| | Care of Magical Creatures Nursery Not too far away from the CoMC professor's cottage stands a great stone building, which has been on these grounds for many years. Come inside, and you shall see many spacious crates, of all sorts and sizes, lining the walls. If you have a peek inside these crates, you'll be delighted to find the inhabitants are baby magical creatures – some are sweet, cute and even ugly 
If you want to care for these precious creatures, have a look beside the door to find shelves stocked with many supplies, like dragonhide gloves, goggles, brushes, clean rags and everything else you might need.
Just outside the back door of the stone building is the designated closed-in play area for your baby to roam around in the warm sun. Beware of any aiborne and/or land roaming predators that might want to snatch the baby away from you – which is why it is very important that you always look after the young creature in your care. Also, when you are done, be sure to properly close all crates and pens, and make sure you return the supplies to their proper place. If you need any other tools, take a look in the Food & Tool Shed.
Come on in and let your creature get to know you.
If you need any help or sense a problem, go and get Professor Saylen. Please treat these wonderful creatures with respect, or you will know the wrath of the Professor.

Gelato!? Ellie's eyes lit up. "Of course." GRIN. She liked chocolate. And she needed to try gelato. So chocolate gelato sounded excellent. He smiled, widely, "I'll take care of it, yes, I know it's not Phineas, but close enough," unless this one also managed to find unwanted keys of some sort, which he'll find incredibly strange. If he ever found this creature with a key that looks almost exactly like the one Phineas used to find, then...well, yes, Treyen will most likely freak out.
And then...that smile...that's the smile he hadn't seen in a very long time, and one he truly loved. Or, er, liked. Yes, liked to see, not loved. "You should smile more often," he said, as he remembered how Kurumi had told him something similar on the train. "Come on, let's head back to the castle," he said, gesturing towards the exit. He didn't even chance taking her hand like at the start of term, the hug was more than enough today.

Ellie's mood had changed so drastically from just a few minutes ago, that she would probably laugh at herself if she thought about it. And, of course, she'd attribute her good mood to Treyen. She wouldn't have gotten anywhere if without talking to him.
Her smile would've widened, if possible after that comment. She knew it was true. Actually, if everyone smiled more often the world would probably be much happier. And she was going to make it a point to smile more. To do more things that made her happy, that made her genuinely smile. No more fake smiles, she'd decided.
She gave the Niffler a departing look and walked out of the Nursery.
Chocolate time. BEAM.

Selina walked into the nursery. There was so much around her at Hogwarts she was not sure if she would ever see it all. The grounds were huge and it seemed Selina spent so much time down on the Pitch that the rest of her exploring seemed to halt at the hilt of the broom.
But today was different. She made sure that she would spend one Saturday down on the Grounds exploring everything, but the pitch. So she walked into the nursery and say a plethora of creatures.
She drew out her sketch pad and pencils. Sitting down by a small baby mooncalf. She looked no more than a few months old. So she began her sketch.

Kurumi loved magical creatures, but sometimes it was nice to get back in touch with those of the nonmagical variety - especially when they were adorable baby rabbits! Holding the little guy like he was a baby along with a few pieces of hay in her left hand, Kurumi brought the baby rabbit out into the brisk autumn turning into winter air and saw Selina sitting down with a sketch pad. " Hey Selina," she waved as she approached her from the back. Oh, perhaps she should have been a little more subtle. Kurumi hoped she hadn't surprised her too much that she ruined whatever it was she was working on.

She threw up the pencil in her hand and the sketch book was used as a shield. "Whose there?" Selina said defensively ready to attack.
But when she saw it was Kurumi she put down her "shield" and laughed. "Sorry, thought you were someone else."

But when she saw it was Kurumi she put down her "shield" and laughed. "Sorry, thought you were someone else." Well, at least Selina didn't try to throw the pencil at her. That could have put Mr. Baby Bunny in danger. " And whoever that someone was was going to attack you?" Kurumi said with a raised eyebrow. " Not sure it would have made much good of a shield to be honest." Unless it was one of those enchanted books Kurumi had read about, but that seemed rather unlikely.
In the brief moments that Selina had used the book as a shield, Kurumi had been able to catch a glimpse of what she had been working on. " Hey, you are a very talented artist," Kurumi chirped wanting to clap her hands but, seeing as she was holding a baby bunny, that was not a good idea.

Selina blushed at Kurumi's acknowledgement of her make shift shield. "Well it would be better than nothing!" Selina jokingly protested. Moving on she said, "And no one... Elektra and Violet. They are not too pleased with what I did at Hogsemeade last weekend. I mean we are all still talking, but I know that they are going to attack me at one point for my stupidity."
When she commented on the drawing Selina blushed, "Thanks. I used to draw when my parents weren't home, which was a lot, and I couldn't ride my broom." She had actually been drawing quite a lot this year. In fact she had even drawn a picture of Kurumi that she had given to Adam to remember her by, but she would keep that to herself.

She had actually been drawing quite a lot this year. In fact she had even drawn a picture of Kurumi that she had given to Adam to remember her by, but she would keep that to herself. " Friend drama?" Kurumi asked taking a seat on the grass and letting the little bunny hop around a bit. " There seems to be lots of that going around these days," she sighed. Thankfully, nothing had happened to her recently. The whole incident in the kitchen seemed to be behind everyone and most of the drama with Adam seemed to be over. Well, until the end of the term anyway. After that, Kurumi had no idea what was coming next, but she preferred to just remain ignorant of that for now. She had enough to worry about as it was.
" I've never been much of an artist, well, painting I mean. The best I can do are stick figures," she laughed. " You might get to see a few of those once Muggle Studies starts up." She had drawn several on parchment last year in her notes that Professor Zookara and then used to teach his class. These included Kurumi's stick figure drawing of a baseball field and all it's players. Kurumi frowned a bit when Selina mentioned her parents were not home a lot. Was that why she was so fiery and independent? Much more than Kurumi was, that's for sure. " If, if you don't mind me asking," Kurumi said shyly as she offered the bunny a piece of hay. " Why weren't your parents around much?"

"Why weren't your parents around much?" "Yeah, a bit of friend drama. But we are so close that it doesn't hurt our friendship, which I am thankful for. I guess they are a little made because I have a knack for trouble and I'm a little to curious for my own good. But hey, can you blame me?" Maybe the incident in the library after hours was not the best. And perhaps her obsession with uncovering who Gervik was was not heathy. And perhaps she should not have allowed him to approach her in Hog's Head. But details.
Selina laughed when Kurumi talked about Muggle Studies. "I am looking forward to it. But promise I'll get to see at least one?"
When she asked about her parents Selina shrugged, "My Dad's a Professional Quidditch player. He's on tour a lot when the session is going on and he also goes to practice a lot. It's not like he doesn't love me, it's just the way it is.
"Same thing with my Mom. She is head of the Education Reform in the Ministry. She is always working and she spent three years in Australia away from me and my Da for a while. But she is only doing it so I have the best education possible.
"I had my Aunt Jennette though. We are really close. But I guess thinking about it I was alone a lot. Taught me how to fend for myself. Never been coddled so never had the need for it. I mean sure they give me a lot of love, especially my Dad. But that was just the way things are."

" Well, except cats...but I think that is just an expression." Kurumi scratched her head for a moment. That was something that her father had said when she came asking him questions about why her mother feared and hated magic. He hadn't been serious, had he? After everything she had uncovered recently, she now was getting the feeling that she was perhaps getting in a bit over her head. " The question is sometimes more important than the answer," she said nodding. " I've probably been too curious for my own good as of late as well."
" I am sure you will have the chance," Kurumi nodded in regards to the stick figures. " Professor Zookara's class always seem to provide me with something to draw." And draw poorly.
Kurumi listened as Selina described what her family was like. She was glad that her parents provided a warm and loving home for her, but it was sad that they were so wrapped up in their work. Still, Selina did admire her father enough to want to follow in his footsteps, so that was saying something. " Your father is a professional Quidditch player?!" Kurumi chirped this time clapping her hands together as the bunny hopped about in front of her. " No wonder you are so fascinated by the sport. I have been doing some reading about it, but I am not sure Quidditch and I are destined to ever really meet. Kendo is more my field." On the ground and whacking things with a bamboo sword - especially if the thing being whacked was one of her brothers.

In regards to her father Selina laughed, "You didn't know that? He plays Chaser for the Falcons. In fact my whole family plays Quidditch minus my Mom. Well, I guess my whole Dad's side of the family. Except he is the only one who plays Professional minus my cousin. But we all play. In fact every female on my Dad's side of the family, which in this generation is only me- ten older male cousins and me, has been the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain. So I hope to follow in their footsteps."

Maybe it was her delicate features and soft nature? The only form of dance she had ever done was traditional Japanese fan dances, but that was something entirely different all together. " Not exactly," Kurumi said shaking her head. " Some poets would call it a dance I suppose. Kendo is a form of Japanese sword fighting. My home in Japan is actually part of a dojo, um, a school for training kendo. I've grown up around it and always spar with my older brothers."
Kurumi shook her head. " I didn't! We haven't ever really gotten the chance to talk like we are, you know, about our families and whatnot," Kurumi smiled. Better late than never, right? " That's great that your family has such a legacy." Kurumi wasn't really sure what her father's legacy was anymore. After all, she had only just found out that there never was a student named Charles Hollingberry to have called the Gryffindor Tower his home. It was still all very confusing. " I am sure you will make them proud. I saw your name on the sign up sheet. Do you know when the results will be posted?"

"I guess that is true. And it's a lot to live up to. Everyone in my family is expecting it from me. I just hope I don't let them down. And no not sure yet."
"Enough about me. What about your family?"

"Enough about me. What about your family?" " More like I belly flopped into it," Kurumi sighed. She had had nightmares about frosting and cupcakes for several days after that. Almost put her off baking cookies, almost.
" My family?" Kurumi asked as her violet eyes widened. Kurumi wasn't even sure how to describe her family now. Best to just start with the basics. " Well, my father is a pureblood and works for the Japanese Ministry as the Head of International Magical Cooperation although he used to work for the British Ministry," under a different name. " My mother is non-magical and used to be a shrine maiden, but now helps run the kendo school. I have three older brothers who have all already left Hogwarts and we have a dog. A shiba dog named Hikari."

"What's a shrine maiden? I'm not really sure, not to be niave."

"What's a shrine maiden? I'm not really sure, not to be niave." Kurumi shook her head. Selina was anything but naive. Most people in her town were unfamiliar with what a shrine maiden was exactly, although everyone could recognize them because of their white and red robes. " A shrine maiden, or as we all them miko, is a virgin sanctified to a deity who serves at Shinto shrines. My mother helped with shrine functions, performed ceremonial dances, and offered omikuji fortune telling." Kurumi laughed. " You know, for how much my mother hates magic, she did perform divination by reading fire when she was a maiden. Guess she was a lot closer to magic than she realized."

Selina smiled at Kurumi's explanation with the Shine maiden. Her culture was fasinating and helped her understand more about Kurumi. But when she mentioned her mother hated magic Selina stopped, "Your Mom hated magic?"

" Hated isn't the right word...she hates it," Kurumi sighed looking down at the bunny who was now enjoying chewing on a clover. " She never says why, but she is afraid of it...so much to the point that there are no wands at the house." Kurumi picked up the rabbit and set it down in her lap. " Do you remember a while back when I told you that I would tell you about what I was researching later? Well, that's what I am trying to do figure out. What happened that my mother won't even trust her own children with magic."

But Selina knew the danger of knowledge. She had recently found out that she was a seer. All if her visions were scary because she knew what was coming next. Maybe the answers Kurumi were looking for would give her closer. But usually knowledge only gave unrest.
"This research thing sounds great Kurumi, but be careful. Sometimes the truth is dangerous."

Hogwarts RPG Name: JP Santos Third Year | For anyone that wants to RP
Walking into the nursery JP hoped to find his two new little friends here waiting for him.
Now spotting them he walked over to the tiny Niffler and the baby Phoenix that stared at him with affection.
"Hello there. How are you two feeling today." Petting both of them he walked over to the section designated for them to play around in with both animals by his side. He grabbed a clean rag to clean of the little Niffler.
"Here we are then. Come here Ralphie!" JP wrestled the little niffler to try and clean him while the little phoenix stared at both of them inquisitively.

"This research thing sounds great Kurumi, but be careful. Sometimes the truth is dangerous." " No, my mother is 100% non-magical," Kurumi said shaking her head. "My father is a pureblood but...he had to keep everything a secret..." Kurumi fell back onto the grass and looked up at the sky. " I just found out that there never was a man name Charles Hollingberry at the Ministry of Magic. There was a person named Charles Guant however." She leaned over on her side. " That is my father's real name...he had to change it for some reason and...well...I just met a woman who thinks my father is dead."
Not to mention that her father was registered as a Metamorphagus.

Not to mention that her father was registered as a Metamorphagus. The more Kurumi talked the more shocked she began to become. Kurumi was a Guant, so she was in turn related to Voldermort and... "You're related to Elektra." Selina stopped herself. She knew that Kurumi probably did not know Elektra, but she was one of her best friends. The little Slytherin was a direct descendent of the Guants. She even possessed certain... abilities that came with the title.
"But how can that be?"

"But how can that be?" " Your Slytherin friend?" Kurumi asked. She had met the girl once, perhaps twice, but they had never talked in great length.
" I don't know," Kurumi frowned now sitting back up and clutching her knees to her chest. " Whatever it is, it was bad. I mean, it looks like my father faked his own death...I've...I've been too afraid to look through old newspapers and Daily Prophets. My father faking his death and my mother being afraid of magic...there has to be a connection. Not to mention that he even changed his name..." The fragile Gryffindor was so overwhelmed with emotion now that she had lost control over them and her hair began turning a deep skuy blue color.

The fragile Gryffindor was so overwhelmed with emotion now that she had lost control over them and her hair began turning a deep skuy blue color. Selina nodded at Kurumi's inquiry, "Yeah, the one who is always with me and the blonde. She's a Guant. Her whole Dad's side of the family is. They've been in Slytherin for generations." That was weird. Why would they be related. So few descendents came from that line, she was sure Elektra was the only one.
When Kurumi went into detail her whole face deflated. So Selina did whatever she could to make her friend feel better, she wrapped her arm around her and hugged her. Sometimes the best medicine was just a hug. When she pulled away Selina said, "Look, if you're too afraid to do it by yourself, I can be there for you. This is something you are going to have to do. Sure the truth is dangerous, but you seem to need to know."
