SPOILER!!: Kodee Quote:

Kodee swaggered into the classroom, giving the dolls a cursory look before walking right over to Schmoe with all the confidence of someone sure he was going to nail this.
"I'll need a boy, he's gonna be Kodee jr." This was...like...a restaurant, yeah? You just...ordered the baby and...paid the money? No money? Got a good grade? O for effort? Yeah, however this worked. "The name might be a work in progress but it'll probably happen. His mum's not here, but you can go ahead and put her down, too. Mackenzie Motts--can I have that one? It looks like a winner."
Point. Point. The one right there. He'd be a lady killer one day. Out of all the people he anticipated would be eager to start this assignment, Kodee Chosen had not been one of them. It was a nice surprise, however, to see him so excited about a homework assignment. There were first times for everything. Ho, ho, ho. Finneas looked up at the Gryffindor, trying to hold back a laugh and ending up in an uncomfortable looking smile instead.
"Errrr, yes, that is all very well," though he wasn't sure how much Ms. Motts would appreciate the 'Kodee Jr.' bit. "There are plenty of options on the table, you can have your first pick." Meaning, that one he was pointing to. All his. "Go ahead and pick on out and err... retrieve one of the bags. Then we can get some forms signed and you'll be all set." Congratulations, you're almost a dad! Kind of. SPOILER!!: Bernadette & Phoebe Quote:

"Hello, Professor Schmoe." Bernie bounced up to him, all ready to GO. "Do you need help passing out babies? I can hand them out. I can hand off the diaper bags if you need me to." Anything he needed, she'd help with!
And then she could pick her baby out last, like, they could save the best one for her. Mmkay thanks! Quote:

But it sounded FUN, so. Phoebe followed the bouncing Bernie at a only-slightly more sedate pace, waiting for her dormmate to stop playing 20 questions with Professor Schmoe. The moment that Bernie paused for breath, Phoebe grabbed her hand and swung it.
"We're gonna be mommas. Sign us up for a baby. Oh, should we do one of those hyphenated names?" "Hello, Bernadette," Finneas looked up from his desk and gave her a small smile. Was it a coincidence that all of the Gryffindors were arriving first, or had they all marched down from the tower as a group? Questions. Schmoe had them.
And evidently, so did she. Before Finneas could answer her, however, another Gryffindor (Phoebe James, for that matter) came along. "No need, Bernadette," though she did earn extra brownie points for offering her assistance. "You and Ms. Phoebe can go pick out the newest addition to your family."
Did he worry about having two young Gryffindors paired up? Yes. But Finneas worried about most things. "Grab a bag as well and then come back and we will get your forms signed."
SPOILER!!: Isla and Blake Quote:

Having said that...
NOTHING could prepare her for what she was about to do. She was only eleven years old! Sure, she was literally weeks away from turning twelve, but twelve was young, too! She wasn't ready to be a mama and no desire to help some tiny human with messy diapers and feeding times.
But here she was anyway...
"Hello, Professor," she said. "If you hear of anybody looking for a co-parent, let me know!" She'd be a single mother if she had to, but if there was somebody willing to take in a messy diaper or two, she would not start complaining. Quote:

He was looking around to see if there was anyone interested in co-parenting. Blake noticed Bernadette and took a step toward he. Things had been strange lately .. but nothing they couldn't over come... but then he noticed some other kid grab her hand ... Blake's face flushed with jealousy ... excitement for her and turned away.
Noticing Isla looking for a partner as well he smiled. "I'll co-parent with you Isla!" He added .. smiling .. it's just like playing house... which of course he didn't do anymore ever since he was a 'MAN'. Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana It literally didn't take any time at all for her to find a co-parent. The professor hadn't even had time to respond to her request yet, and along came Blake. "Thanks, Blake! This is going to be so much more fun with a friend to work with," she said. Actually, she wasn't quite sure how she really felt about this yet. She wasn't sure if, in the end, she'd use the word 'fun'. Maybe. Maybe not. What she meant, though, was that trying to be an eleven-year-old mother would be so much better with another kid her age trying to figure things out, too.
Well, it was settled then. She took a seat by Blake. I mean, if they were going to doing this whole parenting thing together, they should probably be seated together when the bug moment came...when their new baby was placed in their arms! This would be just like it was when she was super little and still played with baby dolls.
Except...this came with real diaper changes. O_O. "Hullo," Finneas chimed back. He would very much keep an eye out on--Oh, no need! The Muggle Studies Professor gave both of them a smile before motioning towards the dolls. "Go ahead and pick one out, then come to sign your forms." Baby? Bag? Forms? Easy peasy. SPOILER!!: Stella Quote:
Originally Posted by Granger Danger Stella was a bit nervous about this and practically blushing a bit to herself. Okay... so she was going to be a mum to a fake baby for three months no biggie. Oceanus offered to help her with this assignment so she was good, did that make him the 'daddy'? Okay... that sounded a bit weird seeing how she was fifteen and he was sixteen.
Walking into the classroom she smiled at Professor Schmoe. " Hello Professor, I hope your well today, any gender will do for me, I'm not picky. " As for naming she and Oceanus had this covered, they were amazing at naming their dogs and horses. Stella raised puppies and horses this wasn't too much different was it? Oh... boy she hoped Oceanus was ready for this. Honestly? If Finneas knew people would be this excited about homework, he would have done this aGES ago! Maybe. Errrr... It was also a risk. He looked up again as another Gryffindor made her way inside. So many Gryffindors. In a way, it almost felt fitting. "Errr, yes," he smiled uncomfortably. There was a spiel he was holding back, but only because this was not the time or the place. He motioned towards the tables, "pick one out and grab a bag, then we can errr make things official." He had things he needed them to sign and fill out. SPOILER!!: Cecelia Quote:
Originally Posted by TakemetotheBurrow BABIES!

"Hello Professor! I'll take a baby! A nice one, if you can manage. My little brother was the nicest baby and I'd like one like that. Not much of a crier, liked all the different baby foods, always up for an adventure or a nap." Just the normal stuff, you know... "Oh and I'll co-parent OR be on my own, doesn't matter to me!" She smiled and shrugged. She was game for an-y-thing. Finneas gave young Cecelia a warm, awkward smile. "Hullo," before he could get another word in she began listing off preferences and Finneas found himself lost in her all of her words. "Well." Could he promise her all of that? Uh. "Maybe it would be best if you picked one out yourself, then," he nodded. Solutions! He had them. "And once you've done that and errr retrieved your baby bag, come back and we'll sign your papers to make it official."
SPOILER!!: Valencia Quote:
Originally Posted by LilFox06 Valencia was very curious. She had plenty of experience with babies. She had little cousins (and people she wasn't related to that she also called cousins).

"Hello Professor." she greeted. Finneas looked up at their next arrival, fidget spinner still in hand btw. "Hello, Valencia," he motioned towards the tables with dolls. "Errr go ahead and pick one out... Grab a bag too, and we can get you started." SPOILER!!: Nora Quote:
Originally Posted by Yaya Nora walked into the classroom, still thinking this was a crazy assignment to take, all the diapers she had to change, the feeding, the back patting to make the /baby/ burp, the hours of sleep she'd lose. But then, Ethan had agreed (though kind of fought the thought for a moment) to help, which encouraged her a little bit more to do it.
They could make it, three months. No big deal, right?
"Good day, Professor! I'll take a baby. My partner isn't here yet, Ethan Denton, we're gonna co-parent..." Her words, felt like an oath. They were going to take care of a doll baby 24/7 for three months. "Errrr very well," Finneas nodded, giving her an awkward smile. Denton was an interesting choice to be a co-parent. It also made Finneas wonder if there was anything going on between the two of them, not that it was his business but... Curious. He was that. "Pick out your little one and errrr grab a bag, we'll get to signing the papers afterwards." SPOILER!!: Cole & Claudine Quote:
Originally Posted by Nordic Witch Cole walked into the muggle studies classroom, wondering not for the first time if he was crazy to want try parenting a baby doll. He probably hadn't really grasped all that he was required to do from changing diapers to the feeding for the next 3 months. At least Cole wasn't going to be doing this alone. He'd do it with Claudine. They'd team and give each other encouragement when needed, yes?
Approaching Professor Schmoe he said "Good day Professor Schome. Can I get a baby, any gender works. I'm gong to co-parent with Claudine Blaze. She'll be here in a minute." Hopefully Claudine hadn't gotten cold feet. Cole was not doing this alone. Quote:

She still had been considering skipping the project when Cole had asked her to be his partner. At first, she was rather reluctant. Had she been considering doing the project, she would have worked solo as usual. But after giving it some thought, especially after they spent time sketching and talking about art, she decided to accept his request.
The second year stepped into the Muggle Studies classroom and spotted Mr. Hair immediately. This meant she was right on the time they had agreed to. “Hi, Cole. Hello, Professor.’’ There was no smile, just the usual solemn Claudine even though she was pleased to an extent to see Schmoe. “Would this ‘baby’ have life-like movements?’’ Since they were able to do magic, she wouldn’t put it pst Schmoe to enchant the baby to make it seem real at times.
Finneas decided to set his fidget spinner down now that there was a regular trickle of students coming in. "Good day, Cole," he felt slightly awkward with the choice of words, but time and place. He motioned towards the tables behind him, "feel free to take a look around. Grab one of the supply bags. If you errr, want to wait for Clau--" Perfect timing!
"Hullo," he blinked a few times as he greeted the young Slytherin. "... Limited movements. It's a doll, afterall!" BIG smiles all around. "As I was just telling Cole, you two can go pick out your baby and when you've done that, I'll just need you to sign off on some forms together."
SPOILER!!: Islay Quote:
Originally Posted by Optimist.Prime Islay walked into muggle studies and just sort of stood there for a moment as she took everything in. Babies.

”good day Professor Schmoe,” Islay smiled over to the Professor as he played with his fidget spinner. ”…sir, I have one question is there anything that we need to avoid using on these faux-babies that will ruin our marks?” she asked thinking slightly about the story her mother aunt had told her about how she had done one of these assignments back in the day…and about her classmate that had shorted out his doll by making it a suit of armor out of tinfoil.
Finneas turned, watching as Islay just... stood. It was a little nerve wracking for some inexplicable reason. "Er... Yes," he nodded. Her question was.... interesting. "Is there something... unconventional that you plan on using on them?" Because if there was to be a concern he would like to know now???
Errrr. "Babies are very sensitive, just keep that in mind. You should treat your as if it were real..." He had concerns. So many concerns. "If that is your only question.... Er... You can go pick yours out and then we can sign off on some papers." SPOILER!!: Chloe Quote:
Originally Posted by Bazinga This long term assignment was weird, did he know? How was a castle full of teenagers going to deal with babies?

Chloe stopped at this thought and started to laugh, she could picture being int he Headmaster's class and the babies all going off at once.
In all seriousness though Chloe felt she could handle this. She had been around babies and when Aidan was born her mother made her help out a lot. It was her punishment that break for the cookie issue.
"Hi professor" she gave a wave as she went to find a spot to wait for her baby.
You know, Finneas had many of the same concerns. What could possibly go wrong! He smiled at Chloe as she walked into the room, "Hullo!" She was waiting quite patiently, did she know? "Ms. McCarthy, feel free to pick one out and grab a baby bag... Then come back to me and we'll sign off on a few things before you can leave!"
