The class would be held inside this day and Becca strolled up and down the length of the room, checking on the crates that were on each and every table. When she paused to check her class roster over again, a long pink tounge snaked it's way through the slats and up to her nose. She slapped it away without even thinking before making her way back up to the front to wait for the students.
Seeing as she still had a few minutes, she propped up her feet and opened a good book: Kelpies: The Wonder in the Water

Matty had taken her time getting to the Care of Magical Creatures class today, just because she didn't want to be the first one there, but as she opened the door, she indeed was. Remembering her last lesson, on Flobberworms, she hoped that this lesson would be more thrilling. Matty stood at the door for a moment before sitting down in one of the middle row chairs. ((are there chairs?)) She took out her stuff before grabing a speare bit of parchment and started to randomly draw patterns on it.

Misaki thought she was running late for care of magical creatures, so she came bursting into the classroom. Taking a quick look around, Misaki discovered there was only one person in the class so far. "Stupid clock..." she mumbled walking further into the room. She ran to this class for nothing. Well, nothing she could do about it now. "Hey Matty! What's going on?" she greeted taking a seat behind her.

Jynx finally made his way to Care of Magical Creatures. He hadn't wanted to get there early and be the first on there, so he took his time on the way. Reaching the classroom he opened the door to find that two students were already there Matty and Misaki. He also saw that the teacher was in the room with reading some kind of book. Walking over to where the two girls were sitting Jynx took a seat next to Matty. "Hi Matty" said setting down his bag next to him and then turning around to say hi to Misaki.

Kylie entered into the classroom where their Care of Magical Creatures class was going to be held today and was glad to see that there was already some of the students there, all of which she had had the pleasure of already meeting in some of her other classes. Walking over to where they were sitting she sat her bag down on the desk in front of her and began to take out all of the normal supplies that she thought she would need for the upcoming lesson. Once she had unpacked her stuff she took a seat next to Misaki she said hello to everyone.

Misaki said hello to Jynx before turning to Kylie. She couldn't wait to get started on today's class. Misaki loved to deal with any kind of creature just as long as it won't bite her head off. At least she managed to make sure her cat, Mai, stayed in her dorm for the day. "Hey Kylie, what do you reckon we're doing today?" she asked.

"Hey Jynx, Hey Misaki, Hey Kylie" Matty said turning to them all as she watched Jynx take a seat next to her. She smiled at him before saying "How are you all?" looking back up and around to the other two girls who she had already met in another one of their classes. She then looked back over to the Professor who was reading a book, maby that was a sign that class wasn't starting just yet, which might be nice. Although today Matty really did want to get stuck into some interseting creature.

"I have no idea, but I hope that it is fun," Kylie said looking at the crates and trying to see if she could tell what was inside. She couldn't really make out what was in the crate in front of her so she decided to just wait for the teacher to take it out so she could get a better look at it. Then hearing Matty she said, "Great, how about you?"
She couldn't wait for the class to get started, she just wanted to know what was in the crates. They had to be some sort of interesting creatures.

{The crates would actually be open on the top. Sorry}
The clock on the Professor's desk chimed the hour and Becca's book snapped shut before the last bell sounded. She found it interesting that while most of the students had expressed an interest in what they were studying, only the Gryffindor had actually looked in the crate on her desk to see what the creature was.
"We're continuing our work on standard creature care," she announced, signalling that side discussion would need to stop. "Our topic today is the Puffskien. Does anyone already know something about this aprticular creature?" She was hoping a few of the Magical-born students might be familiar with the household pet.

Turning his attention back around to Matty he was just about to tell her how his day had went when he heard the professor snap her book shut. Looking up towards her he decided that he would just tell Matty later because he didn't want to lose any points for talking when the professor was.
Jynx listened as the professor introduced their next creature. When she asked if anyone knew anything about a Puffskien he thought he knew what a Puffskien and decided that he would raise his hand and give it a shot. He wasn't entirely sure that this was the information she wanted but said it anyways, "Puffskiens have really long tongues and are kept as pets by wizards." He had never really had one of the creatures himself but knew that one of his friends did.

Crates? What in the name of Merlin...
Devon didn't even want to know. He just wasn't going to ask. Instead, he just listened to the conversation now in progress. He was about to speak and tell the professor what Puffskiens were, but the other boy beat him to it. Well, la dee da, Devon thought sarcastically. Today hadn't been an easy day, and now Devon was just irritated. It had nothing to do with the boy who answered before him, but just everything in general.
Devon decided his bad day wouldn't ruin the class for him, as he was quite fond of Puffskiens. They were handy in the trouble making business and were often of great value. That occupied Devon's mind for a while, cooking up an ingenious plan that involved a Puffskien and some poor poor victim...

Kylie being Muggle born had no clue what a Puffskien was or what on earth it would be used for. Looking into the crate it didn't look like it would be that useful of a creature unless you needed an extremely long tongue for some reason, which she couldn't think of any reason anyone would need it.
When Jynx said that wizarding famlies kept them as pets she couldn't see why they would. The Puffskiens weren't nearly as cute as muggle pets. Personally she thought that dogs and cats were a lot cutier then these fur balls. But still she couldn't wait to learn more about them. She was interested in all creatures magical and non-magical.

"Thank you Mr. Caffee," Becca announced with a smile as if she had totally forgotten the incident on the second floor. She picked up the creame-coloured ball of fluff and showed it to the class. "Most definitely a good pet, the Puffskien enjoys a good cuddle or even a toss-about," she said, tossing the creature lightly in her hands. Her favorite classes were definitely the hands on ones. "If you haven't by now, you may pick it up if you care too... Now they have been given a two-X designation by the ministry, meaning what again?"

"That it is some how more dangerous then a flobberworm." Jynx said thinking back to the first lesson where a flobberworm had a one-X designation. He couldn't really see how these little balls of fur could possibly be more dangerous then a flobberworm, maybe it was because they actually did something or just cause mild allergies or something.
Picking up one of the Puffskiens Jynx cocked his arm back as if to throw and said enthusiastically, "Go long Matty." After all Professor Davenport did say they enjoyed being tossed. He didn't really intend on throwing it and was only doing to see the look on Matty's face.

Smiling at the Professor, Matty noted down about the Puffskiens ministry level, then peered into her crate to look. Just about to pick up her own Puffskiens, she heard a voice she knew very well... "Go long Matty" ran through her ear, as she turned to Jynx and relised what hen was doing. Mouth open she smirked and hoped that the Professor didn't mind his joke. Wait...what the heck? She then relised that he was really goning to throw the poor little thing to her. Jolting out her arms, she was ready to catch it if he threw it. Then tilting her head slightly, she raised one eye brow.
