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.

------------------------------------------------
"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.
Arrgggh! Did WWW have to constantly point out every move she made like he was some sort of Quidditch announcer or something? Sierra slightly narrowed her eyes but otherwise made no other moves. Well, other than dangling the lettuce in front of the Pygmy Puff's face, that is.

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.
...
What?! So the Puff didn't even care about the lettuce?! Sierra's jaw dropped, and she gave the creature a 'how dare you' look. She glared at it then shrugged, as well. "Guess it only likes lettuce rather than loves it," she commented.

"Elise, I'm going to do you a huge favor, here, and separate your pygmy puff from your head. You're going to have to hold still, though." William gave the girl a grim face and flicked out his wand, standing back and rolling up his sleeves a bit.
He took a breath and then pointed his wand at the pygmy puff. "AGUAMENTI!" the man cast loudly, sternly, directing the blast of water that came jetting out of his wand straight at the crazy, nesting puff. His PLAN was that the water would catch the pygmy off guard and cause it to lose its grip on the girl's hair, then he would swoop in and scoop the puff up up and away.
So that's what Willy did: he went in for the swooping, aiming to just snatch that pygmy --- Honey, or Money, or whatever her name was --- off of poor Elise's hair....
Well if Sierra had known she could have blasted the creature off Elise's face with a jet of water, she'd have done that long ago! It would have been much more fun, too! Who wouldn't have loved seeing a harmless, innocent creature tortured by a blast of water? It would have been hilarious...
Losing interest quickly, though, she shrugged and turned around. "Anyone still need another group member?" she asked. Bowling a creature into a pin? This had to be awesome!

Keefer turned to where Sierra was standing, hearing the plea for a group. "Come on over, we could use another person!" he said, waving her over with his pygmy puff-free arm.

Lily stepped up as Keefer moved aside so that she could get to the lane. "Come on Blueberry, all you have to do is roll down the lane and knock over all of the pins." Petting the puff until it purred, Lily stepped up and prepared to send her puff down the lane. As she let go, the puff started rolling quickly down the lane. Roll...roll roll roll roll... faster and faster the puff went down the lane. Oooo.. big stick thingies... is that what the girl!person told me to hit... As the puff reached the end of the lane, Blueberry knocked over five of the pins.
"Well it's nice to meet you Lily and Blueberry." He picked up Sutherland and brought him down to Blueberry's level. "Blueberry, this is Sutherland. Sutherland, Blueberry." No sooner had Keefer finished the introductions than he heard Sutherland begin to emit very loud noises.
Oh great, now what? he thought. He certainly didn't want his puff getting any ideas. Then again, he didn't know the gender of Lily's pygmy puff, so he wasn't sure what those ideas would be. He put Sutherland back on his shoulder to quiet him down. "Oh be quiet, you!" he said jovially. Hopefully it was just excited to meet another friend. Or go bowling.
And speaking of bowling...
"Five pins, that's not bad for a first try! Let's see how many Sutherland here can pick up next." And if there were still some left standing, Sierra's puff could take it on. Keefer hadn't ever been bowling before, but it didn't look all that complicated, given that Sutherland apparently had awesome directing-himself-towards-pins skills.
Keefer walked forward and swung the arm holding Sutherland toward the five remaining pins. He let go of Sutherland and let the little guy do the rest of the work.
EEEEEEEEEEEE! Weee! Waaa-waaa-waaa-waaaa!
"Go buddy, go!" Keefer encouraged. "Alright, four more pins down! Good job, bud!" he said as he went to retrieve his puff. With a loud squelching noise, Sutherland wrapped his long tongue around the nearest pin. "Ew, no! Not food!" he said, slightly mortified. With some difficulty and resorting to the Aguamenti trick Williamson used earlier, he managed to extricate the pin from Sutherland's clenches. "Next time I'm getting you away sooner."

Hold still. So he was going to yank it off her head. Or wait.. WHAT?! He was pulling out his wand? What was he going to do, kill her?! AGUAMENTI?! What was the guy, nutters? As the jet of water drenched the puff, it also kinda got into her hair and started dripping onto her robes. Great.
As the jet of water soaked her from head to -i dunno...- knee? She felt Honey's grip loosening and the next thing she knew, the honey-colored puff flew across the room and knocked over a bowling pin or two... or five.
Now Honey was just snuggling in when some cold jet of something blasted her off her nest. That was mean! But when she hit the floor, she started ROLLING! Rolling Puffy! Rollrollroll! Oh! Hi straight thingy do you wanna roll too?
KNOCCK!
Heh whoops! Even though the Ravenclaw was soaking, dripping wet now, at least the spell had worked to knock the pygmy puff off. "And she's rolllllllling," he commented idly, his brain taking a moment to register that fact.
Oh! Rolling rogue puff on the loose, better go fetch her! Williamson jogged after the honey-colored creature and scooped her up before she disrupted TOO many bowling games.
He tucked the creature under his arm like a football and gave her a stern talking-to as he walked back to Elise. "Now then, Honey, NO MORE of that nesting nonsense. It's not the season and human hair is NOT a suitable material." And hopefully Elise would have the common sense to NOT stick the puff on her head again.
"Here." He held out the pygmy to her owner.

...
Oh, great. A Puffer. Oh, those loyal ones. They were always there when Sierra needed a group. She had to give them that much. So despite her near-hatred for all things Puffer, she put a smile on her face and nodded. "Cool, thanks," she said, joining the group. She held her Pygmy Puff out. "This is It," she said, looking toward the creature. "I mean, that's the name of the Pygmy Puff. It."
She watched as the boy, the Puffer captain she knew, bowled his Pygmy Puff toward the pins. "Well, that's one pin left then," she said, getting ready to roll It. She'd never bowled before, buts he'd played Quidditch. It couldn't be that much different than aiming for a goal hoop. She moved her arm back and then moved it forward again, releasing the Pygmy Puff a moment later. It rolled and rolled toward the pin.
At the last second, it must have sensed it wasn't going straight toward the pin, because Sierra could almost swear she saw the creature force a move more toward the left. That's where the remaining pin was. Finally, it rolled right into the pin, knocking it over. "...make than zero pins left."
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Ella smiled, nodding her head. "That's a nice name, Daichi...maybe a little long though. How about the Mighty Ducks!?"She looked at her other teammates for their opinion on the matter. Daichi's name was nice but Ella was sure she wouldn't remember it. "I guess since our team name will involve the work Duck that means Ducky Duck will have to be team captain of the puffs or something!" she said cheerfully.
She watched as Daichi once again took his roll. This time Ducky Duck was much more successful, knocking down four pins. "Yay Ducky Duck!" Ella exclaimed, clapping her hands. "My turn." She said, looking down at Barny. "Okay Barnabus, you're up. Show them what you're made of." Ella sent the little yellow puff rolling towards the pins, her eyes wide and her fingers crossed. This time, Barnabus went a little to the side and was only able to knock down two pins. "That's okay Barny. I still love you!" she called with a smile. "Minnie, you're up."
The Mighty Ducks? hmmmm... Daichi scratched his chin in thought as if he had a beard. It sounded catchy. And to be honest he would forget his orginal idea anyways so this name should do. "The Mighty Ducks it is!" he cheered and then grabbed both Ella's and Minerva's hands and swinged their arms in the air.
AND Ducky Duck was team captain?! Daichi looked proudly at his Pygmy Puff that was now happily rolling on the soft floor. "Did you hear that Ducky Duck? You are team captain now so do your best okay?" The puff let out a loud squeak. Daichi turned his attention to Ella as she took Barny to the lane. He waited for her to roll the fluffy ball of fur and Barny knocked over two pins.
That was baaaaaad. But Ducky Duck seemed to be excited by it as he started to bounce up and down. "Good job Barny~" he cheered. "You too Ella" he laughed, don't forget the one who throws.

Now it was Minerva's turn and Daichi noticed he had automatically went up the lane to congratulate Barny and Ella. He quickly stepped aside to give her space for Purplicious to roll and Daichi clapped his hands as the Puff knocked over four pins. "Awesome Purpy!" Yes Purpy, because Purplicious was too long for him.
Daichi took his position on the lane and tried to keep Ducky Duck in his hands as he started to bounce in them. "Ducky..hold still" he whispered , trying to relax the Pygmy Puff but it seemed that the puff had his eyes on something else than the Bowling alley. Daichi looked to his side to see another Pygmy Puff bouncing up and then and ...being hyper on its own on the floor.
And... IT WAS SO ADORABLE~. He wanted that one... He wanted to have THAT pygmy puff as well as Ducky Duck. The Slytherin looked to see who had the ADORABLE Pygmy Puff and he saw Kurumi picking it up.
Oh no, he wanted to have that puff but... he didn't want to steal from Kurumi either! Could he control himself or... Shaking his head, Daichi took a deep breath and looked back at the lane. He moved his arms back and then forth and let Ducky Duck rooooooooooooll on the soft floor before hitting three pins! "Way the go Captain Ducky Duck~!" he cheered and walked over to grab his loud squeaking Pygmy Puff up.

Ella laughed as Daichi took her and Minnie's hands and swung them into the air. The good thing was, even if they didn't do so well they definitely had team spirit. "Goooo Ducks!" she said, joining in on the fun.
She smiled as Minnie and Daichi applauded Barny's not so great effort. She knew he could do better than that though and would give him a better pep talk next round. She then watched as Minnie's cute little puff went, knocking down a good amount of pins. Then it was Ducky Ducks turn and she was expecting something great out of him. He only got three pins but that was okay, it was more than Barny had gotten! "Good job Ducky Duck and Daichi!" She said, cheering happily.
Now it was Barny's turn again and she picked up the little puff, looking it in the eyes. "Barnabus Yellow Puff, this is your moment. I want you to focus only on those pins and you-you knock their socks off-er so to speak. Just roll towards the big pins and hit them as hard as you can, okay?" She tickled the little puff and then let him roll, watching as he gained speed. He was heading right for the center of the pins and going fast. "Gooo!" she exclaimed. As Barny make impact he knocked over six-yes six of the pins. Ella was so excited she jumped up and then ran to collect her little pin killer. "Yeahhh Barnabus, you are the king of the pins!" Barny gave out a little Squeakkkk which Ella considered to be a sign of how proud he was of himself. "Your turn Min!" she said happily.

Minerva watched her team mates. "You two and your cute little puffs are so good at this." she looked down at purplicious and began to walk back up to the lane. Okay she needed to start getting more pins down so her team would not think she was the weakest link. She took a deep breath and went to roll the pygmy puff down the lane, but instead of purplicious rolling straight she put her little paw legs out stopped rolling and started off across the lanes. "Oh wait purpilicious where are you going? Sorry guys, I'll get her." she took off after the pygmy. "Come back dear, come back"
Cookie Prefect? Kurumi should have known that more nicknames involving cookies would surface even after the pioneers of such nicknames graduated. Evelyn with Cookie Girl and Salander with Cookie Princess to be exact. She should probably have a nickname for Selena too, right? Save that bit for later.
Okay, no more rolling for now. It was time to BOUNCE! Momotaro II bounce all around the floor in hopes of getting the other to join him. Surely he wanted to rooooooooooooooooll around as well, yes?
SQUEEEEK MEEP MEEE SQUEE!!
S-S-Squish him? Um...did pygmy puffs like being squished? Kurumi wasn't sure that Momotaro II really wanted to be squished just now. "Um...I guess?" Kurumi really wasn't sure about this squishing thing. "So...repeat of capture the flag?" Since they had teamed up then and stuff. Seemed like their pygmy puffs had made the decision for them after all.
OH OOH OOOOOH! More friends to bounce with! This was going to be fun! Maybe they SHOULD race with each other and see who could hit the most pins?! Not that he really understood the point of pin hitting...but whatever.
*bounce bounce rooooooooooooooooooooooooooll*
"Hey Selina," Kurumi waved. Merlin this was going to be confusing. Time to come up with a nickname for one of them. "Sure, as long as your pygmy puff is alright with it." After all, if their creatures didn't get along with each other, there would be no point of them being on the same team, right? But then SelEna called SelIna Alien Selina and Kurumi pondered for a moment using that as a nickname to distinguish between the two for the rest of the duration of the lesson.
Nope. Wasn't going to work. Kurumi just could not call her best friend an alien when she knew that to be a lie.
"So...Team EAPP for short?" Because that team name was AWFULLY long...
Looking up again now, Kurumi should have known that it wouldn't be long before Gideon showed up. "Hey, Gideon," she smiled as she glanced at her pygmy puff that was currently having a ball rolling around all over the place. "I...don't see why not." Professor Williamson hadn't specified how many to a group and as long as there were enough people to divide up into teams it should all be fine.
And then SelEna went shouting about Slytherins and being outnumbered. "Um...Selena...does it really matter? I mean...if we are a team doesn't what house we are in sort of cancel out?" After all, there was no Gryffindor in team...no Slytherin either come to think of it.
Glancing around the room again, Kurumi turned back to her group. "Do to think we should just give this...um...bowling a go? People can join us later if they want to."
GO?! DID SOMEONE SAY GO?!
*rooooooooooooooooooooooll*

Because the view from below was obviously cooler. That was why she was short. Make a team? Oh riiiiight.... that was what they were doing here... And there was another Gryffindor. Were there no Slytherins here??!?!? "HAAAIIIII." Because it was nice. Right? To work with people? But where were the Slytherins? "I think you can join our team! Riiiiggghhht?" Selena asked, looking at the Cookie Prefect who miiiight be part of the team and then at the Alien Girl Selina.
"Yaaay! Gooo Team Epically Awesometastical Pygmy Puffs!" Selena exclaimed. And with that, Selena patted the floor with her hand, placing Kent in her lap before he decided to roll away like the Cookie Prefect's had. "Come ooooon! Take a seat!" Because there was no point in standing quite yet. They weren't rolling any pygmy puffs yet.
And now... for something even more important. "ANY MORE SLYTHERINS?!?!? I'm kinda outnumbered here with these Gryffindors on Team Epically Awesometastical Pygmy Puffs!!!" Yes. Slytherins. Where are you?!

He was a COMC professor?
Usually they were all about respecting the creatures that they worked with, not using them for games. And then there was the added struggle of pairing off again. Or at least into groups. And seeing as he had lost track of his partner Gideon looked around for others that he could work with. Spotting Kurumi, Selina and another girl, he made sure Doyle was secure back within his scarf around his neck and headed over to them hoping they had room in their group for him. "Hey are ye all working together? Any room for another?"
She was so glad when Kurumi and Selena agreed that she could be part of their team. The last thing she wanted was to join Keefer's team. It was not that she did not like Keefer, she liked the Hufflepuff Captain a lot, she just did not like his team being as boisterous as they were being. It was kind of obnoxious. Then again it was probably Selina's competitive streak talking...
When Gideon approached the pack Selina grinned at him and looked to Kurumi to see if it was alright if Gideon joined the group. She hoped that it all worked out so when it did she walked over to Gideon and innocently nudged him, "Ready?"
Now that their entire team was in place Selina nodded at Kurumi and said, "Yeah we should probably get started... who wants to offer up their puff as a guinea pig?" Of course she meant Pygmy Puff... although a regular puff might have been equally entertaining. That of course was so very wrong of her to think... *snicker*

She watched as Minnie put Purpilicious down to go and then...where was her puff going? "Escape! Man down!...but ducks fly together!" She exclaimed, trying to coax Purpilicious into coming back.

Okay, no more rolling for now. It was time to BOUNCE! Momotaro II bounce all around the floor in hopes of getting the other to join him. Surely he wanted to rooooooooooooooooll around as well, yes?
SQUEEEEK MEEP MEEE SQUEE!!
S-S-Squish him? Um...did pygmy puffs like being squished? Kurumi wasn't sure that Momotaro II really wanted to be squished just now. "Um...I guess?" Kurumi really wasn't sure about this squishing thing. "So...repeat of capture the flag?" Since they had teamed up then and stuff. Seemed like their pygmy puffs had made the decision for them after all.
OH OOH OOOOOH! More friends to bounce with! This was going to be fun! Maybe they SHOULD race with each other and see who could hit the most pins?! Not that he really understood the point of pin hitting...but whatever.
*bounce bounce rooooooooooooooooooooooooooll*
"Hey Selina," Kurumi waved. Merlin this was going to be confusing. Time to come up with a nickname for one of them. "Sure, as long as your pygmy puff is alright with it." After all, if their creatures didn't get along with each other, there would be no point of them being on the same team, right? But then SelEna called SelIna Alien Selina and Kurumi pondered for a moment using that as a nickname to distinguish between the two for the rest of the duration of the lesson.
Nope. Wasn't going to work. Kurumi just could not call her best friend an alien when she knew that to be a lie.
"So...Team EAPP for short?" Because that team name was AWFULLY long...
Looking up again now, Kurumi should have known that it wouldn't be long before Gideon showed up. "Hey, Gideon," she smiled as she glanced at her pygmy puff that was currently having a ball rolling around all over the place. "I...don't see why not." Professor Williamson hadn't specified how many to a group and as long as there were enough people to divide up into teams it should all be fine.
And then SelEna went shouting about Slytherins and being outnumbered. "Um...Selena...does it really matter? I mean...if we are a team doesn't what house we are in sort of cancel out?" After all, there was no Gryffindor in team...no Slytherin either come to think of it.
Glancing around the room again, Kurumi turned back to her group. "Do to think we should just give this...um...bowling a go? People can join us later if they want to."
GO?! DID SOMEONE SAY GO?!
*rooooooooooooooooooooooll*

It was not that she did not like Keefer, she liked the Hufflepuff Captain a lot, she just did not like his team being as boisterous as they were being. It was kind of obnoxious. Then again it was probably Selina's competitive streak talking...
When Gideon approached the pack Selina grinned at him and looked to Kurumi to see if it was alright if Gideon joined the group. She hoped that it all worked out so when it did she walked over to Gideon and innocently nudged him, "Ready?"
Now that their entire team was in place Selina nodded at Kurumi and said, "Yeah we should probably get started... who wants to offer up their puff as a guinea pig?" Of course she meant Pygmy Puff... although a regular puff might have been equally entertaining. That of course was so very wrong of her to think... *snicker*
Well it seemed like he had gotten the approval to join the team, both Selina and Kurumi saying so so Gideon relaxed into the aspect of working with the three girls. Granted the Slytherin hadn't said much about it but if he remembered the girl correctly that was probably a good thing. Wouldn't want more alien talk. "Aye...I am," he replied as Selina nudged him before turning back to the group as a whole as they discussed who would be going first.
"I guess my puff can be it," he offered figuring they were all likely to be used played with at one point or another so it didn't matter really which one went first. Not to mention there was a bit of curiousity arising to combat the reluctancy to harm the creatures. But Professor Williamson didn't seem fazed by it so it was probably minimal. Reaching up to his neck, he went to retrieve Doyle from the cowl of his scarf gaining a tiny squeek from the creature in response as it was moved.
Why....why am I being moved? I was comfy and warm.
Setting the little reddish pygmy puff down on the ground, Gideon galnced around for any sort of example on what to do . But finding none he figured he just had to roll the puff down towards the pins. So with that the Gryffindor boy rolled Doyle down the makeshift lane.

Vickers winced, wondering if his ears were deceiving him. Did the Professor really did say use the Pygmy Puffs as a bowling ball? He struggled to try to pull Hendrix out, who has now sought to bury herself in the pockets of his robes. He eyed the bowling alley, and the pins at the far end. Even if they were covered in cushioning charms, he wasnt all for using the little creature as a THING.
Hendrix was still shaking as she was yanked out of her burrow that was the Ravenclaw's pocket. Then she saw the pins knocking each other as they were hit by other Pygmy Puffs. Then for some reason, she stuck her incredibly long tongue out and seized a pin.
Vickers yelped as he saw a pin flying straight towards him, the top part actually smacking him on the chin. "Owwrch" he grumbled as he nursed his chin, then stared dumbfounded at his Puff. "W-What are you trying to do? Dont eat that!" he said struggling to pry the pin away from the Puff.

The moment someone mentioned the word "go" (probably one of the Selina/Selenas) Momotaro II had taken that as his cue to get going...and going he did. Kurumi was back on all fours, crawling after the pygmy puff and trying to catch him before he cause too much chaos. Why did she have to have the pygmy puff that was causing a scene EVERYWHERE?!
"Come back here, please," she said as she scooted along the floor, trying her best to avoid everyone in the process. "Momotaro II, this isn't how we play...come on...come back..."
It's a race it's a race! I WIN I WIN!
Rolling around was SO much fun! And, what was this confused looking friend of his doing? He was rolling far too slow to have any fun! Squeaking at the pygmy puff (Gideon's) Momotaro II ZOOMED down the alley and head straight for the pins and squished into them pygmy puffs did not crash, they squished you see.
Knocking down 8 and hoping that the confused puff would pick up the rest for them, Momotaro II became BORED.
GAH! "G-G-Gideon, I'm sorry," Kurumi squeaked, still crawling after the little guy. "I didn't explain to him about taking turns." How silly of her to have left THAT out. Although, she hadn't expected for Momotaro II to just go ROLLING off like that.
Just when she thought she was close enough to snatch him up and congratulate him for knocking down 8 pins scold him, the little guy zoomed away again.
It's a race it's a race. I WIN I WIN!
Well, this area was boring, so the pygmy puff decided to roll ELSEWHERE and that meant ROLLING MOOOOOOOOORE! Bouncing now and again as he rolled, Momotaro II squeaked for another pygmy puff (Vicker's) to come join him so that they could race and that he could win. With his beady eyes, Momotaro II found a GLORIOUS area with pins all set up and just waiting to be knocked over.
DRAT. Momotaro II had gotten away and Kurumi glanced over her shoulder to give Professor Williamson a pleading look. What had he fed this particular pygmy puff? Whatever it was, she wanted to know so that she would never EVER feed a creature it. And then...she watched in horror as the bouncing-rolling ball of fluff announced itself to Daichi's group with a very loud and energetic squeak before plowing right down the middle of their pins. Well, at least he had bowled a strike?

Cookie Prefect? Kurumi should have known that more nicknames involving cookies would surface even after the pioneers of such nicknames graduated.

OH! Wha---what's goin' on?
Selena had permission to SQUISH the pygmy puff. YES. Selena liked that. But then the Cookie Prefect brought up the Capture the Flag game. "Does that mean you have cookies with you now?" Selena asked, grinning. Because she totally had chocolate with her right now. And she was still all for bribing the other teams with chocolate to LOSE. Yup. Right, back to the pygmy puff.
Kent wanted to roll. He wanted to bounce around. He wanted to plaaaay with the other pygmy puffs. But his owner wouldn't let him. He just continued to squirm in her hands, hoping that his owner would LET HIM GO.
Or.... not. Because they wanted to give it a go. And Gryffindor boy let his pygmy puff ROLL. Eyes wide, she watched as Cookie Prefect's pygmy puff began to roll as well. Selena set Kent on the ground and reached out to grab the Gryffindor Prefect's pygmy puff.
"HEY. I DIDN'T SQUISH YOU YET!!!" Selena exclaimed, as the pygmy puff rolled away. That wasn't fair. She was supposed to squish the cute little ball of FLUFF. Then she watched as KENT started to roll away. What was wrong with the pygmy puffs. That was the very reason why Selena balanced Kent on her HEAD. Because he didn't start rolling around the floor when she didn't want him to.
As soon as he was placed on the ground he started to roll after the other pygmy puff letting out a squeak as he did. He rolled and rolled after the other pygmy puffs, quite happy to be free.
However, she was distracted because she watched the Gryffindor Prefect scamper after her pygmy puff. hehe... it was kinda funny. Wait. WHERE WAS KENT?!!?? SHE NEEDED HER KENT. Where had the pygmy puff roll off to? The king of all pygmy puffs couldn't just disappear!
"KENT?!" Selena called out. And then she heard pins tumbling over... but not theirs. "Cookie Prefect? I think you just scored points for the other team."
Now. Where was KENT?! She needed Clarke. Once Clarke started to lick a purple pygmy puff, she'd know which one was Kent.

Oh! Rolling rogue puff on the loose, better go fetch her! Williamson jogged after the honey-colored creature and scooped her up before she disrupted TOO many bowling games.
He tucked the creature under his arm like a football and gave her a stern talking-to as he walked back to Elise. "Now then, Honey, NO MORE of that nesting nonsense. It's not the season and human hair is NOT a suitable material." And hopefully Elise would have the common sense to NOT stick the puff on her head again.
"Here." He held out the pygmy to her owner.
Watching the puff roll, Elise sighed and rubbed her head. Her hair was a mess, knotted and fluffed up and dripping wet. "She's rolling," Elise agreed, too tired to process the information.
And when Professor WWW tried to run after it, it was all Elise could do not to giggle. He looked so comical, chasing after a ball of fluff. Maaaaybe she should help him... But before she could start towards the fluffball, he'd tucked it under his and and started walking back. Ooookay.
"Thanks, Professor," she grinned, taking the pygmy puffer. Now, more importantly, she had a bouncing pygmy puff in her hands.
Now Honey was having fun ROLLING until the human started chasing after her. Not her human nest person, the other bigger one. Being tucked under an arm wasn't cool and as soon as she got into humannestperson's hands, she began bouncing.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

She smiled as Minnie and Daichi applauded Barny's not so great effort. She knew he could do better than that though and would give him a better pep talk next round. She then watched as Minnie's cute little puff went, knocking down a good amount of pins. Then it was Ducky Ducks turn and she was expecting something great out of him. He only got three pins but that was okay, it was more than Barny had gotten! "Good job Ducky Duck and Daichi!" She said, cheering happily.
Now it was Barny's turn again and she picked up the little puff, looking it in the eyes. "Barnabus Yellow Puff, this is your moment. I want you to focus only on those pins and you-you knock their socks off-er so to speak. Just roll towards the big pins and hit them as hard as you can, okay?" She tickled the little puff and then let him roll, watching as he gained speed. He was heading right for the center of the pins and going fast. "Gooo!" she exclaimed. As Barny make impact he knocked over six-yes six of the pins. Ella was so excited she jumped up and then ran to collect her little pin killer. "Yeahhh Barnabus, you are the king of the pins!" Barny gave out a little Squeakkkk which Ella considered to be a sign of how proud he was of himself. "Your turn Min!" she said happily.
Daichi laughed with Ella as the moment he held her arm in the air she started to cheer. Really, when was the last time he had so much fun in a class. Professor Williamson had not been lying to him when he had said the second lesson would be more fun than the first one.
Daichi picked up Ducky Duck from the floor he was bouncing on and held it it in his hands. He then turned to look at the little Hufflepuff as she stood on the soft squishy lane and rooooooooolled her Pygmy Puff. He watched it going fast...really fast and unconsiously, Daichi began to mutter cheering words under his breath. "SIX PINS~!" The Slytherin threw his arms in the air which caused Ducky Duck to launch in to the air. He gasp as he noticed his puff flying and spread his arms in an attempt to catch his little creature again.
He breathed out deeply when he catched his Pygmy Puff savely and gave it a big hug. "I'm sor--" SQUUUUEEAAAAK~! Eh? did he like that? Weird creature.

She took a deep breath and went to roll the pygmy puff down the lane, but instead of purplicious rolling straight she put her little paw legs out stopped rolling and started off across the lanes. "Oh wait purpilicious where are you going? Sorry guys, I'll get her." she took off after the pygmy. "Come back dear, come back"
Next turn was Minerva's and Daichi couldn't help but blush at her comment on how good Ducky Duck and Barny were at this. "Purpy is awesome too!" he cheered, not wanting the Puff to feel left out and his grey Ducky Duck let out a loud squeak as well as if to say. *good luck!*
They watched as Minerva began to roooooll her Pygmy Puff and it was going straight at the middle! Were they going to get a strike?! But halfway, Daichi had to frown when the Purpy suddenly stopped and....was..was she ..rolling away?!
O___o
"Minerva! your Purpy is esca--" he wanted to say escaping but it seemed that the Hufflepuff was already chasing after it. Hehe it was a funny sight thought.

She watched as Minnie put Purpilicious down to go and then...where was her puff going? "Escape! Man down!...but ducks fly together!" She exclaimed, trying to coax Purpilicious into coming back.
Daichi laughed his usual high pitched laugh that came out whenever he was happy ..or nervous.. when he heard Ella yelling something about ducks flying together. Oh wait, did that mean he had to coax Purpy back as well? He sighed and placed Ducky Duck on his shoulder to help but before he could walk away from their lane...the pins fell down in to a strike.

Daichi staaaared at the pins in the bowling area as the were knocked over. "STRIIIIIIIIIIIIKE~!" he shouted as loud as he good and grinned stupidly. Until it dawned him that... none of his teammates were on the lane and, Ducky Duck was still on his shoulder. What the?
Walking towards the pins, Daichi noticed that it was the same Pygmy Puff he had found ADORABLE only a few moments ago. But...this was Kurumi's Puff..he knew that for he had seen her picking it up but...but... Daichi's fingers twitched as he bend down to sit on his knees. He wasn't a thief...he was a collector? Because he like to collect ADORABLE things and..this Puff was ADORABLE. Looking around before picking the loud squeaking and obviously ADORABLE Pygmy Puff up and walked away quickly to find his Team Mighty Ducks!

"Well it's nice to meet you Lily and Blueberry." He picked up Sutherland and brought him down to Blueberry's level. "Blueberry, this is Sutherland. Sutherland, Blueberry." No sooner had Keefer finished the introductions than he heard Sutherland begin to emit very loud noises.
Oh great, now what? he thought. He certainly didn't want his puff getting any ideas. Then again, he didn't know the gender of Lily's pygmy puff, so he wasn't sure what those ideas would be. He put Sutherland back on his shoulder to quiet him down. "Oh be quiet, you!" he said jovially. Hopefully it was just excited to meet another friend. Or go bowling.
And speaking of bowling...
"Five pins, that's not bad for a first try! Let's see how many Sutherland here can pick up next." And if there were still some left standing, Sierra's puff could take it on. Keefer hadn't ever been bowling before, but it didn't look all that complicated, given that Sutherland apparently had awesome directing-himself-towards-pins skills.
Keefer walked forward and swung the arm holding Sutherland toward the five remaining pins. He let go of Sutherland and let the little guy do the rest of the work.
EEEEEEEEEEEE! Weee! Waaa-waaa-waaa-waaaa!
"Go buddy, go!" Keefer encouraged. "Alright, four more pins down! Good job, bud!" he said as he went to retrieve his puff. With a loud squelching noise, Sutherland wrapped his long tongue around the nearest pin. "Ew, no! Not food!" he said, slightly mortified. With some difficulty and resorting to the Aguamenti trick Williamson used earlier, he managed to extricate the pin from Sutherland's clenches. "Next time I'm getting you away sooner."

So despite her near-hatred for all things Puffer, she put a smile on her face and nodded. "Cool, thanks," she said, joining the group. She held her Pygmy Puff out. "This is It," she said, looking toward the creature. "I mean, that's the name of the Pygmy Puff. It."
She watched as the boy, the Puffer captain she knew, bowled his Pygmy Puff toward the pins. "Well, that's one pin left then," she said, getting ready to roll It. She'd never bowled before, buts he'd played Quidditch. It couldn't be that much different than aiming for a goal hoop. She moved her arm back and then moved it forward again, releasing the Pygmy Puff a moment later. It rolled and rolled toward the pin.
At the last second, it must have sensed it wasn't going straight toward the pin, because Sierra could almost swear she saw the creature force a move more toward the left. That's where the remaining pin was. Finally, it rolled right into the pin, knocking it over. "...make than zero pins left."
Lily stood back as she watched Keefer bowl with his puff. "It looks like Sutherland likes the bowling pins." Lily said giggling softly. Four pins was still good considering that there were only 5 left after Lily had rolled.
And now it was the Slytherin's turn to roll. Lily watched as the Slytherin girl introduced her Pygmy puff. The shy Ravenclaw wasn't sure whether she should introduce herself to the unknown Slytherin girl, or just wait until she was noticed. I think I'll go with the latter... Lily thought as she watched the last pin fall. Looking up at Keefer, the redhead tugged gently on the older boy's cloak to get his attention. "Do you think we are supposed to set up the pins again and keep playing?" Sure, Lily was a Ravenclaw, but she didn't know what to do all the time... and she would rather play it safe and ask the older students what to do rather than do it herself and risk losing points.

"Yes, I'll go set them up right away." He propped Sutherland on his shoulder and set off down the lane. Bending carefully to not tip the puff off his shoulder, he set the pins back in their proper place. As he strode back, he realized he hadn't introduced Lily to the Slytherin. And she seems too shy to do that herself.
"Sorry, I've been rude. Lily, this is Sierra. Sierra, Lily." He motioned back and forth between the two girls as he spoke, though it was obviously unnecessary since there were only two people being introduced.
"So, Sierra, would you like to go first this time?"

Minerva went running after her puff. "Come back here Purplicious PLEASE" she said. All of the sudden the puff came to a stop. "What are you doing." Minerva said as she picked up the creature. She walked back to her group. "Sorry about that Ella and Daichi I don't know what she had in mind. Let's try this again." she walked up to the lane. "Ok little one lets not run again. Let's get the pins down, ok?" she giggled as she rolled the puff and it seemed the puff wanted to listen this time. It seemed eager to roll straight down the middle of the lane and then it hit the pins. Minerva started jumping up and down clapping her hands. "Did you see that." she pointed and looked at her team. "STRIKE, way to go Purplicious." she went over and picked up the puff petting it happily.

"Minerva! your Purpy is esca--" he wanted to say escaping but it seemed that the Hufflepuff was already chasing after it. Hehe it was a funny sight thought.
Daichi laughed his usual high pitched laugh that came out whenever he was happy ..or nervous.. when he heard Ella yelling something about ducks flying together. Oh wait, did that mean he had to coax Purpy back as well? He sighed and placed Ducky Duck on his shoulder to help but before he could walk away from their lane...the pins fell down in to a strike.
Daichi staaaared at the pins in the bowling area as the were knocked over. "STRIIIIIIIIIIIIKE~!" he shouted as loud as he good and grinned stupidly. Until it dawned him that... none of his teammates were on the lane and, Ducky Duck was still on his shoulder. What the?
Walking towards the pins, Daichi noticed that it was the same Pygmy Puff he had found ADORABLE only a few moments ago. But...this was Kurumi's Puff..he knew that for he had seen her picking it up but...but... Daichi's fingers twitched as he bend down to sit on his knees. He wasn't a thief...he was a collector? Because he like to collect ADORABLE things and..this Puff was ADORABLE. Looking around before picking the loud squeaking and obviously ADORABLE Pygmy Puff up and walked away quickly to find his Team Mighty Ducks!
Ella heard Daichi yell strike and looked over her shoulder, happy for Ducky Duck and his awesome turn. Her eye brows raised however when another little pygmy puff was stopped in front of the pins. How strange, another run away pygmy puff...Her mind automatically went back to the pygmy puff mutiny she was sure would occur at any time. She looked at Barny with a smile. "Thanks for not running-er rolling off Barnabus. Stick with me and you'll be golden...well I guess you already kind of are." She said, noting the puffs yellow coloring.
SPOILER!!: Minnie

She walked back to her group. "Sorry about that Ella and Daichi I don't know what she had in mind. Let's try this again." she walked up to the lane. "Ok little one lets not run again. Let's get the pins down, ok?" she giggled as she rolled the puff and it seemed the puff wanted to listen this time. It seemed eager to roll straight down the middle of the lane and then it hit the pins. Minerva started jumping up and down clapping her hands. "Did you see that." she pointed and looked at her team. "STRIKE, way to go Purplicious." she went over and picked up the puff petting it happily.
"It's okay," Ella said, smiling. She kind of liked the chaos, it made her laugh as all the pygmy puffs were running wild. Well, all but good old Barny. She watched as Purplicious rolled towards the pins, this time heading straight towards the middle. She felt herself getting excited as the little puff hit the pins, knocking all of them down. She smiled at Minerva, bouncing up and down. "She did it-She did it! Woooo!"

What does he mean she cant eat it? What are they for then? Hendrix still would loosen her tongue around the pin despite Vickers' efforts to pry it off her. Then she hears the familiar squeak squeak of other Puffs, lead by the scary coral pink Puff... who plowed straight into the pins at the far end.
A whole LOT MORE pins! Why should she struggle with one when she an have all of them?
Vickers was trying to be patient with prying the pin out of Hendrix's tongue when she suddenly let it go. She leapt off his hand and started to roll down the lane racing against the other Puffs until she smacked soundly against the pins, sending them all to the ground. Despite his concern about his puff getting hurt, he managed to clap a bit "Good job Hendrix!" Then he stops short. Hendrix was making her way back to him...
... with her tongue twisted around each pin and dragging the whole lot back up the lane.
"N-No Hendrix, put those back!"

Elise heard a loud crash, a strike before turning away from Professor WWW. Bouncing her way over to the noise, she smiled. "A bowling pin fetish?" she asked the older Ravenclaw, a little humored. "At least she bowled a strike?"
Now, on to the more important business. Since he didn't seem to be bowling with anyone, she held the puff close to her chest. "You wouldn't happen to have a partner or something, would you?" she asked, still trying to restrain the bouncing pygmy puff.

"Go Nerfball GO. KNOCK THEM DOWN."Alyssa called out to her Pygmy Puff who seemed to have actually understood her instructions because he/she continued to roll even though it should have slowed down by now, and kept knocking the pins it came across. Soon the pins in her lane had been all knocked down. "YES!! NERFBALL...You got them all. NO...NO...Nerfball stop!!"Alyssa yelled out to her Pygmy Puff because not only had he/she knocked down all their pins, he/she didn't stop rolling and had crossed over to the next lane and was knocking down the pins of other team's and it kept rolling on to the next lane and the next lane....knocking pins down everywhere it went.
Alyssa quickly ran to the end of her lane and then crossed over to the other lanes dodging the other Pygmy Puffs, and picking up the pins that Nerfball had knocked down and placed them back up again. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."She called out as she chased after her Pygmy Puff who was almost at the end of the last lane.
As she followed in it's trail, she kept replacing the fallen pins and standing them back up again. Finally she noticed that Nerfball had come to a stop and was turning around again. "NO NERFBALL!!" Alyssa took a flying dive and grabbed the Pygmy Puff...landing straight on her front. "OOOmph!! Good job Nerfball. You can stop now." Alyssa stood up and brushed herself off and bent down to straighten out the pins that SHE had knocked down in the process of catching her Pygmy Puff. "I'm so sorry everyone. I guess Nerfball REALLY wants a taste of my boogers. Sorry for the interruption." Alyssa apologized again, before walking outside the lanes and walking over to the Professor.
"I'm sorry Professor, for the chaos. I told Nerfball that he/she could have all the nose boogers he wanted if he knocked as many pins as possible. I failed to tell him just the ones in our lane." Alyssa apologized before walking back to her group. She pulled out the tissue which she had blown into earlier opened it up and let the Pygmy Puff sniff at it. It immediately stuck out it's tongue and swallowed the entire lot, and then looked back up at her again. "What? That's not enough? I guess I did promise you as much as you wanted." So Alyssa pulled out another tissue. Thank goodness her nose was still runny. She blew as hard and long as she could until her nose turned red, and screwing up her face, offered the tissue back to Nerfball. "Oh Nerfball you are so totally gross, but good job indeed." she patted it as it stuck it's tongue out and enjoyed the meal she had given to him/her.
"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.
Tayla hugged her pygmy puff Teacup. "We'll be playing a little bowling, Teacup. You like that right?" She wanted to see Professor Williamson was sure when he said the little pygmy puffs would enjoy it - but he was the Care of Magical Creatures professor after all, so he must know what he's doing.
Teacup bounced happily in Tayla's arms. That probably meant the pygmy was excited to roll and play. "Okay then!" Tayla said happily, looking around. "Let's go look for a partner..."

And when Professor WWW tried to run after it, it was all Elise could do not to giggle. He looked so comical, chasing after a ball of fluff. Maaaaybe she should help him... But before she could start towards the fluffball, he'd tucked it under his and and started walking back. Ooookay.
"Thanks, Professor," she grinned, taking the pygmy puffer. Now, more importantly, she had a bouncing pygmy puff in her hands.
Now Honey was having fun ROLLING until the human started chasing after her. Not her human nest person, the other bigger one. Being tucked under an arm wasn't cool and as soon as she got into humannestperson's hands, she began bouncing.
Could she maybe... roll some more?
Tayla spotted a young Ravenclaw who looked familiar and went over to her. "Hey there," Tayla smiled. "Mind if we be partners?"
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Jory watched as Nerfball hit the pins down. "Good job guys!'' he said to Alyssa and her Puff.
"Shall I make a try now?'' he asked as he took Furball down from his shoulder. "Ok, listen, Furball,'' he said to his little puff "Lets do this,ok? Try to hit as many pins as you can.'' He petted Furball. "Who knows, you may even get a reward,'' he added. Furball gave a high pitched squeak as if he understood.
"Here we go,'' Jory said as he swung his Puff back and forth. Release...annnnddd Furball goes airborne then hits the ground and starts rolling towards the pins. He watched some what anxiously as Furball neared the pins. One...two...three...four...five...six...seven!
"Way to go Furball!" he exclaimed.
Jory was so caught up in watching Furball that he hadn't noticed Nerfball was hitting over another team's pins. It was kinda funny- he hoped everyone would find it too and not to chide Alyssa or Nerball. Luckily Alyssa caught the Puff before he did more damage.

Vickers rushed forward and once again found himself trying to disentangle Hendrix' tongue from the bowling pins "Let them go Hendrix dont horde! " Or eat. Or whatever she planned to do with these pins.
He looked up to set his eyes on a younger Claw "I dont know whats gotten into her, earlier i could barely get her out of my pocket and now she wasnts to take every pin in sight." Was he partnering with anyone? He glanced at Kurumi's pygmy puff and all the other puffs that it looked to be racing against "I'm not sure if I have a partner anyway" he chuckled "Hendrix here seems to be following Kurumi's pygmy puff but now she's making her own rules." Namely hording pins instead of bowling for pins. "You can join us... well me." since he cant really speak for the others "I dont mind at all." he added with a small smile.
Hendrix was getting annoyed with the human. He keeps taking away her pins! But the crazed pygmy puff that started knocking down pins across lanes had the purple puff even more excited. Ohhh look at all those scattered bowling pins! Having forgotten about the struggle with her own horde she leapt out of Vickers' hand again and went bowling sideways across lanes plowing into pins whether standing or fallen, her tongue slithering across trying to grab as much pins as she can take on one pass.
