"That it is, Ms. Fairfield," he nodded, appreciating her enthusiasm but hoping for the sake of his sanity that it didn't extend much beyond this.

.... What.

"Glad to hear that...." Uh, good to know that first years still believed in hygiene? But no, that's not what the tubs were for. Not for them, at least.


...

Finally the trickle of students began to lessen after the sudden peak in arrivals. It was always a bell shaped curve and by the time the seconds started to matter most, the majority of the class was already in attendance. Glad to see they were choosing to practice punctuality. James took a look at his watch, waiting until the minute hand reached it’s proper home before walking over to center himself in front of the class. ”Good morning,” he started. ”Instead of wasting time with a lengthy introduction, we’re jumping right into business today.” How did that sound? No complaints yet, were there? Because if so, James really didn’t care to hear them. #SorryNotSorry.

”I have been in contact with a local animal shelter since the beginning of term and with their help, we made it possible to bring some furry visitors in for the day.” And with a flick of his wand, he revealed the cruppy pen which had previously been under a disillusionment charm. The cruppies were as enthusiastic as the bounciest of Hufflepuffs, jumping on top of each other and letting out soft barks in excitement. Even James Draper couldn’t help but smile warmly at the sight. It was enough to melt even the coldest of hearts.

”Today we’ll be going over proper crup care, as well as getting some hands on experience,” he said walking over to the pen pausing momentarily to let the students take a look. They were excited, yeah? Cruppies were a lot more fun than some of the other possible lessen subjects. ”With that being said, I’m going to ask everyone to walk over to the pen calmly and single file. Once I hand you a cruppy, you can take it and sit by a tub station. You want it to gain your trust from the beginning so now would be a great time to make friends. Be gentle, show them some love, while we wait for everyone to get a cruppy.” Nothing too difficult, yeah?

Just to be sure, he picked on up and held it in his arms, giving her a nice rub behind her ears. Did they get it? Gentle. Calm. Love. Fairly straightforward. Easy enough even for the first years. ... Alright so what were they waiting for?


OOC: This marks the official start of the lesson! Any arrivals posted after this point will risk point loss dun, dun, DUN.

For this task:
+ Don’t wait for me to post James giving you a cruppy, just play as if you’ve been handed one
+ Each cruppy has a collar with a name plate, so feel free to make up the name
+ This is your chance to play with the crups, pet them, talk to them, etc

Only one post needed, but feel free to do more! I’ll post again in 15+ hours.

Well that was awkward. But really, Vivian didn't seem to have a filter to her words at the moment. She literally blurted out whatever her eleven year old brain could think of. Usually that got her into trouble but at least not today. Yay for that, then?

When class started, the Slytherin paid close attention. She wasn't really sure about the real reason why they were presented with tub stations in class today. She tilted her head a little bit. But when Professor Draper mentioned FURRY VISITORS, her jaw dropped. "GODZILLA!" Hehehehe! "Except... he's not furry. He's actually pretty scary." Meh... could someone stop her from talking please?

It was only when the pen was revealed when Vivian's face lit up. CRUPPIES! OH MY GOSH! She was literally all heart eyes at the moment. Of course, she wasn't going to allow herself to be LAST to receive a cruppy so when they were allowed to form a line, she blotted up and went immediately. Ain't got no time for slackers, yo! Also, since she was soooo far away from Prancer, she was very excited to play with one today!

When it was her turn, the blonde tried to contain her excitement... which she failed at, by the way. She was oozing with enthusiasm. Once she was handed one, she felt like she was going to burst into happy tears. A cruppy... in her arms!

BEST. DAY. EVER. ;______;

"Hi, cutie patootie! What your name be?" Vivian said as she stroked the fella's fur. Adorable. This was amazing. "Oh, your name's..." Vivi squinted at the name tag around the puppy's neck. "Pepito." Strange name, though. She wouldn't name her dog that, by the way. Oh well, the fact that the cruppy looked SO CUTE made up for it.

And yeah, she received cruppy appreciation licks and cuddles. Happy Vivian was happy.
