                                                          Tesni wasn't suitably impressed with their answers but was admittedly content that they at least payed some sort of attention. "That is correct Miss Frey and Miss Vance, five points to Gryffindor and Ravenclaw." She then sighed and cracked her knuckles a bit before waving her wand and allowing their textbooks to flutter open and find the chapter she would be lecturing over. "Today we will be learning about Nogtails, a creature who's status is often debated over. Some professionals say that it is indeed a demon while other's merely say it is a demon-like creature. But the conclusions are always the same: Nogtails are not to be understated. They are mainly found in rural areas across Europe, America, and Russia. They are piglet-like creatures with long legs, a thick, stubby tail, and narrow black eyes. They look like a rather stunted piglet. Nogtails sneak into a pigsty, and suckle on an ordinary pig which curses the farm. The longer the Nogtail goes undetected, the longer the blight will stay on the farm. Nogtails are very fast and hard to catch, the only way to make sure the Nogtail will not come back is to chase it away with a pure white dog. The Pest Sub-Division of the Ministry of Magic's Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures maintains a pack of a dozen albino bloodhounds specifically for this purpose. Nogtails are also hunted for sport although that's a subject that strays more into subjective rather than objective so we won't discuss that here. You are free to do so on your own time however. For you homework, I want nine inches on Nogtails, detailing what they do to a farm, where they are found, their earliest origins, etc. etc. If you would like, for extra credit you may also offer your own thoughts on their sport hunting. Please drop it off in the box in my office or hand it to me personally next meeting. If there are no questions, class is dismissed." Tesni said with a soft sigh. Just one more class today and then you're home free Yates.

                                                          *Next Class*


                                                          Tesni thought this lesson would be one of her least favorites, and she was completely right. Nogtails weren't the most visually appealing creatures to work with, and also they were a b***h to wrangle. Thankfully, having a brother that works for the ministry did have its perks, she was able to get a twenty-four hour lease of one of their albino bloodhounds. They were funny looking things bloodhounds on a regular day, but pure white one was a real sight. Still, he was rather adorable. And friendly. She had just secured the padlock for the ninth time, nasty little bugger, when she turned to see her students coming out to her for their lesson. Finally! Then she could ship these things right back to where they came from. "Afternoon kiddies I hope you're all doing well. If you haven't already, please turn in your homework and extra credit work on that stump over there. If you remember correctly, we went over nogtails in our last lecture, so today we will be interacting with some. You will not have to actually go into the pen which honestly makes mine and Kingsley's job here a bit easier. For right now, just watch." Tesni directed the dog to stay, not needing a loose nogtail lost in the forest, before she climbed over the wall of the pen and in short rapid movements went about to wrangling one of the smaller nogtails. Once it was firmly in her grasp, she quickly unlocked the padlock, went out, and quickly did it back on before letting out a sigh of relief at no escapes. "This squirming thing right here is a nogtail. Note that it closely resembles an actual piglet but if you look closer you'll see the physical differences. First and foremost it's darker thicker hide and muscular hind legs. Since this one is still young, its legs haven't grown to much size, however if it was allowed to suckle from a normal sow on a farm, they would grow and it would be able to walk on them without the use of its front two legs. Another noticeable characteristic are its completely black eyes. Some researchers say that this is the trait denoting its demon status while others disagree. Now, another-ohbloodyhell! Petrificus totalus!" Tesni had been steadily ignoring it's frantic squirming since she knew she had a good enough grip, however when it tried spinning in her arms she knew she had to do something and quickly stopped its movements. "First and foremost, that is a very difficult thing to do on a fully grown, fully mobile nogtail because they are inhumanly quick. Never attempt to go after one on your own." she told her students seriously making sure to look them each in the eye before giving a nod and continuing. "The last notable thing about nogtails are their stubby tails which are the most prized thing on a nogtail. They are a rare potion ingredient because of how hard they are to acquire, and most traps for nogtails are made pure for their tails which are chopped clean off. This may sound painful for the creature but it isn't, they have no feeling in their tail so when it's chopped off their cries are more from surprise than actual pain. Since I've got this one immobilized, you are free to examine it and the others in the pen. But like I said before, do not enter the pen just observe what you can. If for some horrendously stupid chance that you did enter without my permission and one of the nogtails got out, not only will you be up to your eyelids in detention you will also be helping me and Kingsley capture it. Do I make myself clear? Good. You may begin." Tesni told them quickly transfiguring a stick into a small table and laying the still nogtail upon it for them to observe.

                                                              ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

                                                          Tesni, as per usual, spent her time before class in the Forest gathering herbs for a more casual use than just cooking. When it was time for class to start she parted from the forest casting a scourgify here or there for any dirt that might have stuck to her clothing while using her fingers to comb out any spiders or leaves that might've gotten caught in the curly mane she called hair. As she was tying it up she spotted the tell-tale signs of students walking out to her and straightened up as to present a strong front. If she didn't these little pubescent wankers would walk all over her. After a while when she was sure everyone that was supposed to be there was present she gave an internal sigh and decided that the time had come, the Walrus said.

                                                          "Good morning all, I'm sure only half of you remember my name but if you at least remember my rules regarding tomfoolery and general stupidity in this class then we'll be alright." she concluded not waiting to see if there even were any comments. She hoped these students weren't that stupid. "Since you've grasped the concept of this class, clearly since you're all still here, I want you to each say something about a magical creature you've learned about. When you've all had a chance I'll start the lesson and then you can go." Tesni said with slight stretch getting ready for all the regurgitation.

HufflepuffFourth YearFourteen Years OldSingle



After Healing Arts class, Hannah was glad of the chance to get out of the closed confines of the castle. She wouldn't have minded flying out here on a her broomstick, but decided the professor might get a bit perturbed about that. After all, she did casually threaten to grind troublemakers up for fertilizer.

Hannah raised her hand, and offered, "Um, bowtruckles are small creatures whom act as guardians for the Wiggenweld trees they live in. Their favourite foods are wood lice and faery eggs."

                                                        Emma walked down to the forest line where Magical Creatures class was to gather, after her Healing class had ended. Joining her best friend Hannah for class, she held her books and waited for what was most likely review. Loving the outdoors class, Emma couldn’t complain as they jumped into past creatures. After Hannah talked about bowtruckles, the white haired girl raised her hand. “We also covered Pixies. Rather mischievous bright blue creatures that love play a prank or two.” She said brightly they were little devils for sure.

                                                        Emma looked down at her book as it flew open. ‘Nogtails…?’ She thought not having a clue what they were. They looked like a pig if you asked her. However, they were certainly different looking. Taking out her parchment and quill the Hufflepuff started taking notes on the pig like creatures, from their location to their description. Once she was finished writing down what trouble they caused and what the Ministry did to prepare for them, she raised her hand. “I have a question professor, what’s special about pure white dogs that drive Nogtails away?” She asked curiously before writing down her homework. Perhaps she’d get started on it after getting back up to the castle.

                                    Raymond had only taken magical creatures because he liked the outdoors. It was Friday morning and he’d arrived on time just outside the forest. Holding his books he waited for class to start. He got prepared knowing he had two more classes after this one later in the day. When Professor Yates asked for review Raymond remembered the Bowtruckles. “We covered Bowtruckles. They guard the tree that is their home. If you get to close they’ll attack because they feel threatened. Though they you can distract them with woodlice.” He spoke up then waited for what was to come next.

                                              ﻬஐCaty was dragging behind and slowly running out of options. Her depressive mode was lagging around longer than it usually was and nothing she was doing was working. Not classes, not chocolate, not her usual evening time activity, nothing. She was quickly running out of options and she was loathe to move locations because she was already getting looks from her friends about her sudden stiffness and tenderness along with the knowing glances from Leon. Despite all the s**t that went down last year she was happy that he could at least still keep their secret a secret. And if she managed to slip him a new pack of fags she smuggled in that was no one's business but her own. She finally caught up with the rest of the class and pulled out her notebook robotically going through the motions and waited for the professor's usual fanfare. As like the rest of her classes earlier in the week she asked for a review while Caty sort of slid into the shadows hoping the others would go quick enough so that they could get through the lesson and she could go back to her bed bfore her next class. Just standing there was making her feel winded, god how sas she supposed to get through Quidditch if this kept up?! Unluckily for her, Yates had a hawk's eyesight to match her coloring and zeroed in on her forcing her to come out into the light figuratively and literally. "We also went over pixies which are small mischevious troublemakers. They're a class three beast which is normally surprising for ones so small but they have incredible strength and have strength in numbers." Caty recited monotonously having stared downward the entire time. Thankfully the professor didn't get on to her about that which honestly she didn't think she could've brought herself to care.ஐﻬ

I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook

                                                          Tesni wasn't suitably impressed with their answers but was admittedly content that they at least payed some sort of attention. So she just sighed and cracked her knuckles a bit before waving her wand and allowing their textbooks to flutter open and find the chapter she would be lecturing over. "Today we will be learning about Nogtails, a creature who's status is often debated over. Some professionals say that it is indeed a demon while other's merely say it is a demon-like creature. But the conclusions are always the same: Nogtails are not to be understated. They are mainly found in rural areas across Europe, America, and Russia. They are piglet-like creatures with long legs, a thick, stubby tail, and narrow black eyes. They look like a rather stunted piglet. Nogtails sneak into a pigsty, and suckle on an ordinary pig which curses the farm. The longer the Nogtail goes undetected, the longer the blight will stay on the farm. Nogtails are very fast and hard to catch, the only way to make sure the Nogtail will not come back is to chase it away with a pure white dog. The Pest Sub-Division of the Ministry of Magic's Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures maintains a pack of a dozen albino bloodhounds specifically for this purpose. Nogtails are also hunted for sport although that's a subject that strays more into subjective rather than objective so we won't discuss that here. You are free to do so on your own time however. For you homework, I want nine inches on Nogtails, detailing what they do to a farm, where they are found, their earliest origins, etc. etc. If you would like, for extra credit you may also offer your own thoughts on their sport hunting. Please drop it off in the box in my office or hand it to me personally next meeting. If there are no questions, class is dismissed." Tesni said with a soft sigh. Just one more class today and then you're home free Yates.

You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby, oh.
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated than loved, loved, loved for what you're not

                                              »Tesni, as per usual, spent her time before class in the Forest gathering herbs for a more casual use than just cooking. When it was time for class to start she parted from the forest casting a scourgify here or there for any dirt that might have stuck to her clothing while using her fingers to comb out any spiders or leaves that might've gotten caught in the curly mane she called hair. As she was tying it up she spotted the tell-tale signs of students walking out to her and straightened up as to present a strong front. If she didn't these little pubescent wankers would walk all over her. After a while when she was sure everyone that was supposed to be there was present she gave an internal sigh and decided that the time had come, the Walrus said.

                                              "Good morning all, I'm sure you all remember who I am and I'm hoping you know what class you're attending. I won't rehash the rules because I trust that you remember them and remember that I don't make idle threats." she gave them all a short toothy grin before continuing on. "Since you've grasped the concept of this class, clearly since you're all still here, I want you to each say something about a magical creature you've learned about. When you've all had a chance I'll start the lesson and then you can go." Tesni said with slight stretch getting ready for all the regurgitation. «

Gryffindor Fourth Year Fourteen Years OldSingle



Care of Magical Creatures was one of those classes Fianna got interested in because her parents raised dogs, some of whom were magical in nature. She wasn't sure if she'd be interested in taking over the business if they ever retired, but it wouldn't hurt having the knowledge. If nothing else, the class got her out of the castle, and that was never a bad thing.

Raising her hand, Fianna offered, "Um, Professor Yates, we covered Bowtruckles last term. They protect their home trees, usually a Wiggenweld Tree, and they will attack if threatened. They can be distracted with woodlice, though they really like faery eggs."

                  Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
                  "Everything you wants a dream away
                  We are legends, every day"
                  That's what she told me

                  Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
                  "Everything you wants a dream away
                  Under this pressure, under this weight
                  We are diamonds"

                                              »Tesni thought this lesson would be one of her least favorites, and she was completely right. Nogtails weren't the most visually appealing creatures to work with, and also they were a b***h to wrangle. Thankfully, having a brother that works for the ministry did have its perks, she was able to get a twenty-four hour lease of one of their albino bloodhounds. They were funny looking things bloodhounds on a regular day, but pure white one was a real sight. Still, he was rather adorable. And friendly. She had just secured the padlock for the ninth time, nasty little bugger, when she turned to see her students coming out to her for their lesson. Finally! Then she could ship these things right back to where they came from. "Afternoon kiddies I hope you're all doing well. If you haven't already, please turn in your homework and extra credit work on that stump over there. If you remember correctly, we went over nogtails in our last lecture, so today we will be interacting with some. You will not have to actually go into the pen which honestly makes mine and Kingsley's job here a bit easier. For right now, just watch." Tesni directed the dog to stay, not needing a loose nogtail lost in the forest, before she climbed over the wall of the pen and in short rapid movements went about to wrangling one of the smaller nogtails. Once it was firmly in her grasp, she quickly unlocked the padlock, went out, and quickly did it back on before letting out a sigh of relief at no escapes. "This squirming thing right here is a nogtail. Note that it closely resembles an actual piglet but if you look closer you'll see the physical differences. First and foremost it's darker thicker hide and muscular hind legs. Since this one is still young, its legs haven't grown to much size, however if it was allowed to suckle from a normal sow on a farm, they would grow and it would be able to walk on them without the use of its front two legs. Another noticeable characteristic are its completely black eyes. Some researchers say that this is the trait denoting its demon status while others disagree. Now, another-ohbloodyhell! Petrificus totalus!" Tesni had been steadily ignoring it's frantic squirming since she knew she had a good enough grip, however when it tried spinning in her arms she knew she had to do something and quickly stopped its movements. "First and foremost, that is a very difficult thing to do on a fully grown, fully mobile nogtail because they are inhumanly quick. Never attempt to go after one on your own." she told her students seriously making sure to look them each in the eye before giving a nod and continuing. "The last notable thing about nogtails are their stubby tails which are the most prized thing on a nogtail. They are a rare potion ingredient because of how hard they are to acquire, and most traps for nogtails are made pure for their tails which are chopped clean off. This may sound painful for the creature but it isn't, they have no feeling in their tail so when it's chopped off their cries are more from surprise than actual pain. Since I've got this one immobilized, you are free to examine it and the others in the pen. But like I said before, do not enter the pen just observe what you can. If for some horrendously stupid chance that you did enter without my permission and one of the nogtails got out, not only will you be up to your eyelids in detention you will also be helping me and Kingsley capture it. Do I make myself clear? Good. You may begin." Tesni told them quickly transfiguring a stick into a small table and laying the still nogtail upon it for them to observe.«

                                              »Tesni found the turnabout from the previous nogtail content to something as harmless as a puffskein somewhat hilarious. But it was something the Ministry thought was important to teach and who was she to argue with such esteemed masses? She was reading this time, her body leaning against her usual tree as the students came over. The book cover merely stated that it was a book, literally having on the words "The Book" printed on its cover and spine, and she only flipped to a new page every so often. When she peered over the top of its pages and noted most if not all her students were accounted for she closed it with a snap and threw it on top of her gear on the soft ground beneath the tree. "Hello kiddies, I've got a rather simple lecture for you today so don't disappoint me by daydreaming or just not paying attention. Simple or not, the subject will still require study and a report." Tesni informed them with a raised eyebrow before continuing on. "Today we'll be learning about Puffskeins, not to be confused with their bas-their offspring the Pygmy Puff.

                                              A Puffskein is covered in soft fur and spherical in shape. It is a popular pet found worldwide that does not object to being cuddled or thrown about. The Puffskein is a scavenger, eating anything from leftovers to spiders, but it particularly likes to use its long thin pink tongue to eat wizards' bogeys while they sleep. This makes them a popular wizarding pet. The Puffskein is easy to care for, and they emit a low humming sound when they are content. A group of Puffskeins or Pygmy Puffs is referred to as a poffle. Shaved Puffskein hair has magical properties, and is useful as a potion ingredient, such as in Zygmunt Budge's variation of the Laughing Potion.

                                              There are two wizard bred versions or offsprings of the original Puffskein, one being the Fanged Puffskein whose creation is now banned due to the 1965 Ban on Experimental Breeding) and punishable by the Wizengamot. The second is the aforementioned Pygmy Puff which was bread by the Weasley twins and sold at their original joke store and is now indeed a common and apparently still popular staple at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. If there are no questions, I would like at least eight inches on Puffskeins and their mentioned versions as well as information on the other Puffskein variation not mentioned today in lecture. That's all for today, class is dismissed."
                                              Tesni told them with a short wave before summoning her book and returning to her page.«
