They all looked at him and were startled but then Glenn began to speak 'No, we aren't. But who are you to forbid it? I've never seen you around here'
'I am the new Care Of Magical Creatures teacher for your information so I have the right to forbid and to punish you for it' He glared at Glenn who just shrugged 'Now if you'll follow me into the forest. After you' He gestured them into the forest.
They walked for a while and Chris loved the Forest. It was so nice and misty in there. Weebee and Allan felt also good in there, he could tell. He didn't know why, but they seemed to know it really much. Rebecca looked kind of scared. She grabbed Marcs arm when she tripped over a tree-trump and he let out a nervous laugh. Chris smiled inwardly and suddenly felt a bump in his back. He turned around and saw Sol lying on the ground in a big puddle of mud. He smirked but stopped quickly as she shot him a deadly glare. He decided to help her up and offered her a hand. She took it, but as soon as she stood she slapped him across his face.
'Get your blood traitorous hands of me' she hissed and performed a cleaning charm on herself. Then she pushed him aside and walked towards Glenn and put her arms around him. His cheek burned. She got a hard hand.
'Keep walking boy' came the rough voice of the professor 'We haven't got all day'
Chris kept on walking and it felt like the professor was right behind him. He felt his eyes pierce into his back. After a few minutes they reached an open spot in the forest. It was hardly an open spot, just a place where was more light than in the rest of the forest. The rest of the class was already there and Chris had the feeling that they had come on a much better path than they. He looked up and saw the professor standing in front of the class in utter silence. He got the vague feeling that they had met before but he couldn't remember when and where. The professor looked at every single student, one by one. He looked all of them straight in the eye, like he was searching for something and some longer than the others. Chris felt his body tighten and waited for the eyes to meet his. After what seemed an eternity he felt the gaze of the professor and looked straight back. Chris felt that he wanted to come into his mind, but he didn't let him. The eyes of the professor widened out of surprise but said nothing and continued with the rest. When the professor was ready he began to speak.
'As you might have noticed is that I am the new teacher for Care of Magical Creatures. I'm taking Professors Hagrids place. My name is Caleb Semsing'
Chris let out a sharp breath. Semsing was his fathers name and not a common name in the wizarding world. Who is that man? He cracked his head about it and decided to take a closer look at the professor. He had the same black hair as he had himself but the bluest eyes someone could imagine. He had seen those eyes before with a joyous sparkle in them, but how hard he thought, he couldn't remember. Then however, the voice of Weebee got his back to the present.
'What happened to Hagrid, Sir' Weebee asked.
'None of your business, Mister Weasly. Let's continue with some slightly new rules. As you know the headmaster already told you that it isn't safe to wander around here all by yourself. Therefore I'll be picking you up at the main entrance of the castle to take you out here. If I catch any of you walking alone or in small groups without teachers, I'll give you detention. It's a matter of safety with Voldemort out there.'
The students all seemed to loose their breath when the professor said that name.
'Anyway, let's start with the lessons for today. We're going to talk about Thestrals today.' He searched in his pockets for something and pulled out some tiny pieces of something. When he enlarged then it turned out to be some giant clumps of meat. The professor threw them carefully a few meters away and gestured the class to be silent. 'Just wait now'
After a few moments saw Chris a pair of glimmering red eyes appear out of the forest. A black nose followed and with it a whole head. He looked at them in astonishment, not knowing whether he could believe his eyes or not. He looked around and saw that many students only stared and began to move impatiently. Others however looked shocked, she he wasn't the only one who could see them. He looked back at the creature again and saw that it began to tear of bites of meat. It looked rather disgusting but fascinating at the same time.
'Thestrals are only seen by someone who experienced death around him. Whether it is a mother, father or another one you cherish dies. Who is able to see them?' He asked, looking around. Chris put up his hand hesitantly and saw that more students were doing it.
'Thestrals are lured by the scent of blood, that's why I used these clumps of meat. This was it for this period. Homework is an essay about the Thestralls. I'll lead you back to the castle now. Please follow me.' The professor gestured them to follow him. They took another part, much to the relief of Rebecca and Sol. When they finally reached the normal grounds again most of the students uttered a relieved sigh and went quickly inside. Chris sat down on the stairs and was soon joined by Marc and Rebecca seeing that they had all a free period.
