Professor Rae struggled to open the door to the classroom, nearly tripping over the door frame on her way in. In her arms sat a quite heavy something that was covered in a large star-spangled cloth. She inched it carefully onto her desk before heaving a great sigh of relief that the task was done. Brushing her hands off, Professor Rae crossed the room. After removing her wand, she flicked it, causing the sconces on the walls to flame to life.

"There now," she watched the fire light dance merrily on the walls, then turned to wait for her students to enter.

"Yes, Kali is on the right track. The author simply means that a trained wizard would feel the affect of the pogrebin and be able to handle the situation. Going unchecked, the pogrebin could cause serious harm."

Well, basically it makes them feel lethargic, in despair and confused

"A pogrebin lurks around the humans for hours. The humans become emtionally drained and the pogrebin tries to eat them," Becca said.

The effect on the human of being tailed by a Pogrebin is an overwhelming sense of despair.

"How does the presence of a pogrebin affect a person?"

*Sarah thinks for a second and then puts up her hand*

A sense of great futility with over come the pogrebin's prey. Then the person could fall into a state of lethargy and despair.

And so the victim will fall to it's knees and begin to weep, in which case the pogrebin will attempt to dovour the victim. But this is only if it is not repulsed with hexes or kicked away.

*thinks about it*

Ewww! But...that's so true! How does it eat a human? And it's only like a foot tall...that means it would be eating something at least five times bigger than itself...gross!

"Five points to Ravenclaw. Thank you, Kali. Yes, you all are definitely on the right track. The pogrebin causes a sense of despair in any person it is near, not unlike the dementor. However, the pogrebin does not FEED off of emotions, but acts more like a drain. When the person simply cannot bear the hopelessness, they will collapse and the pogrebin will take THAT opportunity to attack. They DO have small mouths, Hurlayhunnay, but they are so small it is necessary for the prey to be near death or unconscious."

"Why do you suppose they generally reside in forests and tundras, as opposed to cities and villages?"

Well, professor, my guess is that in a city or village, it would be easly spotted because there are many more people around that can see other people backs. Whereas in a seculded forest, unless the person is constantly checking behind them, it is easier to go unoticed, they are camouflaged better.

She raises her hand again. "Maybe it's because in both forests and the tundra they can disguise themselves as a stone easily, and then in forests they can also hide in the dark shadows of the trees."

"Because there is more water out there to lurk in and maybe more people get lost out there. So it would be easier to drain the emitions from the people."

Well, in a city, there are so many people so they can't really go to one place without being stepped on or recinized.

Well, for camouflage...i can't imagine there being many places to hide in a city or village. And there would be so many people too...so it would be bound to be hexed/kicked. Where as it it was in a forest etc. it could get the odd person walking through...'

Mmh... because as the desguise as stones you would need an scenrio that fits with your desguise? Or maybe because the pogrebin attacks a person per attack, not a lot, it needs to concentrate it's negative energy in one person at the time, meaning it cannot it be too crowded

"Five points to Star, miss_sweetheart, theaussiebillywig, and Nadia. And actually, Becca, the pogrebin is notoriously a poor swimmer, so it probably would not be lurking in any lakes or ponds."

"Basically, the tundras and forests of Russia are a better hunting ground for the reasons stated by your classmates. They fit in better and can hide more easily. There are less people, but that is an advantage when you are trying to be sneaky and attack over a period of time. Plus, if you are outdoors, your prey cannot leave you behind by entering or leaving a building."

"I want to discuss with you the most common way of identifying the pogrebin, but first, are there any questions?"

Becca quickly goes red and looks down at her book. She starts to read more on pogrebins. "I am so stupid. That was the most stupidest answer,"Becca mutters to herself quietly. Becca puts her hand on her forehead and rest her elbow on the table. She is bright red.

*looks over at Becca, gives a reassuring smile and whispers*

'Don't worry...I had no idea if they lurked in water or not either!'

*raise hand* I have a question. I have noticed the dementor and the pogrebin, well, kinda work alike -though you already stated the difference about why they do it... my question is other: which is the main difference with the feelings you get when you encounter a pogrebin and when you encounter a dementor?

I see it like this, the dementor depressed, but maybe without reason, while the pogrebin despairs but with the notion of depression: I mean, feeling useless and not finding reason for anything is quite something to get depressed...

ooc: want to talk about wrong answers? I once said that the bird in Hogwarts crest was a phoenix, and meaning Hufflepuff and not Ravenclaw!

Miss Sarah Bippity Boppity Boo!

*gives becca a smile*

Aw don't worry! *says Sarah whispering* We've all had our share of wrong answers, I've answered multiple choice questions 'true or false' before, so don't worry about it!

"Thanks but I should have know better," Becca whispers back to theaussiebillywig and Sara then goes back to reading her book. She looked up at the professor a couple of times. She was still a little red.
