“Can I adopt this fur baby, Professor?’’ Claudine asked once she and Flynn had finished the course with Rufus. She continued to snuggle at the kneazle even though President was now seemingly getting tired of all the cuddles. This was only their first CoMC lesson but Williamson was about to find out how dedicated Claudine aimed to be when it came to creatures. She had decided that the man was indeed approachable and so she would be paying him a visit soon; out of lessons, that is.
President squirmed and nipped Claudine on her arm. When the hooman finally put him down, he threw himself on his back to rub himself on the grass. Williamson took the leash back from Claudine and tightened his grip on it, ready for the next pair to run the course. He wasn't expecting Claudine to like her kneazle so much; then again, he barely knew these kids.
"Uh, well you can become his caretaker, if you'd like." He cleared his throat and leaned toward her a bit. "The Headmaster is strictly against any odd pets being in the dorms, though, so you'll have to leave President in the barn most of the time." Which was fine, the kneazle wouldn't be lonely at all out there. Text Cut: Carsyn Quote:

But those thoughts quickly escaped her when there was suddenly a big hand in front of her, and she gulped, opening her hands slowly to reveal the quivering Mongolian Gerbil. "She's scared. I don't usually bring her to classes, but I don't have a kneazle or cat, sir.......She's my only pet." Okay she was rambling and the Professor didn't ask for explanation, only to see it. "Harmless. Completely harmless" Awwhaha, look at that. That cute little fluffy thing with the long tail. It almost looked like a rat, which was one of the acceptable school pets. Williamson didn't squash the thing with his hand; no, he very, very gently gave it a pet with one finger, letting it rest on Carysn's hand still.
"Yeah, well, it wasn't very bright of you to bring cat-bait to a wampus lesson," he muttered, still trying to be as DISAPPROVING AS POSSIBLE toward the Prefect. A Prefect! A PREFECT should know better! Williamson grunted. "Where did you get this thing? It's not a regular….." er, was it a mouse, rat, or other? "...rodent." It looked wild, actually, though it was fairly well behaved. He looked up from the cute thing to Carsyn. "You know you're supposed to get the Headmaster's approval for pets that aren't on the official list."
And, to clarify, "It is NOT harmless," he vehemently stated, "to bring FOOD to a CREATURE LESSON." He'd CLEARLY said they'd be working with cats on the noticeboard. COME ON. She HAD to have more sense than this. Text Cut: Blake & Tom Quote:

"So what do you think we should do Blake?" A hunk of… wait, what? What were Tom and Blake throwing to Rufus? Were they hypnotized by the wampus already? There were no hunks of meat here!
"What are you doing?" he marched over to the pair, who were throwing bits of leaves and twigs at the cat like they thought they were feeding it or something. "That's….not cat food." He shook Blake on the shoulder a bit to wake him up. "Come on, fellas. Either give Rufus a walk or hand back the leash." They were about out of time anyway. Text Cut: Avalon & Fiona Quote:
Originally Posted by Fireheart Whew. At least Fiona seemed like she was back to normal. Avalon had to pick up her jog, breaking into a fast spring in order to keep up with the wampus. She was still upset about what had happened, but she couldn't help but giggle when Fiona leapt in the air to snag the toy. That cat was certainly a character.
"Don't worry about it, Isla," Avalon said in response to the Slytherin's apology. "I should have known better than to drop the leash." And she really meant it - Isla didn't need to apologize. She offered the girl a smile in reassurance and nodded at her suggestion to just stay on the perimeter of the course for now. She didn't want to take any more chances, and she had to agree with Isla's notion that they were definitely not Professor Williamson's favorite students right now. "I think she wants something from you first," Avalon said, gesturing to the wampus, who was staring at Isla intently. Quote:

Of course she didn't keep up with the creature, but she was able to meet her right by the toy not longer after she'd gotten there. "I'm not taking anymore chances," she said to Avalon, who'd decided to jog along, as well. Not that she had much choice with her holding the leash and all. "I think she's looking for a treat, but she doesn't seem to like the ones we have." Look, beggars can't choosers, Fiona.
Isla gave Avalon another apologetic look. "It's not your fault. I guess it's not mine either. I've never even seen a wampus before today." And after that earlier incident, she'd be okay with not seeing one for quite a while longer. She nodded when Avalon pointed out that the Wampus seemed to want something from her. "Professor? You have any other flavors in those treats you've got?" she asked. Maybe it was just the flavor of the treats they'd offered? Catnip and wild deer were two very different things, after all. Why were they apologizing to each other? They should be apologizing to FIONA, heLLo! She was the one who'd been knocked out because of these two. The wampus informed them of this with a loud and impatient MEOWWWW? WWW hadn't wanted to break out the big treats, but here it was, the end of class. Might as well. He sighed and held up a bag of deer jerky that he, personally, had been saving for himself. "Here," he grunted to Isla. "You can try this." Text Cut: Chloe & Aboli Quote:

Sparticus JETTED off in the other direction, tired of being a punching bag for the Wampus, and Aboli ATTEMPTED to scoop up Rufus quickly before Teacup and he could properly get into it. "BAD WAMPUS!" she said in an irritated tone. "I dunno' about you, Chloe, but I'll stick to dogs. Anything that looks like a cat - I don't trust!" Especially not after today! Quote:
Originally Posted by Bazinga Glad that Aboli was thinking by grabbing her wand and just doing a spell, Chloe should have done that, but she had been waiting for permission. At times she seriously needed to not follow directions to the t, but it was all good now, they weren't tied together anymore and she got to her feet and just looked at the creatures around them.
'Teacup, stop before you get hurt." She went to scoop up the cat but all she got was scratched and annoyed. "She can be the sweetest thing, but there are days she is so moody." Today was certainly one of them she thought as she watched her cat hiss once more before walking away.
Teacup was over this and she wanted to go hunt for something else to do. She hissed and swatted at the creature before her human came to pick her up. She was not feeling the pick up routine so she scratched and flipped her tail before turning and headed away from them all. Teacup was over it. Rufus had SUCCEEDED! Free at last, free at last! The wampus took off away from the girls, unfortunately running the opposite direction of the obstacle course and instead back toward the professor. Naturally, WWW was watching this whole debacle and really was agreeing with the Headmaster; these kids were all going to get themselves killed. How hard was it to hold onto a leash? Really? He groaned at the use of magic by one Slytherin, not just because he'd EXPLICITLY told them to not use magic, but because THE MAGIC SHE CHOSE TO USE LET THE WAMPUS RUN FREE.
"Not again!" He cast a quick (and regretful) incarcerous toward the wampus, snaring it ropes and netting essentially. Great great great. "I think you two are done," Williamson grunted toward the girls. "Next time, you could try ASKING for help?" Because he was one of those naturalists who would NOT intervene unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. And also, they needed to learn to rely on themselves and not their wands all the time. Text Cut: Morgan Quote:
Originally Posted by emjay This class had been A LOT and Morgan was a little bit overwhelmed, but he was keeping it together pretty well because it had been mostly fun and cool. Not only did he now have a kneazle that he was totally going to keep, but he got to play with him pretty much the whole class. And there were actual wampuses in class too! But the worst part of it all was that he was basically the last person to have a turn leading the wampus through the course, which meant he had to wait.
But finally it was his turn, his and the second year Slytherin he ended up being partnered with. "Come on, Charlie!" he said to the kneazle he was still carrying with one hand. He had decided to call him that at some point during the class, no real reason other than he looked like a Charlie. "Let's go play with a wampus!"
Assuming his partner was following him, he reached for the leash belonging to Rufus with his free hand and tried to coax him towards the obstacle course. "How about you try to lure him with treats or something and I'll guide him along?" Sounded like as good a plan as any.
The kneazle was getting tired of this human and just wanted to be put down. Letting out a protesting meow, he struggled a bit under the boys arm, especially when he saw the other cat the human was trying to wrangle next. No thanks! This kid…. WWW didn't really take to him yet, particularly since it seemed that his order to 'stay after class' went in one ear and out the other. He eyed the boy when he silently handed over Rufus' leash. Who was this Slytherin with him? Was that kid's name Charlie? Weird. He could've sworn it was Angelo earlier. Rufus didn't need more treats, to be honest. You know what he needed? A toy. He wanted to bat the kneazle out from under the boy's arm, and so he stood up on his hind legs and made a pounce toward Morgan. A BIG POUNCE, whilst doing a SCREAM to really set his kneazle!toy off.
