"Ahh,Professor help!!!!", Herminny exclaimed as the bucket was forced from her hands. The abraxan then started swinging the bucket back and forth spilling the whiskey everywhere including on Herminny and all over it's stall.
Professor Morgan saw the chaos that was beginning over by Herminny. She shook her head. Some students just weren't very good around magical creatures. Trouble seemed to follow this one everywhere. Pulling out her wand, Iliana summoned the bucket of whiskey from Hugo and dried Herminny's robes. Then she walked over to the young Gryffindor. "Sweetie, I think you've spooked him. Would you like to try that again?" she asked, offering her a new bucket. She eyed the Abraxan sternly for a moment and then added, "He should behave now."

"They might if you're not careful, Dani. Just try to relax," she said, waiting for her to pick an abraxan of her own. "Do you need help selecting one?"

With a gigantic sniff that made Kiri's hair whirl around, it apparently decided that the bucket's contents were acceptable, and it sank it's gigantic head in and began drinking.
Kiri nearly dropped the bucket as the creature's head came to rest on the bucket's rim. It was so heavy! The Abraxan wasn't helping by shaking it back and forth as it drank greedily. The noises it made sounded like a a giant water transport lock being drained. Droplets of the liquid were being spilled everywhere, running across Kiri's face and hands. She clamped her mouth shut.
Professor Morgan walked behind the students, noting everyone's progress. "Kiri, you're doing excellent!" she said, patting the girl on the back. "Very well done."

"C'mere, Dani," he said gently, wishing the bucket wasn't so heavy that he had to concentrate on heaving it up. "Hey, could you, like raise the bottom of the bucket? This thing is too heavy for me."
Plus, being so short, he was using every effort to hold it up high. Glancing at the professor, Jake added warily, "Umm, if that's okay."

She didn't like the big creatures, she was already tiny compared to regular sized things. She pushed the bucket up a little bit. She would have preffered a niffler or a krup, but she could handle this. She shook a little.
Hearing the conversation between Jakey and Dani, the professor walked over to the pair and secretly levitated the bucket for him. "Actually Jake," she replied. "Dani and I are going to find a lovely,
gentle abraxan over here," she placed her hand on the little girl's back and guided her over towards the free abraxans.
"Here Dani, this one is called Desdemona. She's very nice." With that said, she set a bucket at Dani's feet and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Professor, since they require forceful care, will they just eat out of the bucket on their own will?" she said with a shakyish voice.
"I don't think you'll need to do much to convince him, Satine," she said with a small laugh. There was whiskey in the buckets after all.
Their favorite.

The barrier was a pretty thing, too. Pretty thing in the "good thing" sense, if you get what I mean. Because, honestly, Fyo did NOT want to be ate by an Abraxan, no matter how oh-so-awesome the creature was. And, really, who would tease Torin if Fyo got ATE? No random hugs for Butterfly, too.
And definitely no sand monstersRAWR, either.
Still, for now he had the bucket, and for now there was the barrier and so, for now he was pretty satisfied. Standing in front of the Abraxan, Fyo waited for further instructions and, when they came, he was only too happy to follow them. Time to raise 'em buckets.
Raising the bucket was easy. Fyo had always been stronger than most boys his age - something which he found solace in, because he was not that tall, a thing a lot of his oh-so-manly cousins were always reminding him of - and now he found that, even though the bucket was not exactly a very light thing, it was not too difficult for him to raise it to the Abraxan's mouth.
SLURP! He nearly jumped, the creature's mouth came down so suddenly. Gosh, he must have been thirsty. And he was.... mighty. To Fyo, it was a wonder he wasn't in the air, clinging to the bucket for dear life as the Abraxan shook it with all of his might!
Iliana looked over at Fyo appraisingly. "Very good Fyo, very good."

"Okay now that you've each had an opportunity to get to know your abraxan, we're going to move on to something a bit... more challenging," she said. Bending down, she skillfully picked up Trinity's hoof.
"I'm going to remove the partition and I need each of you to clean out the hooves. You need to stand behind the abraxan's leg and gently but firmly tap behind its knee. Your abraxan will raise their hoof like so..." she said. "Once the hoof is in your hand, gently place it between your knees, this will help you keep it in place. When you're ready, take out your wand and gently clean the hoof with water, using the augamenti and scourgify charms."
Professor Morgan released her hold on Trinity's leg and laid it back on the ground. Then she raised her wand again and the partition disappeared. "Everyone begin. I'll be right here if you need assistance.
OOC: Okay guys 
This is your final. Have fun but keep in mind that your grade will be reflective of how well you RP these next tasks. Feel free to ask questions if you have them. GOOD LUCK!
