Ravwrin sat in her robes outside pouting on a tree stump. She
couldn't believe it. She was one of the top most best hunters and
assignment people in the clans. She was to be in the field working,
not teaching a stupid class at the age of sixteen. She huffed and
frowned as she saw the class coming. Luckily Ravwrin had found a
creature to show for the class that she actually knew about.
As the students came closer she looked them over. She recognized
Harry Potter and the two people that were with him. All three had
a frown on their faces. Ravwrin sighed at this and the thought of
'here we go' flitted across her mind.
"Where's Hagrid?" Harry asked as soon as he got close enough.
Ravwrin blinked at the sudden question from her seat. "Uh...
if I remember what Professor Dumbledore said, he got into a little
fight with a creature he was going to bring into class." she replied.
Harry narrowed his eyes at her and frowned. Ravwrin returned
the look. "It's not my fault you know. No one really has a need to
be suspicious of me. Dumbledore needed a teacher and I took the job."
Ravwrin finally said standing up and brushing her robes off.She looked
over the crowd of students while Harry and his friends murmered
something to each other.
"All righty then." Ravwrin said loudy catching everyone's
attention. "For right now I'm your Care of Mythical Creatures teacher."
There were a few sighes of relief from the back of the group.
Several people were grinning like loons at the news and a few even
sat down as if the class was just that.
She narrowed her eyes at these people and snorted. "Don't even
think this is going to be easy." she hissed glaring. "In my class
you earn what you get and even at seventeen years of age I think I
would know what to look for in trouble makers. I'll make you work
pretty hard in this class and with that hard work might come rewards."
"Oh right," someone said. "How can essays on fairies, pixies,
and unicorns be hard?"
Ravwrin turned with a flick of her hair and snorted.
"Those belong in a first year class. I believe I'll teach you
a few things about American animals." With that she started off
in a direction. "And it would be wise of you to follow, you never
what sort of detention I could deal out."
Ronald Weasley turned and whispered to Harry, "The worse
would probably be petting a fuzzy little creature."
Both boy broke out into a fit of chuckles as Ravwrin led the way
to what seemed to be a very large pen. Several snorts arose from the
pen and whinies. A creature of very large stature and appearance of
a unicorn trotted up to the gate.
"These creatures were very hard to convince to come here."
Ravwrin started to say as she scratched its nose. A second came
up beside the first and flipped a set of wings onto its back.
"Does anyone have a clue what these beasts are?"
Carefully she led the one out of the pen with wings. It looked
at everyone with the eyes of a horse or unicorn. The horn on its
forehead curved sharply up and back in one full looking horn.
Scales started just below the chin and rand all the way back up onto
its jaw and down its chest onto its belly. Two dragonish looking
wings were folded onto the back and drew the eye to the tail. The
tail was a bit dragon like but ended with what was close to horse
hair. The hooves were cloven and half way hidden benenth tuffs of
fur.
"It's a unicorn or a threstral, isn't it?" Herminone asked
from behind Ron.
"Neither." Ravwrin replied and lead it further into the class.
"Anyone for another guess?"
"It is a mix of both?" Neville asked.
"Nope." she said and clicked her tongue at it. It whinnied
and shook its head. Ravwrin scratched the area below the horn
and smiled. "Anyone give up?"
Everyone nodded. "Well, this is a new species of dragon
that has been found in the states. We have named it the Prairie
dragon. That's because it," Ravwrin paused to see if anyone would
answer.
"Lives on the prairie?" Harry asked.
"Good job. It lives on the plains of the United States. It
is rarely seen even though there are huge herds of these things
roaming the land. Both male and female look alike except for the
wings. Why do you think that is?"
Several people looked like they were actually thinking about
it. Then suddenly there seemed to be a spark of interest fly
across their eyes. Several people started to speak up at once.
Ravwrin grinned at herself, 'Maybe this won't be so bad after all.'
She thought to herself.
------------------
Ravwrin started to rub her temples trying to stop the migraine
that was threatening to bust their flood gates at any time. The first
class was excellent, the second was ok, but the third was a little bad.
It was lunch and she was just lucky enough to sit beside the Potions
Master.
"How was your first day of teaching?" Snape asked with a sneer.
Ravwrin rolled her eyes and snorted. "I have better luck talking
to a dog half the time." she muttered. "Hufflepuff seemed terrified
and Ravenclaw didn't seem to even care."
He smirked, "And have the Gryphondors given you any trouble?"
Ravwrin looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Not really, at
least they asked questions. They didn't like the homework I gave
them though. Why?"
"What was the homework?" he asked.
Ravwrin narrowed her eyes a little. "You're trying not to
answer my question." she said. "But I gave them a four foot long
parchment due tomorrow on the habits and theories on the habits
of the Prairie dragon."
Snape raised an eyebrow. "That is actually more homework than
I give."
Ravwrin raised an eyebrow herself. "Ok..... Is that a bad
thing?"
Snape smiled at her and she noticed how there were many
shocked faces in the crowd of students. "No, but I believe
that they have a new person to hate."
Ravwrin laughed, "Sir, atleast I make learning fun." She
poked him the in arm with her fork. "But I wish I could scare
students like you do."
Both of them laughed at that and laughed even harder at
everyone's surprised faces.
--------------------
It was the last class of the day and Ravwrin was over
joyed about that. Her mood suddenly dropped when she noticed
that the group was of Slytherins. All of them were jeering
and laughing as they came closer.
Ravwrin sighed and snorted. "Alright! Follow me!" she
shouted at them and took off.
A group of very surprised Slytherins stood there for a
moment but soon followed. They came to the pen soon afterwards
to only see Ravwrin on what seemed to be a low fence.
"Alright. I've already gone over what I expect from the
other classes. I expect the same out of you. Our first animal
that we are going to look at is in the pen." she said.
They watched as she moved on the fence without really
moving. "How the bloody hell did you do that?" one of them asked.
"Do what?" she asked. The head of the creature she was
sitting on raised up. It leaned over the fence a little and
touched noses with one Draco Malfoy.
"What the hell is that?" he asked as the Prairie dragon
moved away.
"Well, let's start from the beginning now that I have
your attention." she replied with a smirk.
-------------------
Draco sighed slowly and softly as he sunk into a tub
of water. Ravwrin and actually forced him onto the back
of one of the beasts she claimed was actually a dragon. He
would never ever do that again. He hurt in places that he
didn't even know could hurt before.
He brought his hand to his shoulder where the tattoo
was. It had moved he noticed and it now seemed to rest its
head on his shoulder. Draco had to find out what that girl
had done to him.
---------------------
Cat eyes narrowed slighty as they watched a raven haired
boy. The owner of them slowly crept up behind him and tapped
him on the shoulder. The boy turned and his emerald eyes grew
wide.
