Rolunso was in his teacher dorm . He was sleeping peacefully he awoke from a voldermort nightmare . It was about three in the morning . He smiled as he walked to the scheduling board and posted :
Care Of Magical Creatures Many of you student have not been in my class before so i wish for you all to sign up for my begginer class . If you have please sign up for my Advanced class . My Advanced class will be very tough , but my Begginer will not be so boring , but will be safer and less of the stronger creatures . If you would like to be in Begginer class please talk to meabout being in class.
He sighed as he wrote the post in old english calligraphy with his special ink that when the ink was read the user would hear Rolunso's voice . The ink that Rolunso made he called Iluusen . He smiled . Whenever someone entered the room the magic ink would activate . He waited in the room silently . He sat in a burgandy red chair.
(OOC: Post in RP please . Talk to rolunso about care of magical creatures.)

Nick had sleepily walk to his dorm . He was very sleepy . It was his first night at hogwarts and he had had a very long day . He stuffed himself at dinner . He sat down on his bed . The comforting cushions lay around it . He took out posters of quidditch out of his suitcases and used magic to put them on the walls. He smiled as he put a moving figure of Victor Krum flying on his broom doing very advanced spins and maneuvers . Nick smiled as Victor cicrced the virtual snitch . He sat on his bed for hours reading on quidditch when his eyes became heavy . He slept for only two hours . He woke at two in the morning . He decided to sneak around the castle for anything unusual . He was walking down the moving stariways when suddenly he heard voices in his ear . "Many of you student have not been in my class before so i wish for you all to sign up for my begginer class . If you have please sign up for my Advanced class . My Advanced class will be very tough , but my Begginer will not be so boring , but will be safer and less of the stronger creatures . If you would like to be in Begginer class please talk to me about being in class." Nick strolled toward the door. He noticed a new teacher was sitting in the room . Nick walked up to him and said . " I'd like to be in the class please . I was wondering if i could apply for the beggining class. " He said in a uncommon educated voice that was uneasy .

Anise turned over in unrest underneath her navy blue duvet, her legs entangled in the beautifully made ivory bedsheets. Her hair was tousled; the sky outside was still dark at 2:45 in the morning. The prefect turned over again - one time too many. With a strangled yell stifled by her bronze-hued pillowcase, a thump was heard echoing in the Ravenclaw Tower's highest room as the girl hit the ground accompanied by a great deal of movement that ended as suddenly as it had begin.
Pushing a wild lock of hair back behind her ear, Anise rubbed the quickly growing lump that was a result of her tumble. She was still half-asleep, but the girl rose from her seat on the beautiful grey plush carpet: Anise knew she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, being that type of girl. Lately, Miss Paravel had been having what seemed to be insomnia - coupled with nightmares, it ensured that Anise's heart was always filled with dread at the mention of sleep. Not that she could get much of it anyway. She might as well pace the corridors; Filch, the caretaker, had long since stopped prowling the Ravenclaw Tower and kitchens. The Ravenclaws were the ones least likely to go for midnight strolls, from his point of view. They were "smart enough to know not to, even if they are still maggots like the rest of the kids," according to him. Plus, they were the only House to have ever managed to not give Mrs. Norris a good kick - or, at least, they'd never been found out.
Edging her feet into her pale brown loafers and tugging on the stubborn straps, Anise stood and reached upward with a barely concealed yawn. Buttoning the top two buttons of her blouse and smoothing the garment down, she edged into her blue skirt, the rim slightly crinkled. The Ravenclaw pulled on her locks a few times with her wooden hairbrush before slipping it into her nightstand drawing and peeking out the curtains. The lake, as always, was spectacular from the Ravenclaw Tower; even those who had never been in the Tower knew it was the best of the four House dormitories. It was very much proved by the many beautiful and tasteful furnishing in varying hues of brown, bronze, blue and grey in the Ravenclaw common room.
The common room was warm enough (the house elves, as always, had set a roaring blaze going in the wide fireplace), but when Miss Paravel left the dormitories via the secret entrance behind the suit of armour next to the kitchens she was suddenly aware of how cold it was even in the middle of September. Her footsteps were soft and she herself was making no sound despite the fact her wand was tucked away into the left breast pocket on her blue blouse. The hallways were dark; Anise didn't dare to cast the Lumos spell after hours in case Filch was near.
Shrugging to herself and deciding she might as well get some work done, Anise began to head for the Grand Staircase, her intentions being to go to the library and start studying aconite for Potions class, when she was stopped by the open door of the Care of Magical Creatures teacher's office. Unlike his "classroom", which was in actuality the entire perimeter of the school grounds if it suited him, he had an office to himself that was both his place of relaxation and his lodgings. Anise often wondered if Dumbledore lived the same way, but she doubted him. It just didn't seem to suit an immensely powerful wizard such as the Headmaster was.
Remembering that she had yet to sign up for any of her classes, Anise took a detour so that she ended up in front of the wooden doorframe. The girl pulled her cardigan tighter around her as she raised her hand up to the solid surface. A soft tap on the oaken doorframe announced the arrival of another student: a Ravenclaw Prefect. The badge was visible upon her breast as she opened the door slightly and came inside, her short nails not hindering her fingers as they curled and uncurled with the strand of light blonde locks her raised hands held. The young Miss Paravel did not speak nor open her mouth and make to do so; rather, she quietly and swiftly moved across the perimeter of the classroom to stand a foot or so behind her fellow classmate Mr. Wade as she waited shyly for her turn to speak. While she waited, Miss Paravel listened closely to the parchment repeating itself as it stated what was written on its yellow-white surface.

Rolunso noticed the boy with the rather long dreadlocks. He answered " Yes , sir . I was just wondering if you could these two quizzes. None will count on your grade in this class , but the first one will let me see how much you know about Magical Creatures. The second will be a oral test allowing me to see how well you interact with creatures. That will be graded. Although as i said before it will not count on your grade in this class. " Rolunso handed him one sheet of parchment with five questions.
The Sheet of parchment looked like:
Care Of Magical Creatures Quiz #1
1. What creature can transform when the moon is full?
2. Which creature live in the wild and are a hybrid of two species horse and human ?
3. What creature is dead yet is still alive as its soul ? These are found in hogwarts castle .
4. These tall creatures are found mostly in mountains and stand 20 feet tall and have dark eyes, dark hair and light brown or olive skin?
5. These creatures are Eastern European nature spirits with the power to enchant men with their voices. They look like extremely beautiful fair-haired, light-eyed human women, except when they are angry, where their appearance becomes fearsome instead. What are they?
" When you are done with the test " He paused to acknoledge the girl looking at the board . Rolunso walked over to her and gave her the first quiz . He smiled at her . " When you are done talk to me about the oral quiz."

Rolunso accepted the quiz and studied it. Wow.. he did very good for his first try , but not good enough. Rolunso told nick ." Ok . You get a three out of five on your quiz . So I will put you in the Begginer class for now. You have done very well."Rolunso paused . I wonder how come this boy got alot of the harder questions right and the easier ones wrong . Most students get the ghost and centaur right . He got the Werewolf,Centaur, and Veela right! Rolunso walked over to the west wall of his classroom. He touched it with his monster arm. The one with green scales. He did this as he pulled off the wrapped bandages. Suddenly the wall started to glo. The wall opened to reaveal a room. Inside the room was a crystal ball that stood on a wooden table.The room was decorated in blood and fur. The walls bore claws scratches and fang marks. On a metal chain that acted as a leash was bound tightly to a shadow in the corner of the room.The shadow was hunched over growling and at the same time it sounded hurt and in pain.Rolunso pitied it with almost crying eyes. Rolunso ordered the boy , Nick to come stand by him. Rolunso whispered in Nick's ear. " This is a room. Only Hogwarts staff and people they allow can see it. I haven't allowed that dear girl to look upon it yet , but you I have. Rolunso paused . " I want you to tame that creature anyway you can without harming it. Here's two hints. That crystal ball was charmed to put an everlasting moon light. That is why the creature in always a werewolf. It will not kill you , but it will attack. That is another hint. " Rolunso smiled. He should pass this from all his knoledge from his test.

Anise smiled, sweeping the professor a quick but graceful curtsy as she took a seat at the nearest desk. Fortunately so, Miss Paravel was always prepared with a quill and parchment on hand, if only a scrap of the ivory paper and her second-worst pheasant quill.
Crossing her legs under the black ebony wood of the smooth and immaculate desk surface, Anise surveyed the quiz, relieved to find it was on subjects she had studied and read about before. A tired smile crossing her face, Miss Paravel began to quickly but neatly scrawl down her answers. At least her wand hadn't been involved; Anise's memory of the incident at Ollivander's was still quite fresh in her only half-awake mind.
Care Of Magical Creatures Quiz #1
1. What creature can transform when the moon is full? The werewolf can transform when the moon is full. Famous werewolves of the past are Fenrir Greyback and Remus Lupin. While the werewolf is a dangerous creature that loses its mind as well as its human form when it transforms, this state of primitive instinct can be overcome by the use of the Wolfsbane potion. Werewolves can come into existence two ways: the child of two werewolves (this can happen illegally, since the Ministry has put laws preventing "werecubs"), or being bitten by one, the latter being the most common cause. The scientific name is lycanthrope, lycan for short; there is a great of prejudice against werewolves, which led to the passing of certain laws in 2042 that made it mandatory for werewolves to be branded with the letter "W".
2. Which creature live in the wild and are a hybrid of two species horse and human? Centaurs, most of which are very much knowledgeable in the ways of Astrology and Astronomy alike and dislike human wizards and witches because of the belief the Wizarding world considers themselves superior to centaurs, live in the wild and a a hybrid of the two species: horse and human. They are sentient beings and have a very interesting anatomy: they possess the stomach, kidney, liver, heart and skin of both human and horse. Their main weapon is their hooves, accompanied by knives or the use of the bow and arrow. They have very strict laws, including the law that ensures they cannot harm any student of Hogwarts: it is forbidden among centaurs to hurt foals.
3. What creature is dead yet is still alive as its soul? These are found in Hogwarts Castle. The ghost, a dead being's imprint left on the earth, is no truthfully alive but is simply a sort of piece of that person's essence left onto earth. While it can speak and think for itself, s/he cannot eat, drink or make physical contact because they are see-through. They remain exactly as they were when they died and have no knowledge at all of what happens to their soul after death. They are not alive nor dead, but can neither relive their life nor go through a death again. Poltergeists are different from this; they are more like malicious spirits usually meaning no more than to cause distraction and aggravation. Also, poltergeists are usually solid and subject to the heavenly qualities or rosemary. They cannot get very near to rosemary and certain other plants, which would explain why poltergeists are often banished from homes using methods that employ rosemary.
4. These tall creatures are found mostly in mountains and stand 20 feet tall and have dark eyes, dark hair and light brown or olive skin? Giants are usually found in mountains, standing at the least twenty feet tall. Their usually physical features including dark hair and eyes, along with brown and tan skin that is tough enough to repel minor to moderate spells including Stunners and Reductors. They are not very intelligent and are actually very violent. They are fascinated by magic unless it is being used by them, which explains why some dislike wizards. They have a habit of half-killing others every week or so, ensuring the species remains on the Ministry's Endangered Species list. The chief of each tribe is called the Gurg.
5. These creatures are Eastern European nature spirits with the power to enchant men with their voices. They look like extremely beautiful fair-haired, light-eyed human women, except when they are angry, where their appearance becomes fearsome instead. What are they? Veela, nature spirits commonly found in Eastern Europe, are somewhat like sirens: they have the power and the beauty to seduce men, taking the form of women with clear eyes and fair hair. Anger causes them to abandon this ruse, however, and take on an equally beautiful form that is similar to that of a harpy, with sharp talons, a beak-like mouth and wings replacing the feet and hands, lips and arms. A band of these female creatures - there are only ever females, which has led to questions and analysis of how these nature spirits reproduce - are the mascots for the Bulgarian Quidditch team.
Her right wrist positively aching from all the writing Anise had put onto the piece of parchment, Miss Paravel positively beamed when she realized how much she'd done. Sliding her seat back - Anise had been unconsciously rocking on the two back legs as she had written - the Ravenclaw rose from her seat, hurriedly rolling up the parchment before casting a Sealing Charm on it so that the edges met and stayed with a slight popping sound. Fiddling with the rolled-up parchment, Anise was about to hand it to the professor - before she realized that the man had apparentally disappeared into the middle of nowhere - along with her fellow student, Mr. Wade.

Nick started to feel the hair on his neck tremble.His eyesight faded.Nick muscles bulge through his arms painfully.He had the urge to scream.He ignored it.Nick felt his body transforming.He had felt this before when he had put the spell on himself by mistake.His hair had turned grey and his skin had turned into grey fur.He had turned into a werewolf.Two of nicks five senses were stronger than usual,touch and smell.He could feel himself becoming stronger and angrier.The other werewolf lokked at him still barking and growling.This time it was different.Nick could tell he spoke french." Au secors! "Help me. It yelled.Nick could speak french.He tried to talk but only growls and barking noises came out f his snout.
"comment j'aidez-vous?"How do i help?Nick wondered."il y a un liquide sur la table que c'est wolfsbane."Nick understood that the werewolf wanted him to give him the wolfsbane.Nick picked up the bottle of wolfsbane and threw it to drank it half way.The werewolf threw the bottle at Nick.Nick would of caught it , but it cracked when it hit nick in the face.Nick felt the liquid drip from his face.Anger raged inside of nick.Nick growled loudly.The earsplitting yell cracked the crystal moon ball.Suddenly Nick felt himself becoming human again.Nick sat in a corner looking at the french boy who was at least siz years old.The boy slept in the corner still on the chain.Nick sighed.He wondered how he had changed into a werewolf.
He thought about it until he found a red scar on his right palm.The werewolf had scratched him.Nick had tasted human blood.Thats why he transformed.Nick waited for a few minutes.

Rolunso had watched nick transform and tame the beast. Rolunso didnt want it to go that way , but he decided it had worked out rather well no one else has ever done that before.Rolunso knew the girl could not pass the quiz how nick had..Rolunso noticed the girl was done with his quiz. He walked over to her and examined her quiz.She was a prodigy , but this was a very easy test.Rolunso smiled."Ms.Paravel you have done very nice on this test.I was wondering if you would be ready for my oral test? "He smiled.Rolunso murmered a quiet spell with a flick of his wand. Suddenly the door closed and Nick was teleported into the red burgundy seat Rolunso was sitting on earlier.
"Ms.Paravel i would like you to answer two qeustions for me. What can house elves do that no other wizard can do inside of hogwarts?What drink can easily intoxicate an house elf , but not a child or man?" He smiled. The answers were very hard for someone new to the wizarding world , but most people knew the second.Rolunso waited.If she gets these right she will be able to go into the advanced class.

Anise was relieved to find she'd done well on the written portion of the examination, despite the fact she was really quite exhausted and it was already about 3:30 in the morning. Fleeting thoughts of how she would ever manage to get to all the classes she was taking for her sixth year in time without sleep crossed her, but as she realized Professor Lasagou had already given her the oral test, her mind swayed from that to trying to find the answers.
"Well, sir," Anise began, carefully measuring out her words as she tried to remember what she'd read on house elves, "a house elf can" - here she sped up slightly as she remembered the second paragraph of the chapter on the defenses that Hogwarts used to make the castle safe for students in Hogwarts, A History: The Revised Edition, by Hermione G. Weasley - "Apparate, or move from place to place without actually moving, which is impossible for any other being including teachers, within the perimeter of the school. This includes the school grounds, but not Hogsmeade or Hogsmeade Station."
Pausing once to take a deep breath and hope that she was still doing well, the Ravenclaw continued in order to answer the second and easiest question of the two, "As for your second question, professor, it's butterbeer: it's particularly potent for house elves, who are usually impervious to liquor such as firewhiskey. Butterbeer has the same effect on house elves as Muggle beer has on men."
Her heart skipping a beat when Anise finished speaking, she fell quiet and waited for the professor to say something, her hands furiously meddling with a few of her parted bangs.
OoC; ^^ Note the name of the text Anise chose to quote and its author. And no, I couldn't resist.

Rolunso was suprised . She seems to know alot about creatures. " Ok. You did very well.You should be in the advance class for care of magical creatures. You will learn about Acromantulas , Basilisks , Chimaera's. There will be more creatures that you will learn about , but those are the first.I would like you to pick up some books for class, but before you do please get some sleep.
(OOC:I'll make an advanced class for you in Care of Magical creatures.And nice about hermoine....How do you know she married ron?)

OoC; I don't. ^^ But, she did mention how house elves weren't mentioned at all in the original edition of Hogwarts, a History when she was talking about S.P.E.W. I thought it'd make sense if she wrote the new edition. Besides, Ron and Hermione are wonderful together when they're not fighting like cats and dogs.
Eeek, Writer's Block. <<;;
BiC; At the mention of sleep, Anise blushed and looked downward. "Yes, sir. Thank you," she managed to mumble, busying herself by shrinking her quill down to a smaller size with her wand and slipping it into her pocket. Turning to the door, Miss Paravel looked back and said politely, before leaving the classroom, "G'night, professor."
Outside in the hall, Anise felt ecstatic as she realized she'd passed and was in the Advanced class. "Good use of a night," she whispered in the dark, a slight smile lighting her face up as she began to walk quickly down the hall to her dormitory before Filch could get her.

Cautiously striding into the room, Gavin examined the area, quickly noticing the teacher and scattering behind a bookshelf. With a light squeak, Gavin peaked his head out from the shelf and saw the teacher giving him a wide, very inviting smile.
