He could have a HORSE? WITH WINGS?

That wasn't advertised.

Hadleigh couldn't help but notice the look on the young boys face as he looked at some of the creatures housed there in the barn. Was it just her or did he appear a bit.. upset? Or angry perhaps? She supposed it was understandable. Not every student knew that students and professors sometimes kept their own familiars/pets in the barn.

"Within reason and given permission from both myself and the Headmaster then, yes it would be allowed. Certain requirements have to be met for each and every creature under our care." She couldn't just allow every single student that wanted to bring a familiar along with them to do so. All creatures were different and required their own enclosures or cages or whatever it was they were being housed in. Then there was the matter of the creatures behavior, feeding habits and everything else. There was many things to consider.

She took every single thing into full consideration for all of the creatures sake as well as all of her students that would be coming in here to see them. He was always welcome to discuss bringing a creature here if he liked.

Any other people and he might have been tempted to spit at them. But he supposed that depended on his mood in the moment or if a threat were to be perceived.

His whole body started to feel a bit strange, though it didn't seem to be the fault of the hand now on his head. Had he perhaps had some bad grass?

Was what she doing silly? Perhaps. Did that make her think twice about doing it, nope it did not.

Keighley stood there with her hand outstretched and waited for something to happen. Anything. Yet when the soft fluffy cloud like snout pressed itself into her hand, the young Hufflepuff had to bite back a child-like squeal of delight. With the brightest smile on her face, she very happily gave the alpaca some gentle pets.

Would it be a big deal if she stood right here for a little while petting this random alpaca in the middle of the pasture? No? Good, cause that's exactly what she was going to do. And yes, she was totally ignoring that look Kanga was now giving her. Sorry, not sorry. It wasn't everyday she got to pet an alpaca that wasn't running away, spitting at her or trying to bite her.
