| | 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! |

Gabriel Hawthorne-Melo #47316F Law Enforcement | Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE! Bad words? Voting? It probably helped that they had hit a dead end, but it also helped that Quinn just ran off, and then Ashley, and then Mamie obviously had to run after them. Leave no friend behind.
She finally caught up to Quinn and Ashley when they reached the others, and she...stayed back by Ash. She didn't really know Atlas or Aboli well, and Williamson was here now, she was certain he'd make right...whatever had happened. A ferret was dead, she thought. Oh, nope, a Jarvey, because here were all the other Jarveys too.
Was Williamson about to cry?
Mamie tried not to. |

Too slow! It was time to get out of here. She sensed something was seriously OFF with this place. Violet took her hand off Curtis's arm and ran after the jarvey--she didn't want to lose sight of it! The jarveys were supposed to help them, Williamson had said. She was tired of waiting for the others, she wanted to get out of here! So she followed the jarvey...

This was scary, like bone-chillingly so, but Emm’s screams were only going to call attention to THEM and if someone was going around casting-casting that, Cece didn’t want them ANYWHERE near the small group of ladies. She clapped a hand over Emmerson’s mouth, trying to quiet her. ”Emm, shhh! You’ll make it worse. You don’t want them coming to us. Just please. Please stop.”
There were more shouts, and someone had definitely sent up the sparks not lemondrops, sorry furry friend, which meant at least Williamson was coming. ”We should move.”
