| | The Magical Creatures Sanctuary [OOC] :: For more animals, visit the Barn, Stables, and Pasture Area.
The Magical Creatures Sanctuary is a place that serves as a home and care center for many magical creatures. These creatures belong to Hogwarts and are cared for by Professor Barlow and her students. The Sanctuary does not resemble a barn or a building at all, but it rather takes on the shape and appearance of the environment most familiar to a particular creature. Depending on the creature and what natural environment it needs, it could be on land, in water, in tanks, or in a makeshift tree.
There's a small section set aside to house materials used to care for these creatures. Before caring for any creature, be sure you are aware of how to take care of that creature and have the proper materials needed. Remember to put the materials back where you found them and clean up after you're done. Quote: The creatures are classified under the following:
XXXXX = Known wizard killer/impossible to train or domesticate
XXXX = Dangerous/requires specialist knowledge/skilled wizard may handle
XXX = Competent wizard may cope
XX = Harmless/may be domesticated
X = Boring
Quote: In the Sanctuary, you can currently find the following species: XXXXX
Not Applicable XXXX
Phoenix
Thestral XXX
Augurey
Crup
Fire Crab
Fwooper
Hippocampus
Jarvey
Kneazle
Moke
Niffler
Plimpy
Salamander
Streeler XX
Clabbert
Diricawl
Gnome
Jobberknoll
Porlock
Puffskein X
Flobberworm
PLEASE NOTE: Professor Barlow has taken extreme care to make sure all creatures in the sanctuary are safe for students to encounter. So as long as you use caution and don't act carelessly, you won't be driven mad by a Fwooper or scorched by a Fire Crab anytime soon.

| *sneaking* HOLISTIC ACTRESS {X O} EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED With the collection of ingredients she had already found elsewhere the girl remembered the sanctuary and walked over. It was a nice place really, she loved all of the animals. And to be smart she already had her gloves on as she went and walked around glancing at all of the creatures petting one here and there.
She liked animals.
But she wanted this class to go well so the first thing she did was bounce excitedly when she spotted it. A bit of flobberworm mucus on the ground from where it had been oozing earlier. She walked over and taking a vile she collected as much of the sticky goop as possible - about a cups worth of it, before capping the jar and putting it into her bag. The next thing she did was turn, and head into the stables.

Having successfully gotten unicorn tail hair, Beezus immediately set out to the Sanctuary just a few steps away from the stables. She immediately spied the variety of creatures there. Kneazles had assembled on a rocky side, most of them were sleeping....fire Crabs were crawling near the front legs of a thestral (she could see thestrals, yes)...crups wagging their tails near the river bank.
It was a peaceful day for them and Beezus didn't want to interrupt that but she was here because she needed something so she crept into the vicinity deeper in trying not to cause any kind of noise until she saw what she was looking for.
The jobberknolls.
The blue bird of a creature flew past her and she carefully followed it. As expected, it lead her to where the other jobberknolls were. They had a really huge tree for themselves. One that also imitated those found those in the amazon. Beezus even wondered if she was still at Hogwarts at all. All she could really make out were the green leaves and large plants and colorful creatures around her. But she had her mind firm on what she was supposed to do.
She glanced at her watch and saw that almost twenty minutes has passed. She had to hurry up. She had 25 minutes more. Darting her head to and fro, she searched for a nest or something where she could possibly harvest jobberknoll feathers. She wasn't going to pluck it from the creatures, you know.
"Where, where..." She hissed....and finally! She saw it. A nest with a clump of dried leaves were on a branch just above her head had stray feathers on it. She pulled out her wand. "Wingardium Leviosa!" The Ravenclaw was levitating the unoccupied nest.... O.O Ooops. It actually had eggs. Three eggs. Meep! She took the nest in her hands, hastily removing the feathers that stuck there and shoving it into her pockets. Some of the jobberknolls were looking nastily at her now so she hurried up, levitated the nest back to where she had gotten it and trudged away and out of the Sanctuary.

Elise's first stop when Professor Lafay asked them to collect Potions ingredients from around the school was obviously the sanctuary. With all the magical creatures there, there was a really large amount of possible ingredients. Jobberknolls, fwoopers, all sorts of creatures that didn't have to be killed to obtain their parts as ingredients.
She saw Bee taking a few Joberknoll feathers and shrugged. She wasn't the only one here and that was totally fine. Instead, she made her way to the kneazles and crouched own next to them, holding an open vial to a sleeping kneazle's mouth and waiting. Once it had begun to condense in the vial, she corked it quickly, making sure not to waste a single drop of it.
It was a difficult enough ingredient to obtain and she wasn't about to go around wasting it. "Thank you," she whispered, scratching it gently behind the ear before getting up and wandering a little around the sanctuary. Maybe there was something else she could gather from here before she moved on to the greenhouses.

| For Potions Class 9 3/4 ticket holder / The SS Mentalist / Sherlock / The Master Of Everything / Josh + <3 = Ev Off to find more ingredients...
Keeping that goal in his mind so he was not going to be distracted by anything else, like the thoughts of how much he missed Aurora now, Rich walked into the Magical Creatures Sanctuary and stopping a bit, simply looked around. Hmm...here he was hoping to find a potion ingredient that he could gather from a creature...without killing them, of course. Even though it was for educational purposes, he knew that could get him in trouble with the new super hot Care of Magical Creatures professor.
Wow...
It was his first time walking in here this term and he was glad to see that there were still so many creatures living in the sanctuary. After all, the school was...meh. He did not want to remember that, it annoyed him every time. And...
Oh Flobberworms...
Probably the most boring creatures on earth but Rich knew he could gather the mucus they produce for Lafay. Getting closer to the creatures, he eyed them a bit at first. Eh...yes they had the mucus around and it did not look like the most attractive thing on earth. Taking a small vial from his bag, he filled it with some Flobberworm mucus with his wand, corked it and safely put it back in his bag.

Ella needed more ingredients and she knew just where to go. The Magical Creatures Sanctuary would have lots of ingredients and she knew there were several she could get without having to harm any of the creatures. She'd just go after some...feathers or something, yeah? Yeah! That'd work.
Wandering over to where the Jobberknolls were kept, the sixteen year old scanned the area in search of feathers that had fallen off naturally. She wasn't down for any sort of plucking, okay? Shudder.
Oh! ...Ohhhhhh! There were two! Two feathers and not two far from where she was located. Cool!
The badger quickly and carefully went over and obtained the feathers, placing them carefully in her bag. The Jobberknolls wouldn't miss these, right?
...Right.

Nerida made her way to the Magical Creatures Sanctuary it was time for the last ingreident, the flobberworm mucus. She quickly put on her gloves as she walked inside she did not want to get that stuff on her hands gross!!
A bit of flobberworm mucus, spoting a flobberworm she walked over and taking a vile using her wand she took some from the creature about a cups worth. She smiled waiting for her to get at least a cups worth before saying thank you to thing and putting the cap onto the jar she exited and headed for potions class.

Mo had a plan for this whole potions collection process. First, obviously, he needed to figure out the best path for hitting all the likely spots within the 45 minute time frame, not to mention hitting up some of his favorite spots in general, since he was slow to visit on his own. Like, for example, the creature sanctuary. Maybe the professor had changed and taken away all her creatures with her, but the new one had her own supply.
And some new and different ones!
Mo glanced around, noticing several of his classmates were going after some pretty standard and important ingredients: flobberworm mucus and various feathers and things. If this was really some effort to restock the potions cabinet for free, Mo was going to try for something more... unusual. No guts, no glory, right? So then... what... should... he...
Mokes! Really, MOKES? Mo tried to sneak up on their crates, knowing that mokes were pretty reticent when it came to humans. He must have made SOME noise because all the little lizards had completely disappeared by the time he got there. Someday, he would befriend them and become their kiiiiiiiiing. MARCUS BRANXTON, KING OF THE MOKES. It had a ring to it.
The good news was that the lizards had left behind something in their crates - patches of the silvery-green skin that had been shed as the creatures grew. Mo carefully retrieved several of the biggest patches of shed skin and put it into a bag in his satchel before he added some feed to the crate. There now... friends?

Hogwarts RPG Name: Mena Dubois First Year | #4 - Potions ingredients
The second year Slytherin looked a little nervous around her, she wanted to picked some feathers from the Jobberknoll, she needed them for her potion lesson but she was not sure if she was allowed to take them. But… She looked around her and she didn’t saw the teacher so she walked quickly to the bird who sat silent in his cage.
Careful she opened the cage and grabbed a few fallen feathers what had fallen to the floor of the cage. Sonea had heard that the bird never made a sound until his death, and indeed, the bird made no sound when Sonea grabbed some feathers and had closed the door, and, luckily she had not let the bird escape!

| Potions Ingredients #1
Having been given the task of finding potions ingredients, Haruka decided to start with looking around the Sanctuary. She saw some other students from the class doing the same. She walked around for a few minutes before she spotted something blue on the ground underneath a tree. As she got closer, she saw that it was a few speckled feathers. When she looked up, there was a Jobberknoll sitting on a branch above.
Haruka remembered another student in the class mentioning Jobberknoll feathers. She noticed that there were a few feathers around the tree, and figured that the bird must frequent it. She picked up only a couple of feathers, so other students could gather them, and went off to find the other three ingredients.

Annabeth arrived the sanctuary and stayed staring at the sky looking for the blue bird called Jobberknoll. She had read that the feathers of the small bird was useful to prepare some potions. But walking without seeing where you step on it's not a good idea... It didn't take too long for her stepping over a slimy worm: "Oh! What a disgusting thing!" There was a green mucus under her foot. "It's green! I thought I saw it in the book: it should be the Flobberworm." Then she collected the mucus into a small bottle. It was a little dirty with dried leaf and a clod, but she thought it should work.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tilly C. Richards First Year | Potions 2 Bluejay | Potatopop! | SRS - Stupid Ravenclaw Syndrome
Feathers and mucus. It sounded a bit like the start of one of those songs from the Sound of Music. EVERYONE knew they had magical properties and Lafay would obviously want some of those. So the King of Mokes Mo had the right idea - get unusual stuff. Blue scanned the sanctuary, looking for something no one had gone near yet. The Phoenix, obviously. Blue grimaced. What was the Ministry classification again?
Something like, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
She crouched and started creeping over to the pretty bird when she let out a yelp of pain. Latched onto her exposed ankle - her robes were getting short and flapping around above her socks from her sudden growth spurt - was a flipping potato. O_____O She kicked out, trying to get it off her and when it dug it's teeth deeper into her skin she bent down and yanked the vegetable off her ankle, lifting it up to her nose to squint at it.
A gnome. Ew. Disgusting thing. It wriggled and tried to scratched her hand, flailing and kicking madly in effort to let her go. "Little bugger. It's rude to bi --" It spat, a gross, yellow-ish, huuuuuge amount of mucus and saliva right onto her nose. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW." She tossed the ugly little thing away and cringed. Gross gross gross grosssss. But usualful. She pulled a vile out of her pocket (the pocket without the moth winks), all the while going "ewewewewewewewewew" before scraping it into the vile.
She'd have to wash her face maybe...ten, fifteen times after class?

In search for potions ingredients, that was what Kat was doing. She hurried over to the magical creatures sanctuary near the Care of Magical Creatures. She knew what she was going to look for in this place. Jobberknoll feathers, of course... and not flobberworm mucus. Excuse me, but mucus isn't what Kat wanted on her hands considering that it was all sticky and gooey and ew. While cringing at stuff, Kat was looking around for feathers.
And oh, would you look at that. There they were.
Although... they were quite far and Kat was in NO mood to just go up there and pick them up. /lazy
Why not do it the easy way? "Accio jobberknoll feather," she pointed her wand at the feather and it came to her. Summoning charm made things easier for her. Plus conserving energy. No harm done and none of the jobberknolls saw her (MAYBE). She was safe and stuff. Kat kept the jobberknoll feather inside her slingbag. So yeah...
K bye.

| potions post 4 Gryffinclaw-Ravendor • The REAL Hermione Granger
Sarah felt something tickling in her nose, yet ignored it as she had to get flobberworm mucus. She had a vial on her for it and al she needed was to havest- she rub her nose absent mindedly and then began to head over to the flobberworm. Then her hand caught her eye, or rather the blood on it did. Her nose was bleeding.
Sarah knew that it meant she had to stop it, yet that was not before she got some use out of it. She grabbed her vail and held it beneath her bleeding nose. It was a bad bleed and before long the vial was full. She put a stopper on the vial and then turned her attention back to stop the bleeding.
The bleeding did stop, yet time did not. Sarah knew she had to go, so she ran back to the castle. Her blood would have to be the fourth ingreidient.

| Potions Ingredient #2 Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Even though she was already tired of it after going seven floors up and down, Penelope ran out to the grounds towards the area where all the magical creatures were kept. This area she could get a couple different ingredients from. First, one from the sanctuary.
She looked around, eyes scanning over the various different creatures present until she spotted one she was looking for. A Jobberknoll. Trying to steady her breathing, she headed over to it and turned her eyes to the ground, searching for a feather. Surely it must've shed at least one or two recently or something...or had everyone else gotten here before she could and taken them all...
...wait!
There was a small blue feather right there! She knelt down and picked it up, sighing in relief when she saw the spots on it. Definitely a jobberknoll feather.
Holding onto it in one hand along with the eagle owl feather, she left the sanctuary.

Hogwarts RPG Name: E M Knight Fifth Year | potions post 1 Hufflepuff Forever Interstellar Hitchhiker Potions ingredients... Right. The first place Kaiden thought of to get some sort of ingredient was the magical creatures sanctuary. He had no idea what he could collect, but animal stuff was usually ingredients. Entering the sanctuary, the boy looked around. There were so many different creatures, but he needed something that wouldn't hurt any of the creatures. He didn't want the pretty professor lady mad at him.
Oh look, there was that multi color snail thing. Moving closes, Kaiden notice it was leaving behind a slime trail of stuff. Ohhh, that could be a potion ingredient right? pulling out a small jar, he cast the cleaning spell on it, and then scooped up a bit of the trail. There. One ingredient down.

| Post #4; Potions urine trouble | Pat's Strong Confident Other Half | Pees Like a Champion Unicorn Racehorse Ten minutes left... only ten.
If only they could fly between places. He'd have no problem collecting all the things he needed to collect in time. But they had to use their legs and, even if he was a little on the tall side of things, this was still taking far too long. And his overthinking and slightly panicked mode wasn't really helping his case. At all.
But it was a nice day to be hunting for these things. A really REALLY ni-
Oh HEY! The sanctuary! ... You needed things from magical creatures for Potions, right?
Alec ran flat out towards the sanctuary area, only coming to a steady jog and then a brisk walk when he was somewhat near the creatures. ... Right. What kind of products did he need for Potions? And which animals were so harmless that they wouldn't attack him when he tried to grab any of their feathers or anything?
Answer. Flobberworms.
He walked over towards the worm-like creature and bent down, looking at it carefully. How was he meant to tell which end was which? And where did it excrete its mucus from? Because... that was what he was meant to be collecting from it. The mucus. And how long would it take? Longer than five minutes? Frown.
...
A minute or so later, something green seemed to be oozing out of one of its ends and Alec just... STARED. This was probably the most boring thing ever, waiting for it to bring out enough mucus. He reached into his pocket and brought out another vial. The vial was placed near the oozing end of the Flobberworm and he... waited. Sit and wait for the mucus. La la la...
...
AWESOME. All done! And he had... less than five minutes left. GULP. Alec clutched onto the now two full vials and the nettles and daisies and ran as fast as he could back to the classroom.
