I discovered that Pygmy Puffs are very independant creatures, well at least Flippert is because when I took him into the bathroom today, he managed to wash himself in the sink, and even pushed down the plug by himself. He also found his own water to drink from the tap as I washed my hands. Its like I don't even have too feed him or take care of him, Flippert can do it all himself. Im only needing to feed him things because of this assignment!

He is a bit of a showoff. I wanted to get him involved socially with some other Pygmes puffs but it turned out that no other Slytherins had one on hand! But I did discover that pygmy's have the same colour saliva as their fur! I never read that in any books, so I think it may be a new discovery. Because I mean, wizards don't of tend see pygmy spit cause their tongues are like little tubes inside of their mouths. And pygmy's don't seem to drool or spit that regularaly, and the mouth tube is so small it would be so hard to see inside of. So I conclude that Flippert needs some social interaction, and pygmy's have coloured spit. Slytherin Common Room Girl's Washroom

After my failed attenpt to get Flippert to socialise, I took him down to the secret passage.
He was able to run to the end of the passage and back in one minute and twenty eight seconds. Im not sure how long the passage was, but when I walked down there it felt like I was walking forever. Maybe the passage had a spell on it that makes it seem like it is longer then it looks (well it is secret). Or maybe Pygmy Puffs are naturaly really fast runners. They would have to be, because they are so small and light, plus in the wild they'd need to run away from predators. Although not many Pygmy Puffs live in the wild anymore because us wizards want to keep them as pets. Secret Passage
