Care of Magical Creatures: Lesson One - Unicorns (All Years)

For Elyah, it was her first lesson. She still hadn't adapted to all these new things in her life, but she was trying. She indeed was.
But was she ready to face her first lesson of magic? She knew it was called Care of Magical Creatures, COMC for short, so it had to do with creatures. Animals. Just please, no cats, was all she was thinking as she got closer and closer to where the lesson would take place.

It was out in the Grounds, something she was thankful for, cause she loved some fresh air. It was nice, it was calming. It was just what she needed for her first lesson in Hogwarts.

Dressed in her Hufflepuff uniform, she pulled her hair in a bun as she arrived at her lesson, smiling at the Professor warmly. "Hello Professor!"
Peering behind him she saw two unicorns, that made her eyes widen and her smile too.
"Are these... unicorns? REAL ONES?"

She was excited. After sorting everything out with TJ and Sapphire, and making sure she believed they hated each other from now on, since Sapphire simply threatened TJ, she was trying to move on and forget all this. Of course she had not given up on TJ, since they were together, officially, but they were very very careful about it.

So Amethyst was now excited to continue her pretty much normal and boring -once again- life. Walking out of the Common Room, she checked her schedule, smiling as Care of Magical Creatures seemed to be the case this morning.


Care of Magical Creatures was a lovely lesson, that also helped her learn more about creatures such as unicorns, hipogriffs... even werewolves. So she surely was taking this lesson, if it meant that she would be provided with enough information to help TJ in case he ever needed something.

It didn't take long for her to arrive at the lesson area, and she smiled as she saw her Ancient Runes Professor... suddenly being her COMC Professor.
The Headmaster sure got bored easily, it seemed, and a small giggle escaped her lips at the thought.

"Greetings, Professor!"

Her eyes landed on TJ, and she immediately smiled as she quickly moved next to him, waving at the two younger students with a sweet smile, and recognizing the girl to be of her own house.
"Hello, I am Amethyst. I'd love to help you if you need anything!"

Amethyst then noticed the two amazing creatures standing there. How could she not notice earlier? Turning to TJ, she smiled widely and nudged him. "Aren't they so beautiful?!"

Hogwarts was not what she expected even if it was her third year there. The uniforms were peasant clothing, something she would never dare to wear outside of the silly old castle. Her father would have a conundrum if she - Severine Charlot - wore something so hideous, so ill-made around his palace. However the girl was not at his palace, instead she was at Wizarding school so she could learn to harness her magic, a Wizarding school she chose to go to nonetheless - she'd almost rather have gone to Beauxbaxtons.

Severine glanced down to her timetable. She'd already gotten lost several times since the year begun and each time it only caused her to become more angry. It was almost like she was a first year all over again. Eventually, the girl made it to the grounds and ran into her first class - Care of Magical Creatures.

She didn't particularly care for being outdoors nor did she care for any creatures that wasn't cats in particular, dogs. Severine hated dogs almost as much as she hated impure blood. She grimaced, her mind clearly not liking the fact that her body was currently in such a disgusting place adorned in such hideous clothing.

When she reached the class, it was clear that they were to be studying unicorns which didn't seem to be too bad, however it seemed that she was to socialise with people who were not worthy of her friendship and that was just not going to happen.

Gwen loved magical creatures. She felt like she related to them the most. Even if she was human. She felt as if she spoke their language, and understood them. Which was why, Care of Magical Creatures was one of the first classes she signed up for. But what she didn't realize, was that the class was taught by the headmaster. A person she didn't particularly like. Mainly because he set rules that forbade her to do things that she thought were fun. Like for example, making the first floor corridor completely ice.

She hoped the stuttering prefect wasn't in her class. The Ravenclaw boy would sure tell on her if he were in here, and that would put a damper on her mood. Particularly when she saw what the lesson was about. Unicorns. Unicorns where fantastic creatures. She LOVED the fact that their blood was so precious that people would kill for it. Not that she would, but it was tempting.

Unicorns weren't all they seemed to be, and that was another reason why Gwen loved them. In ways, they reminded her of herself. For her, looks weren't everything. It was what mattered on the inside. And that's what Gwen thought of other people too. She didn't judge by their looks, she judged by what was inside. And that was why she was most excited for today's lesson.

She made her way to the grounds. Gwen had never actually seen a unicorn, and when she saw the beautiful creatures in the cages, her eyes went big in wonder. Maybe the headmaster wasn't all that bad, even if he did make the rules that got her in trouble. Because now, Gwen was speechless. And that was a first.

Violet was apathetic to school beginning, once more. Previously she had found the whole routine quite mundane, but once she'd resolved to herself that yes, she did in fact need school if she wanted a career not involving interaction with people or smelling like fries at the end of the shit, she would need to actually try. She did go quite well, to the annoyance of her teachers, despite no real effort in previous years, but was by no means exceptional. This year would be different. She wouldn't change her thoughts, her attitudes to people, but she would definitely put more effort in than she had before.

She strolled casually to the area where she saw a small gathering of people, who she assumed was the class for CoMC, and stood with them. Violet didn't generally bother with greetings, so she stood in silence, waiting for the class to begin so she could get it over with already.

CoMC was clearly not one of Lucy's favourite subjects. Animals in general were not her strong suit. The only enticing thing about the subject was the fact that this lesson was about unicorns, one of her favourite fantasies from her childhood. Of course, here at Hogwarts, they were a reality. That was one of the most amazing things about magic, myths and legends taught by muggles could actually be genuine. And that, to her, was enticing enough for her to put up with learning about even unfavourable animals, and being outside. Lucy was more of an indoors sort of person. The outdoors only appealed to her when it was night time and there was a party.

She walked down to the area where she saw the gathering of people and gave the headmaster a smile while she waited for the class to begin, excited to actually see a unicorn.
