((I'm running a bit behind, so the lecture will be up tomorrow. If your characters would be interested in getting a pet tribble, please have them show up before the first lecture. Pets will be given out at the end of class.Care of Magical Creatures was traditionally held outside, but heavy rains for the last two weeks had made the school grounds

Menolly stepped into the classroom with only Beauty in attendance. The firelizard had her golden tail curled tightly around Menolly's neck and was trying to hide in her long auburn hair.

She wasn't really succeeding.

"Excuse me, sir? But I was wondering if I might sit in on your class."

[catremistrae]

"Certainly," Grant said. He caught a glimpse of the animal behind Menolly's hair. "That is an amazing animal. Would you mind if I took a look at it? I'm sorry that I never got to finish talking to you at your Sorting."

She reached up to scratch along Beauty's back. "Her." She said automatically. Because while the fire-lizards weren't dragons, they did have personalities and Beauty's experience with the Professor would affect how the others reacted towards him as well.

"There aren't too many people around right now, but the class will fill up soon and then I'm not sure how calm she'll be. I'm trying to keep the others from coming into the classroom right now and causing a disruption."

She paused a moment and then smiled a touch shyly. "I suggested that for all the people who wanted eggs, maybe I could have a class for them and the hat said I should talk to you about coordinating something. You could meet all of them if we meet to discuss the class and you could help me figure out the little things I might not think of that people might want to know. Most people know how dragons work in my world and fire-lizards are very similar. But dragons here seem to be something totally different."

"I don't want to stress your animal. If you want to work something out later, please owl me. I have a tendency to forget things if I don't write them down. In the meantime, please take a seat or mingle for a bit. The class will be starting in a few minutes."

Morfin caught sight of a new face! And she had a cool lizard animal with her! "Hi! My name is Morfin and I'm a Hufflepuff! I don't think I was at your Sorting. You have a cool lizard animal there."

She wasn't sure she liked people calling the fire-lizards animals as if they were just any other creature. They were minature dragons, where was the awe? But Menolly said nothing for now.

She smiled a bit at the other student. "Menolly of Harper Hall, Morphin. And this is a fire-lizard. And her name is Beauty."

Beauty was busy looking at anything, her eyes whirling orange with refracted hints of blue, showing a slightly uneasy curiosity. Menolly stroked along under her neck soothingly, wondering what Beauty might have been picking up.
