"Gameskeeper Firth, I'll help take care of the baby until it's sold if you need!" Baby cows were cute. A small voice he was unfamiliar with caught his attention. Smiling, he addressed the female Badger. "Tha' would be lovely, yes. Anyone is more'n welcome ter come visit and help if I need anything." Those Hufflepuffs really were very helpful.

The bed of hay was pretty big now. Any bigger and the poor cow would need a harness to be lifted onto it. "Okay, okay, that's enough hay. If you still haven't added your load to the bed, then just make a separate stack of it over there," she said, pointing to a different location. "We have enough hay on this bed for now."
Once the cow was good and situated, Peyton backed up then turned to the students. "...and now, we wait." Which could be an hour, so they may as well get comfortable.
...but just as she said that, an extra loud, "MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" echoed throughout the little enclosure.
She grew wide-eyed and frantically gestured toward Firth, although she knew he'd know what to do, as well. "This is it, class! Either look up or turn away now." Because they did have two choices.
She watched as Firth helped the mother cow adjust her position a bit more, and then once he reached up, she knew he was guiding he cow out into the world. Moments later, a tiny little calf was there in the enclosure. "So perfect!" she exclaimed. "Such a little miracle!" Well he was certainly glad that she was monitoring the size of the hay beds, because Bonny was occupying his attention. Yes, they were plenty large enough now.
When the giant moo happened, he was glad that Peyton had the sense to alert the class. She was obviously more able to keep a level head than he was. Ali began to sweat, nervous and excited in equal amounts. I'm glad I have someone with experience looking on. He still didn't want to mess up in front of her, though; the last thing he wanted was to be embarrassed in front of someone he sort of... No, don't think about that right now. Focus, Alistaire.
And then, faster than he could've imagined, out came the most amazing creature he had seen in a long time. He caught the calf and placed it gently onto the bed of hay the students had made. Then he proudly announced, "I's a girl!"
Still smiling, he gently but firmly picked up the baby and brought it over to the smaller bed the students had prepared. "This is a fairly small calf, only around 60 or 65 pounds. Bu' firs' things first. If yeh'd like ter help stimulate the calf's breathing and rub its back an' belly a bit, please quietly an' without shovin' come an' do so now." Chaos was not what Bonny or the baby needed at the moment. "I do have for yeh," he raised his wand and Summoned something from his hut, "a box of gloves for yeh so yeh don' have ter get yer hands all gross and wet." Text Cut: Dylan Quote:

There was a semi-freak out going on the Slytherin's end of things.
The Captain could usually pride himself on having a tough stomach...and being able to handle things that were full of guts and gore...He played zombie video games, for Merlin's sake...but this...was on a whole different plane of gross.
...
Hearing the resounding MOO...it was instinct and reflex to LOOK...and Dylan...Well, one could find him doubled over...trying NOT to vomit into his hands...He'd seen....and....
GURGLE! Firth stepped off to the side now to let the students through. But he still kept a watchful eye on both mother and new baby just in case any Amazonian Gryffindors students were too rough. So it was that he noticed the Slytherin Captain looking mighty green around the gills. "If yeh aren' feelin' well, perhaps yeh better step outside fer some fresh air." And not be sick all over himself.
