Patrick stared at the tank. His mind went thru a very short list of water creatures that the professor might have in the tank.

Sangeetha looked curiously at the tank. What was in the tank, she didnt know. But she would find out soon enough. She closed her book and put down her quill and gripped her wand inside her robe pocket.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Jennifer Kaye Wilson | Jen gazed blankly at the tank. Not be able to think of any water creatures able to be kept in a tank of that size she waited patiently for the professor to unveil the creature.

Adz's eyes moved between the professor and the tank. She could see something moving in there, but the murky waters were making it very hard to see. She simply nodded, realising that to find out what it was, she would have to wait...
She decided to make a short list of the main water creatures she had heard of, and see whether it was any of those
Lobalug, Mackled Malaclaw, Merpeople, Plimpy, Ramora, Shrake.....'um....those are all the main ones really' she thought.

Alex remained in her seat and wrote down everything that the Professor was saying. When she mentioned the tank, her gaze suddenly turned in its direction. She stared at it for a few minutes, forwning slightly but refused to get any closer to it.
Well, there was something moving but it was rather hard to see, considering the fact that the water was so dirty. Her wand was clutched tightly in her hand. She had a nasty habit of doing that. Surely she would break it one of these days.

Pacilla sat there, she had neatly written down some neat notes from the questions asked and waited patiently for Professor Dainsie to reveal what was inside the tank! She had just read the section of her herbology book that dealt with water creatures, and she had a few guesses but wasn't sure which creatures it would be.

| T l Guitar ♥ l l Bed Police l S [OOC: Sorry it took so long, had a minor emergencey and couldn't get on.] Professor Dainsie moved toward the tank. The water was not murky, the tank was covered. Reaching out her hand to grab the sheet, she tugged sharply and let it fall to the ground.
The students stared at the creatures in the tank, some seemingly knowing almost immediately what they were, others looking completely confused.
In the tank were two... fish? Brilliantly silver and about a foot in length each, they swam lazily through the water, stopping her and there to search for food on the sandy bottom.
Now, can anyone tell me what they are? |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Jason Larson First Year | Xavier had never seen the slithery underwater creatures before. He hadn't studied much about magical fish previously, unless you counted grindylows, but he was almost positive there were not grindylows.
Picking up his quill, he starts to draw a basic sketch of the creature. |

Peony stared at the... what had they been called? "Ramoras..." she repeated, looking at them.
She wondered if they were good to eat. Fish was fish, after all.

Now these fantasically magical fish are one of my favourite magical creatures. They have extroadinary abilities, but you can't tell for looking at them. Plus they protect and guard humans both muggle and magical. Sketching them would be a great idea.
So, what is the main facinating characteristic of the Ramora?
Clue: S_______ |

Nadia raised her hand, "The strength maybe? It can anchor boats so it's pretty impressive on that area."

Ozzy jotted some notes down, and returned his attention to the Professor.

"The Ramora is capable of anchoring ships...?" offered Peony, rather dubiously.

Has anyone heard any stories about the ramora, whether the seafarers realised it or not?

:Kelli thought to herself, and raised her hand: Professor, my uncle on my mums side, a muggle, was a fisherman on the Atlantic. He always told us of times they were sailing out to certain parts of the ocean, then would all of a sudden come to a hault. He could never figure out why, as they didn't seem to be stuck on anything. Once they would turn around and go back, they heard about a really bad storm that capsized many shipts. It was around Christmas, and he thought tinsel was holding him back, protecting him and his ship, because he saw silver wisps in the water. Professor, do you think they were ramora's?

Nadia raised her hand. "I heard there was a colony of ramoras in the depts of the Atlantic ocean, and where muggle were facinated how sharks and whales run at the sight of them, ramoras. Because of this, the muggle sailors made a couple of boats shaped with the shape of the ramora and painted them silver over another color, or just put a couple of shapes to look like them around the boats. Hence also why they tried hunting them down and always fail.
"Wizarding sailors knowns better and they actually bread them and use the road just over their colonies. Many even have them as pets and make sure to have one around, dropping it to the ocean when having problems anchoring. Otherwise, wizards actually dressed, deguised or animagi-transformed themselves into ramoras to avoid dangers, like, when swimming. But most times, ramoras would willingly help sailors.
"I believe it's from the ramoras that we get that one powerful strenghtening potions. There was this guy who said he was born half ramora, I heard, his body was brilliant silver painted. But I believe it was all to excuse himself at trial when he had hurt a wizard and he wanted to convince the Wizengamont he had unintentionally squished a person with his weight in an accident." She shrugged in the end of it.

Violet started taking notes again and also started to sketch the "ramora".
She thought to herself. "AH! I remember my grandfather telling me some kind of magical power protecting him from all these HUGE leeches in a pond while he was on a boat enjoying a view. He said it was very frightening but still the leeches never got him... He also it was amazing and that he would've wanted to thank whoever/whatever it was protecting him."
