As regards to the next question, "The dragons will return to their normal size once they are safe back home." Which wasn't right now, thankfully from the looks of things. Javier looked on this particular student among the others, especially after a particular action happened. "Mr. Fuller-Thompson, come here." The dragon was tiny with its own teeth, yes, but still a dragon bite was a dragon bite. Waiting until the Hufflepuff approached him did the Creatures Professor took him by the wrist to examine the finger. Hm. It looked alright, with the exception of the little poke imprint. "See me after class." Before patting his shoulder letting him return to his original spot.
"Now, who is ready to attempt to train them?" Professor Thompson then asked the whole class before continuing, "Typically the Norwegian Ridgeback has grown its wings shortly after emerging from the egg, but doesn't put any use to them for another year." So, "These dragons due to being in captivity haven't had as much opportunity to stretch their wings. So we're going to allow them the chance to." With that, Javier then held his wand up to cast a lighting spell showcasing the floating glimmering silver hoops suspended in the air all around the whole Creature Housing stable that they were residing in. Suddenly, the coverings had another use today.
"Now those with longer hair will want to tie their hairs back as we will be guiding them to fly in the air through the hoops." How exactly? "A dragon gains their ability to fly with the help of their mother or father who flies below them, breathing fire out to encourage them to stay up longer." Before the worries could kick in, "Not to worry, as mentioned before the heat is very soothing to the dragons as their tough skin can endure the highest of temperatures. So with our wands we will be using the fire spell, Incendio in their direction to guide them through all the hoops to the finishing line right into the tank." Which he then pointed out to be in the far end near the other double doors that led to the Walkways. The tank was sitting perfectly perched on a table. Empty for now.
"There are about 15 hoops total. The real challenge however will be on actually convincing them to take flight." Javier then held his little dragon. She was getting the name Lotte as he finger stroked the top of her head. A fiesty one though as she just missed the chance to bite at his finger. "There are a number of ways to convince them. There's the Animal Friendship charm, or just simply finger stroking the inner lines of their wings. That'll get their attention." Which he then did so, making Lotte turn her head not in a happy mood. "Stop once they begin looking towards you and then slowly hold the hand out raising it towards the air-" Which as soon as he began doing so, Lotte did not hesitate to fly away from this man. Now Javier aimed his wand towards her tail, "Cast, 'Incendio' directly under them until they start to fly in the direction you want them to. You will eventually have to get up along the way." Now it became clear what the Professor meant by them staying on the floor for the duration. "You will find near the end they will grow tired and want to rest, so you can simply use the Levitation spell, Windgardium Leviosa to set them into the tank."
At last, the incentive, "Of course not everyone will finish at the same time. But to make the effort, the first three who successfully manage to guide their dragon all through the hoops and into the tank will earn extra points." Along with, "And permission to visit their new dragon friend this summer." Win, win. Yes? "Get ready and.. go."
--- OOC: As mentioned you will have to guide the little dragon into the air through 15 silver floating hoops. With the use of Incendio under them and Windgardium Leviosa to land them into the tank at the finish line.
