Its a perfect day for a class outside, and by the lake too! The warm september breeze swept the grounds at the south side of the castle. The location was popular for students who generally liked roaming around outside, but it was not a good place to take notes. Which was probably why Professor Scabior did not look at ease as he stood, holding a quiet conversation with Professor Williamson. The Care of Magical Creatures Professor looked quite fine though, turning away from the conversation to flash a smile at each new student that arrived.
"Just gather around here, and take a seat." Scabior said loudly, pointing to the general grassy area.
OOC: Class hasn't started yet, so feel free to join in! Just please, keep chatting to a minimum. Also, if you haven't already, please make sure to read the Care of Magical Creatures Rules AND the History of Magic Rules CLASS HAS STARTED! Do not post your character late. Doing so will result in loss of points. If you want to join just act as if your character was there the whole time!

Vickers sat dumbfounded (which wasnt often). He was about to raise his hand and ask how any of the Tri-Wizard Champions and Officials got anywhere near and into the Lake if not by the shore. He blinked a few times. Was he missing something? Was there some kind of communications gap that his American ears wasnt picking up? So disconcerted was he that he completely missed the head-whacking Cephalopod. Yeah thats how bothered he was.
He turned his attention now to the COMC Professor. The man asked about magical creature inhabitants. He raised his hand tentatively before asking "Do Grindylows count as creatures Mr Williamson?" Answering a question with another question wasnt his style at all, but he didnt want another potential points loss based on... communications issues.

One moment the History of Magic professor was adressing students to their answers, the next the famous giant squid smacks a student in the head. Was Hogwarts always full of little surprises such as this? It was almost like the squid appeared on cue from the professor. Hmm. She would like to see how that was negotiated.
Tearing her eyes from the lake where the squid descended back into, Sylia turned back to the class and listened. Finally the other professor spoke! She almost wondered if he had fell into a daze for being on the grounds. It was nice enough weather to nap in, that was for sure. Here we go, creature talk! "I heard of one instance a Hippocampus was brought to the lake for the merpeople to have."Maybe they got another and populated the lake with a few more of them? Hmm. What was the other thing they had? She could almost remember it. It was on the tip of her tongue!

Well then, Jezzabelle thought crossing her arms. If she couldn't answer with The Giant Squid, whose name she knew without even needing to ask, then what could she answer with? Fish? No, that made her sound cheeky and not so bright. She smiled when she saw Bartholomew. "Why, hello Bartholomew you look lovely today." Sidetracked just a little but she brought herself back on topic and raised her hand, "A hippocampus possibly, Professor?" She wasn't sure.

Kurumi continued to wave at the Giant Squid. She was going to have a hard time focusing on the lesson at this rate with him right there. Could she hug him? Well, one of his tentacles since he was far too large in size for someone of her size to get her arms around him.
Oh, right, Professor Williamson had continued the lesson. Kurumi listened to others, nodding her head here and there. She smiled at the mention of merpeople, and seriously hoped that there would be some of them visiting this lesson. Her godfather was well versed in Mermish and had taught Kurumi only a few words here and there, but she wouldn't mind greeting with one. Still, merpeople was an umbrella category, so offering up a specific wouldn't hurt. "Professor, are there Selkies in the Black Lake?" They were native to Scotland after all.

She looked in awe at the giant squid and remembered what she and Daisy had wished for However she turned her attention back to class as soon as the Professor started talking again. Maybe the combination of History of Magic and Care of MAgical creatures wasn't really bad at all. Seemed like they suited each other. What other creatures lives inside the black lake?"Merpeople, Profesor," Tennessee answered.
Selina could not help but snort when the Hufflepuff got smacked upside the head. She knew that it wasn't funny because the thing was giant so it probably hurt, but... come on.. a giant squid erupted from the black lake and hit a huffie in the head. It was funny. Her hand flew over her mouth to stiffle the laughter that had arose when the giant squid made his little guest appearance.
When her Professor posed the next question Selina rose her hand, "Seaweed Professor." Technically, plant life was living... her Professor did not specify.
OMG Was that a Gibb Slap? *okay I get the message*

I specifically said by and or around and so the second task in the Triwizard Tournment of 1994-which we already spoke about, could not be one of the events, because it took place in the lake." He would have taken points if it hadn't been for the fact that SO MANY of them were wrong
...What history book was this girl reading? "Severus Snape died in the Shrieking Shack." He eyed the girl. "That is no where around here."
Finally! Someone that seemed to be listening! "Correct." He said with a slight smile. This kid seemed to know a thing or two. "Albus Dumbledore's funeral took place right by the lake." He paused. "Two points for you." Since NO ONE ELSE seemed to listen.
"Correct." She was right as well, but the boy had said it first
Scabior just gazed at the Hufflepuff. "While your events are correct Miss Potter, I specifically said to only name one. 5 points from Hufflepuff." He was not in the mood for students who COULD NOT listen.
"It could have been." He nodded. "However that is not known, so I wouldn't list it as one of the two important events." THAT was a valid guess. Not any more triwizard nonsense.
"Correct, good job." He nodded, and then gave the girl a small smile. Because ANY answer other than the WRONG Triwizard one would make him glad at the moment. And Wow. He hadn't even thought of that. "Yes. That was actually a really important event. One of the ones I hadn't thought of. Two points to your house."
"Right, just like Miss Hollingberry said." He nodded.
"Right. And that is one of the important events."
--------
Scabior clearly was not impressed by most of the answers. He frowned as he waited to see if there would be any more answers.
"As I said before, the majority of you need to clean out your ears." His frown deepened. "Around and by the lake does not mean in it." How was he suppose to teach if they did not LISTEN.
"One event was said by a small number of you. Which was, the funeral of Albus Dumbledore. It was held by the lake. And of course, it was important in Hogwarts and wizarding history, since no one can argue that Dumbledore was a great wizard and headmaster." Yes? Good. "The second event was mentioned by one person. Miss Potter. However Miss Potter failed to listen to my instructions as well. As I said name one of the events and she proceeded to name them both." And that was JUST as bad. Either way she wasn't listening.
"The second event is known as the attack at the Black Lake. When over a hundred Dementors swarmed the Lake on 6 June, 1994 ." Pause. Because that was an IMPORTANT date. "To recapture escaped alleged murder Sirius Black. They were defeated by Harry Potter." The chosen one himself. The story was confusing and Dash WOULD have gotten into it if he has not been SO annoyed.
"Miss Hollingberry, also mentioned another event, which took place by the lake. Lord Voldemort, breaking into Dumbledores grave. And that was actually extremely important too, because he did so to steal the elder wand." Elder wand..last term. Cool.
He sighed. "Anyways, The lake is known for more than just being a body of water and having an important to Hogwarts history." He turned to look at William. "It is also know for the creatures that reside in it." His cue.
OOC: Guys there is NO point in "catching up" your posts. It just messes everything up and confuses US when we are replying to YOU so don't do it. From here on out, if you do it, you lose 5 points automatically if you do this. No discussion.
Alyssa sucked in her breath, when she heard that she had lost 5 house points for giving more than one answer. She sighed but decided to carry out. She knew that this wouldn't be the first or the last time, that she lost any more house points.

Alyssa felt a gust of wind rush by her head right before she got smacked on the head by something. She turned around quickly and just managed to keep herself from falling into the lake. It was the Giant Squid and he seemed to be waving as it returned back into the lake.
If more than anything, that smack on the head, just told Alyssa that she needed to wake up and pay more attention in class.

Alyssa thought for awhile before raising her hand to answer. But before she could give her answer, she heard the other students provide the answers that she would have given, so she lowered her hand and thought a little while longer.

As she waved to the giant squid Quentin thought back to her education on underwater creatures then raised her hand, "Would there be Taniwha in the lake? Maybe the founders wanted students to learn about international creatures as well as native." Hopefully she wouldn't be shot down. Taniwha were known as protectors, and it was the only thing she could think of that wasn't dangerous.

Sophie was staring at the lake since she saw the Giant Squid's tentacle coming out of it and waaaving at them! She thought it was pretty cool and that the Squid was so nice! She would have never thought that it was nice. She raised her hand.
"Plimpies, maybe!" she said happily looking over to Professor Williamson. It would be fun if there were plimpies! And Sophie loved this name. "Plimpy! Plimpy!" she kept repeating in her mind after she said it out loud. She giggled looking back at the lake.
"Right, just like Miss Hollingberry said." He nodded.
"Miss Hollingberry, also mentioned another event, which took place by the lake. Lord Voldemort, breaking into Dumbledores grave. And that was actually extremely important too, because he did so to steal the elder wand." Elder wand..last term. Cool.

Wow Desiree had answered correctly, again! That had to be a record, especially in History. She didn't really mind that he gave the Gryffindor Prefect all the credit, after all she was a prefect. But she really had thought of the idea herself.. she must have just missed the girl mention it too. But oh well, what did it matter? They were both right. She just hoped the girl didn't think she was copying her or anything, because the little second year wasn't looking for any trouble.

She was glad when the Magical Creatures Professor took over, he was new, and hadn't really said anything this class. But she was distracted from the teacher as something caught her eye.. a TENTACLE coming out of the water..
O__o
The Squid was REAL? ... Desiree was in shock for a moment, but quickly got over it, and tried to focus on the question as Mr. Henry the squid disappeared into the lake (but not before whacking a Hufflepuff). She raised her hand politely with a small smile, "Professor, I think there are turtles in the lake?" she said it questioningly as she'd never seen one. She just figured there had to be normal creatures in there too, not just magical.

Alyssa was running out of ideas when she recalled what Professor Williamson had said. She had asked 'what sort of magical and mundane creature inhabitants might we find living and thriving off the lake?'. It dawned on her that she could also be referring to magical and mundane creatures who didn't just live in the lake but also other creatures who lived outside of the lake but who went to the lake to get their food. She hope that her interpretation was correct. So Alyssa raised her hand and answered,"Professor what about the Centaurs? They don't live in the lake, but I'm sure that they come to the lake for water and to fish for food." Alyssa hoped that her answer was acceptable.

She raised her hand, "Professor, could the Puffer-Fish live in the lake?" she asked.

Holy Merlin! Did she saw what she thought she saw? Did the giant squid waved its tentacle over at their class?
Blink. Blink. Now, that's what you really call a Care of Magical Creatures class!
Not to mention that their new Professor sure knows how to interact with those creatures. Seems like a good start. The mere appearance of the Giant Squid which they called Bartholomew Henry was something that made her a bit more enthusiastic about the lesson.
Beatrice listened as for like the first time, the Care of Magical Creatures Professor had talked as if he was in control, because really..it was all Professor Scabior who was talking a while ago.
As the new Professor asked them his first question, almost all the other students answered. They had mentioned the merpeople, grindylows, toads, and all other water-thriving creatures. So she raised her hand and shared her own, "Professor Williamson, there are also err---clams." Beezus said. Clams were creatures too right?

Oh my Merlin! The giant squid was here?! Sierra peered at that pink tentacle, swooping upward like it was just dying to grab a hold of something. Quick, someone feed it a Hufflepuff! Or...something. She didn't even want to be touched by one of those pink tentacles. She was no girly girl, but there was just something about pink + tentacle that made her want to say, 'Nahh. I think I'll pass'.
"My sister, Anna, says there's merpeople in the lake," she answered, raising her hand. "She said they invaded the castle once, flooded it, and then the students had to settle some disagreement with them in order to get them out." Sounded like a lot of trouble just to unflood the castle. Someone really should have just opened up a can of Avada Kedavra on those merpeople. Or...something. Maybe a good Sectumsempra at least.

PUFFER FISH?!
Sierra could have just fallen out in laughter at this point, but she refrained for other reasons. Points loss and detention namely. ...but seriously?! There was really a fish called a Puffer Fish?! That just made her day on so many levels.
Messer eyes popped out when he saw the Giant Squid's tentacle coming out and waving at them. Holy Mother Merlin! Its waving at them. The eleven years old didn't realize that he was waving his hand back towards the Giant Squid.
Since most of the students there already used grindylows and Merpeople as their answer he need to come out with different answer. He was about to answer toad but the Ravenclaw prefect already beat him. "How about algae, Professor?" Its not a creature per se but algae is also a living thing. So its count, right?

Elise stared at the new professor. He had daisies. Behind his ear. Wasn't that Professor Bentley's specialty?
Raising her hand, she beaaaaaaaaaaaaamed. She knew this one!
"A hippocampus?" she asked, beaming. Wait, what was a hippocampus? El was sure she'd read it up somewhere. Besides, being a hippo-something, it had to be like the muggle hippo-something. It made sense.

Was that the giant squid?
Cass stared out into the lake, completely in shock about the sudden appearance of the famous - slightly illusive? - Giant Squid, the last time she saw the thing was when she was second year, and if she wasn't mistaken, it was also a History of Magic class.
She looked around and noticed that a few students were waving at him, and so, she did too. Offering him a half-hearted wave before turning her attention back to the Professor, or rather, forcing herself to turn back to the Professor. She really couldn't concentrate with the squid there and everything.
"Are merpeople considered creatures, Professor?" She sort of asked - or maybe answered? Then, suddenly her face split into a smile and answered once more "Oh, and Grindylows!" She added, remembering that dip into the lake during her third year with Professor Lafay and the rest of the Slytherins.

"Professor, What is the main creature that lives in the lake? is it Grindylows" Nicki said with a smile on her face. but it was a little bit of confusion as well.

He beamed and turned back to the class, adjusting the daisies over his left ear before clasping his hands loosely behind his back. "Now then, this IS also Care of Magical Creatures class, as Mr. Henry has been so kind as to remind us.

Other than their friendly Giant Squid, of course.
The. Giant. Squid. Was. There.
THEGIANTSQUIDWASTHERE!

Trying not to stare at the huge creature, Nora tried to focus on the professor's question. "I believe there are plenty of non magical creatures as well, such as fish and toads, aren't there?" The girl asked when she raised her hand. Well, it might be the lake next to Hogwarts, but it didn't mean it had to be full of magical creatures already mentioned, right?
Gwen's mouth formed a little "O" when she saw the Giant Squid come out of the water. Wow. She'd thought people, including her family, were kidding about a squid being in the lake.
Then Gwen raised her hand, eager to answer the Professor's question. "Kelpies could be in the lake, although they're quite dangerous to people."
Zack wasn't paying any attention in the class. He found all the talking about history boring. Why would we be talking about our history now? Oh! right this is a History and CoMC class, that makes sense now! But that didn't mean he was going to pay any attention. Except, maybe for the interesting part.

As he withdrew his tentacle back to the lake, he accidentally smacked the head of brunette in yellow robes (FireboltAvis88). Oops! At least he hadn't knocked her into the lake with him.
Zack was busy looking at the surrounding just then he was shocked to look at the beast kind of looking thing. Is that what i think it is? No way! Really? Wooow Am i seeing that for real? he couldn't believe what he saw. He rubbed his eyes once. So, it is real! Everyone got so excited that he had to believe that it was what he saw a giant squid! Cool! He waved once when he saw them leaving.....sigh....why weren't we learning about them?

OOC NOTE: Last post for us for the night. Class will resume around 3pm EST tomorrow! Feel free to answer the question but PLEASE only name ONE creature per person. You've seen that points loss is always an option for not following directions, so don't disappoint us! =)
He brought his attention back in class when he heard the professor ask some question and everyone in an instant started answering. Woo! These student just keep on shocking him. How do they already know all this? Maybe because they are elder to him and have more experience in Hogwarts than he has? Who knows?
He paid a little more attention to hear what they were talking. Creatures? What kind would there be other than the merpeople, Grindylows, and a giant squid? He thought to answer what he knew, he saw the giant squid, which he didn't think he would Wow! Then there were the merpeople which he didn't like so he though to answere about the Grindylows. He raised his hand and said "Professor, there are Grindylows too in the Black Lake" and started staring at the lake thinking if one of them would come out! That would definitely be fun! hehe....
Aurora frowned slightly... hmm, water creatures... she wasn't too clued up on that. Maybe... fish? But that was a little obvious. Though when she was in Greece her father had been babbling on about these little weird fresh water things... "Professor... are there fresh water aneno- anena- ameno-" she gave up. "You know, the things that open under the water and close in the open." Because she was completely unable to pronounce anemones.

As Kendra watched, open mouthed, as the giant pink tentacle of the squid whapped a Hufflepuff around the head, she listened carefully to the professors question.
Kendra's answer formed in her mind quickly, she was glad that her last answer had been accepted, even when others had said the same thing. This gave her the confidence for her to speak again. Remembering reading the section on the black lake in her books. However, she decided to go with something she knew from back home, something she wouldn't hopefully trip up on'As in any mundane lake, the usual habitants of fish would be evident. These are vital to the eco-system and food chain as many other creatures that inhabit the lake and the surrounding areas live off these fish, in all manner of sizes. For example, such animals such as threstrals that live in the forest would travel near the waters edge to retrieve the fish, as they are easier than magical creatures to catch-'' She wanted to talk about magical creatures, but shut up afterwards. Knowing it was best to.

Thea grinned as she spotted the Giant Squid. Thea often fed the Squid.. even though she wasn't too sure if this was allowed. Fidgeting slightly, Thea stopped herself from reaching out to stroke him. Heheh.
Raising her hand, Thea smiled. 'Merpeople are down there.. I think. Well.. there were merpeople down there. They have a whole colony. I suppose it's like a village. They'll use all the natural resources of the Lake to survive and to make things.. and catch other creatures for food.' Thea paused, trying to think of something else to add. 'They were also used during the Triwizard Tournament!'
Lowering her hand, the third year turned back to gaze at the Giant Squid as he lazily waved his tentacles about in the water.
Realizing that everyone already mentioned the Giant Squid, grindylows, and plants no one cared of, the third year tried thinking of something else. So what creatures live there?, Gwen asked herself and remained silent for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered reading somewhere stuff about the period when Harry Potter was at Hogwarts. Something with Neville's toad escaping in the lake... That's it!'There are some toads too', the Ravenclaw said. If I don't even get this one, then I am a troll. For sure.
