Past Lessons
Quote: 
Professor Grey stands in front of the class and waits for everyone’s attention, “ Alright class before we begin learning of various mythical creatures, we must know their classifications,” In your book, turn to page 7 there is a list of classifications from the Ministry of Magic. It contains the following,”
She reads the classification out loud,”
Ministry of Magic Classifications (M.O.M.)
XXXXX Known wizard killer / Impossible to train or domesticate
XXXX Dangerous / Requires specialist Knowledge / Skilled wizard may handle
XXX Competent wizard should cope
XX Harmless / May be domesticated
X Boring
“As you see, each classification is classified by the number of X’s it has, one X for least dangerous, and XXXXX for the most dangerous….These classifications are given to all beasts, beings, and spirits by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Professor Grey pauses for a minute, and tells the students class work I would like you to tell me what importance does these classifications have for you at first glance….your class work will be worth five points, and HW is posted, it will be due in a week.”
Be aware for any extra credit…….
-Lesson thanks to Professor MoonshadeQuote: What is a Beast?
"Hello! Before we start learning about the beasts we so love, we must first learn what a beast really is and why certain creatures are classified and others are not."
Professor Grey smiles and begins. "The term "Beast" has been debated about many times throughout wizarding history, in fact, it took approximately 300 years just to find an agreeable definition. Why so much debate? Well, there are many reasons, as one example the werewolf. The spend most of their time as humans, so would that make them a beast or not? Similar situation for the centaurs. They refuse clothing, live in the wild, and prefer not to live near humans, but they have an equal intelligence to them. Trolls may bare humanoid appearance, but they they are less intelligent and they have no magical powers except their unusual strength.
Once you identify the many differences between these creatures, then you must identify which are "beings" and which are "beasts". A "being" is classified as a creature worthy of legal rights and a voice in the governance of the magical world.
The first attempts at deciding the magical creatures that should be classified as "beasts" were very crude. In the fourteenth century, Burdock Muldoon decreed that any member of the magical community that walked on two legs to be classified as "beings" and all others to remain as "beasts." When all "beings" were summoned to meet, things, well, didn't go quite as planned. There were Diricawls, Augureys, and Fwoopers. Pixies and Fairies. As well as trolls smashing the chamber and hags looking for children to eat. After the horrible experience Muldoon never attempted to integrate non-wizard members of the magical community into the Wizard's Council.
It was later attempted to classify "beings" as any creature that could speak in human tongues, but the result was also disastrous. I will not go in to more detail, but more can be found in Fantastic Beasts and where to find them.
Finally in 1811 acceptable definitions were found. The newly appointed Minister of Magic, Grogan Stump, declared that a "being" is "any creature that has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those laws". There have been a few exceptions of course. The spirit division had to be created in honor of the fact that ghosts are "has-beens" and not "beings." Centaurs and merepeople have requested to be in the "beast" category. And also so very violent "beings" have been moved to the "beast" category because of their violet nature. These include Acromantulas, manticores, and Sphinxes. Unfortunately werewolves have been shunted between the Beast and Being divisions for many years, but we will learn more about that later." She finished the lesson, and stated, the classwork will be posted soon.” Quote: 
"Unfortunately, today is just a lecture, but it is on a topic a lot of people seem to be interested in. As mentioned before Werewolves are very debated upon creatures. Not only have they been switched between the being and beast divisions for many years, but offices are also placed in the different divisions. There is an office for Werewolf Support Services at the Being Division whereas the Werewolf Registry and Werewolf Capture Unit fall under the Beast Division. Werewolves are very misunderstood by many witches and wizards for many reasons. One is probably it rating of XXXXX. This scares many people, but what they might not realize is that this classification refers only to the werewolf in its transformed state. When there is not a full moon the werewolf is, of course, as harmless as any other human. But those who realize this may be afraid because of the werewolf's unique preference to human prey. But maybe they fear them because their is no cure, and they do not want to be bitten and then have the 'disease.' One other reason may be, of course, the actions of other witches or wizards. For example, Dolores Umbridge was instrumental in the passage of restrictive anti-werewolf legislation that made it almost impossible for a werewolf to get a job."
Professor Grey pauses, then continues by saying, "Now, that is just some debate about werewolves, but I think now we should move on to facts about them. Werewolves are found worldwide, but it is believed they originated in northern Europe. The only way to become a werewolf is by being bitten. There is no known cure, but recent developments in potion-making have created the Wolfsbane Potion, which lessens the worst effects. As you probably already know, once a month at the full moon, a wizard or Muggle werewolf transforms into a murderous beast that loses all human awareness and will attack anyone, including the werewolf's best friends. A werewolf can be distinguished from a true wolf physically by several small distinguishing characteristics, including the pupils of the eyes, snout shape, and tufted tail." She once again pauses, then says, Thank you, and homework is now up.
