*Lesson 4- The Ghouls* revamped

[Narcissa Malfoy]

OOC I am sorry everyone, but the previous thread was deleted somehow, so I decided to rewrite the lesson again. Those who have already written here are asked to redo it. Sorry!

IC
Nacissa walked over to the front of the class. She had reserved a surprise for her class today. She looked at them, they were all younger than 15, now that the Advanced class was separated.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to a new class of Defense Against the Dark Arts. I hope you have enjoyed your time since I last saw you!

Today we will be learning about Ghouls. It is a ghostly creature. The difference between them and the ghosts, is that the later have an intact memory, which means that they remember their life before death. The ghosts also have the same intellect as a human.

The ghouls do not remember their life before death, so they do not understand their situation.
The ghouls can shape shift, which a ghost can't. They make as much noise as possible to attract the attention of people.

It can be harmful since it can throw objects, but a simple “Protego” can help you. They live in the attics of houses or in abandoned buildings.

You must have noticed the jewels here. They are all portkeys in earring form. They will transport you to a place where a ghoul lives. All the ghouls selected for this lesson are harmless. You will have to interview the ghoul or the habitants of the house.

As homework, you will have to owl me the impression of your interview.

You have 40 minutes till the porkey brings you back. Remember to put the earrings on, you do not want to loose them do you?” Narcissa was about to open the bag with the earrings, when she remembered something important

“Please write your name and describe your earrings here in this copybook so I know which one of you is where. If you have any problem you can not handle yourself, scream my name, and I will be there in a few seconds.” She pointed at her black bat earrings.

“Now please form a line and come to retrieve your earrings.”[/size][/font]

[Magyn Bellus Wandwip]

(OOC I dont really want to redo it, that took me forever. i went to the shreiking shack with a moon shaped earing. and found a very lathargic ghoul who wasnt into scaring people anymore.He said that after years and years of doing that it got old. He was very sad, and he couldnt remember anythign from his life like you said in the lesson. sorry i just don't remember everything i wrote and it took me forever and it was so long i really dont want to re write it....ill send you the homeowrk though)

[Amber Brown]

ooc: I'll do it over

Amber took notes with her quick quill while Professor Malfoy talked.

Ghouls
Ghostly creatures
Do not remember life before death
Do not understand their situation
Can shape-shift and make as much noise as possible to get attention
Can throw objects
Use the " Protego " spell
Live in attics of houses or abandoned buildings

After she was done taking notes, she went up to the front of the desk and took an earring. Her earing was in the shape of a star. It was blue. She went to the back of the room and held the port key tight in the palm of her hand. She closed her eyes.

Next minute, she was in an abandoned attic. She took out her wand, and whispered, " Lumos " to get some light. As she was looking around, she noticed something. It was a creature. The creature was definitely a ghoul.

She sighed and thought, " Well, here I go ". The first year went up to the ghoul and greeted him. " Hello. I am Amber Brown. Sorry to disturb you, I only need to ask you a few questions. Do you mind? ".

He shook his head in reply.

" Ok. First question: Why do you enjoy being a ghoul? ".

The creature smirked. " I love to make noise and I love the dark ".

She nodded. " Ok, good. Interesting. Now for the second question. Do you remember anything at all about your past? ".

He answered sternly, " No...I don't ". The ghoul clenched his fist.

" One last question.....I know that you can shape-shift. What is your favorite form to shape-shift into? ".

" I like to shape-shift into things that make muggles, even wizards and witches scared. ". He stood up and walked toward the first year. " Now....get out ". A smirk appeared on his face. " Before I shape-shift into something that will scare you....to death ".

" Ok, ok. I'm going now. But...what is your name, if you don't mind me asking ".

" Raltaph ".

" Thank you for your time, Raltaph ". And with that, she got transported back into the classroom. Amber placed the port key on the desk, then went back to her own to do the assignment.

[Lizabeth Riddle]

Lizabeth walked up and grabbed a pair of earrings that looked to be dime dangles she closed her hand and eyes and was automatically she was at a big violet Victorian house she walked up to the dark purple door and knocked a little girl opened it "ello can I talk to your mum" she said the door opened wider to a tall skinny women "hello what may I do for you??" she said in a very nice voice "I'm beth and well I'm doing a school project on ghouls and I would like to ask you and your daughter and maybe the ghoul some questions" she said she was holding her nightmare before Christmas binder to take notes the women gusted to come in and Lizabeth followed she stepped in the door and walked into the living room "I'm Mrs. goon and this is Olivia" said the nice kind women "well its nice too meet both of you" she smiled at the little girl "lets start with you Olivia what shape dose the ghoul turn into to scare you?" she said going down to the girls level and pulling out her note book and a piece of paper to right it all down "a big spider" said Olivia very quietly Lizabeth looked back up to the girl seeing she was scared of spiders "guess what" she said in a type of whisper "I'm afraid of spiders too" she said very quiet as in a little secret she then stud up and winked at her "well Mrs. Goon whats the ghouls name?" she sounded like a reported on a top story "Scolber" she said just then a loud thud "well Olivia would you like to show me wear he lives" she said reaching her hand out Olivia shook her head and grabbed her hand and proceeded up the stairs dragging Lizabeth behind and they got to the Attic door and the girl stopped Lizabeth looked at her watch she had fifteen minutes she left the little girl at the bottom of the stairs which were very old she opened the door just in time to see a box slid across the floor "well ello Scolber I'm beth and I'd like to ask you a quick question what is it that you do to get the attachion of the people that live underneath you?" she asked quickly he looked at her "I throw things and bang around the plumbing thats about it other then holidays which I yowl Christmas tones" he said quickly Lizabeth giggled at his reply and waved "thank you have a good haunting year" she said she booked it down the step and through the house stopping by the door wear the little girl and her mother was "thank you Mrs. Goon you where allot of help and Olivia" she bent down to the girls level and held out a little pink locket "thank you for your help and as long as you wear this spiders wont hurt you not even the ghoul" she said with a smile and she walked out the door just in time to finish and reappear in the DADA class room and started on her assignment

[Blade Tival Maester]

Blade had been sitting in class listening to the professor after she had finished he went up to the front and grabbed a earring with a circle and cross in the center which was a red color. Gripping it tight he was transported with a thud he landed near the front of a house, it was nearing dusk and there wasn't to much light left, as he got up he knew he lost the earring, Mumbling "Lumos" he quickly went to look for it. spotting it he quickly pocket it. 'I'm not about to wear a earing ring' he thought.

Walking up to the house, and knocking on the door, he quickly looked at his watch, he had done waisted 10 minutes, setting it to go off in a half hour.
The door opened, and a middle aged wizard appeared. "Hullo" the man said looking at me. "hello, I'm here to do an assignment on ghouls, and I was wondering if i could interview you about yours?" I replied to the man. He smiled and waved me inside, pointing to a chair, I sat down as did he, sitting across from me.

"So, what do your call your ghoul, If you do that is." I said getting the interview under way.
"We call him bob, his real name was to hard to pronounce." the man replied

"hmm... OK Question two. So what does your ghoul do mostly to attract the attention of you guys?" I asked.
"Well he likes to do the usual ghoul things, you know rattle the pipes, transform and scare the children when there over." the man replied

"OK now, what does he like to turn into to scare the children?" I asked looking at my watch it was almost time to go.
"well, He loves to turn into a hippogryff, and for some reason the children just go crazy, and freak out and run, But they almost have fun with each other doing so." The man replied with a smile.

No Sooner than the man had said that a giant hippogryff appeared next to me. "Ah" I yelp jumping and falling out of my chair. Rubbing the spot were I fell on I looked up at was now a ghoul, you could tell he was Laughing at me.

"SO since your here, I have a question for you, since I can guess you were listening. Whats your real name?"
"My name is Thalzarae."the ghoul said. and then disappeared

Just then my watch beeped, so I stood up, shook the man's hand, letting go I grabbed the portkey and was transported back to the class, Dopping the earrings back into the box I went to do my assignment.

[Narcissa Malfoy]

Narcissa approached the students that had returned.

"Very good!! I hope you enjoyed the experience! Please leave the earrings in that box over there. Wait in your desks untill the bell rings."[/size][/font]

[Brittany Mirane]

Brittany walked into calss and sat i the back and listened to what Proffesor Malfoy had to say about ghouls. She the got up and walked over and got a earings off the table they were pink and they we're lighting bults she then went to the back and closed her eyes and help the portkey tight.

Next thing she knew she was in a aboden buliding she put the earings on and set her watch not wanting to go beon the 40 minutes she then guped ' okay i can do this' she thought.

she walked and took a seat hello i'm Brittany "i was wondering if i could ask you a few quesions?" "if you must" "alright whats your name to start?" "steve" he said in a dark voice "okay next do remeber anything from your past?" "i try but no" "do you enjoy your life as a ghoul?" "yes the dark is nice and making noise is enjoyable" "what shape-shifts do you do to scare people?" "spiders snakes what not" "okay-'

but suddenly her watch beeped "i have to go now but thankyou for your time" the ghoul nodded and brittany took the earngs and closed her eyeds and like that she was back in the class she put the earings in the tin and went back to her seat and started the assigment.

[Magyn Bellus Wandwip]

Magyn then returned her earings and went sat down in her seat, packed up her books and waited for the bell to ring, she watxhed as other students returned, wondering if what their experience was like, was it like hers. or a bit more interesting? she thought maybe she would ask some of them later. When the bell finally rang magyn picked up her things and walked out of the classroom and headed off to the common room to complete the homework assignment.

[Melody Valentine]

Melody went into class and took a seat. She heard she was going to interview ghouls. Hmm..interesting She stood up and waited for her turn to take a pair of earrings. The shape of the earrings were water droplets.

As she clutched her pair of earrings, she appeared in a dark attic. There she saw a pair of yellow eyes. "Lumos, she said quickly," There, she saw a Ghoul. "Hi, I'm Melody, mind if I ask you a few questions?" she said hopefully."Okay, now on with it" the ghoul said rudely. Oh my...back to the project!

"What is your best form for shape-shifting?"

"Big hairy spiders, I suppose,"

"Next question, what is your favourite past times?"

"I love creating noise and screaming as loud as I can to make people annoyed,"

"I'm impressed, okay this is the last question, which will you choose to be, a ghost or a ghoul and why?"

"You should be," he grinned. "I would prefer to be a ghoul because I can shape shift and disturb people,it's my job,"

"Okay, thanks for your help, by the way, can I know your name?" "It's Gibb," "Thanks again,"As soon as that, reappeared back at class and started on her homework.

[Narcissa Malfoy]

"Miss O'Connery, aren't you a 6th year? You should be in my Advanced DADA class, right?

You can not be in both."[/size][/font]

Lizabeth took her earing off and put them in the box "thank you Professor the lesson was awsome" she said and went to her desk and packed all her books and her large cellaction of pencals wich were in a black box with happy bunny stickers all over it in her Black Jack the Pumkin king side back pack and when the bell rang she jumped up and dashed out the door to catch up with Magyn

[Blade Tival Maester]

Hearing the bell ring Blade got up. Sighing and checking his pockets to make sure the earring weren't in there. He picked up his bag slinging it over one shoulder and left the room.

[Narcissa Malfoy]

"Everyone, the lesson finishes in 10 minutes. Please hurry up and finish your work." Narcissa said to the students.

Stephine walked into class and listened to Professor Malfoys name the characteristics on Ghouls. She then got out of her seat grabbed a note- book and a pen and went to get her earing's. She picked up a pair that we're gold hoop earing's. Then Stephine closed her eyes and and next minute she was in a anbonoed attic, she put the earing's on not wanting to lose them.

She then took a seat in a chair sitting across from the Ghoul "Hello I'm Stephine and i was wondering if i could ask a few questions?"

"Alright"

"Okay to start what's it like being a ghoul?"

"It's pretty good, i make loud noises and the dark is always good."

"Next what type of Shape-shifts do you do?"

"Harry spiders large snakes, but i do snakes the best."

"Do remember anything what so ever from you past?"

"Well thank you for you time Terrance" Stephine said shaking the ghouls and. She then took the earing's from her ear and transported back to class. Stephine put the earing's in the metal tin and the grabbed her bag and left class.

[Olivia Williams]

'an interview with a goul?' olivia thought to herself. 'how very interesting. my sister will never believe me.' thinking to herself about her sister nikolena's response, olivia took a scroll of parchment and a well inked quillwith her to get a pair of earrings (red with black jet beads). upon picking the earrings up she began to spin about very fast as the portkey took affect.

in little to no time at all she opened her eyes and looked about at her new surroundings. it was a rather large barn that smelled of damp hay. remembering what professor malfoy said, olivia put the earrings on so as not to lose them. as she did so she glanced around. her large blue-gray eyes took in everything from a rusting barrel in the corner to the broken door that was gently flapping from the cool breeze.
"i thought ghouls were supposed to be noisy..." she mumbled to herself. "i wonder where it-" a chill ran down her spine as she got the sudden sensation of being watched. slowly, she turned around and came face to face with her quarry. it began to growl at her as they faced off with each other.
"AAh!" she quickly stiffled her scream as she tried to acustom herself to the thing two feet ahead of her, staring. it was quite ugly really; buck-toothed and slimy, it did not give the impression of being a very clever creature.
"erm, hello!" oliva said, with a false attempt at being cheery. "my name is olivia. i am a student at hogwarts. i was curious if i might be able to ask you a few questions?" the ghoul stared back at her as if it had never seen a student before, which oliva reminded herself that it probably hadnt. the ghoul however nodded as though inviting her to ask away.
"alright then. have you always lived with this particular wizarding family?"
the ghoul began moaning in reply and although the response was a bit muddled in words, it sounded slightly positive. olivia took this response as equaling a 'yes' and decided that yes and no questions would most likely be the best form to use in this case.
"i see," she stated as she jotted it down. "do you enjoy residing in this barn? do you feel you make enough noise to be noticed?"
again, the ghoul's response was far from being recognizable speech. it once more appeared that it was confirming the statements as being true. shortly after this, the ghoul became interested in a spider that had begun to spin a web just mere feet away on a beam. this gave olivia inspiration for another question.
"and do you get enough to eat here? only i havent really noticed any moths flying around at-" with one swift movement, the ghoul reached out and snatched the spider from its uncompleted web and devoured it.
"well i suppose that is a yes," she mumbled while marking it down. looking down at her watch she realized that to return before the end of class, things would need to be wrapped up soon.
"if you wouldnt mind i have one more question for you." it shot her a look that might have been disdain- as though it couldnt believe that she had the nerve to interupt its meal -but as ghouls were not particularly sharp, olivia highly doubted it.
"right, well, do you remember anything before you came to reside in this barn?"
the moan that came this time was much lower than the previous ones. it sounded so much more melancholy. the strange thing was that, for some reason, olivia seemed to understand it a bit more than she had before. the ghoul made a moan that quite simply seemed to say 'i cant remember anything before today.'
"how sad...."
all at once the portkey began to regain effect and olivia was returned to her DADA classroom. after returning her earrings to professor malfoy, she returned to her seat and began to write out her impression of the interview.

[Narcissa Malfoy]

"Olivia how nice!!! It was indeed the most interesting interview I have ever read! Well done my dear!"[/size][/font]

[Narcissa Malfoy]

OOC This thread is closed. The lesson is over.

Narcissa heard the bell ringing.

"I hope everyone finished the classwork. Do not forget to owl me your homework! See you next time!" she almost yelled over the noise that students made while leaving.[/size][/font]
