Mr. Quackers delivers. Note is heavily warded and charmed to show pictures of exotic animals for anyone else.

Stephen and Sarah met Rose just as promised in mid-morning. It was time to go meet the lemur!
Like most of the doctor's live animals, the lemur lived in the Care of Magical Creatures shed. Arrangements had been made for their care, as they were not at all magical, but would have been rather messy and annoying to have wandering about the castle proper. The trio made their way to the shed without incident, the day bright and sunny, the weather clear. The light should be good for immortalizing the lemur on film!

Upon receiving his letter from the Sorting Hat, for a moment Remus couldn't believe his good fortune. After so many months - so many years - he would actually be teaching his favorite subject again, his area of expertise. He was completely thrilled - so thrilled, in fact, that he wanted to tell someone about it right now. Anyone would do - even Homsar. Or Cox, which really tells you how thrilled he was.
So bursting with the news, he left his office, still clutching the letter, hoping to run into a friend or enemy or blibbling professor at the Ravenclaw bar.
((OOC - the common room door is open, so come one, come all...))

Morfin feels that he's been negligent. He hasn't been going to very many Sortings to meet the new students! Someone really should welcome them! And he hasn't held group therapy in such a very long time -- he really should be keeping up with his old acquaintances to see how they're doing and whether making therapeutic paper-bag puppets helped them!
Well, something has to be done about this. Resolute, Morfin develops a Plan. It isn't much of a plan. It mostly involves making fliers with markers, and then having the house elves post them up around school. And getting the house elves to make cake and stuff. House elves are pretty convenient. But Morfin doesn't think of them as conveniences, he thinks of them as unique and special in their own way!
So, the following flier appears plastered all over the school:
( Morfin is artistic )
And then Morfin, excited, goes to the Great Hall to await his guests.
(( Comment notification is turned off so feel free to do what you like! Sadly, applicants who haven't yet been Sorted can't attend because they're still to be in the Sorting Room, but everyone else is welcome, and I do mean everyone! ))

Care of Magical Creatures Sign-Up

The notice appears throughout campus. It's in Oz's writing, but it's Grant's words.
"This is the sign-up sheet for Care of Magical Creatures. In order to adhere to safety protocol for larger animals, students are expected to work in pairs. Please put down your name, House and partner.
Extra credit:
1. What are three types of respiratory structures?
2. Explain concurrent and countercurrent gas exchange."
((Students can use this sheet to ICly arrange pairs. If there are students without partners when the class starts, they will be randomly paired up. Your characters can answer the extra credit when they sign-up.))

((For the purpose of explaining why they're so delayed, I'm assuming this happens after Ryuuji and Wolfram are kidnapped by giant bees. The OOC reason is that mod/IRL stuff kept me kinda too busy to get my act together, sorry, but I've got no clue how this works with Ryuuji being there for the wolfhunt/lessons, except maybe to say that he was shadow-projecting or cloning himself the way Naruto showed him.))

The full moon was just peering over the horizon as Remus nudged open the castle doors and padded out onto the castle steps. He had already suffered the pain and indignity of his monthly transformation, but had recovered well and was now feeling relatively fit, with the evening breeze ruffling his fur and the stones cool beneath his paws. It had been a very long time since he'd left his office following his transformation, and he had forgotten how keen his senses were: the great variety of scents, the sounds which normally would be outside a human's range of hearing. He flicked his ears and sat down, thoughtfully scratching himself.
He had sent out owls to Stephen and Ryuuji prior to moonrise, asking them to join him here, and Sirius and James were close behind him. It was going to be a splendid night - and hopefully a few evil clowns would meet their maker between his powerful jaws. He was looking forward to it.

Ryuuji: Welcome, one and all, to the first ever themed edition of WART! Stephen and I are going to your hosts for tonight, and we've decided to make the show revolve around Potions and Evil Clowns -- or more specifically, the repelling and hunting down of Evil Clowns. First, before you do anything, get your shot glasses out and make some Evil Clown Repellant to chug down while you listen to the show. Stephen and I have already taken a shot each, and we'll be taking a shot before each song played, just for luck. Stephen, would you do the honors of reading out the recipe for Evil Clown Repellent Red?
Stephen: *clears throat and intones solemnly* To make Evil Clown Repellent Red, you will need six ounces of spirits -- vodka works quite well -- six ounces of water, and three ounces of powdered animal hoof that has been colored red and has some sort of flavor associated with the concept of redness. In a clean cauldron, boil the water together with the spirits. Carefully add the powdered animal hoof and be sure to blend it thoroughly, else there will be unappealing lumps, and the effectiveness against clowns will suffer.
Pour the resulting mixture into small cups and give it to the house elf to put somewhere cool, God knows where they put things around here. Then have the house elf bring it back when it has become sort of congealed.
Ingest with courage and zeal!
( And so, the fun begins. )

Logan ushered Laura through into Ravenclaw with a bow - if he was going to get teased for being theatrical, he might as well make the most of it. The mix of intellectual austerity and the more recent lushiness was, as ever, a source of amusement. "What d'you think?"

Laura made her way carefully down the path to the lake, glancing around for signs of life. No one else was visible.
This time she'd remembered a jacket. Its weight kept the evening chill off her and gave her comfort against the unsettling thought of fencing once again with Ichimaru Gin. Lines from Susan and Logan's owls about the man kept chasing themselves around her head.
Steeling herself, she approached the lakeshore and kicked pebbles around with the toe of her shoe while she waited for Gin to arrive.
