Kayla sloshed through the snow down to the paddock, extremely excited about getting up close and personal with the unicorns. Yeah she had been around them before but the feeling of excitement never stopped.

Allie stepped out into the cold, excited about seeing the unicorns. She walked through the snow, and went to go stand near the professor. She couldn't wait for the unicorns to come out.

"Ohhh." Celandine let out a happy little sigh and stopped next to Allie, shooting a contented little smile at the Gryffindor girl as if to say how-lucky-are-we?

Copernicus approached the paddock with caution. The adult unicorn wouldn't want anything to do with him, but perhaps he'd be able to get close to the foal. He stood next to Cela at the fence before giving her a panicked look and scooting down just a bit. Ugh. He was bad at this.

Cam proceeded and followed the students, thinking about the unicorns and the purdiful unicorns. To him they were just horses with a horn glued on top of their foreheads and that they were really all awesome and thingies! He thought on riding on one, he'd be some sort of a unicorn rider. Buuuut... what if they acted like some wild chicken? That and the fact they couldn't bring their wands with them. It made him feel all scared, yet excited at the same time. Luckily for Cam, his poking finger was working perfectly fine today and so he could possibly poke the unicorns if it was allowed.

Are unicorns all squishy when you poke them? Ewww. Trying to pull that thought away from him, and then lightly kicked the snow with his foot and trying to clear the way. What if those unicorns had a diet for eating poking boys. EEEEEK. What if Professor Morgan let loose all of the unicorns and they went all ballistic on the students?! More thoughts though, more scary thoughts. "Lalalalala unicorns, all the purdy unicorns we'll get ta seeeeeee!"

"Oooooh maybe some breed of unicorns be like, different-colored. Not silver and stuff. Like... pink. Or blue!" he said and quietly added, "Maybe even rainbow-colored!" Quickly he walked over to that Ravenclaw girl that smelled real nice and waited for Professor to get those cool-lookin' unicorns of hers.

Twilight walked carefully down to the paddocks very excited. She had never been near a unicorn before. SHe crefully stood next to the other three female students. She smiled shyly at them.

Reese headed to the paddock with the rest of the student.When she arrived at the paddock,she went over to stand next to Allie.She was pumped about seeing the unicorns.

Becca casually meandered down to the paddock and headed directly for the cutest guy present - who, she could tell by the back of heads, happened to be a tall older student with cute looking hair. She casually wandered over and stood next to him, her hands in her pockets, before realizing it was that Copernicus fellow. Aw. He had to be less complicated than Plymouth. Maybe she could casually get to know him through this lesson. Because really, she WANTED to - and not just because he was cute. He was the one causing Plymouth grief, after all. He must be pretty rad.

Plymouth went to stand up front. If Professor Morgan was going to be picking volunteers for unicorn riding - he wanted to be up front. Yep. He was good and quiet though, only a little fidgety. He leaned in to whoever was next to him and asked, "What were their names again? I forget..."

Anna followed the professor and her classmates through the snow and into the school paddock. As she walked, she admired the beautiful white grounds around her. Hogwarts was such a beautiful place, especially during this time of year. At least the sun was out and the weather was a tad bit warmer, too. When she reached the gates, Anna passed through them and moved to stand by a few of her friends. She couldn't wait to get an up close and personal experience with the unicorns!

Oh, perfect.

Not only would she have to deal with the dangerous unicorns, but she would also have to endure the cold. Granted, Willow had never heard or read or been told that a unicorn was dangerous, but the single fact that unicorns were not human beings had her thinking that she would most likely get killed by one of the creatures if she got close enough to them.

Brushing her bangs out of her eyes with one swift movement, before wrapping her arms around herself, the girl finally reached the paddock and claimed a spot that was a bit far away from the rest of the class.

There was no doubt in Willow's mind that they were all excited about this. And since she was not, there was no need for her to get any closer to them.

Dark, long eyebrows pulled together in the slightest as she waited for the class to resume.

Jake limped out to the paddock-y place, feeling increasingly apprehensive. Sure, he loved all animals. Sure, unicorns were cool.

But, they were big, they had big teeth and they had the ability to drop on top of you and that would hurt.

So Jake hung back a bit lot, watching from behind as the others approached. He'd never like people or things or creatures towering over him, which was unlucky for him, being so small. Nervously, he waited.

Herminny put on her sweater and coat as she exited the stables and followed the professor out back and entered through the gates of a padlock fence and waited there for the porofessor to give further instruction. She was exited cause she could sense that her and her classmates would probably be getting a close up experience with fully grown unicorns pretty soon.

Mariel slowly followed a few other students down to the paddock, covering a yawn with one hand. The girl was tired. And somewhat distracted, not to mention freezing. It was days like these that the Ravenclaw could not understand why in Merlin's name the typical 'outdoor' classes could not, just once, be held indoors. Sure, it wouldn't be feasible to study unicorns inside, but surely they could find some kind of creature to study in the warm comfort of a classroom, right?

It's not like she had a choice, though, so the 13 year old trudged along through the snow, thankful for donning her boots today. Finding a spot on the outer fringe of students, Mariel bounced slightly with arms crossed to regain some circulation and waited for the next part of the class.

The professor pushed the stable doors open and without any prompting, Calpurnia cantered out to the yard, holding her head up proudly so the students could see how exquisite she actually was. Iliana rolled her eyes slightly as she closed the doors and followed behind with Kimber.

Slowly, she led the unicorns through the gate and brought them in front of her eager students. "Yes, yes, yes. We all are quite impressed with you," she announced sarcastically. Standing in between both unicorns, Iliana called for the class' attention. "Okay now, gather round. I want you to form two separate single file lines for me. In front of Calpurnia, I want all of the girls. And boys… you're here in front of Kimber. You are each going to slowly approach your unicorn, one at a time and offer her your hand, palm-side down. If she likes you, she will bow her head slightly and allow you touch her. You may choose to brush her, pet her or simply tell her a little about yourself. When you're finished, please step aside for the next student."

"Now before you begin, please keep one thing in mind. Unicorns a gentle, docile creatures, but that should not fool anyone into thinking that they can't be aggressive. So let"s keep our heads out here and remember what I said before. Remain calm and call me if you have a problem."

"Oh and I almost forgot. Professor Truebridge has asked for a favor. It seems his little Chihuahua puppy is in need of a name. So, please give me some doggy name suggestions for him while you wait your turn. Then at the end of class, we will take a vote.

Dominic sloshed out in the snow towards the paddocks. So they would be caring for unicorns today; this was not something that the fifth year was terribly fond of but nonetheless, here he was. Enduring the unicorns and the slushy snow, two things that a steamy cup of hot cocoa would fix afterward. Or perhaps a hot mug of butterbeer.

Burying his hands into his robe pockets, Dom walked over to an area with few students. Actually, other than one with dark hair, there was none standing by him except maybe four or five feet at minimum distance from him. She looked exceptionally cold, but Dom made no further movements and just waited to see what more the lesson would bring.

Herminny happened to be one of the first in line for the girls line and even though she was a little hesitant as she approched Calpurinia she bowed so Herminny calmly put her hand out to pet the unicorn with her palm side down thinking this was so cool and took her hand off the unicorn and left the line to give the next girl a chance.

Letting out a sneeze, Emiliano stepped into the paddocks and listened as Professor Morgan mentioned Professor Truebridge wanting a name for a pet. Well, if he had something to think about now.

But, there were things to concentrate. Unicors. They would be in front of them and maybe being able to take care of them. So, he went to form the line, though having in mind that of course, Unicorns were more fond of girls.

Mariel's green eyes followed Professor Morgan as she let loose the unicorns. Woah, there were a lot of instructions to follow when being in the presence of unicorns, which meant only one thing to the Ravenclaw girl... potential danger. Keeping her eyes warily on the animals, which even she had to admit were quite beautiful and magnificent, she slowly walked over to stand in line with the rest of the girls of the class.

Aha, knew it! She heard nothing more after the word 'aggressive' was spoken. And although being right felt somewhat satisfying, it didn't make her feel any better about approaching the creatures. At least she wasn't first. The 13 year old took a few calming breaths in anticipation and watched those in front of her, keeping one eye on, um... Calpurnia? Yes, that was it.

Via joined the other students as they went out to the paddocks for the unicorns. She was excited to care for one. She haven't seen a real one though. And as two unicorns appeared as Professor Morgan opened the stable doors, Via smiled. They're really beautiful.

She listened to the Professor's instruction and she stood in the line of girls infront of the unicorn Professor Morgan had named Calpurnia. They are going to touch the unicorns. She waited until her turn and she offered her hand, palm-side down as she slowly approached the unicorn. Remembering what the professor said that they should be calm. For a moment Via thought the unicorn would knock her but then it slowly bowed its head and that was the sign. She pet the unicorn's head and said hello. Thinking that was enough she slowly distanced herself away for the next student.

Emalyn took her place in the paddocks, listening for instructions from the professor, who didn't hasten to give any.
She didn't know many people, except for Jake and Dominic, whom were both a part of the Hufflepuff quidditch team, along with Emalyn. She smiled at them, but returned her attention to the waiting unicorns.

She did as she was told and got in line to see Calpurnia. She was such a beautiful creature, Emalyn found it hard to look away. When it became her turn to approach the unicorn, she outstretched her hand, trying to breathe deeply, but slowly. The wrong thing would be to startle the poor thing. It finally bowed it's head and Emalyn found herself smiling, outstretching her arm further and petting her on her head gently. "Hello, you cutie pie, you." she whispered, before moving aside for the next student.

Kayla took a couple of steps towards Calpurnia but still left at least six feet between them. She held out her hand, palm faced downwards. She stood absolutely still and never took her eyes off the unicorn and she patiently waited for him to come to her. It took only a few moments before Calpurnia walked those last few steps and reached her side where he sniffed her hand once and then he brought his head up towards her face and nuzzled her cheek.

She chuckled softly and brought her hand up slowly and stroked the unicorn softly just under his jaw. Kayla moved around Calpurnia slowly as she trailed her hands gently along the unicorn's body. Moving back up to his head, she whispered into his ear, "You are one of the most beautiful unicorns I have ever seen and I have seen a few." Running her hands through the unicorn's mane, "I hope we get the chance to go for a ride" Kayla said softly before moving back to the line to let the next student have a go.

And then the unicorns and professor Morgan arrived, and Willow took an automatic -albeit little- step back. Sure unicorns were very lovely-looking, but that didn't mean the fifth year wanted to get close to them.

She did not want to die. She was only sixteen years old, for crying out loud.

Right. Perhaps Willow was being a drama queen, because the girl was sure that Professor Morgan would not let any of her precious creatures to touch her -or bite, kick, or whatever it was that unicorns did to defend themselves- but she still didn't want to get any closer. It wasn't like willingly touching an animal was something she did on a daily basis. Heck--the Ravenclaw forgot she had an owl half of the time!

Well, hopefully the would just have stare at them.

Riiiiiiight.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself as Morgan instructed that they would have to touch the cratures, Willow nervously started to twirl one dark strand of hair around her fingers.

. . . Of course they are aggresive, woman! They are animals. Willow wanted to tell the professor as soon as she explained that they could indeed defend themselves -or attack for no reason, really, for the girl was sure they would start to do that at any second- and that they should be careful.

Careful. Right. She could do that. As long as the thing didn't bite her, she would be fine--and so would the unicorn, of course, for Willow would definitely bite back if one of the creatures decided they wanted to see if she a good taste or not.

Tucking the strand of hair she'd been playing behind her left air, and shoting the male Hufflepuff prefect -who was now standing by her- a quick glance, Willow slowly went to stand in line with the rest of the girls that were part of this class.

Good thing she wasn't first. And as far as she was concerned, all the girls that had yet to join them could go ahead and touch and talk (she was NOT going to talk to a unicorn) to the creatures before her. Perhaps if that happened, the class would end before her turn to get closer to the unicorns arrived.

She crossed her fingers for that to happen.

It didn't seem to take long for Professor Morgan to bring the unicorns out; or rather for her to simply open the stable doors and then the two creatures proudly and distinctly walked into the yard, showing off slightly. In some regards, he found their beauty to be alluringly comforting. To know that there are creatures present who could be as beautifully stunning as he was.

Listening to Morgan begin, sarcastically, Dom rolled his eyes subtly as he shot a look over towards the Ravenclaw Captain who appeared as though she would rather be hiding under a boulder than here with creatures. Sighing at the vastly uncomfortable captain, Dom turned his attention back to Morgan and lined up as was directed, in front of 'Kimber'. Separate lines from the girls; this was already a good start.

The bad start was that he appeared to be at the front of the line, which meant that he was going first. Oh, which could be a good thing in the regards that he could get this over with first. And then relax.

Slowly, he approached the unicorn. Once he was close enough to the unicorn, he smiled weakly. "Hi... Kimber." He spoke softly, offering his hand, palm-side down and awaiting the reaction from the beautifully articulated creature. It only took a moment or two for the creature to respond, but it felt like hours with his hand outstretched. Sauntering the few feet between them, the unicorn sniffed his hand curiously. A small smile brooding on his lips, Dom anxiously rubbed the back of his hand along the silky smoothness of it's hide. It oddly felt as comforting and relaxing as it's alluring appearance had.

Once he was done, the fifth year stepped to the side to allow the next male in line his turn with Kimber, as he cautiously scourgified his hand and then set to thinking about the last request of the Professor's. That was to name the Chihuahua puppy of Truebridge. Odd request, but he would try to think of something...
