Care for Magical Creatures; Period One. [ 12/08 ]

Today, Minsc's Danger Shop classroom was set up with all sorts of things that might help make a critter's stay in the room much more comfortable: comfy pillows, warm blankets, bowls of food and water, puff balls and thick shoelaces to play with, and he hoped that, like Boo, everyone else's animals had transformed back to their normal states today, as well, or else this would be a much more interesting class than he had bargained for.

"Good morning, students!" he greeted them. "A few thing to note: I have your papers for you and they were all very good! I am impressed! I hope you can be as impressive on your final exam next week! This week, however, I hope you remembered to bring your pets, those of you who have them! It is show and tell day! I know we did something similar to this at the beginning of the semester, but now you've a whole semester's worth of knowledge about magical creatures under your belts, and maybe that has put certain things into perspective about your own critters."

There was a slight pause.

"That, and I'm pretty sure that they were actually people this weekend; that should be a good perspective! How did you feel about that? Did you learn anything new from them being a person? What were they like as a person? Please include all this fascinating information about your experiences, and don't hesitate to ask each other questions! If you have no pets, did you meet anyone else's pets this weekend? What was that like for you?"

"For example," Minsc offered, "Boo was a person this weekend, and, as a result, I have almost no food in my house at the moment. It takes a lot more to feed a person than it does to feed a hamster!"

"Your turn." He motioned to one student, beckoning for them to start.

She nodded after a moment's thought. "There would not have been time to take care of an animal adequately with my schedule. it would have been unfair to them."

"We were up before sunrise and usually studied far into the night," Helen said. "I often find myself quite at loose ends here with so little to do."

"Well, there were practical lessons, too," she said. "Weapons and combat and languages and some magic."

"I liked it," Helen said, looking a little wistful.
