Once again, and possibly for the last time in the term...no, Freya's entire school career, the student made her way down to the nursery to check up on Noor the Knarl.

She entered and immediately removed her cloak, not even needing it anymore since it was already too hot for her liking outside. Putting on a pair of thick gloves, Freya walked over to Noor's cage, gasping slightly at what she saw in front of her.
"Oh gosh..." It seemed that Noor had grown some more, the poor thing could no longer fit inside her wooden sleeping box and was sniffing eagerly as her caretaker showed up. "You sure are the size of a cat now aren't you?" True, the once tiny Knarl now looked fairly heavy, and her spines were the length of large nailfiles. "You just have to have a pituitary issue going on, sweetheart."
Freya opened the top of the cage and with a slight grunt, removed the knarl from inside. "I certainly don't think it's normal for you to be this big." She held the animal out in front of her and looked her over. Everything looked fine, her claws were perfect, the nose wasn't runny, her fur wasn't even that dirty, and the teeth were slightly crooked as they'd always been.

With a sigh, Freya brought Noor to the inside play area and locked her in before making her way back to the cage to clear it out. 'I think moving her to a new cage is best...'. Her eyes glanced around the nursery and found a few larger, vacant cages. 'This one should do fine.' She chose one that was closer to a window and cleaned the old cage out entirely. 'I hope Professor Morgan doesn't have a problem with me doing this.'
Freya filled the new cage with a good amount of shavings before picking up the old sleeping box and looking it over thoroughly. Tapping her wand on the box, Freya managed to make it much bigger, enough so that Noor could happily fit inside. 'That should work nicely for my giant Knarl.' Looking back to the playpen, Freya saw Noor pacing the perimeter and gazed towards her caretaker when Freya's eyes caught her. The student sighed and walked back over to her animal, picked her up and brought her back to the new cage.

"Now, don't get all fussy with me, I had to move you since it seems you might have developed some sort of acromegaly...or gigantism, I'm not sure. Anyway, here's something that I know you like." Freya placed a solid ball into the cage for Noor to play with and bury possibly. Noor had made herself at home in Freya's arms and was starting to chew on the ends of the girl's sleeves. "Nuh uh, enough of that." Freya pushed the Knarl's head away and couldn't help but smile a little bit.
After a moment more of cuddling her animal, Freya placed Noor into the new cage and stayed put for a while longer. "You do realize that if I take you back with me you'll have to put up with Silas? Of course if he messes around too much with you he'll get a big snoutfull of quills." Noor merely looked up at Freya like she was waiting for something.
The student filled Noor's water dish and food dish. This time adding a few more insect segments to the growing amount of food, seeing as how Noor probably needed more nourishment than before.

Of course, like usual, Noor took one sniff of her food and left it be. But instead of going to sleep like she normally would do, she gazed up at Freya again, the word 'out' clearly expressed in her beady black eyes. "Ohhh..." Freya lifted her knarl back out of the cage and sat down with her on the floor, leaning against the wall. "Curse you for being so dang cute..." She laughed slightly and allowed Noor to curl up on her lap; her long-clawed feet pointed towards the ceiling. 'You're still a big baby.' Freya thought as she stroked the less dangerous gaps of Noor's spine covered body.
