It was a lovely September morning, not too hot and not too cold. A perfect day for this lesson! Tristan had set up shop in an empty pasture in front of the barn. He set out bales of hay in a semi circle for the students to sit on, and a black board in front of the semi circle. There was not one clue as to what creature they would be working with today. He wanted it to be a surprise.
There was a throne fashioned out of hay bales, and on it sat Professor Wayland with a grin on his face. Hey if he was going to be waiting for students to arrive he might as well be comfortable. He took a sip of his Chai Tea from his mug, and sat on his hay throne waiting for his students to make their appearance.
OOC: Welcome to the first CoMC Lesson of the term! Though this is our first lesson together, this is not the first CoMC lesson of the year, so please keep that in mind! Please make sure you take a gander at the CoMC Rules while waiting. Class will start in 24 hours. Class has begun so please jump in and join us!
Kitty made her way over to the care of magical creatures class, humming casually to herself in a peaceful manner. She waved at her friends and moved to sit. "Good morning professor. I like your throne."

Rooney was just extremely excited to have some of his favourite subjects taken over by new people this year. He loved to experience different teaching methods and how it spurred him to widen his knowledge about things in so many different ways. He gave a wide smile and a wave to Professor Wayland before choosing to sit directly beside Olivia. Roo found it funny that the Professor was sat on a makeshift throne and it tickled every part of his love of the spotlight. He reached gently for the nearest of Olivia's hands, giving it a squeeze and her a gentle smile.
"I'm going to build you a throne in our house one day, my love. Not of hay. Of love and long-lasting materials." Because they were in class, he kept his voice quiet to avoid anyone properly listening in and took his hand back to his own knee so that there couldn't be any calls of him being an unsuitable role model.
He had a reputation as Head Boy to uphold in his lessons and his extensive love for the Gryffindor girl who had his heart could be saved for hushed whisperings of affection for now. Her jewellery was enough of a permanent show.
Sully bounced down to the Care of Magical Creatures lessons. She was no good with magical creatures ... her grades thus far in this class clearly reflected that. Now give her a perfectly normal kitten and she was good to go.
Ugh, but none the less here she went. Sully noticed hay bales laid out for them to sit on.... she was probably to short to get on the big ones... so instead she just sat on the ground in front of one. Looking around to see if she recognized anyone here. Smiling at the teacher in case they made eye contact.

Teddy's curls were pulled back into a messy bun for her lesson today. She figured they would be doing hands on work that would be easier with her hair out of her face.
She could recognize a few faces from her first lesson. Definitely the couple that seemed to be glued at the hip. Oh the two who were drinking demiguise essence at potions nonchalantly.
Teddy took a seat near the professor, picking up the scent of the chai emitting from his mug. Suddenly, Teddy felt unbearably homesick.
Care of Magical Creatures was pretty much his favorite class, along with a couple other typically hands-on subjects, so of course he was in a fantastic mood as he headed down toward the barn for today's lesson. Oh, hay bales for seats. That gave Henry an idea, but he'd have to give it a little more thought before anything else. Focusing on class though.
"Good morning, Professor," he greeted the man with a grin as he passed, then looked for an empty hay bale to sit. There were a ton of people he knew there already, so they all got waves, hi's, and cheery smiles as he walked through the class area. But he ultimately chose a spot by Charlotte and Oliver.
"Beautiful day, isn't it?" he offered to the two sitting closest to him. It probably helped that he had been up for a while already, but it truly was a nice day in his opinion. Too bad all his classes couldn't be outside today.

The awesome thing for him about this class was the fact that he didn't have to be dressed in his school robes. The sixth year was only too happy to be dressed in jeans and bottom up shirt. He was sure to roll his sleeves to his elbows, because really, who wore them down these days?
After greeting the professor Bentley scanned the gathering of students. It didn't take him long to spot Thea who he walked right over to.
"Antisocial much." He greeted, giving her a bit of a nudge.

The bright side to being outdoors was being able to enjoy the weather, and in comfortable clothing too. It was one of the reasons why she'd decided to show up to the lesson - instead of skip it like she'd done in the past - and would be more than willing to participate. Mostly. Bentley's voice had startled her, briefly, but she recovered and flashed him a smile.
"Don't start, Benny," she warned playfully. "Maybe I was saving my socialness for a certain someone." And, because he'd initiated, she nudged him back.

Junia liked creatures well enough and the fourth year made her way towards the group, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. Fresh air, familiar faces, and the sight of a hay throne made for a happy Slytherin princess.
"Hello Professor Wayland." The fourteen year old curtsied as always and looked around. Still plenty of places to sit. Picking one towards the far end of the semi circle, she headed towards it, waving at friends and acquaintances as she went.
Actually, quite frankly, Abey didn't believe anyone who said that today was a 'perfect' weather day. After having spent the summer back home, in a lovely HOT country, being back at Scotland was like PRACTICALLY being in the ARCTIC. Or the Antarctic. Whichever was the one with the penguins, because penguins were cute, actually.
Anyway, it was cold. No argument about it; it just WAS. So, of course, Abey was all bundled up as he arrived at the Care of Magical Creatures lesson, and unsurprised to find Derf was already here. Abey wouldn't be surprised even to find out that Derf basically slept in the creatures place, except that he would actually be surprised on account of he knew that wasn't true.
"G'morning professor," Abey said as he sidled over to join the gathering crowd and took a seat on a bale of hay.
Oh! Was that a Junia?
It was a Junia, so Abey got right back up again and relocated so that he was sat right beside her. There. Better.

Brent headed out to the pastures, ready to take one of the first Care of Magical Creatures lessons of the school year. This class was always interesting. There really wasn't a whole lot of discussion, and it was pretty hands-on, so he was cool with it. Reaching the classroom area, Brent grinned at the professor. "Hello, Professor," he said. He wasn't sure if the professor remembered his name or not, but none of the other kids had said their names, so Brent didn't either.
He took a few seconds to glance around to see if his bro or any of his close friends were around, but he didn't see any of them. Maybe they'd come sit by him! He snagged an empty bale of hay and got himself as comfortable as possible. Alright, dudes. Let's get this party started!

Declan was a few things. He was serious and he was tall. He was loyal and he was stubborn. He was inquisitive, quite clever at times, and at the worst of times really really petty.
Upon sighting his sister and Bentley nudging each other while he approached the site of the lesson, well, he was possibly reaching the worst of times.
"Hey Professor," he greeted quickly and raised a hand as if he was requesting a high five but he did not stop, he did not slow down. Instead, Declan continued to walk quickly towards the hay bales. He moved behind Althea and Bentley and with one long gangly leg, he stuck it between the two.
"Hey you two!" Declan wiggled in between, moving his body back and forth until he made enough room to fit his other leg and succinctly the rest of him. After bumping and nudging some more, Declan sat between the two with a satisfied sigh. "Hay, huh? This is bound to make our bottoms itchy."

Sam always looked forward to getting outside, and today was no exception. With the nice weather, she'd had a comfortable amble down from the castle, although her relaxed smile soon took a bemused turn when she saw the hay bale throne the Professor was sitting on. "Looks comfy, Sir," she commented, as she ventured past it towards the much less impressive student versions.
She could have sworn she saw her bestie arrive shortly before her, and was briefly confused before spotting her on the opposite side. "For me?" she commented at the patting of the bale as she closed the gap between them. "Yeh didn't 'av teh." There was space on the other side of Mason, after all.

Care of Magical Creatures was an interesting subject, but more, it was a means to an end. Katy didn't mind it, except when professors spent a bit too much time on boring creatures and not enough time on truly interesting ones. It made sense, she supposed, since she wasn't likely to run into cool dangerous creatures in the wild... but she waslikely to find flobberworms in her garden. Disappointing life, sometimes.
Katy grabbed a bale of hay near Althea and (ugh) Bentley, giving a cheerful wave and a crossed eye glare respectively. And then Declan got a disapproving and amused shake of the head. "You're not supposed to talk about your bum in public, Kenning Number 4. It's bad form. Use obscure yet colorful metaphors."
She settled onto her bale of hay, leaving a spot for Oliver if he wanted one. Okay. Definitely itchy.

COMC was not a favorite of this one. He really didn't care to learn about creatures. Unless someone was grilling them there was really no point,
but since his mother was a BOG member now she would know if he skipped out on classes and for that thought alone he was nowhere. He drug his feet through so that it took longer to get to the pasture.
Honestly how many creatures pooped right where he was walking. Even if it wasn't visible there was probably residue that was now on his shoe. As he made his way towards the other students the professor's thrown didn't go unnoticed. Excuse me Professor you are in my seat was what he wanted to say, but it could wait. One day when he was Lord Blaze he'd have his thrown and it would be bigger than that one.
Giving a nod to the professor he headed for an empty seat.

Outdoor classes were most enjoyable…well as long as there weren’t any too dangerous, or too cold conditions to contend with…and so far the day was going well. Cassie made her way down to the creature barn dressed in her comfortable clothes as suggested, her bag of supplies including gloves slung over her shoulder. Ready for whatever lay ahead in the lesson. Upon reaching the pasture in front of the barn, the Ravenclaw noticed that quite a few of her fellow students were already there besides the professor front and center.
“Good morning Professor,” Cass greeted the man as she approached his throne. From there, she moved to take a seat of her own from among available spots on other hay bales. There was no readily available clue or notice as to what the topic of the day was so the girl settled for trying to keep her curiosity at bay. They’d find out soon enough, she was sure of that.
Sam had a general mehness about Care of Magical Creatures. It wasn't her favorite, thought it wasn't her least favorite either. She was just kind of sick of them, being raised on a farm and having a sister and cousin who were just gaga over them. She tended to get into trouble around them too, for doing things like stuffing an owl into a trunk. Which was just the one time, but no one would let her forget it. But one thing that really drove her crazy and made her not fond of the class was the fact that in the past they had been taught some things that were just plain well, stupid. They didn't make any sense, and when she had talked to her sister, who had spent years studying the creatures, had been told that what they learned in class was wrong. So yeah, it was difficult to believe anyone who taught this class.
That didn't stop her from taking it though. Nope, it would give her things to pester Emmaleigh about. So she went to class with a smile on her face and greeted the professor with a "Hello" before surveying those already there. It saddened her quite a bit to see that her cousin was already there, and sitting with people. They were supposed to sit together to talk about the class together. Also to help her with things, since he was a super genius in the class. Seriously, having a magizoologist for a mom was sooooo cheating. Instead of sitting with the boy she found herself a seat a little ways over.

Oliver walked into the barn, seeing his classmates. There were so many of them here already and he was hoping he wasn't late already. But it didn't seem like it.. King-Professor Waylan was seated on a Throne of Hay, drinking from a mug. Too relaxed for class to be going.
He spotted the seat Katy had saved for him and sat on the hay. Itchy substance that it was.. "Did I miss anything interesting? Any idea what we're studying?" They were in the barn so he didn't think anything too incredible. Unless the Professor was full of surprises.
He leaned forward and waved at Althea, There was some other guy there too and Oliver had seen him around but he really didn't know his name.. Barry? Benny? Billy? Nope.. Oliver couldn't say he knew who he was really.. But whatever he was here for class, not meeting people.
Emmeline sprinted down the lawn towards the creatures area. Care of Magical Creatures was her automatic-favorite class for obvious reasons: taking care of CREATURES! She was so excited to see what new creature they'd be studying today! As she approached the pasture area where class was being held today, she noticed a lot of people were already sitting on hay bales. Oh no! Was she late?! She glanced at her watch to make sure, but no, she was a few minutes early. Thank Merlin...
Then she realized that the professor was sitting on a hay bale shaped like a THRONE. Was he like...the king of creatures? Or were they going to learn about a kingly creature? That would be cool!
"Hi Professor," She smiled as she greeted the professor, then gave Stasya and Abey a wave. Spotting Derf sitting in the front, she bounced over to him and plopped down beside him. "Hey Derf! Has he said what we're studying today?"

"I like your throne."
The caffeine was really getting to her.
Tristan grinned at the first student to arrive, nodding his head, "Hello, Olivia! Very well and you?" He chuckled as she curtsied at her. Not exactly what he was going for with his throne, but he would take it. "Thank you very much! I made it myself." He said with a grin.

Yep.
"Good day, Dora. Hogwarts is my home, so I find it far more than alright." Tristan said with a wink and a smile. This one seemed a bit nervous to talk to him and went as far away from him as she could...interesting.

Tristan smiled and nodded, "Hello, Etta. Doing very well. Hope you are well....as well." He said with a chuckle, watching as she moved to sit next to Olivia. They still had a bit before class started so hopefully more students would arrive shortly.

Tenacius zoomed for the barns on his trusty cruiser. They have a new Professor, and he was looking forward to meeting him. He made a wide loop to slow his velocity down and hopped off his board just as he was entering the pasteur "Hey there Professor Wayland!" he greeted the man with that trademarked Tenaciusly bright smile.
Tristan was surprised that not only was a prefect riding around on some kind of hover board type thing, he also couldn't believe that he brought it to class with him. "Morning, Tenacious. If you would please deposit that contraption by the barn, and please don't bring it to this class anymore. It may scare the creatures, and we wouldn't want to be stampeded by Abraxans now would we?" He said with a wink, "You can pick it up after class is over." He smiled and awaited the next student.

"Hello, Elora and thank you! It is quite comfy." He said with a grin as the young girl made her way to take a seat. So many compliments on his throne...he may just have to do something different with it next term...maybe a lounge chair....Who knows!

Someone was in a very good mood this morning!
Hopefully his lesson would continue that good mood. "Always am, Olivia! You seem to be very chipper today as well!" He said with a smile and watched as the older girl sat with Elora, the first year. It was so nice to see older students helping out younger students.

Trying his best not to roll his eyes, the seventh year gave a nod at him instead. "Good day, Sir" he greeted before turning around to see where he could sit.
Spotting Dora at the faaaaaaar back, Mason walked towards her and sat down next to her. "Can you believe that throne" he whispered, low enough so that only Dora could hear and rolled his eyes.
Though some people didn't seem to think the throne was funny. He really didn't care. Tristan made it so he wouldn't have to stand uncomfortably waiting for all the students to arrive. Mason didn't realize that the look he was trying not to make was noticed, but that was alright. "Good day to you, Mason." He said with a small smile. Watching as the boy whispered something to Dora and rolled his eyes. He just ignored it. He was probably just trying to impress the girl anyway.

No matter what, it was going to be her favorite, and she had practically bounced over to the pasture in front of the barn when it was time for the lesson. Maybe she could sneak over and visit her squirrel again afterward, or even sneak him out to watch the lesson. It was something she’d figure out after she got there, and she’d given the professor on his hay throne a big grin. “G’morning Professor Wayland! Is that a phoenix on your mug?”
"Morning, Stasya! It is indeed!" Tristan said with a smile. The young girl was in the barn very often checking in on her Red Squirrel, which made him happy to know that she took such good care of him. She would be of great help in the future.

If a adult could do it than she could do the same. Hmpf!
"Hello, Leesha!" Tristan wiggled around in his throne of hay a little, "It could be more comfortable, but it is hay after all. A bit itchy." He said with a wink and a smile. Hay was significantly itchy...he would have to figure out a spell to make it not itchy...or you know...use something that wasn't itchy.

Tristan chuckled. His second curtsy of the day. "Morning, Hadley! If I were a King, certainly, but I am not, therefore I shan't." He said with a grin. Though he kinda wished had a sword now....

"Hello, Shay! Hope you're well." He said with a smile. So many students were showing up he was starting to get that little nervous flutter. But he knew it would be alright.

Now what would they be learning today? Something fun, probably! It was always fun! Except when there was too much homework.. but she would remain hopeful and positive about that too.
"Hello, Charlotte...or would you rather Char? Whatever you prefer really." He said with a smile. Tristan only wanted his students to be happy so he would call them by any name they wanted him to.

(Certain potions were clearly working to her advantage).
This greeting made Tristan chuckle the most. "Good morning, Noelle. Professor will do just fine, thank you." He said with a grin.
He went to take a sip of his tea and chuckled, shaking his had, then took a big swallow. All this talking...he was going to need some water for sure.

"If I choose this bale right here, will you make it into a throne as well? I've got no plans at usurping." She simply loved the design and couldn't help think of the added back support as opposed to sitting on that hay that would inevitably see her slouching.
"This one too, in case Derf wants a throne?"
"Hello, Jessa!" He said with a smile and watched as she picked a bale of hay. Then the girl asked if he could make two more thrones, promising not to usurp. He smiled, "Sorry, Jessa. I only had enough extra to make this one." He said with a wink.

Please please please please please??
Tristan couldn't help but chuckle at Derf's excitement. Though he was a handful, he was a good kid. "Hello, Derfael. Yes it is a Phoenix on my mug, and you will just have to wait and see what we are doing today." He said with a wink. He didn't want to ruin the surprise.

"Morning Professor," the fourth year smiled as she glanced around for an empty hay bale to sit on, even though she doubted they would be sitting for long.
"Morning, Skylar." Tristan said with a smile and a nod. Man, his class was really filling up..he might have to.....dethrone himself. The thought made him kind of sad, but he would if he had to.
Though he hoped he wouldn't...

"Good morning professor," he greeted before heading to find a seat. He selected an empty spot next to Char, hoping she wouldn't mind. "Hey Char," he said with a smile.
"Morning, Oliver," he said with a smile and a nod, watching as the young man went and sat next to Charlotte. So many wonderful students in his class today! His nerves were starting to turn to excitement now!

Care of Magical Creatures wasn't exactly her favorite class, but she didn't dislike it either.
She found the hay bales a bit much, but it was too much effort to form any sort of concrete opinion about them. Offering the professor a smile and a wave, she made her way towards one of the hay bales off to the side (away from people) and sat down. Her fatigue had really gotten the best of her, because if she was more alert she would've definitely noticed her friends (and other acquaintances that she tolerated in an attempt to keep up appearances) and greeted them properly. But, unfortunately, she was too tired to care.
A quiet...sleepy one. He understood. It was early.
Hopefully the lesson would perk her up. He smiled and nodded at her anyway.

It took Tristan's everything not to snort at Rooney's corny line. Though he was pretty sure the Head Boy meant it. He heard about their great romance from the other professor's. He Smiled and waved back, giving the young man a thumbs up. Way to keep the romance alive!

Another quiet one, which again was ok, but he did make sure to greet everyone as the entered it was only polite to give him the same courtesy. He smiled and nodded, nonetheless.

This one didn't even attempt a smile, and was staring at his mug sadly. This caused Tristan to raise his right eyebrow at the young woman, as he took a sip of his tea. He really needed to finish it before class started.

Finally, someone who was talking to him! "Morning, Henry!" Tristan gave the boy a smile and a wave, watching as he took a seat next to Charlotte and Oliver.

He wasn't sure if the professor remembered his name or not, but none of the other kids had said their names, so Brent didn't either.
Tristan had just taken a rather large gulp of his tea when the young man had greeted him, so he quickly swallowed, coughing a little. "Morning, Brent." He said with a smile.

"Morning, Declan!" He said and watched as the young man wedged himself between Thea and Bentley. That was a big brother move if he ever saw one. Way to be a good, protective brother! We approve!

"Looks comfy, Sir," she commented, as she ventured past it towards the much less impressive student versions.
"That it is Sam, though slightly itchy." Tristan said with a chuckle and watched as she took a seat. He wasn't expecting to many more students to show up. He was going to have to start class soon.

This one just right out didn't even acknowledge him. Alright then, Katy. He smiled and nodded at her anyway. Hopefully she would participate in the class.

One day when he was Lord Blaze he'd have his thrown and it would be bigger than that one.
Giving a nod to the professor he headed for an empty seat.
At least he got some kind of acknowledgment from Edward. He nodded back to the young man, with a smile on his face.

There was no readily available clue or notice as to what the topic of the day was so the girl settled for trying to keep her curiosity at bay. They’d find out soon enough, she was sure of that.
"Morning, Cassandra." He said, then looked down at his watch. He noticed a couple more stragglers heading this way. They had a couple minutes before he was going to start.

"Hello, Samantha." He said with a small nod, noting the sadness on the girls face. He hoped she was ok.

No greeting and immediately starts talking about the class to other students like he had missed something. Class hadn't even started yet. He smiled at Oliver, shaking his head.

"Hello, Emmeline. You are just in time." He said with a grin and a wink.
As the last student took her seat, Tristan stood up. It was time to start the lesson! With a flick of his wand, his hay throne dismantled and neatly stacked itself against the outside of the barn wall.
"Good morning, and welcome to today's Care of Magical Creatures lesson!" He paused, and took a breath. "There are many magical creatures that deal with fire in their own unique ways. For example, dragons breathe fire, Ashwinders are born from fire, Fire Crabs shoot flames from their shells." He paused, "But today we aren't going to be working with any of those. Today we will be working with an animal far more majestic, and uses fire in a more unique way." With that, he paused again and whistled a very lovely tune. A few moments later, a beautiful Phoenix flew over the roof of the barn, and soon landed on the professor's outstretched arm. The bird then nudged his cheek in a demanding way. Smiling, Tristan gave him a treat.
"This is my Phoenix, Ash. I have had him for quiet some time, and if you have ever come to visit me at my hut or the barn I am sure you have already seen him flying around." He smiled, and rubbed the sweet bird on the neck. "Now that we have him here, maybe you can answer me this question. What magical abilities do Phoenixes posses?" After he asked the question, Ash started to sing one of his beautiful melodies. It immediately calmed Tristan down. Apparently, he was more nervous than he realized.
OOC: Thanks for coming yall! Class has officially started so please keep the chatter to a minimum, if you haven't posted your charrie in here and want to, please feel free to jump right in and pretend as though they've been here the entire time. Please remember that if you show up late there will be IC consequences.
I will be moving the class along again in roughly 22-24 hours.

Did she prefer Char or Charlotte? The question got a smile from the Gryffindor girl.
"I don't mind, it depends on how much you have to say and how much time you have, you know? Char saves time. You could call me Sharky if you WANT though, sir! Thats my other nickname."
She waved at Dora and might have moved when she was joined in there next moment by Olly and Henry. Both of whom she was super happy to sit with, obviously. Both of whom got big smiles from her, but she didn't get a chance to say much.
Because then class was starting and they were treated to a phoenix, up close and personal! Charlotte leaned forward and drank in the sight of the beautiful bird. When the question came her hand went up.
"Professor, Phoenixes get reborn! Oh there was TONS more to say about them too, but one answer was plenty and honestly that was the most interesting thing about them in her mind so there it was.

What abilities do they possesss?? Uuuh,....Jonas had to think. Aha!
"Their tears have healing powers," Jonas said. "And unlike unicorn blood, the tears heal with out consequence.
Emmeline smiled at Professor Wayland as he told her she was just in time; it was weird for her to not be at the barn already, so she had slightly underestimated the amount of time it took to get out here from the castle.
However, soon Ash the phoenix had her undivided attention; he was beautiful! She liked him even better than the fwoopers.
Having practically swallowed Newt Scamander's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them while growing up, she knew at least a bit about phoenixes. Her nanny often said they would run out of Spellotape trying to keep that book's binding on, and her brand new copy from Flourish and Blotts was one of her most treasured possessions.
"Phoenixes can carry REALLY heavy loads," she chirped back at the professor with her hand in the air. She glanced at Derf next to her with a BIG grin on her face. This was SO COOL!

Fire? What fiery creatures would they be working with? Fire crabs? Dragons? Oh! Phoenixes! The Professor even had a phoenix! A PHOENIX! This was the best care of magical creatures lesson ever! Was Derf seeing this? Phoenixes were amazing creatures. Isa had never seen one up close before. Did she know about phoenixes? Of course she knew some things about phoenixes! "Phoenixes are immune to the gaze of a basilisk." They didn't die or get petrified when a basilisk looked at them. How did that work? Seemed like a useful protection system. Did phoenixes often encounter basilisks? Were they immune to other things too?
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
If the Professor had noticed the way he had whispered or rolled his eyes, Mason did not care. It was all a matter of opinion and he didn't hurt anyone if he thought the throne was a bit pretentious just like how Dora had said.
While he waited for class to begin, the seventh year looked around at the other students when his eyes met Derf's. What was he staring about? Wait, did he expect him to hug Dora?! Because the kid had been going on about it at the library. No kid, he was not going to hug her, let it go.
Once class started, Mason looked at the front where the professor was seated and even he couldn't keep his face annoyed at the throne. The phoenix was simply stunning. He had read about them and knew they were extremely hard to domesticate. So when he saw the bird, the way he looked at the professor was completely different because THAT was cool. Not the pretentious hay throne.
"When a phoenix sings they give courage to the good at heart but evil will feel fear" he said after he had raised his hand but he wasn't looking at the professor but at Ash.

She hadn’t missed the fact that the only other person who had commented on Professor Wayland’s cup was Derf. But then, Stasya wouldn’t have expected anything else, considering she knew about his creature love. It was partly how she’d ended up with Dobby after all, at least considering that he’d suggested she rescue a creature instead of wait for someone to buy her one. Even if she’d bought her mama a kitten. That didn’t count. Plus, they’d been right too. It was a phoenix on the cup, although if she’d thought about it, it could’ve been a Thunderbird too. Except there weren’t enough wings for that, but it wasn’t a big picture.
She’d given Liv a big nod in response to the older girl’s question about a tea party, too. Of course she wanted to go to a tea party, especially when she knew by now that it wouldn’t be any normal sort of tea party. Not with Liv involved. But first, there was the lesson to pay attention to.
Her eyes lit up as the professor summoned Ash from the barn, knowing the phoenix quite well even if she’d normally just watched him from a distance with Dobby on her shoulder. “Phoenixes live for a really long time because, like Char said, they’re reborn from the ashes of their own fires. And also, it’s reallyhard to domesticate one,” she said, raising her hand even as the words had spilled out. The last part of it made it all the more impressive that the professor had one, after all.
