"Good guesses, everyone," he made certain to look at the ones who'd had the right answer, "this is indeed a dragon egg. Although some of you identified it easily enough and were spot-on with your assumption, others of you were... a little off. I assure you, this is NOT a... a mutated pygmy puff egg," especially since puffs were mammals and had live births, "or a phoenix or salamander egg."

Could you IMAGINE a giant salamander egg? Creepy.

"So let's talk about how you identify a dragon egg if you have one." The quaking sounds behind William grew a little louder and the first faint fissures appeared on the surface of the light green egg. "First things first. if possible, measure it!" He flicked his wand and a little tapeworm-like measuring tape sprang out, instantly crawling all around the egg and measuring things.

"Second off, if you can't measure it, do a side-by-side comparison with something that you CAN measure, like this ostrich, chicken, and chocolate egg!" Speaking of the chocolate egg.... he walked over to it and picked it up, unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth.

Chewing around the chocolate, William continued. "Third, get out your nearest reference book and try to figure out its species by the color, texture, and size of the egg! This will also help you figure out how to take care of it and how to prepare yourself for the hatching, as some breeds breathe fire sooner than others."

He nodded around at them all, sincerely hoping that they were being good little children and were taking notes. ~~That way, he'd look extra awesome in front of his coworkers.~~ "This breed, though, does not. Knowing that I, your professor, used to work on a Romanian dragon sanctuary, and knowing that we have a light green sort of egg here, what sort of breed do you think this one is?"

A DRAGON EGG.

How cool. And Theodore wasn't even scared cos he was sure that it would only be a harmless baby in there. No fire-breathing things that were as tall as buildings, thanks....

But he hadn't a clue what kind of dragon it was. Since when were students at Hogwarts dragon experts?

Theodore eyed the other students, then finally raised his hand, "I think it is a Romanian dragon." Oh really.... "A... baby green dragon." OH YEAAAAAAAAAAH.
