Default P.A.D Joint Lesson :: Moon phases, Potions, & Werewolves..OH MY!


The sun has disappeared beneath the horizon and the sky dotted with countless stars shining brightly against its dark canvas. Arguably the brightest object in the sky this evening is not the stars, but the moon itself as its full moon glow dances through the windows and paints the floor in its heavenly, but eerie, light.

As you enter the dimly lit the room off the Great Hall, you find it is organised just like another classroom: there are desks with burners and empty cauldrons upon them and an empty blackboard up in front. Despite their best efforts, there are still cobwebs clinging to various spots along the stone walls and draped across some windows. The desks, mostly cobweb free, are positioned in a semi circle and there is a big vacant space in the front of the room whose purpose shall remain a mystery for now. The professor's desk is pushed off to the left with three chairs squished behind it. Professor Culloden is sitting on one of them, mulling over some sort of deep thought, while Professor Dakest stands leaning against the desk with one hand on it and his other idly twirling his wand between his fingers with a placid look about his features. Only Professor Flamsteed stands in the middle of the semicircle of desks where the glow of the moon pouring in from the outside seemingly forms a spotlight in which he stands.

The overall atmosphere is somber yet ethereal and leaves you feeling both comfortable and uneasy as you make your way towards your seat.

So come on in and take a seat. The lesson will begin shortly.

Swiping at Airey was quite fun, but it was hard to do when he was so adamant on screaming and running. AJ was hot in pursuit changing from swatting at the professor and running at full speed. SWIP---

Something caught her attention. A werewolf attack formation was happening. Her wolfie senses were tingling. AJ stopped in mid pursuit. Airey was lucky this time. She would be back once she helped out her wolf brothers. She needed to be there. It was a feeling that she couldn't shake.

Turning on her heel, she turned completely around and went back to all fours. Charging towards the DADA professor was happening. If she didn't have a person vendetta against her head of house, Dakest would have been her professor of choice to take down. The dude was mad cool, but he was the DADA professor for crying out loud. That meant he was the biggest and baddest dude to take down. Challenge accepted.

Once again her teeth were bared and she imagined her face looked vicious. GRRRR!RWAAAAR" which clearly translated to I got your back, dogs. HEHE. Did you see what she did there? The fourth year leapt in mid air and swiped her paws hands at the professor. She was foaming at the mouth and spit was flying everywhere.

Did she get him? Was he apart of their werewolf pack now?

As if she was trapped by a big hand, she was stuck in place, unable to move her legs to go any further. DUDE. MANNERS. THAT WAS SO UNCOOL. Only one of her arms remained un-restrained, so she carried on waving that one, resisting the sudden urge to make a rude hand gesture because werewolf or not, that'd just be MEAN.

"HEY! WHO DID THAT?" She tried to squirm again, narrowing her eyes at all the students around her. Grr. GRRRRRR.


His spell had worked!

The hairy girl's legs appeared trapped, keeping her in place. That meant he could try to heal her...right? She still had use of one of her arms which was waving at him like it was ready to attack him. Except if he remembered the rules explained by Flamsteed correctly, she couldn't since they 'werewolves' needed too hands to touch and convert them to a creature too. She yelled out to find her attacker, narrowing her eyes as well.

"I did..." he admitted quietly almost to himself as he come up beside her. The side where her arm wasn't waving. Ben took the seeming advantage that she wasn't aware of who or where her attacker was to come up with the candy to change her back. He tried to do it as gently as possible, giving the pop rocks to her to eat.

She felt SO WEIRD. She was laughing, delighted, but also felt quite mad that this mundane had caught her. She started rolling herself like a log to get closer to him. Even though she couldn't actually put her hands on him to change him to werewolf, her mind was telling her to do it... do it...
Cosgrach didn't even know what was funny, but he was glad to see she enjoyed this activity. And when she rolled, he laughed too. This saved him from going out and becoming an open target - he quite liked this secure part of the classroom, thank you. No one was attacking him so far, and he certainly didn't have to shriek like Airey did.

Hehe. Funny, that man was.

When Zhenya was beside him, he said "And I relieve you!" ceremoniously and dropped some candies onto her mouth to transform her back.

Hopefully, she would open her mouth to make his job easier.

HOW DID ANYONE MANAGE LOSE A DOOR?????

The trees in the room were enough to mess with Toby's perception of the layout, and the mist made it even harder to remember where things were. It was easy to forget they weren't actually out in a forest somewhere, surrounded by werewolves (especially when you had a suggestible brain like a CERTIAN HUFFLEPUFF) and Toby had very quickly become disoriented.

The sound of his name being squealed hollered made Toby automatically look back, because that was AIREY and he needed HELP. Even though Toby was full to the brim with PANIC and DREAD (not that he would admit that), he could never turn down a plea for help.

Of course, when he looked, Toby saw not one... not two... but THREE student!werewolves. He couldn't be TOTALLY sure who they were, given 1. the mist, 2. the werewolf hair, and 3. the fact that he was running for his life everyone's safety. The POINT WAS that the student closest to him was taking a swipe.

Toby gave a HIGH-PITCHED YELP and darted out of the way. He had nothing he could really do, being sans wand AND exit route. But he DID have the candy. And Airey DID need help. So Toby, in a moment of pure panic, did the only thing he could think of doing and grabbed a handful (aka, most of the contents of the bag) before chucking it right at the attacking werestudents. #SUPERTOBES TO THE RESCUE.

Only... he realised how that may have been a stupid and potentially useless (not to mention sticky) move about a second after it had happened. But it was just... the candy was the cure, and so therefore it was a defense, and SO THEREFORE he'd just... thrown it at them.

It had made sense at the time.

Um. OKAY. SO. HE WAS JUST GOING TO. ATTEMPT TO CLIMB THIS TREE AND WAIT THERE AND NOT CRY OR PANIC. YES. Where was Airey. Toby looked around for him. THEY COULD SCALE THE TREE TOGETHER. STAY UP THERE. LIVE AS NON-WEREWOLF TREE FOLK. IT WOULD BE OKAY. *PANICKED BREATHING*

.......... Still he braced himself as he scrambled at the trunk of a nearby tree, trying to climb it, certain of his imminent demise. Any moment now, a werestudent would surely slam into him and change him into a werewolf, and then it would all be over.
...Why did Toby insist on making this difficult for her?

After her attempts to swipe at him failed to offer any results, Lux continued the pursuit. She wasn't about to give up on her target and she wasn't going to share him with any other werewolf either. She had spotted him FIRST.

Totally feeling her new role, Lux let out a HOWL. Look at her, she was a big and scary werewolf. RWAR. Everyone should fear her sharp teeth and incredible speed and agility. Toby probably feared it because she was closing in for the kill...so to speak of course; she wasn't going to bite him or anything because that would be gross and mean.

As he swiped at a tree trunk, she made a second attack.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Watch out for those werewolf claws.

be curious, not judgmental

...Oh sweet Merlin.

As she finished up with her dummy and decided to wait for further instructions - she'd done what she'd been asked to do, and that's all she cared about - Flamsteed took over class, and... as he did so, she realized... people were... growing hair. All over. Fairly rapidly. It was actually a slightly funny sight, but it was more alarming than anything and had her checking her arms and hands for excessive hair, too.

But none came. And soon enough, the majority of the class looked like hairy beasts, and she did not. Notable was that Tobes didn't either... but Dot had hair and so did AJ, so it wasn't the troublemakers who were spared. And then Flamsteed explained it and her MOUTH DROPPED and she turned to look accusingly at Culloden - HE had been in on giving people tainted cookies, hadn't he? And he hadn't even WARNED her or tried to get her to not do it - he was going to LET HER TURN INTO A WEREWOLF WITH THE REST OF THEM. But... in a roundabout way, Flamsteed had looked out for her, hadn't he? Maybe he yelled at her in the FIRST PLACE because he knew it would kill both her spirit AND Tobes' spirits, and then they wouldn't want the cookies. So maybe that had been entirely strategic on the Astronomy professor's part. Maybe he wanted his favorite students to feel too bad about themselves to eat the cookies so they'd be on the trapper side with him.

For the first time since she was tickling Tobes, Sophie Brown smiled.

But the fact of the matter was that everyone WAS a werewolf except for a handful of them since Flamsteed hadn't made enough people want to cry today, and the trappers were severely outnumbered. As the mist began to thicken while instructions were being given, Sophie dropped straight down to the floor on her hands and knees, made a beeline for the door while she could still see it, and continued crawling with her bag of pop rocks that way until she reached the door at which point she sat on her bum right beside the doorway, her back against the wall. This way, if she got ambushed, she could leave. And by being curled up on the floor hiding in the mist, that was the best way to stay out of sight from the werewolves - how many of them would really be looking on the floor against a wall? - and help people back to normal as a sneak-attack. They'd be appreciative, surely, Sophie thought, for when Flamsteed announced it was GAME ON, growls and snarls and inhuman noises were happening all over the place. They probably didn't like that at all, did they?

This was kind of a cruel game.

And as it began, she heard Flamsteed's shrieks, though she couldn't see him anywhere. She couldn't see anyone through the mist, actually, only faint outlines of bodies as people ran around throughout the center of the room. She could hear Culloden and the occasional casting of the spell from another trapper, but for the most part, it sounded very much like she was in a zoo - a pen full of wolves. It was actually pretty unnerving, especially combined with the grey haze in the room.

Strategic was her approach, though, as she only had to watch for people coming to her from the front, as her back was against the wall. And the pseudo!werewolves would have to crouch to touch her in her sitting position, too, which would buy her more time to shoot her spell at anyone who tried to turn her into a werewolf.

So there she was. Curled up on the floor by the wall, just watching and listening and taking it all in. She didn't care much for being a werewolf today, so she hoped her fellow trappers in higher spirits would make this activity end a little faster, but she kept her wand in one hand and her bag of pop rocks in the other just in case she needed to take some initiative if anyone walked too close to her.

She hoped Tobes was okay.

Default Dakest , Zander, Jackson and AJ ..here for backup!
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Still hidden behind a tree for an ambush of the first trapper to pass, he made the mistake of looking around the tree and looked right in the eyes of the Defence Professor. An instinct told him to leap and turn the man in to a werewolf as well, a Defence against the dark arts teacher on their team would be great.

And that’s when he saw three more werewolves coming from behind the man and on the side. He grinned recognizing three Gryffindors. AJ , Zander and Jackson. Not wanting to blow their ambush, Yoongi started to growl at the Professor and walked closer slowly in a mean to distract him. Ready to jump out of sight when he had to. And then held his breath when AJ leapt in to the air and tried to attack the Professor. Did she get him? Just in case, Yoongi ran towards the other three in case they needed more backup .

Then Flamsteed told them to stop but his dummy was NOT YET attached to the wall so he paid the professor little attention, twisted and jabbing his wand outward as he began to cast the recently learned spell for what felt like the fiftieth time when the sight of his hand stopped him cold.

o_O There was way too much hair there. And... why was he feeling tingly? Everything was strangely warmer now. But there was mist? Why did his clothes feel weird? Perplexed, Benzi tuned in to Flamsteed just as he was explaining about the cookies. The professors had SLIPPED THEM SOMETHING. Note to self: never eat anything innocently offered by Professors. Especially cookies. Especially from Flamsteed, Culloden or Dakest. Specifically Dakest. And of course Culloden, he was the Potions professor. C'mon Benzi. Should have seen this coming.

Okay so according to Flamsteed he'd be getting mildly more aggressive and mildly more agile which essentially meant that he'd just be himself, but mildly pumped up. Cool. Testing out these new powers abilities, Benzi put his wand back in his new wrist holster and bounced around for a bit, getting the feel of the fur - surprisingly, he found he rather liked said fur - and the new found springiness. Not too bad. He could get used to this.

Now for a target. His sharper eyes did a sweep of the room and found four students who were still bald and human-like. And the three professors. One of whom was running and screaming... to Toby. Both of which had wolves hot on their heels. Looked like a party to him!

Using the mist to his advantage, Benzi ran through the shadowy bits towards the Astronomy professor, intending to JUMP!ATTACK him on his way to Toby. In his excitement, Benzi MIGHT have almost collided into a tree on his way. Good thing he had heightened reflexes.

When he was close, Benzi smirked and almost surprised himself when his throat emitted a low growl. Ooookay, werewolf Benzi. Raising both his hands, Benzi stayed low and SPRINTED FORWARD, heading towards a FULL ON collision course with Flamsteed.

AJ lunged out from behind the tree and growled deep. Yeah, the potion was mild, but AJ was in complete character. They could thank Glendower for all of her lessons.

"GRRRRR..." Airey caught her eye. Somebody had him running and ---

Yodeling? It definitely wasn't the normal girly man screeches. Whatever noise was coming out of his mouth she cared nothing about. Wanna take 15 points from her and her house? Well, then you were going to get werewolfed! Her super canine-y teeth were bared and she was still running on all fours because that was expected of a werewolf. AJ used to play crab soccer in primary school so she was actually quite speedy.

She was gaining on him. Erm.. umm.. she needed her hands since biting was most likely frowned upon. Right? Right. Definitely should keep her canine teeth to herself.

Standing up again like a sane person (as sane as you could be with fur and dog teeth) she started to swat in his direction. Slow down. It was hard work trying to turn a moving target into a werewolf, okay?

IT WAS RAINING POP ROCKS! THIS JUST IN! IT WAS RAINING PO---

"Mr. Toby! Don't waste it!" he cautioned while flailing his arms about and whacking a few bits of candy out of his face - WHICH, for anyone watching, had now STUCK TO THE ARM OF HIS SUIT! Thankfully, he was a bit too preoccupied by a Werejack (Miss Wojack as a werewolf) chasing after him to notice.

And in the next instant there was another one hurtling themselves in his general direction. A Mr...Rider if he was not mistaken. The astronomer was just BARELY able to spin out of harm's way, and hopefully the two would not collide...although that WOULD make trapping the pair of them easier if they had and say, oh, were temporarily stunned or something. Just no concussions, please. Should said collision actually take place.

And his spin nearly made it so that he trampled Miss Valentine, although his limber gangly limbs managed to avoid her swiping as well. Just barely.
SPOILER!!: Sophie!

She hoped Tobes was okay.

While the astronomer DID feel guilty, sort of ...since the two HAD been asking for it with their behavior, what he couldn't understand was why the pair of them were forgoing teamwork and allowing themselves to become black holes to their teenage angst.

Although, in all fairness, Mr. Toby had picked up his game a little with that candy throwing and was now in the process of climbing a tree. A concept that he was actually disappointed in himself for not doing in the first place. Aerial attacks towards there pseudo-werewolves on the ground? Seemed like a stellar idea to him!

"That doesn't look like running TOWARDS something, Miss Brown," he said as he sprinted on past here with the pack most likely still following. "TOWARDS SOMETHING, MISS BROWN! TOWARDS SOMETHING!"

Like him, he was currently running towards a tree...and possibly also towards Sabel (whose shape he could just barely make out in the mist). Needed to have each other's backs a bit more in this, Team Trapper that is.

With another few random zigzags, the Astronomy professor vanished from sight, somewhere behind a tree and shrouded in misty mystery.

...Wibble.

Run toward something. Ugh, Flamsteed knew JUST how to TEAR HER DOWN AGAIN, DIDN'T HE? So critical, just when she had convinced herself that he liked her again. "I was being ELUSIVE, professor, s'called STRATEGY," she defended her current position, but now he'd just given her position away to the entire class.

THANKS A WHOLE LOT, PROFESSOR.

Pocketing her bag of rocks for the time being, Sophie cast "Armanto" and caught the silver shield that she conjured. If she was being forced to take part in a war, then she was going to do it correctly. Shield in one hand, wand in the other, and now on her feet - she was ready for battle. Now she'd be able to block the hands of any werewolves who took her on from the front, which left her back vulnerable, sooo... she'd just have to be swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire, mysterious as the dark side of the MOOOON.

The dang moon. THIS WAS ALL ITS FAULT.

...Was that Dot trailing after Flamsteed? Um... um. UM. "MANUS INVISIBILIS!" Sophie shot at the pursuing Slytherin with a twist to the right and thrust of her wand, and hoping to cease the motion of all her limbs and recruit the feisty redhead to the good side again AND get back on Flamsteed's good side by DEFENDING HIS HONOR. Or something.

Pleeeeeease, Potions buddy?

Turning to make a run for it, the professor fumbled around with his enchanted breast pocket for his wand, all while making a nose that resembled yodeling as he ran - his attention only half paying attention to what was in front of him - through the forest and leaving swirls of mist in his wake.

"MR. TOBY! SAVE MEEEEEEEEEE!"

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNING.

You really couldn't reason with a girl when she was half werewolf like this, so in spite of the fact that FlamMan was running away and screaming like a bat on its night off, Dot kept stalking the man. He ran, she ran, and he jumped for a tree... well, Dot wasn't climbing that tree. Wolves did not climb trees, thank you.

She was getting really hungry. For StarMen. Or hamburgers, extra rare. OR CHICKEN WINGS. Yum.

Flamsteed was on the move again, and wereDot began her stalking again. He was JUST within reach of her paws when something hit her low and hard. A SPELL. WHO DID THAT? HOW DARE THEY DO THAT?

"NOOOOOOO-OOOOO-OOOOOOOO." STARMAN WAS A JERK AND SHE WAS GOING TO EAT HIM FOR PUTTING HER THROUGH THIS.

GOT HER.

"Don't worry, Wolfie Dot. You'll be back to normal in no time." Sophie crossed over to the redhead and fixed the girl's poor hair for her, first and foremost, as it had gotten messed up in the pursuit. It was only polite, okay? Surely the fourth year would've been grateful that she was looking out for her. Then Sophie shifted her silver shield under her arm and took her bag of blue pop rocks out from her pocket and counted out a few in her hand. She wasn't sure how many the girl needed to change back to normal, but she also didn't want her to CHOKE or anything, so the Ravenclaw picked out what she thought was just enough and, grateful that she didn't have to open the girl's mouth as it was already hanging open in despair, she gently dumped the candies into the Slytherin's mouth.

"Come back to me, friend." Wouldn't she? Friends again? No more hair, no more scary-looking teeth, no growling? Only Wojack sass?

Instead of the taste of STARMAN BLOOD on her tongue, there was bright, sugary flavor crackling there. Something about it, plus the antidote to her spell, reminded Dot that she wasn't actually a wolf child. She was a girl. And her favorite professor (or one of them) had given her a cookie that made her act like a beast.

She came back to herself with tears running down now smooth cheeks. "I wanted to eat people! Soph, I don't want to eat anyone." It made her feel kind of monstrous to think that she'd been chasing... no, hunting someone just a moment before. Was she kind of monstrous too?

Dot wiped her face hastily. "Gimme some of those candies. No one should have to be a wolf if they don't wanna be a wolf." Except for werewolves, but that was a social justice issue for a different day.

Except if he remembered the rules explained by Flamsteed correctly, she couldn't since they 'werewolves' needed too hands to touch and convert them to a creature too. She yelled out to find her attacker, narrowing her eyes as well.

"I did..." he admitted quietly almost to himself as he come up beside her. The side where her arm wasn't waving. Ben took the seeming advantage that she wasn't aware of who or where her attacker was to come up with the candy to change her back. He tried to do it as gently as possible, giving the pop rocks to her to eat.
BENNY?!? Benny the NICE DUDE? What kind of sick joke was this? Even as a werewolf Norah wasn't just going to suggest such a nice dude and look where it got her. STABBED in the BACK. Okay, more like fed...in the front...but y'know what it was still tragic. She ate the pop rocks grudgingly, trying not to smile at the fizzing on her tongue because SULLEN CAPTIVE, remember? It did tickle though. Heh.

She watched kind of sadly as the hair she'd grown all by herself started to go away. She hadn't even grown her beard yet. Boooooo. So now she was all normal, yeah? As much as she was supposed to live in fear of getting caught again, she still wanted a little bit to be a werewolf again because that'd mean another chance to grow a beard. The fourth year had priorities. Obviously. "You can let me go now, right?" Benny got an angelic smile, free of big canine teeth which was totally lame but watcha gonna do.

Oh. Oh... no. No. Were those tears?

Oh no.

"Dot..." Soph tried to soothe her gently, wrapping the crying Slytherin in a huge hug and pocketing her pop rocks and wand so she could reach up a free hand to smooth down the younger girl's hair. "I know you'd never want to eat anyone or hurt anyone or anything." The kid was too sweet. "We'll save the others, okay? We'll free 'em from that. It'll be okay."

She may have been talking to the fourth year like she was a young child, but she didn't know how else to calm her down and get her to stop crying. When she pulled away from the hug, Dot seemed to be okay, though, and even more determined than Sophie had ever seen her. Determined to DE-WOLFIFY THEIR CLASSMATES.

"We'll be a team, you and me," Soph told her quietly, taking the pop rocks back out and sharing them with Dot, then got her wand back out. "We'll turn people back, one at a time, okay? When one of us catches one, the other can hurry to administer the cure, and then we'll keep going. How 'bout that?" Would that make her feel better and fix the situation?

He knew the trappers were outnumbered in size and if he didn't change llia into a werewolf this very instant, she might get injured by other student werewolves too. He didn't want that, after all they had blindingly sharp razor set of teeth and speed that he could only imagine. He would just need to make her one of them. He howled and began running straight towards her. He would only touch and she would be one with the pack, right?

But llia was quick to cast the binding charm at him and he fell forward,crashing onto the ground right in front of her. He glanced down and growled menacingly, frustrated that his pair of legs were useless to him now. His blood boiling in anger at llia for trapping him. No matter! He turned his body around and crawled using his still movable arms.
"Unbinndd me nowww!!Grrrrrr!"he growled at her, his voice unnaturally hoarse and deeper than normal.


Her bind had worked just in time as he fell before her. She backed up a little from her target, keeping concentration and hold on him. The only problem was.....she only had control of his lower half. He realized that as quickly as she did unfortunately though and began to crawl towards her. He was growling and calling for her to release him, but she would not yield to his anger. Don't hate me later.... She used her free hand to search for her bag of candy / antidote. Multitasking holding him down and watching for other dangers while retrieving her antidote was difficult to say the least. She didn't dare lose any concentration on Henric though. If this were reality, one slip and she was as good as dead or at least infected. She managed to extract the candydote into her hand. With the handful, she started tossing it piece by piece at her best furry friends mouth. Hopefully, enough would make their mark and turn him back into her sweetiepuff bestie. Eww......did she seriously just think of him as that?

There were people casting spells left and right, and in the back of her head, Kate knew she was really a thirteen year old girl, she was really in a classroom, and she really wasn't THIS angry at some of her classmates. She growled again, and it brought on a little more anger. She inched closer to those she felt the anger toward, almost daring them to cast on her or try to capture her in any way.

Werekate looked down at all her fur, and she ran a furred hand over it. She should feel scared, embarrassed, or disgusted at all that fur, but she didn't. The overwhelming feeling of being angry overpowered all other feelings. She growled again and allowed her eyes to scan the crowd of students. What had they ever done to anger her so much?

Taking a moment to regain his composure - it was HARD out running all those spunky little furry students - he took a moment to remove his lint roller from his enchanted breast pocket and tended to his suit.

And then he heard a growl.

Turning his head, the professor spotted yet another student turned pseudo-werewolf...and all he had in his hand was a lint roller. Which, by the way, he forgot was a lint roller, and thrust it towards the Ravenclaw. "MANUS INVISIBILIS!"

Of course NOTHING happened. It was a lint roller for Merlin's sake.

Realizing his mistake, Airey fumbled with his pocket again until he found his found wand. Ahem. No one had seen that....had they? Ahem.

TAKE TWO!

"MANUS INVISIBILIS!"

Sweet solstice why was this wand movement so complicated?!

Did Adi Rehman even know how lucky he was? Did he, tho?

Cutty completed his revolutions and noted the blue light disappearing from the left side of the moon until it took up half of the moon at what was to be it's last quarter, and then he was once again facing forward at what would be the new moon phase. His mind logged this information of what you see vs. what you don't see from where you are as a method of deduction that could be applicable to human beings as well.

The package of oreos landed on his desk with a crinkle and Cutty tore it open with a charm. He wasn't normally one for sweets on a good day, on a day when someone had just vomited all over class he was even less so, but he managed to carve out the creams in the according shapes with his finger. The struggle of getting them to be open face was too real, though and there were many casualties. He stole one or two from Beverly Wayne's package just to complete the exercise. It was less perfect than Professor Flamsteed's example.

Far less perfect.

Slytherins were dramatic so why not? It was information intensive. And so, rather impatiently, Cutty cleared everything off of his desk, save his potions tools, with a charm. It was time for note-taking and then a question for Professor Thompson, although maybe Dakest would know...because...if werewolves require the bite of another werewolf to become a werewolf, how in the hell did the first werewolf come into being?

He places his notes aside and took out a pair of dragonhide gloves. Handling aconite, afterall. He noticed his gloves were still dirty from their last use and so he had to take his wand to them, scourgifying between the fingers and at the edge of their opening. They were starting to look a little more than worn, finally after six years of continuous double duty in both Herbology and Potions. He could've bought himself a new pair last term or the term before that and they likely would've fit better, but he didn't see the point when he'd grow into the one pair he had and would rather save that money for further education. He did not know that Adonis Mordaunt would help and knew that his mother couldn't.

Once his gloves were on, Cutty took out his cauldron, gave it a scourgifying and placed it onto the burner. Using his wand, he adjusted the flame and then proceeded to pour the glass of cows milk into the cauldron. He noted the time and then checked the brass cauldron before them. To be on the safe side, he cleansed it quickly and then summoned water into it. He eyeballed the amount, considering that the milk too would be added. When the 3 minutes were up, he gripped the edges of his cauldron and added it to the brass one. His then empty cauldron went back onto it's flame before Cutty extinguished it and used the wand to make the fire below the brass cauldron a low flame.

Checking out the ingredients, the miscreant from the Bandar Log hell flipped his cutting board onto the desk surface to cleanse it. The knife and the metal stirrer, however he heated to sterilize taking full advantage of the fact that he could wherever possible. With his knife and the cutting board cleaned and sterilized, he took the fluxweed and quickly, very quickly, chopped the plant. He added it to the brass cauldron and introduced the metal stirrer giving the thus far pleasant smelling concoction 7 clockwise stirs.
7,...6,...5,...4,...3,...2,...1.

The dog fur was then added with some degree of curiousity. Just as with the bat tongues Cutty had encountered from when he was younger, he wondered what magical properties the dog fur had. It was such a plentiful supply and mundane item to add to a potion like the one they were working on. He looked up at the wall mounted clock and waited for the minute hand to hit on the minute before releasing the last pinch of the fur into the potion and noted the time on his parchment of notes.

That seemed to be all Professor Culloden was asking for now for it was wands out. Cutty withdrew his metal stirrer, gave it a cleansing and placed it down on the surface of the desk so he could remove his wand and practice the spell. He practiced the wand motion drawing a circle over his empty cauldron. When he'd gotten that motion committed, he quietly practiced the incantation. "Re-CORE-doh." Though it sounded different accounting for the Scottish accent of their Potions Master. The memory could've only been one thing. And it kept him smiling as he scourgified his own cauldron along with the cutting board and knife before putting all away in preparation for Professor Dakest's portion of the class.

It was somewhat, however, washed away by something Professor Dakest had mentioned.

"...it is of the utmost importance to remember that werewolves are humans and need to be treated as such."

Cutty would take this to uncharted waters. He neither fully understood nor respected the need for emotional coddling, but knew it as a need in some people. He found it interesting, though those times he'd seen it up close and more interesting now was the attitude people seemed to take toward it's application and use. He was listening. Carefully. To what else Sabel Dakest had to say.

As he went over a listing of spells that would be effective for slowing down a werewolf, his mind recalled a Care of Magical Creatures class that mentioned not all beasts being effected by all magical spells and things. But then, maybe that's what Professor Dakest meant by not forgetting that werewolves were to be treated as human. Clearing away his desk, which now consisted of only his brass cauldron and notes, and standing he looked down with a smiling sort of fascination at the flailing wooden dummy before him. He found a safe place to place the potion and continued to give freely of his attention.

Were those...tears of joy forming on Cutty's face 2 sentences into Dakest's introduction to Manus Invisbilis? His mind began racing with the possibilities as he let his absence of attention give Beverly the entire right-of-way. Before he knew it the exercise was up and he was full of thoughts moste terrible.


His eyes still a little misty from that bit of information as the familiar muggle stock product was being passed around. Did things get any better? Could they? From vomit to brewing to strange wooden dummies, a new binding spell option and NOW...sellable product...FOR FREE. Cutty wasn't sure how much more of this he could take.

And then he was turned into werewolf lite. Some of Professor Flamsteed's sneezed cookie must've made onto the end of his quill, which he had the occasional habit of sucking.


;_____; Hogwarts. What a beautiful place.

FLAMSTEED!

It was him Kate was so angry at! She couldn't even focus on how awesome his lesson had been at the beginning of the class. All she could focus on was the fact that he looked like he wanted to attack her rather than help her. Some professor he was! She was covered in fur and plagued by these confusing feelings of anger, and all he wanted to do was attack her?!

Kate advanced on him, planning to attack him before he had a chance to follow through with his plans of attacking her. Just as she reached out to touch him, though, she saw a large object thrusted toward her, and she dodged to the left. He would not cast on her with a wa--... With a lint roller?

Deep down inside, Kate found that funny, and she was so caught up with her deep, werewolf-type laughter that she missed him taking out an actual wand. "RAWR--HAHAHA!" Werekate laughed. Then BAM! His spell hit her, and she just stopped right where she was and could no longer move. She let out a half-grown, half-howl as she began to accept defeat.

"We'll be a team, you and me," Soph told her quietly, taking the pop rocks back out and sharing them with Dot, then got her wand back out. "We'll turn people back, one at a time, okay? When one of us catches one, the other can hurry to administer the cure, and then we'll keep going. How 'bout that?" Would that make her feel better and fix the situation?
There was no more crying. Nope. Dot was still feeling a bit wounded about the way things had gone down, but now she was determined to be a werewolf freedom fighter. Her and Soph, 'cause they were a team. She couldn't help but throw her arms around the older Ravenclaw and squeeze the life out of her momentarily.

There now. Hugging over.

Who needed their help first? She wiped at her face with her shirt and surveyed those nearest to them. Who... that little Ravenclaw was being taken care of by StarMan (glare glare glare). So... "Cutty. I think? Has his shoes, at least." And Dot was an expert at shoes.

She was covered in fur and plagued by these confusing feelings of anger, and all he wanted to do was attack her?!

Kate advanced on him, planning to attack him before he had a chance to follow through with his plans of attacking her. Just as she reached out to touch him, though, she saw a large object thrusted toward her, and she dodged to the left. He would not cast on her with a wa--... With a lint roller?

Deep down inside, Kate found that funny, and she was so caught up with her deep, werewolf-type laughter that she missed him taking out an actual wand. "RAWR--HAHAHA!" Werekate laughed. Then BAM! His spell hit her, and she just stopped right where she was and could no longer move. She let out a half-grown, half-howl as she began to accept defeat.
AHA!

JUST like he had planned ALL ALONG.

Sort of.

Not at all, really.


That was going to be the story he told people if they asked. Using the lint roller as a distraction. Hey...would any of them play fetch? Oh sweet solstice man, what a derogatory thing to think! Not to mention COMPLETELY against the message of the lesson. The astronomer smacked his forehead hard enough to leave a red hand print there before walking towards Miss Addison and pouring a few Pop Rocks from his bag into her mouth. Which was easy to do since she was howling and everything.

"All...set..." he said, observing the Ravenclaw for a few moments to make sure that she really WAS all set.

REVENGE, duh.

Sure, his anger had vanished a while ago but the hurt was still there, man. He had worked so hard to keep his own insecurities in check even though he still dreaded that Angel would one day make Benny forget about him but here he was apparently stealing Adi's insecurity. Yeah, well he didn't care about that right now because the once bestie had chosen to ignore his explanation that he wasn't trying to replace him.

Werewolf Adi bared his fangs again, growling louder than before. SWIPE, SWIPE! Come on, Benny! Let's make you one of us! Mwahahaha! There was no way he was going to give up at this. The Gryffindor would have to cure his current form if he wanted to stop it all.

As his once bestie backed up, Adi moved forward, still swiping both of his hairy arms.


Yeah his plea was useless as Adi continued to move forward. Ben was sort of regretting the decision to remain in the lesson, especially after the potions mishap. If he had made he escape, he certainly wouldn't be here, in this position, with his old friend looking quite upset and wild at him. Certainly not the hippogriff the Hufflepuff always preferred to be related to as his choice of creature.

Benny continued to back away, quickly trying to deliberate his actions as Adi growled again, his modified canines well in view. Sure he could try and attack but he also had to get away...to keep away from his companion's swinging arms trying to grab him and turn him. His fellow sixth year was too close and by the description of the potion too quick to allow him to just turn around and make a break for it. The sounds from around the classroom were likely proof of attempts made in that nature, especially Flamsteed's yelling.

Suddenly the Gryffindor appeared to have tripped over something hidden in his backward path, falling backwards onto the ground and into the mist.

Kate released another half-howl of agony, as she accepted defeat. She'd wanted to attack him so badly, but for the life of her, she couldn't remember why. ... Oh, right. There was a lint roller involved, and it had been pointed right at her. But why had she been so angry at him before the whole lint roller incident?

... Yum, POP ROCKS!

Kate's attention span was either flatlining, or she was doing some sort of weird transition that was extremely confusing to understand. All she knew, though, was that she loved the taste of Pop Rocks, and she suddenly didn't care how angry she was at certain people. As a matter of fact, she really didn't feel that angry at all. She felt...normal.

Kate finished off the Pop Rocks that had been offered to her and looked at Flamsteed. "I'm me again. Thanks," she said with a smile. This meant she'd taken a good look at herself and seen skin instead of fur. "All set," she confirmed. She'd stay and chat, but WEREWOLVES. Now...who else needed saving?

It did tickle though. Heh.

She watched kind of sadly as the hair she'd grown all by herself started to go away. She hadn't even grown her beard yet. Boooooo. So now she was all normal, yeah? As much as she was supposed to live in fear of getting caught again, she still wanted a little bit to be a werewolf again because that'd mean another chance to grow a beard. The fourth year had priorities. Obviously. "You can let me go now, right?" Benny got an angelic smile, free of big canine teeth which was totally lame but watcha gonna do.


Ben stepped back once he was sure his captive had eaten some of what he had given her. Watching for evidence it had worked, it wasn't long before his attention was thanked by the sight of the hairy student returning to her normal self. Norah the Hufflepuff clearly indentified in the reveal.

Oh right....letting her go.

"Um....I guess," he remarked, thinking back to the explaination of the spell earlier in the class. There wasn't a counter to the charm though he supposed there was still an option that would hopefully work. "Finite!" he cast, aiming at Norah in hopes that it would cancel and end the immobilizing spell.


"Sorry about that." You know...going against her and feeding her the candy.

Getting up this tree wasn't working at all. Maybe he was trying to go too quickly, or maybe they were charmed with an anti-climbing spell, or maybe Toby was simply too panicked to get any kind of proper hold on the bark or branches to really get up there. He looked back again, wide-eyed, upon hearing Airey's admonishment. Maybe, if he wasn't so focused on fleeing up this tree and they weren't in the middle of a MANHUNT and he wasn't so terrified of that EXTRA AGGRESSION that was running full-steam at him and threatening to pass the same to him... maybe without all that, he'd have gotten a little upset. Again. But yeah. Maybe later. Little busy.

Because when he'd looked back to see Airey, what Toby had actually seen was that WERESTUDENT. This time, as he dangled by his fingers from a lower branch of the tree, he thought he could tell who it was. Lux. Lux Carrington, and she was about to get him, and this time, he wouldn't be able to dodge it.

"No!" Toby cried out, panic gripping his voice. "Please, NO! I don't want to be a werewolf!" He didn't... he couldn't. He was so afraid of accidentally hurting someone, and he knew he was capable of it. He didn't want to feel that aggression. The fear was real. Soon he was all but screeching into the gloom as he tried to get away and up the tree to safety. "I CAN'T. I DON'T WANT TO BE A WEREWOLF! IDON'TWANTTOBEAWEREWOLF! NO NO NO NO NO PLEASE NO, I DON'T WAN-" Despite flailing around from that branch, there was no avoiding it. Lux's swipe caught him (CRITICAL HIT), and Toby fell suddenly and eerily silent. He let go of the branch and landed smartly on the floor.

...

......

.........

There was hair growing on his hands, and when he touched his face, Toby felt it growing there too. When he looked up and around at the others whom he could actually see, he found that suddenly the werestudents didn't look like they were moving so impossibly slow anymore. In fact, the trappers he could see looked like they were lumbering through the mist.

He ran a tongue over his teeth to find that they'd changed too, and suddenly... there it was... the aggression. It suddenly burned up within him, piled on to all the other confusing and messy feelings of the day, and Toby suddenly felt like he was going to explode. He watched some of the others, and felt it. The need to take someone down. To hit out at them. To grab them and subject them to this too. He gritted his teeth as an expression as ugly as his mood suddenly became clear on his werewolf face. He had enough of his wits about him to focus on one thing in particular...

Dakest, Culloden, or Flamsteed. He was gonna get one of them. Bring them down and give THEM a taste of this.

Toby gave an angry huff, clenching his jaw tightly. He was ready.

Don't hate me later.... She used her free hand to search for her bag of candy / antidote. Multitasking holding him down and watching for other dangers while retrieving her antidote was difficult to say the least. She didn't dare lose any concentration on Henric though. If this were reality, one slip and she was as good as dead or at least infected. She managed to extract the candydote into her hand. With the handful, she started tossing it piece by piece at her best furry friends mouth. Hopefully, enough would make their mark and turn him back into her sweetiepuff bestie. Eww......did she seriously just think of him as that?


Hen-wolf-ric frowned as he covered his wolf face from being pelted by llia's poprocks. He refused to eat them! HE REFUSED! Grrrr!! This made Henwolfric more angry. He growled and swung his hairy arms in front of him, hoping one of them could grab hold of her leg. There was no way,he would go down without a fight. Being a werewolf was so much fun than being a trapper! Come on llia! Join us! His werewolf urge to turn her into one of them getting stronger with each swing. Once he managed to turn her, he would go after the professors next especially Professor Flamsteed for tricking them into eating his OREO cookies. NOBODY MESSED WITH OREO COOKIES unless they dipped in milk!
