One of the areas on the grounds Professor Paton encourages students to get comfortable visiting is the barns, with the connecting pastures nearby. The barn is conveniently located by the meadow clearing in which Care of Magical Creatures lessons are held when the weather is good. Within the barn an array of magical creatures can be located, ranging from flobberworms to the winged horses and hippogriffs to everything in between; magical and mundane alike. This is also where specially approved pets are housed during the school term.
The inside of the barn is spacious in order for the creatures to feel most comfortable. Each has their own stall specially designed for them. Most animals within the barn or pastures are rated X, XX, or XXX. Some animals reside in stalls, others are in coops or cubbies, some are in the loft above your head, and some are just regular mundane barn creatures. Each area is magically expanded inside to give the creature(s) maximum comfort and enough room should they need it. Please remember your skill level, year, and familiarity around animals when visiting the Barn and Pastures. If you have special permission to have a non-traditional pet, this is where it will stay during the school term.

Kneazles, here he came!!!
Or… he would get there eventually since Paul was being such a slowpoke.
Without a word, he lagged slightly to allow his bestie to get a step or two ahead of him. Then, he placed a palm each on Paul’s shoulders in an attempt to accelerate his footsteps. “The kneazles don’t like to be kept waiting, Paul!” Idris might be a tad impatient to see the furry creatures but that didn’t mean he was mad at the other boy for delaying the visit to them. “I know you secretly love them. It’s okay to admit it since I promise not to tell a soul.” His voice was now full of laughter threatening to escape. “You do not get to be so good with Nes and not love him and his kind.” Yep, Idris Ace Grunt was all knowing when it came to this Hufflepuff!
“Come on. We’re almost to the Barn.” Cue stronger attempts at pushing!

What was with this boy? Paul thought. Could he not keep his hands to himself? He agreed to go for a walk and see the kneazles. But this pushing was overkill. "Okay, okay, I got it! You can keep your hands off me!" Paul said. It gave him the shivers being touched. He couldn't explain why, but pushing him off felt wrong, especially if it stopped his laughing. So Paul stopped to sigh, "Here, happy?" He had taken Idris' wrist to hold so they could run together over to the pastures which were now clear for them to see.
Paul's eyes then shifted with seeing that indeed there weren't many people if any in their sight. Love. "I..." Love... that was hard to talk about especially in front of Idris. "If that's what you want to think." He considered acknowledging it.
"Well... I don't know anyone who could hate them... hey, look, there's your babies." He pointed out the area where the seven Kneazles. Looking puffy and... cute as ever. Something he tried not to admit. "Doesn't Aphrodite look more chunky than usual?" Especially in the mid section. He looked to see Idris' reaction.

Was Idris in any way offended by Paul’s words? Not at all. Sometimes he thought the only topics he’d find insulting were harsh words about his family {and that included Nesquik) and about his personality. The latter, however, would only be hurtful if it came from Paul; Id cared very much about what Paul thought of him. Grinning, he dropped his hands then bounded back in step with the Hufflepuff. “As you wish.” But it wasn’t as though Paul decided to continue being a slowpoke for the next thing the Gryffindor knew was that he had seized his wrist and they were off at a run. It helped that Id had grown considerably over the past summer so his long legs helped him to keep up {though there was the threat of him overtaking Paul}.
BUT THEY WERE FINALLY HERE!!!
“It’s what I KNOW!” Laughing, because he was even giddier on happiness now that he was with the kneazles AND with Paul, he nudged the other boy before looking in the direction of ‘his’ babies. “Come on, let’s get closer.” As Paul was still holding his wrist, he tugged at their hands. All the while, Id was surveying Aphrodite. “She does look…” He halted abruptly, his face lighting up dramatically. “You don’t think…? Baby kneazles!”
