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 nodded slowly, smiling anxiously. Okay...now she felt nervous. There was so much to remember, so much to do and so much not to do... plus the fact that she was unbearably clumsy, what if she tripped and hurt the Abraxan? The ends of her hair curled slightly, and began to cycle through dull rainbow colours, a sign that she was nervous and confused by all she had to remember.

Magical_Mione · 08-19-2007, 07:12 PM

Jasmine nodded and smiled as she let the Abraxan finish the bottle. She then set the empty bottles down and slowly felt along the Abraxan's silky coat until she reached the spot on the neck just behind the jaw. Pressing firmly yet gently, she smiled as the Abraxan immediately tilted it's head back and opened it's mouth for the next bottle of whiskey.

As she listened to the professor she wondered about something and asked softly so as not to disturb the giant horse. "Professor Maline, why is it that the Abraxan is more desired than the other winged horses like the Aethonians,Granians, and even Thestrals? I would love to have a Thesrtal, they are so fast!"

Golden Monkey · 08-19-2007, 07:16 PM

Ariana wrote in her notebook Abraxans like grasses and vegtables and drrink more than I can afford. She was listening carefully as she watched the two students switch places, smiling slightly as Ryan looked a bit nervous. Throwing a smile at the young girl she bent down and continued writing, adding her own notes to the mix as she remembered stuff from her last encounter with one of the beautiful creatures.

Ari's head popped up as Jasmine asked a question about Abraxans. Listening carefully, she didn't want to miss a thing.

DontCallMeNymphadora · 08-19-2007, 07:21 PM

Ryan bit the sleeve of her jumper, hesitating nervously. Her hands shook, and the colours in her hair were growing a tad brighter now. She tried to hide them, but she couldn't.

Madfish · 08-19-2007, 07:26 PM

Jackie was beaming up at the Abraxans, watching Ryan feed one of them. She smiled reassuringly at Ryan, knowing how clumsy she could be when she was nervous. Jackie layed down her ntoes and raised her hand timidly.
"Um... Professor Maline? Are there Abraxans at Beauxbatons? My friend who goes there told me there were strange horses living on the grounds..."

starlightangel · 08-19-2007, 07:28 PM

Ophelia was about to show the class the next thing to do when it came to Abraxans when Jasmine asked her something. She smiled, tilted her head to the side as she thought and wandered over to go and get the male Abraxan as she continued to put her answer together.

"Threstrals have the death connotation, with their skelatal beings, and the fact they remain invisible to those who have not seen death they are not that wanted. Regardless, they do have an eathreal beauty to those who understand them. People also think that Threstrals are related to dementors with the death thing, and like a dementor, they are skelatal. That isn't true at all. Threstrals are also fairly dangerous, and you need to treat them right.

An Aethonon with the Granians are not as strong or as large as the Abraxan. They are equally as beautiful as the Abraxan, but from the middle ages, the Wizarding lower used Aethonons and Granians to travel and do farm work. They both still have a lower class connotation that people do not want to be associated with. However, they are missing out because both of the Granians and Aethonon are just as powerful as the Abraxan, yet smaller.

Abraxans are much more appealing as you are more likely to find white ones than the greys, browns and blacks of the others. White has much more positive connotations, that people would like to see. They are a status symbol and are generally much more desirable." She explained to the class as she lead the other Abraxan to the fence and ran her hand back over it's flanks to it's back hoof so the class could see her next action.

confusion.girl · 08-19-2007, 07:32 PM

Cora watched Ryan grow more and more nervous, and realised with a jolt that she was no longer the only metamorphmagus in Hogwarts. This was a slight blow, and the ends of her hair turned firey red, before returning to its usual, vibrant pink.

She sighed, and continued to jot down notes.

Magical_Mione · 08-19-2007, 07:35 PM

Jasmine listened to the professor's answer to her question as she watched her tend to the male Abraxan. "Well I think they are all beautiful equally."

Glancing back at Ryan, she gave the nervous girl a warm encouraging smile and whispered, "No worries Ryan, you are doing just fine. Just don't forget to place the end of the bottle in front of the teeth."

Golden Monkey · 08-19-2007, 07:38 PM

Ariana nodded, following everything the professor had said, writing short form statements in her notebook. This was all fasinating and she figured she'd need this if she was to do what she wanted when she was older.

Filling three full pages of fasinating stuff in her book she closed it for a moment and went on to look at the others around her. She was happy she couldn't feel their emotions, quite frankly she'd probably go mad and start crying if she did. She noticed one girls' hair tips turn a fiery red and figured she was angry at something, what she couldn't figure out, but shook off the feeling and continued looking.

She watched as Ryan walked up to the Abraxans' mouth and started feeding it the everage, then turned her attention to Maline, who was styanding next to the other Abraxan by the fence.

DontCallMeNymphadora · 08-19-2007, 07:38 PM

Ryan was relieved as she finished, her hair fading back to normal. It was amazing - but incredibly nerve-wracking, for a clumsy idiot like herself. She listened to Professor Maline's explanation. She immediately liked the sound of the Thestrals, knowing that she would be able to see them. They sounded misunderstood. She remembered reading something in Hogwarts: A History about Thestrals.
'Professor,' she said, raising her hand. 'Are there any Thestrals at Hogwarts?'.

TheGirlWhoLived_818 · 08-19-2007, 07:39 PM

Dani was amazed by the class and the beauty of the creatures.

hpfan4eva · 08-19-2007, 07:41 PM

Katelyn scribbled down everything the professor said, and smiled. Threstrals were really beautiful, and it was too bad not everyon could see them. BUt then again, to see them you have to watch someone die, and Katelyn didnt think everyone would like that. She shrugged, and looked back to the front of the classroom, back into reality.

TheGirlWhoLived_818 · 08-19-2007, 07:45 PM

Dani wrote down everything smiling.

Madfish · 08-19-2007, 07:48 PM

Jackie jotted down as much of what professor Maline was saying as possible, while thinking about Thestrals. She didn';t want anyone to die, but she wished she could see what they looked like just once. Loads of people had told her Thestrals were horrible, but Jackie wasn't one to judge people or animals by their appearance.

TheGirlWhoLived_818 · 08-19-2007, 08:11 PM

Dani kept looking at the creatures smiling.

Godric_Gryffindor · 08-19-2007, 08:20 PM

Smiling Si started taking a small sketch of the Abraxan in between taking notes about the creatures more interesting facts.

Waterloo · 08-19-2007, 08:22 PM

Clifford sat quietly scribbling down notes on his parchment as quickly as he could. He listened as the professor spoke about Thestrals and gave a small shudder, the creatures scared him, he hadn't told anyone that he could see them. He turned to look at the Abraxan, taking in its natural beauty.

hpfan4eva · 08-19-2007, 08:27 PM

Katelyn looked around the class, and frowned as people looked a bit frightened when she mentioned threstrals. Oh pulease, they are really pretty. And not scary at all! she thought to herself, and she faced forward again. She didnt care what people thought if she said she could see them, it didnt bother her one bit.

starlightangel · 08-19-2007, 08:28 PM

"Yes there are Threstrals at Hogwarts but they're extremely well trained." She answered as she skillfully picked up the males hoof. He turned his head around to look at Ophelia slightly annoyed and Ophelia looked back with a slight grin on her face, "Yes i stole your hoof, you can have it back in a moment," She laughed but it was drowned out by the Abraxan giving a disgruntled whinny.

"Ok class! You need to clean out the hooves. You don't want to aggrovate an Abraxan as being underneath these could easily kill you. So stand behind the leg, and tap behind the knee gently, and you should end up with the knee by your hip, take the hoof in your hand, wand in the other, and gently clean it out with water, and a scorigify charm." She explained and placed the hoof back.

"Well done Jasmine and Ryan, 5 points each, i would stop letting her have a drink now, i already gave her an awful lot." Ophelia said as she went over to the wing.

She ran her hand over the top of the wing, and the Abraxan stretched it out. "To clean the wing, get out your wand, and with a simple aquamenti charm aim in the direction of the hair which is away from the bone and wash down. Don't worry about drying him off, Abraxans take a quick flight and they're clean." She explained with a grin.

She then moved so she was at the wing joint and summoned a jar of cream out of her office that she had forgotten to take out with her. "This is where you get your hands dirty!" She exclaimed gleefully. Conjuring up a podium like the one she'd given Ryan and Jasmine she climbed up and made sure the class could see. "The wing joint attracts lots of dirt and can get stiff so you need this lovely bright green cream to massage into the joint - gently, and to clean it too," She explain dropping down from the podium and leaving the cream on it.

"For the rest of the Abraxan, a water charm in the direction of the hair will suffice. Now they both need to be fed, and the male needs to have a drink. They need to be cleaned all over, that is your task for today. You need to have a go at each of the activites before you can go, so make sure you leave something for the person after you to do." She grinned, trying the male up to the fence and summoning up some more podums.

Ooc - Right. You know i mentioned the mass of RPing...well here you go! I'll post up the homework in the next post. The class will now consist of your RP's and i'll still be about. Points will be rewarded for your RPing of the tasks.

TheGirlWhoLived_818 · 08-19-2007, 08:34 PM

Dani started scetchin a thestral

hpfan4eva · 08-19-2007, 08:40 PM

Katelyn didnt really know what to do, so she closed her notebook gently, and pushed it in her bag along with her quill. She looked around to see what others were doing, but it seemed that no one had moved. She wondered if they were confused like she was.

DontCallMeNymphadora · 08-19-2007, 08:53 PM

Ryan had already given the Abraxan a drink, so she decided to try cleaning a hoof.
She followed Professor Maline's instructions, and cleaned it out gently with the water, smiling warmly at the Abraxan. These really were fantastic creatures. She then performed the part she had been dreading - the Scourgify charm, which she had really never been too good at....
'Scourgify,' she said clearly, pointing her wand at the Abraxan's hoof. She was pleased by the results - even though they weren't exactly perfect - and stepped back, smiling.

Golden Monkey · 08-19-2007, 08:55 PM

Ariana grinned happily as she wrote down what to do, knowing she'd do ewll with this. She had a way with creatures it seemed, they knew she didn't mean any harm, and they were right. She hated seeing injured creatures, always wanting to help them if she could. Feeling another yawn coming, she quickly stiffled it, thinking 'I'm awake I will not sleep until its time. I can do this.'

Putting her notebook on the ground beside her eagle feathered quill she got up, from her bean bag chair and stretched, watching as no one moved. It seemed she'd have to be the first one to try it, good thing she knew the Scougrify charm she thought as she eyed the Abraxan, wondering where to start. She felt a prickling nerousness overcome her and knew it wasn't her own emotion. Shaking it off, she walked carefully towards the Abraxan neaerst her, the female it seemed and gaxed int its eyes.

Deciding she'd try to clean the hooves first, she walked up to the Abraxan, smiling gently showing it no fear. She didn't fear the creature, actually she thought it was gorgeous. Stopping behind the Abraxan, she looked at its feet, suddenly wondering what it would feel like to get hit by it. Probably would hurt a lot she thought with a shake of her head. Reaching up to pet it, she stroked the creature and smiled a bit more. Feeling confident, she bent down to where the knee joint was and gently tapped behind it.

Sure enough she saw that the knee was now by her hip. Feeling very confident now, she took out her wand as she picked up its hoof and took a deep cleansing breath. She hoped her exsaustion wouldn't effect her spell-casting. Surrounding herself with good thoughts she waved her wand, pointed it to the hoof and said "Sourgify." in a calm voice. The hoof, which had been slightly dirty before, suddenly became clean. Not exactly spotless mind you, but good enough for her purposes she though.

She noticed there was still a bit of muck in the hoof, where the spell hadn't reachedd, so she used her wand to make a small fountain of water and gently cleaened the edges, making sure the hoof was cleaner. It looked good to her and she nodded, satisfied with the results of her work. Turning to look at professor Maline, she grinned happily and stood back to allow another student to try. If she could do it in her sleepy state, anyone could she thought.

Waterloo · 08-19-2007, 09:02 PM

Clifford pushed his notes roughly into his bag and got to his feet. He approached the Abraxan nervously, they were meant to clean it? He couldn't help feel a little nervous, standing so close to it.
He wasn't normally good at cleaning spells but decided to give it a try, he moved behind a leg and gently tapped behind the knee, trying to urge the Abraxan to give him his hoof. He grinned as the Abraxan raised his hoof, maybe this wouldn't be so hard after all. "Scorigify," he muttered, pointing his wand at the hoof. He saw some of the dirt disappear, but it wasn't a very good job, he still hadn't mastered these spells very well.

He moved away from leg and approached the podium, he took a handful of the bright green cream and climbed on the podium in order to massage it into the wing joint. He massaged it as gently as he could, not wanting to hurt the Abraxan, he watched as some of the dirt vanished and grinned.

He jumped from the podium and looked at the Abraxan, smiling. "You're gonna be clean once this class is over, aren't you!" He moved back to watch his classmates carry on the cleaning, his hands still covered in bright green cream.
