{>So teachers can send students into the forbidden forest right?<}
{>Who wants to come with me on a field trip?<}
{>Strict limit of four this time.<}

{>But don't worry if you miss out.<}
{>There's always next time!<}

[Also, those little doodles around his lines? Wings! Pixie wings, to be exact, and he'll give house points to whoever can correctly identify the variety.]

Comments

[grandhighwizard]

oh, come on,
HURTING STUDENTS
helps them learn better.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Bruises and scrapes are part of the fun!<}
{>I was talking more about serious injury.<}
{>That leads to time spent in the hospital wing not experiencing anything!<}

[shellfishlovver]

They can, but if you get them killed...well...

What are those obnoxious little brackets around your words for?

[animalmagnetism]

{>I won't get them killed!<}
{>I've been sneaking into the forest since my first year.<}
{>I know it like the back of my hand.<}
{>They're not brackets.<}
{>Also guess!<}

[shellfishlovver]

Right. Colour me convinced.
I'm guessin' that they're ridiculous things that have no purpose other than to make your text look gaudy.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Convinced is a good color on you!<}
{>They have a purpose.<}
{>They do look good but they're educational too!<}

[shellfishlovver]

Convinced isn't even a colour.
Just tell me.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Yes it is!<}
{>It's a dusting of pink!<}
{>Maybe with a dewy shimmer here and there.<}
{>And I can already tell it'll look great on you.<}
{>Nope!<}
{>How will you learn if you don't struggle for the answer yourself?<}
{>You have to at least give a good go at it first!<}

[shellfishlovver]

No. It won't. It would look ludicrous.
Fine.
They're horns.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Nope! It'd look great!<}
{>I guess I'll just have to bring myself and a mirror and show you sometime.<}
{>Getting warmer!<}
{>But not quite right. Guess again!<}

[shellfishlovver]

Hats?
No.
You know what? I don't care anymore.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Colder!<}
{>I'll give you a hint.<}
{>I'm here to teach Care of Magical Creatures.<}
{>Now you should have no problems guessing.<}

[shellfishlovver]

Games are for children, Professor Banks.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Wrong again!<}
{>Games are for everyone!<}
{>And this one's also educational!<}
{>Come on. You're a professor!<}
{>Don't you like learning?<}

[shellfishlovver]

I like learnin from people I know to be more intelligent than I am.
Are they ears?

[animalmagnetism]

{>How intelligent are you?<}
{>I can't answer that without knowing that fact first.<}
{>And closer than horns but nope!<}

[shellfishlovver]

Very. Now tell me.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Are your eyes going?<}
{>I can sketch it larger for you!<}

[And shortly after is a larger version of the tiny wings he's been sketching. It's a pretty good sketch, and the size makes the details easier to see.]

[shellfishlovver]

...Wings....
How old did you say you were?

[animalmagnetism]

{>Correct! So your eyes were just going!<}
{>And I'm twenty.<}

[shellfishlovver]

No. They aren't. I just wasn't looking for the most absurd thing I've ever seen.

Knew you were a child...

[trollvatar]

Oooh ooh! I want to go!

[animalmagnetism]

{>Excellent!<}
{>Tell me your name and year please!<}
{>I'll put you right at the top of my list!<}

[trollvatar]

Korra Kaniq! I'm a sixth year.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Excellent!<}
{>You can help keep an eye on the younger ones!<}

[psiignlanguage]

My god.
You cannot be serious.

[animalmagnetism]

{>Of course I am!<}
{>The best way to learn is first hand experience!<}
{>The forest is full of that.<}
