INTRODUCTION
Hello students, I am your teacher, hermione but you can call me ms. granger. Here, you will be learning about magical creatures. our curriculum this year is about underwater creatures and we will start out with the kelpie.
lesson one: kelpie
- Kelpie form, they usually take the form of a horse with a bullrush mane. After luring unwary travellers onto their backs, they drag them underwater and eat them... thecreature's head. Kelpie hair can be used as a wand core, although it is said to be an inferior substance when compared with Unicorn hair, Phoenix feather...
lesson two: merpeople
- Merpeople of vampires and hags) that live underwater, and are found all over the world. Their customs and habits are mysterious, and, like the Centaurs, they refused... a few Wizards know how to speak it. However, since their language can only be heard properly underwater, it sounds like a loud screeching when spoken...
lesson three: inferi
An Inferius (plural: Inferi) is a dead body, reanimated by a Dark Wizard, similar to a zombie. They have no free will, and cannot think for themselves; their purpose is merely to serve as puppets of the Dark Wizard who reanimated them. They were used by Lord Voldemort in both the First Wizarding War and the Second Wizarding War. It is mentioned that the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald also sought to create an army of Inferi. It is unknown as to whether he succeeded. Inferi are created through the magical branch of Dark Arts called Necromancy.
lesson four: the giant squid
The hogwarts Giant Squid was a creature that lived in the lake of hogwarts. Despite the generalised fear of it, the Giant Squid was actually very docile and helpful to the students of Hogwarts, such as when Dennis Creevey fell into the Lake, and he was immediately pushed safely back into the boat. The squid was also known to have played with students, such as when Fred Weasley, George Weasley and Lee Jordan tickled its tentacles as it was lying part way out of the lake, and to have accepted food from students, such as when he received toast from Hermione Granger.
