Professor McGonagall comes in to collect ornaments and frowns. "Fond as we all are of Remus, and as potent as his essence was needed earlier, unfortunately he is NOT a 4 footed, nor can he become one at will, so we will set his orb aside, better yet, give it back to you for safe keeping. They all are rather delicate, you see, and he may be needed later. You are welcome to see if you can find another essence orb of a 4 footed or animagus. I'm afraid that disqualifies Mr. Malfoy as well, though that is well reasoned"
::She gives ornament back to Orna and to Tahi, and helps herself to some gillywater and a cauldron cake.:: " My, this charm, if successful will certainly be worth it. We've performed a simple version of it which only lasts temporarily...but this will be a permanent. Thank you all for helping us in the midst of festivities!
There seems to be some confusion among the first years. We are happy to have you show your pride of your House on any occasion, and you are welcome to keep naming yourself, but it's only actually necessary with those ornaments that are collecting House points. There will be another of those towards the conclusion of the charm. And again, your descriptions are moving but only needed with some ornaments, such as the one we are collecting now of experienced Dark Arts fighters, and the one I was sent to ask for tonight. Also, you may bring in an ornament if someone has already posted, as we use the essence, the quality we are looking for.
Finally, we professors could use one or two more fine rares or desirables to give as rewards--please send them to Accio Funds as a gift.
Now, tonight, and perhaps through tomorrow we are requiring a certain amount of rare essence - a person who is good with animals, has kept a pet, or demonstrated in some way that they are fond of animals.
You will also need to write a brief description as to how this person demonstrated their love or their skill with an animal. It would strengthen the orb.
Remember, Remus is a human who was bitten and turned into a werewolf so for the sake of the spell, he does NOT count as an animal! We will give the first person to bring us an animal whisperer orb a
Sakura cloakand from everyone who brings us a suitable orb with description, we will raffle off a - what else?
set of puppy dog ears. I assure you no puppies were harmed in the making of those ears."
::Minerva finishes her gillywater and turns to leave, snagging another cauldron cake on her way out::: "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
