We Will Go Down In History (Remus X OC)

Chapter 8

"Alright class! This year is your 5th meaning that at the end of the year you will have your O. W. L. S
so we have a tight schedule to finish this year. So no playing with the creatures, we are here to learn."

Yes, we knew, not every teacher had to remind every single day that we had O. W. L. S at the end of the year.

Here I was in Professor Kettleburn's class, today we were learning about Nifflers. I enjoyed this class but it wasn't the easiest.

I remember in our third year Peter got burned by a Blast-Ended Skrewts and last year, I think I nearly got stabbed by a unicorn. They are beautiful creatures, but who would have thought they were so aggressive and vicious.

"Alright I want everyone to pick a niffler to work with, today I'm going to show you how to bathe and feed a niffler without it running away with your belongings, Viel would you please go first,"

Of course she was also in this class, I don't think there was a single class I took she wasn't in.

She walk towards the table were about 20 Nifflers were sitting. The second she stood in front of them they all approached her, raising their paws as to say, "pick me,"

"Well as always, the creatures have a large affection for you Viel,"

As always? This was our first class this year with live creatures, how would he know?

"Alright, now one by one I want the rest of you to come up and pick a niffler, Remus why don't you come up now?"

Oh great! creatures didn't usually like being around me, they probably knew what I was.

I approached the table I took the closest one to me that had looked up at me when I came near. The second I held it, it tried to escape, clearly he didn't like me.

It climed over my shoulders and pulled on my clothes trying to leave,

"Lupin please calm your niffler," the teacher called out, staring at me with a frown,

I tried my best but it would stop struggling, after a few minutes of failed attempts, Viel tapped me on the shoulder.

"Here," she handed me her niffler, "he's calm, let's exchange, it's fine,"

I didn't know if we were allowed to do that but I didn't refuse. I handed her my niffler and the second I did, it calmed down. She then gently placed her niffler into my arms and left.

It seemed peaceful and calm, nearly half asleep, but the second we started bathing the nifflers it had lost it's peacefulness.

I was constantly turning around looking Viel and her niffler, who was calm and not at all stressed. How did she do it? How did she manage to keep them so calm?

There you go, that's what you get.

"Mr lupin!" screamed the teacher running after my niffler, I had let escape,

"oh dear, this isnt gonna be good news is it?" I sighed I was definitely getting detention for this as I watched my niffler steal people necklaces, bracelets, earrings and even their hair ties for some reason.

One girl, petrified, as my niffler climbed onto her, let go of her own, which followed by letting another 3 nifflers run away.

It was complete choas, 3 nifflers had ran up to the castle as two others run towards the lake.

"That's it!" yelled professor Kettleburn , "class dismissed, Mr lupin come see me now! You will be spending detention with me this evening, I repeated 4 times for you to watch your niffler and yet you still ignored my advice and let it escape!"

He was right, on multiple occasions he told me to stop letting my imagination wonder off,but I couldn't stop turning around to look at Viel.
