Jory listened to the Professor's instructions carefully. Another year was almost done. He was looking forward to summer. He headed over to collect a pygmy puff. The third year stood looking at them all for a while before he decided on a bright green one. It was extremely fluffy. He reached out and gently took it into his hand, as he did so the Puff squeaked.
"Hey there, little guy,'' Jory said patting the Puff.
"We're going to be working together today. I hope you don't mind if I call you Furry.''
With Furry in his hand, Jory headed over to the food laden table. He plucked a grape from the cluster and held it to Furry who was now riding on his shoulder. Instantly, it was in the puff's mouth.
"So you love grapes,'' Jory said as he selected something else.
"So do I.'' He held up a piece of potato. Furry seemed to be taking a good look at it or even sniffing it. But then it just turned away.
"Not a fan of potato,'' Jory said to himself looking around for the third food item. He scooped up a bit of pudding onto two of his fingers. Instantly, Furry's tongue was licking up all of it.
"Loves pudding,'' Jory said scooping up some more for the Puff as a treat.
"Squeak!'' Fluffy said and began having the second set of pudding.
Finished with this part of the practical, Jory sat on the ground cross legged, and with Fluffy still on his shoulder and armed with an anti cheating quill, he began to write.
SPOILER!!: Essays
1. Furry seems to relish on grapes and the pudding. I remember from the class on Puffs, it was said that the creatures are are like vegetarians. And also they have a sweet tooth. Though potato may be in this case considered a vege, Furry seemed not to like it. Maybe because of the way it was cooked but he just seemed to stare at it, and even sniffing at it. In the end, he just turned away from the potato all together. The grape, I guess is sweet so he gobbled that up in no time. Instantaneous consumption also came to the pudding. So in general, for Furry, I'd say he's like most Puffs. Vegetarian and likes sweet.
For gender, I knew instantly that Furry was male. I also remembered what the Professor had told us earlier and Furry was bright green and very fluffy. And he did make high humming sounds.
2. Like most dark creatures, Grindylows attack when necessary. Those creatures have long strong fingers but it can be broken.
It was a hot day and I desired a swim. I used Gillyweed to be able to breathe underwater and swam off. Minutes later, I was being attacked by a few Grindylows. I was about to panic but I knew I had to keep my head on. Recalling what was done earlier lesson in the Lake, I quickly took out my wand and used the appropriate spell. "Relashio!'' I repeated the spell causing those Grindylows that had grips to release me immediately. I swam away trying not to attract any more of those scary creatures.
3. I've learnt things that couldn't have been thought better. My favourite class was about the Puffs. I never knew what they ate and was particularly interested in how their genders were determined as well as finding out what food they ate. Another class I enjoyed and learnt alot from was the class where the Skrewt attacked. I learnt that panic can make a situation turn dangerous and if there's team work, an attacking creature can easily be defeated. I learnt about dangerous creatures and how to deal with some.
For future lessons,I'd like to learn about Hippogriffs. The cross between a horse and eagle fascinates me. Practical lessons are highly anticipated too.
