Class is About to Begin

[Princess Luna]

"Well, Luna, I have a question for you. You see, there hasn't been a report on any unicorn... or winged horse for that matter having magical properties before, and wizards and witches have I know delved deeply into the subject, trying to figure out how a unicorn's horn, blood, and hair have magical properties. How do you, per say, expel your magic?"

Luna blinked. She was about to address Elphaba and she had a speech prepared before Remus Lupin spoke. She paused, confused. Her hooves shifted under her. Her eyes narrowed. "We do not understand," she said plainly, "Unicorns and Pegasai do not have magic where you come from? But what of alicorns, one of which we are?" She raised a hoof towards her horn. "Using the magic within our bodies, unicorns and alicorns can do magic. For example our sister raises the sun in the morning and sets it at night. While we raise the moon and walk among dreams. Tis our special talent!"

She tilted her head towards him. "Defense against the dark arts? Ah, a grave yet useful special talent. Alas I wish I knew where you humans kept your magic. And your pants hide your cutie marks. Pray tell what does yours look like fine sir? How about you, miss Elphaba?"

Confused princess was confused. Celestia would have listened and understood. Luna however had her manners locked away for one thousand years. So she had less tact.

"For example our sister raises the sun in the morning and sets it at night. While we raise the moon and walk among dreams. Tis our special talent!"

Padfoot lifts his head up from where he was resting it on his front paws ears perking forward at the mention of the moon and his grey colored eyes shift to lock with Remus's letting out a whine like noise. 'She raises the moon? maybe she can stop the full moon from coming then this month?' he attempts to say this all with his eyes. Prongs was better at reading him when they were all younger.

Alas I wish I knew where you humans kept your magic. And your pants hide your cutie marks. Pray tell what does yours look like fine sir?

A bark like laugh rumbles out of the dog's throat. cutie mark? what the bloody hell was that? sounded like some girly thing Snuffles moves to a standing position again and pushes his cold coal colored nose into Remus's thigh letting out another bark like laugh his wet tongue hanging from his mouth in a smile, the way all dogs do when they are happy.

[Elphaba]

"Cutie mark?" Elphaba echoed, quite forgetting about Remus's statement about how people shouldn't stare because she was different. What in the world was a cutie mark? For that matter, why did it have to do with a special talent? She adjusted her glasses and tie, mostly to make herself a bit comfortable, and apart from that there was no use for the actions. Maybe she didn't have one... But humans didn't have such marks, did they? At least, Elphaba didn't know if they did. For all she knew, such marks would be hidden beneath their clothes and she just didn't have one. That seemed accurate enough.

"I... Don't think I have one, actually. The only 'special talent' I have is standing out. Well, that and getting strange looks just for being different. Not that I've come to expect anything different," she said. Or maybe her green skin was this supposed cutie mark. ...No, that couldn't be. Her green skin was just that: green. That was all it would ever be as far as she knew.

"I mean... Unless you count being someone that can use magic as a special talent. No one back home would've thought so."

[Remus]

"Well, no..." Remus began shaking his head a bit. This was a weird experience, indeed. How could the Wizard community never find out about talking unicorns and winged horses. And blue one, at that. It was ridiculous, a bit. "Nor are there any alicorns. Never have a unicorn and a winged horse - pegasi do you call them? - have mated and produced a mixture." Remus raised his eyebrow a bit as he listened to Luna talk. "You... raise the moon? In my world, the moon moves on it's own? Can't your moon move on it's own? Doesn't it do the cycles of the moon on it's own?" Remus didn't know how close he was to what Sirius was wanting to tell him - he only was asking out of general curiosity, having to worry about the full moon every year.

"Indeed, especially due to some recent events at the school I used to teach at..." Remus said, shaking his head a bit as he thought about Peter escaping that night... if only he had taken his potion that night. "But let's get back on a more cheerful topic. I suppose you cold say wizards and witches have it inside us als-" Remus blinked a bit as Luna talked about a... cutiemark? It sounded like some muggle's toy. "What's a cutiemark, exactly? I dare say we don't have anything like it..." Remus shook his head again, quite bemused.
