Magizoology 6.2 - Griffin

[Rebecca Davenport]

The downside of studying the higher levels of magizoology was the lack of hands on classes, something Becca enjoyed the most about teaching the subject. Still, it would hardly be logical to bring some of the more dangerous creatures into class. She tried to space them out and since the last one had been a more docile creature, this one was to be a dangerous one, and therefore, a purely theoretical lesson.

As she made notes for he class on the board, the students started filing in.

"Hello, hello, hello!" Arianna paused at the door and glanced around to see that she was the first one to class. She certainly didn't mind, of course. This was one of her favorite classes anyway.

"So...griffins, huh?" she read the board as she moved to a seat at the front of the room. Reaching into her bag, Arianna produced some parchment, a quill, and an ink well.

[Krissy Fleming]

(Coulda sworn I had posted here, but...)

Krissy came bounding into the classroom. She loved care of magical creatures it was one of her favourite classes, even when they did have to do learning straight out of a book. It was a good thing too because Krissy noticed the notes on the board as she walked in. Theory lesson. "Heya miss" Krissy said excitedly making her way to sit down next to Ari.

"Heya cutie" she said with a grin to Ari as she sat next to her friend and began to pull her equipment out of her bag.

"Griffins, yes," Becca announced in response to Ari. She smiled as Krissy came in and greeted them "Why thank you Miss Fleming. You look quite nice too," she said, brushing a loose stand of hair back as if Krissy had been speaking to her.

"So we start. Yes, unfortunately, we're in for a theoretical lesson today. Griffins are classified as a 4-X beast and while we have had a few with that classification, this particular creature is deemed a bit too dangerous to actuall have in a classroom setting." She gave a long sigh of dissapointment. "So... what do we already know?"

[arianna]

Arianna grinned when the professor took the compliment. She didn't mind, though she would feel odd telling the woman she looked cute. Pretty, maybe, but not cute.

"Griffins....griffins..." Arianna muttered to herself as she found a seat. She knew there were a few statues of the creatures around the school. They looked pretty cool, but she wasn't sure why they were so dangerous. "They're the animals that are like...half eagle, half lion, aren't they?"

[Rebecca Davenport]

"In a manner of speaking, yes," Becca answered. It was, of course, a layman's description but still perfectly acceptable in this case. "It's front half does resemble an eagle and it's body and hindquarters are like those of a lion. They are very fierce, but trainable and have been known to guard treasure."
