held high and asked, "Professor, can Merpeople be ''friendly'' at times?" he slowly slid down his hand and stared admirably at the professor.

"Of course they can, they behave just like people. They can be friendly, its only our society that depicts them as dangerous and ominous. Dissapointedly we fear anything that doesn't resemble us, humans".

Savannah had been pondering over something in her head, until Mia mentioned merpeople of different places differ in appearance. Her hand raised, adding "Now that I think of it, if I remember correctly, Professor Lainey said Merpeople don't have hair; their bald, purposely."


Fabian crooked a brow at Savannah's statement, Professor Lainey could have meant something else. For clearly they had hair, very long hair. "Hmm" he sighed, "well she could mean a species of sorts? For merpeople have long hair, especially mermaids, its part of what makes them attractive and magical!".

"Moving on. Other species of mermaids resemble humans. With bright colorful hair and eyes. Typical merpeople hair colors are: Brown, Blonde, Red, Sea-blue, and Sea-green. As for eye color it can range from: Blue, Green, Moonlight-silver, Hazel, Gray, and Amber. They positively look like humans from waist up, from waist down they have a scaled tail of a fish. And they are very very beautiful both mermaids and mermen and that is why us, humans are attracted to them".

"Mermaids as mentioned are rather intelligent beings, thus possess speech. Does anyone know what language they speak?"

[XanaSnape]

"Mermish, sir." Xana said.

[PhoenixRising]

"Mermish..." Amelia responded, tentatively.

[Waddles]

Juniper raised her hand. "Mermish."

[Angie]

"Mermish" Willow answered

[D.A Forever]

"I don't recall her saying they were different.." Savannah mused, "Erm, she was probably talking about a certain place is still like that. It was in tribute or tradition or something, because of the mermaid princess from atime ago. Nevermind that, sorry Professor" She finished, only to add "They speak Mermish," to his question.

[Anna Banana]

Raising her hand, Anna said, "Mermish. It sounds like a high-pitched scream above water, but underwater it sounds a little more clear...although, it sounds kind of croaky."

[Lissy Longbottom]

"Mermish," Emma said as she raised her hand, "It's a very difficult language to master, especially since Merpeople are very mysterious and don't interact with humans much."

[FoxFire]

"Well, it probably sounds like English to them," Gwen said, giggling, "but us humans call it Mermish."

[Blackwidow]

"Mermish, sir." Xana said.

Raising her hand, Anna said, "Mermish. It sounds like a high-pitched scream above water, but underwater it sounds a little more clear...although, it sounds kind of croaky."

"Well, it probably sounds like English to them," Gwen said, giggling, "but us humans call it Mermish."

"Very so, two points each, Merpeople speak mermish. Underwater its a very musical language and croaky, however, above water it comes out as screeches and not very so pretty for ones' ears. Of course more educated of them speak the tongue of native humans. They are arogant creatures at so, so don't expecting one speaking english to you right out of the blue. They are generally nice people, but they are suspicious of outsiders, humans amongst them. Thanks for fishermen and wizards who seek out their capture, resulting in their shy away from most".

"What sort of abilities do merepeople have?"



"I don't recall her saying they were different.." Savannah mused, "Erm, she was probably talking about a certain place is still like that. It was in tribute or tradition or something, because of the mermaid princess from atime ago. Nevermind that, sorry Professor" She finished, only to add "They speak Mermish," to his question.

"Possibly" he smiled at Savannah, "we can talk more about it after class" hoping that would make the Hufflepuff more ..relaxed.

[Lissy Longbottom]

"Well, I know all Merpeople love music, so perhaps they can produce beautiful songs? That's what makes them so fascinating to Muggles," Emma said as she raised her hand. She wasn't sure if that was right, but it was worth a shot.

[FoxFire]

"Well, they can make music, and they can domesticate grindylows," Gwen said. "They keep them as pets."

[SlytherinSistah]

Claudian raised his hand. "They, as you mentioned, Professor, have the ability to create their own organized society. If they poses a common language, then perhaps they also have the ability to read and produce literature or writings. They might also have their own brand of entertainment, fashion, and other trademarks of culture." He speculated.

[Anna Banana]

Raising her hand, Anna replied, "Magically merpeople have no abilities. They do have a natural resistance to water damage and they can breathe water. They have retained the ability to breathe air and the somewhat mystical-seeming ability to change their lower fins into human legs for faster travel. They also have a charm that attracts the opposite gender to them."

[XanaSnape]

Claudian raised his hand. "They, as you mentioned, Professor, have the ability to create their own organized society. If they poses a common language, then perhaps they also have the ability to read and produce literature or writings. They might also have their own brand of entertainment, fashion, and other trademarks of culture." He speculated.

Xana smiled at her friend. "Actually, merpeople are known to have a great love of music and do have other aspects of culture and political structure in their civilization, I've read."

[SweetAussie]

Agie raised her hand. "They can breathe air for short periods of time. They are are intelligent folk and have a talent for music. They have even developed their own culture and social structures."

[SlytherinSistah]

Claudian raised his hand again. "I'm sorry, Professor, but do you mean like...what sort of abilities do different types of merpeople have? If so, sirens can lure sailors to their deaths through the hypnotic power of their voices and selkies posses the ability to change shape from a kelp eating mammal to a woman." He looked a little unsure, but hoped this is what the Professor was looking for.

[Deadmau5]

"Professor, merpeople can sing very beautifully underwater and breathe air for short periods of time." Hitachi said with his hand up.

[XanaSnape]

"And merrows are said to leave their outer skins behind, to assume others more magical and beautiful." Xana said, wondering if this is what the teacher meant.

[Blackwidow]

"Well, I know all Merpeople love music, so perhaps they can produce beautiful songs? That's what makes them so fascinating to Muggles," Emma said as she raised her hand. She wasn't sure if that was right, but it was worth a shot.

"Well, they can make music, and they can domesticate grindylows," Gwen said. "They keep them as pets."

Claudian raised his hand. "They, as you mentioned, Professor, have the ability to create their own organized society. If they poses a common language, then perhaps they also have the ability to read and produce literature or writings. They might also have their own brand of entertainment, fashion, and other trademarks of culture." He speculated.

Raising her hand, Anna replied, "Magically merpeople have no abilities. They do have a natural resistance to water damage and they can breathe water. They have retained the ability to breathe air and the somewhat mystical-seeming ability to change their lower fins into human legs for faster travel. They also have a charm that attracts the opposite gender to them."

"These are all very good, two points each. This information can pretty much tells us that merpeople are indeed complex creatures. Anymore?"

Claudian raised his hand again. "I'm sorry, Professor, but do you mean like...what sort of abilities do different types of merpeople have? If so, sirens can lure sailors to their deaths through the hypnotic power of their voices and selkies posses the ability to change shape from a kelp eating mammal to a woman." He looked a little unsure, but hoped this is what the Professor was looking for.


"Any sort of abilities, powers, talents" Fabian trailed off thoughtfully, "tell me whatever you read or heard about?".


ooc: you can be creative if you like, god knows i love creativity =)

[BanaBatGirl]

"Er, professor," Rapunzel perked up a little and waved her hand in the air. "I've heard legends of merpeople being rather...belligerent towards humans and very protective of their underwater villages. And I heard they can make sophisticated weapons as well as domesticate water demons, like a hippocampus or a lobalug. Is this true?" She cocked one eyebrow, slightly curious about the answer.

[Anna Banana]

Anna raised her hand again. "I've heard that merpeople can live for thousands of years. They also make very strong fighters," she explained.

[PhoenixRising]

"Any sort of abilities, powers, talents" Fabian trailed off thoughtfully, "tell me whatever you read or heard about?".


Amelia listened as the other students talked of some of the abilities that merpeople have. She wasn't really sure of anything at the moment, other than this story that was lingering in the back of her mind. "Well Professor, I've heard that merpeople also have the ability to leave for thousands of years. Another thing that is interesting to note is that merpeople are classified by the ministry as 'beasts' because they want to be. But they cannot do magic like wizards and witches can, which makes me wonder if perhaps merpeople might be squibs that have adapted?"

[SweetAussie]

Agie raised her hand again. "Hmmm, I heard they are very sensitive, so if you insult them or help their feelings, be afraid. Be very afraid. The might hold you hostage or try to drown you. You never know with these creatures." Agie giggled. "The also get insulted if you call them beasts. I personally would love to see how they would react. Maybe we could organise a group to go to the lake and call them beasts. The speak mermish, but personally i think it is all gibberish and they are just making it up to sound more intelligent. and if that fails we can capture one and I'll keep it as a bet. " She laughed.

[Deadmau5]

Hitachi thought and pulled out his hand again. "Merpeople make surprisingly strong fighters, having adapted to the rigors of deep-sea life. They make fair magicians, but magic has never been a major focus of Merpeople life."

[SlytherinSistah]

"These are all very good, two points each. This information can pretty much tells us that merpeople are indeed complex creatures. Anymore?"


"Any sort of abilities, powers, talents" Fabian trailed off thoughtfully, "tell me whatever you read or heard about?".


ooc: you can be creative if you like, god knows i love creativity =)

Claudian shrank a bit in his seat and looked around to see who was watching. He was starting to feel a bit shy, with his hand still up, he spoke. "Well,...My grandmother told me a bit about the selkies. She also said that in the North, there have been many legends about merpeople of different types who come to the surface and take the form of a regular woman in order to seduce surface dwelling men. One such story is the Mermaid of Gollerus, who married a muggle man and even had children with him." He shrugged a bit. "I'm not sure if it's true or not, though. Have you ever heard of any such interactive circumstances between the merpeople and muggles, sir?" He wanted to get a professionals opinion on this. He nodded his head about what Aggie had said. "I've also heard that, as well. A Cornish Mermaid once held down the unfaithful lover of young girl for breaking her heart as the tide came in." He was careful where his eye roamed when saying this.

[FoxFire]

"I think merpeople somewhere can perform some sort of magic," Gwen said. "Potions and such...there's that story about the mermaid and the sea witch. Of course, it's a Muggle fairy tale, but magical Muggle stories always have some root in truth. They actually know a fair amount about magical creatures, however warped the information. And it's not exactly like we send wizard delegations to study them. There could be a good deal we don't know about them. Maybe they're fantastic chefs."

[BanaBatGirl]

Rapunzel was most curious about Claudian's answer, for the boy seemed to be one big never-ending-puzzle.

The corners of her mouth twitched when he mentioned a mermaid drowning a lover who broke her heart. Wouldn't I like to try that sometime, she thought evilly with an odd twinkle in her emerald eyes.

[Angie]

The second year raised her hand "In British culture, Merpeople are both noted as ominous, foretelling disaster, and provoking it" Willow said, tentatively. She bit her lip, and then went on "Merpeople are also known for dooming muggle ships and for telling sailors that they will never see land again, and in others they just tell them that they are close to the shore, when it really is the complete opposite" Scary creatures merpeople were. Good thing she was not a muggle sailor "The male ones, the mermen, in the other hand, are described as not having much interest on humans... Is this true professor?"

Willow bit her lip again, before adding "I've also read that muggles tend to confuse Merpeople with Manatees because these animals are notable for the way in which they carry their young, cradled in their arms much as a human would carry a baby" Well, she had certainly spoke a lot.

Weird. She was usually very bad at Care Of Magical Creatures.

[shortfry]

Kerry listened as her classmates gave a lot interesting facts and ideas. Hearing one of her classmates talk about mermaids in sailor, reminded Kerry of muggle myths she had heard about Mermaids. Raising her hand she said "I also heard that mermaids are looked upon as bad omens by muggle sailors. Adding to that, the muggle sailors believed mermaids had the ability to enchant them through song which caused them to be distracted them from their work, walk off the decks of ships or even cause shipwrecks."

"I've also heard through muggle lure that Mermaids love to brush their long hair and look into hand mirrors. I read somewhere that a man can capture a mermaid, and make her his wife, by stealing her cherished possessions such as a cap, mirror, or brush. When he had her possesion, he had possesion of her. Pretty cruel, blackmailing someone into marriage, if you ask me. But that's a man for you." Kerry smirked. "I guess, too that they'd want to do this because it was believed that Mermaids made good wives and brought luck to the family - the descendents of mermaids are said to be very good looking and have the gift of prophecy. At the same time though I would venture capturing a mermaid to be a huge risk. I've heard they are very vengeful creatures. If you hurt them or anger them they'll seek vengence upon you and your family with floods and tidal waves. I don't know about you, but that's not a risk I'd be willing to take." Kerry laughed. "Leave it to a man to think of himself and try to kidnap a mermaid."
"If you ask me, I'd much rather try to rescue a mermaid. I heard that if you rescue a mermaid and help her back to sea, she'll grant you a wish. To be on the mermaid's good side for the rest of your life and get a wish in return. How sweet would that be?!" Kerry grinned, wondering if it were true.

[XanaSnape]

"Some legends about mer-men say they capture the souls of drowned sailors and keep them in soul cages under the sea... And that female mermaids are considered very beautiful, but the mermen were basically ugly, which is why mermaids seek out human men. Female Merrows are said to own a red cap or cape, and if a human could capture and hide either so the Merrow never found it, then she would remain on land without a fuss. But if the Merrow should ever find her cap or cape, she would feel compelled to return forever to the ocean." Xana said.

"In Asia, they say the mermaid is not as a personality but a part of nature, like a storm or an animal. But in Africa there are tales of Mami Wata, the African Mermaid Goddess. She appears as a mermaid, and sometimes splashes about in the water at the end of a rainbow after a heavy storm... she takes people away to her land beneath the water. These people are transformed by the experience. When they return to earth they are different, serene and strangely remote from the world around them. They are more beautiful and have become wealthy. She also appears to people in dreams, counseling them or granting them wealth, good health and children. She also denies children to her favourite women and they are said to be her land-dwelling representatives... so very beautiful but barren women are often called Mami Wata in Africa."

[Loki]

The monkey sneak in by pushing the door open just a little bit. His eyes widen when he noticed more two legged creatures. It seems that they were all doing something he had no clue what it was about but the scarier was that they seems to be under water but nothing felt as thought it was true. Now he needed to find a way to hide himself without them knowing he was around. Noticing a bag near him, he climbed in it but accidentally touched one of them (Kerry). Covering himself with what was left in it, he stop move hoping nobody will have noticed he was there.

[Anna Banana]

Anna was starting to drift off a little when she heard a noise coming from low on the floor. She looked down just in time to see a creature...a furry creature of some kind...scurry into a bag on the floor. Noticing that the monkey was near Kerry, Anna reached over and tapped Kerry on the shoulder.

Anna nodded down to the paper bag, hoping Kerry would take notice.

[FoxFire]

Gwen thought she heard a scurrying nearby. She turned toward Kerry and grinned at her. She searched the floor. Finding nothing, she decided it was her imagination. Maybe someone's robes rustling.

[shortfry]

The monkey sneak in by pushing the door open just a little bit. His eyes widen when he noticed more two legged creatures. It seems that they were all doing something he had no clue what it was about but the scarier was that they seems to be under water but nothing felt as thought it was true. Now he needed to find a way to hide himself without them knowing he was around. Noticing a bag near him, he climbed in it but accidentally touched one of them (Kerry). Covering himself with what was left in it, he stop move hoping nobody will have noticed he was there.

All this talk of mermaids and the enchanted room around her was very surreal. It was like the class was taking place in the lake, and Kerry was waiting for a mermaid to swim by them and tell them they were all fools for what they were saying and give a first hand lesson herself.

Suddenly Kerry felt something brush up against her leg. She swore it felt furry, and it made Kerry shriek as she jumped out of her seat!!

Anna was starting to drift off a little when she heard a noise coming from low on the floor. She looked down just in time to see a creature...a furry creature of some kind...scurry into a bag on the floor. Noticing that the monkey was near Kerry, Anna reached over and tapped Kerry on the shoulder.

Anna nodded down to the paper bag, hoping Kerry would take notice.

As she jumped, she felt someone give her a tap on the shoulder which freaked her out anymore. Kerry let out another scream, and turned to see it was just Anna. "Oh, I'm sorry." she said breathlessly. "I swore I felt something creep along my leg. Did you see it? What was it?" Kerry asked scrambling around to see if there was something creepy crawly around her.

[Anna Banana]

Anna was torn between wanting to yell out something about there being a furry creature in the bag and worried that she would cause her house to lose points if she did.

"Erm....the...bag...," Anna whispered, trying to draw Kerry's attention to the bag on the floor.

[Loki]

Well hidden in the creature bag, he could ear that they were a scream and some sort of language between them but he had no clue what this was all about. Still feeling nervous of been found but starting to be tired of all this excitement, he stretches his little body making move the bag a little.

[ZDARDSKY]

Curt whipped around in his seat as he heard Kerry Brandywine let out a rather loud squeal. Curt scanned the area around her and didn't see anything so he just shrugged before facing the Professor once again. Sadly, he knew very little about merpeople and was quite horrid at dealing with magical creatures all together. He just stared blankly at the Professor, turning around to look at Kerry every now and then.

Curt looked back again in astonishment as the Gryffindor first year pointed out that something was in the bag that was near to Kerry. Curts eyebrows perked up slightly as his first idea was Savannah's cat Tiger, that little monster was always up to trouble. He got up from his seat and walked over to it, "I think I know who this is." Curt said, knealing down next to the bag. "You want to unveil it?" he asked the Gryffindor prefect with a grin, she did seem quite freaked out.

[Anna Banana]

Anna squirmed in her seat, looking back and forth between the professor, her prefect, and the...THING. The bag rustled again, and Anna jumped in her seat, knocking a book to the ground with a loud CRASH. Swallowing hard out of nervousness and sinking down into her chair, Anna stared at Kerry, trying to figure out what to do.

Anna was torn between wanting to yell out something about there being a furry creature in the bag and worried that she would cause her house to lose points if she did.

"Erm....the...bag...," Anna whispered, trying to draw Kerry's attention to the bag on the floor.

Kerry's heart was still racing, as she was readying herself to drop to the floor and search for whatever it was she was now sure brushed against her, when she heard Anna whisper something. "What?! What are you trying to tell me? What about my bag?" Kerry asked impatiently, her mind still racing.

Well hidden in the creature bag, he could ear that they were a scream and some sort of language between them but he had no clue what this was all about. Still feeling nervous of been found but starting to be tired of all this excitement, he stretches his little body making move the bag a little.

Kerry looked down at her bag cautiously. Suddenly it moved on it's own. Kerry jumped back again and gasped. "Did you see that? The bag! It moved! Did anyone see that? There's something in there! My bag is moving!" she cried out, glaring around the room to see who might have put something in her bag.

"You want to unveil it?" he asked the Gryffindor prefect with a grin, she did seem quite freaked out.

"I'm not revealing it. If you want something creepy and crawly to jump out at you, by all means go ahead." Kerry said to the Hufflepuff boy. She readied her wand at the bag just in case she needed to stun it in protection of herself or the boy.

Anna squirmed in her seat, looking back and forth between the professor, her prefect, and the...THING. The bag rustled again, and Anna jumped in her seat, knocking a book to the ground with a loud CRASH. Swallowing hard out of nervousness and sinking down into her chair, Anna stared at Kerry, trying to figure out what to do.

A loud CRASH made Kerry jump again. "For the love of...." Kerry began as she turned around flashing her wand behind her. "Oooh, it was just a book," Kerry began to laugh nervously as she realized how silly she was starting to look.

[PhoenixRising]

Amelia leaped around in her chair at the sound of her fellow prefect, Kerry, screaming. She didn't really want to lose points, but she was worried for her friend that it was something serious. Besides, Kerry wasn't usually the one to cause trouble; at least not during class. Scanning the floor and faces of the students, she looked around for the source of the commotion.

Then, a strange thing happened. The bag near where Kerry had been sitting, moved a little. She blinked and shook her head, thinking it was just an illusion. Right? Well, at least until Kerry had also saw the bag move.

"I saw it, Kerry," the sixth year said quietly.

[FoxFire]

Gwen stared at Kerry's bag, transfixed. "Maybe one of the kappas from the last lesson got loose."

[Loki]

Making loud screech in order to make the outside scream go away, he was tired of everything that was going on. All this is one day was way too much for him and at one point, he wanted a quiet time where he could sleep. This bag was as good as any, pushing one book outside the bag in order to have more place, he let out a sighed.

[Anna Banana]

"Professor! Professor!" Anna called out. "We have a problem...there's a...a...a something back here!"

Anna reached down to pick up her book that had landed near the creature. Kerry was now yelling, and several students had turned around to look. Gwen was going on about kappas, creatures Anna HOPED were not actually in the bag. Peering down for a closer look, Anna waited to see if the...whatever...would come out.

[D.A Forever]

Listening to the others around her and the Professor, Savannah jumped at the sound the Gryffindor Prefect let out, making a scribble mark on her parchment by mistake put didn't pay that any attention. Instead she gazed down at the ground near the Seventh years feet, looking to see if something was down there. Just like afew others, before Kerry said anything, she too noticed the bag moved abit. Not normal, to be honest. Not if the person it belonged to was freaking out.

"Yeah..it moved, your not seeing things Kerry." She spoke up quietly, not sure if that was wise since Professor Clark was teaching but nonetheless. What happened next? It SCREECHED! Ocean blue eyes widened. She knew that screech, it was the same as that crazy monkey from earlier. "I believe its a monkey, and he has taken over your bag." Savannah added, nodding. Better the monkey then the cheetah.

"Ok! Now I know I'm not the only one who heard that!" Kerry said aloud to the class. "There is definitely something there! I know there was nothing in that bag but some books, quills and parchment when I got here, so who wants to tell me what they put in here?" Kerry asked as she turned back and focused her wand on the bag.

"Professor! Professor!" Anna called out. "We have a problem...there's a...a...a something back here!"

Anna reached down to pick up her book that had landed near the creature. Kerry was now yelling, and several students had turned around to look. Gwen was going on about kappas, creatures Anna HOPED were not actually in the bag. Peering down for a closer look, Anna waited to see if the...whatever...would come out.

"A problem?" Kerry laughed, glad that she was finally starting to calm down. "Yeah you can call a screetching, moving bag a problem. Uh oh... Ummm..." Kerry suddenly thought, "You don't think it's one of those animals that has been running around the grounds and castle?"

Kerry bent down a bit closer to her bag, but was cautious not to get to close. "Should I open it Professor?" she asked.

[Anna Banana]

Anna continued to lean and lean and lean. She was finally face to face with the bag. She gently guided her hand closer and closer to the bag, pausing only to look at Kerry to check her reaction.

Anna's fingers finally touched the edge of the bag, and she tugged on it just a bit.

[Loki]

Throwing a quill outside the bag, he open a bottle of ink and stretched out his tiny hand in order to let out all his content on the floor and then throwing it away. As he did it, he touched something (Anna's hand) and a scream cames out of his mouth. Getting his hand back in, he was afraid that it would happen again. Only few things were left with him in there and he didn't mind them. They were a bit comfy after getting the reminding books out. Yawning with satisfaction, he rolled on the side.

[LadyNerd]

Okay! Lyra was happy now because the monkey was back. "Agie," she whispered loudly with a giggle. "Do you still have those bananas? Give me one!" She hoped that Agie hadn't eaten all the bananas from the time they left the lake to the time they had arrived in class otherwise, they would have to come up with Plan B and quick.

[shortfry]

Listening to the others around her and the Professor, Savannah jumped at the sound the Gryffindor Prefect let out, making a scribble mark on her parchment by mistake put didn't pay that any attention.

Ocean blue eyes widened. She knew that screech, it was the same as that crazy monkey from earlier. "I believe its a monkey, and he has taken over your bag." Savannah added, nodding. Better the monkey then the cheetah.

"A monkey?" Kerry asked turning quickly towards Savannah. "Are you sure?" Kerry laughed in surprise.

"How did a monkey get in my bag.? She wondered aloud.

Turning back towards the front of the class, Kerry shook her head still smirking. "I swear professor I didn't bring a monkey to class! If I had, I would have at least brought some bananas to keep it quiet til I let it loose on the class." Kerry joked trying to make light of the situation.

"So again? Any ideas on what you'd like me to do with this little guy? I'm obviously not opening my bag and letting him free now. It seems we've finally inadvertently captured one of these animals."

Anna continued to lean and lean and lean. She was finally face to face with the bag. She gently guided her hand closer and closer to the bag, pausing only to look at Kerry to check her reaction.

Anna's fingers finally touched the edge of the bag, and she tugged on it just a bit.

Seeing Anna get close to the bag and knowing there was a monkey now inside it. Kerry grabbed Anna and pulled her back. "No don't! From what I've heard this is one grumpy, unfriendly monkey. Trust me, you don't want to lose your nose to this thing."

[Anna Banana]

Anna let out a small squeal as she felt something touch her hand. The creature let out a small scream, as well, and Anna jumped a bit. Anna felt someone's hand on her back, and she looked up in time to see Kerry pulling her away. "Unfriendly?" Anna questioned. She looked back and forth between Kerry and the monkey, waiting to see what would happen next.

[Loki]

The bag did a turn on itself as the monkey was rolling in it. He had fun in it. It was like an amusement park inside of it. Deciding to munched on one of the parchment, he was now making squishing sound as he teeth was touching it.

[D.A Forever]

"Yep, definitely mister Monkey." Savannah nodded once more. After running into him twice earlier, she knew that screech. He had also bit the Professor, then too. Thinking of that, She added "I don't think letting him out is a good idea either; he seems to like it." Vannah motioned to the objects he was kicking out to make space for himself, "And I wouldn't think he wants to make friends, anyways. Except with Professor Clarks boots, maybe." Savannah turned slightly in her seat again, looking back to the front of the class for a moment uncertainly.

[Tommehbell]

Tommy was scribbling down notes like crazy. In her last school they didn't focus on magical creatures. This was all new to her. All she ever learned was magic.

She raised her hand, but being so short her hand didn't get past the top of the head of the boy sitting in front of her, so she stood up and raised her hand.

"Professor, I have read scrolls about sirens, and they said that sirens were woman, not mermaids." She didn't want to be out of line by questioning anything, but she didn't want to get confused on the whole thing either. "They said their voices had to power to lure men to their deaths."

[shortfry]

Throwing a quill outside the bag, he open a bottle of ink and stretched out his tiny hand in order to let out all his content on the floor and then throwing it away. As he did it, he touched something (Anna's hand) and a scream cames out of his mouth. Getting his hand back in, he was afraid that it would happen again. Only few things were left with him in there and he didn't mind them. They were a bit comfy after getting the reminding books out. Yawning with satisfaction, he rolled on the side.

As Kerry peered down at her bag, she saw the monkey throw a quill out the bag and ink slowly drip from it. "Hey! That's my favorite quill and OH NO you didn't you little fur ball!" Kerry yelled out "You opened my ink bottle all over my bag! Wait til I get my hands on you!" Kerry said, grabbing hold of the handles of her bag and holding them closed so the creature couldn't escape.


Okay! Lyra was happy now because the monkey was back. "Agie," she whispered loudly with a giggle. "Do you still have those bananas? Give me one!" She hoped that Agie hadn't eaten all the bananas from the time they left the lake to the time they had arrived in class otherwise, they would have to come up with Plan B and quick.

Kerry turned towards someone calling Agie's name and laughed. "And why would Agie carry bananas with her?" she asked as she turned towards Agie.

"Agie Rae Brandywine! You wouldn't have anything to do with this would you?' she asked glaring at her prankster of a sister.

Anna let out a small squeal as she felt something touch her hand. The creature let out a small scream, as well, and Anna jumped a bit. Anna felt someone's hand on her back, and she looked up in time to see Kerry pulling her away. "Unfriendly?" Anna questioned. She looked back and forth between Kerry and the monkey, waiting to see what would happen next.

Kerry heard Anna shriek and turned back towards her. This class had gone completely chaotic in a matter of minutes. "Yes unfriendly! It scratches and bites, it's one antisocial little thing." Kerry said holding her bag away from her so the monkey couldn't reach her through the bag.

The bag did a turn on itself as the monkey was rolling in it. He had fun in it. It was like an amusement park inside of it. Deciding to munched on one of the parchment, he was now making squishing sound as he teeth was touching it.

Kerry felt the bag roll in her outstretched hands. "This thing is having a party in here!" Kerry said as she heard munching. "Nooooo!! Not my homework!! The monkey is eating my homework." Kerry sighed, "That took me ages to finish! I can just see it now as I go to hand it in... No really Professor a monkey really did eat my homework!"

[Anna Banana]

Anna was torn between horror and laughter as she first listened to Kerry threaten the monkey for spilling the ink and then complain about it eating her homework. Anna sighed and dropped her head into her hands in exasperation.

Kerry had now captured the monkey and was holding it hostage inside her bag. The little monkey was surely putting up a fight, though. It was clawing and moving about in a wild manner. Anna hoped the professor would come and help soon.

[Loki]

Kicking with his tiny feet in the bag, the monkey was mad at the fact that someone was moving that bag other than him. Trying to throw out a half piece of parchment out of it, he was not able to do so since something seems to keep the exit shut which made him kicked even more.

[FoxFire]

Gwen laughed out loud. "I wonder who that is. After all, there aren't very many monkeys in the forest."

[shortfry]

Anna was torn between horror and laughter as she first listened to Kerry threaten the monkey for spilling the ink and then complain about it eating her homework. Anna sighed and dropped her head into her hands in exasperation.

Kerry heard a sigh behind her, turning she saw Anna with her head down on her desk. "It's not that bad really. At least this is just a grumpy monkey. You should have been in the class when snakes were accidently set free. I'll take a monkey over a snake any time!" Kerry said trying to cheer Anna up as she held the bag steadily trying to to let the monkey escape.

Kicking with his tiny feet in the bag, the monkey was mad at the fact that someone was moving that bag other than him. Trying to throw out a half piece of parchment out of it, he was not able to do so since something seems to keep the exit shut which made him kicked even more.

Kerry wanted so badly to just give the bag a good shake and teach the devious creature a good lesson. But seeing as she was a prefect and had caused a big enough scene in the class already, she just grabbed the handles tighter together and clenched her teeth, doing her best not to go after the squirming creature that had taken sanctuary in her bag.

[SlytherinSistah]

"I've also heard through muggle lure that Mermaids love to brush their long hair and look into hand mirrors. I read somewhere that a man can capture a mermaid, and make her his wife, by stealing her cherished possessions such as a cap, mirror, or brush. When he had her possesion, he had possesion of her. Pretty cruel, blackmailing someone into marriage, if you ask me. But that's a man for you." Kerry smirked.

Claudian was taking notes on what some of the other students were saying. He stopped dead in the middle of it when he heard Kerry's commentary on men, pouting slightly offended.


"I guess, too that they'd want to do this because it was believed that Mermaids made good wives and brought luck to the family - the descendents of mermaids are said to be very good looking and have the gift of prophecy. At the same time though I would venture capturing a mermaid to be a huge risk. I've heard they are very vengeful creatures. If you hurt them or anger them they'll seek vengence upon you and your family with floods and tidal waves. I don't know about you, but that's not a risk I'd be willing to take." Kerry laughed. "Leave it to a man to think of himself and try to kidnap a mermaid."

And, then she did it again! 'G'ah!' He was now, officially frightened of Prefect Brandywine. Until he heard her shriek. He turned around in his seat and watched as a chittering animal that some were saying was a monkey, which one way or another had gotten itself into Kerry's bag, had most of the students as his captive audience. Thank goodness it was only a monkey. He was starting to wonder if it might've been a dark creature snuck into the room by Clark himself to give the students first hand experience.



"In Asia, they say the mermaid is not as a personality but a part of nature, like a storm or an animal. But in Africa there are tales of Mami Wata, the African Mermaid Goddess. She appears as a mermaid, and sometimes splashes about in the water at the end of a rainbow after a heavy storm... she takes people away to her land beneath the water. These people are transformed by the experience. When they return to earth they are different, serene and strangely remote from the world around them. They are more beautiful and have become wealthy. She also appears to people in dreams, counseling them or granting them wealth, good health and children. She also denies children to her favourite women and they are said to be her land-dwelling representatives... so very beautiful but barren women are often called Mami Wata in Africa."

Oh, she was going to fit right in with his grandmother and aunts.

[Droo]

"I heard that if you catch one, they make great sushi, and one of the best aphrodisiacs known to wizard-kind..." She looked at the other students and blushed... "I read it somewhere!"

[XanaSnape]

Xana looked at her and made a face. "As they are humanoid in nature, wouldn't that make you a cannibal?" No surprise there, though, really. Everyone knew Trel was a man-eater.

[Loki]

Bitting the bag in order to try an opening, he was wondering if he could make it through. They were no way he was staying quiet and not fight back. At one point, he was going to get out and runs away but the one problem was how.

[SlytherinSistah]

"I heard that if you catch one, they make great sushi, and one of the best aphrodisiacs known to wizard-kind..." She looked at the other students and blushed... "I read it somewhere!"

Turning his head to catch his prefects words...'did she just say?'... . He shut his eyes and wondered where she could've read that as he thoroughly wanted to retch. 'Mermaid meat...m'mmmmm!'


Bitting the bag in order to try an opening, he was wondering if he could make it through. They were no way he was staying quiet and not fight back. At one point, he was going to get out and runs away but the one problem was how.

He stood alert watching Kerry's bag punch and wiggle, scared for a minute that what was inside might just break free.

[Blackwidow]

Professor Clark was too mesmerized by the topic of mermaids and collecting different student theories when a commotion and certain dallying started at one end of the classroom, completely disarming him from addressing students and answering their question. Oh that annoyed him.

"Pardon me" he excused the collective student that were actually paying attention to his lesson, then directed his now furious eyes towards the disordered students.

"OY!" he called loudly, "mind to elaborate on why your screeching like merpeople above the wave, way in the back, because i certainly haven't brought any to class".

[Anna Banana]

Hearing a number of other students try to get back on track and concentrate on the lesson, Anna decided to add some extra input. "To add to what I said a few minutes ago, merpeople have this charm that attracts members of the opposite sex. Mermen are said to be very protective of mermaids, too," Anna explained, eyeing Kerry's bag just a little.

Anna then realized the professor had addressed their little group, so she got really quite...while her eyes widened in horror once again.

Anna turned towards Kerry, waiting for her to explain.

[Seeker_Seven]

Tag, having no interest in sirens or mermaids whatsoever, had been secretly dozing behind a book in the back of class when the commotion roused him from a dream (one in which he was being slaughtered bloodily by a raging cheetah).

"Hey!," he yelled with a start. "Hey, it's that monkey! Be careful! Don't shake the bag, you'll freak him out and he'll go king kong on your footwear." Tag almost said 'my' monkey, but if the creature really was a student he wasn't sure how the student would feel about that.

[shortfry]

Bitting the bag in order to try an opening, he was wondering if he could make it through. They were no way he was staying quiet and not fight back. At one point, he was going to get out and runs away but the one problem was how.

Kerry felt the bag began to move again. "You're a persistant little thing aren't you." Kerry said as she shook the bag to try to settle it down. That's when she noticed the monkey trying to chew it's way through her bag. "Enough already! You've destroyed my books, my homework, my parchements and quill...do you really need to eat my bag, too?" Kerry said as she poked the bag with her wand. "Don't make me use this on you..." she began to threaten as she heard Professor Clark question her.

"No. No mermaid Professor... Although something tells me if there was one, it would be a lot nice than this thing," Kerry muttered, as she shook the bag again in frustration.

"It seems a monkey has joined our class today. It must have heard your classes are amazing and it wanted to see for itself." Kerry laughed, shaking her head.

"Seriously though... this thing just came out of nowhere an made itself a home in my bag. It's already eaten my homework, thrown my quills out and has gone swimming in my ink Professor! Would I lose points if I ready hexed the little thing." Kerry asked as she glared back at her bag. "Not that I would of course..." she smirked said, realizing how cruel that sounded.

"So ummm... what exactly do I do about this anyway? There's no way I'm letting this thing free. And it won't be long til it sets itself free, Professor. It's already beginning to chew through my bag!"

[Loki]

Hearing the voice of the creature that had feed him earlier, he wanted to get out and to go near him. He would probably be safer there than in here. Taking a good bite on the bag hoping he will touch the things that was holding him here, he kept bashing with his tiny hands over and over again.

[Droo]

Xana looked at her and made a face. "As they are humanoid in nature, wouldn't that make you a cannibal?" No surprise there, though, really. Everyone knew Trel was a man-eater.

"Not if you eat the fishy parts!" Really Venefica was driving her nuts! Couldn't she just leave? "Also in Japanese lure if a human eats the flesh of the mermaids (the fishy part), they either become immortal, or they are transformed into monsters themselves called 'lost souls' or the 'poisoned.' This transformation is permanent."

[shortfry]

Tag, having no interest in sirens or mermaids whatsoever, had been secretly dozing behind a book in the back of class when the commotion roused him from a dream (one in which he was being slaughtered bloodily by a raging cheetah).

"Hey!," he yelled with a start. "Hey, it's that monkey! Be careful! Don't shake the bag, you'll freak him out and he'll go king kong on your footwear." Tag almost said 'my' monkey, but if the creature really was a student he wasn't sure how the student would feel about that.



"Oh sure...now you tell me. Thanks Tag! You couldn't tell me this sooner?" Kerry said sarcastically as she immediately stopped shaking the bag, and held it as far away from her as she could, her hands still tightly gripped on the handles.

As Tag spoke up, the monkey seemed to get even more excited. Kerry looked at the bag and then back to Tag. "I think it likes you." Kerry laughed. "As soon as it heard your voice it started going crazy. Just look at the thing going!" Kerry said as she held up the bag and watched it shake as the monkey tried to bite and claw it's way out.

Fabian was waiting for a response from that collective group when out of no where the Ravenclaw captain started yelling about a monkey. Fabian muttered and cursed under his breath along the lines of "everyone is doomed" and "your all gone bloody mental" when it came to him that Tag as referring to a monkey.

A monkey.

"Bloody rotten luck" he barked, and stormed down the asile and it cleared upon him what the shaking reference was all about.

"No. No mermaid Professor... Although something tells me if there was one, it would be a lot nice than this thing," Kerry muttered, as she shook the bag again in frustration.

"It seems a monkey has joined our class today. It must have heard your classes are amazing and it wanted to see for itself." Kerry laughed, shaking her head.

"So ummm... what exactly do I do about this anyway? There's no way I'm letting this thing free. And it won't be long til it sets itself free, Professor. It's already beginning to chew through my bag!"

"I bloody well know there wasn't a mermaid in my class" he gritted out, "I'm very confident of my sanity" he looked down at the shaking bag. He shuddered.

"I'm afraid you would lose points kerry if you stunned it, but since the monkey came to enjoy our class, we can cage it in?" his lips twirled into a menacing smile, of course he could think of one hundred and one things to do to this monkey after class. Until then, those thoughts must be frozen.

Clark waved his wand at the windows, shuttering them close. "I'll get a cage from my office, meantime, you make sure this monkey stays in this classroom and try not to use wands on him" his eyes darted towards Tag, "use bananas".

He turned around and stormed out of the classroom closing the door behind him.

[PhoenixRising]

"I heard that if you catch one, they make great sushi, and one of the best aphrodisiacs known to wizard-kind..." She looked at the other students and blushed... "I read it somewhere!"

Amelia tried not to snicker as Trelawney suggested eating merpeople. Honestly, that girl had some serious issues. Read it somewhere? The insanity magazine doesn't count...

Her attention shifted to the commotion in the back of the room and the next thing she knew, Fabian had left to get a cage for the 'monkey'.

[Em's the Game]

Tag, having no interest in sirens or mermaids whatsoever, had been secretly dozing behind a book in the back of class when the commotion roused him from a dream (one in which he was being slaughtered bloodily by a raging cheetah).

"Hey!," he yelled with a start. "Hey, it's that monkey! Be careful! Don't shake the bag, you'll freak him out and he'll go king kong on your footwear." Tag almost said 'my' monkey, but if the creature really was a student he wasn't sure how the student would feel about that.

Kemma, sitting two chairs over from Tag, sniggered loudly.

"I bloody well know there wasn't a mermaid in my class" he gritted out, "I'm very confident of my sanity" he looked down at the shaking bag. He shuddered.

"I'm afraid you would lose points kerry if you stunned it, but since the monkey came to enjoy our class, we can cage it in?" his lips twirled into a menacing smile, of course he could think of one hundred and one things to do to this monkey after class. Until then, those thoughts must be frozen.

Clark waved his wand at the windows, shuttering them close. "I'll get a cage from my office, meantime, you make sure this monkey stays in this classroom and try not to use wands on him" his eyes darted towards Tag, "use bananas".

He turned around and stormed out of the classroom closing the door behind him.
Professor wasn't having a very good day, Kemma surmised. And now they were going to try to capture the monkey again? With the Professor's luck he'd be wearing a live monkey hat before it was all over. Kemma's twinkling eyes slid over to exchange a humorous look with Tag.

[LadyNerd]

Lyra's ears perked up as she heard Fabian say cages. "Run Josh! Cages!" She could not have another outburst of placing him in another cage. Last time was just too much for her and thank goodness he actually still talked to her after that little crazy incident produced by her uncle.

"I bloody well know there wasn't a mermaid in my class" he gritted out, "I'm very confident of my sanity" he looked down at the shaking bag. He shuddered.

"I'm afraid you would lose points kerry if you shook it, but since the monkey came to enjoy our class, we can cage it in?" his lips twirled into a menacing smile, of course he could think of one hundred and one things to do to this monkey after class. Until then, those thoughts must be frozen.

He turned around and stormed out of the classroom closing the door behind him.

"Well I'm glad somone has their sanity, cause I thought I was losing mine!" Kerry said as she stood there holding the bag closed. "And what do you mean I would have lost points? I caught the monkey! Well sort of anyway." Kerry shrugged. "But still, Gryffindor should get points for that!" Kerry grinned.

"Wait! You're leaving to get the cage? Can't we just summon it here?" Kerry gasped. As she muttered to herself, "Oh yes...make sure he doesn't go anywhere, no problem...let's just hope he hasn't chewed through my bag by then."

[Seeker_Seven]

Tag's eyes were glued to Kerry's bag, which was rustling and shaking vigorously in her grip. "I gave him fruit before," he explained. "Monkeys have voice recognition, like babies. He probably thinks I have more food." Tearing his eyes away, Tag quickly ripped open his messenger bag and started rummaging recklessly. A few quills went flying, one of them sticking itself in Claudian's shoe.

After a few moments, Tag produced a small bag of Jarvey-Jiggles, three caramels, a stale pumpkin scone, and a single licorice wand. "Here," he picked out the Jarvey-Jiggles. "These are made from fruit. See if he wants one."

His hopeful eyes flickered up to Kemma's. Maybe the potions won't work and I'll get to keep him. Maybe mum will let me keep a monkey if it's potty-trained!

[Loki]

The monkey was now making crying sound. He wanted to get out at all cost. What was doing the nice creature (Tag) and why wasn't he getting him out of there. Trying to make lamenting sound in order to make them open the bag, he stop bagging all over the place.

[*JoshMoonson*]

Lyra's ears perked up as she heard Fabian say cages. "Run Josh! Cages!" She could not have another outburst of placing him in another cage. Last time was just too much for her and thank goodness he actually still talked to her after that little crazy incident produced by her uncle.

Josh moved to bust out laughing as he manged to shield some of it into a cough.oh... cages. wouldnt lyra just love to have him in one of those right now.

"Well I'm glad somone has their sanity, cause I thought I was losing mine!" Kerry said as she stood there holding the bag closed. "And what do you mean I would have lost points? I caught the monkey! Well sort of anyway." Kerry shrugged. "But still, Gryffindor should get points for that!" Kerry grinned.

"Wait! You're leaving to get the cage? Can't we just summon it here?" Kerry gasped. As she muttered to herself, "Oh yes...make sure he doesn't go anywhere, no problem...let's just hope he hasn't chewed through my bag by then."

Oh no!! fabian was going to put kids into the cages!!! yet again. Josh jumped out of his chair and rushed over to kerry." Kerry!!! What did you do to upset the bear?!" he then took her hand and yanked her towards the shaded area of the classroom." What did you do?! He is going to stick you into a cage too." he said then moving to look around the area where the big bad bear had left. he looked back at her seriously as he spoke." we have to get you out of here. You know any short cuts...oh yeah by the way you have a nice firebolt. it flies nice."

[shortfry]

Tag's eyes were glued to Kerry's bag, which was rustling and shaking vigorously in her grip. "I gave him fruit before," he explained. "Monkeys have voice recognition, like babies. He probably thinks I have more food." Tearing his eyes away, Tag quickly ripped open his messenger bag and started rummaging recklessly. A few quills went flying, one of them sticking itself in Claudian's shoe.

After a few moments, Tag produced a small bag of Jarvey-Jiggles, three caramels, a stale pumpkin scone, and a single licorice wand. "Here," he picked out the Jarvey-Jiggles. "These are made from fruit. See if he wants one."

His hopeful eyes flickered up to Kemma's. Maybe the potions won't work and I'll get to keep him. Maybe mum will let me keep a monkey if it's potty-trained!


"I'd love to give it to him," Kerry said as she took the fruit from Tag, "But if I let it free, it's going to wreak havoc on this classroom. Maybe we should wait for the cage first..."

The monkey was now making crying sound. He wanted to get out at all cost. What was doing the nice creature (Tag) and why wasn't he getting him out of there. Trying to make lamenting sound in order to make them open the bag, he stop bagging all over the place.


With the sound of Tag's voice the monkey began to cry and wriggle even more, making it more difficult for Kerry to keep hold of the bag.

"I think it wants you. Here..." Kerry said as she held the bag out for Tag to take. "Let's see what happens when you take the bag." Kerry said out of curiousity. "Anything's got to be better than listening to this squealing."

Josh moved to bust out laughing as he manged to shield some of it into a cough.oh... cages. wouldnt lyra just love to have him in one of those right now.

Oh no!! fabian was going to put kids into the cages!!! yet again. Josh jumped out of his chair and rushed over to kerry." Kerry!!! What did you do to upset the bear?!" he then took her hand and yanked her towards the shaded area of the classroom." What did you do?!

You know any short cuts...oh yeah by the way you have a nice firebolt. it flies nice."

As Kerry held the bag out towards Tag, she heard a commotion behind her. She saw Josh ranting and raving and looked at him in confusion, "What are you carrying on about? Why would a Professor stick me in a cage? And what do you mean my firebolt flies nicely...what would you know about that? Have you completely lost your mind?"

[Seeker_Seven]

Tag accepted the bag excitedly from Kerry, then held it gently close to his body so the monkey wouldn't be dangling. Perhaps the warmth and solidity of his fabulous abs would help the creature feel more secure. "Hey buddy," he crooned. "Remember me? Banana boy? Yeah, you know me."

He glanced up in surprise. It seemed it wasn't only the monkey that had gone berserk. "Whoa there, Josh," he cautioned. "Those are some pretty serious allegations, you know. . . kids getting put in cages." Well. Kids that were not currently in the form of wild animals.

Still holding the lumpy bag close, Tag turned slowly to look at Kemma and put one finger up near his ear, making the universal sign for "the candles are lit, but nobody's home".

[SlytherinSistah]

Tag's eyes were glued to Kerry's bag, which was rustling and shaking vigorously in her grip. "I gave him fruit before," he explained. "Monkeys have voice recognition, like babies. He probably thinks I have more food." Tearing his eyes away, Tag quickly ripped open his messenger bag and started rummaging recklessly.

His hopeful eyes flickered up to Kemma's. Maybe the potions won't work and I'll get to keep him. Maybe mum will let me keep a monkey if it's potty-trained!


Claudian saw, watched every second of it, as the quill went flying into the air and stabbed into the toe of his foot. He was stunned for a minute, and then...The Mumbuto stomp.

"GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!" The large boy was soon flailing with the soul of ten Smokey Robinsons trying to get the quill out of his shoe and looking towards someone, anyone for help.

[*JoshMoonson*]

As Kerry held the bag out towards Tag, she heard a commotion behind her. She saw Josh ranting and raving and looked at him in confusion, "What are you carrying on about? Why would a Professor stick me in a cage? And what do you mean my firebolt flies nicely...what would you know about that? Have you completely lost your mind?"

Josh looked at her as she asked if he was mental." I wasnt the one playing with a monkey!" he sighed as he then added," why dont you feed it chocolate.. it worked with the other one." he really was just trying to save her." Fabian is going to get cages...he will probably stick you in one too!! he didnt look very happy.. with all those points happy rampage he was going on." he then heard her question about her broom. "uh... nevermind. i just borrowed it a few days ago. its a nice broom."

He glanced up in surprise. It seemed it wasn't only the monkey that had gone berserk. "Whoa there, Josh," he cautioned. "Those are some pretty serious allegations, you know. . . kids getting put in cages." Well. Kids that were not currently in the form of wild animals.

"what! Allegations..Fabian puts kids in cages. i know.. i was there." psh this kid had no idea what the bear was capable of." yeah go back and play with your monkey." he told him as he wasnt there for the traumatizing event.

[XanaSnape]

Xana moved over to Claudian, avoiding his crazy Haitian dance and rolling her eyes inwardly. Honestly... It was just a quill, for crying out loud. She reached down and pulled it out of his shoe. "There, baby. All better." But don't for a minute think I'm going to kiss your foot to make the boo-boo better. she thought, smirking.

[Mell]

Claudian saw, watched every second of it, as the quill went flying into the air and stabbed into the toe of his foot. He was stunned for a minute, and then...The Mumbuto stomp.

"GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!" The large boy was soon flailing with the soul of ten Smokey Robinsons trying to get the quill out of his shoe and looking towards someone, anyone for help.


Kayla couldn't help laughing at Claudian as she watched Xana remove the quill from his foot. "Honestly Claudian all that commotion over a little quill" Kayla said still giggling.

[Loki]

Trying to push through the opening of the bag, the first thing he saw was clothes and then he recognized the face. This was the nice creature one, the one who gaved him banana. Climbing on him, he tried to hide in his shirt. Maybe in there it will be safer.

[Seeker_Seven]

Tag gasped as the creature climbed into his shirt (no doubt to get closer to admire his his well-defined six-pack). "Ohhh, cold," he croaked, as the tiny hands and feet crawled all over him. "Whoa. . . eeeeeeee!" he tried not to squeak too loudly, which would scare the monkey. Holy cow, had this fellow been ice-skating barefoot?

He turned to Kerry. "Kerry! I've got a monkey in my blazer!" He desperately wanted to say 'pants' and follow it up with 'and made me do the boogie dance', but he supposed that wasn't cool for a seventeen year old.

[SlytherinSistah]

Xana moved over to Claudian, avoiding his crazy Haitian dance and rolling her eyes inwardly. Honestly... It was just a quill, for crying out loud. She reached down and pulled it out of his shoe. "There, baby. All better." But don't for a minute think I'm going to kiss your foot to make the boo-boo better. she thought, smirking.

"Thank you, Cheri!" He uttered a relieved sigh.


Kayla couldn't help laughing at Claudian as she watched Xana remove the quill from his foot. "Honestly Claudian all that commotion over a little quill" Kayla said still giggling.



"Thank you, my dear!" Where would he be without these two heroic young ladies.

Josh looked at her as she asked if he was mental." I wasnt the one playing with a monkey!" he sighed as he then added," why dont you feed it chocolate.. it worked with the other one." he really was just trying to save her." Fabian is going to get cages...he will probably stick you in one too!! he didnt look very happy.. with all those points happy rampage he was going on." he then heard her question about her broom.

"what! Allegations..Fabian puts kids in cages. i know.. i was there." psh this kid had no idea what the bear was capable of." yeah go back and play with your monkey." he told him as he wasnt there for the traumatizing event.

Claudian couldn't help find himself being somewhat disgusted as Moonson started mouthing off to the Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain. First holding his concert during their premier game, now this...had he no respect at all for the game of Quidditch?

[SweetAussie]

Okay! Lyra was happy now because the monkey was back. "Agie," she whispered loudly with a giggle. "Do you still have those bananas? Give me one!" She hoped that Agie hadn't eaten all the bananas from the time they left the lake to the time they had arrived in class otherwise, they would have to come up with Plan B and quick.

OMG!!!! It was the monkey. Agie looked for Lyra and started giggling. She reached into her bag and handed her a banana, and got another one for herself. "i hope this works. If not, I'm giving up on the monkey and going after the cheetah."





Kerry turned towards someone calling Agie's name and laughed. "And why would Agie carry bananas with her?" she asked as she turned towards Agie.

"Agie Rae Brandywine! You wouldn't have anything to do with this would you?' she asked glaring at her prankster of a sister.




Agie turned and giggled with Lyra and then faced Kerry. "We were hungry." She smirked. "I have nothing to do with it." She grinned. "I promised Fabian to be on my best behaviour."

[shortfry]

Tag accepted the bag excitedly from Kerry, then held it gently close to his body so the monkey wouldn't be dangling. Perhaps the warmth and solidity of his fabulous abs would help the creature feel more secure. "Hey buddy," he crooned. "Remember me? Banana boy? Yeah, you know me."

He glanced up in surprise. It seemed it wasn't only the monkey that had gone berserk. "Whoa there, Josh," he cautioned. "Those are some pretty serious allegations, you know. . . kids getting put in cages." Well. Kids that were not currently in the form of wild animals.

Still holding the lumpy bag close, Tag turned slowly to look at Kemma and put one finger up near his ear, making the universal sign for "moving staircase gets stuck halfway".



Kerry had to admit she was a bit relieved to get the bag out of her hands. "Oh well, I didn't need any of the stuff in there anyway. School work and N.E.W.T's are soooo overrated anyway. Think I can use a monkey ate my homework and books as an excuse to get me out out of any of this?" Kerry chuckled as she shook her head. "Better you than me right now. I was two seconds away from strangling that thing." Kerry said as she watched the bag settle.

"So who knew Tag had a thing for monkeys? Maybe he can help you in the consolation game. You think the Huffies would know the difference?" Kerry laughed

Josh looked at her as she asked if he was mental." I wasnt the one playing with a monkey!" he sighed as he then added," why dont you feed it chocolate.. it worked with the other one." he really was just trying to save her." Fabian is going to get cages...he will probably stick you in one too!! he didnt look very happy.. with all those points happy rampage he was going on." he then heard her question about her broom. "uh... nevermind. i just borrowed it a few days ago. its a nice broom."

As Josh continued ranting, Kerry turned back towards him and rolled her eyes. "What do you mean playing with a monkey? I didn't bring this bloody thing to class! I have no idea how it got here." Kerry said in annoyed tone. "Maybe Fabian needs to stick you in a cage and relieve you of your hysterics! Or perhaps I will put you in there if you don't start talking and tell me why you had my broom!" Kerry glared, as she learned of this for the first time.

Tag gasped as the creature climbed into his shirt (no doubt to get closer to admire his his well-defined six-pack). "Ohhh, cold," he croaked, as the tiny hands and feet crawled all over him. "Whoa. . . eeeeeeee!" he tried not to squeak too loudly, which would scare the monkey. Holy cow, had this fellow been ice-skating barefoot?

He turned to Kerry. "Kerry! I've got a monkey in my blazer!" He desperately wanted to say 'pants' and follow it up with 'and made me do the boogie dance', but he supposed that wasn't cool for a seventeen year old.



Kerry's attention was drawn back to Tag quickly as he gasped. She tried to keep a straight face as she watched Tag squirm. "What would you like me to do? Go in there and get it?! Ummm... I'm afraid you're on you're own on that one." Kerry said as she burst out in laughter.



Agie turned and giggled with Lyra and then faced Kerry. "We were hungry." She smirked. "I have nothing to do with it." She grinned. "I promised Fabian to be on my best behaviour."

Kerry heard her sister laughing behind her. "Well that was a delayed reaction." Kerry gasped in between giggles. "Just because you promised to be on your best behavior, doesn't mean you fulfilled that promise." Kerry grinned. "I know how hard it is for you to stay out of trouble no matter how much you promise. Besides... the bananas make you seem pretty guilty here." Kerry said as she began laughing again. For some reason she just couldn't be mad at the situation that had unfolded. She was actually having too much fun.

[Mell]

"Thank you, my dear!" Where would he be without these two heroic young ladies.


"Anytime Mr Slughorn, but I didn't do anything" Kayla said with a chuckle. She turned her attention back to the class, which quite frankly was going downhill with the introduction of the monkey, but hey she was all up for the excitment.

[Loki]

The monkey was wondering why the creature was acting strangely all of a sudden. This wasn't something he was expecting but then again, he had no clue how he would react. Deciding to get out of his shirt and to go closer to his face, he watches him with in interrogating looks. Where was the food? Making a series of sound as he tried to communicate with him, the monkey was unsure that he would understand him.

[Seeker_Seven]

"Well, they'd have to, considering all the weird things that have been going on this term," Tag snickered, not so much from his comment but because the monkey had put his cold fingers in his armpit. "Agie, how about one of those bananas? I think he's hungry. Maybe we can train him to ride a broom. Do you suppose Hufflepuff could tell the difference?"

Tag turned, arms out stiff. "Hey Claud'! I have a new member for our Gentlemen's Society. I have a feeling he's got better manners than most of the students." He intentionally didn't look at Josh.

ooc: I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow!
WHO JUST GAVE ME THAT TAG?!?!?

[*JoshMoonson*]

Tag gasped as the creature climbed into his shirt (no doubt to get closer to admire his his well-defined six-pack). "Ohhh, cold," he croaked, as the tiny hands and feet crawled all over him. "Whoa. . . eeeeeeee!" he tried not to squeak too loudly, which would scare the monkey. Holy cow, had this fellow been ice-skating barefoot?

He turned to Kerry. "Kerry! I've got a monkey in my blazer!" He desperately wanted to say 'pants' and follow it up with 'and made me do the boogie dance', but he supposed that wasn't cool for a seventeen year old.




As Josh continued ranting, Kerry turned back towards him and rolled her eyes. "What do you mean playing with a monkey? I didn't bring this bloody thing to class! I have no idea how it got here." Kerry said in annoyed tone. "Maybe Fabian needs to stick you in a cage and relieve you of your hysterics! Or perhaps I will put you in there if you don't start talking and tell me why you had my broom!" Kerry glared, as she learned of this for the first time.



Kerry's attention was drawn back to Tag quickly as he gasped. She tried to keep a straight face as she watched Tag squirm. "What would you like me to do? Go in there and get it?! Ummm... I'm afraid you're on you're own on that one." Kerry said as she burst out in laughter.


Josh eyed her as she was wanting to put him into a cage. Not again. He didnt deserve the first one and didnt deserve what she was talking about. He looked over to see agie trying to get the monkey's attention with a banana. Trouble one and two were at their games again." Im just trying to save you from a cage kerry. I borrowed your broom after the quidditch game because someone was exhausted and needed to go to the hospital wing. I didnt have a broom with me and agie let me borrow yours." flying through hogwarts was fun.

ooc: -points at rhea-
ooc: -points at khat-
ooc: -pokes the big bad bear-

[shortfry]

Kerry realized she still had the food Tag had given her. Looking at Agie, she smirked. "Hmmm... you want to make up for this," Kerry asked her sister, still not believing her that she brought the monkey in, she held out her hand, "Here, Tag said something about the monkey liking these fruits here. Why don't you help poor Tag there, by distracting the monkey with some of these." Kerry said handing Agie the fruits. "Watch out though... keep your hand very flat. I've heard this thing bites. I'd hate to see you lose a finger or two before the big game." Kerry chuckled.

"I'd do it, but I think I've had enough of that little devil for one day, besides that - I have to admit I'm enjoying watching Tag dance around like this. It's rather amusing." Kerry laughed.

[LadyNerd]

OMG!!!! It was the monkey. Agie looked for Lyra and started giggling. She reached into her bag and handed her a banana, and got another one for herself. "i hope this works. If not, I'm giving up on the monkey and going after the cheetah."




Agie turned and giggled with Lyra and then faced Kerry. "We were hungry." She smirked. "I have nothing to do with it." She grinned. "I promised Fabian to be on my best behaviour."

Lyra giggled at Agie as she spoke to her sister...one she had never met before. "I'd say you were on your best behavior at the moment, Agie, and I am proud but..." she turned her attention to Kerry who now spoke of placing Josh in a cage. "I dare say that, he will not last in a cage again...or at least I don't think he will." She had enough from Fabian the other day with the caging of Josh and Christian but now another student wanted to do the same...oh geez! "Somebody better tell her about her broom," Lyra whispered to herself as her head hit the table.

[SweetAussie]

"Well, they'd have to, considering all the weird things that have been going on this term," Tag snickered, not so much from his comment but because the monkey had put his cold fingers in his armpit. "Agie, how about one of those bananas? I think he's hungry. Maybe we can train him to ride a broom. Do you suppose Hufflepuff could tell the difference?"

Tag turned, arms out stiff. "Hey Claud'! I have a new member for our Gentlemen's Society. I have a feeling he's got better manners than most of the students." He intentionally didn't look at Josh.

ooc: I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow!
WHO JUST GAVE ME THAT TAG?!?!?

Agie looked at Tags as she heard her name, and then back at the banana. "Sorry, but there are for me and Lyra only. But, I'll feed it to the monkey." She grinned, knowing Lyra would kill her if she gave the banana's up. Agie help out the banana for the monkey to eat.

Agie giggled at tags comment. "Oo that's a good idea. He be a great playing on your team. No one would even notice the difference. " She smirked. "he'd blend in with your team AND he'd be better than any of the Hufflepuff players" Agie, looking at Josh with a grin.

Kerry realized she still had the food Tag had given her. Looking at Agie, she smirked. "Hmmm... you want to make up for this," Kerry asked her sister, still not believing her that she brought the monkey in, she held out her hand, "Here, Tag said something about the monkey liking these fruits here. Why don't you help poor Tag there, by distracting the monkey with some of these." Kerry said handing Agie the fruits. "Watch out though... keep your hand very flat. I've heard this thing bites.

"I'd do it, but I think I've had enough of that little devil for one day, besides that - I have to admit I'm enjoying watching Tag dance around like this. It's rather amusing." Kerry laughed.

Agie grabbed the fruits off Kerry. "Thanks!" She grinned, surprised that Kerry was actually helping her get to the monkey. "I know, I'll be careful of my precious hands." She laughed.

Lyra giggled at Agie as she spoke to her sister...one she had never met before. "I'd say you were on your best behavior at the moment, Agie, and I am proud but..." she turned her attention to Kerry who now spoke of placing Josh in a cage. "I dare say that, he will not last in a cage again...or at least I don't think he will." She had enough from Fabian the other day with the caging of Josh and Christian but now another student wanted to do the same...oh geez! "Somebody better tell her about her broom," Lyra whispered to herself as her head hit the table.


Agie nodded proudly at Lyra. "I know, it's been hard too." She laughed. "She wont lock Josh up." Agie smirked. "Erm... I don't think she needs to know about her broom." She giggled.

"Look Lyra...She gave me the fruits he likes." Age handed her some and then help her and out offering it to the monkey. In one hand she had the banana and the other she had the fruits, "Hey monkey, are you hungry, I have some yummy food."

[Loki]

The monkey eyes widen when he noticed that they were food that he could have. Leaving the creature for just a bit, he sat down on the desk while trying to figure out how to get them. Up on his feet having his tail behind him, balancing. He took one step closer but looked at her in a unsecured way. Those fruits were looking very good.

Up on his feet having his tail behind him, balancing. He took one step closer but looked at her in a unsecured way. Those fruits were looking very good.

Agie giggled softly at the monkeys reaction. He was just so cute. She put a fruit on the floor and then took a few steps back. "I wont hurt you Mr. Monkey." She said, sitting on the floor, with her hands still stretched out. Hopefully he'll eat the one on the floor and then trust her.

[LadyNerd]

Agie looked at Tags as she heard her name, and then back at the banana. "Sorry, but there are for me and Lyra only. But, I'll feed it to the monkey." She grinned, knowing Lyra would kill her if she gave the banana's up. Agie help out the banana for the monkey to eat.

"Look Lyra...She gave me the fruits he likes." Age handed her some and then help her and out offering it to the monkey. In one hand she had the banana and the other she had the fruits, "Hey monkey, are you hungry, I have some yummy food."

Lyra lifted her head as Agie began to speak. "Hey! Watch it! You have a Hufflepuff sitting right next to you," her eyes darted to Agie and then she began to giggle. Oh that broom ride was fun thru the school but Agie was right once more, no one needed to know...or at least at that point they didn't.

"Oh let me see some of the fruit," Lyra spoke as she was just about to reach for a piece when the monkey showed up.

The monkey eyes widen when he noticed that they were food that he could have. Leaving the creature for just a bit, he sat down on the desk while trying to figure out how to get them. Up on his feet having his tail behind him, balancing. He took one step closer but looked at her in a unsecured way. Those fruits were looking very good.

Deciding not to move another inch, Lyra's eyes widened as she began to talk out of the side of her mouth. "You feed the monkey and I will watch. No sense in scaring him off right now." She watched with gleeful eyes as he was doing a cute little balancing act with his tail. "He's soooo cute," she whispered, still staying still enough to not run him off.

[Loki]

Taking a glanced from her to the fruit and back and forward, he wasn't sure he was understanding her. Those creatures had a rather strange way to communicate with each other and he was wondering if he could take a chance. His stomach seems to have more control over him since he jumped down the desk and took the fruits in his hand. As he took a bite, he felt all the flavor coming down his mouth and he squeak of pleasure.

[SweetAussie]

Lyra lifted her head as Agie began to speak. "Hey! Watch it! You have a Hufflepuff sitting right next to you," her eyes darted to Agie and then she began to giggle. Oh that broom ride was fun thru the school but Agie was right once more, no one needed to know...or at least at that point they didn't.

"Oh let me see some of the fruit," Lyra spoke as she was just about to reach for a piece when the monkey showed up.

Deciding not to move another inch, Lyra's eyes widened as she began to talk out of the side of her mouth. "You feed the monkey and I will watch. No sense in scaring him off right now." She watched with gleeful eyes as he was doing a cute little balancing act with his tail. "He's soooo cute," she whispered, still staying still enough to not run him off.

Agie smiled at Lyra. "Yes but you are not a quidditch player, so it was no offence to you silly." She giggled. "We'll have another broom ride." She said in a whisper. This time they'd go through the forbidden Forrest, Agie smiled to herself.


Agie gave her some fruit and nodded at what she was saying. 'I know, I just want to squeeze him." She said softly.


Taking a glanced from her to the fruit and back and forward, he wasn't sure he was understanding her. Those creatures had a rather strange way to communicate with each other and he was wondering if he could take a chance. His stomach seems to have more control over him since he jumped down the desk and took the fruits in his hand. As he took a bite, he felt all the flavor coming down his mouth and he squeak of pleasure.


Agie glanced over at Lyra when the monkey ate the fruit. He seemed to love it. "Did you like that? I have more over here." She giggled, showing him her hands full of fruit. He would have to come and get them off her this time.

[Loki]

Licking now is tiny hands since the fruit was all in his tummy. He was still looking for some more. One of those weren't enough to fill up his tummy. Glancing at the creature and making sound to her to let her know that he wanted more of those. By the looks of it, he wasn't going to get them as easy. Making a pouting face as he was hoping to get them without going close, he took a step closer but still was frighting by her. He decided to wait for a bit just in case.

Agie sighed, she wanted the monkey to come. But he has a sad look on his face. Agie rolled a piece of fruit over to him, it was a lot closer to her than the other one.

[Loki]

The monkey crawled toward the piece of fruit that she had put on the floor. He was still eyesing her because he was getting closer and closer to her but somehow she seems nice. He was still not sure that he would trust her but enough to eat what she was offering him. Taking a bite in the fruit, he took one step closer to her. He was now standing at her feet. His tail was almost touching her.

[SweetAussie]

Agie gasped as the monkey came up to her. She continued to offer the fruit to him, and reached put another hand slowly. She hesitated for a bit, and then gave him a soft pat on his head. She looked back excitedly at Lyra. Maybe he'd let her pat him too.

[Loki]

The monkey suddenly froze and stop making any sound. He wasn't expecting her to touch him and this was making him nervous. Jumping back, he took a glanced at her. What did she trully wants with him? Was it trully safe or was it totally a lied and she was about to lock him away for good. Hesitating to go back to her, he took one shy step back toward her and make shy little sounds as if he was asking her something.

[SilverTiger]

Rhiannon had completely zoned out shortly after the professor had asked his first question, taking notes but not paying attention to much else. It was something that happened sometimes when she got extremely focused on something.

Finally, she realized that it seemed like class had devolved into something else entirely and snapped out of her daze. What?, she thought as sh eglanced around to find what seemed like half the class gathered near the back of the room and the professor gone. Random words filtered through her confusion, enough to figure out that a monkey had invaded class. And Josh had been talking about, among other things, brooms, and exhausted people that had needed to got to the hospital wing . . . She flushed a little, knowing who he was talking about. And she heard something about cages. Again.

Looking back at her notes, she realized that half of the page was covered in sketches of mermaids, as well as more abstract designs. Rolling her eyes, she glanced back at everyone yelling and rushing around, and then closed her eyes. She hoped something would get resolved, soon. Because everythign was still distracting her and she really didn't want it to end up reflecting badly in her grades at the end of the term.

[SweetAussie]

Aww...Agie frowned as the monkey got scared. It's ok. I wont hurt you." She smiled and offered the fruit again. Maybe it was too soon to pat him. She'd just feed him first.

[LadyNerd]

Lyra giggled as her eyes watched Agie and the little monkey. It was just too cute how he was coming closer and closer until she got to pat his head. "Awww," she said as she looked to Agie once more. Yay! she was more excited that the monkey actually came to at least one of them. She sat quietly in her chair and continued to watch, playing with the fruit she had in her hand.

[SlytherinSistah]

"Well, they'd have to, considering all the weird things that have been going on this term," Tag snickered, not so much from his comment but because the monkey had put his cold fingers in his armpit. "Agie, how about one of those bananas? I think he's hungry. Maybe we can train him to ride a broom. Do you suppose Hufflepuff could tell the difference?"

Tag turned, arms out stiff. "Hey Claud'! I have a new member for our Gentlemen's Society. I have a feeling he's got better manners than most of the students." He intentionally didn't look at Josh.

ooc: I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow!
WHO JUST GAVE ME THAT TAG?!?!?

Claudian laughed, unable to hold back. He was pretty sure he understood exactly of whom Tag was speaking as he felt quite similarly. He moved over to once again take his seat and let Aggie handle the monkey.

[Loki]

Taking the fruit from her, he tilted his toward the other one that had spoken. He decided to jump on the desk close to her (Lyra), in order to watch her as he ate the fruit. Her eyes was intriguing him and he was wondering if either of them were safe to be around. Then again, the previous experience had taught him to be careful and not let his guard down.

[Kaos.Doodles]

After walking around for a bit the Cheetah picked up a familiar sent. Following the sent led her to a big rectangle thingy with a crack. Making her way threw the crack of the rectangle thingy she noticed a lot of Two Legged Things. Ohh this place would be bad they'd try to capture her. She was about to leave when she smelled the sent again. Her eyes wandering around she spotted the girl who had given her the round things (Savannah) and began to walk to her.

Noticing that the Monkey was here she hoped that no one was be paying attention to her and would focus on the Monkey. She did not want to get locked in a cage again. When she was close enough to the girl she gave a little roar that sounded more like a meow. She wanted the round things!!

[Droo]

"Well, they'd have to, considering all the weird things that have been going on this term," Tag snickered, not so much from his comment but because the monkey had put his cold fingers in his armpit. "Agie, how about one of those bananas? I think he's hungry. Maybe we can train him to ride a broom. Do you suppose Hufflepuff could tell the difference?"

Cassandra smirked... "He'd be a better seeker than Rose..." she muttered to herself... She really didn't like that prefect...

Tag turned, arms out stiff. "Hey Claud'! I have a new member for our Gentlemen's Society. I have a feeling he's got better manners than most of the students." He intentionally didn't look at Josh.


Claudian laughed, unable to hold back. He was pretty sure he understood exactly of whom Tag was speaking as he felt quite similarly. He moved over to once again take his seat and let Aggie handle the monkey.

Cassandra's head spun... Gentlemen's Society?! They have a Gentlemen's Society?! When did they meet? What did they discuss? What was the purpose... and since when have BugBoy and the Mountain Troll been so chummy? Her eyes turned to the front of the class...

[Eclipsed]

Shayna shifted uncomfortably in her seat, despite the beauty of the scenery that surrounded her, it made her painfully aware of her fear of water and all the came with it. Staring resolutely down at her textbook, she lifted an arm onto the desk, curving a hand around her forehead so that most of her vision was limited only what lay below in front of her.

Suddenly a mild meow alerted her, and her head whipped up, despite her firm resolution not to. Her gaze settling on a beautiful cheetah, Shayna's emerald green eyes widened, more with shock than fear. It was then she realised that a monkey too was currently in the room, enjoying some kind of fruit and perched on a desk in front of an older girl.

[PhoenixRising]

"So who knew Tag had a thing for monkeys? Maybe he can help you in the consolation game. You think the Huffies would know the difference?" Kerry laughed

"Well, they'd have to, considering all the weird things that have been going on this term," Tag snickered, not so much from his comment but because the monkey had put his cold fingers in his armpit. "Agie, how about one of those bananas? I think he's hungry. Maybe we can train him to ride a broom. Do you suppose Hufflepuff could tell the difference?"

Cassandra smirked... "He'd be a better seeker than Rose..." she muttered to herself... She really didn't like that prefect...


Amelia must have zoned out again while watching the monkey, who was now toying between Lyra and Agie. Bad monkey, she thought to herself. Of course she couldn't help herself here when Kerry had started in about the monkey subbing in for the match against them. She closed her eyes and groaned, vowing not to start in on anything. Besides, she didn't want to risk not playing. And then Tag responded to it... and now Agie!? Surely Max would never allow it, but then again, he was a Ravenclaw himself...

The sixth year was able to keep her cool just fine for the Brandywine sisters, but then she heard one more insult to her and just couldn't stand it. "Trelawney! That is a lie ... and you know it..." she said, angrily. Oh how badly she wanted to slap that Slytherin, but despite her anger, she would not risk detention. Then turning to face the Ravenclaw captain, "As for you Tag, good luck getting this thing trained to ride a broom in a week." She would be as polite as possible to her opposition team, even though she was still kind of scared of that bat.

Cassandra smirked... She loved getting under the Hufflepuff's skin. "They got YOU trained... didn't they?" she sneared.

[Loki]

Turning his attention toward where the noise was coming from. By the sound of it, this wasn't looking good but the two legged creatures seems to be picking on each other which was rather entertaining for him. Throwing the fruit on one of them (Amelia), he stick out his tiny tongue at her.

[PhoenixRising]

Cassandra smirked... She loved getting under the Hufflepuff's skin. "They got YOU trained... didn't they?" she sneared.

Amelia could not believe this Slytherin. Oh how much that girl aggravated her. "They did not get me trained, for your information... I was playing before I even got to Hogwarts, thanks to my brothers," she retorted back.

And then, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a flying fruit coming right towards her. She smirked and held her hand out to catch the fruit. Her five years of chaser has led to some quick hand-eye coordination. "Oh Monkey? You want to play catch?" she grinned and stuck her tongue back out at the tiny furry creature. Then she tossed the fruit back at him lightly.

Cassandra looked from the Monkey to the Prefect and back... Both tongues Sticking out. "Brothers... I see... striking resemblance." She smirked.

[PhoenixRising]

Cassandra looked from the Monkey to the Prefect and back... Both tongues Sticking out. "Brothers... I see... striking resemblance." She smirked.

Amelia could not believe her; the prefect was implying that the monkey was her brother!? She bit her lower lip to keep from doing anything foolish. "My brothers graduated already ... you have never met them, nor will you ever ... But yes, I did take after them a bit with regards to quidditch."

[Loki]

Catching back the fruit with an ease, he ate it in one bite. Those creatures were rather strange and he wasn't expecting a reaction like that. For a second there, he thought that one of them was trying to mimicing him. Not understanding anything that was been said, he started to inspected the place to see if they were any opening for him so he would be able to get out.

"Oh, I'm sorry Rose, I didn't realize the whole family lacked skills..." She pretended to take notes to hide her amusement.

Amelia watched the monkey curiously as it caught the fruit and then ate it. She frowned a bit when it didn't through it back, but then walked over to her bag where she had some cookies. Not really sure if the monkey would like cookies, she held one out for him to see.

"I will have more skills in quidditch than you could ever dream of, Trelawney." She spat back out, turning her back on the Slytherin Prefect because of her annoyance.

[Droo]

"I will have more skills in quidditch than you could ever dream of, Trelawney." She spat back out, turning her back on the Slytherin Prefect because of her annoyance.

She was going to say 'I don't know, I can dream a lot...' but she held her tongue... this was a class, after all she was a prefect... and unfortunatly, The Hufflepuff was right... Cassandra didn't fly... you kind of need to have that down before you could play.

[Tommehbell]

Tommy was sitting in class, trying to pay attention, but she was distracted by the two prefects having a spat.

She was totally dumbfounded that Cassandra could ever be a Prefect with her nasty attitude, but she had heard her talking to another Professor, and she was a total suck up.

I guess brown nosing did take you places, she thought

[Blackwidow]

Fabian walked back into the classroom with a cage in his arm, he was immediately greeted by the Prefects bickering scene. Initially he blinked, but when he heard the roar coming from one end of the classroom, his heart jolted, almost skipping a beat at the sight of a cheetah.

"What are you two doing bickering around when the entire class is in danger!" he tried to keep his temper in check, but those two prefects weren't helping at all. "Get the students out of here!" he waved a hand towards the door, before he skipped down the aisle himself, now where is that bloody monkey.

Amelia smirked when the Slytherin didn't have anything left to say about that. She knew she was right though; flying was one of Cassandra's weaker subjects. Probably one of the few things that she was confident she could beat the girl in.

Of course, then her serious face quickly spread as the Professor re-entered the classroom and then complained of the bickering. Her face went all flushed from shame and she meant to apologize but knew it was best not to say anything at all. Just do as he said. "Alright students, you heard the man. Out of the classrooms," she wanted to say 'back to your common rooms', but was afraid that would be too bossy. The sixth year started by going over to her housemates and ushering the out the door...

Oh Crud! Of course he has to walk in when Trel was trying to get under the Hufflepuff's skin... "First Years first. Single File. Walk, please, do not run." Classroom in Danger... someone was exagerating the situation... He was the Care of Magical Creature professor... these weren't even dark animals...

[SilverTiger]

Rhiannon had opened her eyes again as Amelia and Cassandra had started bickering. Rolling them, she thought, Not getting involved. And she had heard the roar, and, glancing out of her peripheral vision, had seen a cheetah in the classroom.

Then Professor Clark had come back, panicked, and ordered that class be evacuated. Yeah, cause if the cheetah was going to attack us, we're better off all moving, scaring it even more, she thought sarcastically. Slippping her notes back into her bag slowly, she stood up and started creeping toward the door. She wasn't going to startle the creatures with any quick movements.

[Loki]

The monkey was on the ground looking for a place where he could sneak when he heard the voice of the very bad creature (Fabian). A sudden panic urge his little body and as soon as he found an opening, he rushed himself out of the place not without knocking few things down along the way.

[SlytherinSistah]

Guess that meant that class was dismissed. Claudian waited until the younger years were ushered out by the Harpy of Hogwarts before following likewise out of the classroom, relieved to be out of the presence of wild animals.

[D.A Forever]

After walking around for a bit the Cheetah picked up a familiar sent. Following the sent led her to a big rectangle thingy with a crack. Making her way threw the crack of the rectangle thingy she noticed a lot of Two Legged Things. Ohh this place would be bad they'd try to capture her. She was about to leave when she smelled the sent again. Her eyes wandering around she spotted the girl who had given her the round things (Savannah) and began to walk to her.

Noticing that the Monkey was here she hoped that no one was be paying attention to her and would focus on the Monkey. She did not want to get locked in a cage again. When she was close enough to the girl she gave a little roar that sounded more like a meow. She wanted the round things!!

Fabian walked back into the classroom with a cage in his arm, he was immediately greeted by the Prefects bickering scene. Initially he blinked, but when he heard the roar coming from one end of the classroom, his heart jolted, almost skipping a beat at the sight of a cheetah.

"Get the students out of here!" he waved a hand towards the door, before he skipped down the aisle himself, now where is that bloody monkey.

Savannah was startled, by the strong meow sort of sound that came from beside her, and was even more startled to see Tiger hadn't followed her to class but the Cheetah had. Oh no.

Professor Clark came back before she could react, he demanded everyone leave immediantly. Somehow she didn't see that a good idea without the animal distracted first, but said nothing and kept her attention on it. She, unlike the others didn't move from her seat. If she left, the cheetah was more then likely to follow or even possibly get mad at her and responde badly.

"Professor..I don't think I should get up," Savannah said, so it wasn't as if she was silently refusing, she couldn't exactily. If she went around the other side of her desk, it still might come after her. Noticing it sniffing, a thought accrued, and she reached down to rummage through the side of her bag. Good thing she had gotten more of those peanut butter flavored cookies, "Here you go...good Cheetah," She murmured calmly, giving it two biscuits at once in hope of keeping it on her good side despite what was going on around them. She was not about to become the large felines next meal.

[XanaSnape]

Xana moved to collect her things and stand when something caught her eye. That couldn't be a... cheetah? She froze in place, not wanting to make any sudden moves and alarm the creature. She watched, wide-eyed, as the hufflepuff girl offered it cookies. "pssst... " she whispered to the girl. "Can I help you? She didn't want the younger girl to be mauled by the powerful-looking feline.

[Torchwood]

Qaz slowly collected her things. Oh, what a beautiful cat. She knew better than to make any rapid movements that would attract the cat's attention. Slowly, she eased toward the door and left/

[Blackwidow]

At the sound of chairs shuffling and footsteps hurriedly moving, Fabian called over his shoulders, "class shall resume later .. when.. oh when everyone is safe" he bent down under a desk to find that monkey. Under the desk we pretty clear, he brought himself to full height again pressing the cage to a nearby desk.

"Where is that monkey? Anyone seen that monkey? Ten points to whomever catches that monkey! Use bananas!" he called loud enough over the entire, "don't hex any of the creatures!" he continued as he twisted here and there in search of that little minx. Oh was that monkey in trouble! He couldn't even comprehend why he was in trouble, but he could think of reasons later, yes later.


"Professor..I don't think I should get up," Savannah said, so it wasn't as if she was silently refusing, she couldn't exactily.

Good thing she had gotten more of those peanut butter flavored cookies, "Here you go...good Cheetah," She murmured calmly, giving it two biscuits at once in hope of keeping it on her good side despite what was going on around them. She was not about to become the large felines next meal.

"I think you should!" Fabian replied to Savannah as he crossed her still searching for that monkey, "just take slow movements out of your seat. And don't get too close to it. One bite out of it can take your entire arm and i'm sure your mama would want you in one piece when she meets you at Kings Cross, aye?" he tried to stay calm. But all this movement was determined to anger the cheetah.

Right. No Panic.

"Cassandra! Mia!" he called out again, "one of you must go and find Professor Branxton, ask him for a potion. Tell him of the situation in class, while i try to keep both animals in check and contained in this classroom!".


"Older students, make sure younger students are safe. And try to stay away from the cheetah!".

[Droo]

"Yes sir..." She said. She left in a rush.

[SlytherinSistah]

"Older students, make sure younger students are safe. And try to stay away from the cheetah!".

'10 points to Slytherin...what??!' Claudian's ears perked up at the opportunity.
"Trellawney? I can take the students back to the common room." He offered as Professor Clark said either her or Mia would need to go and get Branxton. There were opportunities to be had and he didn't want Slytherins to miss out on them.

"Yes, Slughorn, please help them." She said as she dissapered through the door.

ooc: The monkey was just captured in the Divination classroom.

[D.A Forever]

"Erm..I think I've got it," Savannah spoke quietly, glancing to the older girl rather greatful for the offer, but she didn't see a way around getting up and going. Getting up was something she was just abit afraid of at the moment.

She sighed inwardly, nodding to Professor Clark. She wasn't sure which was a worse idea, angering the Professor or the cheetah. Abit too late on getting close to it, she thought to herself, again looking down at it. Why was it fond of her? this was the second time. Maybe it had an identity problem. When you fed a stray dog they took a liking to that person, but this was no dog.

"My mum is going to be irate with me if she even finds out I fed it, Sir. Let alone lose a limb." Savannah added, slowly getting off her seat from the opposite side of the large animal. She left two more cookies by it's paws, hoping it would focus on that atleast for another moment while everyone exited. "Thanks," The fourth year didn't forget to say, looking to Xana, before moving towards the door as told.

He couldn't even comprehend why he was in trouble, but he could think of reasons later, yes later.

Rhiannon spoke up from her position near the door. "Professor? The monkey slipped out the door with the students." Who were still filing out. And with the no hexing rule, she had had no way of stopping the little critter.

ooc: Yes, the monkey was petrified in Divination.

[Droo]

Cassandra made her way back into the classroom, with the petrified monkey in Amelia Rose's bag. "Professor, I caught him, the monkey. He was in the Divination classroom. I'll need the bag back though..." Cassandra said nearly chuckling.

[Kaos.Doodles]

As alot of the two legged things started to get up and move again the Cheetah didn't mind. That just meant no cage for her. When the girl gave her two of the round things the Cheetah gobbled them up. She liked this girl; as long as she didn't lock her in a cage and gave her more round things. Hearing the two legged peoples weird sounds the Cheetah recognized one of them from the water place (Clark). She didn't like that one.

As the girl got up the Cheetah noticed that she had left two more round things, deciding to save them the Cheetah began to follow the girl. Where was she going? She needed her if she ever got hungry! Stopped the Cheetah realized something, It was the two legged thing from the lake's fault! The Cheetah stopped following the girl and began to get closer and closer to the two legged person from the lake; the one in charge.

[SweetAussie]

Taking the fruit from her, he tilted his toward the other one that had spoken. He decided to jump on the desk close to her (Lyra), in order to watch her as he ate the fruit. Her eyes was intriguing him and he was wondering if either of them were safe to be around. Then again, the previous experience had taught him to be careful and not let his guard down.

Agie smiled ad the monkey took another fruit and went over to Lyra. He seemed to like them both now. Agie was happy that lyra got a turn as well. He head turned into the direction of Amelia and Cassandra.

Cassandra smirked... "He'd be a better seeker than Rose..." she muttered to herself... She really didn't like that prefect...



The monkey a better seeker than Amelia. Agie tried to just smirk, but she couldn't help laughing, and very loudly at this comment. Good call.


Amelia must have zoned out again while watching the monkey, who was now toying between Lyra and Agie. Bad monkey, she thought to herself. Of course she couldn't help herself here when Kerry had started in about the monkey subbing in for the match against them. She closed her eyes and groaned, vowing not to start in on anything.

The sixth year was able to keep her cool just fine for the Brandywine sisters, but then she heard one more insult to her and just couldn't stand it. "Trelawney! That is a lie ... and you know it..." she said, angrily. Oh how badly she wanted to slap that Slytherin, but despite her anger, she would not risk detention. Then turning to face the Ravenclaw captain, "As for you Tag, good luck getting this thing trained to ride a broom in a week." She would be as polite as possible to her opposition team, even though she was still kind of scared of that bat.

She turned to see Amelia's reaction, and it was just as she thought. Can't she take a joke? Agie snickered more.

Cassandra smirked... She loved getting under the Hufflepuff's skin. "They got YOU trained... didn't they?" she sneared.

Cassandra made the giggles keep on coming. Agie wondered why they have never officially met. The has something in common, one of Agie's favourite pastimes, taunting Amelia.

Even the monkey was on their side. He was off throwing fruits at her. Good boy!

Fabian walked back into the classroom with a cage in his arm, he was immediately greeted by the Prefects bickering scene. Initially he blinked, but when he heard the roar coming from one end of the classroom, his heart jolted, almost skipping a beat at the sight of a cheetah.

"What are you two doing bickering around when the entire class is in danger!" he tried to keep his temper in check, but those two prefects weren't helping at all. "Get the students out of here!" he waved a hand towards the door, before he skipped down the aisle himself, now where is that bloody monkey.


Agie looked up at Fabian and around the emptying classroom. She looked to see Lyra still sitting at her desk. Agie's face would have been red from all that giggling. She got up and walked over to Lyra. "I guess we should go too. Unless you uncle needs any help." She said more loud that normal, and looked back to see Fabians response.

[LadyNerd]

Lyra was more than thrilled that the little monkey finally came up to her and took some of her fruit. But...he then disappeared. Sigh! As she watched him make his way over to Mia, Lyra let out her giggles, watching the monkey sticking his tongue out...well, both of them actually. "And this is my house Prefect," she whispered as she leaned into Agie and giggled more.

But soon, all the fun was ending as Fabian was kicking out all students. It was just the same cheetah that was the lake before and there was no in the harm, except for the one time when she saw the animal charging other students...well, yeah..."I'm sure that Fabian can take care of things. We can go in search of other animals if you like? That cheetah kind of scared me at the lake before." That last part she had to whisper because she didn't want others to know she was afraid of a little cheetah.

[SweetAussie]

Agie laughed about Lyra's comment. "Yes I envy you because you have such a great prefect." She smirked.

Agie made a pouty face. She liked the cheetah. "Awww oook than." She said slowly, and then a thought came to her head. "Ooo I know where the Eagle is. Come on Lyra, follow me." She said, grabbing her hand and running out of the room.

[angelwing]

Ariana hadn't had a chance to talk to Fabi with all the excitement and craziness that had gone on recently. She knocked on the door to his classroom but soon realized that there were very few kids in the class and Fabian seemed to be busy looking for something and there was a cage nearby and gave a chuckle. "Planning on catching a student or an animal?" Though in all actuality, the animal were still students...

[Blackwidow]

"My mum is going to be irate with me if she even finds out I fed it, Sir. Let alone lose a limb." Savannah added, slowly getting off her seat from the opposite side of the large animal. She left two more cookies by it's paws, hoping it would focus on that atleast for another moment while everyone exited. "Thanks," The fourth year didn't forget to say, looking to Xana, before moving towards the door as told.

"Good girl, we don't want to upset your mother any futher" he murmured, still keeping an eye on the cheetah. He took a step back only when Savannah moved behind him.

Rhiannon spoke up from her position near the door. "Professor? The monkey slipped out the door with the students." Who were still filing out. And with the no hexing rule, she had had no way of stopping the little critter.

"Oh so?" Fabian almost groaned out, he lost the monkey. Well they all did. He was about to tell the Ravenclaw to go find it when the Slytherin Prefect stormed back in with a bag?

Cassandra made her way back into the classroom, with the petrified monkey in Amelia Rose's bag. "Professor, I caught him, the monkey. He was in the Divination classroom. I'll need the bag back though..." Cassandra said nearly chuckling.

"Good girl! Good girl!" Fabian praised the prefect, almost forgetting about the cheetah to go look at the monkey. "Ten points for you, for catching that bloody monkey. Now if i can get the cage" he replied thoughtfully taking hold of the bag and turned around only to come face to face with the cheetah.

As alot of the two legged things started to get up and move again the Cheetah didn't mind. That just meant no cage for her. When the girl gave her two of the round things the Cheetah gobbled them up. She liked this girl; as long as she didn't lock her in a cage and gave her more round things. Hearing the two legged peoples weird sounds the Cheetah recognized one of them from the water place (Clark). She didn't like that one.

As the girl got up the Cheetah noticed that she had left two more round things, deciding to save them the Cheetah began to follow the girl. Where was she going? She needed her if she ever got hungry! Stopped the Cheetah realized something, It was the two legged thing from the lake's fault! The Cheetah stopped following the girl and began to get closer and closer to the two legged person from the lake; the one in charge.

Fabian wasn't a religious man, but in that instant he saw his life flash behind his eye. "Oh lord" he whispered along with a small prayer. He won't hex a student, even if it was dangerous as a cheetah.

His arms crossed tightly across the bag that he held against his chest, eyes fixed on the Cheetah, not sure what made him talk to it. But he decided anyway, since either way he would die. "So you wanted to learn about mermaids?" he croaked taking a step back at the same time.

Ariana hadn't had a chance to talk to Fabi with all the excitement and craziness that had gone on recently. She knocked on the door to his classroom but soon realized that there were very few kids in the class and Fabian seemed to be busy looking for something and there was a cage nearby and gave a chuckle. "Planning on catching a student or an animal?" Though in all actuality, the animal were still students...


"Oh Ari!" he sighed, "are you here to make fun or actual help? Did Branxton send you with the potion, i say spray this one first" nudging towards the Cheetah with his chin.

[angelwing]

"Well I don't have a potion nope, but I can do my best anyways." She said taking time only to stick her tongue out at Fabian before using her wand and casting an incarcerous towards the cheetah. She hoped the ropes held and then moved towards the monkey. It was so adorable that she almost forgot it was a student and not a pet. Ari wanted to take it home and keep it.

[*JoshMoonson*]

"Well I don't have a potion nope, but I can do my best anyways." She said taking time only to stick her tongue out at Fabian before using her wand and casting an incarcerous towards the cheetah. She hoped the ropes held and then moved towards the monkey. It was so adorable that she almost forgot it was a student and not a pet. Ari wanted to take it home and keep it.

Josh saw ari arrived...the goddess of healing. He smiled as she had taken care of the cheetah all on her own. She was a great spell caster and a nurse. he wondered what other hidden talents she had. she had walked over to the monkey that was having a rampage in the bag. his eyes widen at the site." ari!" he said as he moved to grab her hand and pull her away from the monkey." thats dangerous animal." he told her as he pulled her behind him. "is their any cages big enough for a cheetah?" he then looked at ari and asked in a low whisper." one big enough for a bear too."

[Blackwidow]

She hoped the ropes held and then moved towards the monkey. It was so adorable that she almost forgot it was a student and not a pet. Ari wanted to take it home and keep it.


Fabian's eyes grew as ropes flew to wrap around the cheetah, "Ari" he murmured, "you just attacked a student" his voice trailed off in amusement, "not really but enough to have her angry mother walk down or file a complaint". Not that he didn't lock students in cages, but, they were only two. And they so certainly inflicted harm! Absolutely!

"What do you mean you don't have the potion?" he snapped back to reality once she came closer to him "what are you doing here then? Nothing is following you down here, is there?" his head snapped towards the door.

Josh saw ari arrived...the goddess of healing. He smiled as she had taken care of the cheetah all on her own. She was a great spell caster and a nurse. he wondered what other hidden talents she had. she went over to the monkey as josh's eyes widen." ari!" he said as he moved to grab her hand and pull her away from the monkey." thats dangerous animal." he told her as he pulled her behind him. "is their any cages big enough for a cheetah?" he then looked at ari and asked in a low whisper." one big enough for a bear too."

"I don't think we should cage students" he looked down at Josh, "unless, they caused harm" his eyes grew menacing as they raked over Josh, but his voice was oh so sweet!

[PhoenixRising]

Cassandra made her way back into the classroom, with the petrified monkey in Amelia Rose's bag. "Professor, I caught him, the monkey. He was in the Divination classroom. I'll need the bag back though..." Cassandra said nearly chuckling.


"Good girl! Good girl!" Fabian praised the prefect, almost forgetting about the cheetah to go look at the monkey. "Ten points for you, for catching that bloody monkey. Now if i can get the cage" he replied thoughtfully taking hold of the bag and turned around only to come face to face with the cheetah.


Amelia gasped when Cassandra emerged with her bag that the monkey had climbed into in Divinations. She groaned and was not exactly pleased by having the Slytherin handle her bag. "Nothing better be harmed..." she said rather quietly, directed towards Trelawney.

And then Fabian gave her ten points for catching the monkey. "I should get points for allowing her to catch the monkey in MY bag!" The sixth muttered, somewhat annoyed.

[angelwing]

"I don't think we should cage students" he looked down at Josh, "unless, they caused harm" his eyes grew menacing as they raked over Josh, but his voice was oh so sweet!

Ari grinned and nodded at Josh before backing away. He was right and she turned and looked to answer Fabian. At his words she looked at the cheetah almost feeling sorry she had done it. She loved all animals and really hated to see them hurt but what choice had she had?

"I mean I don't have the potion and no nothing's following me up here." At the tone of his voice Ari wasn't sure what to do. Fabi had never been harsh with her before and it made her not feel good. She gave a slight shrug at his question of why she was there. "I don't know. I heard you had had some encounters with the animals and I wanted to see if you were alright and what had happened." Ari looked at the cheetah wondering if it would have been better if she had just not even bothered coming.

Fabian waved a hand at Amelia, she was whining for some odd reason he couldn't comprehend. And now wasn't the time for it. "Find some water to give the Cheetah while we figure where to put her" he murmured, shiftily looking at the student. He really didn't like the creature being roped down.

Ari looked at the cheetah wondering if it would have been better if she had just not even bothered coming.


"Oh" he sighed in surprise, then after a moment let his guard down. All this vigilancy and students chasing after animal students and vice versa was really taking a toll on him. But at the mention of the nurse coming to check on him because she thought he might be in trouble, that really got his attention. He smiled slyly in her direction. I'm very happy you came to check on me, because i started not giving a fig about how i feel this moment seeing kids might be in danger" he moved a hand to scratch his head. "I might have a pain in the head" he admitted, "and possibly a scratch on my leg somewhere from a monkey bite, but i haven't looked yet. Because, i have no clue why" he finally trailed off looking at the nurse with utter bewilderment.

[Deadmau5]

Hitachi took a long deep breath and sighed. He scanned the room and learned that everyone was learning about monkeys and inappropriate things in class. Slowly he shook his head looked back at the Professor. "Professor, are we learning about monkeys or are we learning about petty arguments between prefects?" he asked sarcastically over the many voices.

[*JoshMoonson*]

"I don't think we should cage students" he looked down at Josh, "unless, they caused harm" his eyes grew menacing as they raked over Josh, but his voice was oh so sweet!

"Yeah well you could of used that mentality a few days ago." he muttered to himself as he then seeing him yap at ari. well at least he was being nicer about it." Im sorry to interrupt here, but why cant we just put it into a cage. it would restrain it and you could pad the cage so no harm would come to it.And technically its not a student at the moment." Even if it was a student..didnt stop him before.

Hitachi took a long deep breath and sighed. He scanned the room and learned that everyone was learning about monkeys and inappropriate things in class. Slowly he shook his head looked back at the Professor. "Professor, are we learning about monkeys or are we learning about petty arguments between prefects?" he asked sarcastically over the many voices.

Oh that kid was in trouble. Ka ching! Cage coming right up!

[Seeker_Seven]

Tag conjured a container of water, still grumbling to himself that after all that work, someone else had caught the monkey. And not even any someone--Trelawney! Of all the people who didn't deserve to catch a monkey. Tag would not wish her on his worst enemy.

And now, of course, Nurse Numel had roped down the cheetah, using a similar spell he'd tried himself the night before at the lake. Which the cheetah had easily evaded before attempting to charge them all down and eat their heads.

He approached the big cat cautiously. "Professor, don't you think we ought to put her in an enclosure of some sort. . . she might hurt herself trying to get loose of the ropes." Tag set the water down in front of the cheetah, eyeing her giant white fangs.

[PhoenixRising]

Fabian waved a hand at Amelia, she was whining for some odd reason he couldn't comprehend. And now wasn't the time for it. "Find some water to give the Cheetah while we figure where to put her" he murmured, shiftily looking at the student. He really didn't like the creature being roped down.

Slowly he shook his head looked back at the Professor. "Professor, are we learning about monkeys or are we learning about petty arguments between prefects?" he asked sarcastically over the many voices.

Right, she thought noticing his hand waving. He probably thought she was just one to complain, but in reality that wasn't normally what she was like. Honestly, the sixth year had no idea what had come over her lately. Amelia nodded to Clark and was about to get a phial from her bag when she realized the monkey was trapped in it. That complicated things.

And then on top of things, she overheard some slytherin complaining about what they were learning about. None of the above, she thought, trying to refrain from laughing. Phial; right.

"Accio one phial," she muttered. Oddly enough, her summoning charm worked well and a phial came zooming towards her, presumably from the kitchens. "Aguamenti," she said as the phial began to fill with water. "There you are Pr-" The Hufflepuff carried the water over to the tall professor, but paused when it seemed the Ravenclaw Captain had beat her to it.

"Uh, more water here as well," she murmured towards Tag, in disbelief that he got the water...

[angelwing]

Ariana was just about to answer Fabian when a student decided to speak up. She turned and looked at the child and raised an eyebrow. "Excuse you? Maybe you should have been paying closer attention to your surroundings as well as your professor." Ari glanced around the near empty room. "As I'm sure you would have noticed, class seems to have been stopped for the moment due to apparently, more important situations that arose." She shook her head at the blatent rudeness. "Now, I'm sorry if these distractions..." She said gesturing to the bag of monkey and the cheetah, "are getting in the way of whatever more important plans you obviously have. I suggest you can the attitude and find a more productive pastime."

She removed the ropes from the Cheetah and quickly summoned up a plate of food for it. No reason for it to go hungry. Hopefully that would sustain it until they figured out something else to do. She noticed that water had been placed in front of it as well and grinned that it was being taken care of. At least some of the kids were being helpful. "I'll take a look at your leg after all this if you'd like." Ari finally got around to saying.

[SilverTiger]

Rhiannon had stayed in her corner, watching the cheetah inch toward Professor Clark, when the Slytherin prefect had come in, announcing she had the monkey. And then it seemed like everything was happening at once. People were talking, Tag was giving water to the cheetah, Amelia was too, it seemed like Josh was being threatened, and the nurse had come in.

She felt her way to a chair before she got overwhelmed, and sat down. It wouldn't help for her to faint again now. Digging in her bag, she slips out an orange and starts eating it quietly, not wanting to leave class right now, even though she was supposed to have left with everyone else. If others were still here, she was staying. If someone needed anything, they could always ask her.

[Blackwidow]

Hitachi took a long deep breath and sighed. He scanned the room and learned that everyone was learning about monkeys and inappropriate things in class. Slowly he shook his head looked back at the Professor. "Professor, are we learning about monkeys or are we learning about petty arguments between prefects?" he asked sarcastically over the many voices.

Fabian blinked at the kid for a moment, he wondered if kids actually slept in his class cause its so boring. But then again, if one wasn't paying attention to surroundings then a cheetah bite would be appropriate. He shrugged at the kid before turning to listen to student suggestions.

" Im sorry to interrupt here, but why cant we just put it into a cage. it would restrain it and you could pad the cage so no harm would come to it.And technically its not a student at the moment." Even if it was a student..didnt stop him before.
He approached the big cat cautiously. "Professor, don't you think we ought to put her in an enclosure of some sort. . . she might hurt herself trying to get loose of the ropes." Tag set the water down in front of the cheetah, eyeing her giant white fangs.

Fabian raised a brow at Josh, "seeing you experience 'caging' first handedly i would come to conclude you did not come to like the experience. So I don't believe caging the Cheetah in, is a good idea" his head turned tag as he continued.

"I suppose a certain confinement of sorts would be a very good idea Tag, perhaps an invisible barrier on all four sides of the cheetah. That wouldn't come to her as imprisonment. Do you know you how to cast it up? I'd want at least three students, one on each side" he trailed off thoughtfully flipping the idea around in his head.

"Thank you Amelia for the water" he murmured towards the Hufflepuff prefect for conjuring water. He didn't even realize that this was the third or fourth time he has come to say her name. Funny memory he had.


She removed the ropes from the Cheetah and quickly conjured up a plate of food for it. No reason for it to go hungry. Hopefully that would sustain it until they figured out something else to do. She noticed that water had been placed in front of it as well and grinned that it was being taken care of. At least some of the kids were being helpful. "I'll take a look at your leg after all this if you'd like." Ari finally got around to saying.


"Your very kind" Fabian murmured watching the ropes fly off the Cheetah. "I always said it was the magic in you, didn't I" he mused peaking over the food that was conjured up as well. He would have said a few Shakespeare lines, but it wasn't appropriate infront of students, so he coughed instead and murmured, "well yes, later sounds good" he flashed a charming smile at the nurse. She was too kind, for her own good.

[Loki]

The monkey was still in that ugly bag unable to move from a reason that he couldn't comprehend. This was very frustrating for him. He wish he could express himself from everything that had been going on but no, a bad creature had done something to him. By the sound of it, he was back near the evil yellow one but he could also hear the good one. Regretted starting to fill his little mind about having leave him. This wouldn't probably have happens if he had stayed.

[Seeker_Seven]

Tag backed away from the cheetah, now that there were no ropes holding her jaws closed. Sure there might be a plate of food in front of her, but what if she preferred human heads?

"Amelia and I could stand on either side, Professor," Tag offered, then glanced around for a third wall-holder. Josh was preoccupied with his stress-induced hysteria, and the other kid had obviously been daydreaming. His eyes landed on one of his teammates. "Rhi's over there--she can hold up the other side." He leaned forward and patted the bag in Clark's hand. "Don't worry, fella. We'll get you set up in a comfy place, too."

He frowned at the professor and Nurse Numel. "They told us not to try and petrify the animals, since they're students. If that was safe, plenty of professors could have done that a long time ago." And now Trelawney was earning points. He felt his dislike for the monkey-petrifying prefect rising.

[Loki]

The monkey was trying to fight the invisible cage that was keeping him from expressing himself and moving. It had to be one of the bad creature that had done it but the reason why was still uncertain in his head. They had to be very strong to be able to keep him like that without even touching him. At least in the cage he was able to move and communicate. If only he could be able to move, he would be able to go hide in the creature clothes (Tag) and sleep for a while.

[PhoenixRising]

Amelia blinked as Professor Clark seemed to finally remember her name, as he had said it maybe three times today. It was about time too. She nodded towards him after finally realizing that he had requested people to cast an invisible barrier on all four sides of the cheetah.

"Huh? What?!" the sixth year looked over from her bag with the monkey to Tag, as he said her name. "Yea I can help... and Rhiannon on the other side. Do we need a fourth?" she asked, hoping one of the professors would volunteer.

[Disneymaniac]

"I am willing to volunteer Professor. But I might not be much help, since I unclothed myself in Transfiguration," Marco piped up. He actually had no idea about what was going on, but volunteering was always a good thing.

[PhoenixRising]

"Well Marco, its a good thing that creating an invisible barrier should have nothing to do with the clothes changing spell," Amelia said, trying not to snicker as she remembered his boxers. That was an image that she surely never wanted to see again, but would also never forget. "Although if you'd rather work better in your boxers..."

[Disneymaniac]

"Well working in my boxers is very liberating. I am wearing a lovely silk pair today, if you would like to see of course Amelia?" Marco smiled, "I wouldn't trust my magic though. Whoever is opposite me might become semi-naked." He wanted to make sure Amelia was opposite, just in case that happened.

[PhoenixRising]

"I'd rather not," Amelia said firmly to the slytherin captain. What was it with older boys and wanting to show their boxers off anyway? Besides, the kid was married now. She shook her head, "well then, have Tag stand opposite you." The last thing she wanted was to appear semi-naked in front of half the class.

[SilverTiger]

Rhiannon looked up from her orange in surprise as she heard both Tag and Amelia volunteer her for something. And it appeared Marco was being his usual self. "Sure, I can hold up a side. If I was aware of what spell we were casting." She knew she generally could accomplish any spell, but needed to know what she was doing first.

She had finished her snack, so she swept the peel into her bag to dispose of it later as she stood and approached the others carefully.

[Disneymaniac]

"Oh ok. I would love to see Tag's underpants. Just as long as they don't clash with mine. Wouldn't want that," Marco laughed, "Though I would prefer it if you were opposite. I am sure you are a prettier sight."

[confusion.girl]

Cora stared at Marco. "Are you trying to tell us something Marco?" She asked, grinning and then turning back to the front. She peered at Tag, and smiled brightly. Oooh. Mental note. Ask him what he was doing in the Vegetable Patch.

She stared at Marco again. Strange child.

[PhoenixRising]

"Excellent Rhian!" Amelia said, looking away from Marco momentarily towards her Ravie friend. "We have four people now, all we need is the spell... anyone have any ideas?" For some reason she was blanking on her spellwork and couldn't remember any that would conjure an invisible barrier. And of course, like all other useful things, her spellbook was in her bag, which was holding the monkey hostage.

The sixth year looked back over towards Marco, stunned at what he had said. He thinks I'm pretty!? But his wife... "Uh thank you!?" she said, unsure of what her response should be. "And I thought it would be Tag's acclaimed six-pack that would interest you more."

[Deadmau5]

Hitachi glared at the many people who had gave him childish looks. He then sunk in his seat when he heard the school nurse speakingto him. "Forgive me Madam Nurel. My immaturity got the better of me." he said curtly.

He sat straight up again and looked through his notes. He raised his head and paid full attention to the professor.

[SilverTiger]

"Excellent Rhian!" Amelia said, looking away from Marco momentarily towards her Ravie friend. "We have four people now, all we need is the spell... anyone have any ideas?" For some reason she was blanking on her spellwork and couldn't remember any that would conjure an invisible barrier.

Rhiannon smiled ruefully and shook her head. "Nope. Sorry. Can't think of any invisible barrier spells." This had to be the first time she had left her spellbook up in her dorm. The one time she wasn't already aware of a spell.

She raised an eyebrow a fraction as Amelia thanked Marco for his comment. Personally, she tended to ignore the Slytherin. He wasn't exactly on her list of friends, or people she wanted to be friends with. And her eyebrow went up even more at the Huffie's comment about Tag. She'd been in the locker room with the captain nad hadn't seen anything. But then, the last time, she wasn't exactly in the condition to notice anything. Looking back, she was actually surprised she had even listened to the professor's pep talk after the game.

[Disneymaniac]

"No I am not trying to tell you something Cora," Marco frowned. He hadn't sounded 'odd' had he?

He smiled at Mia, "You are welcome." He frowned again, "Nah I am a pants man." What was he saying? Was he high or something?

[Deadmau5]

Hitachi almost bursted out laughing at the comments that Marco was speaking. "Marco, what's gotten into you? Did someone confund you or what?" he asked with a grin.

[Kaos.Doodles]

As a two legged thing sent ropes at her again the Cheetah knew that she had been caught. This only meant one thing: back to the cage. The Cheetah tried to escape from the ropes she knew it was useless but she didn't want to be trapped again. When a two two legged things put water and food in front of her the Cheetah stopped trying to escape. Even if they were evil at least they were still giving her food. Now looking around at the two legged people instead of trying to escape she wondered what they were going to do.

[PhoenixRising]

Amelia was quite shocked that Rhiannon of all people didn't know any spells to create an invisible barrier. Rhiannon was probably one of the best students she knew with spells, which was strange to admit, but it was true. That girl could perform any spell perfectly, usually after just one try.

She racked her brain trying to remember where she heard of such a spell being used. Turning back to look at Marco, she grinned. "Oh really now, I totally could not tell from your boxer incident." She smirked.

"Um, what about a simple shield spell?" the sixth year suggested, as she eyed the cheetah, who seemed to be annoyed by the ropes. "Between all of us, I'm sure it would be strong enough to hold the creature in."

Rhiannon thought a minute about what Amelia said. "You mean Protego?" She knew that nothing would happen if she said the word; she didn't have her wand out and the intent wasn't there. "That only works against spells and jinxes. I don't think it would do anything to the cheetah. The only other thing I can think of is an Anti-Intruder Jinx. But I don't reallythink that fits either."

"Amelia and I could stand on either side, Professor," Tag offered, then glanced around for a third wall-holder. Josh was preoccupied with his stress-induced hysteria, and the other kid had obviously been daydreaming. His eyes landed on one of his teammates. "Rhi's over there--she can hold up the other side." He leaned forward and patted the bag in Clark's hand. "Don't worry, fella. We'll get you set up in a comfy place, too."

He frowned at the professor and Nurse Numel. "They told us not to try and petrify the animals, since they're students. If that was safe, plenty of professors could have done that a long time ago." And now Trelawney was earning points. He felt his dislike for the monkey-petrifying prefect rising.


"Huh? What?!" the sixth year looked over from her bag with the monkey to Tag, as he said her name. "Yea I can help... and Rhiannon on the other side. Do we need a fourth?" she asked, hoping one of the professors would volunteer.


"Quite so Tag" Fabian croaked on, "we'd rather not petrify any of the students. But under severe circumstances, certain measures must be taken" he allowed himself to glance at Nurse number before taking a few steps around the group of students and stationed himself on side of the Cheetah.

"Very good then, Tag, Amelia, and Rhi?" he looked amongst the students to figure which one of them was Rhi, "if you would please take your positions".

"I am willing to volunteer Professor. But I might not be much help, since I unclothed myself in Transfiguration," Marco piped up. He actually had no idea about what was going on, but volunteering was always a good thing.

Fabian's eyes narrowed at the sight of Marco. "I believe you are correct Mr. Denver" he answered the Slytherin with such a displeased tone. The kid apparently had too many bludgers taken to the head. "Mr. Denver, I'd rather have the females in my class focused and not swoon. Would you please do something to cover yourself up. A rag? a carpet? Lock yourself in a closet?"

"Um, what about a simple shield spell?" the sixth year suggested, as she eyed the cheetah, who seemed to be annoyed by the ropes. "Between all of us, I'm sure it would be strong enough to hold the creature in."

Fabian watched both girls share suggestions and a small smile appeared slowly grew out from the corners of his lips. "Mhmm, we could" he answered thoughtfully, "or we can use the simplicity of a conjuring spell? All we need is an invisible barrier around the beautiful creature".

[PhoenixRising]

Rhiannon thought a minute about what Amelia said. "You mean Protego?" She knew that nothing would happen if she said the word; she didn't have her wand out and the intent wasn't there. "That only works against spells and jinxes. I don't think it would do anything to the cheetah. The only other thing I can think of is an Anti-Intruder Jinx. But I don't really think that fits either."

Amelia nodded at the incantation of the shield charm that Rhiannon mentioned. "Yes, that is exactly what I was referring to. Protego creates an invisible barrier between yourself and the attacking object, so why would it not be effective? If anything, there is also Protego totalum, which is a defense charm that protects a larger area." she shrugged and looked towards the professors, hoping they would give some guidance as to what spell might effective.

She tried hard to stifle a laugh with what Clark said to Marco about the swooning and locking himself in a closet. Marco would enjoy that one too much though. Oh he was too funny, that man was. She nodded as she took her place around where the cheetah was and waited for the cue to cast the spell. "Oh duh, a conjuring spell. So which one do you suggest we use then, Professor?"

Professor Clark glanced at the Cheetah, back the students, then back at the Cheetah and said "We'll use the shield charm. I cannot risk any attacks done from either end, you all learned the shield charm from your third year. So i can at least guarentee most of you implementing it correctly, no insults intended" he smiled tenderly, "as for conjuring charms you only learn them from fifth or sixth year of schooling".

He glanced at all three students, "when you ready.. on three".

[PhoenixRising]

Professor Clark glanced at the Cheetah, back the students, then back at the Cheetah and said "We'll use the shield charm. I cannot risk any attacks done from either end, you all learned the shield charm from your third year. So i can at least guarantee most of you implementing it correctly, no insults intended" he smiled tenderly, "as for conjuring charms you only learn them from fifth or sixth year of schooling".

He glanced at all three students, "when you ready.. on three".


Amelia kept her gaze on Professor Clark, waiting for his decision. As he began to speak, she nodded at his decision partially agreeing with him. It was true that the shield charm was safer given how often they have used it. The only one who might be the best at the conjuring charm would be Tag, as he was the only 7th year of the three.

Glancing at the other 'barrier students', she nodded and murmured quietly, "one... two... three," before offering a wand waving and clear, "Protego!" at her side of the cheetah.

Rhiannon glanced at the professor. Part of her agreed with what he said; the only real conjuring spell she knew she was good at was the one her cousin had taught her and she had used in her duel against Josh at the beginning of the term. And she didn't think anyone would appreciate a golden eagle flying around, under the circumstances.

She silently nodded as he told them to use the shield charm. Easy. But maybe I should cast it verbally, in order to not confuse anyone, she thought. As she vaguely heard Amelia counting, she took her wand out and went by the Huffie's count. As she heard "three", she waved her wand on her side of the cheetah and confidently said, "Protego!", feeling the shield appear in front of her, between herself and the animal. Now she just had to hope it held.

"Mr. Denver, I'd rather have the females in my class focused and not swoon. Would you please do something to cover yourself up. A rag? a carpet? Lock yourself in a closet?"

"Sorry Sir. Closet it is," Marco frowned. He didn't want to leave the class. So he just shrunk into the background of the class. He adjusted his captain's badge on his chest, checking it was in place.

[confusion.girl]

Cora stared at Marco. "Pants man?" She asked in disbelief. "What are you, a super heroe or something. Want me to transfigure your Quidditch batch to say Pants Man for you Marky Sparky?" She asked, grinning wickedly.

Hehehe. Laughing, she turned back to the front of the class, and listened intently.

[Seeker_Seven]

Tag did his best to ignore Marco's chauvanistic parading, much like he tried to ignore him on the Quidditch pitch. He was obviously insecure in his masculinity. Tag, on the other hand, preferred to keep the color (and pattern) of his underpants to only those closest to him. Namely, the hedgehog, the rat, and the jarvey.

"One, two, three, protego," Tag counted with the rest of them, casting up his shield. It was a simple spell compared with conjuring, but he was wondering how Professor Clark planned to keep it permanent. Or were they going to stand here with the shield up until the potions were ready? After all this catching-and-holding-and-escaping, Tag was beginning to doubt the existence of the potions altogether. This was all just a cruel plot to make him want to own a monkey.

[Kaos.Doodles]

Watching the two legged things gather around her the Cheetah wondered why they had taken the ropes off. As they began to point there pointy sticks at her the Cheetah made a whimpering sound. She didn't trust those pointy sticks. Soon flashy lights came from the pointy things. Surprised that nothing had hit her the Cheetah looked around and tried to walk left and bumped into nothing. Again. Evil two legged things.

"Marky Sparky? New nickname is that?" Marco laughed, "I could be a super hero. But I don't think I could pull off the whole pants on top of trousers look. Or the lycra. Clings too much."

Rhiannon watched the cheetah wandering around between the shields. She felt kind of bad that the poor creature couldn't understand what was happening to it.

She tried to keep most of her focus on keeping the spell going. It wouldn't do to falter and accidentally let the cheetah get away. Taking a deep breath, she hoped that they wouldn't have to stand there holding the shields for too long. If they did, someone would have to figure out how to get food to them. And the Quidditch game was happening soon, and she knew at least three of them had to be there.

[Loki]

Yawning the monkey was stretching himself when he suddenly froze. He could move!! Opening his eyes, he looked around him. He could recognized where he was and also that some of them were guarding his furry friend. Inspecting the cage he was in, he noticed that they were not in very good condition which was making it easier for him as he pushed on of the bar. CLANG!! He had enough space now to get his body out here.

Jumping on one of the creature (Tag), he cuddle his head as if he was thanking him in some way. He wanted to be out for sometimes but he also wanted to see him too. then climbing on the window, he pushed it open and climb down. He was finally out.

[Droo]

Tag backed away from the cheetah, now that there were no ropes holding her jaws closed. Sure there might be a plate of food in front of her, but what if she preferred human heads?

"Amelia and I could stand on either side, Professor," Tag offered, then glanced around for a third wall-holder. Josh was preoccupied with his stress-induced hysteria, and the other kid had obviously been daydreaming. His eyes landed on one of his teammates. "Rhi's over there--she can hold up the other side."

Amelia and I could stand on either side, Professor she thought in a whiney voice... They told us not to try and petrify the animals she thought in her head... Prat!!


Jumping on one of the creature (Tag), he cuddle his head as if he was thanking him in some way. He wanted to be out for sometimes but he also wanted to see him too. then climbing on the window, he pushed it open and climb down. He was finally out.


Cassandra rolled her eyes and made her way to the door, "I'm on it professor!" as she passed Tag she 'accidentally' bumped into him, "Thanks Sevens, for losing him! I swear I can't see what Bucky saw in you!" she said as she ran out.

[Kaos.Doodles]

Watching as the Monkey made his way out the Cheetah wondered if she could do the same. All she had to do was make sure that the two legged things put down the pointy stick or destroy the walls. Giving a loud roar the Cheetah faced one of the two legged things in anger. A couple of seconds after she head butted the wall. And again. And again. The Cheetah was determined to break out.

[SilverTiger]

Rhiannon's eyes had widened a bit as the monkey had made a run for it, with Cassandra chasing after him and bumping into Tag. And then she was startled even more by the roar from the cheetah. Her eyes widened even more as she watched the cat try to break through one of their walls. Please, no. Let the walls hold, she thought frantically.

[PhoenixRising]

Amelia gasped as she heard some banging and the little devil monkey had broken free. Oh darn, but at least its not chomping on my books anymore! She had truthfully been afraid of what the monkey might have done to her belongings, and although she should be more concerned about keeping the darned thing contained, having it in her bag was not helpful.

Her attention quickly was startled though as she heard a roar coming from the cheetah. Tightening her grip on her wand, she prayed silently for the walls to hold. For if they didn't, then who knows what or whom that cheetah would attack first.

[Droo]

Cassandra walked to the CoMC classroom door.

Cheetah was still loose.

"Professor Clark? I re-apprehended the Monkey. I believe it will be safer if I just take him to professor Branxton on the fifth floor." She wondered if he was going to give her another 10 points for catching him again...

[Loki]

Still all cuddly in the creature's arms, the monkey respiration was calm and slow. He was at peace and not feeling any danger around him. He had no clue he was back in the same class or he would have run away without hesitation.

Dreaming about montain of bright yellow bananas with nuts and other type of food, he made some very soft sound.

[Droo]

Cassandra was cradling the monkey tenderly, petting it's head so it would remain asleep. She turned around in the doorway and made her way to the stairs. Branxton was probably still on the 5th floor.

[Seeker_Seven]

Gritting his teeth, Tag held on tight to his spellpath, even as Trelawney knocked into him on her way out. He resisted the impulse to drop the wall and hex her head so that it grew as big as her ego. Of course, if it worked, she wouldn't fit her way through the classroom doors.

He tried to ignore her, but the Bucky comment still bit his insides.

And now she was parading around with HIS monkey in her arms.

Staring straight ahead at Rhiannon and Amelia, Tag concentrated hard. The cheetah was getting angry. Like Tag.

[SilverTiger]

Rhiannon raised an eyebrow at the look on Tag's face. At this point, she almost wasn't sure if she should be afraid of the cheetah or the Quidditch captain. She had a feeling that his expression was brought about by Cassandra earlier, and didn't really think she could blame him. She knew that the Slytherin prefect had gotten her temper to flare before, and so figured she just had a talent for getting on people's bad sides.

Even with all this going through her head, she was happy to know that her part of the spell had withstood. The cheetah, who was still attempting to find a way out, was still contained by the shields.

[Kaos.Doodles]

As if her idea had worked the Cheetah notice something about the invisible wall had changed. The side where a boy (Tag) was point the stick at had in fact gotten weaker. Charging at the invisible thing the Cheetah instantly broke out. AH HA FREEDOM!! AGAIN! Growling at the two legged things the Cheetah ran out of the room quickly before they could turn the pointy sticks on her.

[SilverTiger]

Rhiannon rolled her eyes as the cheetah broke free. It appeared Tag's concentration had faltered just enough due to Trelawney's actions. But at least Professor Clark couldn't get angry at her for losing another creature. She had held up her end. But she felt sorry for Tag. Under the circumsatnces, Trelawney shouldn't have done that.
