Lesson Two 1st - 5th Years by Professor Murphy
Rois Murphy, a woman in her fifties, a woman who had lived a long and wonderful life, was standing in the center of the clearing waiting for the first of the students to arrive. From the information left to her from the previous Care of Magical Creatures Professor, the one she was replacing until further notice, it seemed as though most classes were broken up so as to experience the different creatures at levels that their age can handle.Seemed reasonable enough, but Rois liked to teach all ages while they interacted with one another. It was entertaining and a wonderful learning experience for all.
There was also mentions of contacts who knew of the situation and were waiting to find which creatures Rois would be requesting. The list of those contacts, address, and the creatures they had available were waiting in the office for Rois to decide. It was nice being the one to decide what to teach and not having everything set and prepared for her. Most substitutes had to go strictly by what was left by the previous Professor. It was rare to have such freedoms.
Rois was not a fragile woman by any means. She had always had an active life. White hair down to her chin, grey eyes hinting at amusement, body small, but aggressive in stance. She was a mother and a grandmother, she could handle even the worst of them This was going to be a new lesson for them all. All the classes together with a new Professor. It was supposed to be fun.
When the students were to enter the clearing, the first thing they would see was more likely going to be her, but what should really catch their attention was the golden foal unicorn that was standing beside her. "Good Afternoon everyone!" Rois greeted them. "My name is Professor Murphy and I'll be your new Care of Magical Creatures teacher for the time being. I'm not sure how your previous professor conducted her classes, so I'm just going to tell you a few rules that I have." Rois shot a stern look at a couple of students who were snickering.
"There will be no talking unless there is a project and I allow you time to work on it. You are to wear proper attire while in this class for your own protection. You are to listen to everything that I say when it comes to handle the creatures. I don't want to have to worry about loss of limb." Rois smiled, her Maine accent was thick, but she figured they could understand her just fine.
"Now, this beautiful creature is called a foal. It's a female unicorn. Unicorns are the purest of creatures. They are what oose innocence. Often times, they are hunted for all the wrong reasons. Their horns can be found in some potions and their tail hair in wands. Their blood, however, can give longevitity. However, it is against Wizard's law to slay a Unicorn or use it's blood. Now, unfortunately, they are only really comfortable around the females, so I would like for the girls in the class to get in a line to pet the creatures. Boy, if you'd be so kind as to stand a bit back and take notes, that would be wonderful."

*eyes wide* They are real?? (TAG: Professor Murphy) by Gwyneth
Gwyneth was surprised to see such a gather of students in the field as she approached the CoMC class. At first she wondered what was going on. Had she missed some announcement for an assembly? When she finally realized that they, everybody in the school apparently, were all in the same class, her heart dropped. She had hoped to find Jae or Meri or someone else she knew, but in this crowd that would probably be impossible. So she found a relatively quiet place in the crowd to listen to the teacher.When the substitute, Professor Murphy, showed up instead of Professor K, Gwyneth was surprised yet again. She thought it was just for this one class (maybe Professor K was sick?). But from the way the new teacher introduced herself and "her" rules, Gwyneth understood that this was a long-term sub. The way Professor Murphy went on about proper attire for their own protection and not wanting to worry about loss of limbs made Gwyneth wonder just they were getting in for.
After all that cautionary talk, Gwyneth couldn't believe her eyes when the professor stepped aside. She had been expecting something dangerous and big, with lots of teeth and claws. Maybe even a dragon, since the older kids were here. What she saw was a . . . pony?? No, a unicorn, according to the professor, she thought. She listened carefully to the brief lecture about the magical uses of the unicorn. Why would anyone hurt such a pretty thing just to get hair or horns or blood or whatever? she wondered.
Startled when she heard the teacher ask the boys to step back, she wondered if she really wanted to touch the magical creature. As she slowly lined up with all the other girls to pet the unicorn, she glanced at the boys. It really didn't seem fair that they had to take notes while the girls got to pet the golden foal. As her turn approached, she timidly raised her hand and asked the teacher, "Professor Murphy, why would the unicorn be so sensitive around the boys? Would the boys be able to touch a male unicorn?" Her face registered both confusion and an innate sense that this wasn't fair. She knew that if roles had been reversed, she would have been uncomfortable and a bit hurt at missing this opportunity. If the unicorns were so sensitive, then there should have been a male foal for the boys to see up close.

...Yes by Professor Murphy
Rois stood there watching as the girls came up and the boys drew back. She wasn't so old that she didn't notice the looks of anger on some of the boys faces. Those looks were meant for her and she wondered if they would have given those same looks at their previous professor. Of course they didn't know that she was only following the advice from the contact that allowed her use of this young unicorn in the first place, and had they been listening, she clearly stated that Unicorns were only a bit more comfortable around females than males. She could have just given them another boring lesson with some miniscule animal that they would have complained about. She knew she wouldn't have been able to win either way.Her gray eyes narrowed as the young redhead asked her a question. "Animals, both magical and non, use their senses of smell and their keen instincts to judge their surroundings. Males have been known to be more aggressive and they give off a different scent due to their hormones." Rois answered. "I'm not saying that the boys wouldn't be able to pet them, but because there are so many of them, it's best if they just stand back and watch."
Rois looked out at all the students, she cleared her throat and her crisp voice shout out for all to hear, "I hope you were all listening to that, I wouldn't want you all to miss something that may possibly be on your exams."
OOC: Sorry it took me long to respond, RL has had it's ups and downs and it's hard for me to keep up with everything. I'll try to do better in the future.

But . . . by Gwyneth
Gwyneth listened carefully to Professor Murphy's answer to her question. She had really hoped to hear a solid reason why the boys were asked to step back. She completely understood when Professor Murphy said, "Animals, both magical and non, use their senses of smell and their keen instincts to judge their surroundings." That made sense. She knew that dogs and cats and other animals back home could sense when someone was mean or afraid or such. But that surely didn't apply to all the boys at this school.The professor's next statement completely surprised her. Males have been known to be more aggressive and they give off a different scent due to their hormones. That was such an. . . an . . . exaggeration? No, that wasn't the word her mother had used once when she was angrily describing the time some student in her class had said that boys were naturally better at some things than girls were. Generalization? Yes, that was it! That was such a generalization and it really didn't fit the boys here at school, at least as far as she could tell. The only time they were "aggressive" was during those silly Quidditch matches, and the girls on the team were just as rough! So why weren't those girls told to step back, she wondered.
She looked back at the boys and saw her friend Jae and then saw Josiah from Charms Club. Jae looked upset, well, for Jae - - he actually looked unhappy for a few seconds. She knew how much he loved horses. It was part of most conversations with him! Most of the other boys looked kinda angry or confused. She just felt that something about this class wasn't right and she didn't know what to do!
Gwyneth heard someone behind her cough and clear her throat. And she thought she heard a couple girls' voices ask what the hold up in line was. Gwyneth realized that she was the hold up. It was her turn to approach the unicorn and she just stood there, caught up in this stupid dilemma!
'Grams always said to trust your heart. If it doesn't feel right, then you probably shouldn't be doing it,' she thought to herself. With one last look at the beautiful golden unicorn, Gwyneth stepped out of the line to pet the foal and walked over toward the boys! She didn't know if she was going to get into trouble for this. She didn't mean to disrupt the class and she certainly didn't mean any disrespect to the teacher. But her heart said that petting the unicorn wouldn't be right if everyone wasn't given the same opportunity.

Yeah. Now you know how we feel. by Oliver Abbott
What a waste! They had all been called together for this great big lesson with the five lower years, and the boys weren’t even supposed to take part. That was just stupid. Plus, it was an outdoor lesson so Oliver was wearing his hat and sunglasses, and he really didn’t like to draw attention to himself by dressing differently when it wasn’t necessary. Still, he didn’t care all that much about unicorns, so Oliver just pushed off to one side like he was told and took up a spot on a comfy-looking patch of grass. He sat idly pulling up small clumps with his fingers as he watched the girls coo at and pet the silly creature. Then there was one girl who, after a couple of words from the Professor-who-wasn’t-Kijewski, jumped right out of the queue and headed his direction.“Not fancy the unicorn?” Oliver asked, looking up at her from his position on the ground. She was in his year, he knew that much, but he hadn’t ever spoken to her. He wouldn’t have now, either, except that he was bored and curious as to why she’d decided to forgo the lesson. Unless she was really a boy in disguise – he sniggered inwardly.

So, how's life in the back of the bus, er . . class? by Gwyneth
“Not fancy the unicorn?”Gwyneth turned to located the speaker as she walked away from the line of girls waiting their turn to pet the unicorn foal. She thought she recognized the boy from other classes but realized that she didn't really know him more than as a face. She wasn't sure why he had that smirk on his face after asking his question, but she was too steamed at the situation to think about it.
"It's not the unicorn I don't . . . 'fancy', it's the prejudice!" she replied rather hotly, flipping her auburn pony tail to accentuate her frustration. Without stopping to consider that she really didn't know this boy, she continued, "What a stupid generalization. 'Males are traditionally too aggressive.' What a bunch of baloney! The girls who play that silly Quidditch game are just as aggressive as the boys . . . and they don't have to step back. I have never heard of such a stupid, . . . idiotic, . . . outright ridiculous comment from a teacher." As her rant sputtered to an end, she suddenly realized that she probably should have kept her mouth shut. After all, she didn't know this teacher, or this boy, or . . . but it was so tremendously unfair of the the teacher to treat her friend Jae like that. Jae, who loved horses more than anything. Jae, who didn't have an aggressive bone in his whole body, for heaven's sake!
Mumbling to herself about the teacher's edict, she looked around for Jae, but didn't see him. After a few seconds of breathing to try to calm herself down, she looked over at the boy who first spoke and introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Gwyneth Aquillon, first year Tepp and newest outcast. Sorry if my rant bothered you, but I'm not sorry for walking out of that line!" she finished forcefully.

It's dull. by Oliver
The crazy girl did have a point, Oliver thought, though she wasn’t conveying it very well through her frustration. Finally she calmed down enough to introduce herself. Oliver was surprised to hear that she was a Tepp – not that he held much stock in rumours, but all the other Teppenpaws he’d met really were quite cheerful and friendly. This Gwyneth girl looked like she could go on a killing rampage.“None of it’s fair,” Oliver calmly replied, “just get used to it.” He blinked at her with his pale gray eyes from behind his tinted glasses. “Oliver Abbott, first year Crotalus and an experienced outcast,” he said cheerfully. “Take a seat.” Oliver patted the ground next to him and hoped that Gwyneth would sit down and chat for a while – this lesson was easily the most boring so far, and he would certainly appreciate her company.
“So what are you like when you’re not walking out of lessons?” he asked, smirking ever so slightly. He didn’t know where his shyness had gone – it did seem to abandon him at inappropriate moments such as this. Perhaps Gwyneth’s openness with her emotions had encouraged Oliver to behave in a similar, though toned down, fashion. Who knew?

Then we need to make it interesting! by Gwyneth
The boy introduced himself as Oliver and invited her to sit down. Gwyneth took a quick look around for Jae, but didn't see him among the crowd of other boys. Realizing that it was pointless to just stand here, she hitched up her robes and plopped down beside Oliver on the grass. Crossing her legs "Indian style", she settled in to wait out the rest of the class period. She purposefully put her closed notebook and pen on the ground beside her. No way was she taking notes in this bogus class!So what are you like when you’re not walking out of lessons?, Oliver had asked. Suddenly realizing just what an impetuous thing she had done, Gwyneth blushed hotly and started stammering. "Uh . . . well . . . oh criminy! I just walked out of a class! My parents will kill me! Even after I explain, they will still be mad. Oh, maannnn," she wailed. She took a few deep breaths to try and calm down.
She looked over at Oliver to try to respond to this question . . . but he was smirking, again! What was so funny about her? Or about this situation? "How can you just be so calm? It's not fair. And people shouldn't allow things like this to happen!" she said, quieter than before but still with exasperation. "You, more than me, er, I?" She stumbled over the grammar, "Er, whichever! You should be more upset about the way you boys are being treated."
Then, curiousity about Oliver's apparent lack of concern with the treatment of the boys and the class in general won out over Gwyneth's righteous anger. Narrowing her eyes and looking more closely at him, she asked, "So why aren't you upset about all this?"

What do you propose? by Oliver
Gwyneth’s reaction to his question was so funny that Oliver laughed out loud; he couldn’t help it. He tried to keep it quiet though so as not to offend her, but he didn’t think it had helped. Luckily, though, Gwyneth didn’t comment, and continued to go on about how it wasn’t fair. Oliver merely shrugged in response until she asked him explicitly why he didn’t mind.“Not much point getting upset, is there?” Oliver said levelly. “I’m not fond of this class anyway. I suppose it’s a bit unfair, but only more obviously so than other stuff. Like that WAIL group,” he said, it being the first example that came to mind. “They don’t want girls to play Quidditch. This teacher doesn’t want boys to pet the unicorn. Boys aren’t allowed into the girls’ dormitories.” He sighed, not sure he was making his point very well.
“All I’m saying is that it’s not worth worrying about in the long run. If I was that bothered I could look up unicorns in my textbook, or ask the teacher if I could pet it another time when there’s just me. But let’s face it, I don’t really care.” He shrugged again. “Though, if it helps, I admire your concern,” he said, grinning at her.

Well, I'm up for a protest march if you are by Gwyneth
As she listened to Oliver's extremely mature, extremely level headed explanation (and extremely lame, in her initial opinion!), Gwyneth's face became a kaliedoscope of emotions, shifting from surprise, outrage, blank ignorance at the WAIL comment as she hadn't attended the Quidditch game, concern, and finally, grudgingly given respect!While she tended to be a "rebel for any cause" as her mother often said with exasperation, she did understand the point that Oliver was trying to make. "So, what you are saying is . . . 'life ain't fair, get used to it'? Okay, I know that life, in general, isn't fair. There are often rules, like the dorm stuff, and other stuff, like that WAIL complaint you mentioned, that we just can't seem to do anything about. But, isn't it our right, . . . no, our duty, to challenge those rules we think are unfair? My Mom is a history teacher, so maybe that's where I get a lot of this from. But she says that people, no matter who they are, shouldn't just stand idly by and let 'injustice' go unchallenged! Because when we do, we damage not only the group that is being treated badly, but ourselves as well."
Gwyneth thought about the situation for a bit. "But what could we do in this case? Or in the other cases?" she asked a bit rhetorically. "Well," and she began to whisper conspiratorially but with a twinkle in her eye, "we could gather the most innocent, calm boys - - like you and Jae - - and march over to the unicorn and test the Professor's stupid theory." She continued with a bit more excitement, "and we could get some of the girls who play Quidditch and use them as test subjects, too! Like a blind test, each group hidden behind a curtain and see which one, if any, the unicorn reacts badly to!" she finished triumphantly.
Then seeing the look on Oliver's face, she broke up laughing. As she calmed down she said, "Sorry, I get carried away sometimes! Maybe you're right and I can't do anything to change this situation, but I don't have to participate like I agree with the class."
"Oliver, you are a really together kid. I wish I had could be half as logical, calm and clear thinking as you. Who knows? Maybe your calm will rub off on me!" Gwyneth was glad Oliver had spoken to her and that she had sat down. Then her eyes twinkled mischieviously and she added, "Or maybe I will turn you into a rebel for a cause, if you hang around me too long!"

No, not really. by Oliver
Oliver conceded that Gwyneth did have an interesting perspective on the whole ‘life’s not fair’ issue. Whereas Oliver was content to deal with what life threw his way, Gwyneth seemed to want to change the things she didn’t like. Oliver wasn’t entirely convinced if it was worth it.He couldn’t help snorting when she referred to him as innocent and calm. Those weren’t words Oliver would ever use to describe himself. He couldn’t speak for Jae, never having met him, but somehow he got the impression that he wasn’t especially calm, either. Of course her idea about the blind test with the unicorn was just plain ludicrous, and his expression related that to her quite clearly. Oliver was momentarily worried that he’d managed to find another girl as crazy as Lutece, which until just now he had thought impossible.
“Maybe we’ll rub off on each other,” Oliver replied to her last comment. He took another look round at the girls grouped together and the boys off separately. He understood now why Gwyneth had been upset about the lesson, but still, she might not get another chance to get up close to a baby unicorn.
“You sure you want to sit this one out?” Oliver asked her tentatively. “I mean, we can’t go look, and some boys might want to. You, on the other hand, have the opportunity, and you’re passing it up.” He shrugged. “If I were you I’d take advantage of your… erm, advantage,” he finished lamely.

Wimp! Protest is what this country is founded upon! by Gwyneth
“You sure you want to sit this one out? . . . I mean, we can’t go look, and some boys might want to. You, on the other hand, have the opportunity, and you’re passing it up.”Gwyneth was surprised by Oliver's comment. She thought she had made her position quite clear. He truly had not seemed interested in the slightest in being anywhere near the unicorn. And up til now, this had been a basically philosophical argument about the class and discrimination.
She smiled at his unexpected kindness and thought about her answer for a moment before she spoke. "I will admit, I never believed unicorns truly existed before this class. And, while just knowing that is really cool, I know that touching one would be . . . gosh, I don't even have a good word for it. My little sister will never believe that I had the chance here and I 'blew it'. And I can tell that you think I'm weird, or some kinda 'hippie wannabe', all 'protest this and protest that.' No, don't deny it. You laughed at me, for heaven's sake!"
"But the only way I'll get back in that line is if you go with me," she smiled at the improbablity while her eyes challenged him.

I'm not a wimp, I'm just lazy. by Oliver
Oliver breathed a well-concealed sigh of relief as Gwyneth didn’t start up her ranting about injustices again after his suggestion – he was getting the impression she wasn’t a particularly stable person, and he really knew enough of those already. Though the way she refused his denial that she was quite as mad as a March Hare persuaded Oliver to believe that she was harmless, though decidedly a little nutty.Then, with barely any warning, she went all protest-y again. “The only way I’ll get back in that line is if you go with me,” she said.
Oliver blinked at her. “You’re crazy,” he told her, shaking his head, his blond hair falling in his face. He’d never broken a rule in his life, and he’d certainly never stood up to a teacher. He wasn’t about to start now, even if it was just a substitute teacher and the lesson was a little more unfair than usual. But Gwyneth was smiling in a crazy, mischievous kind of way, which Oliver found oddly compelling. What she was proposing was insane… there was absolutely no way Oliver was getting in that line. No way, not ever. Not a chance.
“Alright,” he said suddenly, grinning at Gwyneth.
He was out of his mind.

Let's go, lazybones! by Gwyneth
Gwynwth had issued her "challenge" about joining the line never expecting that Oliver would accept. After all, he was a Crotali - - calm, reserved, respector of all rules, etc. Then, out of the blue, immediately after calling her crazy yet again, he said, "Alright."Gwyneth felt her mouth drop open as her mind raced. It was one thing to get herself in trouble; it was quite another to drag an innocent bystander into the fray with her. She had been only half serious when she had said that maybe she would rub off on Oliver; she had actually been hoping for the reverse - - that Oliver's calm and clearheadedness would rub off on her. She had been only joking about rejoining the line with Oliver in tow, hadn't she? All this went through her mind while she stood there, staring at Oliver, her mouth half opened due to his unexpected capitulation.
"What the heck? Oliver, I don't want you to get in trouble! I was only joking, well, kinda. Are you crazy?" Gwyneth looked at Oliver in utter amazement. "Are you sure? I mean, really, REALLY sure?" She watched his reaction carefully. "In for a penny, in for a pound, as Grams always says! Let's go!" She hopped up off the ground, smoothed her robes and reached down for Oliver's hand.

Uh-oh. by Oliver
Oliver had no idea what had made him agree to join Gwyneth. Perhaps he wanted to see if she really would go through with it, or maybe he wanted to find out what would happen. Maybe he just wanted to do something mischievous for once in his life, or maybe Gwyneth really was just rubbing off on him. If that was the case then she was highly contagious, and the disease spread fast.As much as he wanted to not get up, as much as he wanted to say he was joking and stay safe sitting right there on the ground, Oliver knew he couldn’t; he had said he’d do it now, and if he went back he’d look like the sad loser he really was. He couldn’t chicken out now, so when Gwyneth asked if he was sure, Oliver nodded with as much enthusiasm as he could muster and allowed himself to be hauled up.
“You know I’ll blame it all on you if we get into trouble though, right?” he said to Gwyneth as he released her hand and brushed himself off.

Look out, Line, We're off to see the Unicorn! by Gwyneth
“You know I’ll blame it all on you if we get into trouble though, right?” If she got Oliver in trouble for this crazy stunt, she would blame herself. He wouldn't have to! She had half hoped he would have stayed on the ground. Now, here he was, standing beside her brushing the grass off his robes."Really? You blame me? I blame you!" she retorted in a joking manner. "You're supposed to be the calm, sensible one here!" She laughed and suddenly felt unburdened. Seeing this side of Oliver surprised her. Shoot, seeing this side of herself surprised her. She generally wasn't a take charge kind of girl. She certainly wasn't a "throw caution to the wind and break the rules" kind of person. She had never done such a spontaneous, reckless thing before in her life. And yet, she felt almost charged with positive energy.
"Seriously, though. If we get in trouble, I'll take the blame and say I dragged you over to the line against your will. No point in both of us getting into too much trouble," she said to Oliver. She nervously adjusted her auburn hair into a ponytail. Then, looking Oliver straight in the eyes, she said, "You are either the craziest or bravest person I know. But seriously, I really glad I got to know you." She blushed a little, then hoped Oliver wouldn't think she meant too much by that last statement.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "Let's go!" and walked toward the group of girls. The line was considerably shorter now. She supposed class would be ending soon. 'And not ending TOO SOON because of us,' she hoped. She took one quick glance over at Oliver to see if he was still there. A few more steps, still time to change your mind. And seemingly suddenly, there she was, standing at the end of the line to see the unicorn. She wondered if the Professor or anyone else had noticed. Then she turned to Oliver to see if he was actually standing in line with her.
