Professor Williamson finished putting the last little spell on the enclosure containing more than a dozen happy, humming pygmy puffs of every color before stalking over to the doors of the barn. He threw them open with a grin, shivered a bit as the nippy air started to filter in, and then moved back inside where it was warm.
The man took a seat on one of the bales of hay scattered in a semi-circle near the pygmy puff enclosure and nodded to the students who were filtering in. "If you have a pygmy puff, feel free to pick out your own hay bale and create a name card for you and your puff. If you don't have a pet puff already, grab one out of that corral over there and settle down. Feel free to name it, make a name card, pet it, get to to know it, all that."
He picked up his own pygmy puff for the day, a lime green one named Nerf, and started petting it til it purred. Hehehee. Hopefully the class would enjoy this low-key lesson a bit more than the ah, last eventful one.
Oh yes, and he named a name card for himself too! Williamson flicked his wand at the stack of scrap parchments in the corner and caused one to decorate itself for him and Nerf.

"Hmm, you did a great job with that, so far, especially since it is a difficult question." He nodded and Nerf let out a squeak as he bounced on the tall man's head. "Good job though! I wonder, if you were to use magic to test a pygmy puff's abilities, would your results would be any different?" Not that he was recommending they do that....
William let out a loud chortle at how Alyssa had gone about crossing 'snot' off her list of puff foods. "Wow, Alyssa, that has to be the first useful sneeze I've ever seen!" He continued chuckling as he adjusted Nerf on his head, who apparently also wanted to go lick Alyssa's nostrils for any leftovers. "Nice job with that." Heh.
"Why it's in the spring time, of course!" Will answered Lewis very quickly. Hear that, pygmy puffs? You still had MONTHS of winter left! "I would assume that right now they're just... warming up their vocal cords or something." Or whatever it was pygmy puffs used to make their noises.
SPOILER!!: Anna Banana and iceblossom22
He pulled Nerf down from his head and raised a brow at the two girls testing out the vegetables on their pygmy puffs. That one was awfully attached to the girl's hair for some reason... weird. Williamson had never seen one do that before.
"Let us know when---" oh, they were starting! William cleared his throat and adopted a tone similar to a National Geographic narrator. "Class, let's all quietly watch as Sierra Greingoth attempts to coax a nesting pygmy puff off the head of her classmate, Elise Fairfield. Watch as the young Slytherin waves a leaf of lettuce near the pygmy puff's suspected mouth, but not close enough that the creature could just snatch it out of her hand. Will it take the bait?"
He grinned at the class and added, "Last call for any other results! Pass in your parchments and then we'll re-arrange this barn a bit for the activities portion of class!"
He was really looking forward to that bit. Heh.
Minerva thought about this for a bit and then put her hand up. "Professor what type of spells would you try? Wouldn't you be afraid to do something that might scare or harm the little things?"

Wait...
What?!
He was announcing this to the whole class?! Sierra drew back on the lettuce and turned her head sharply in WWW's direction. She could have done without the loud introduction. Then again, if this worked out, it was a great way to receive all the glory. So for that, she grinned then turned back to the Pygmy Puff.

Nodding stiffly, she winced in pain as it yanked on her head yet again. OUCH! Just as Sierra started inching the lettuce towards her hair, WWW decided to narrate her disaster to the whole class. Joy. Now this'd be a classwide dilemma. Shooting a deathly glare at him for just a second, she turned her gaze back to the lettuce. Inching closer and closer towards the pygmy puff and... She jerked it away. Then moved it close again. Sierra sure was smart.
Honey the Pygmy Puff was perfectly content to stay in its nest. Look, the next matched her fluff-fur perfectly. See, you other lame pygmies? I git the best nest here! Oooooh! Look, that human with the black nest on her head was giving her food too! Best day ever! Eyeing the food as it inched towards her, she narrowed her eyes slightly as it was jerked away. Oh, look. It's back. Super long tongue even for a female pygmy puff moving outwards, it wrapped itself around the top half of the leaf, snapped it and pulled it back in. Yummy. Do you perhaps have more, human girl?
SQUEAK!
Sierra wasn't expecting the Pygmy Puff to attack the lettuce with its tongue. She jerked the lettuce back just in time to manage to keep half of it while the Pygmy Puff took the rest. "Theory works," she said out loud, "but it's still in her hair." She pushed herself out of her seat then walked a good row over, positioned herself in a new seat so the creature could properly see the lettuce. "You want it, you come and get it."
The Pygmy Puff couldn't understand her words, of course, but it would have to have an intelligence less than that of a flobberworms not to understand it had to come and get the rest of the lettuce.

Tayla giggled a little as she watched Sierra and the girl named Elise 'battling' with the pygmy puff. She watched and wondered if there was anything she could do to help, but thought Sierra could probably handle it.
She went up to the professor and handed in the list she and her partner had made, then went back to her post and waited for Professor Williamson's next instructions.

"Keep it up now, Greingoth, you're almost there," Williamson encouraged, half in his narrator voice and half in his usual teacher voice. He kept an eye on them as he collected a few more parchments and then answered Minerva's question.

"Good... question," Willy answered, rubbing at his chin thoughtfully, "but I'll admit that I'm not sure how to respond." Heh. "You wouldn't want to scare them, no, but I'm sure a simple levitating charm wouldn't be too bad. Or maybe something that tickles them, like rictumsepra." Simple stuff. "I'd recommend asking Professor Schirmer for more ideas."
Yeah, spells were not his strong suit. Creatures were, and speaking of creatures, it was high time his class moved on!
------------------------------------------------
"All right, guys, while we let Sierra and Elise figure out that situation over there," he gestured toward the nest mess that was Elise's head, "we're going to start pygmy puff bowling."
Yes, that was right: pygmy puff bowling. "Now then, over there," he gestured over his shoulder with his thumb to a section of the barn they hadn't yet explored, "I've sent up a small bowling alley for you and your puffs to try. The catch is: I have no bowling balls. The BALLS are going to be YOUR pygmy puffs!"
Williamson beamed at them proudly, as if this idea was just SO genius. Heh. "Don't worry about hurting them; I'm about as big an animal rights activist as you can find." Totally true. "AND I've charmed the floor to be squishy soft, like a carpet made of moss. Same goes for the bowling pins." The pins actually felt more like stiff mattresses or foam pillows than anything.
"Your puffs will enjoy rolling down the lane, trust me, I've already tested it out with Nacho." William plucked the puff down from his head and moved over to the area where about five bowling lanes were set up. "Pair up with a few people and see how good you can do. Make sure to explain to your pygmy puff what's going on, so that they can help you win. Puffs are good at controlling their rolls, and if you're nicer to them, you just might have a better chance of getting a strike."
He smiled around at them all and waited for the blank stares to subside. "Any questions? If not, you may begin!" And maybe then he'd go help the nesting head puff girl thing.

They were using their pygmy puffs as bowling balls? Wasn't this like animal cruelty or something? ZOMG. She snuggled her little fluffball closer to her chest, staring down at it, sadly. Poor little thing had no idea what was coming. It was about to be rolled into large objects to see if they'd fall down just for fun. Even if the pins and the floor was charmed, Brooke still didn't like this. There HAD to be some sort of magical creature rights or something. This was just sad.
But.. seeing as she didn't want to fail Care of Magical Creatures, nor did she want to speak out against everyone else, she sighed, snuggled the puff closer, and glanced around the room, hoping to find a partner in this mess of students.

Alyssa wasn't comfortable with using the Pygmy Puffs as bowling balls but she figured that the Professor knew animals better than they did, so she just did what he asked. She looked around for someone to partner with, and saw somebody looking for a partner. She walked up to the girl. "Can I partner up with you? I'm not sure that we have met before. My name is Alyssa" Alyssa smiled sticking out her hand to shake the other girl's

Brooklyn stroked the fur of the little puff as her eyes scanned the room, looking for anyone who didn't seem previously engaged. And of course, this task was much harder than it seemed. So, the girl sighed, and started to walk around the room, looking for just about anyone. And she'd take anyone- even a first year. Sigh. She paused after a moment deciding she should just stop moving and use her eyes instead. The girl was tall enough to see over a good number of heads anyway.
Just as she was about to start moving again, a younger girl approached. Thank Merlin! She wouldn't have to do this alone. A smile appeared on the older girl's lips as she nodded. "Of course! It'll be.. fun." Y'know.. other than having to throw pygmies around. It'd be fun, right? Right? Hopefully..
Again, the blond smiled. "I don't believe we have either-" Shifting the pygmy puff onto one arm, the girl extended the other. "-And i'm Brooklyn. It's nice to meet you." Right. Now.. onto more important things. Unless- Someone else wanted to join them? Eh. For now she was cool with just one partner. But if it came up, she'd be happy with more.
With a gesture that clearly meant 'follow me', Brooklyn started walking over toward the bowling alley section, but stopped for a brief moment to see if her partner was following.

"Nice to meet you too Brooklyn. Lead the way."Alyssa told the older girl as she made her way to the bowling part of the barnyard. As she followed behind her, Alyssa stroked Nerfball and as she did, she whispered to him/her.
"Nerfball, we are going to be playing a game in a couple of minutes. I am going to be rolling you on the ground and you have to try to hit the those things that are going to be standing where you are headed. I know that you are really good at doing that. So if you could do that for me today, I'll be so grateful. If you can knock all of them down at once, I'll let you stick your tongue up my nose for as long as you want. Deal?" Alyssa really hoped that her Pygmy Puff understood what she was telling him/her or this game was going to end with her not scoring any points for her team.

Having dismissed herself for a few minutes to attempt to calm down Momotaro II, Kurumi returned to the area and heard about their...rather barbaric sounding activity. Bowling with pygmy puffs? Kurumi didn't care that Professor Williamson had used enchantments on the floor and the pins. Hurtling an innocent pygmy puff for sport seemed like a horrible thing...and her expression showed it.
SQUEEK? SQUEEK SQUEE SQUEEEK!?
Kurumi glanced down at Momotaro II, who sat resting in her hands, and sighed. Why was he still squeaking? Hadn't her pep talk about waiting for the right pygmy puff to come along and not settling for just any ball of fluff worked? Until she realized that his big doe eyes were looking at her questioningly as opposed to...lustfully?
"Oh, um, I suppose you are wondering what is going on..." she murmured to the pygmy puff as she watched everyone shuffling around. How was she supposed to explain to this little guy that she was going to throw him down a lane at pins? That did not seem like something that would go over well. "Um...we are going to play a game. One where you get to roll around all you want. All I ask is that you knock over some pins."
SQUEEEE?
Why pins? At least, that seemed to be what he was asking her with his squeaking. "Well, that is part of the game as well. You see, we call it bowling and the goal is to knock over as many pins as possible."
SQUEEEE SQUEEK SQUEE?
"No, it won't hurt," Kurumi said, reassuring her pygmy puff. "Professor Williamson placed all sorts of enchantments on everything to make sure of that." Momotaro II seemed to like this and showed so by bouncing in her hands. Well, as long as he didn't have any more questions...Kurumi supposed it would be alright to give this a go. "We need to find some people to team up with first."
MEEEEEEEEP!!!
Clearly, Kurumi had said the wrong thing. Or had it been the right thing?

"Hey, Alyssa,'' Jory called going up to Alyssa and the others. "Mind if I join you guys, please? I've already explained what need to be done to Furball.''
Selena doesn't join teams. People join her EPIC team. Who wants in?!!?!? :D
Selena liked bowling. Well. She never tried bowling but she was pretty sure she would like it. Because there were stuff you had to hit and knock over. Selena plucked Kent off of her head and squished him just slightly. "Hiya KENT. Remember, you are KING of all Pygmy Puffs. So don't lose. And remember that you're supposed to hit the pins like a GOOD puff. So if we win, I'll let you eat snot and not try to get you to eat chocolate." For a week. But that was it because Selena didn't like Kent's snot-eating. It was gross.
On that note... Bowling time. With people. Who would join her awesometastical team. "Who wants to join Team AWESOMETASTICAL Pygmy Puff?!" Because obviously everyone did. Yuuuuuuuuuup. Selena was COOL like that.
Just like Kent. And Clarke.

Elise sighed, sick of waiting for Honey to get itself out of her head. If it wouldn't hurt her, she'd probably have forced it out by now! Only seeing the puff's tongue lash out for a split second, the next thing she knew, Sierra was holding half a leaf of lettuce.
Watching Sierra get up and walk away, Elise's eyes widened. Was she just... GIVING UP?! But Elise wanted to play the puff games! Hearing her saying something about going to get the lettuce, Elise shook her head in an attempt to get it off. Its claws just tightened their grip on her hair. Painful.
Honey thought that they were just being funny. Yay! Funny people with nests on their heads. FluffFluffFluff! Oh, the black nest girl was walking away? What about her food?! She was dangling it, SO FAR AWAY! Sticking out her tongue as far as it could go, Honey tried to grab the lettuce. Maybe it was a game! That's fun! Not being able to reach, Honey did the puff equivalent of a shrug, shuddering slightly and cozy-ing itself into its new nest. She wasn't hungry anyway.
*Professor how many in a team?* Can we start bowling?

He was gonna roll! Rolly polly pygmy puff! Rolling was like one of the best things EVER!!! Now he wasn't just doing it for plain amusement - although that still was sort of the case - but rolling for the benefit of OTHERS! How many pygmy puffs could say THAT?
Bouncing like rubber ball, Momotaro II jumped out of Kurumi's hands and onto the ground and began to rooooooooooooooooooooooll
"Momotaro II! Not yet!" Kurumi squeaked as she chased after the pygmy puff, crawling on the ground on all fours. Merlin, hopefully the litte guy didn't go and do himself an injury before they even began to bowl! As she crawled after the creature, Kurumi couldn't help but admire just how quickly the little guy moved. With THAT much forward momentum, it seemed like it wouldn't be too much a problem knocking over some pins.
Rolling rolling rolling....rolling rolling rolling! Oh?! What's this?! A friend!? Did he want to roll with him?!
Kurumi came to a stop only when her head slammed into something...or someone as the case turned out to be. "Oh...hey Selina," she smiled, looking up at the Slytherin prefect and taking notice that Momotaro II seemed to, erm, want to be friends with her pygmy puff.

"Good... question," Willy answered, rubbing at his chin thoughtfully, "but I'll admit that I'm not sure how to respond." Heh. "You wouldn't want to scare them, no, but I'm sure a simple levitating charm wouldn't be too bad. Or maybe something that tickles them, like rictumsepra." Simple stuff. "I'd recommend asking Professor Schirmer for more ideas."
Yeah, spells were not his strong suit. Creatures were, and speaking of creatures, it was high time his class moved on!
------------------------------------------------
"All right, guys, while we let Sierra and Elise figure out that situation over there," he gestured toward the nest mess that was Elise's head, "we're going to start pygmy puff bowling."
Yes, that was right: pygmy puff bowling. "Now then, over there," he gestured over his shoulder with his thumb to a section of the barn they hadn't yet explored, "I've sent up a small bowling alley for you and your puffs to try. The catch is: I have no bowling balls. The BALLS are going to be YOUR pygmy puffs!"
Williamson beamed at them proudly, as if this idea was just SO genius. Heh. "Don't worry about hurting them; I'm about as big an animal rights activist as you can find." Totally true. "AND I've charmed the floor to be squishy soft, like a carpet made of moss. Same goes for the bowling pins." The pins actually felt more like stiff mattresses or foam pillows than anything.
"Your puffs will enjoy rolling down the lane, trust me, I've already tested it out with Nacho." William plucked the puff down from his head and moved over to the area where about five bowling lanes were set up. "Pair up with a few people and see how good you can do. Make sure to explain to your pygmy puff what's going on, so that they can help you win. Puffs are good at controlling their rolls, and if you're nicer to them, you just might have a better chance of getting a strike."
He smiled around at them all and waited for the blank stares to subside. "Any questions? If not, you may begin!" And maybe then he'd go help the nesting head puff girl thing.
They were going to be doing what?! Pygmy Puff bowling sounded fun but one look at poor old Barny and Ella felt bad. Would they really not mind being bowled down an alley towards some pins? She looked back to Professor Williamson who seemed sure that they wouldn't mind and in fact would quite enjoy the experience. She trusted him and looked down at Barnabus for a little pep talk. "Alright Barny, listen up. We're going to do some bowling and I'm not the-well I'm not the best at bowling so I need your help." she said with a firm nod. "Right so when you are rolling, well head towards the pins and knock down as many as you can! I know you can do it!" Ella tickled the puff with her finger and looked around, realizing she would need to find some other students to work with. She attempted to size up the other puffs too, wondering how it would be possible to tell who would be the best at bowling..."Anyone want to partner up?" She asked with a smile. Surely someone would want to work with her and Barny, who was a looker for sure as far as puffs went.
He was gonna roll! Rolly polly pygmy puff! Rolling was like one of the best things EVER!!! Now he wasn't just doing it for plain amusement - although that still was sort of the case - but rolling for the benefit of OTHERS! How many pygmy puffs could say THAT?
Bouncing like rubber ball, Momotaro II jumped out of Kurumi's hands and onto the ground and began to rooooooooooooooooooooooll
"Momotaro II! Not yet!" Kurumi squeaked as she chased after the pygmy puff, crawling on the ground on all fours. Merlin, hopefully the litte guy didn't go and do himself an injury before they even began to bowl! As she crawled after the creature, Kurumi couldn't help but admire just how quickly the little guy moved. With THAT much forward momentum, it seemed like it wouldn't be too much a problem knocking over some pins.
Rolling rolling rolling....rolling rolling rolling! Oh?! What's this?! A friend!? Did he want to roll with him?!
Kurumi came to a stop only when her head slammed into something...or someone as the case turned out to be. "Oh...hey Selina," she smiled, looking up at the Slytherin prefect and taking notice that Momotaro II seemed to, erm, want to be friends with her pygmy puff.
Selena was still playing with Kent... like squishing him and keeping his tongue away from her nose. Selena pet the little... head...(?) of the pygmy puff's and tried to make sure Kent didn't jump around. Because it was hard to catch a pygmy puff that wanted to bounce. Selena also thought that the pygmy puffs were very lucky that Clarke wasn't here because the cruppy would lick all the pygmy puffs which was n-
Was a pygmy puff running into he- nope. What was the Gryffindor prefect doing on the ground?
*blink blink*
A grin stretched across Selena's face when she noticed the pygmy puff on the ground. "HAAAIIIIIII Cookie Prefect." Yup. Cookie Prefect because it was COOL. And easier to say that Kurumi which was waaaay to long. And since Cookie Prefect was on the ground, Selena sat down too. Yup. Because she wanted to.
Kent blinked at the pygmy puff with his huge blue eyes and shivered slightly in his owner's hands. Did the pygmy puff want to PLAY?!?? Were the two going to race? But what Kent really wanted right now was to have his owner stop squishing him.
"I like your pygmy puff! Can I squish him?!?!" Selena asked, beaming from ear to ear.

They were going to BOWL the pygmy puffs?!
But... Daichi had started to like his Ducky Duck! He didn't want the grey little fluffy creature! He was about to protest by folding his arms together when he heard the Professor explain that it would hurt the creatures.
ooooh! hehe he knew that!
Daichi took his pygmy puff off his shoulder and held it in his hands. "You want to bowl as well?" he asked in voice as if he was talking to a baby and tickled the puff's fur. The creature let out a weird sound and Daichi figured he must like it.
Smiling, the third year Slytherin walked over to a Hufflepuff and tapped her shoulder. "You want to bowl with me and Ducky Duck?" he asked and pointed at his own grey colored pygmy puff.

Ella looked at the older Slytherin who had approached and nodded, happy for the invitation. "Sure." She said cheerfully, looking at the little grey puff. "Ducky Duck, that's a nice name. Well Ducky Duck, this little guy is Barnabus." She tickled the little yellow puff she was holding and returned her attention to the Slytherin boy. "You can call him Barny for short." she added with a smile. "Oh and I'm Ella!" Whoops, maybe she should have started with that.

Amelia waved to the other people in the group. She knew Brooke very vaguely, she was more familiar with Alyssa. And she didn't know the boy Joy at all. "Hi, guys." It was nice to be friendly to the people she was working with, because everyone here was so nice. "I'm okay with us four, But if you guys want more people added, I'm okay with that too."

Minerva looked around. "Ella can I be part of your team?" she looked at her puff "ok purplicious do you think you can help me win this game?" her puff just looked up at her without making a noise. Quiet little thing wasn't it she thought.

Annabelle was excited. She was looking around for a team to join. "Come on Squishy it is time to go bowling." she told her. She squeaked and hopped onto her shoulder going to the barn. "Hmm i wonder what team should i join?"

Ella turned to see Minnie and a cute puff approaching. She smiled and replied, "Of course! This should be fun!" She then looked at the older boy and his little grey puff again, wondering if they minded another member of the group. "You guys don't mind do you?" she asked, eyebrows raised. If he didn't they could get started! Ella was anxious to see what Barny would do as a bowling bowl. She looked at Minnie while she waited. "So what's your little puffs name?" she asked, sticking her hand out to pet the cute little creature.
