Lena
Alright! Lena patiently waited for the next lesson to start. She opened her book and wrote down Hungarian Horntail and Norwedgian Ridgeback at the top of the next pages in her book. She would be learning about dragons she already knew, but all the same she was very happy to be listening to a lesson about them and would surely learn more details about them.

'I shall begin the lesson tomorrow,' Kalle said excitedly.
{Sorry for the change of plans, my father is stealing the computer from me -.-}

Cloud grinned excitedly. A Norwegian Ridgeback and a Hungarian Horntail! She was great fans of both species, and greatly looked forward to it. Turning the page in her notebook, Cloud wrote "Norwegian Ridgeback" on top of the first page, and "Hungarian Horntail" on the second.

(It's ok, I understand. Happens to me sometimes and it can be quite frustrating.)

"I see, thank you for answering, professor~" Meiko said with a nod as she write some info about it on her notebook. After a while, the professor said the lesson will begin tomorrow. She smiles as she thought. "Interesting, a Norwegian Ridgeback and a Hungarian Horntail~"
Meiko began to walk out of the forest, saying goodbye to the others.

'Welcome Al. Be sure to catch up with your studies, you will need to write a test on dragons when we are finished this lesson,' said Kalle kindly. She did not want to frighten them with the thought of a test, no matter how simple and easy it would be. 'I shall begin now,' she added finally.

The Norwegian Ridgeback is a dragon native to Norway, and mainly desires to live in the Northern mountains. The eggs of the Ridgeback are jet black, but have slightly lighter, patchy areas. The Ridgeback grows to be an average length of approximately thirty-five feet. Their skin is typically a brown colour, though sometimes green hues may appear around their spine or throat. Ridgebacks can breathe fire to attack their prey, or use their venomous fangs. The Norwegian Ridgeback will eat almost any large mammal found in Norway, as well as water mammals; which is a rare choice for a dragon. They also develop the ability to shoot flame earlier than any other breed currently known to the wizarding world. Another interesting behaviour commonly found in Ridgebacks is that the females are considerably more ferocious than the males of the species.
The Hungarian Horntail is considered the most dangerous dragon breed known to the wizarding world, and resides in most areas of Hungary. The Horntail's egg is very hard, and of a grey colour greatly resembling cement. An adult Horntail will reach an average length of approximately fifty feet; and, curiously enough, so can its flames. They are said to have black skin, though their colouration is very similar to that of the Ridgeback's, if only slightly darker around the head and torso. The Horntail's preferred form of attack is to breathe fire, which can reach extremely high temperatures in a matter of moments; though they did not receive their name for no reason, and have a large arrow-head tail that is extremely heavy and sharp. A typical Horntail's food of choice includes cattle, sheep and goats. One defining feature of them is that they also have large horns protruding from their heads; horns which may be used as a form of attack, though this theory has yet to be proven. Their eyes are yellow with vertically slit pupils, and their roar is a yowling screech. Horntails also have the ability to fly at enormous speeds. A newborn Norwegian ridgeback. Note the physical similarities between the Ridgeback and the Horntail, and the tell-tale raised ridge down the spine. An adult Hungarian horntail. Examine, once again, the physical similarities between the Ridgeback and the Horntail; as well as the arrow-head tail and spikes sticking out of its head.

Kalle smiled at the students, then called out, 'Aglardel! Gondhir!' She watched as two dragons emerged from the forest beside each other. They both looked rather similar, though it was obvious the one on the right had a thicker tipped tail and spikes on its head. Kalle stepped beside this dragon. 'This is Aglardel, the Hungarian Horntail,' she said in a calm tone. Now that he had gotten closer to the students, Kalle cast protego to form a silvery bubble around the students. 'I do not believe he will be attempting to harm anyone anytime soon, as we have given him a potion that should keep him too drowsy to attack, however I must take the precaution,' Kalle explained. She then went to stand between Aglardel and the other dragon, and said, 'And this is Gondhir, our Norwegian Ridgeback.'

Gryffinclaw Quidditch Captain Sparrow jotted down some notes once again and made some sketches as well. This seemed to be getting repetitive, but she enjoyed seeing the dragons. As Professor Kalle called out two dragons Sparrow gazed at it them partially frightened and awed. Even though Professor ensured us that we would be very safe Sparrow was still cautious of that dragon.

'I apologize for how repetitive my lessons have become, hopefully when we begin studying griffins your interest shall be sparked once more,' Kalle said with a wink.

Gryffinclaw Quidditch Captain Sparrow perked up and said, "That sounds fascinating Professor!!" She then returned to studying the Dragons. She didn't want to miss anything in case it showed up on the test.
