Silvia was excited, though she may not have shown just how excited; she kept it under control. When it was finally their turn, she eagerly accepted a leash from the older Ravenclaw with a "Thanks." Hopefully the three of them would be able to manage, seeing as they were a small group and two of them were younger students. As long as Roro cooperated though, they should be fine.

"Hello, Roro," she said, thinking that it might be a good idea to be friendly since he seemed to be nervous around all the students. Then turning back to the others, she asked "Are we almost ready?"

Alyssa was crouching down looking at RoRo and making faces at him, when Alicia spoke up. "Sure I can take the first leash on the left. And if anyone wants to swap positions later, just let me know." Alyssa told her team mates. Alyssa leaned down to pick up the leash making sure that she stayed clear of RoRo's head. She would have loved to pet his head, but remembered Professor Williamson's warning about how 'touchy' RoRo was about that.

"Are we ready to go walkey walkey, Roro? Now don't go running off on us okay." Alyssa said to RoRo before standing up. "Is everybody ready? Remember hang on tight, because if RoRo does decide that he wants to run instead of walk, we're all going to have to pull him back"Alyssa called back to the others.....'Unless he's too strong, then I guess we're going to have to hold on and go for a bumpy ride with him' Alyssa thought to herself.

Walking a little ahead of RoRo, Alyssa gently pulled on her leash, to signal to RoRo that he could start walking now if he wanted to.

Nerida smiled at the Huffie named Jory and replied Wonderful to meet you Jory! I am Nerida! The in awe Ravie looked at Roro with amazed enthusiastic eyes, she couldnt wait to get near the dragon! She loved dragons. Hearing the eagerness in Jory's voice, she could tell that he also liked dragons. Looking at both her team members she asked What do yo think we should do first?

Roro hadn't even noticed the harness going over his head, so preoccupied was he with sizing up the students. He licked his lips at the blondish boy quaking in his boots and waited for the students to DO something.

He wanted to walk already!!!



Roro found a random piece of straw on the barn floor and stuck his scaly dragon tongue out to eat it while he waited on the yellow hoomans to get their act together. He started chewing boredly on the straw and then, when he felt the tug of a leash, he started waddling off.

First Roro wanted to sniff some sticky stuff over by one hay bale. It looked like water, and it smelled like water, but was it weally water? And if it WAS water, why was it sitting out on da barn floor instead of in a bukkit for dwinking?

Roro tugged the hoomans along to the stick spot and started licking and snorting at the spot.



Roro bumped his nose into the back of one puff's leg, eagerly waiting for his group to take him on a walk. Come onnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!

RORO WUZ WEADY! He flapped his big dragon wings and looked eagerly at the Gryfferin group. Somebunny walk meeee!!

Roro had no idea who this one wittle hooman was talking to, but he did snap his wittle dragon jaws at her and let a big spot of drool drip down his jaw. She was just standing there, so... did dat mean she was a dead ferret snack? She looked like a dead ferret.

Laura looked at the Dragon, he wasn't that mean. "Come on people." She poked Zhenya. "You can walk the dog." Laura said, maybe if Zhenya thought it was a dog then she wouldn't be as scared as if she remembered it was a dragon they were actually walking.

Goodie... Now Lily had a group, and with Stella no less. So while the rest of the group talked about how the whole walking thing was going to work out, the second year was watching the dragon. Roro was cute... but also dangerous. It was a dragon for crying out loud...

Once the speaker!Slytherin had decided that it was time to go for the walk, Lily took a step to be right next to the older claw. Yep... she was going to buddy up with Stella on the leash. The twelve year old didn't want to get stuck with the other slytherin who looked like he was going to either lose his lunch or pass out like the gryffindor prefect had done. With a small smile on her face, she waited for the rest of the group to get ready so that they could get the leashes and get walking.

Kurumi simply smiled in Sierra's direction...before cocking her head to the side in slight confusion. Trouble sleeping? "No, I have been sleeping just fine..." she said trailing off. Why was Sierra asking her about sleeping? Was SHE tired? The dungeons were rather dark and stuff, that would make a person sleepy she supposed.

Before she could ask this, Mordred stood between her and Sierra and asking them a question. "Oh, um, I think we are," she nodded as she took a glance towards Professor Williamson AND RORO!! "We are all going to need to hold some part of his leash, right?" This wasn't going to be like walking a dog, well, maybe it was...if a three year old was walking a German Shepard.
OHMYGOSHLOOKHOWCUTEHEWASFLAPPINGHISWINGS!

Kurumi couldn't stop herself and let a girlish squeal slip past her lips at the scene. He was just so precious! Kurumi took a few steps forward and took the leash between both her hands. OHMYGOSHSHEWASHOLDINGHISLEASH! "Hello, Roro," Kurumi said, offering the baby dragon a polite bow in greeting. "My name is Kurumi, over there is Daichi, Mordred, and Sierra," she continued, pointing to each of the Slytherins as she did. You know, in case the dragon was into formalities and whatnot. "We are going to be taking you on a walk."

SQUEE!

Angelina smiled at Nerida. "Its nice to meet you Nerida. I'm Angelina Andrews, third year as well." She wondered where to start first, but getting to meet each other was the first step. Angelina just wondered how walking the dragon will be working out..

SPOILER!!: Anya and Tag

Anya grinned as Zack asked if he could join. "Sure Zack." she said with a smile. "You remember Penelope from quidditch." she said. "And this. This is Tag." she said introducing her teammate to the first year.

Yay! Now they had four people. Perfect.



Anya waved over. "We could use another Gideon." she said calling over to the Prefect. Plus, they could use someone older that knew what they were doing. Who better than Gideon for that? Oh! And how fun! They were all Gryffindors. And most of them played quidditch. So they almost all knew each other.

He looked tentatively at the dragon. "Err, maybe we should clean it up first,before walking it." He suggested nervously. Since he was a wee one maybe he was wrong, or half wrong so he looked up to the oldest person in the entire group."What do you guys think? Gideon,Anya,Penelope,Zack?"Maybe their input would be better than his. And when they did start walking the dragon dog he'd rather be in front than guiding it along.

When his asking for a group was answered by a wave over and a response from Anya, Gideon couldn't help but give a look of relief. The prefect walked over where she was gathered with three others, all of them Gryffindors either by coincidence or design. He wasn't sure which but it didn't really matter, it just made them a bit more familiar with each other already which helped when working as a team.

"Hey," he said saying hello to his fellow housemates and for Anya, Penelope and Zack...fellow quidditch team members. Hearing Tag's suggestion, he admitted it was a good ideaseeing how Roro was with the food earlier , however the dragon was quite energetic and the prefect could only imagine how he would be with a bath. "Nae...not a bad idea. Though perhaps Professor Williamson might want it done after all the teams have gone." And perhaps the students gone.

SPOILER!!: Professor Williamson and Roro and Team

He remained in this prone, locked position, not a muscle twitching, not an eyelash blinking, for a solid 8 minutes. It was unlikely that any of the students noticed, nor that even Roro had noticed, because everyone was too preoccupied with their own conversations and with forming groups. After the frozen period passed, however, Willy was quickly muttering the spell and placing the harness onto the dragon as if nothing had happened at all.

The harness, once placed on Roro, shrank to an appropriate size and four long, thick leather straps came fluttering out of the top of it. Roro didn't even seem to notice the harness, for it fit so well and still allowed for movement of his handsome dragon wings. Once that was accomplished, Willy gathered all of the straps --- leashes, really --- in his hand and directed Roro a step or two closer to the class.

"Now then, everyone, listen up." The professor cleared his throat and held up the leashes so they would understand. "One group at a time is going to come forward and take a leash; one leash per person, please. If you have more than four members to your group, GREAT. Just remember to share the leashes and perhaps put two of the younger kids to one leash."

He nodded and patted Roro's back with his free hand, reassuring the dragon that this was going to be a perfectly safe activity. "Just take Roro for a spin around the barn, well, the outside ring here." He indicated the hay bales area. "Don't get too far and don't try to overpower the dragon. Be gentle, talk to him, and he'll cooperate. All clear? If so, then the first group can come forward and take the leash."

Be brave, Hogwartians. It was just a baby dragon. Nothing to fear but fear itself.


OOC: Obviously there's only one dragon, but all the groups can RP at the same time. Just pretend that you're taking turns (not going at the same time) and Roro will... hopefully respond to you favorably and will respond as if he's going on separate walks. Be creative with your destination but PLEASE don't RP for the dragon!

Speaking of the professor, Williamson sought to gather their attention once more so they could each have their turn taking care and walking the large baby dragon. So they waited as a few of the other teams went before turning to his own group and finally there was an opening. "Shall we..." he said leading them over to Roro. The sixth year careful not to move too quickly or surprise the dragon as he moved not wanting to freak him out and cause any trouble.

Nigel was a little confused about were to hold the leash. But followed Minnie's instruction and held it with Messer. He hoped together they would be strong enough to hold this part of the leash.

Once Alyssa pulled on the leash, he got ready for the dragon to move. It was pretty cute watching Roro eat the strand of hay. But Nigel was also confused, the dragon was tugging them to water on the barn floor. Well we could just let Roro drink but the assignment was to walk him. So Nigel said "Come on Roro lets walk around some more after you have had your drink of water" Even if it was disgusting water on a barn floor.

Nerida laughed and said Looks like he really wants to go on the walk! She bent down and picked up a leash and held one up for Angelina and then one for Jory. After they all had a leash she said to Roro Hello Roro, I am Nerida and this is Jory and this is Angelina. Who had thankfully just told Nerida her name, if she didnt she would have had to say and her or just go snooping We will be walking you today. Looking at the others for a confirmation to start walking, she didnt want to start walking and pull the others with Roro and her.

WHY were they doing this again? What this supposed to be some kind of enjoyable experience? Something she'd hope to live to tell her children about someday? ...because to be honest, Sierra could have lived without ever walking a dragon.

Oh, well. Points. Credit. That was enough reason, she concluded.



"Ready or not," she said, gesturing toward the dragon. It looked like they were next, so it wasn't like they had a choice.



...and just why was the blasted dragon so excited about being putting on a leash and walking around and around in a circle? Didn't it have the freedom, at least right now, to walk around on its own? Idiotic creature...



Sierra shrugged at Kurumi's comment. What did she care if the girl slept at night or not? So as long as she didn't fall asleep on Sierra's shoulder, Sierra didn't care...

Then Kurumi was walking forward and grabbing a hold of the leash, so Sierra did, as well. Wait. Was Hollingberry really talking to the dragon? Giving him everyone's names? Sierra gave Kurumi a 'you have GOT to be kidding me' look. Then when all was said and done, it looked like they were ready to go. Except... "Where's Daichi?" she asked. Had he grabbed a hold of the leash yet? They'd need him...

Addie was super excited to be taking little dragon Roro on a walk. Sure it was scary and whatnot because it was a dragon even though a baby. It could breath fire and kill her probably, but that didn't mean she was scared. Okay maybe Addie was a tiny bit scared, but not as scared as she others. "Yep I'm Addie," she said making her introduction nice short and sweet as they got ready to walk the dragon.

Addie took one of the four leashes as she saw Lily attach herself to Stella's side. "I can partner with someone on my leash," she said eyeing the little Gryffindor and the Slytherin who looked like he might faint, either one would be fine by her. She just wanted to walk the baby dragon because it would be fun.

Minerva smiled happy the team was ready. She picked up the leash and pulled a little forward. She watched Roro lick the ground while the rest were getting the leash. "Awww Roro your just so cute now that I can see you in a calm manner." Minerva looked at her other friends when she felt Roro move, "Well I guess were ready.." They were moving if they wanted to or not. She held tight on the leash to make sure they didn't loose control. She walked along the side of Roro,"Are you guys doing okay?" She wanted to make sure that her friends were doing well and not having trouble with their leashes. This was just so exciting getting to walk Roro she thought to herself.

"Okay it looks like RoRo want to go walkey walkey." Alyssa told the others as she let RoRo lead them into the Barn and hopefully to some hay which it seems to like eating. She looked back to see how the others were doing.

Alyssa looked at Nigel as he advised RoRo to just take a drink and move along. Alyssa hoped that RoRo would do the same too. So she let RoRo lead them to the large pool of water in the middle of the barnyard. As she saw RoRo heading towards it, she called out to everyone. "Uh guys, I do hope that RoRo just wants a drink and not a swim because if he does, we're going to have to try to keep him from going in it or we're going to end up going in there with him. So hold on tight everyone." Alyssa advised the others.

Sophie didn't even get the chance to say anything when Alyssa and Minnie rushed to the dragon and got the leash. Okay then! And as one of her housemates said, she would happily hold one of the parts with Ella, not a problem!

She grabbed the same leash thingy that Ella was holding and waited for whatever came next.

Gaaahhh! Sophie tripped and almost fell down when Roro tugged them along. That dragon was strong! Luckly Ella was close, so Sophie bumped with her and was then able to find her balance again.

And the baby dragon wanted to dring the water on the floor! Eek. Oh well, it was actually kind of cute when it tried to do that. Hehehe!

Then the dragon began to thump its tail onto the groun. He swallowed the lump that had jammed inside his throat. This was not his class today. Sure the dragon wasn't a full grown dragon but it was still one none the less.



Tag followed his lead. The prefect was the oldest and wisest of them. Slowly, he walked around the dragon and hesitantly gently grabbed the leash. He looked at Anya, since she had said something about wanting to hold it too. So, without making sudden motions he grabbed the leash and said in a quiet but strained voice, "Err..RoRo, my friends and I are gonna walk you now..Err, umm, Anya and I..we'll uhhh.. hold the leash.." He gave the others a funny expression that he hoped to be terrified but looked more comedical.Hopefully, Tag had the sense to not lose his intelligence today. Which slowly seemed to be drifting from him the longer he stood in the dragon's presence.

Anya skipped over to the dragon. "Hai baby Roro." she cooed. Yeah... she got over her fear pretty quickly. What was the worst that could happen? A baby dragon headbutt? Even that was pretty cool. How many people got headbutted by a hybrid breed baby dragon?

Seriously. There was no downside to this lesson.

Anya smiled at Tag and went over to hold the leash with him. Since... there were only four parts, two of them had to share. And... Anya was going to share with Tag. She made sure that she stepped between him and the dragon. You know... since there was no bad side to the lesson, she didn't really care if she got attacked or whatever.

"I'm ready." she said looking at the others.

D'aww Roro was quite cute so when it was Ella's groups' turn, the second year eagerly approached the dragon, smiling up at him. "Hey there, boy. You're mighty cute, aren't you?" And mighty big too! Yikes! Hopefully he wouldn't be the one walking them. The second year continued to watch the dragon curiously as Nigel offered to hold the leash with her. "Sure that would be ni-" But then Minnie was suggesting where everyone might go to hold the leashes in order for the walk to go more smoothly. So Ella was meant to hold the leash with Sophie now? That was okay with her! She smiled at Sophie and picked up the leash, holding on tight. Ready...set...go!

Roro was quite the curious dragon, checking out the ground as they walked. When he stopped at the puddle, Ella smiled and watched him curiously. Was the little guy thirsty? And how much could a dragon drink, anyway? Probably a lot! "That's it, little guy, drink your water." He was a growing boy after all, yeah? She laughed when Alyssa suggested he might want to go swimming. That would be funny...any maybe a little messy to but hey, she was gonna go with the flow. And then Minnie was checking on everyone to see if they were doing alright. Ella was doing more than alright! She was doing GREAT! They were walking a dragon, after all! "All good here, Minnie!" She replied with a smile. Yup. Everything was going good so far...

Ella saw Sophie almost fall and her eyes grew wide. Luckily, her fellow puff was able to regain her balance and ended up bumping into Ella rather than falling to the ground. "You okay Sophie?" She asked, concerned. Though her friend looked okay now so they could continue, yeah?

"You guys, I can't believe we're actually walking a dragon...A DRAGON? This is the coolest thing ever." And she beamed at the dragon from her place at his side. "You hear that, Roro? You're the coolest." And the strongest creature that Ella had ever walked!

Nigel was just starting to relax watching Roro drink the water. He totally agreed with Alyssa and most definitely did not want Roro to take a bath or swim in it now and get everybody in their group wet. That would not have been good. He then made a suggestion "Um lets all try to stay as far away from the water as we can" To prevent getting wet he did what he was told and held on tight.

But suddenly Sophie was off balance and hit into Ella. Oh no Nigel thought, he hoped Sophie would not fall into the water and get all wet. But thankfully she regained her balance and kept looking at Roro."Ella, Sophie are you two alright?" It looked like it hurt Nigel thought.

While holding on tightly hoping Roro did not take a swim he started to study Roro because he agreed with Ella and thought Roro was an awesome dragon. "Yeah Roro you are the coolest and most awesome dragon there is" Hopefully Roro will move away from the water now

Desiree realized she had accidentally caused some drama, apparently the Slytherin she asked and the Hufflepuff didn't get along... or something. She hadn't meant any harm, she was just trying to make a group of four. But she didn't mind whether the girl was in their group or not, she could leave if she wanted to, because she saw Nora ask her to join her group too, so she had other options. Unless both of them wanted to be in the group, and well that was ok too.

Anyway whatever, Desiree was just excited to walk the dragon! The girl introduced herself as Laura, "It's nice to meet you Laura." She smiled, the Hufflepuff seemed nice. And she couldn't help but laugh a little when Zhenya was freaking out, but she smiled reassuringly to her friend and agreed with Laura, "Yeah, don't worry, of course you can do it Zhenya, I won't let the little dragon hurt you." She stood by her, if the dragon wanted to hurt her friend, it was going to have to go through her. But she was sure Roro wasn't going to hurt anyone..

Like Laura said, it'd be exactly like walking a dog. Well... maybe not exactly. She eyed the little dragon and wondered what to do first. It was their turn so she hesitantly approached him, "Hi Roro.. We're going to take you on a walk now, is that ok?" she picked up one of the leashes and waited for Zhenya and Laura to do the same. How hard could it be?

Hello Roro," Angelina said. Grabbing a leash Nerida handed her she smiled and said, "Ready?" to all of them. Angelina was excited about walking a dragon for the first time, hopefully Roro would take it well. Slowly Angelina started to head off making sure it was all okay to do so.

Right, so now that they had their group...it was time to walk the dragon.

Or not quite yet because the professor talked for a little bit first. THEN it was time for the dragon.

But they didn't go first, which Penelope might've preferred so they could go ahead and get it over with, but she didn't care enough to say anything about it. They wouldn't have to wait long anyway, right? Right. Because now it seemed it was their turn.

She followed Gideon, Anya, and Tag over to the dragon, picking up one of the spare leashes. Then she looked over at their fifth group member. "C'mon, Zack," she said. He seemed to be the only one who hadn't grabbed a leash yet, and they couldn't do it if one leash wasn't held by someone.

...Or could they?

Ella nodded at Nigel's suggestion. It was definitely a good one. She liked Roro and all but wasn't sure she was ready to help give him a bath or anything. Did dragons even like water? Sure they liked to drink it but to play in? That was something she was curious about. "Nigel, I'm with you on that one." And she tightened her grip on the leash a little bit, sending the first year a small smile.

The second year was making sure Sophie hadn't hurt herself when Nigel called over to them to see if they were okay. "All good over here." She said, giving him a thumbs up. That had been close though. They would have to be careful not to let Roro tug them too much.

"Nice to meet you both Nerida and Angelina,'' Jory replied. "So, you two should start first and then I'll have a turn on the leash if that ok.'' He directed his attention to Roro. He looked all excited as they were to get the walk on the way.
