Talent
Professor Kettleburn was watching his new Care of Magical Creatures class dealing with salamanders. They were usually quite good as a starter even though they weren't classified as harmless by the Ministry. But he'd already explained them how to take care of salamanders in their first theoretical lesson and now was time for them to get in contact with the creatures.
The good thing about salamanders was that they weren't that dangerous, even if you didn't know how to handle them and it gave Professor Kettleburn a chance to see how his students reacted to them.
One girl had actually put on her dragon skin gloves because she didn't want to touch her salamander and Professor Kettleburn heard her whisper rather loudly to her friend.
"I've taken Care of Magical Creatures because I thought we'd learn how to take care of unicorns and cute little Puffskeins. But these things are just disgusting. Have you seen their skin?! I hope this lesson is over soon." she said as she held the salamander by its tail.
"Don't do that!" A boy behind her suddenly said and took the creature from her hands. The salamander, which was still scared, bit the boy fiercely in his finger but he just laughed and carried the animal to the fire they had built for the salamanders.
"Well," Professor Kettleburn thought contendedly, "At least one of them seems to be talented."
