Oh, how she hated to disappoint her students. Perhaps she would be able to convince Headmaster Black to allow her to bring one in tomorrow. "That is correct, Mr. Gillenwater. Five points to Gryffindor. Though that is one of two reasons for the classification. The Streeler also has spikes on its shell, which also releases venom. This is to prevent predictors such as birds and rodents from attacking."

For a moment, she couldn't decide whether or not to answer a question for a student that had yet to be called on, raised hand or no. But after a few seconds, she decided to not be that professor by ignoring her. "Sadly, no. I plan on requesting permission from the Headmaster before I bring something that venomous in. If I can, I do hope to bring one in tomorrow. Next time, please wait to be called on or points will be lost." Ricky did like to see herself as the fair professor, the fun type. Points taken left and right didn't seem just to her. A warning should do.

"Can anyone tell me what the best ways are for avoiding getting stung when handling a Streeler?" If they were to have one in tomorrow, it would be best if the class knew how not to poison themselves.
