((This would make more sense if someone hadn't deleted my pervious post. I wouldn't mind an explanation either as to why it got deleted, if there is one that is.))
Splat. "What the heck," Jynx said not bothering to keep his voice down as slime ran down his head. He had been paying attention to what Matty's reaction was when all of a sudden slime hit him in the head and he had no idea of where it had come from. Using his cloak he wiped it off the best he could and looked around to see who had done it. He couldn’t really tell who had thrown it so he decided to let it go for the time being. Really there was nothing else he could do about it anyways in less he just started chucking random people into the bog and hoped that he got to the right person eventually.

Kylie continued to write notes about hinkpunks thinking, If all bogs look like that, then there is definitely no chance of a hinkypunk ever luring me into one. First off I would never get that close to anything so disgusting. Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by Ranyors voice once more and she couldn't help but laugh at Raynor's comeback to Devon. Her attention back on the lesson at hand she continued to make little notes about what the professor was saying and had to give another small chuckle at muggles mistaking the light for a lighthouse.
As the professor put the cage down Kylie scooted back as far as she could go against the wall. She didn't want that thing coming anywhere near her, especially if it was going to walk through the muck first.
"I wouldn't go in that for anything," Kylie muttered to herself as she thought out loud in response to the Professor saying they shouldn't go in there unless they wanted to do dishes for months.

(( I don't know what happened. But a Global Moderator vouches that the post was there, but now this does make more sense... I didn't respond to this as I had no idea where it came from >.<"))
Her hands mover towards the latch once more, however, stopped midway there. Apparently the second and third years seemed to believe that Raynor had become completely oblivious to anything and everything that went on in her classroom. Six plus years as an auror and she could not tell what was going on right under her nose?
The splats of mud hitting students was enough to know what was going on. And the smears of it on their faces. Raynor had not been the perfect image of a student in her days, and she had not stuck to such amateur acts.
Rising to her feet, she turned around facing the class. Lucky for them, she had not caught sight of the actual culprit, but faces betrayed guilt easily.
"If all of you believe you know everything their is to know about Hinkypunks, continue with your interest in the bog. We can have a lesson in muggle cleaning rather than dark creatures if you wish, both are defiantly related to the Dark Arts, and it will save me the trouble of dealing with it afterwords. Your choice."

Kylie glared in Ty and Jynx's direction. She couldn't believe them. If they knew everything that there was to know about Hinkypunks and didn't want to pay attention, continuing on with their muck slinging Kylie would surely explode on them. She was interested in Hinkypunks and wanted to learn more about them. She had no interest in muggle cleaning. She already knew how to do that, and quite well, since she was muggle born. She just sat there, still sending very nasty glances at Ty and Jynx every chance she got, waiting for the Professor to continue on with her lesson if she was going to or for her to make them do the cleaning. If it was the latter Kylie wouldn't be happy.

Muggle cleaning? It wasn't foreign to the girl, living in a dominantly muggle area. But to even estimate the amount of disinfectant it would take to clean this room was dumbfounding. There was no way Raynor could be serious in punishing all of them. Besides, Lianna had already managed to lose a shoe and by this point remove a mucky sock form her foot because it was too uncomfortable. There no way she was adding sore hands to the mixture. No. Way.
The girl's frown deepened at the thought of such work, as she also knew how stubborn pranksters were when they got caught. The girl's gaze again focused on her foot, a small and extremely quiet "Eww...ick" escaping her before her frown became more directed at that than the cleaning. She didn't mind how she looked, oh no that wasn't the problem. The problem was how crappy it felt and the fact that she'd lost a rather decent shoe.

Matty raised her eye brows at Jynx. What is he getting at? she thought smiling at him. Yet once she turned, a great fat blod of bog scum landed on her arm. Closing her eyes she scraped it off and shook her hand into the bog so that any slime would fall into it. Shaking her head and opening her eyes, she then wiped the remaining slime on her robes, then turned to Jynx and mouthed "Your dead..." before turning back to the Professor. Man she really wanted this lesson the end, yet she was quite enjoying this one compaied to others that she had been to.

Misaki didn't like the sound of muggle cleaning. It sounded like work, but she was a bit proccupied getting some muck off her arm. Of course she knew what muggle cleaning was it was just that she was incredibly lazy at times, and to get a rag in her hand was pretty usless most times. If Misaki found out who did it, meaning Ty or Jynx, they were going to die. That is if the punishment was cleaning. Trying to keep her emotion under control, she just looked back at professor Raynor hoping to continue with the lesson. Learning about Hinkypunk was much better than grabbing a rag and wiping down the classroom.

Jynx just grinned when Matty mouthed 'Your dead' and shrugged back at her smiling innocently and said, "What?" in a low undertone. He had a feeling he knew why Matty would like to kill him, after all it might have been his over spray that caused whoever to retaliate. But still if anyone should be getting that look it should be the person who threw the slime the last time, since they had actually been the one to hit her.
Wiping a little more slime off of his face with his cloak he glanced up to see the professor abandoning the Hinkypunk in the cage and turning towards them. Obviously she hadn't seen who had done the mud throwing and he was definitely not going to cop up to it or say anything for that matter. He was just content at staring down at the cage by her feet and determined not to make eye contact. He wasn't much for the idea of muggle cleaning and thought that the Hinkypunk would be a lot more interesting, not to mention less work. But wasn't about to go adding his two cents into the matter.
Still with bits of slime on his face he glanced up just enough to catch Kylie glaring at him and Ty in turn. Well at least now he knew where the slime had come from. He would just have to wait until the professor looked away to get his revenge on Ty and if that didn't happen he would just have to deal with him later.

Ty, who had been acting as if he had no part in the matter just simply looked up as the professor turned and spoke to them. His face remained motionless and hopefully guilt free, but his hand edged towards his cloak, as if to hide it from sight. Slime covered hands were a sure sign of guilt and he didn’t want to give the Professor any chance of figuring out who had thrown it.
He didn’t really see how muggle cleaning could have anything to do with the Dark Arts but he wasn’t about to ask. Ty had never really done much muggle cleaning himself, but had a shrewd idea of what it entailed and had no intention of trying it. “Lets stick with the Hinkypunk.” Ty said voicing probably what everyone else was thinking or at least the majority had to be thinking because who would want to clean anything. After adding his opinion to the mix he went back to staring straight ahead and keeping his face free of emotion, not even seeing Kylie sending daggers in his direction. Which if seen was pretty much a give away as to what two students had been the ones involved in the throwing. Ironically it was the only two boys in the class, go figure, what girl would want to touch anything that slimy.

Abigail, who seemed to have spaced out during this small slime war, merely rolled her eyes when she came to. Sending a half-hearted glare in Ty's direction for she too knew what muggle cleaning was like, the Huffle redirected her attention to Professor Raynor and nodded. "Hinkeypunks, please Professor," she agreed with Ty. Her nose continued to wrinkle at the awful smell, but smelling a bog had to be a lot better than cleaning one up.

Eying the class one last time, facial expressions and accustational glances had pretty much pointed her in the right direction. However, she let this fact to herself and returned to the Hinkypunk's cage, this time positioning herself diagonally so that she could keep a watchful half-eye on the class.
Opening the tank, she tipped it over side-ways, releasing the Hinkypunk into the bog, who hopped off into its depths on one leg. It was very hard to get a distinct view of the creature that indeed looked as if he was composed of swirling mist. As he went deeper into the bog, he became harder and harder to tell apart from the fog that surrounded him.
"Watch carefully now, he should use his lantern any moment now," the Professor narrated. And huzzah, no sooner had she spoken did a bright light appear in the distance in the bog.
"You can now see for yourself how a Hinkypunk would lure his victim. As evident to the eye, it appears to be just a light out there and light usually means human civilization to most minds, especially a panicked one that is stuck out in a bog. However, following it can lead to devastating results."
A small smirk crossed her lips. This was her favorite question of this lesson. Only one student had got it in the past of all her years of teaching, and that by being cheeky.
"Does anyone know how you would ward yourself against the efforts of a hinkypunk?"

Jynx watched as the professor let the Hinkypunk out of its cage and into the bog. He couldn’t really get that good of a look at the creature. To him it just looked like it was made out of swirling mist that he thought would just easily blend into the bog. The longer the Hinkypunk was out of its cage the harder it was to see it because it started to blend in with the fog just like he thought it might.
Jynx listened to what the professor was saying and watched as the Hinkypunk lit his lantern. Following the light he could just make out the creature in the distance. Hearing the professor ask a question Jynx suggested offhand, “Wander around blind folded.” He knew that this was a stupid answer after all how would you be able to tell where you were going. But on the other hand maybe if you were in a bog and didn’t know the way out it wouldn’t really matter if you could see where you went.

Ty had successfully gotten off most of the mud that had splashed on him by the time Raynor had let out the Hinkypunk. He watched it for a moment then upon hearing Jynx’s rather stupid remark about blindfolds thought that he should add his opinion to the mix. “Or you could just not be stupid enough to get yourself caught in a bog.” Ty said with a little venom in his voice towards Jynx’s response.

The Hufflepuff second year found herself both without caring, and without a voice silently in agreeance with the Slytherin chap. However, she was more concerned at removing the now rather nasty feeling sock from her foot. "Ewewewew...ew......" She muttered whilst removing the abhored piece of footwear by the toe. If Raynor had taken any notice to her, she didn't show it, but she supposed it could be worse, as it seemed none of the class had noticed either. Merely another added bonus to her luck which aside from the sock thing and now misisng shoe, was going suprisingly and unintentionally well.
Or, perhaps this was the beginning of the end of her good luck streak...

Kylie didn't have any idea how you would ward yourself against a hinkypunk, nor did she think that she would ever run into a situation that she would need to know how to ward it off. She was to much of a clean fanatic to find herself trapped in the middle of a bog, yet alone anywhere near one, outside from here of course since this one was required. She was already having issues and cringing with how close the muck was getting to her scooting as far back as she could go with her hands tightly over her book bag as if to guard it from the unsighlty muck.
Paying more attention to the bog then to the actual lesson at hand she just sat there watching the hinkypunk wave his lantern and only payed minimal attention to the answers of her fellow students.
