Care of Magical Creatures

[Sky]

Sky ran quickly through the school grounds. The bell was about to ring. As soon as Sky made it to her Care of Magical Creatures class that was near the forest, the bell rang. The Teacher smiled. It wasn't Hagrid though. It was a man about the age of fifty with plenty of scars and burns across his body. "Good evening class. I will be your substitute teacher while Hagrid is away. You can call me Mr. Hugo. And before you even ask-." Mr.Hugo looked at a student who was raising his hand. "Your Teacher is gone due to a personal matter and I don't not know if she will be back or not ." The class was from mixed grades that were interested in this class alot and did well in it. "Assisting me will be Sky Mason, a sixth year. Hagrid said she knew alot about the animals here and I would greatly appreciate it if you gave her your undivided attention." Mr.Hugo grinned. "Any questions about whats going on?"

James sat there not doing anything but reading his book for the class. He was not really in the mood to be listening. He knew all this stuff since this is what his mother use to teach here. They got this Mr. Hugo becuase his mother had left and was not teaching.

"Ya I have a question why is it that unicorns would rather go to girls then guys. I mean I have seen one that would go to guys. So what makes it different."

[Sky]

Mr.Hugo looked at Sky and motioned for her to answer James. She cleared her throat and grinned at the kid, eager to answer such a question.

"Like us humans, each Unicorn is different. Each has a different disposition. So with that, each has different likes and dislikes. That Unicorn you seen must not mind Males as much as others. But other Unicorns tend to go to females because of their usual caring and gentle nature. They are naturally attracted to females."

James smiled. "I like that answer. I mean it what I was looking for."

He then went back to reading his book. He did not see why he had to go to this class. "I guess you know more then you look like."

[Sky]

She put her hands on her hips. "Are you trying to say I'm stupid?" She stuck out her tounge. "And might I ask what that is your reading sir?" She pointed at his book.


((What is his last name?))

"No I'm not saying that you are stupid. I just don't see why I have to be in this class. I mean it must be hard on a teacher. That does not know something and has a student reading it." James then stood up and looked at her.

"I was reading a book for a class that really matter."

[Sky]

She looked at Mr.Hugo, who was just sitting there sharpening a piece of wood. She sighed and walked up to James and took his book. "Let me tell you Mr.Black. This class does matter. How do you expect to take care of flesh eating grubs in your garden? How do you expect to fend off a werewolf in the dead of night? This class does matter. She looked at the book. "And I don't think you should be reading up on another class in the middle of another one. You can have this after you write an essay on why This class is important."

[Shara2007]

James looked at her and turned to walk away. "I will and then go get another book. I mean my mom used to teach this class and she sure knows more then your teacher does."

James looked at her. "So it up to you. I mean you can fight me or just give me my book."

[Sky]

Sky looked at the boy. "I'm taking over for his classes. As an "Intern." She held the book out. "You can have your book, but I want to see you after class."

[Shara2007]

James looked at her as he grabber his book and sat back down to read it. "I guess I can. I mean I have nothing better to do."

He  looked over at the teacher and laughed.

[Sky]

Sky sighed. She should report the teacher, but she had a job now and could use the money. "Alrighty then...any other questions?" Sky asked after looking at the teacher.

[Shara2007]

James sat there looking at them. He was ready to go but would sit there and then talk to her like he promised. "I don't have any others."

[Sky]

Sky cracked her knuckles. "Alright class. I was told today would just be a laid-back kinda day. We're just going to do a worksheet and then class should be over by then." She retrieved a small stack of parchment that was already printed with questions and passed them out to everyone. "When you are finished, I want you to set them down on this stump." Sky pointed to a large flat stump that was next to her. "This worksheet talks about multiple things. I just want to see what you guys know." She smiled. "You may begin."

[Shara2007]

James took the sheet and then started to look at it. He feeled it out in about 5 minutes that then took it up to her and sat it on the stump. He then went back to his seat and sat down.

He had gotten all of the questions right and sat there waiting for the others to get done.

[Sky]

Sky looked over the papers as they were turned in. Some kids were really good, while others probably should pay more attention. She looked at James'. He had every question correct. The bell rang. She called James' up and watched as Mr.Hugo left for dinner.
