Kneazles by Professor Jinx
Jinx stood in front of the class, looking out at the students with a smile. "Welcome to Care of Magical Creatures. My name is Professor Tremaine Rockwell, but I would appreciate it if you would call me Professor Jinx. Since it's your first class and first year here, I decided to start off with something easy."She turned around and leaned over behind the desk, picking up three cat carriers and placing them on it. Jinx opened one and pulled out a speckled ginger cat. Turning so the class could see, she held the animal in her arms. "This is Mungojerrie. Does anyone know what he is? And no, saying he is a cat is not the answer I'm looking for," she said with a grin.
Mungojerrie glanced around with golden eyes at the students in the room, tail swishing back and forth as he regarded them.\n\n

the chemist by Jenna H
Jenna sat in the back corner of the class. Even before she walked in, she knew this wasn't going to be her favorite class.Jenna wanted to be the magical version of what muggles might call a chemist. She wanted to make new potions to solve all sorts of problems. Unfortunately, many potions contained body parts (such as eyes, fangs, and scales) of different animals. Jenna was afraid she might have to see the animals whole and alive here. And that would make her lose her nerve when making potions.
She squinted at the strange looking would-be cat. What was it indeed? For, in all of her magical knowledge, she could not place exactly what it was. Wait! She remembered the name started with a "k"! But that wouldn't help her much, now would it...\n\n

First class by Ty
OOC: As I sort of missed the other classes, figured I would post here... I'll pretend that timelines don't exist I suppose. :)IC: Ty had a basic knowledge of magical creatures, seeing as she was pureblood. She even knew that it was a kneazle, since her good friend's mom bred them. However, she didn't particularly want to tell the answer for the simple reason that she didn't care, and would rather be taking pictures. Speaking of which...
As quietly as she could, she pulled out her camera and focused it on the kneazle's face, waiting for the right moment. She bit her lip, hoping she wouldn't be stopped before she got the perfect picture... if only the kneazle would hold still!
SNAP!
Ty, feeling quite pleased with herself, had managed to get the kneazle right when he was looking straight at the camera. She quietly slipped her camera back in her bag. It was unlikely that the teacher had not noticed, but with any luck she didn't care. Just to be sure she was in Jinx's good graces, she raised her hand to give the answer. Teachers were supposed to like students that raised their hands, right?\n\n

oh yeah... classes... by Stephen Baxter
OOC: Timelines exist?!!! BIC:Stephen was right in the midst of the group of students, and quite happy to be so. Especially as this class had turned out to be some kind of cat appreciation thing. Well, magical cat appreciation anyhow. He had well broadcast views on cats, mundane (as he heard Zack call them) or otherwise - Alan said they were pests, so Stephen said they were pests. Except when his mother was around anyhow; she liked them.
Truth be told, Stephen could take them or leave them, but generally perfered to do the latter.
That was why, while he was sitting in the midst of things, he could pay more attention to things other than the 'pest' up with the professor. Like that interesting click for example. Turning, he caught sight of a girl finishing putting something in her bag.
Naturally, he left his desk and moved closer to investigate.
Unceremoniously throwing open the bag, he peered inside without giving the girl a chance to stop him. She had some kind of camera!
"Neat," Stephen said, although he didn't find her choice of subject vastly exciting. But then, maybe she was having difficulty finding anything else to photograph. Not being in the least camera shy (he was more prone to throwing himself in front of the lens in the most ridiculous manner he could think of) Stephen decided that he should do something to help the poor girl out.
He eyed the magical cat thing and wondered how it would look as a hat, as a wide grin started to take over his face. \n\n

Don't touch the camera! by Ty
OOC: Maybe not. I heard that they actually do in real life, whatever that is. BIC:Staring off into space, TY was brought out of her reveries by a boy opening her bag. Ty resisted the urge to cringe as he opened the bag and looked inside. No one got near her camera with out permission. They could take, touch, mutilate, slaughter, or melt anything else she owned, but not her camera. At least he hadn't touched it.
"Yah, neat", she said vaguely, lifting up her hand to push hair out of her face, before realizing that there was none of the usually fuzzy mass, as she had tied it back so it wouldn't get into her eyes. Her hair was one of the many things that annoyed her immensely. It was such an inconvienience. "This class is pretty boring", she whispered to him. "Nothing to really photo either", she added wistfully.\n\n

No, no, no... that's your job. by Stephen
OOC: Real life? Where do you hear of these odd concepts? BIC:That decided it for Stephen... well it was the feather touch that pushed him into action. The grin now set in active place, he started up toward the front of the class, the cat creature firmly in his sights.
With barely an "excuse me" to Professor Jinx, he grabbed hold of the cat and with it yowling in protest and scratching one of his arms (Oww! Stupid cat) he plonked it ontop of his head, and turned, presenting the class with the image of average sized boy, dancing around like a maniac, with a none-to-happy speckled red wig.\n\n
