Who: (Professor) Garrett Hawke & You
Where: Various locales around Hogland. Wonderwarts? Whatever.
When: 1st-5th
Rating: PG-ish
Summary: Care of Magical Creatures classes are in session, and a general purpose log for Hawke during the event.
The Story:
Third Years » Grounds
Third year classes might not be the most exciting, but Professor Hawke looks forward to the new batch of third years every time. New faces and slowly figuring out who has a genuine interest in the class and isn't just looking for an easy time make for fun classes.
For the professor, at least.
Today's lessons take place on the grounds, where Garrett has taken the time to divide a large section of the land into separate spaces. A large cage filled with birds is on one half, while a series of boxes are set up in the other half. Professor Hawke waits in the middle, his mabari at his side, sitting patiently. As the students approach, a grin makes its way across Hawke's face and he spreads his arms.
"Welcome to class! I have two creatures for you today, but I'm only going to tell you what one of them is. For those of you who want to attempt the challenge, make your way to the cage and wait for me. The rest of you, follow me."
Hawke gestures towards the lingering students and heads towards the boxes, "Ordinarily, knarls are an OWL level topic because they can get violent, but you've all done exceptionally well, I thought you'd be up for it. Inside each box you'll find a hedgehog, a knarl and a few objects; food, toys, things like that. Your task for today is to correctly identify the knarl."
Of course, not every box has a knarl, but that's part of the task.
Once they're settled, Hawke makes his way back to the students waiting by the cage and rubs his hands together. "Right! Inside the cage is a species of magical creature, your task for today is to not only successfully identify the creature, but capture it -- without harming it, remember -- and keep it from getting away until class ends," he explains as he unlocks the cage and ushers the students inside.
"First person to identify it gets 10 points!"
Fourth Years » Lake
In an unusual twist, the fourth years are directed to the lake for today's lesson, where they'll find Professor Hawke standing at the shore and... tossing various foodstuffs into the lake? He's clearly not enjoying it, which is strange in itself, given his general enthusiasm in class and the halls.
"Come on, why are you so shy today?"
He grumbles, and the sound of approaching footsteps jars him out of his grumpy mood and he shifts seamlessly into a grin and rubs his hands together as he looks at his students. "Welcome, welcome. I'm sure by now you've figured out what the intended subject of today's lesson was meant to be," behind Hawke, a tentacle raises out of the water and waves to the students before disappearing underneath the surface when Hawke turns around to see what the students are reacting to.
"But since it seems to be in a mood today, I have something else in mind. But this might be better. So, students, your task for today is: Befriend the giant squid! You have nothing to worry about, it won't ever hurt you -- and it might actually save your life if you find yourself in trouble in the lake."
Fifth Years » Grounds
The fifth years are directed to the familiar kennels they've been visiting all year as part of their semester long task of raising a Crup. Where he appears to be having a conversation with his mabari, who, naturally, isn't responding with anything other than a series of looks. "Right!" He starts without looking up at the students, "Find your assigned Crup and take a few minutes to check them over. When you're all done, I have a test for you all."
While he waits for the students to obey, he goes back to talking to his mabari in whispers, periodically looking up to check the students and shouting out the answers to any questions they might have. "Today we're going to be testing how far you've come in training them. In each cell you'll find a box with a steak inside. Your task for today is to ensure the steak makes it to the end of the period, through sheer obedience. You won't fail if the steak is eaten, but every steak that makes it to the end will earn their house five points."
Sixth Years » Edge of the forest
Professor Hawke had been hesitant about this lesson, which is a rare thing indeed, considering he has a dragon on the grounds, but death is a sensitive subject. Which is why he fought for permission to have a flock of hippogriffs brought to the school. When his students meet him at the edge of the forest, he looks unusually somber but doesn't comment on it and instead directs them inwards.
"You've all seen the subject of today's lesson before, whether you realise it or not," Hawke explains as they make their way inwards and towards a forest clearing where the thestrals and hippogriffs await, separated by a large margin, of course.
"Who can tell me what creatures I'm talking about?"
Seventh Years » A cave
It's amazing he hasn't been fired for this, really. But perhaps the Headmistress thinks about the amount of injuries he suffers taking care of the thing is punishment enough. The seventh year students are directed to a rather nondescript cave entrance on the grounds, where Professor Hawke waits against the wall and barely able to contain his glee. The mabari's nowhere to be found today -- apparently it doesn't get along so well with dragons -- so it's just him.
"I've been waiting for this lesson all week, so let's get started," he says as he draws out his wand and starts removing the spells on the entrance so they can get in. "Oh and, if I find any of you near here, for any reason, without my explicit supervision, you'll be helping me clean out the owlery."
Hawke falls silent after that, concentrating on removing the spells and reapplying them behind the students as they traverse the cave until eventually they come to a large, incredibly so, cavern. He gestures for them to wait as he moves forward slowly, his wand stashed away, and hands raised up before a small winged creature flies out of the darkness and lands in front of him.
"There you are. Aren't you gorgeous? Alright, everybody needs to be extremely careful because Matron Cullen will have my head if any of you end up in the hospital wing again. Today we're going to be feeding him, and I want each of you to sketch the anatomy of him."
Everyone Else » Anywhere
Want to see Hawke elsewhere, whether in Hogwarts or Hogsmeade? Go nuts. He can mostly be found where the creatures are in Hogwarts, but you'll often catching him in or leaving the hospital wing. During the Hogsmeade visit, he'll be found with a mug of Butterbeer and alternately taking a break and keeping an eye on the students.

no subject
"Fortunately, his diet is mainly sheep so we don't have to worry about any dietary complications."
no subject
"Mainly?" Tim repeats warily. "Like - does he go after birds when the mood strikes him, or something?"
no subject
Hawke turns to make sure the rest of the class is behaving themselves before smiling at Tim.
"Wanna give feeding him a try?"
no subject
"Sure?" says Tim, less out of any actual desire to feed the dragon and more because he's not exactly sure how to refuse. "Do I just...toss the thing at him?"
