[Cl] CoMC Term 1, Lesson 4

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa rose her hand, looking around shyly and catching the nod of the professor. She had remembered reading something about Erumpents a while ago, and cleared her throat nervously.

"They have very thick hide that can repel most charms and curses. Also, they are used as ingredients in potions- Their horns, tails and poison, more specifically." She said, timidly lowering her hand, and looking back at her parchment.

[James McFinnigan]

Fin ran into the room, panting. "Sorry, am I late?" He unched over, catching his breath. "So, what are we talking about?" He looked over, and saw where Lisa was sitting, and decided next to her would be a fine spot to spend class.

[Ashlee Van Dort]

Ashlee raised an eyebrow at Fin then returned her attention to the Professor. AJ was playing with her new quill, tapping it gently on her desk. She sighed as she stared at a spot behind the professor.

[profdara]

[glow=BFFFBF,2,300]"Very good Miss Turpin! Twenty points to Hufflepuff," she smiled enthusiastically before turning to the spot where Mr. McFinnigan entered, "So glad you finally decided to join us!" she said with a slight tone of annoyment, though she was more amused than anything else. "For being the most recent addition to the class, you get to be the first to attempt harvesting the poison from the Erumpet, isn't that lucky? Come on up James. No need to be shy now."[/glow]

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa looked over at Fin and smiled at him teasingly, picking up her quill and playing with it a little as she looked back at the professor happily, glad she had contributed twenty points to her house.

[James McFinnigan]

"Well, ummm, okay...how do I do that Professor?"

[profdara]

[glow=BFFFBF,2,300]She smiled and conjured a long staircase that wound up beside the Erumpets nose, "I'll demonstrate once so you all can see." Her chair once again levitated and she flew over to a cabinet where she gathered a few bottles, all looking exactly alike (rough and grey and saggy), and put all but one in her pocket. She then went back up beside the creature and showed the bottle to the class, "This bottle is made out of Erumpet hide. It's one of the only things that won't explode when touched by the poison," she said, then took the corked bottle and jabbed it onto the animals tip horn. There was a -pop- as the cork exploded slightly, but the small bottle was already full and she capped it with a stiffened Erumpet hide lid. "You see, the poison automatically seeps out of the horn once it is impacted by anything, so once the cork hits it the poison begins to flow and fill the bag and then it can be safely fastened with the proper lid. Understand?"[/glow]

[Jinesh Jobalia]

"PROFESSOR!!!!" Jinesh shouted from far away....he knew he was very very late....the nifler had been lost and had took him almost the major part of the class to relocate it....he said to the professor,"my apologies to u professor...this niffler ran away n it took almost 35 mins to find it again....hope u dont mind me coming late to class...i will take notes from my friends if i have missed any."saying that he sat next to AJ and said "hey ash wazzup?'

[Ashlee Van Dort]

Ashlee smiled at the gryffindor. "Hey Jinesh." She put her quill down and folded her hands on her lap.

[profdara]

[glow=BFFFBF,2,300]"Five points from Gryffindor," she stated lazily. "Mister Jobalia, if you must interupt my lesson, at least be quiet about it so that everyone else can hear what I'm saying. You can give me your immaculately thought up excuse after class if you wish." She turned to the rest of the class, "Now, do I need to repeat the instructions for anyone or was everyone able to hear despite our dear Gryffindor's outburst?" Upon seeing mixed expressions from the class she rolled her eyes, "Well then, Mr. McFinnigan, would you like to give it a try?"[/glow]

[James McFinnigan]

"Uh, yeah, sure," Fin said. He slowly stood up and made his way to where the professro was, and took a vial from her. After arriving at the top of the animal's horn, he, very carefully, milked it of it's poison.

[profdara]

[glow=BFFFBF,2,300]"Very good, Mister McFinnigan." she beamed. "Fifteen points to Ravenclaw. Now who wants to try it next?" she asked happily as she looked about the room for other students hoping to earn house points. She saw a student raise their hand and nodded, "Please, come up dear." she nodded and gestured for them to take a place atop the staircase.[/glow]

[Jerred Boneman]

Jerred walked into the classroom silently, walking right to the Professor. he handed her a note from Professor Munchington why he was late.

"Sorry, Professor." Jerred said, quietly, before seeing Fin milk the erumpet. "Looks like fun. Can I have a go, Professor?"

(ooc: I know Professor Munchington didn't really write me a note, I decided I needed a convienant excuse )

[profdara]

"Alright Jerred. Thank you very much for entering quietly." she hands him a corked vial, "Have you ever done this, or read about this before? Or would you like me to quickly explain it to you?" she asked, not wanting any of her students to be blown to smitherines, for lack of instructions on how to properly harvest Erumpet poison. That would be dastardly indeed.

(ooc: Quick note, to quote the Head Mistress

I've missed lessons and one is half way through, what do i do?

It doesn't matter. Just join in with the current lesson as if you've been there the whole time. Don't add a post apologising that you are late, just post at a sensible and logical time, e.g. the next time a teacher asks a question.

From here on in, please just join as if you were here the whole time. Thank you)

[Jerred Boneman]

"No, Professor, I haven't ever done this, so I'll just imitate what Fin dide." Jerred said, receiving the corked vial.
