To my third years, we'll be working with salamanders this week. Now if you're not properly prepared, you may get burnt, so I would like twelve inches on the proper care and handling of salamanders, to be handed in to me at the beginning of class, or you will be sent back and lose a house point for each of you.

Fourth and fifth years, eighteen inches on the uses of unicorn tail and hair. Bring your cloaks to class, we'll be heading into the Forest. As usual, no antics in the forest or you'll be giving an essay on the dangers of the forest creatures. The list in my office is inclusive, so I'd put aside a day or two for that at least.

Sixth and Seventh, no homework is due, but I do ask that if you have any strong feelings about thestrals, you speak to me before class. I assume you covered them in previous classes.

If there are any questions, reply here or see me in person.

-Professor Vantas-Leijon

D --> I have STRONG feelings about Thestrals
D --> I think they are wonderful creatures
D --> May I attend that lesson instead of the one about salamanders
D --> I don't partic001arly care for those

[glaringprotego]

Tell you what
Do the lesson for the salamanders purroperly properly and I'll take you to s33 them. Or--can you s33 them dear?

[centaurstestes]

D --> I can see them
D --> I suppose that is fair
D --> Only twelve inches, then

[glaringprotego]

That's settled then. Is next Tuesday a good time for you? Perhaps it would be simpler to work out the details after this lesson.

[centaurstestes]

D --> Yes
D --> Though for Thestrals, I would consider any time a good time
D --> They're beautiful

[thecardswilltell]

Thestrals, hmmm? I don't suppose I could sit in on that lesson?

[glaringprotego]

If...you really wished to, I suppose. But please don't distract the students.

[thecardswilltell]

Wouldn't dream of it. In fact, I can't even see the beasts myself. But you have to admit, they are interesting.

{>Suddenly I miss school!<}
{>Lovely assignments and a forest trip!<}
{>I think my Care professor was terrified of the forest.<}
{>We were never allowed to go in.<}
{>There's decent reason I guess but still!<}
{>All the things to be learned in there!<}

[glaringprotego]

H33 I'm glad you appurrove.

I never saw the sense in being terrified. You have to treat the forest and its inhabitants with respect! Students often n33d to learn respect. It's no use letting them sit in their seats learning about things they could m33t face to face if they are careful and aware of the dangers.

[animalmagnetism]

{>I couldn't agree more!<}
{>Making it forbidden only encourages fear.<}
{>Or reckless behavior.<}
{>But I think fear is the worst of it personally.<}

[glaringprotego]

Well fear leads to reckless behavior at time but I know what you mean!
At least taking them there gives them a taste of it

[animalmagnetism]

{>I can't argue that!<}
{>And they should get a taste of where the creatures they study live!<}
{>If I could I would take them all over the world to show them.<}
{>I think it would help them get that respect and wonder some of them are missing.<}
