What could possibly go wrong when they repeated that scenario with their dragon eggs?

Other than that Aurora had almost dropped her egg twice on the journey down from Ravenclaw tower to the grounds, once when the staircase had decided to change directions and she was caught unaware and the other when an over-excited first year went whizzing past her, knocked her elbow and she had to catch the egg as it was tossed up in the air. In hindsight it might have been a clever idea to have picked up one of those baby carriers but it was too late now. It had left her wondering what would happen if she accidentally cracked it open early but she wasn’t reckless enough to want to find out.

The rest of the journey to the domes was spent treading carefully until she settled into an empty dome and placed the egg gently onto a cushion to keep warm and cosy in the regulated air. She hadn’t actually chosen which type of dragon she preferred and was hoping that trying a mix of all hatching methods would result in one at random so that she wouldn’t be forced to make the decision herself. She was dressed in a sparkly jacket however, one that she and her sister had bejeweled themselves many years ago and of which Aurora miraculously still managed to squeeze her way into. She’d also brought along a wad of sheet music she’d found in the music classroom for her and Anna to attempt to sing, despite not being able to read music at all. Even if they weren’t entirely in tune, the lyrics would be correct.

To pass the short time it would hopefully take the Hufflepuff to arrival, she began humming a simple tune whilst flicking through her notes from the egg collection day.

Taking care of this dragon egg had turned out to be less of an exercise in dragon care and more additional therapy for her memory and its retainment. She had, at last, gotten into a proper journaling routine per the healer's instruction and there was nary a day she forgot to add an entry or two. With the additional responsibility of an egg in her care, Anna felt like she was doing a better job at recalling tasks and fine details. Not to say that she ever forgot to take care of Merryweather, because that had never happened, but there was something about the extra obligation was...helping? Maybe it was more about having short term goals since this egg care business was only for about a week's time so the goal was in sight before things even began. In any case, Anna could not wait for today's egg bonding session with Aurora and had come prepared with a couple of items in her satchel bag.

The Hufflepuffle also had not taken one of the carrier backpack things, she had forgotten in the warmth of the moment and had been too eager to get started, and thus when it wasn't kept wrapped up snuggly on her bed she walked around hugging the egg to her chest. Her memory may seemingly be getting better, but she still struggled to remember all the buzzwords, tis, and tricks that came with hatching them sooooooooo she had placed a piece of parchment to the front of her egg by way of a Permanent Sticking Charm (and that meant that it was only semi-permanent because Anna had been the one to perform it) with these and Anna usually read them or mouthed them to herself when walking the corridor with her egg.

Antipodean Opaleye : SHINY
Chinese Fireball : FIRE
Common Welsh Green : MUSIC
Hebridean Black : SPACE
Hungarian Horntail : QUIDDITCH
Norwegian Ridgeback : WATER
Peruvian Vipertooth : RUN
Romanian Longhorn : MOUNTAINS
Swedish Short-Snout : BLUE
Ukrainian Ironbelly : BIG

The list had been helpful, for the most part, but results were bound to be skewed thanks to her unconscious incompetence. Humming a nursery rhyme of some sort (it was more of a combination of two or three but they still flowed together nicely enough for her not to notice, Anna made her way to the dome Aurora occupied and immediately dropped her egg while beginning to wave at her best friend.

*KLUNK*

"Waaaah! Oh gosh, I'm so sorry Sunny!" she squeaked as she scrambled to pick it back up and gingerly wiped it down with the hem of her shirt to remove any smudges that may have appeared. She didn't see any dents or cracks...but she was feeling rather panicked and did not entirely trust her judgement. "Do they look okay?" she asked Aurora, thrusting her egg towards the Ravenclaw for inspection.
