You enter the large portable at the front of the forest. Within, the walls are lined with posters of magical creatures and cages filled with similar looking things sat on the ground or on several wood counters. An open crate at the corner of the room catches your curiosity, but you dare not approach at the howl of something within. In fact there were many strange noises coming from the crates and cages around you. The crates howl made the female teacher at the front of the room turn in alarm. She looked at you for a moment before motioning for you to take a nearby empty seat. There were a few other students which seemed a bit on edge as you. You took a seat.
The Professor seemed a bit dark in her black robes with the Calligma crescent on her chest, with raven black hair cut short and layered. She had wild green eyes and pale skin. She didn't seem much older than her early twenties. Perched on her left arm over a leather glove was a medium sized scarlet bird which squacked, looking at you with red and black eyes. It had a few feathers on its head, giving it the distinction of fire. The teacher blinked, as if in thought, then sighed setting the bird down atop a tall wire cage standing at the front of the room besides her. "I guess this is enough students... I'm Professor Atreyu, the Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Why don't we go around the room, say our names, and something interesting about ourselves." She looked at you expectantly, a line of nervousness in her eyes, for you to begin.

Charisma Janson took a seat in the middle and watched the creature perched on the professor curiously. When her turn came around to introduce herself she said, "My name is Charisma Janson and I love to paint and draw scenes of nature."

Natalie sat down looking eager and sad at the same time. She didn't like all the animals in cages. When her turn came she was off thinking about animal rights. When they finally caught her attention she said, "Hi, my name is Natalie Watson and I love to care for animals!"

Justin walked in and sat down in a secluded corner. "My name's Justin and I have yet to get killed by a bite. *Mutters something unintelligably about werewolves and vampires*"

Sam noticed everyone staring at her, including Professor Atreyu, and quickly closed her book. She had sat down in the front row right next to the window, away from the other students. She cleared her throat, a little embarrased that she hadn't been paying attention. "Um, I love animals and I think magical creatures are incredibly fascinating, and would love to get some hands-on experience, instead of, you know, just reading." She held up her book, a really thick volume all about magical creatures, hoping the teacher would understand why she wasn't paying attention. She turned around in her seat, hoping to take the attention off her and onto the person two desks behind her, silently setting the book under her chair.

Lilith rushed in, obviously late. The class was in the middle of introducing themselves. Sam had just finished her "presentation" and everyone's attention switched from Sam to her in an instant. She blushed and tried to hide her face with her bangs as much as she could. Professor Atreyu was looking at her, as was everyone else, and Lilith quickly took her seat. "Lilith Bonner," she said, regaining repose. "I love all animals, magical or not, and would love to have a chance to work closely with them."

Despite the fact that a couple students were missing, Prof.Atreyu nodded knowing they'd probably be a bit late. She smiled at the nervous/eager students and sat down on a large stool facing them, twiddling her hands in a nervous fashion. This was her first day as a Professor and first class. "Alrighty then, this is an interesting bunch. But before the lesson starts I need to inform you about some things. One, much of the magical creatures we encounter may be a bit.... erm, strange, I suppose.... but don't be afraid of them. They all of mean no harm.... Two, you might wonder what these cages are used for... It's to say I've grown up around them, raised them myself so they're used to being arund me. I'm sure none would harm you, but the Ministry thinks differently," the teacher frowned, "Which means any creature that they classify as 'dangerous' must be locked up... oh and three; You shouldn't enter the forest without my presence or the Headmistress' permission. Any questions?"

Lilith raised her hand and spoke, "Then does that mean we will be going into the forest?"she said, holding back excitement. The forest, it seemed, was very interesting.

The Professor held back a grin. She loved the forest. It was her favorite place in the academy. She looked to the girl and nodded. "We'll have a few trips, yes. Any others?"

Sam raised her own hand. "How soon?" she asked. She couldn't wait to visit the forest. It was the kind of hands-on stuff she was eagerly awaiting, and that fact that the Forest was, technically, forbidden made the prospect that much more exciting.

Justin rummaged through a bag and muttered something unintelligable. "Are there vampires or werewolves? If so I don't think I should go."

Jenoah Figsby sauntered into class late. He felt a slight warmth creep into his cheeks as he saw Sam asking the Professor a question. Luckily, there was an empty seat next to her. He admired the soft features of her face for a moment as he set his things down next to her. "Hope it's okay if I sit here.", he whispered, so as not to interrupt the Professor.

Charisma watched as the other students filed in. She scrunched her nose up in disapproval when Justin started talking about vampires and such. Why did she always end up talking to the weird guys?
She glanced over at the other familiar faces fromt the Quad and her heart sank a little as Jenoah sat down next to Sam. He was cute. Too bad he didn't ask to sit next to her. She sighed and slumped her head into one of her hands as she listened to the other students talk with the Professor. She couldn't help but steal glances every now and then in Jenoah's direction.

Justin had decided that he would learn in his sleep and in an instant his head sagged back against a wall and his bronze colored hair parted to reveal his ominous eyes... wide open and staring...
