"That is correct, Miss Scrimgeour. Sadly, I must reluctantly withhold those five points that Slytherin would have received, had it not been for the five points that Mr. Leverett had just lost as a result of gossiping on my time. I would pay more attention, Mr. Leverett, as Miss Lestrange has already been told of the consequences of speaking out of turn." Which was a shame. Ricky was certainly not anti-Slytherin. All the houses were fascinating in their own right. So seeing one student not get the reward because of another was beyond frustrating. But one five point loss did cancel out the five point gain.

"A Streeler could be handled for multiple reasons. Moving a population to a different area, selling the animal - hopefully keeping in mind the animal's well being, and as a pet. A Streelers shell has a fascinating trait of changing colors once every hour. This is peculiar in the sense that, other than confusing a long waiting predictor, it does not seem to be a trait that would be necessary for survival." Goodness, this was a creature that these children certainly should see in person. "Can anyone guess any other reasons that a Streeler would have such a unique trait?"
