Default CoMC Lesson 1: The Cockatrice

Care of Magical Creatures Lesson 1: The Cockatrice


As you make your way down to the usual area where your Creatures class is held, you'll start to notice a large row of hedges running around the usual classroom space. In fact, the hedges are so high that you can't see where the classroom area used to be fenced in. Where does it start? Where does it end? Heck, you can't even see the edge of the Forbidden Forest behind these hedgerows, which have to be at least eight, nine, maybe ten feet tall.

You can see Professor (and Groundskeeper) Williamson, however, who is standing in front of the entrance to the hedge maze. Yes, it's a maze, and yes, there's a creature inside. "Come on, don't dwadle now," he says and beckons you to join him beside the entrance to the maze. There are a few wooden shipping crates beside him and every so often, the hedges give a bushy little shake like something inside the maze is eager to get out.

But don't worry. You trust Williamson to make sure nothing happens to you, right?


Class Progression:
  • Q1. What do you already know about hybrid creatures? What makes a magical creature 'hybrid'? How/why could these creatures be considered more dangerous than a regular creature?
  • Q2. Today you'll be facing a creature that does have a history with the Triwizard Tournament. What can you tell me about the cockatrice, and how do you survive one?
  • Mini-Activity. Suit up to go into the maze. There's padding and helmets, sunglasses, broken mirrors, and weasels on leashes for you to use. Good luck.
  • Main Activity. Into the maze! Don't RP for the jarveys or cockatrice(s). Just try to get to the end of the maze!

Just so you know, it's not too late to jump in! This lesson will close at/around 11:59 PM EST on 13 January 2021!

This sudden running off thing Kizzy was trying to do?? UM. No. Phoebe was already hurt. They couldn't unhurt her by GETTING HURT THEMSELVES.

Pluck that mess someone else.

Quick as Kizzy let her go--they shared a brain, she KNEW what was coming next--Emmerson tackled Kizzy right to the ground, putting all her weight and everything she had in her into it. "Kizzy! No! We don't all three need to be toothless!!" Even now, she included herself, because if Kizzy was going to fight, she was going to fight. The only solution was to make sure Kizzy didn't fight AT ALL. "No, stop! We can't fix it, we don't have to die today!"

She wrestled with all her might to keep her friend there, too. Spells would've been easier but she was as likely to set the girl on fire as she was to successfully stupefy her.

Please just stop best friend. PLEASE.

O______O

Man down.

Kizzy tried to put up a fight, this was her BIG SISTER they were talking about. But just as quickly as she had started to run off, she found herself giving into Emm's words. That and Emmerson Cambridge really knew what she was doing here. So after only a brief attempt to resist and wiggle herself out of Emm's hold, Kizzy let her arms fall to the ground.

There were MASSIVE tears in her eyes though. Big, crocodile tears. And a (silent) wibbly lip.

WHOA Okay!!

NO! No thanks. Moose was too close for comfort with Emmerson tackling Kinsay to the ground to stop her from rushing toward her sister, Phoebe. Also hey uh...maybe less violence over here near him where the hooded jerks won't look over this way. Moose would rather they didn't get a glimpse of one of their branded LIARS.

He knelt down toward them both. "Standup standup standupstandup." He whispered harshly through gritted teeth. A bit of self-preservation. but some actual worry for them both mixed into his tone of voice. Crying was for later.

Then he knelt back up and took a couple steps away from them to seem like he wasn't speaking to them at all.

While there was some amusement at first because of what they were studying..since well part of the name was funny. Now it completely vanished from whats happened with Kinsey's sister.

O__O

that.....that's...oh merlin. Amabel just watched in horror as everything went insane and her eyes went to Kinsay's sister and then to Kinsay, Moose, and Emm.

Please don't do make it worse.

Default Phoebe ;__;
A Poop * k8 *

Aboli was too busy being acutely aware of the hooded figure next to her to really pay attention to Phoebe James, a younger student she had neutral feelings toward. As she heard the bangs of spells, her head turned in her direction to see....what had happened.

She felt disgusted.

Would anyone KNOW this? No. Aboli merely swallowed and squinted at Phoebe, who she thought was smarter than to mess with these people. Color her disappointed. These damn children... she thought to herself, before coldly turning back towards W. Who...should probably ignore the incident, and Aboli thought it was truly horrible he had to. But he HAD to. Or this squad would...you know, do something even worse to him. This was the difference between Aboli and some of her classmates, she thought. She would blame no one for any cold and icy ignoring behavior from this point forward. They all had to survive.

She only hoped Noah, next to her, would refrain from reacting.

So her answer wasn’t exactly right, but the professor was nice enough to let her down easily. Thanks for that. When Camryn saw the scary hooded people, she was not exactly feeling comfortable. She tried to focus on what the professor was saying, but it was hard. They were incredibly distracting.

Soon there was another question being posed. Cam had done her reading, but she didn’t know much about a cockatrice and what she did know had already been shared. She thought about keeping quiet, but then she thought of one fun fact that she could contribute. She was just about to raise her hand when.......those mean men hurt one of the students. Camryn’s eyes got big and she gasped when the girl’s teeth were suddenly gone. Her hand froze and was slowly lowered to her side. She didn’t know what to do. They were hurting people for no good reason. She was done. She just wanted to go home. She had to get away from this awful place.

Phoebe felt like she'd been kicked in the chest. Her hands ached. And her mouth felt raw and bloody, like after a tough boxing match. She huddled on the ground for a few long moments, just trying to figure out what hurt and how badly. Not badly enough to stay down for long, not with her Gryffindor pride at risk. And not with Coby and Kizzy doing things that would draw negative attention to them.

Phoebe let herself lean on Yoyo as she stood up, smiling a horrifying, bloody smile as she blinked back tears. No crying. No asking to leave. Those jerks in hoods could just... well, no, she didn't want any more attention from them. Sassing professors for laughs was so very different than sassing murderous goons.

"D-do you think my teeth will grow back?" she whispered to Yoyo as she buried her broken fingers in her robes. She tried not to notice Kizzy and Emm rolling around on the ground, although she was mentally begging them to get upgetupgetupgetup.

Default rearranged slightly and Peeves made me post this in this way *grunts*
Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB

Text Cut: Uh, most replies go here
Kale’s repeating of the creature’s name didn’t go unnoticed, but Williamson wasn’t about to call more attention to it. Immature boys would be immature. Though to be honest, he was much worse than that in his Hogwarts days. He looked to the next answer instead.

“1792, yes,” Williamson nodded at Claudine. “Actually, it looks more like a skinny dragon,” he replied to Cecelia, “but it does have the head of a rooster.” So points for her there.

Merlin’s beard, Tanc was this kid’s GRANDPA?! Williamson ran a hand through his salt-and-pepper hair. “I worked with him at the Ministry,” was his short answer. And… well, no, was his initial thought to the Apollo’s answer. One would think Tanc would have taught his kids and grandkids more about creatures, huh. “Cockatrices are a bit too dangerous to bother harnessing.” For the record, he did not recommend that anyone try it.

No answer from the first year again? Well, Quinn would come to find out that not answering wouldn’t serve him well in certain classes… luckily, Care of Magical Creatures wasn’t one of those classes.

“Supposed to be,” he agreed with Violet. But what if there were no mirrors around??? What then?

He nodded to Mamie, suppressing a little smile as she illustrated the feathers on a rooster’s head. “It does, yes. This is a good clue!” SEE! Were the lurkers writing THIS down? Mundane (non-magical) knowledge had a place here too!

He took a small breath at Ashley’s answers and additional questions. “Well, we’ll get into that in a minute, but weasels, and thus jarveys, are immune to the cockatrice.” So that was a hint for her there. He looked to the next student, the strangely named Moose…? But he had no answer? Alright. Onto his classmate, Aboli.

“Something like that,” he nodded to the Slytherin seventh year. He wouldn’t even get into the basilisk thing, because the differences (in hatching, at least) were so slight. But then Ivy was bringing it up, and Delilah's answer made her sound confused, so he thought he would clarify. "As you'll see shortly, a cockatrice looks VERY different from a basilisk, though both have strange incubation periods..... It is an awkward hybrid, whereas a basilisk is a more straightforward serpent." He'd leave it at that, because to be frank, he didn't want these observers in their lesson listening in and taking notes on how, exactly, they could create new monsters besides themselves.

He had to try hard not to smile at Kinsay James. “I did know that, BUT, I don't think this is possible for a cockatrice." He shook his head. "They're too closely related to dragons to regrow their tails."

Williamson nodded to Valencia and Noah for their straightforward answers. "Yes. I have a tool for you to avoid direct eye contact." He was so proud of himself for remembering them, too.

And speaking of tools for the job... Williamson was struck by a sudden moment of panic at Tadhg's answer. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no no no. "The mirrors...." he murmured, looking at one of the crates. Surely when they went through the dorms last night, they hadn't ALSO gone through the barns and pastures.... "That's... that's correct, a mirror WOULD be helpful..."

He shook himself to focus on Minjae's question. "Yes," he answered shortly, staring at the Hufflepuff as though HE were the cockatrice. "They're already here so we may as well learn." He shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "And Scamander's book is just an entry-level text. It hasn't been updated in ages. There are plenty of creatures still waiting to be discovered and edited into that book."

"Very good," kudos to you, Flamsteed. "Though I would say its hindquarters are more dragon-like than reptilian." And that was why he had a small affinity for them. He confirmed Valentina's answer with another nod.

Ah, Bella was repeating her classmate, didn't she know? "Yes, Claudine said that," he pointed out gently. "The cockatrice also appeared in a more recent Triwizard Tournament, but I don't think... elements will have much of an effect on a full-grown cockatrice." He paused for a moment to allow that to sink in. "However, you will not see a fully-grown one today."

His mouth fell open slightly at Gemma's answer. "Your mum can talk to rooster-dragon hybrids?" Why did she think her mum was a cockatrice whisperer? But yes, they were dangerous, which he wished these kids would consider before doing anything irrational...

"They are technically different species," WWW replied to Avalon. Surely he'd clarified that enough now, right? He flicked his wand at the board so an image of a cockatrice would appear. Once they saw one, he was sure no one would continue to mistake the two. "Good answer. Nice thinking." Finally, some people were talking about defense.

He almost chuckled at Dahlia's answer but remembered the lurkers observing him, and turned that chuckle into a grunt. "Yes, you could do that, but why would you waste such a precious egg?" He shook his head. "Instead you should contact the Ministry of Magic to allow their specialists to take care of it for you." And then they could give it to him, and he could hatch it for them. He'd be HONORED.

...well yes, Nem, but didn't that go without saying? Still, SOME Slytherins appreciated the wilder side of, uh, wildlife. Still, the trap thing was smart, if not a bit long-winded. The important information Nem had dropped was almost added as an afterthought. "The best idea, in that speech," he nodded in appreciation, "was the bit about weasels." And not just because SOME people thought part of his name involved weasels. "Weasels and jarveys are immune to the cockatrice's eyes, so one COULD be a useful guide. Rooster crows can also kill it, so taking one of these mundane creatures into the maze with you may be easier than trying to trap and cage a cockatrice."

Just saying.

He heaved a big sigh, one reserved just for Emmerson Cambridge. "Well, good thing you're going IN, and it's not coming OUT, right?" He really, genuinely was convinced that one of his crates of pre-ordered protective gear was suddenly going to be empty, or worse, containing shards of broken mirrors now.

Great. Just great. Could this school year BE any worse?

Actually, yes, it could....

"You don't have to take notes. It's all in the text. This is a practical course, not theoretical. You'll catch up eventually."

Another winning smile.

As for this cockatrice (heard that giggle, Kale Trent), Phoebe had done very limited reading on this particular creature. The dangerous ones were interesting but seemed less likely to show up on the syllabus... but here was a very dangerous one right off the bat. "If they resemble a rooster, are they the size of the average chicken, or just have the feathery round body of a rooster but BIGGER? Because a chicken-sized creature doesn't sound all that dangerous."

First, the proximity. Second, the tap. Then, the smile. Pureblood or not, she was adding nothing to the learning of the other children.

An explosive series of spells burst out from the wand, forceful enough to knock the blonde Gryffindor back more than a few paces from this hooded person. The index fingers on either of her hands were now crookedly bent at abnormal angles. And as for her mouth? Her smile would henceforth contain more gaps than teeth, as her mouth was now mostly gums and bloody stumps.

This ill-bred behavior WOULD end today... or tomorrow after a referral to the Headmaster's office.

Why, Phoebe, WHYYYYYYYYY did you have to go and provoke them? William let out a groan at the same time Coby screamed, his right hand hitting his forehead while his left flicked his wand out. He was angry now, just absolutely seeing red, and before he knew it, a dragon patronus flew out of his wand and flew straight toward the hooded figure that had cast those spells on Phoebe. The patronus seemed to push the figure back into the hedges, and then the dragon took off toward the castle.

Trying to play it cool and failing miserably, William rushed forward to check on his student. Thank Merlin Yoyo was there. To his knowledge, she wouldn't be punished just for being a helper... would she? "I summoned Recard," he grunted under his breath to the two of them. He whipped a faded white hankerchief out of his back pocket and offered it to Phoebe. The sight of her broken fingers was greatly disturbing him, almost more than her mouth, but he had no idea, no clue how to begin fixing those injuries. "Listen. Don't panic. Don't do anything else," he continued talking to the Gryffindor very, very quietly, his brown eyes locked on her frightened ones. "We'll get you fixed right up, Phoebe, okay?" OKAY? He had to. He'd JUST SAID he wasn't going to let anyone get hurt on his watch, and then... THIS.... Williamson could barely contain his anger as he turned back to the class.

"Class WILL go on," he announced to the rest of them, GLARING at the hooded figure still lurking in the midst of the students. "Cambridge, get off the ground. Everyone needs to arm themselvs. We're going into the maze." He flicked his wand at the three crates and one of the sides of each fell open to reveal its contents. The first crate contained padding and helmets, similar to what a Quidditch keeper might wear. The middle crate contained a large shipment of dark sunglasses with frames in various colors... and, as feared, a bunch of broken mirrors. Mostly just pieces, to be honest.

The final crate, which Moose had tried to sit on, contained a bunch of mundane weasels on leashes. "The few school jarveys we have are already in the maze, so you'll likely encounter them when we get going," he called out. "Grab a weasel, though. They can be your guide as well. There should be enough that everyone, or every pair, if you choose, can have a weasel OR a jarvey."

He grunted and with one last look at James, made his way toward the other hooded person. "YOUR LEADER said education must go on. You SAID nothing would happen to the kids if we complied." He was so infuriated that the knuckles on his wand hand were turning white from his harsh grip. "No more of this. Please."



OOC: HOKAI. So this has gotten crazy. Uh. We'll give it two days or so to have your character suit up in padding, mirrors, weasels, etc. Of course, they're welcome to use their wizarding skills to enhance their defensive outfits. Think outside the box. And we'll be going into the maze in small groups starting on/around Saturday? Feel free to RP for your own weasel. They're pretty terrified of all the noises they've been hearing all lesson, so....

Violet usually didn't rush into danger, but today she was one of the first to move forward to the boxes. Today she would rather face a cockatrice in a maze than stay out here with these thugs. She grabbed a helmet and set of padding that looked like it would fit, and then went to the second crate and chose a pair of dark wrap-around sunglasses, so dark they were almost like mirrors--Violet hoped they would work like one. And, even though they were broken, she gingerly picked up the largest piece of broken mirror she could see and put it in her pocket. Might not work now it's broken, but then again, you never knew. At least the jagged edge might be useful as a weapon--and not necessarily against a cockatrice.

Finally Violet moved over to the third crate, to give the students behind her room, and looked inside--weasels, of all colors and sizes, looked back at her. And they were on leashes, like a dog or something! She hadn't known weasels even wore leashes. She stared back at them for a few minutes, and then one reddish-brown weasel hesitantly came towards her. "You want to come with me, then? Come on up, then," she said softly to it, and with both hands gently lifted it out of the crate and set it on the ground, clutching the end of the leash in one hand.

She moved aside to on her gear and then wished she had done that before she had gotten the weasel. She tried to step on the end of the leash as she awkwardly pulled on the padding, but luckily the weasel just crouched there quietly, making no move to run away. Once she was suited up, Violet's first impulse was to push forward into the maze, out of the watchful gaze of the Inquisitors, but it occurred to her that it might be better to go with someone else, so she looked over her shoulder to see who else was nearly ready.

So the reason Curtis remained quiet after his last answer? The sight of someone losing their teeth and being partially disfigured. How humiliating... to be triggered by a student. He smirked at the sight of Phoebe smiling in the pain, she looked a little goofy with all the blood dripping and disfigured fingers. "Cool.." He was impressed. Smiling through the pain. He will have to compliment her after when, you know, she looks decent again. And boy oh boy did Professor Triple W step in. He liked this man now. He really wanted to laugh at how that hooded figure got sent into the hedges. But appearances were necessary.

But Curtis couldn't stay looking too pleased so he picked up a helmet and padding. Putting them on took a moment, since he never played Quidditch in school he had to learn to fasten it tight enough to stay but not constrict his breathing or movements. Next, he picked up a pair of black sunglasses to don over his head temporarily before picking up a mirror piece. These could be used as a projectile weapon if needed as well.. He didn't know what else may lurk in the hedges. So with that, he attempted a duplicate charm on it so he could have some more pieces.

Now was a weasel, "There, there.." Curtis gently spoke before bending down to scoop one up from the crate. He could hear his dad in his head telling him that he looks just like Papa when holding a creature... He shook his head trying not to think about his parents now. "You will need a name.. I know, I'll call you Toby. He's my brother, very cool, and always helps me in a bind." He shared this privately with the furry companion. It looked back at him not objecting to any of this. He was all set...

Post Uh truthfully Quinn's gonna need major help with this one ;..
The Gay Agenda™< >Homiesexual uwu

Scared was not a strong enough word to express what Quinn was feeling. Terrified was getting there. Going into a maze with an XXXXX rated creature with nothing but a weasel and a piece of a mirror for protection? No. Nope, nope, nope. And after the event that Quinn just witnessed, his cage was already beyond rattled. Nothing about this term could just be easy, could it?

Quinn slipped on some of the padding, a helmet, and took a pair of pink sunglasses. He thought his favorite color might help to calm him. It didn't. At least nobody could see the fear in his eyes, though his shaky knees might give that away. He moved over to the box with the mirror pieces and carefully picked one out so as to not cut his hand. It was a sizable piece that could fit in the palm of his hand. He slipped it in his pocket for the time being, then went to the weasels.

Now this he could get on board with. Little fuzzy noodles on leashes? Yes, please. Quinn reached in and picked out a weasel, cradling it in his arms and petting it. It sniffed up at his face, and Quinn smiled. This time, he did feel a small reprieve from the anxiety of going into the maze.

Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!

So this creature could kill you with its eyes...it could only be killed by a weasel or a mirror...and all their mirrors were broken? She stared at Professor Williamson. Why were they going into the maze again? Hogwarts had a cockatrice problem they were going to solve? This seemed a bit out of her comfort zone...she preferred the safe animals. Nifflers, nifflers were cool.

It took Mamie a moment to get moving, first to the padding crate, where she grabbed a helmet and shoulder pads. Then to the sunglasses, where she opted for a lime green pair of sunglasses. She supposed if they looked at the cockatrice through the sunglasses they'd be fine? She wasn't sure how that would work. What if they accidentally saw it out the side of the sunglasses? She gingerly lifted a piece of mirror out of the crate and tried to hook it into her padding...but it didn't feel very secure, so into a pocket it went.

Now for the weasels! Mamie cooed at the box of weasels as she approached. "Hi there," she said softly, trying to calm them down so she could pick one up. "You're fiiine, I won't let anything happen to you." She hoisted a reddish one out of the crate, carried it back to her spot, and set it back on the ground, holding the leash. It seemed a little nervous, so she squatted next to it and stroked its head gently. She could feel the edge of the mirror in her pocket poking into her, so she shifted her weight slightly. "Don't worry, little weasel," she said softly. She kind of wished someone would reassure her, then maybe the weasel would find her a bit more believable.

She looked up at her new acquaintance Quinn. "Want to team up?"

The two remaining hooded figures closed in on the professor with synchronized movements. Both were armed with their wands (one aspen and dragon heartstring, 14 inches, the other blackthorne and clabbert tooth, 13 1/2 inches).

Easily towering over the man, the two figures extended their long arms to point the tips of their wands over him. Then the larger of the two stepped forward, wordlessly warning him by placing its wand at his throat. There it hovered as if testing him to step out of line.

This behavior was unacceptable. The children would learn one way or another.

Without acknowledging his pathetic plea, they both turned and followed the children into the maze.

They would be watching.

Quinn looked down at Mamie and nodded. He was going to need someone who wasn't a nervous wreck with him if he was going to be any good during this lesson. Plus, he felt kinda bad about backpedaling away from her after they had just met. "Uh, yes, I think that'll be fine." Quinn looked back at his weasel, giving it a few more pets. It seemed like it was ready for a nap, honestly. Was that alright? Since they were about to face a cockatrice and everything? "I hope I won't disappoint..." he mumbled, mostly to himself.

With the members of the Inquisitorial Squad now in the maze, Quinn's anxiety skyrocketed. It was bad enough having to deal with a big scary hybrid, but now he had them to worry about, too? This day truly couldn't get any worse.

Two things.

First. Did everyone see that patronus? The fact that it was a DRAGON? Because that was pretty stellar and you really had to give some props to Professor Williamson for that one. Atlas hoped that his own patronus would be a shark but...the way this term was going it seemed very unlikely he would ever have the means of producing one.

Second. DID EVERYONE SEE WHAT THESE WANNA BE DEMENTORS HAD JUST DONE TO HIS FUTURE GIRLFRIEND SELECTED PERSON OF INTEREST FOR A SOUL CRUSHING UNREQUITED CRUSH?!

The answer to both of these was, in all likelihood, that of course everyone had seen...and Atlas wanted to rush to the older Gryffindor's side but it looked as though she had plenty of options already and...well...Atlas would have been pretty worthless in the situation. Save for telling her that she was still really really pretty even without any teeth and dentures were always an option if worst came to worst.


He wanted to glare. He wanted to throw hands. But his promise to keep himself alive and not red shirt kept him in place. At did Professor Williamson shouting that class would continue. He wasn't sure how he would focus but...he would try.

...trying was not working so well when he saw the figures holding one of Atlas' safe spaces at literal wand point though.

Literally tripping over one of the crates and falling IN to it, Atlas climbed out as quickly as possible so as not to hold any one up while also retrieving for himself one of the keeper helmets and shoving it on top of his head. The sunglasses were next, in a smashing lime green color, which were too big for his face and he kept pushing them up the bridge of his nose while waffling around towards the next crate and retrieving a mirror shard for himself.

He...for sure wanted a partner for this...and naturally his instincts were to look for his brother but since both of them knew no real spells yet...that was a recipe for disaster. As was his wish to work with Quinn, and there was a bit of a longing glance towards the Ravenclaw as he paired with a slightly older Hufflepuff. But the Gryffindor knew he couldn't really help or protect his new friend like he was.

SO.

He needed to find an older student to pair with. And his forget-me-not blues fell on an older Slytherin girl [kayquilz!] who was looking particularly stoic and steady and therefore CLEARLY knew what she was doing. And so...the first year approached her and timidly tugged on her robes. "...um...excuse me...would you please partner with me?" He didn't want to look like he was begging but...well...if the shoe fit.

PHOEBE!

Her teeth. Her beautiful teeth. And her hands. She was hurt. They’d hurt her. They hurt FEEBS! Cece felt faint seeing the damage, and she’d seen bludgers to the face type damage, but this felt different. This was Feebs. Her Feebs. She wanted to scream. But she didn’t. She didn’t move or scream or speak. She just stared, hands balled into fists. Thank Merlin for Yoyo because she was useless right now.

...And now she was expected to do an activity? Knowing Phoebe was hurt. Seeing the dark dummies threatening Williamson like that? HOW?

She just stood fixed to the spot for a moment, trying to shake off the shock, but like, this was hard.

A very faint smile and a barely noticeable nod of her head was aimed at Professor Williamson. Her answer had been just that, an answer. It was not something she would have tried had she ever found herself with a cockatrice egg. Her own curiosity would have her hatching that egg herself or giving it to someone that she knew could. Like the Professor himself or her big sister Hady.

As much would've been said but.. in the blink of an eye an older girl whose name she only found out when it was shouted, Phoebe, was toothless... and her fingers, broken. Those cruel men had hurt her. She wanted to help but knew it wasn't a good idea. Not with those men still there and others causing a well deserved commotion. This was bad. Dahlia felt tears build up in her eyes, not for the first time this term.

Chewing at her lip she tried hard to focus on Williamson and what they needed to be doing. They would be going into the hedge maze. Dear Merlin they were going inside. Her heart was racing in her chest and the small Ravenclaw wasn't sure if it was fear or excitement. Thoughts were racing around her head and for several long seconds she remained where she was. It wasn't until she was alone at her spot that she finally moved towards the first crate and pulled out the protective gear and a helmet. This took her a few moments to get everything on properly and fitted as it should be, testing that nothing was loose at all.

Moving onto the next crate she grabbed a pair of sunglasses that were tinted a dark pink and put those on too. With a soft sniffle she picked up a bit of broken glass mirror and tucked it safely into the pocket of her robes.

Slowly she moved onto the last crate. Without hesitation she carefully scooped up a reddish-brown weasel and cradled it in the crook of her arm, up against her chest. "Shhh, it's going to be alright. You're okay," she murmured in a soft quiet tone. Gently she pet the creature that was tucked up tightly against her, shaky in fear. Poor little thing!

Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede!

Bella watched how one of the Gryffindor girls got attacked by the hooded figures. The pain was clear. She really felt for the elder student, but since she was already taken care of by another student and Professor W it was best to do as instructed and keep a low profile. Stepping up to the first crate Bella suited herself up in protective padding from head to toe which very much resembled quidditch gear. In the next crate Bella chose a mirror shard that she pushed down in her left robe pocket and also a pair of pink coloured sunglasses that she slid on over her eyes on test. The pink outlook on the world was cool.

In the last crate Bella studied the weasels before she chose to pick one up. Cradling it against her chest she whispered to it for a moment. "I shall name you Pearl." Now she needed to find a partner. Looking around at the others who were suiting up Bella wanted a senior student for a partner. She was a first year and her knowledge of spells was limited so she quickly made her way over to the boy she had chosen to ask before anyone else snagged him. "Hi Curtis, can we be partners?"

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Ash was horrified as somebody got BEAT UP WITH MAGIC. "Insane," she said quietly, almost inaudibly, as she turned to get on her gear. She put on the armor and some dark blue sunglasses. She picked up a weasel and tried to sooth it. "Shhhh, it's okay. You're the safest one of all of us. I think I'll call you 'self-preservation'. It works, because you could save my life today." She grabbed the biggest fragment of mirror she could find. Taking deep breaths, she looked around for a partner. Was Ash the only one who thought this was a death trap?

Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN

Kale felt a roar get lodged in his throat as Pheebs was unfairly and brutally attacked. He wanted to do something. Throw a shoe. Anything! But before he could take a really dumb step forward, he remembered what his Dad used to say about thinking before taking action. And when he stopped to think, even as the dread and horror set in, he knew acting out here, now, would only make things worse.

Worse for him, he knew he could manage.

Worse for Phoebe sounded unbearable.

AND THEN EVERYTHING GOT A MILLION TIMES WORSE. SO MUCH WORSE!! AND HE WAS EXPECTED TO JUST CARRY ON?!? WHAT IN THE COCKATRICE????

Kale was wordlessly did as he was told and looked for a partner. But he couldn't stop glancing back at Phoebe. Anger was a funny thing, bro.

With her newest friend cradled in her arms, Dahlia glanced around once again. Now what were they supposed to do? Were they on their on once they went inside the hedge maze? No, no that didn't seem right. Williamson wouldn't expect a first year that didn't know many spells yet to take on a Cockatrice all alone, did he?

Chewing at her bottom lip, she watched as a few others started to pair off into groups. Slowly she took in each classmate to see who was alone. Before she could even think about what she was doing, her small feet had her wander over to stand before the older boy with the really nice hair. "Hi, I'm Dahlia and this is.. uhhh... well I haven't come up with a name for him yet... " she wrinkled her nose up a little bit, giving a small nod at the weasel in her arms she had mentioned.

"Would it be okay if I tagged along with you? We don't have to actually be partners or anything if you don't want to... I just don't want to be by myself in there..." Great she was rambling like a little child. Way to prove yourself there, Lia. She was gonna shut up now before she said something really silly.

Delilah froze in place just in time to see one of the figures draw a wand on Phoebe. She squeezed her eyes shut, but she could still hear the sounds of whatever damage was going on. When she opened her eyes, Phoebe was huddled on the ground. OH, MERLIN. Was she okay?! She didn't look okay. Delilah didn't know what to do other than panic, but at least the professor looked like he was getting her some help.

She didn't know how anybody could just carry on with the lesson after that, but apparently they were going to try. She headed over to the creates and suited up in all the gear they'd been provided with. She had never in all her eleven years thought to put a weasel on a leash, but there they were, and they were kind of cute, too. She felt bad, though, for thinking about cute animals when Phoebe was laid out in pain.

Delilah grabbed a weasel and turned toward the maze. GREAT. The hooded figures were coming along. Maybe they'd get lost inside and never ever return. "So does anyone want to partner up?" she asked. And no, not you hooded figures.

He didn't want to look like he was begging but...well...if the shoe fit.


Aboli listened to Professor W carefully before starting toward the first crate to grab some protective gear when she felt a tug tug tug on her robes. She turned, her face still very hard, when her own blue eyes, only darker, met his much lighter ones. Her features softened. "Of course. Aries...Atlas??? right?" she asked, brushing his hair from his forehead with her gloved hand. "I remember your sorting. Twins," she smiled gently at him before pointing to the crates. "We need to gear up with the keeper gear...get some mirrors, but be careful because they're broken shards. Don't cut yourself." She took his hand and pat it softly. "Then we'll get us a pair of cool sunglasses, a weasel, and we'll be off. You want to control the weasel, and I'll have my wand?" she nudged him gently and tried to make it seem like having the weasel would be the COOOOOOL job.

She used to despise the younger years. Or maybe this new crew were less annoying because of the circumstances? Everything just felt so different, and Aboli couldn't explain this overwhelming urge to make sure they all were okay while also making sure SHE remained okay in order to make sure THEY stayed okay. She led him over to the first crate, grabbing two helmet things and the shoulder pads as well, passing the pair to Atlas!Aries first. "Hmm...what color sunglasses - oh snap they're all leaving - uh UH uh - " BLACK. Of course, duh. She quickly threw them onto her face, pushing them up her nose before grabbing the piece of mirror. Luckily she had her nifty gloves! Her worry for Atlas!Aries grew, though. "Please be careful with this, okay?" She passed him a piece. AND NOW THE WEASEL.

"Grab a weasel and let's goooOooo!" ONWARD. The old feeling of being excited and a little nervous for whatever Williams had in store had returned, and it almost felt normal for the seventh year. "Stay close, Flamsteed." There was the get around if she couldn't get his name right, ha!

With the members of the Inquisitorial Squad now in the maze, Quinn's anxiety skyrocketed. It was bad enough having to deal with a big scary hybrid, but now he had them to worry about, too? This day truly couldn't get any worse.
Fully convinced that she had bonded with the weasel and it would protect her--and vice versa--she stood back up, brushing real and imaginary dirt off her robes. She looked Quinn up and down, then pulled her mirror shard out of her pocket. She followed Quinn's gaze to see the Inquisitorial Squad go into the maze.

Yep. They were doomed.

Mamie didn't want to let this first year down, though. Surely they could do a little more to protect themselves. She donned her padding and sunglasses, feeling suddenly very cool with the sunglasses. She pulled her wand out and cast a softening charm on her padding. That would...that might help. "Do you know the cushioning or softening charm?" she asked her new friend softly. If not, she could help. Or try to help. It probably would not make this any more dangerous.

She eyed the mirror in her free hand...it would be nice if it had been a whole mirror. Her shard was kind of small... "Engorgio," she said, pointing her wand at the mirror and willing it to work on the fragment but not certain it would.

Default Looking for a partner. Moose is terrible with CoMC so yeh.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

with half the conversation and discussion having had been about this Cockatrice thing creature being. Moose expected that he had sat on a crate full of them or something and was genuinely grateful to Professor Williamson for then shoving him off it to no doubt save his life. After all the chaos that happened and once Moose felt he was a safe distance from Kinsay and Emmerson his jaw dropped as what came out of the crate were Weasels. SERIOUSLY!? Weasels...They weren't dangerous in the slightest. Moose could easily take on like..maybe twenty of them and win handily. Appreciation rescinded Professor Williamson though uh....please don't die. Seeing him with a wand to his throat only reminded him of Ashley's predicament during Defense Against the Dark Arts. They clearly asserted their dominance.

He hurried over to the first crate and started to pick out some of this Quidditch Gear. He knew this stuff. He'd seen the pictures in Matty's book about the Keepers, and read about them too obviously. Though he was still unsure why they would stick with leather and not wear harder material? Couldn't a bludger kill you if it hit you hard enough...ah no matter this was Quidditch, and any protection would do. So Moose strapped on the helmet as as well as the shin guards and arm guards, then finally the chest piece. The next piece of equipment. Those glasses. It didn't matter which one so long as they didn't slip off his face so he nabbed a pink pair and tucked the ear pieces under the earflaps of the helmet. So they fit snuggly.

He looked ridiculous, but at leas the helmet and the glasses hide the LIAR on his forehead just barely. So there was that.

Right, next was a Weasel. A harmless totally not dangerous weasel. Moose went to the crate he had previously planted his rear on and knelt down to the nearest weasel. "You'll do." He reached out and take it but the weasel had different ideas. As it bit this thumb! "Agh hey! Stupid Jerk!" He glared at he weasel.

I know, I'll call you Toby. He's my brother, very cool, and always helps me in a bind." He shared this privately with the furry companion. It looked back at him not objecting to any of this. He was all set...
Violet was getting a little desparate for a partner--she did NOT want to go into that maze alone, but she also didn't want to stay out here with the creepy intruders, either. She saw one of the seventh years, Curtis, looking like he was ready to go and called out to him, "Curtis? Go with me? Please?!"

As she moved closer to the older boy, trying to get her attention, she passed one of the first years struggling with his weasel. Poor kid, one of the older kids should help him. Oh, wait, I guess that's me, now.

"Not like that, you'll just scare or annoy him. You have to talk gently to him and reach for him slowly, so he knows you don't mean to hurt him." There had been too much hurting going on around here already, so Violet couldn't blame the weasels for being jumpy. "Look at my weasel, Jeremy, he's right at home now." And she looked fondly down at her mellow weasel. "Try again, but nicer this time. You can go with us, or me, I guess, when you get ready." And she looked over at Curtis again while the new kid got his weasel. She hoped the older boy didn't mind going with them, she wasn't sure she was ready to be the kid in charge yet.
