The classroom is empty, but the door that leads to outside is wide open, meaning for you to go out and make yourself comfortable. A large pen is open, and a pair of huge horses with wings are strutting about. Professor Maline is casually sending sparks into the air with her wand, to keep the Abraxans in the pen, and as a warning to behave.

There are benches and bean bags scattered about for you to sit down on, and Professor Maline greets you with a smile.

Ryan raised her hand slowly. She was purely guessing here - she truly had no idea, except for the fact that it was enormous.
'Thirty feet?' she suggested, shrugging and smiling at the same time, shifting her gaze back up at the Abraxan.

Ariana nodded in responce to professor MAline, feeling her spirits rise a bit. She didn't want to do too much work today, in fact she honestly didn't want to do any, but relax in her oak tree and sleep. Or talk to Kerry, who she hadn't seen in a few days.

Looking around, she noticed a few students looked unnerved at the suggestion of flying the winged horses. It looked like Ari was the only one who had ever rode one, the wind rushign through her hair as she laughed happily. Those were great times back then, back when she had friends who spoke to her, before was ignored for no reason, Sighing slightly, she felt sad that she had no one to talk too, but she shook off the feeling and looked up, a smile on her face.

She put her head up when professor Maline sked a uestion about the size of the female Abraxan wings. She looked at the creature for a moment, sizing it up. Raising her hand she took a shot, "About 10-25 feet?" she guessed. She had a feeling it was shorter than that, she was awful with guessing lengths of things.

shortfry · 08-19-2007, 05:20 PM

Kerry just sat in awe of the giant creature's wingspan, it seemed 50 feet long, but she was sure it wasn't really that long, it was just that everything seemed larger to her in real life than they really were.

She raised her hand, "I would say at least 25 feet, I don't know...maybe a bit more."

kami12 · 08-19-2007, 05:21 PM

"About 20 or 30 feets" Ray answered.

starlightangel · 08-19-2007, 05:29 PM

Professor Maline nodded with a smile across her face as she watched the Abraxan come into land, "Yes you're all about right, although the females are slightly smaller than the males. The girls wingspan in about 30-35 feet, and the boys are 45-50 feet to get them in the air the wings have to be big."

Holding her wand out, she summoned several bottles of single-malt whiskey. "Ryan, Jasmine you two have just volunteered yourselves come up here." She grinned, holding the bottles out as the two Abraxans had just found Ariana really rather interesting as she struggled to stay awake.

hpfan4eva · 08-19-2007, 05:32 PM

Katelyn wrote down the answers in her neat handwiriting, and looked up as Professor Maline called on two persons to help her out with something. Katelyn grinned, and wondered what they would have to do. She was glad she wasnt called on.

DontCallMeNymphadora · 08-19-2007, 05:33 PM

Ryan smiled - she wasn't nervous of whatever she was meant to do. These were animals - beautiful, wonderful animals - and Ryan adored them.
She got up and walked over to Professor Maline.

Magical_Mione · 08-19-2007, 05:33 PM

Jasmine's eyes lit up and she immediately approached the professor and gave her a sassy salute, "Reporting for duty, ma'am!" she said as she took the offered whiskey and made to drink it teasingly."Oh how nice! No onetold me there would be refreshments!"

Golden Monkey · 08-19-2007, 05:41 PM

Ariana looked up and smiled as the two Abraxans started to find her interesting. She gazed at the two winged creatures, eyes full of wonder and glee, but also tiredness. She hoped she wouldn't get into trouble for not being her full fun loving self.

Her attention made its way towards Ryan and Jasmine who walked up to whre Maline was standing, holding bottles of Whiskey. She wrote some stuff down in her notebook, knowing this was going to be important. She didn't want to miss anything and gave them her full attention.

starlightangel · 08-19-2007, 05:48 PM

She laughed as Jasmine gave her a salute and curtsied in reply, "Well m'lady," She began, "Drink that for real and you're going down," She grinned but her eyes told Jasmine that she was completely serious. She tied the two Abraxans to a post and conjured up a podium for Jasmine and Ryan to stand on.

"Right then, Abraxans like to drink single-malt whiskey, it's like our water to them; but if an Abraxan were to drink water they would think they were drinking something alcoholic. So Jasmine and Ryan are going to show the rest of you, how to give an Abraxan a drink safely. Considering that Abraxans are so large unless you have a trough the size of a swimming pool you're not going to be able to give them a drink properly without them getting stuck. So Jas, Ryan, up on the podium either side of the Abraxan if you please." She said, gesturing to the female who was studying the class curiously.

confusion.girl · 08-19-2007, 05:53 PM

Cora sat at the front of the class, making notes and listening carefully to what Professor Maline said. She laughed at Jasmine's comment and then put down her quill and watched in interest at what would happen next.

hpfan4eva · 08-19-2007, 05:54 PM

Katelyn thought that was rather funny, so she smiled as she wrote down some more notes. She looekd back up at the front of the class, still smiling. This was a pretty cool lesson so far, and she liked it. She folded her arms which were wrapped around her notebook, and stuck the quill behind her ear so she wouldnt lose it.

DontCallMeNymphadora · 08-19-2007, 05:55 PM

Ryan stepped up on the podium, looking at the Abraxans interestedly. She then looked back at Professor Maline, waiting for the next instructions.

Magical_Mione · 08-19-2007, 05:57 PM

Jasmine smiled and gave her a wink, "No worries Professr Maline, I have recently sworn off whiskey."

She then took on a serious expression and listened to the professor carefully. She held the bottles carefully as the professor explained what was to happen.

Nodding her head, she approached the Abraxan slowly, humming softly under her breath as she did so. Stepping up on one of the podiums, she admired the giant, winged Palamino and waited patiently for the rest of Professor Maline's instructions.

confusion.girl · 08-19-2007, 06:05 PM

Cora leant forward slightly in her chair and admired the Abraxens, grinning jealously up at Jas. She beamed at Professor Maline and made a mental note to thank her for an amazing lesson at the end.

Golden Monkey · 08-19-2007, 06:06 PM

Ariana watched as Jasmine and Ryan both walked up to the Abraxan and waited to see how to feed them. She began writing little notes to herself in her notebook not wanting to miss a thing. She stiffled another yawn with hre hand, pretending to cough slightly.

starlightangel · 08-19-2007, 06:23 PM

"Ryan, can you place your hands gently, just under the jaw, right back by the neck and press firmly with your fingers. If you do it right she should tip her neck right back and open her mouth a bit." She instructed Ryan with a smile as she rubbed the Abraxan soothingly so it didn't decide to kick out.

While Ryan did that, she opened a couple of bottles for Jasmine and turned to the rest of the class. "Abraxans are thought to have got their name from 'Abraxus' one of the winged horses that pulled the chariot of Helios the muggles ancient Greek God Helios, God of the Sun. However...we all know muggles get thier myths and legends from our animals, but it is truly unknown who named these creatures."

She turned back to Jasmine, and smiled, "Right now very gently, place the top of the bottle just before the teeth, so if she decides to bite she'll get no glass in her mouth. That is important class!" She said sternly, then said to Jasmine again, "Tip it up slowly, she should start swallowing, Ryan, keep your hands there."

hpfan4eva · 08-19-2007, 06:26 PM

Katelyn, in between glancing up at the front of the class, would write down everything Professor Maline just said, including her own little notes. She smiled, and put her quill back behind her ear, and let her eyes wonder over the class before settling them at the front of the class, to watch the happenings. She was really curious to see what would happen.

DontCallMeNymphadora · 08-19-2007, 06:30 PM

Ryan obeyed, smiling.
'This is amazing,' she whispered, soft pink streaks appearing in her hair without her realising it. She had never been so close to an animal this wonderful before, let alone this big.

confusion.girl · 08-19-2007, 06:34 PM

Cora scribbled down the part about making sure the Abraxen didn't get glass in her mouth and then watched, eagerly. Her blue eyes widened in delight and she let out a soft sigh.

"They're beautiful." She whispered.

Golden Monkey · 08-19-2007, 06:34 PM

Ariana watched, her quill scribbling furiously on her notebook, not missing a single word of the speech. She looked carefully at how Ryans hands were placed, and how the Abraxan seemed to respond well to her touch. She jotted down a note to herself and looked back up, her bronze eyes squinting in the sunlight as she watched Jasmine slwowly tip the bottle into the first Abraxans mouth.

Nodding to herself, she continued writing things down. She had to know this stuff if she wanted her own refuge when she was older, taking care of creatures like this.When she was finished making her notes, she looked over at professor Maline with rampt attention, waiting for more.

Magical_Mione · 08-19-2007, 06:37 PM

Jasmine listened intently to what the professor was saying and watched as Ryan did as she was told and the Abraxan moved it's neck back and opened it's mouth.

She smiled at Ryan and whispered,"Yes it is amazing isn't it?"

Taking the opened bottles of single-malt whiskey from the professor, Jasmine carefully placed the first bottle just in front of the teeth where if the Abraxan bit down it wouldn't break it. Tilting it up slowly she watched in satisfaction as the the enchanting creature began to swallow the beverage happily.

hpluvr037 · 08-19-2007, 06:48 PM

Emily watched in awe from her bench as Jasmine and Ryan performed their tasks. She didn't think she'd have the guts to get so close to such a large creature, even such beautiful ones.

starlightangel · 08-19-2007, 06:52 PM

"Abraxans can get through up to 20 bottles of whiskey in one sitting, so you need a lot of money to be able to own one of these and feed them properly. Abraxans are like horses as you may well have guessed and their diet consists of grasses, vegtables and fruits. Only you would need a bath tub sized amount of food to feed them properly, both lunch and dinner," She explained to the class.

"Jasmine, Ryan, if you can switch round so that you each get a turn at feeding her." She said to the pair feeding the Abraxan.

hpfan4eva · 08-19-2007, 06:57 PM

Katelyn took her quill form behind her ear, and opened her notebook again. She wrote down even more notes, and added some of her own. She smiled, and stuck the quill behind her ear once again. She glanced up at the beautiful creatures, a smile spread across her pretty face, and she chuckled softly. She really liked this class, and she knew now why Dan liked it too.
