Lesson had began and now after the student had already had one days worth of lessons it was time for another. It was Faye first lesson ever at Hogwarts and she was defiantly looking forward to it. That morning she had not been present at breakfast as she had rose very early and gone down to the kitchen to grab some breakfast before she had headed down to what she called the care of magical creatures paddock which was adjacent to the building that was used for the classroom. She had spent Monday tending to the new mother and foal that had arrived at Hogwarts. Yes over the summer Hogwarts had received two new unicorns. This was to replace the ones that had been killed in the forbidden forest but they had been hesitant to get some more as Unicorns preferred a woman's touch. And now that they had a female Care Of Magical Creatures professor they decided to bring them over.
So at eight O'clock Faye was already walking down the beaten path toward the paddock where the new arrivals had settled in. She could she the mother from a distance glistening a white mare though she couldn't see the silver glint of the three year old foal. He must still be in the stable. Faye thought to herself as she closed the gap between her and the paddock. When she got the she whistle and the mare came over allowing Faye to stroke her mane. "Your a lovely girl aren't you." She said before opening the paddock gate to go an locate the young foal. Entering the stable she found him there curled up in the hay. She could see his eyes was open so she went over to one of the buckets and took of the lid take a carrot out. The young foal head pricked up and slowly came over to her and took the carrot from her hand. Once finished Faye tapped him on the back and he trotted outside to join his mother.
Now with both unicorns outside she closed the stable door and exited the paddock after filling there food and water bucket for them to let them have there own breakfast. Then she entered the classroom to sort out the remaining paper work she had making sure that they had all the supplies they needed to take care of the schools magical creatures. But when it started to approach the hour the lesson was to begin Faye glanced out of the classroom window to find that students where on there way down to attend the class. So filing the paper work away she left the classroom before seating herself one the paddock fence where the students crowded around her. She greeted those how greeted her though not many did as they didn't know her name. And she didn't know theirs either but that was to be expected being a new professor.
When it seemed that most of the student had arrived Faye smiled at them all before beginning the lesson. "Ok class gather round. My name is Faye O'Callaghan though of course you'll just called me Professor O'Callaghan. And as you may have guess I will be you Care Of Magic Creature professor for this year and hopefully many more." She said as she scanned over the class. " Today's lesson we will be focusing on the spectacular beast of the unicorn. Though I must warm those of you who are male among us that you must not get to close to the adult here as they don't particularly like the company of males." She said making sure that the male student understood what she had said. "Now as you can see the mare here is a brilliant white which is the colouring they get once they are seven, and the foal here is silver the colouring they get at the age of two. Where as foals younger than two are a glistening gold." She told them before posing her first question. "So can anybody tell me a use for part of the unicorn?"
