In the one life that we've got [closed]
WHO Eli Delacroix(implike), Shannon Vaughn (privatematter).
WHAT Care of Magical Creatures apparently involves dragons. Or an animagus professor being a troll and messing with his students. Thirteen year old Eli knows better than to fall for that.
WHEN Modern-ish setting? Eli's third year at school.
WHERE Salem Witches Institute, a courtyard.
For the first time in his time at school, Eli was not running late to a class that wasn't Transfiguration. He wasn't the first to make it to the courtyard where class was being held, but he was far from the last. Every since he was a child, he loved to read about all sorts of different creatures and a class just about the magical ones was definitely right up his alley, especially if he got to interact with them first hand.
He wasn't expected the whispers and panicked looks on some of his classmates' faces when he arrived. His small size meant that the crowd of students was a wall to him and forced him to weave around legs and bodies so that he could get a closer look to see what had gotten them all worked up. He was expecting something surprising, but he didn't expect to see a dragon laying in the courtyard with the professor nowhere to be found.
Why is there a dragon here? Aren't they supposed to be dangerous? This is so cool! Did the dragon eat the professor? Where is he at? Questions fluttered in the air as Eli frowned at the dragon, feeling that something was off about it. He knew that it wasn't a dragon and when it finally clicked, he couldn't help but smile widely. It was so obvious and nobody else could tell.
"It's not a dragon, everyone," Eli said loudly, his childish voice carrying an air of duh as he said it and walked out towards where the not-dragon lay. There was some shock and one of the other kids tried to reach out to stop him but he avoided it deftly in a way that only a small person could do so effectively. Getting close to the dragon, he looked straight at it without any fear and spoke. "Hello, Professor. Are we learning about dragons today?"

no subject
Now that Eli had revealed that the dragon was no threat, the rest of the students surged forward to ooh and ahh at him and study their teacher in this interesting form. Eli stayed where he was, looking over their professor with silent interest. He had read about Peruvian Vipertooths in one of his books and while it was incredibly neat to see one up close, that was not what he was excited about.
It was the fact that right there was an animagus here for Eli to study and learn from. As a transfiguration genius, it was an unspoken goal that he was going to become an animagus by the time he graduated school and if he could get the chance to talk to the professor about it, maybe he'd be able to glean something from him about the process and make it easier when he attempted it.
