It was a touchy lesson at any time and the recent circumstances made this particular lesson even more sensitive. She considered forgetting it all together... or possibly making it a lecture.
Becca waited patiently for the students to arrive. They were old enough to make the decision on this one.

Krissy showed up eagerly. Care of magical creatures was her favourite class and so one she didn't mind being early for. She arrived into thwe classroom and saw Professor Davenport. "Hey miss!" Krissy said eagerly. "Are we going to see animals today?" she asked curiously, looking foreward to diong some practical work. "Like do some practical work instead of book work?" she asked.

"I sure hope so," Arianna commented as she approached the class and the only two occupants. She could do with being destracted by an animal or two. Even if they were the kind that might blast her fingers off. At least her attention would be focused on staying alive and not on those that no longer were.

Reina tried to slip into the class like last time and sit in the back. She didn't care what they were doing as long as Ari and Krissy, not two of her bestfriends, didn't notice she was retaking a class or actually taking a class for the first time. Who knew she had to take two electives? Like she was supposed to listen when the Headmistress, her head of house, and past prefects were talking. AND that she was supposed to read those stupid notices on the house commonroom boards.

"Thestrals today ladies," Becca announced plainly. "And I figure you three are mature enough to actually decide if we do the practical lesson today. With recent events, I know it may be a sensitive subject for some of you."

Reina hunched her shoulders. she ws now called out, but she did remember this class...sort of.
"Yes, Threstals are those invinsible animals that you can't see unless you have witness someones death or something like that, right Profs?"
Reina felt smart, but then she shook her head. It was like being the brightest in a box of gray crayons. What did it matter if you already had the material before.

"Can we...visit them?" Arianna asked, raising her hand. She had been able to see the Thestrals for nearly four years now. Oddly, they brought more comfort to the girl than any sort of fear or forboding. In fact, she had spent part of her second year talking to the creatures about all sorts of things. It had been a long while since she had done so. Maybe it was time to visit them again.

"I'd like to see them too" Krissy said looknig to the professor eagerly. "Will we be able to get close to them, near them?" she asked curiously. She had seen them pulling the carages for a while now, but hadn't ever really been near them. Krissy was excited by the prospect of maybe getting to get up close to the threstrals she thought they were magnificent creatures.

Reina was confused. She turned to Ari and Krissy well leaned forward as she was trying to stay in the back and not be noticed on the grounds, but curiousity was always Reina's downfall.
"You both can see them? What do they look like? Why can you see them? I know why I mean what happened."
This time Reina's questoins weren't laced with sarcasm or underlying jokes, she was sincere.

Becca was pleased the girls seemed eager to continue with the lesson as planned. "Then we'll head over to the pen," she told them with a smile, leading the way out of the classroom. She paused at the back steps to retrieve the side of beef she had stowed back there. In her school days, Professor Hagrid had just hoisted the meat onto his shoulders. While she was strong, she opted to levitate the meat in front of her as she walked deeper into the forest. At the same clearing Hagrid had used years ago, she dropped the beef, stepped back and waited. She was not able to see the beasts herself, but she would know when they showed up.

Reina waited. She looked around and stared at the beef, looked around some more and started to get bored. She was thinking this was a waste of a good day when she saw it! Reina actually saw the beasts and she thought back to her father dying in her arms by those murdering do good bastards. Reina's eyes watered as she stared at one of the thestrals eating the meat.
"Last year," Reina said quietly to herself. "I couldn't see them last year and now I can. I can see them."
Reina could feel the tears in her eyes, but she couldn't look away. She couldn't stop the anger and pain that was coursing through her body.
