Vixen scribbled furiously everything she heard about the Phoenix. If she wanted to be a vetrenarian to magical creatures, or something like that, it paid to know the fact from the fiction, and to know the lot so that you could tell people where they went wrong so that they would know not to do that again.
Vixen swallowed her shyness. If she wanted to know something, she had to ask. It shouldn't matter if everyone else knows and laughs at her for asking, she wanted to know everything worth knowing about every magical creature there was. Animals and magical creatures were life, bread and water for her.
She stuck a pale hand up tentatively.
"Professor Barches? Who takes care of the reborn Phoenix chick? And how fast will it grow to be an adult again?"
Vixen knew that normal baby birds were helpless when they were small, and could easily be eaten by predators. Their best protection was parents and a secure nest that they couldn't fall out of.
Vixen was prepared to dedicate her life to orphaned animals and magical creatures, if someone would just help her to know how.

Immy smiled when she saw Silver wave to her. Maybe it is okay if I come in... She slid silently through the room over to an empty place, hoping not to disturb the lesson. Immy pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill. Quickly, she began writing down the information about Phoenixes from the blackboard.
Once written, she began to wonder what all about Phoenixes she would like to learn. There were so many things. How to care for them, how they are in the wild, what they like and dislike, and what all can their healing tears be used for. Those thoughts being only a few of Immy's. Her hand slowly raised into the air.
"What are Phoenixes like? I mean, are they nice natured?"
She hoped her question wouldn't sound too dense. Her mother had told her a bit about Phoenixes, but mainly about legends and their brilliant colors.

Ren sat in her chair, amazed just as everyone else was. She decided to pull out her sketch pad and a pencil, like the muggles used. She made a rough drawing of the magnificent creature, while paying close attention to the professor's words.

Ribbon carefully modulated her voice to under the teachers but continued to smile at the timid girl, "I'm sure you'll do fine Silver, at least you don't have things to unlearn, I have all sorts of muggle superstitions to work out in the process of taking in new information. Also I think she picked the phoenix because many people have heard legends, like I'm sure you've even heard of it in some context, its very widespread." Ribbon hoped that she hadn't worried the girl more, she was trying to make her feel better.

Rob was running late for his first class, care of magical creatures, he had always been interested in normal animals and was certain he would be in magical animals. He could see the class already in deep conversation, and sidled into them, trying not to make much noise. Unfortunately he made the mistake of tripping over a twig. This startled the phoenix, and soon the whole class was in uproar, as they wathced it fly away. "Oh, no why does it always happen to me!" he groaned

Rozlynn's eyes were still wide with the fact that a phoenix sat before her very eyes. She reached up a single hand to make sure her mouth was closed. She raised a hand shyly. "Professor, exactly how does a phoenix court another and how often does one have chicks?" Haley was apparently in the back listening to the girl's question. She looked towards the girl that was on the other side of the room. "Well of what ive heard was that a Phoenix only lives for about 500 years and when they feel that they need to reborn they grab some branches and spice and build as their nest then set it on fire and then they are reborn. And to answer your second question, there has only been one Phoenix in the Greeks times, and so they just burn themselves every 500 years and are reborn. Haley smiled sweetly at the girl and then to the professor hoping she answered the girl's question correctly.

"Nice Phoenix" Said Eclipse from the back of the room. "Where did you get that phoenix?" Eclipse was wide eye at the magnificant bird.
