Gryffinclaw Quidditch Captain Sparrow quickly wrote down some notes on the Lung dragon. She thought it was beautiful. She jotted some notes down such as rare, mysterious, found on streams/lakes, attacked when feels threatened etc... She then looked up seeing that Professor and everybody was ready to move on and thought too herself, Hmm maybe I shouldn't try to write down so many notes.... while looking at her page of notes.
((Doh I always log off right before you start the lesson haha))

Aludra Yvette... She smiled at Cloud, she knew that her friend was hiding an important secret every since the doxy incident from last year. What happened on the grounds had no effect on her at all, Cloud was still her very good friend and a most wonderful person. "Want to go into Hogsmeade later after the lesson? Butterbeers on me, I want to talk to you."
Aludra couldnt help but to keept glancing up at the dragon. I t was so beautiful and majestic... her urge to have one was even greater then it was last year. ...7th Year Slytherin

Kalle laughed at the absurd thought of not meeting dragons when learning about them. She then smiled at Antoinette's false flattery, and replied, 'Alright. We shall now move on to the frost dragon.'

Aludra Yvette... "Yes!" Aludra yelled aloud. Every since they had learning about dragons, she had already written home on several occasions asking if she could raise one of the babies. Every owl came back as either 'ask your mother' or 'ask your father'. She sat eagerly with her hands in her lap, a broad and excited smile on her face as she waited for the Frost Dragon. Just the name sounded beautiful. ...7th Year Slytherin

The frost dragon typically lives in a sea-facing cave hollowed out from a glacier or iceberg and is an annual migrator from the Arctic to Antarctic; flying thousands of miles to ensure that the entirety of their year is spent in the dark hunting for sustenance. A frost egg is very oblong, and has a jagged swirl pattern surrounding it, making it very easy to recognize. Frost, on average, grow to be approximately forty feet measuring from nose to tail tip, and between twelve and fifteen feet in height. The colouration of a frost is what I find the most interesting; they are the same white as ice, occasionally with tints of pink or blue, which gives them a prismatic body. Frost dragons also have an attack singular to itself; a fearsome blast of frost and ice particles, which cuts human skin easily and is freezing cold. The frost dragon may, however, use its tail, claws and horns to attack prey and threats. Frost dragons eat a variety of food found in such an icy climate, such as giant squid, polar bears, orcas, walruses and leopard seals. The unmistakable and defining features of the frost dragon include the spikes decorating the body, which, in some cases, resemble icicles, the strong, muscular chest and shoulder area, and their iridescent, prismatic colouring. Frost dragon. Note the prismatic colouring, spikes, and strong shoulders.

'Students, I ask that you conquer to the rules previously laid down for behaviour around Beinloth as this will apply to all dragons we meet. Now,' Kalle said, 'I want you to meet Iarochben,' she finished, gesturing to the forest as yet another dragon appeared. He was white with tints of blue and wings that caught the light and glittered, reflected multiple fantastic colours upon the students. He moved to stand beside Beinloth, bowing his head.

Meiko's eyes sparkled, seeing the beautiful creature's shade of blue with a glittering effect on it's wings. "Never seen anything thats so glittery blue..." she said with her mouth opened for a few minutes looking at it in glee.

 Cloud looked up at Aludra, and a grin crept onto her face.
Sure, I'd like to go to Hogsmeade with you. Very much so.
Feeling significantly happier, she turned back to the lesson. After writing all she could about the Chinese Lung and sketching it briefly, she marveled at the appearance of Iarochben. She nodded to Professor Kalle. She had briefly decided that she would request an audience with her after class - the lesson was slowly consuming all of her negative thoughts and emotions, leaving only her love for the animals.
Professor? A couple of questions. First of all...Iarochben lives in the coldest of climates. How is he able to survive here, where it's significantly warmer? Also...have you raised all of your dragons at the same time, in the same place...together? How are the different species not trying to destroy each other?...

Sparrow gazed at the dragon in awe. She had a feeling she was going to be doing this for every dragon she met. "It is so beautiful!!" she exclaimed.

Lena
When Professor Kalle mentioned they would be learning about the frost, Lena couldn’t help but smile; she loved learning about dragons. She really wished she could see more dragons, but found that a bit too much.. Not very likely.. Would a teacher really bring more then one dragon for a single class? Would the headmistress allow it? As Professor Kalle started speaking about frosts, she started writing notes in her book about them. After he had spoken for a few minutes about frosts, Professor Kalle said they would be seeing yet another dragon. Lena couldn’t help herself but jumped up several times, smiling from ear to ear. When Iarochben also walked out of the forest, Lena looked at him and gasped, astonished. He was gorgeous; the lovely tints of blues, his great glittering wings, his icicle-like spike covered body.

'An excellent set of questions, Cloud! Yes, he does live in incredibly cold climates, but seeing as he is only going to stay here for a few hours at the most, he will be fine. I might send him away earlier, should the lessons begin to take too long. Also, I actually did not raise these dragons. The only dragons I have raised are Aran and Lorhiril, the latter you might find shares a few resemblances to Iarochben. I sent owls to each of their rightful owners, explaining their purpose, and the next day I had at least four dragons! Iarochben here arrived just before the lesson on frosts, so as to keep him as happy and healthy as possible. They are very well behaved, and very tame, which is why they are not attacking each other; I do not think Sing would find it wise to bring a wild dragon to class,' she explained, adding a beaming smile toward Cloud and Aludra when mentioning Lorhiril. 'And yes Lily, they lay eggs. Were you not present for the lesson? A frost egg is very oblong, and has a jagged swirl pattern surrounding it, making it very easy to recognize.'

Cloud nodded.
That's good, that he will be sent back to the Arctic as soon as the lesson is over. They are very well behaved! I realize that you would never bring wild dragons to class...but even for tame dragons, they have incredibly calm personalities. I really respect it...
She gazed at the magnificent beasts before her. She could not wait to begin her quest to find the perfect dragon to be her companion.
