Sophie was excited about the CoMC final. She had never had troubles with exams and whatnot back at her muggle school, and was looking forward to Hogwarts exams, since she knew some of them would consist on a practical part.
"Hello, professor!" She smiled at him when she entered the barnyard. Her eyes were immediately drawn to the Pygmy Puffs. They were working with them again?? YAY! Sophie was even more excited now! She listened closely as professor Williamson gave the instructions.
That didn't sound difficult! Sophie went over to where the small creatures were and chose a bright orange Pygmy Puff this time. It looked really pretty!
"Hey there, little one! You're coming with me!" She walked back to her spot, staring at the orange ball of fluff. It was adorable and really fluffy. Even fluffier than Lavender.
"Bright orange... extremely fluffy... you must be a boy then!" Sophie told the Pygmy Puff as if it could understand her.
"Let's see what you like to eat, mister!" Walking up to the table, Sophie remembered that Lavender was more into sweet foods, so she decided to try the same thing with... Orange Fluff. She looked around and grabbed a muffin.
"Try this, Fluff!" She put the muffin in front of Orange Fluff and watched him sniffing it. ADORABLE, just like Lavender! Sophie's smile widened as Orange Fluff ate the whole muffin!
"You seem to be hungry! Here, try this!" She now offered some grapes. The Pygmy Puff didn't even sniff the fruits and swallowed them whole.
"Geesh, calm down, Orange Fluff! There's enough food here!" Sophie was impressed. This little creature was either really hungry or was a disguised ostrich!
"Now thi-- CALM DOWN!" She wasn't even able to offer him anything else, the Puff had used his really long tongue to scoop some of the whipped cream from a pie. Sophie's eyes widened as she pulled Orange Fluff away from the table. She gave Orange Fluff some chips as watched it eat everything.
"I think you're good now." She added walking further away from the table.
Sophie sat down and put Orange Fluff next to her.
"You stay here while I , Orange Fluff!" She told it, doubting that the Pygmy Puff would obey her. While writing, Sophie checked to see if the creature was still next to her.

The Pygmy Puff I picked today was bright orange and really fluffy. Because of these characteristics, I called him Orange Fluff. I know it is 'him' because of the brightness of its fur color and the fluffiness of it. Orange Fluff had no problems with any kind of food. He ate everything I offered him: grapes,a muffin and some chips. In fact, it probably wanted to taste more food, since he stuck his tonge out and had some whipped cream by himself. He is not picky at all and would eat everything from the table if I let him.
Pygmy Puffs won't harm you, they are very sweet creatures, but there will be sometimes that we will see ourselves in a very bad and dangerous situation. For example, while fishing. Fishing in the magical world, to be more specific. The reason I am saying this is because the person that is fishing can fall out of the boat and drown. If not drowning, he or she can encounter some dangerous creatures, like grindylow! In this kind of situation, the person should not panic. If possible, not do anything to harm and/or scare the creature. But, if the grindylow attacks for some reason, the wizard or witch must defend themselves. In this case, they could use a spell like "Relashio". It will not kill the grindylow, but will make it go away, so the witch or wizard will be safe without harming the creature!
This year I learned a lot of things, including these two stated above. Also, I noticed how fun it can be to have a pet, when they don't give you too much trouble. Us, humans, should take care of creatures, both magical and non magical. We can think and they can't, so we should not harm them, unless is extremely necessary for our own safety. Of course, I learned that we shouldn't always expect the best of creatures, because sometimes they do want to harm you. The best thing to do, then, is not to bother such creatures and leave them alone.
