| | The Magical Creature Hospital In the grounds, just past the Herbology greenhouses on the edge of the forest, is nestled the Magical Creature hospital. There is a small stone building housing the animals that can’t be left outside, as well as various sized pens to house the larger outdoor animals. The pens are nearly full of recuperating animals, and the building houses a various assortment of ailing creatures from owls to pygmy puffs.
Bored and looking for something to do, or want to earn some extra house points? There are always sick and injured creatures here at the hospital, and I’m sure I could use the help! And if you have an injured pet you are most welcome to bring it here and let me have a look at it. There are also lots of animals up for adoption that need owners!
So you are welcome to wander around and just look, or if you would like something to do just let me know. The animals here can get pretty lonely and I can’t spend time with all of them. Our beautiful Silmaril and Caramel are still here, along with all the other old timers. Just be wary of the Hippogriffs and stay away from the baby dragon, he has a cold and is shooting fire off every time he sneezes… |

Only the Clabbert I borrowed from the Magical Menagerie for the latest lesson. It's been pretty quiet on that front, which is both a good and a bad thing. |

Meghan looked at it. "Oh why is that a good and bad thing?" she said curiously. They were interesting looking creatures. "I mean i don't remember you mentioning anything about that in class the other day."

A white and gold unicorn snorted.
"Oh wow!" Mel whispered.
"She looks exactly like Star, except she's black." Mel said to Jess.
Jess rolled her eyes.
"What? Don't I have the freedom to say 'She looks like my horse'?"

"Looks like they're having a blast!" she said.

"Ok," said Heshasa with a smile. Slowly she sank under, reappearing a few seconds later."I'll have to change out of these cloths when I'm done, hehe." Heshasa looked over at the horses swimming around each other nearby,"Yeah they look like they're havin fun."

Well it's great that we aren't getting in lots of hurt animals, but it also means it's pretty quiet. Actually, we do have a rather big event coming up though, a birth should happen pretty soon. Quote:

Sure, just look around and see if you find one you like. |

Heshasa looked at her watch hoping it still worked since she ahd forgotten to take it off before she went in the water. Heshasa grabbed Liberty's lead line and lead her out of the water. "I think we should go Athena. Its starting to get late." Grabbing Liberty's saddle Heshasa swung it up on her back and fastened it on. Liberty snorted a bit trying to get back to the water. "Not now girl I'll take you again soon." Heshasa put her foot in the stirrup and swung herself up with a grunt. She was slipping a bit and did not want to fall off. Taking out her wand Heshasa dried the spot where she was until it was confortable. Liberty spun in circles then took off. Heshasa felt the wind start drying her hair, smiling Heshasa flew in circles waiting for Athena.

| Loves the Black Dog | Ninja Pirate...BEWARE! | High Queen of Narnia | GIRAFFE- made you look! Athena nodded, "Sounds like a good idea," she said, getting out of the water. She gave a small whistle, and Caramel waded over, stopping right in front of Athena. "Good girl!" she crooned. Taking out her wand, she used a spell to dry the area on which the saddle would sit. Quickly, Athena tacked up Caramel the rest of the way, talking to her the whole time. Soon, Athena mounted up, wincing as her wet clothes dripped. "Looks like we will need to change she said with a smile. Then, she urged Caramel to fly, meeting Heshasa and Liberty up in the air. "Okay, off we go!" Athena said, guiding Caramel toward the far shore, where the Hospital was located.

Heshasa nodded and urged Liberty upwards back towards the castle. Once back over the castle Heshasa touched down and cantered around in circles. "I don't think you need to be cooled off Liberty but I will dry you off." Heshasa led Liberty over to the paddock and tied her up using a spell to dry her off completly. Wiping off her saddle Heshasa took her bridel out and hung both up."That was a good work-out," said Heshasa turning to Athena. "I'll talk to you later then?" said Heshasa brushing Liberty off. Heshasa led Liberty back to her stall seeing it was filthy again. "Liberty I just cleaned this," said Heshasa into a fake accusing voice. Rolling up her pant legs Heshasa ran and got the wheel barrow, rake, and pitchfork.
Heshasa began to rake everything into one pile. Grabbing the pitchfork Heshasa scooped everything into the wheel barrow. Tying Liberty up Heshasa walked away to put everything in the compost pile. Coming back Heshasa grabbed a scrubbing brush and a bucket. Filing the bucket with water and soap Heshasa came back to the stall to see Liberty waiting patiently. Vanishing the little water and hay that was left Heshasa began to scrub out both buckets until the shone. Heshasa came back to the door and and pulled out a gold name plate that said,"Liberty." Fastening it to the door with a couple touches of her wand Heshasa made sure it was stable and scrubbed it until it was very shiny. Smiling in a satisfied way Heshasa cleaned the walls with a bit of sand paper she had brought with her and enlarged. Running back to get the wheel barrow Heshasa filled it with straw and came back laying it on the floor evenly while Liberty watched with intrest. Putting the wheel barrow away Heshasa grabbed a bucket of grain and fileld Liberty's bucket with water. Dumping the grain in the container and hanging up the bucket of water Heshasa untied Liberty and led her into the stall. Taking off the lead line Heshasa gave Liberty a treat and patted her neck backing out she closed the door.
Panting slightly and still dripping from her swim Heshasa came up to Professor Dainsie."Professor is there anything elee you need done? Oh and how is the threstral doing?"

It's doing quite well, actually I'm sure it would like some fresh air... how would you like to put a halter on her and lead her around for a little bit? She laughed lightly.
If your worried about looking strange holding a lead and nothing else, you can put the blanket she arrived in on her if you wish.

Firicle walked into the magical creature hospital and looked around. She had never been her but she felt like seeing what it was like and she wanted to help. So she walked up to Professor Dainsie.
''Escuse me Prodessor, is there something that i could do to help??''

Wiping off her saddle Heshasa took her bridel out and hung both up."That was a good work-out," said Heshasa turning to Athena. "I'll talk to you later then?" said Heshasa brushing Liberty off. Athena rode beside Heshasa, then landed down beside her. Dismounting, she patted Caramel on the neck, praising her for behaving nicely. Athena smiled at Heshasa. "It was a good workout! Okay, I'll see you!" she said, waving as they walked away.
Leading Caramel back over near her pen, Athena tied her up and grabbed a cloth and the brushes. She set them down and got to work on Caramel's wet fur. She used a sweat scraper to first get rid of most of the excess water. Then, using the cloth, she dried Caramel the rest of the way. Smiling at her work, Athena grabbed one of the brushes and groomed Caramel. Finally finished, Athena led Caramel into the large pen with other Winged horses. Athena then grabbed a large wheelbarrow and went over to the feed room, grabbing the right amount of hay for each horse. She also grabbed their feed as well. Coming over, Athena laughed as the horses al crowded close to the gate, knowing their feed was coming. She first tossed in the hay, then dumped the proper amount of feed in a bin for the right horse. When she came to Caramel's bin, she put in the feed, then placed a treat on the top. Caramel nickered and nudged her playfully before taking a mouthful of the food.
Athena then wheeled the wheel barrow over to Silmaril's pen. She put the hay in the hay net, then dumped the feed into her bin. Silmaril gave Athena a small glare, then nuzzled Athena's hand as if saying 'you left me, but I forgive you!' Athena smiled. "Oh, C'mon! I wasn't gone that long!" she said with a laugh. Once she was finished with the mare, she went over to where Professor Dainsie was. "Hey Professor!" she said cheerfully. "Is there anything that I can help out with?" she asked with a smile.

If your worried about looking strange holding a lead and nothing else, you can put the blanket she arrived in on her if you wish. Heshasa smiled widley for she loved visiting the threstral and being able to lead her around would be a treat. Heshasa grabbed a halter and hurried off to the back stalls.
Once she came to the threstral's stall Heshasa opened the gate catiously. Closing it behind her Heshasa looked into the threstral's dragonish face. Sitcking out her hand to she could smell her. The threstral walked catiously up to her outstreched hand and sniffed it. Heshasa moved forward a bit so she could slip the halter on. The halter slid on easily to her head, clipping the lead line on Heshasa lead her back through the door. Heshasa realized she might look funny leading nothing but she didn't care, Heshasa wanted to be able to see her. Heshasa led the threstral outside to the round pen.
Once outside in the bright sunlight Heshasa led the threstral in smooth cirlcles. Heshasa could see every muscle and bone working and the threstral walked along. She streched her large reptilian wings to their full span like a human would stretch their legs. Heshasa brought her up to a faster pace walk not knowing if she could trot her. The threstral took to the walk easily and snorted at the other horses in the nearby paddock.
Heshasa did not know if she was getting any weird loks from anyone because she was enjoying herself far to much. The threstral was magnificent, her jet black hair glinted in the sun and her white eyes stared around.
After about fifteen minutes of walking Heshasa brought her in to get a closer look at her. Her white eyes glinted along with ehr black hair and her dragonish face was amazing. Heshasa patted her neck careful not to feel like a fly and let ehr out again for a few more rounds.
After about another ten minutes Heshasa brought her in again to cool off. Heshasa fanned her off not sure if she could clean her with the tools. Taking a rag otu of ehr back pocket Heshasa wiped her down to get most of the sweat off. Smiling Heshasa led her back through the hospital this time she thought she noticed a few odd looks but they were well hidden. Leading her back to her stall Heshasa patted her neck again and whispered in her ear,"You're so magnificant." Unhooking her halter Heshasa backed out and closed the door behind her. Smiling in a satisfied way her took one last look at the threstral and with a soft,"Goodbye." Heshasa made her way to the front of the hospital.
Heshasa came up to the front where most of the students were. "All done Professor. And if I do say so myself that threstral is magnificant. She's come a long way since she arrived here," said Heshasa walking up to Professor Dainsie. "Now if you'll excuse me I think before I do anymore work I should change." Heshasa hurried off across the lawns towards her dorm where she could hang up ehr wet cloths and change into dry ones.

Mel sighed.
"Proffeser, can I ride one of the horses?" Mel pointed to a striking black one.
"She reminds me a lot of my own horse, Star."

Well being a new face, you'll have to tell me how experienced you are. Horses can be dangerous sometimes, and I can't just give my permission to everyone that asks, it's not safe.

Firicle noticed the teacher had turned her attention to someone else. She might not have heard her, thats it.
''Excuse me Professor, I would like to help... is there something i can do??'' She said a little louder this time hoping the teacher would hear her.

g_g went to the Unicors' pen. "This place is filthy! Not for a beautiful animal to live in!" she said. The Unicorns approached her. "Accio broom!" she said then she said. "Accio dustpan!" she then went inside the pen and started tydying up. "There!" she said successfully. "Now for your food......" she said.

Yes! I need as many people as I can get! We have a serious gnome problem and we need to get rid of them as soon as possible. It's time for a good 'ol fashioned de-gnoming! Let's go! She took off through the shrubs between the winged horse pens looking for her next victim. |
