Magizoology 7.1 - Kelpies

[Rebecca Davenport]

It was her area of expertise, the subject she had spent years researching.

Unfortunately, it would be another boring theoretical lesson.

The classroom was set up as usual with the charts on the board depicting maps and strange looking water creatures. The most curious diagram was the layout of the school grounds which had little marks all across the lake.

Becca pinned another chart on the wall as she waited for the students.


{guys, this is Becca's area of expertise, but please go easy on me. As a writer, I can only go by the information that's already out there. I will play along with anything you make up as long as I find it reasonable, deal?}

[Allegra Thornton]

Allegra came into the classroom and smiled her hello to the professor as she took her seat. She enjoyed this particular class but found it a little tiresome on lecture days. It was kind of ironic to her that the higher up they got in this class, the less hands on it became.

Reina walk into class with a huge smile on her face. She was in the right year. She was in the seventh year class. Reina sat down still smiling like a cheshire cat and glanced around. She didn't care what they studied, she will learn it and graduate. That was her plan.

[penelope]

Having spent enough time with her fellow housemate inside of Slytherin, the South-American girl, upon entering the classroom, chose to go sit next to Allegra.

"Hello ma dear," she said in a way of greeting to the head girl as she deposited her backpack on the ground.

She could only hope this lesson would be far from the awkward vibe that had surrounded her and Kellen the last time.

"You don't mind if I sit here, right?" she asked, although, she was already sitting down.

[Allegra Thornton]

"You made it back!" Allegra told Reina upon seeing her enter the room. Her tone was more congratulatory than teasing as she was honestly glad to see the girl with the seventh years.

When Penelope came in and sat down, Allegra smiled and shook her head. "It's all yours," She answered. She had decided over the summer that she was over it. No matter what was or wasn't between either of them and Kellen, Allegra wasn't going to let it get in the way of their friendship.

[penelope]

"Good, cause I've would have sat here anyway had you said no," she said jokingly and stuck her tongue out at the raven girl for a split second.

By the looks of it this lesson was going to not be practical. The girl might as well take her taking notes material out of her backpack... and so she did. Better to have everything ready and leave the rest of the time, before class begun, for careless chatting with her fellow students.

[diablo]

Reina blushed at Allegra's comments, but decided not to make one of her own. She was still alittle embarass about the whole thing. She was held back for a bit last year. That was so degrading, but she had made it back.

Entering the room, Kayden made her way casually over to the other students seated and took a seat near Allegra. She was the only one she recognized, from being Head Girl, the other two were Slytherins and she was utterly clueless as to who they were.

Care of Magical Creatures was by far her favorite subject, but she certainly didn't mind it, either. She generally scored well in the class, but she never felt that she wanted to ever pursue anything in the realm. Actually, she didn't know what she wanted to do period.

"Hello" she greeted the girl beside her, as she eagerly awaited the start of class.

[Benita Hendrix-London]

"Ladies," Beni said from the doorway (before checking to see if she needed to add "and gentlemen!"), "I have an announcement! Here it is." She cleared her throat and looked on with an official face. "I am actually ready to be studious! No longer am I the slacking lass with stupid questions!" By then, she had sat down next to Allegra and Penelope. "At least not right now," she added in a whisper and said in an even lower voice, "What are we learning today?"

[Kellen McCrea]

Kellen walked into the classroom and immediately realized he was the only male present. Ah, well. There were worse things that could happen, no doubt. "Hello, hello!" he said with a small smirk as he took a seat by the other students. "Oh, and congrats, Beni! Studious is a great accomplishment!" He wasn't trying to tease, though it might have come off in a fun way nonetheless. "And unless I'm wrong, we're learning about kelpies today, yes?"

[penelope]

Penelope was about to greet the huffle girl when Beni waltzed in and made her announcement. This, obviously, caught all her attention. She and Beni certainly had an awful timing when it came to this stuff. Deciding in your last year that you'd be studious was not the smartest thing. These things should be decided, at least, when you were a forth-ie, not now. Better, late than never, right?

"Yeap, what he said," she stated chirpily and pointed with her index finer at Kellen. "By the stuff pinned to the wall I'd say it's Kelpies."

[Benita Hendrix-London]

"Ah, kelpies, yes," Beni grinned at both of them before turning back to her announcer's voice, "I will rightly study all and everything about kelpies! Have no fear..." She waved her arms in a showy way. "... For Beni is here!" She sat down cross legged with more graceful swoops of her arm and smiled. Her face looked ready, but one could note that she hadn't even taken out her text or even a quill.

[Rebecca Davenport]

"Yes, Seventh Years, we're studying Kelpies. A subject quite near and dear to my heart," Becca announced, turning around and facing the class. "So let's start with the basics, shall we. What do you already know?"

[penelope]

"They are water creatures, mostly found in lakes and rivers," Penelope replied with the very basics about the creature. That much everyone in the class was supposed to know. At least she assumed so. Anyhow, stating the obvious was still replying partially to her answer.

[diablo]

Reina raised her hand.

"Um, this may sound stupid, but I heard that the Loch Ness monster is a kelpie, but I thought kelpies were these small little pixie things. So how can Nessie be a kelpie?"
