Care of Magical Creatures Closed

Alice walked quickly to her next class, Care of Magical Creatures. She was most anticipating it, and had already studied most magical creatures. She was a little disappointed that the class would be inside, and not out in the field, but she supposed that it made sense to start easy. She looked up, thinking that she found the right class, and opened the door. It made an awful creaking sound, and she winced and stood looking around awkwardly until seeing a familiar face. 
"Emma!" she said happily, moving to sit by her. "I didn't know you had Care of Magical Creatures this period too" she said, slightly relieved that there was someone else she knew. She noticed Emmas sketchbook drawings and inspected it, and then the Flobberworm on the desk, carefully. It looked almost identical. 
"Say, that'd really good!" she said, motioning to the drawing. "Not that I, er, was looking over your shoulder or anything. I mean, that, like, I wasn't trying to spy..." she trailed off awkwardly, wondering why she was stumbling over her words so much. She looked away, a light blush creeping up her cheeks, and she brushed her hair out of her face, only for it to fall back down. 

James, who over the summer had read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them over the summer god knows how many times, walked into the classroom eager and excited to learn more about the mystical and magical creatures. He approached the door that he assumed filtered into the classroom, and pushed it without holding the doorknob like he usually did. This made it so he accidently opened the door a bit too loudly, causing a loud sound to come from the door. "Sorry!" James said, hoping he didn't disturb anyone already attending the class. However, to his amazement, there was only two people present. A girl that was drawing the creatures in a sketchbook of hers, and another girl that  was in conversation with the other person. He approached a desk and sat down at it, placing a brown, cloth bag onto the floor of the classroom. Out of his bag, he pulled his copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, as well as a notebook and quill. 

James tapped  on his desk, waiting patiently for the professor to arrive. The classroom was filled with empty seats, and their was no one besides him and another student. A few minutes passed by, and James decided it'd be best to take notes instead of sitting around in the classroom, where nothing would get done on its own. He dipped the feather quill into the inkpot, and tried to not get a stain on his paper by carefully moving his quill in a way that ensured no splotches would taint the paper.

On the professor's desk, James saw a worm-like creature inside of a cage. He noticed and identified it almost immediately, and assumed they were doing something with flobberworms. He took a few notes about the behaviors of the slimy creature, trying to figure out how it behaves and other things he might need to know. He dipped his quill into the inkpot once more, carefully watching the actions of the flobberworm. He had several notes jotted down, but he started to lose patience at the lack of the professor's appearance. He turned to one of the only other people within the classroom, and asked,  "Do you know when the professor will be here?"

Kendra entered the classroom managing to open the door just so she could squeeze herself through, no more no less. She looked around at the people who were already there as she walked towards the professor's desk. 

"Hey Alice!" she spotted the redhead Ravenclaw and felt a little better actually knowing someone that was in the room.

She carefully approached the cage on the teacher's desk curious to take a closer look at the flobberworm. To her disappointment the flobberworm was even more repulsing up close. She winced in disgust and took some steps back. 

"Ew... where are the unicorns already?" she complained while taking a seat close to her classmates. 

She took out some parchment,  a quill and a bottle of ink. Sketching the flobberworm would be a challenge for her. After a while she realised she was making it look far more attractive to the eye than it really was. Her sketch looked more like some kind of exotic caterpillar. "That will have to do." she whispered to herself and took a look around to see what everyone else was up to. 

She had strongly believed this would be her favourite class. Now she was afraid that as first years the ywould go no further from flobberworms and flesh eating slugs.

Alice turned to the boy that just came in, nodding politely at him in way of greeting. She sat quietly after talking with Emma for a moment, trying to sketch the Flobberworm herself and identify it's different parts. Unfortunately for her there didn't really seem to be that many parts, save "body" and "mouth". Just as she was beginning to tire of the Flobberworm the boy spoke. 
"I don't know when they'll be here. We are quite a bit early." She said politely, looking him over. She thought she might have seen him in the Ravenclaw common room before, but couldn't be sure. She was about to ask when another student entered, loudly calling her name. 
"Kendra! We're in the same class, cool!" she said, smiling wide at her friend. She laughed at the face of disgust she made at the Flobberworm before sitting next to her. 
"I don't know, but the Flobberworm is kind of cute, in a way. Look at it, all pink like that" she laughed again as Kendra gave a look of disbelief. 
"Besides, if we're together this class is bound to be fun." Alice smiled again and looked next to her, noticing Emma and the boy again. I guess I should introduce her and Emma, and probably include the boy too she thought, turning back to Kendra. "By the way, this is Emma, shes in Ravenclaw with me. Emma this is Kendra. And what's your name?" she said politely to the boy on the other side of the classroom. 

Kendra was really excited that Alice decided to sit next to her. She smiled brightly at the Ravenclaw and admired her postive spirit and the fact she could see anything remotely cute even in such a disgusting creature as the flobberworm. She found it hard to share her thoughts and didn't try to hide her true feelings but remained positive herself as this class ought to get better and better as the year went by. She grinned as Alice introduced her to the rest of their classmates. 

"It is nice to meet you." she said looking at Emma. 

She then glanced over to the other Ravenclaw boy. So many Ravenclaws in one place... Kendra was aware of the reputation that surrounded them and she felt she should try her best in order to keep up with their wits. She didn't feel intimidated, simply the fact that she was never much of a quick learner made her feel a little out of place. She looked at Emma's sketch noticing how flawless it looked. 

"That looks identical, you are really talented, I can't wait to see other sketches of more... pleasant looking creatures. " she said with a smile. 

Layla was practically out of breath by the time she got to the entrance of her next class, She had been running all the way from Transfiguration class and was so excited to be out!
She smoothed down her unruly hair and standing still for a moment to catch her breath, pushed open the door with one hand while holding her books and quills in the other.

I looked around the room with wide eyes, taking in all the sights and creatures, I saw several students were already in the room, but no professor, " Oh sweet! Guess that means I'm not late!" I thought to myself while smiling happily. I walked up to the front of the room to look inside a cage. I saw a big slimly looking something in the cage. I stood still and stared for a couple minutes before squealing in uncontrolled delight. * it's A NEW CREATURE! Something nobody in the world outside of wizardry has ever seen before! this is amazing!* Definitely not for the first time, I felt overjoyed that I had been born into the wizarding world and could see all these new things, and study them even! * Heck, this is CARE of magical creatures! that means that I might even GET a magical creature in the future! How awesome is that?!*  I then remembered that I was in a classroom and tried to get my facial expressions back down to only slightly excited, then walked to a desk that had one other person sitting at it, "Um... hi everyone! My names Layla!" *just keep your cool, everything's cool, I'm sure everyone squealed about the worm thingie just like me!*

"Hi Alice!" Emma greeted her friend. A new student came in who Alice knew. Her name was Kendra. It's nice to meet you, Kendra!" Emma smiled. Both Alice and Kendra had complimented her drawing, making Emma blush in embarrassment. "It's really not that amazing. Flobberworms aren't too hard to draw." Emma pointed at the body parts of the slimy creature in front of her. "I mean, there's a body, and a mouth." Emma laughed and looked around the room. "Wow, I didn't expect everyone to be so early!" Just then, a girl (who later introduced herself as Layla) ran into the room. She walked over to the Flobberwom cage and was obviously excited about what she saw. She sat there for a long time, staring at the slimy worm and squealing. "Sure are excited about the Flobberworm, huh?" Emma said, making the girl blush. "He is pretty cool. He's not quite as interesting as a unicorn, but he's a pretty good animal for a first lesson. He can't spit fire or anything though." Emma found this last fact slightly disappointing, but she was also glad because she was not at her most focused right now. She hardly got any sleep the night before, so handling a fire-breathing animal would probably not be a good idea. "You guys excited for our first lesson?" She asked. " Because I know I am!"

Lucas hoped that he wasn't late for his first lesson. He wasn't entirely sure what he would need for care of magical creatures so he just brought everything; well, except for a few books that were obviously not related to the subject. Starting to open the door, he stopped as soon as the loud creaking started. He didn't want to draw attention to himself, standing in front of the slightly ajar door for longer than most people would.

It was stupid, he had to go in. Convincing himself, his hand slowly opened the door just enough for himself to slip in, the loud noise echoing around the classroom. He decided that closing the door would only make more noise so he left it open. The professor needed to enter anyway.

Looking around, he knew no one. There was one girl that he thought he had seen in the common room but had never spoken to her. "Wow, what is that?" he said to no one in particular as he walked over to the caged animal. To Lucas, it looked like a living croissant made out of jelly, though he didn't say that out loud; it would make him look stupid. 

Over the summer, he had had a quick flick through Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, though it seemed as though he didn't retain as much information as he would have liked. He wanted to do well in this class, it was the one he was most excited about, as well as learning spells.

Noticing he was at the front of the class, he found a desk to sit at, getting out a quill, the book on magical creatures and something to write on before tucking his bag under the desk. He waited silently, looking at the people around him before realising that quills needed ink, retrieving it from the bag under the desk.
