The NEWT level class promised to be a small one, but Becca didn't mind... or she wouldn't have if she had even been in the room.
The old caretaker's hut was open and waiting for her students, a warm fire crackling in the fireplace to warm any who had made the trek from the castle. The chalkboard that had been erected against one wall stated the day's lesson and gave a few instructions for the students.
Pre-read the chapter on the Phoenix. Be ready to discuss

Allegra ran across the field to the Magizoology classroom and slowly opened the door. First again... she thought, though she hardly minded... not with this class. The old caretaker's hut was fun to explore and the animals Davenport had were usually interesting.
She threw her things on a table (having already read the chapter) and started looking around the room.

Brittany walked down to the Care of the Magical Creatures Class, bag slung over her shoulder. She didn't wish to leave the sunlight or the outside but sighed breathing in one last breath of fresh air. Then, she ducked into where the class was going to be held.
Eyes adjusting to the inside lighting, she noticed that she was the second one in the class. Allegra was just a couple feet away looking around the room. Smiling she put her bag down and stated, "We seem to always be in the top three."

Allegra turned around quickly at the sudden entrance and smiled to see that it was Brittany.
"We may very well be the only three this time around," Allegra answered. "I heard not everyone did well enough to continue with this class."

Brittany furrowed her brow and mentioned, "Well, there wasn't a lot of us that came back after this break. Not that I know of at least."
Looking around the room she read the board and realized that she had already read the chapter. She remembered it for the most part since she had read it as something to do before break. "So, are you taking all of the class still?" Brittany asked knowing that the answer would of course be a yes.

Sora slowly opened the door a tiny portion, peeking inside to see his fellow students. FInally opening the door fully, he walked inside and nodded in greeting to his classmates, taking a seat in the back of the class. He closed his eyes and waited for the teacher to come in.

Entering the hut, Aidan's smile brightened slightly. Seeing the instructions on the board, Aidan instantly sat down and opened his book. It was just his nature to follow directions, always had been and always would be. Perhaps that was why he had been put into Ravenclaw, but it was more than that deep down Aidan knew.

Allegra smiled and nodded in response to Brittany's question. "I figured I better since I really don't know what I'm going to do once I graduate," she said. It was actually a scary thought, not having a clue. "Do you know?"

The door to the classroom opened once more and a magnificent bird flew in, followed by Professor Davenport. As the bird took its perch on the stand near her desk, the woman over looked her three... er... four students. With a quick check of the course records, she looked back up and frowned.
"Mr. Blake. You are not on my roster," she announced.

Sora sat up, hearing his name being called. He wasn't in the roster? What roster? He quickly spoke his thoughts,
"Erm...what roster...I passed my Care of Magical Creatures O.W.L...." he said, a confused look on his face,
"...Maybe you should check again, professor..."

The professor looked over her glasses at the Slytherin boy. She was quite sure of what names were on her roster... doubly sure as she had just checked the list again mere seconds before calling on the boy.
"Perhaps you should check your schedule again... or your OWL scores," she said firmly. "You may have passed, but merely passing is not good enough to take my NEWT level course, Mr. Blake. You need a minimum of an E on your OWL."

Sora shrugged, "Someone made a mistake on my schedule then..."
He slowly stood up, thanking Merlin that he didn't bought his books yet for the class. Making sure he had everything, he slowly made his way back to the castle.

Brittany noted the Professor's attendence and waved to Sora as he left. She knew that would be something to tease him about later when she saw him. Looking back to Allegra she shrugged and answered, "I'm going to do some traveling and I want to learn about some of the ancient magic of Europe. Then, I was thinking about going into training for an auror but....I don't know there's just so many things that I wanna do. I guess I'm undecided."

"That sounds exciting," Allegra answered Brittany as she eyed Sora leaving the classroom. While she couldn't help but feel sorry for him (she would have been mortified to get kicked out of a class), she couldn't help but wonder how anyone couldn't have passed with a high enough score. She liked Davenport, but really... the subject wasn't that difficult.

When the boy had left, she turned to the remainder of students. "And welcome to the NEWT level course," she told them. "You've all done well on your OWLs and with that, we'll be covering some more challenging beasts."
"But not today," she continued with a small smile. "I thought we'd start with a classic magical creature... the Phoenix. Fierce in battle and loyal to any wizard capable of domesticating it, it has been given a five-X rating by the Ministry, for many of the same reasons Unicorns have.'
"Can any of you give me any other of the basic information?" she asked, seating herself on the desk. With such a small group, formality could be relaxed a little.
