Of all the classes they were taking at Hogwarts, Care of Magical Creatures was Eulalia’s absolute favourite. She had a head start on it as well; her mum worked for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the ministry and was always bringing her ‘work’ home with her. Her other mother had a lifelong fear of spiders now, thanks to a confiscated shipment of acromantula eggs hatching into dozens of baby spiders in their sitting room. But whether it was Grindylows in the bathtub or baby dragons in the basement, Eulalia always just thought it was neat.

Recently, they’d been given a research project on a Magical Creature of their choice. Eulalia and some of the girls from the dorm were working on it together in the common room when they had the idea to go down to the Care of Magical Creatures classroom and take a look at some of the creatures themselves. If the other two were anything like Eulalia (and given their house, she wouldn’t be surprised!) they must also be having a hard time choosing- there were so many interesting options to pick from!

Eulalia had been quiet on the long walk down from the Tower, but as they walked across the grounds and the CoMC hut came into sight, her face lit up and she became altogether more animated. "What kind of things do you think they have?" she asked. Being first years, their own lessons had remained fairly pedestrian (unfortunately!). But they would have to have creatures from every class, right up to Seventh Year. Unicorns, Nifflers, maybe even a Hippogrif! "Think we'll get to see something cool?"
