He did say to draw after doing a little research...

Kurumi flipped through her Divination book until she found what she was looking for. Bouncing, that was easy enough to draw, right? The only complicated part was that they flapped their wings at certain points and glided at others. After several minutes of checking the invisible clock on the wall to see how much time she had left, Kurumi leaned back in her seat having completed her drawing.

"Thank you," she whispered to her textbook. It was a rule after all.

It sort of took her a while, since she had to form each and every line so slowly, but after a while, she'd finally depicted what she hoped looked like the up and down flight pattern of a bird.

Destiny didn't want to draw, and she would have voiced that if she wasn't afraid of having points taken away from her. She wanted to go into the forest and see the birds in flight up close! Pfft to you, Professor the Thereos.

Pulling out a piece of parchment, she slumped her shoulders and began working on her drawing. She wasn't very familiar with the way birds flew, except for the vultures she had seen on the Safari when they tried to eat her, but they were a little too complicated to draw. So, she would just stick to what she knew how to draw.

After a few moments, she sat up in her seat and pushed her drawing away from her. She was done!

Upon hearing what topic they actually would be learning about the fourth year couldn't help but smile softly.

Ornithomancy...the study of divination by studying birds. Now that was something that hit home since his familiar Corbin the raven as well as his parents own familiars fit into that form of divination perfectly. Gideon already was familiar with most perceptions that seeing a raven was a bad omen.

When Thereos told them of their first class assignment, the Gryffindor went to work on completing the task finally settling on what he thought of as the fly-hover-fly pattern that he had seen Corbin do a lot. Researching it as directed he found it was a movement common solely to ravens which was interesting to find out. Picking up his quill and a spare bit of parchment, he went about trying his best to draw an example.

Ducking her head once again, she muttered a small apology, listening to the examples of flight patterns listed.

...They got to draw? Wicked awesome-sauce with pretzles!

With new-found enthusiasm, Charner set to work on her piece. A puzzled frown on how to get the perspective of the flight patterns right was set into her expression the entire time. There was a lot of drawing, erasing, drawing and erasing again. She even abandoned the flight pattern at one point to fuss with drawing the bird it represented. Probably not the best use of her time, but then she was one to do the fun things first. With a few minutes to spare, she scribbled down the rest of the flight pattern and lay her parchment on her desk.

He first drew some lines that went into a circling spiral and then added several birds to indicate which direction the birds were going. It wasn't the best sketch ever, but he only had a limited amount of time to do it, so he was very happy with it. It was supposed to depict a circling flight pattern, so hopefully he had executed that correctly.

He wasn't sure how much information he was supposed to put on the drawing, so he just drew it and wrote in at the bottom "Some birds soar in circles".

After a moment, he looked at the picture, and decided to write his name and everything on it as well.

But...

...drawing? Eeeeeeeeh...he was horrible at drawing stuff there was no doubt about that yet it did not mean he would not try. Hehehehe. So.....a flying pattern huh?



Well...was that enough?

"Professor even though crows and ravens look similar, they fly very different. Crows flap slowly and methodically, where Ravens take frequent breaks from flapping to soar or glide."

Nora took a piece of parchment and her quill and decided to draw the V flight pattern, since it wasn't that complicated and messed up.



There. All done.

He took that very picture to Howarts with him and maybe this was a picure he could draw if he tried it:

Nathan drew Ms for the birds and did his best to make a picture of the same shape, the result was not pretty but it worked for the task at hand.

The Professor then decided to have them sketch a flight pattern of birds that someone had suggested and the Gryffindor decided he would do the arrow form that he and some others mentined:

The second year looked up in interest when the Centaur..i mean , professor told them to draw any flight pattern. Daichi had never thought about that they even had flight patterns but the first image in his head was that of a V-shape one. Grabbing his parchment , he dipped his quill in some ink and began to draw.



Placing the quill down he looked satisfied at his result.

Not looking at the professor, she pushed her erm.. drawing to the front of her deak. As she thought in the beginning.. this was stupid.



If this was what this year was going to be about.. then maybe she would maybe have to think about taking this for her exams in a few years.. she was not drawing all of the time. Mhm..

She eventually moved her eyes from the Professor when she realised that the whole class had started to sketch drawings of birds. She took out her things and got drawing.



When she had completed her drawning she held it back and took a good look. She thought of adding arrows but she wasn't too sure in which direction to add them in. "Um..Professor?" she asked after she had raised her hands. "If..I..had..to..put..arrows..in ...which.. directions..would..I put..them..in?" she asked still scared of the cenataur.

After a few minutes of drawing she was satisfied with her work and smiled at the parchment. Not great, but not bad.

Grabbing her parchment and quill, she immediately started.


There you go.

He cringed inwardly as he looked at the mess he'd made.

The other kids were still busy with theirs, so he began drawing a very detailed picture of a bird underneath. Much better. Hopefully that would distract from the mess he'd made with his description. :/

The almost fourteen years old grabbed a parchment and a color-changing ink and started drawing... if only Enya was here to do this for her, she wasn't that much of an artist really. Besides drawing a bird's flight pattern wasn't that easy. She'd made up her mind to draw the gliding one. That was a pattern, right? Birds glides and then instead of flapping their wings, they use other ways to alternate their paths and maintain their altitude, her drawing demonstrated the obstruction lift.

Why were they drawing birds?

She pulled out her supplies, flipped through the book for her patronus, and took more care than she did in transfiguration in drawing the bird's flight patterns. It was much easier when the object she was drawing on wasn't giggling.

Opening up her parchment filled notebook, the Slytherin got out her quill and ink, glancing for a moment to the wonderful Gryffindor in the class. Josh, duh. Wait, no, she as becoming distracted. Placing the ink bottle on her desk, she dipped her quill in it and started drawing. Were they supposed to choose one bird and their flight pattern? Or it just didn't matter? Whatever the case, she couldn't remember one specific bird's flight pattern and just opted for drawing any kind.

She started sketching on the parchment what she thought she remembered how wild geese flew, her tongue slightly sticking out from the top corner of her mouth as she drew.

"Well here goes. A rough...and I mean very rough drawing of wild geese in flight pattern". Alyssa looked down at her drawing and almost busted up laughing.
