DADA for Muggles [Wednesday, January 13]
Today's classroom was set up as a farmer's market. Under the enchanted sky (today a dull, cloudy grey, as Sirius was a bit homesick for the winters at home), students would find various bins full of produce--potatoes, and cabbages--as well as some more unusual objects, like logs and sticks.
"Today we deal with enemies who prefer to hide in plain sight," Sirius began when the class had finally assembled. "Since this is your first practical exercise in this class, we're starting you off small. Each of these bins contains completely ordinary objects, as well as the magical creatures who resemble them. None of them are particularly dangerous, as these things go, but they will take a chance to nip at your fingers, so wear the gloves if you'd like."
"These creatures," Remus continued, "all might hail from our world, but they employ camouflage such as what's found in the Muggle world. Many animals have markings that resemble their habitat, so as to hunt their prey or escape their predators. In the case of these creatures, they disguise themselves so as to lure unsuspecting people into touching them. Today, we'd like for you to differentiate dugbogs from logs, bowtruckles from sticks, gnomes from potatoes and Chinese Chomping Cabbages from...cabbages." He flicked his wand, and a stack of parchment floated from desk to desk, depositing a description of creatures at each.

SG-1 was bad about not playing nice.

At least the ones he had seen.
