Ameliah nodded. Simple. Sh walked over to the cute little furballs. OMIGOSH?! "This one!" she decided on a particularly cute purple one. The little puff spun around happily, wanting to be chosen. She picked her up. "Hi girlie," she could tell it was a girl because it was bigger, duller-colored, and less fluffy than some of the others, "I'm Ameliah! I''l be experimenting on you!" She thoughtfully looked at her. She needs a name... "I'll call you... Pitz!!" Yeah. It's creative.

Ameliah walked to the food, Pitz on her shoulder, sniffing her curiously. She took a deep breath.

Ameliah started with a few slices of banana. The puff looked at it, then the red-head witch. SQUEEEAK she complained. "Alright, alright, we'll find something else." She then selected the raison bread. Pitz sniffed it, then looked at it in a would-be disgusted sort of face. Ameliah groaned. "You are so picky!" she sighed. "Last resort." She the picked up the one thing she knew no puff could resist-- a brownie. Pitz started to freak out! SQUEEE!! SQUEEE!! She ran down Ameliah's arm and onto the brwonie, devouring it happily. "Guess you're a sweets girl like me!"

She grabbed another (small) brownie to keep Pitz content while she wrote the essay.

Text Cut: ESSAY TIME!!!!

1. I chose a purple Pygmy Puff. I could tell it was a female because it had a duller coat, was a bit less fluffy, and was bigger. I called her Pitz, because I felt she needed a name.

Then, I began the practical portion. First, I tried the banana wheels. Pitz made a complaining squeak, sounding offended. I tried the bread next. The purple puff sniffed, and I thought she would eat it. But then she made a face that I assumed was of disgust. Finally, I tried the brownie. She LOVED the brownie, and ate it quickly.

2. I am horribly clumsy! There is a great chance I could fall into the lake. If I fell, grindylows would see it as a chance and grab me, trying to pull me to the bottom. In this case, I would definently not struggle. This would only egg on the water demons, making chance of escape next to impossible. I would reach for my wand (kept in my boot), and hold it at ready. I excel at nonverbal spells, so I would use Relashio. Doing so would release the grip, as grindylow fingers are brittle, and I could return to land.

3. I learned a lot in Care of Magical Creatures. I learned that dealing with dangerous creatures isn't all spell (which I was slightly disappointed about). You need to keep a cool head at the same time. I also learned about diversity. Many of the creatures we discussed had completely different physical traits, as well as different ideas. For example, Pitz refused several foods, while my pet puff, Mel, eats everything! I want to learn about creatures in the Forbidden Forest to further my knowledge of how to care for and confront different magical creatures. Thanks for a great term, Proffesor!
