DADA for Muggles [Wednesday, December 2, 5th period]

[siriuslyscarred.livejournal.com]

In the center of the room, surrounded by random tiny pine trees was a small green creature in a cage, looking very, very cranky.

But then, so was Sirius. He'd gotten bit the night before as they'd been capturing the gremlin for class and had spent a very uncomfortable hour singing about a cake he'd left out in the rain (and he'd never have that recipe again, oh no). "This is a gremlin," he said, pointing with his wand.

Remus was in much, much better spirits today. Mostly because he'd told Sirius to wear gloves, but had he listened? Nooo. So Remus got to laugh at that terrible, terrible song. "I understand that some of you may have already had some experience with these lovely creatures. While they aren't exactly dark creatures, they certainly are irritating, aren't they?"

"Yes," Sirius answered sulkily for them. "Please share any experiences you've had with these...things...and then feel free to come closer and examine it. If you get bitten, I will laugh."

Because Sirius was all about nurturing the students.

"And there are gloves," Remus added, gesturing to the box. "Should you choose to employ them." He looked sidelong at Sirius, smirking slightly.

"Thank you, Moony," Sirius replied, glaring back.

Use the gloves if you're smart a wimp. Don't let the thing out of the cage. Mod your gremlin bites, if you're in the mood!

Yeah, Firekeeper was peering curiously at the gremlin. And snarling back at it when it attempted to lunge at her through the bars.

Andy at first was worried that the gremlin in the cage was his friend Gus, but a closer look confirmed this was an entirely different gremlin.

"Hey buddy," Andy greeted him, keeping out of biting range, and eyeing the gremlin closely. He was totally ready to suggest it if it looked like it was going to try and bite him anyway.

Effy had been lucky so far (oh so lucky) when it came to gremlins. She wasn't wearing gloves, but she also wasn't intending to touch the fucking thing. Looking only from this girl.

Watching other people's humiliation was a whole different thing. That she didn't mind.

Alex's hands were tucked in his pockets and he was standing a safe distance away (probably behind other students) to make sure he didn't end up some gremlin bite victim.

He'd never live that down.

Didi wore gloves and,/i> kept her arms well out of reach of the cage as she inspected the gremlin.

She loved all living things. She was just a little dubious about this one.

....Yeeeeah, Francine would be standing vaguely near the cage with her hands behind her back. Seen one, fed one, wore gold foil pasties for one, cried over the now-ironic gayifying antics of another. She'd enjoyed about as much of gremlins as she could stand.

Sam had gloves on even though he was keeping about six inches of space between himself and the cage. He'd gone three and a half years without getting bitten, so he wasn't going to take a chance now.
