Care of Magical Creatures Year Level: Third Residing professor: Professor Alistair York Class itinerary: Today each student will pair up with a niffler, to hunt for Leprechaun gold that has been buried in the surrounding area. Whoever finds the most gold will be rewarded. Students will have been warned against wearing jewelry, or anything that is noticeably metallic or shimmery, as nifflers have been known to bite. |

The day was a cold one and Professor York pulled his hood in further over his head. With any luck, the rain would let up. Although his third years had long since grown used to participating in outdoor lessons with less than favourable weather. The man stood outside his hut. A large patch of overturned dirt was in front of him. As though someone had tilled the soil to start a garden. Ali had rather enjoyed setting up for this class. It felt like Easter had come a month early. Unfortunately nifflers had never seemed all too interested in sniffing out chocolate. These nifflers were a particularly friendly lot. There was one trouble maker, Berne, that rather enjoyed nipping at jewelry. They were huddling under a tarp that had been set up, eating their breakfast, upon the realization that the day wasn't going to be all sunshine and smiles. He had not had the time to set up something similar above the patch where the coins were hidden. When all was said and done, he'd buried 50 or so coins and hoped it would be enough to keep his students occupied through an entire time slot. | |

Bianca walked over to the professor along with the rest of her class. "Good morning,", she quipped happily, in a much better mood than before breakfast. She noticed the nifflers, and smiled at the adorable things. Then she remembered the horror stories she had heard about nifflers and people not taking off their jewelry, and rushed to take off her earrings, delicate gold necklace, and ring, looking around for a place to store them safely away from those horrendous creatures. | |

Frankie, who quite often had the bright idea of checking her lesson plan, showed up without any of her usual accessories. She wore a plain uniform, her heavier robes, and it even appeared to be her own size. She shifted from foot to foot, feeling increasingly uncomfortable. The nifflers were absolutely adorable, with long snouts and short black fur. Frankie's heart, of course, set immediately upon the one who kept trying to push everyone else out into the rain. She was rather predictable when it came to things like this. Rain bouncing off her as she walked, she pulled her cloak tighter around her, and bent down close to the small creatures. She gave them a lopsided smile, "Hey," Frankie held out a hand, and waited for one of them to come over. |

Gage wandered straight from Transfiguration to Care of Magical Creatures. He had always enjoyed the rain. The vivid colouring of the greenery had always appealed to him. Although he wasn't particularly excited about the lesson. It was a huge step up from flobberworms, sure. But nifflers sort of creeped him out. The boy was half way through fixing his scarf when he bumped into a Slytherin girl. The Hufflepuff jerked backwards, as if stung, even though he had only brushed her with his shoulder. "Uh, sorry." The Hufflepuff was quick to apologize, although the sincerity of the words were highly questionable. The boy had a way of making even the simplest things seem sarcastic. Especially when he was embarrassed by his actions. "Didn't see you there." | |

Alice meandered into Care of Magical Creatures, brimming with excitement. She had heard so many stories about Nifflers; when she had found out that they would be studying them in class, she had nearly burst with joy. Her grandmother had a penchant for telling outrageous tales of magical creatures whenever she had one too many glasses of bourbon; to actually come face to face with one of her childhood 'characters' was like a dream come true. Or maybe she was just being dramatic. Who was to judge? She had taken special care to remove her jewelry. While Alice wasn't one for flashy pieces, her grandmother had given her a lovely pair of Goblin gold earrings for her thirteenth birthday and had deliberately taken them out the night before to avoid any unfortunate incidents. Her eyes scanned the nifflers as she crouched down to take a better look. One Niffler stayed towards the back, watching protectively over the rest of its brethren. Alice felt her heart melt. It was just. so. cute. "Hey, little buddy." She cooed, "You want to look for some gold with me?" Alice held her hand out for the creature to sniff. It looked at her suspiciously and Alice had a sinking feeling that it would take a long time for the Niffler to warm up to her. Still, Alice was determined. The little black ball of adorableness would love her. She would makes sure of it. She grinned at Frankie, who she had knelt next too. The other girl had the common sense to remain standing; Alice could feel the mud seeping into her tights. Her mother would throw a fit when she found out Alice had ruined yet another pair. "Aren't they just adorable?" Her grin grew as the Niffler took a hesitant step toward her. "A nice change from Blast-Ended Skrewts, huh?" |

Dolly wrinkled her nose as she pulled her coat tighter. "I've seen house elves that are cuter," She hissed. Dolly wore no jewelry as requested by the professor. Her favorite locket remained locked-up in her trunk in the dorm. "Am I going to have to get my boots dirty?" She motioned to the mud on the ground. Puddles had formed as a consequence from the rain. "Great," Dolly rolled her eyes. "I'm stuck with a fur of ball to lead me through the forest to look for gold - I've already got a lot, why do I need more gold?" Lolita sighed as she crossed her arms. She wished Ariella was there to snicker at the Hufflepuffs. "Hey, you went to my party, right?" She asked Alice. "Yeah, I recognize you." |

Alice looked up as Dolores approached. She nodded, giving the Slytherin a wide smile. "I did!" She replied easily, "It was lovely, though I don't believe we talked much." Or at all. Though that likely had to do with the fact that Vivian was incapable of getting to a party earlier than an hour after it was supposed to start. Better to arrive late than to arrive ugly. She would drawl. Alice was pretty sure she would rather arrive ugly, but maybe that was just her. She didn't quite understand what about over the top makeup was all that 'pretty' though her mother claimed that was exactly what her problem was. "Talk about a birthday party." Alice continued, face brightening as the Niffler stumbled forward a few more feet. Maybe she would send her grandmother some of the gold; the old woman certainly didn't need anymore but she'd always had an affinity for the metal. "My brothers were absolutely raving about the fireworks you had." |

Nifflers! They were studying Nifflers! They were so cute! They looked like Caroline's dog, Porky (that name came from a rather long story) and they loved shiny things. Mille could relate, shiny things were pretty awesome. But instead of a super shiny hairclip, she'd grabbed a bow and tied her hair half-back. Mille wasn't stupid. Porky did look cute, but he could still get you pretty good with his claws. Like Caroline's ex boyfriend. Ah, good times. Mille was fairly good with animals, though, so she skipped over to the nifflers. She was awestruck. She'd only seen nifflers in books before, they were just...... really, really adorable. "Hi, Professor York!" She hollered to the Professor, giving him a wave. This was going to be brilliant. Mille wasn't sure which niffler to choose, but that job was chosen for her as she was shot a pitiful look by one of the nifflers who'd just been passed over by another student. He-- or she, Mille wasn't sure which it was-- looked like a kicked puppy. Well, Mille would fix that. Said niffler turned out to be right next to a Gryffindor whom Mille hadn't really talked to before, talking to......what was her name? Delores? Dolly? One of the Slytherins whom Mille probably annoyed the hell out of. Ah, well. Mille couldn't please everyone. Besides, it wasn't like they talked often. Mille figured she could be mistaken. "Hi, I'm Mille. Aren't the adorable?" She turned back to her niffler, who seemed to be grinning at her. "Yeah, hon, you're super cute. Do you have a name? You ought to, I can't just call you 'thing' all class period. How about I call you.....hmm, what about Lee? That can be unisex, yeah?" She didn't want to offend him, if he was a proud male, with a name like Nancy or something. Though he probably didn't understand human speech, but Mille noticed that he liked it when she scratched him under the snout. |

Bianca, in the middle of taking off her jewelry, was startled as a Hufflepuff boy bumped into her, causing her necklace to fall to the floor. She immediately turned to see the boy who was now apologizing. She smiled when she saw it was only an accident, going against her more instinctive response, which was of course to make some smart comment about grace. "Its okay," She replied instead, seeing that he was obviously shy. Seeing that her day wasn't going to get any brighter by talking to Dolores Draper, she decided to make conversation. "You're scarf's off center," she remarked jokingly, and bent down to retrieve her necklace. | |

Well, at least she wasn't angry. Gage'd been anticipating some sort of snide remark. Probably would have deserved it too, considering he'd managed to knock her necklace into the mud. "Yea," Although he felt she might have been hoping for a laugh, none seemed to be forthcoming. "Uhm." The Hufflepuff hesitated, his hands now caught between fixing his scarf and lunging to retrieve the necklace that had been dropped. By the time he had decided, she was leaning down too and he managed to collide their heads together. "Crap, sorry." This escaped as he wobbled dangerously from the impact. One hand rose up to rub dejectedly at his forehead, inadvertently shoving the toque up his head as he did so. Giving up now would probably be prudent. Still, his hand had found the necklace first and he offered it to Bianca without straightening. Perhaps Professor York would take pity on the disheveled Puff and allow him a free period in the Hospital Wing. | |

Bianca laughed when the Hufflepuff boy accidentally knocked heads with her. "I'm sorry, I'm not the most coordinated person on the planet. Thanks for the necklace." Bianca took it and straightened, realizing that now both her necklace, and robes had mud on them. Looking at the Hufflepuff, she noticed his half- done scarf had come undone, now soaked in mud as well. Seeing him crouching there, muddy scarf and all, she started laughing again. She couldn't help it, he just looked so... sheepish. She held out her hand, "Want some help up?" and took his hand. She had intending to pull him up, but found herself slipping in the mud and falling forward. Despite the chilly weather, her face felt warm as she giggled in embarrassment, reprimanding herself for not remembering that she had the arm strength of a T.Rex. | |

Amelia shivered as she stood looking at the nifflers, it was a cold day and she had forgotten to put on an extra layer. Her eyes scanned the area around her and she began to wonder if she would even find anything this day. Her teeth chattered together making an unusual rhythm. Her head moved as she looked at the hut that stood in front of her and the forest that surrounded them, she only came down here to classes but she thought that maybe some times she could just sit down here. For quiet, for thinking space. She looked over to the others that had turned up and began to walk over. Running a hand through her hair she stepped up to the group and looked around smiling. “What you guys on about” Amelia said pulling her jumper further around her and pulling her arms up into her sleeves. |

Jane appeared beside Amelia, blue eyes narrowed as she looked over Bianca and Gage. "Probably teaming up to get more gold," She paused to kick aside a mountain of mud that had formed beside her shoe. "But you never know. Girls like Bianca could turn their backs on you and end up taking everything." Jane offered an apologetic smile, but it was hallow. She glanced at the huddle of nifflers under the tarp. Small, unsuspecting little creatures that the children would use to complete their class objective for the day. Jane gave Professor York a nod before she turned to Amelia. "You want to team up?" |

Dolly smiled politely as Alice talked about her birthday party. It was over five months ago, but Dolores was not accustomed to declaring herself 14-years-of-age. "Thanks," She said, smugness etched on every feature of her young face. "Yeah, the Weasley's were pretty generous on their products. My dad sent an owl with a check. They weren't invited though, because," Dolly paused to glance at Amelia several feet away. She lowered her voice so the other Gryffindor could not hear the two. "She's a halfblood. And you know..." The Weasley blood status was the justification for the Wickhams to not invite them to their manor. The Weasley's did not hold a grudge however, and continued to offer their services for Dolores' birthday party. "And who's to say that you won't do the same?" Dolly piped at Jane. "You practically turned your back on Carmen after she started dating Teddy." Lolita winkled her nose at the Ravenclaw. "I just want to get out of this rain." groaned Dolores. "I'll give someone all of my gold if they go and get me an umbrella from the castle." |

Amelia looked over to Jane and shrugged to her. She wasn’t too bothered with trying to get the most gold, she just wanted to get inside where the warm fire was. She’d even walk into the Slytherin common room, sit in the fire place and say hello to everyone just to get a bit of warmth into her system. Maybe it was a bit dramatic, but who cares. She was freezing her fingers off and it wasn’t even winter yet. As Jane spoke Amelia nodded a bit in agreement, she didn’t know Bianca and from the outside she didn’t seem like a friendly sort of person. But before she could comment Dolly, a Slytherin her family catered for occasionally, jumped to the point and defended her fellow housemate. It wasn’t a surprise, Slytherin’s seemed to stick together the same way other houses did. The mention of Carmen made Amelia begin to think about the whole situation with their families, it had to be hard for her. Having to deal with her mother being pregnant, her being possibly hunted by evil people and on top of that being yelled at and spoken about by practically the whole school because she was sating a Wickham. Wow, that is a lot. “People shouldn’t judge others on who they want to be with. Although, I mean, isn’t that practically the whole Pureblood society though?” Amelia looked between both of them before shrugging. “Then again gossip would happen with anyone who got with someone. Our year feasts on the information of others, devours it whole. Like a snake.” Amelia shrugged; she turned back to Jane and smiled nodding. “Sure why not, may as well get competitive.” She rubbed her hands together and breathed into them, it was meant to be warm god damn it. |

Mille smiled at the other two nearest to her. Another brunette Gryffindor that Mille couldn't put a name to.......and......Jane? Mille was pretty sure she'd heard the Ravenclaw's name in the corridor a couple of times. "Any room for a third? She asked, when she heard they were teaming up. "You know, we could put our heads together and all. She smiled brightly at the thought. It would be much more fun looking for gold in a group. "I'm Mille, by the way. Mille Osset. I'm calling this precious thing over here Lee." |

Alice waved as Amelia walked over, Jane beside her. "Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is amazing." Alice agreed as Dolly talked about the catering. "My mother once ordered fireworks all the way in the United States and they sent them, no problem at all." Dolly was actually turning out to be surprisingly pleasant. No blood purity, no talk about Dark Magic, hell, she was even talking kindly about the Weasleys. Perhaps Alice had pegged her all wrong. "She's a half-blood." Alice bristled. She could almost hear Vivian screaming at her to be quiet, to think before she spoke but Alice could hardly believe that the Slytherin had the gall to say such a thing out loud. Sure there had been underlying tones of 'Purebloods only' when Alice had gone to Dolly's birthday but to be so forthright about the reason Amelia wasn't invited made Alice sick to her stomach. "What of it?" She drawled out, her voice dripping with saccharine sweetness. Her grin was forced, Alice's attempt to keep her teeth from clenching. Dolly, Amelia, and Jane exchanged some snappy comments, Alice trying to remain neutral. Yes, she had an intense dislike of Bianca Medici but Alice knew better than to openly argue. Her mother had taught her well. No one has to ever know you're angry with them. The best kind of fighting is the underhanded kind, the whispers here and there, the rumors spread at the dinner table. Love, learn to be sneaky and you'll never have to learn to fight. Alice was pretty sure that her mother would have been a Slytherin had she attended Hogwarts. Alice let out a laugh as Dolly complained about the rain. "I may just take you up on that offer, if only to get inside. If this Niffler would just hurry up already, I'd be done faster." The Niffler gave her a dirty look in response. Alice send it an equally stormy one back. |

Gage's ears were burning, to say the least. It was hard to distinguish if her laughter was of the sort he shouldn't take personally. Even still, he was inclined to like the fact that she had yet to thoroughly tell him off. So he remained squatting in the mud, his scarf slowly merging with the ground until the Slytherin girl prompted him. A smile was managed. Maybe she was not so bad. "Thanks, but, better not, with our luck we'll both wind up in the mud." So he straightened and tried not to look too embarrassed by the events that had occurred. The Hufflepuff attempted to straighten himself, his muddy hand managed to both smear his toque and worsen the condition of his scarf in the process. He did manage to notice this predicament before getting any on his face, thankfully. "I think I might know a- uh--" The boy paused as he noticed a gaggle of females talking, one of which shot them a rather unsettling look. He attempted to ignore the thought that people might be talking about him in a negative fashion. Or Bianca, for that matter. It wasn't as though he had the nerve to tell them off. Honestly, he'd made enough of an arse out of himself. So what if someone had noticed? "A spell to help clean the mud off, if you like." Even still, his offer to make amends was finished meekly. | |

Bianca smiled and looked down at her own mud soaked clothes. Sure! She was happy he was at least talking. She wondered if maybe she was being too friendly, and, judging by the uncomfortable look on his face, decided she was. She instantly felt bad, and her smile disappeared. That's really nice of you to offer. My name's Bianca, by the way. Bianca Medici. She figured she could at least give him her name. She saw him looking at something behind her, and turned to see some girls talking and occasionaly glancing over. It didnt bother her immensely, as she was used to gossip and, occasionally, gossipping, behind people's back, but she realized that the hufflepuff probably felt otherwise, judging by the tone with which he was talking all of a sudden. She looked at the necklace in her hand, and decided to sacrifice it if it meant getting the girls back, quickly formulated a plan to throw off their nifflers. She quicly decided against it, once she realized some of her housemates were there. She thought it would be fair to let them know she knew they were talking about them first, however, and she flashed a rude hand gesture behind her back. She was on mission "have a good day" and wasn't about to let some snarky girls ruin it. She just hoped she didn't make some new enemies for the sake of a new friend.
