Ooh drawing! Hugo took out his sketchbook from his bag and started sketching away.

When Hugo walked out the corner, he gasped loudly. "I guess they do have magic, those muggles," Hugo whispered to the next person.

WHAT!?

Why wasn't she allowed to rawr at Evelyn, hmm? That dinorawr behind the fence was doing it! And yes, Destiny is a follower and she likes to do things everyone else is doing. Or in this case, she likes to do things every dinorawr was doing and that was rawr at Evelyn!

"Sorry, Professor."

No, she really wasn't.



Especially because she got a good look at her friend's face!

BWAHAHAHA!!

Destiny should have brought a camera with her. That would have been a perfect camera snapping moment and she would be able to tease her friend with the photo forever! "Don't DO what!?" she guffawed laughed, simply rubbing the spot on her arm that was so roughly pushed.

Of course the laughing stopped once Evelyn started to whisper and she had a very good point. Except for one thing. "I did hear! But I didn't hear the Professor say 'elecktrinots'. I heard her say eleftrinots." Big difference. As big as the dinorawr itself. The same dinorawr they were going to capture.

It'll be like a super, secret spy mission. Too bad Destiny forgot her butterfly net.

"I'm not sure how much, but it has to be at least five galleons, right?" Now all they needed was a plan on how to capture the thing.

Destiny had seen people steal things from museums on the muggle box quite a few times. Only those people only stole paintings or diamonds, so she wasn't quite sure how they would steal a dinorawr. Magic would be so useful right now, they'd be able to tie the dinorawr up and then levitate out the window.

Because one must go out the window when you steal from a museum.

Grinning as Mia came up to them, she was just about to suggest hopping on the things back and tying a rope around it's neck when the Hufflepuff had mentioned when the muggles go home. WHY DIDN'T SHE THINK OF THAT!? Although being in the museum with a crazy I'mma-eat-everything-in-sight-dinorawr was slightly frightening..and that explained why those other dinorawrs had no skin. This T-Rex ate it all.

"You mean the muggles go home? And when they do go home, we can use magic?"

Vital information!

It was true. One can totally feel eyes on them, especially if those eyes are beady and belong to your arch enemy. And in Destiny's case, those beady eyes belonged to her arch enemy, Raccoon Girl. Why was she looking at her, hmm?

Jealous of her rawring skillz?

"I hope the dinorawr eats her."

Cass, who had just been absently walking with the class turned around when Professor Saylen mentioned someone who wanted to meet them.

Who could they possibly meet in a place of dead stuff? Then when they rounded the corner, an ear-splitting roar was heard and Cass couldn't stop the small scream that escaped her mouth. Okay, that thing...was definitely not dead...

She immediately rushed to the professor's side, hoping to gain solace simply her presence. Then she asked "P-P--Professor, why is it moving? Shouldn't...shouldn't it,be...like..uh...dead?"

Emily was enjoying the tour of the museum, when suddenly there came avery loud "RRRRAAAAWWWWRRRR"
Emily jumped so high she could have been flying.
"My goodness", she said audibly as she looked up at the toweing figure.
Emily was astounded by how life-like the dinosoaur seemed to be... it was huge! and it was moving! and making sounds!!!

Emily stood there, she could barely take her eyes off it.

Trixie had hung back since they had apparates to the museum. Not exactly comfortable with being in a place with such close proximity to Muggles, the Head Girl kept up with the rest of the group but didn't answer the questions. She didn't know much about these dinosaurs or whatever they were called, anyway. Her eyes wandered around as the group walked along the paths, looking at bones and stuff. That was until they stopped.

Her eyes widened as they appeared alongside a big scary thing that was... Moving?! Although she was pretty certain that it couldn't be real, the swot had taken time to read the little description things that were beside each display, she couldn't help but feel slightly intimidated by it. Her pureblooded mind couldn't quite comprehend how it actually worked, maybe if her boyfriend was around he'd be able to explain it to her.

She wandered around to the front, raising her eyebrow keeping her cool so to say, but it was hard to disguise the jump that came when the thing rawred. Okay, so that was a little scary. Her head turned to the smaller ones that were obviously a little scared by it. If anyone was terrified, she'd be there to comfort, but it wasn't THAT scary... Was it?

O_o

Kurumi blushed at the Groundskeeper's reaction. She should probably be used to people reacting so whenever she said she was from Japan, but she just never could get over shyness. "Well, the town I am from is rather small...so there isn't much there," she began slowly as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Kyoto is a beautiful place, especially in spring because of all the cherry blossoms. Also, I've heard Sapporo is amazing in the winter because of the snow festival...although I have never been myself..."

Kurumi was about to suggest a few other places when she heard Professor Salyen speak...

ヾ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

Kurumi really did almost jump out of her robes this time. Sure, she had been expecting dinosaur bones, but she most certainly did not expect to see one roaring at her.

Before she could register in her mind that this was an animatronic model, Kurumi had already let out a rather loud squeak, grabbed onto the Groundskeeper's arm, and jumped behind him.

"I-I-I-Is it gone?" she asked peeking out from behind the Frenchman only to see that it was still roaring...but not taking any steps forward. "Oh... I get it now..." she said laughing nervously and taking a step forward but still shaking in her black school shoes. "And to think...this isn't even the size of a full grown adult..."

Selina smiled at the Professor. She drew her sketch pad out of her bag and produced her pencil. As the teacher sent them through the exhibit and explained things she was drawing the thin and majestic lines of the, she assumed from the sign, a stegosaurus. These creatures, or what was left by them, were gigantic in size and every line was an indication of that.

Then when she went to draw all of the commotion she saw a life sized one. She stood in shock and took out her drawing pad. How many chances does someone get to draw a real die-no-sore?

She stepped out from behind her professor. "Are you sur-sure it won't hurt us?" Nika took a few deep breaths as her professor instructed. "Breathe in, Breathe out, breathe in, out, in, out" Her pace was getting faster as she went. "Bu-but Pro-professor. If it is rea-really BIG and really STRONG can't it break the fence and come after us!!!" She needed to be reassured.

Belle saw Jania and mouthed, "Can you believe this!" she was estatic. She loved museums and loved seeing the animintronic t-rex! "Woww this is soo cool! I love going on field trips, professor can we do this more often??"she asked excitedly.

Elle followed Professor Saylen and moved with the crowd.

Suddenly, a huge replica of a T. Rex appeared and was growling furiously at them. Everyone was screaming, backing up and stuttering as they were both amazed and shocked at the being.

As for the redhead's case, she didn't even fidget or scream. She just stood there. She thought it funny for her classmates to be afraid of a fake dinosaur. Come on, didn't they know it was already extinct? No more dinosaurs lived on Earth anymore, except for alligators, and other reptiles and animals that had survived the changes through time.

She smiled while watching the machine, amused at how real it looked. She jot down notes and summarized the definition of the T. Rex's description that was offered for people to read and know. Interesting, she thought. This is just a juvenile dinosaur's size? Wow! How big is an adult dinosaur?!

Deep in thought, Elizabeth understood her friends, that was just their initial reaction. It didn't mean they were shallow or anything.

Elle had always been ready for almost anything. This girl was strong, brave and wise. She would never be found cowering over something simple, something called the Slytherin Pride was the reason, plus she was brought up like that.

The three things that would make her shy away with dishonor were spiders, dirt and.... boys.

Chad chuckled as she turned to find him behind her. "Bonjour," he offered back, reaching up to his arm to pat her hand comfortingly. "Mmm, No. Never had a chance to operate a giant dinosaur in the office. It would have been cool, though." So cool.

OH. And now he had another student holding on to his arm. The other one, but still. "He is not going to hurt you," he said comfortingly. "Mighty creepy though, no matter." Yes, they were!

Jaina giggled. These kids actually thought that this fake dinosaur was going to hurt them. She looked all around the room and took note of everyone in the room. Amongst the dinosaur exhibits she noticed visitors of all ages and school children and Joshua.....JOSHUA!!! Oh no! She hid on the other side of Charley. She peaked once. "Charley, stay right here. I know one of those kids over there. He was my next door neighbor. He doesn't see me so let's keep it that way," she whispered. She looked once more and he had left the room. "Whew! That was close! That would have been so bad for all of us!" With one more glance, she noted that Joshua left with his class. "Ok, so in the clear now." Jaina breathed a sigh of relief.

Ellie smiled at Treyen and Arya's argument. She was on Treyen's side, though, cuz...well, it WOULD be really creepy for someone to be able to read minds. And she was glad she'd never encountered a legilimens. Who knew what they would find out?

As they walked, she noticed the Groundskeeper....Stryker was his name, yeah? Giving her the thumbs up.... WHAT? But...no...no, it couldn't be her cuz...she didn't know him. It must've been for Treyen. Why? She was unsure. "You know him?" she asked. Ellie wanted to meet him...

When they rounded the corner, she was surprised at the REAL dinosaur there. It was REAL! It really was!
....Oh, wait. No, it wasn't. Hmm.

Eyeroll.

And even if it WAS real, it still wasn't half as big as a dragon. Not that she'd seen any personally, but they had to have been bigger than that.

But still....SNAP.

Marie was standing there admiring Finn in a daze not paying attention to anything except Finn that was going on when she was suddenly snapped out of her Finndaydreaming. Haha, Mia was there trying to scare Evelyn and Destiny. Oh that girl was evil. She should be a Slytherin too. Shaking her head at her friend she chose not to comment. Instead she did something much more important... more Finn people watching.

Lexi kind of just CLUNG to Salander and LOOOKED around. It was all interesting and all that, but she was not feeling comfy when she had to watch she said or did. Whining a little bit she chewed the inside of her lip. "Um. Didn't they have little brains?" she asked with a raised hand. She was fairly certain that a little Muggle boy had said something about her having a brain the size of a dinowhatsitdoda... right before she set his pants on fire. Heh. Good times.

Tugging on Sal's sleeve she said, "How about sometime you teach me about some Muggle stuff and I will help you study up on your magic?" She blinked rapidly and smiled sweetly. Ignorant. To. Most. Things. Muggle.

Dinosaurs? Really?
'Oh look a robot!' Emily thought as they went around the courner.
Then, all panick struck loose. Even Nika!
"Oh for merlin's..."
She grabbed Nikas wrist. "Nika, sorry to break this to you, but it's a robot. Animatronic? Nothing to panik about. If it was real, we would have all been eaten by now" she said calmly
Totally un-realistic to her, but sadly other people fell for it. She was suprised about Nika though, since she was muggle-born.
Sigh. She really needed to start acting her age.

"And who are you hiding from? Me? I hope not." He reached down and hugged Jaina in front of the entire class. "So, what kind of dragon is this? And where's it wings? I have been following you out of your sight the entire time. You two seem to have many misadventures in this strange place. What is it called? a mooseum? That's a funny name for a place. Even in muggle land." He looked back up and wondered about this wingless dragon. "You still haven't answered my question."

So...Maya had somewhat notices the Muggles around them had sort of...dispersed when the group suddenly exclaimed their...excitement over this T. Rex.
There was one dude who stared, and the Mexicana stared back with a mouthing 'what!?'. Psshhh, like he'd never seen freaked out people before? She gave him the stink eye with a raised eyebrow, and finally the old fart walked off.

Yeah, he'd better walk. Hehe.

Maya cringed for the awaited screaming that girl looked like she was about to do, but relaxed when she instead stood by the railing. "Careful now, don't lean over it..." Honestly Maya had no idea what she was going to do, but...it felt comforting to communicate with the kids when they were this excited. Heh.

Okay, now Maya cringed. She had not expected that. And neither did the few muggles around, though it was funny to see their reaction. "It's there to show us how she looked!" She nodded. Or maybe it was a he? "It will not hurt you, Miss Soler. See?" Unless it came alive and devoured the railing.

She watched Arya examining the dinosaur, "Actually, I think this example is alot smaller than an adult size T. Rex." Where had she read that, again? "So...this might be like a teenager, perhaps. Good eye there, Miss Lovegoods."

Her head turned to see the Gryffindor Prefect nearby. Good, prefects would help out if needed, hehe. And now to her question, "Uhm, I think they copied the bones of a T. Rex...and then constructed the outer...shell of it. " Like flesh and stuff. Eh. "And then mounted it onto a mechanism, with electronics and wires. So yes, there probably is alot of steel in that thing." It's like a Dinosaur Terminator. Heh.

More screams. Heh. "Oh!" And something bumping into her? Or was that someone else? "As Miss Collonny asked, this example is moving because it is being told to move. See, there's a mechanism inside, and someone has probably programmed it to move like that." Did that make sense?

Okay, that stillness was making Maya nervous.
"Miss Browne, are you allright?" She was hoping the girl would atleast be blinking.

Something behind her spoke, and it wasn't the Groundskeeper...so someone was behind him? Hehe. "No. It's still there." Hehehe. Maya looked at Chad and wondered what he'd say.

"Yes, just like that. Keep breathing." Don't stop. Heh. "Well, we've been standing here for a few minutes now, and it hasn't bitten off a piece of the railing yet. So...I think we're safe." Yes. Exellent.

The young girl's words made the Mexicana smile, though the promise of more field trips was possible, she wasn't sure if she'd be allowed to. "I sure hope so. I'll try and see where else we can go." Totally.

She noticed the young girl, probably one of the more calmer ones at this moment. Or perhaps it was just the shock? Heh. Oh dear, was that girl shocked? "Miss Price, are you allright?"

Initial scare, gone. Good. She slowly took back her hand, hoping she hadn't squashed his arm. But, considering what she now knes, she thought no. "Ah, too bad." She chuckled, stared at the dinosaur as she drank more of her delicious coffeechocolatedream. "Imagine having one of these walking around on the grounds... taking a nap in the stables." Hehehe.

Eh, whatnow? "Little brains?" Did they have little brains? "Researchers say they did. But they had a quite developed one since their sense of smell was pretty extensive. They might even have had the biggest brain of the entire dinosaur population." Just sayin'.

Jaina jumped and giggled when he reached down to hug her. "It's not a dragon, silly. It's a dinosaur. They lived millions of years ago. This is what a young Tyrannosaurus rex would have looked like," Jaina said pointing at the animatronic replica. "It's just a robot to show how the dinosaur would have moved." She smiled.....'mooseum'.... "It's pronounced MU-seum. And you have tons of questions!" she giggled some more and took his hand. "Try to keep up," she winked.

Selina went back to her drawings as the students around her began to panic. This Tee-Rex thing was so fantastical. She know knew how Muggle-born children felt when Dragons were put into play. These animals were larger than life, but because she had grown up with Dragons being real they were never really that amazing.

She felt her disappointment escape her when the Professor exclaimed to the group of scared students that the die-no-sore was not real. She had been drawing an illusion. But how could that be? The thing was moving and making noise.

"Professor, how does this even work? I mean it's moving, but you said it wasn't real. Isn't that, I don't know, not possible?" She wanted to add without magic, but the crowd of Muggles around them might have had a fit.

She looked back down at her unfinished art. Should she even bother to finish her sketch now that the magic was gone?

Selina looked at Kurumi and said, "What do you think? Finish it or just leave it?"

"Oh, maybe a zoo!!" Jaina smiled. "That would be awesome!!!" She tugged on her head kerchief once more to make sure her hair was not showing. "Charley, am I good?" she asked her other friend. She thought it was still red, but just in case...

Having entered the Dinosaur gallery with the rest of the class Riley had been figdeting with his map and then looked up when the other students began their ooohing and awwing, shreiks of terror...and was that human roaring? O____o

When he first looked up he just say a large peice of white triangluar shaped stuff. What was so scary about that? Then he followed it up and higher and higher until he realised he had just seen the claw was attached to gaint dinosaur. "Umm Professor did this dinosaur like to eat people?" he asked looking at it, his face going paler than usual.

Maddie followed the group and stood next to a girl who looked to be a few years younger than her. She looked pretty calm, really, compared to everyone else. Maddie, of course, wasn't that bothered. Unlike most of the people here, she had been raised as a Muggle, so she had been to museums like this before. She'd seen other models of dinosaurs such as this - although, one had to admit, no moving ones.

She pulled out her new, shiny notebook and turned to the first blank page. She looked up at the dinosaur, and began to take some notes in her neat cursive handwriting about its physical appearance and size. She couldn't believe this was only a child-sized T-Rex. A full grown one must be huge!

She smiled across at the other girl and extended a hand. 'Hallo,' she said politely. 'I'm Maddie,' she added with another smile. 'So, this is interesting, isn't it? It certainly beats sitting in the school grounds,' she said, laughing.

She peeped out from behind the sign. "It won't?" Pheew. "So it can't go out from the fence and murder us all? That's reassuring." K-Lee smiled slightly. The Dino was still completely scary, but if she stayed at the back of the group then she won't die because she'd have a chance to run while the front would get eaten.

Now she grinned. She liked this plan. A lot.

Nika kept at it, "In, out, in, out." The rhythm started to calm her down. "I guess you are right professor. I was worried about nothing." Or was she?


"An-ni-mah-troh-ni-nic?" Animatronic? So it was a fake? And the Professor just led us on!?! "Oh pshh, I totally knew that." Nika forced a smile and acted as if she had known it was a phony. "I just thought I would, er add to the excitement. Yeah... that's it add to the excitement, that's all I was doing." Nika still found it hard to believe the thing was fake even if she knew that dinosaurs were supposed to be extinct. Nika had developed a theory ever since her Hogwarts letter. Her theory was "Anythings possible if magic is possible". So the dinosaur could have been real, right? Nika was just too gullible.
