*waits for more answers before revealing THE answer* :D SPOILER!!: Hermaphrodites HEHEHEEE "Actually... they DO have genders," Williamson told the class, glancing at the few who had thought pygmy puffs have both parts or no gender at all. "There are subtle differences in appearance, which I will go over in just a second, as well as more... ah, internal differences which become apparent when one dissects a deceased pygmy puff, for example." Not that, you know, he had ever dissected one. He had just studied about them in university. Quote:
"They act differently.... yes! Yes they do. You all might not have noticed it yet, particularly if you're a new pygmy puff owner, but male and female puffs DO act differently, especially during mating season! Good job!" He smiled gently at the Huff and looked to her partner. "Do you have anything to add, Lewis?" Quote:
The professor looked to the rest of the class.... "Anyone else have anything to add about pygmy puff genders?" |
Anything else to add about pygmy puff genders? Yes. "Male pygmy puffs are FLUFFIER than the female ones!" Selena exclaimed, one hand in the air and the other putting Kent back on her head. Selena was pretttttty sure of that. Kent and Violet proved it. Kent was fluffier than Violet was. And nicer. Because Kent let her pet him. And Violet... didn't. And she had proved that by petting Kent. So she'd never know if Kent was actually fluffier, but he looked fluffier. |
Oh no. They had run out of time. But she supposed it was okay since her and Edvard really hadn't been able to say that much about the magical properties. Hopefully other groups had been more successful. Listening as students shared their thoughts on Pygmy Puff genders, she snuggled the Puffskein as it was passed over to her. It was so snuggly, she wondered if she wanted one as a pet or not.Then she passed it along to someone else. |

And speaking of fur... "Or perhaps the texture of the fur is different." |
We diddnt get arround to discussing the activity, but Female pygmy puffs have a higher pitched squeek then males do. Olivia said as her pygmy puff ran along her arm.Oh, and whats the difference between a pygmy puff and a puffskien, besides their size. I mean, would a baby puffskien technically be a pygmy puff? |
Text Cut: Nessie Oh, so THAT was why she had been pouting?! Seriously? Again, and people thought he was weird. "I...don't know. It's not mine. I just picked it a couple of minutes ago." Lewis replied with an affectionate smile for the Pygmy Puff. Wasn't it just adorable with those huge eyes and all?! Then he added since it seemed to upset her so much, "Why, do you have a suggestion?" Just so to get this over with and keep on getting this answering those questions thing done. Alright, but back to work. He did act like a girl sometimes? And she didn't think that was odd. Or at least not exactly very useful information in this case. "Alright." After staring at her for a moment, Lewis shrugged and added it to the list nonetheless. Maybe it would be important. Maybe THAT was the major differences between male and female Pygmy Puffs. Not very likely but what did he know. Okay that reaction was...odd to say the least. Blinking right back at her, confusion plastered across his face Lewis waited for her to tell him what was going on. He really wasn't any good at guessing what was happening in other people's heads. Did she not like his idea? It would totally work though. Unless they accidentally put him somewhere with only male Pygmy Puffs. Well, then they'd know too. The plan was foolproof. Seriously? Alright, he'd have never guessed that that was the problem here. "I don't think I'm allowed to like breed Pygmy Puffs anyway." Lewis stated with a nod, in an attempt to seem reassuring. He wasn't going to take her Pygmy Puff anywhere. This was all just theoretical thinking. Right? Just nodding at her next comment, Lewis added No obvious physical difference to his list. Well, that wasn't exactly a lot they had there. And the professor was already asking them to tell the class what they'd found out. Seeing as Renesmee had started talking, Lewis averted his attention back to his cute little Pygmy Puff. Huh. Maybe they DID something to attract the females? Or maybe the females did something to attract the males. But then again they still wouldn't know which was which. And why the heck was Renesmee apparently unable to speak properly?! Quote:
Then because his gaze had dropped down to his Pygmy Puff and he remembered what he had just been thinking about earlier, he added, "Or maybe the males do something during mating season to attract the females. Like dance around them or something. Like a rooster." Looking back down at the Pygmy Puff, he added more to himself than to the professor, "Okay, maybe not dance." Because he really couldn't exactly see it doing a dance. Maybe it would flap its ears or something. |
sorry it took a little while:) Quote:

Alyssa didn't know which question the Professor would be asking next, so she quickly checked the list that Taylor and her had complied and got it ready just in case, they were the next ones to get called up. Text Cut: List of Food that Pygymy Puffs eat Unfortunately, they hadn't gotten to test more of the food on their list, but Alyysa figured that for now it would have to do. So she sat and waited with Taylor for the Professor to request answers from the next group. |
Butterfly and Professor Williamson SPOILER!!: Butterfly "Great!" Tayla replied. She took out her quill, ink, and parchment. "Hmm...I think they're adorable because...they're so small and fluffy." Tayla jotted down 'small' and 'fluffy' while waiting for her partner to share her own thoughts. When Butterfly did, they could pass their list to the professor. SPOILER!!: Professor Williamson Tayla pet Ronald as the Puffskein was passed to her. "Hello there, Ronald!" Tayla gave the Puffskein a little hug. Tayla looked up as the professor asked about the gender of their puff. She had no idea how to find out and so remained silent for a while, thinking. Her pygmy puff Teacup made a short sound, which gave Tayla an idea. "I'm not sure how, Professor, but I think you can tell the difference by how they sound when they squeak. And perhaps...their colour? They come in different shades after all... Maybe the darker shades are one gender, and the lighter shades another?" Tayla was thinking aloud and hoped she at least got close to being correct. |

"Adorable?''Jory asked "You mean the 'Puff wolfing down the apple?'' He grinned. "I've got a bit of potato salad and a chicken sandwich. I like to eat,'' he explained. Jory unwrapped the sandwich from the foil and broke a piece of the wheat bread and fed it to Furball. The 'Puff seemed to sniff at the bread for a while. Then to Jory's surprise, Furball turned away from him and wandered over to Sophie's 'Puff. "Bread's not his thing, or at least wheat bread,'' Jory said making notes. "Do you have anything else?''

Smiling, Sophie nodded again. "Yes! It's adorable how they eat, isn't it??" She giggled when he said he himself liked to eat. "I can see that!" She stared at Jory's Puff as the boy tried to feed it wheat bread. Oh! Furball wandered over to her own Puff. HOW ADORABLEEEE! Sophie couldn't think of any other creature that was cuter than these guys. "No, I don't. All I had was--" She turned her head to look at both Puffs and realized the chocolate frog she was holding was now only... half of a frog. "Oh, look! Look!" It seemed they did eat chocolate after all! |
Quote:
At Sophie's exclamation, Jory looked down. "Oh! Cool! They like it. I wonder why they took so long to eat it,'' he mused. Jory grabbed Furball and place him in front of himself. Taking a bit of chicken he held it in front of his Puff's mouth and waited to see if he would eat it. |
Quote:
Oops! They were so focused on their task that didn't even noticed when everybody around them stopped working. Sophie poked Jory and pointed to where Professor Williamson was. "I think we'd better stop now before we lose house points!" She whispered to her partner. |
Ella and Keefer hadn't really discussed the gender question as there was lots of talk about the name and about...tongues! Wait a minute...Ella raised her hand as an idea popped into her head. "Professor, could the length of their tongues help you to tell which is male and which is female?" It was a long shot but Ella figured she'd give it a shot anyway and waited for the Professor's reply. |
Alyssa quickly noted the possibilities the groups had to determine the gender of the Pygmy Puffs in her journal. She would finalize the list once the Professor confirmed what they were. She couldn't wait for the Professor to ask them to present their findings. |
SPOILER!!: Tayla "Because that look like pillows with faces..that could be a reason." |
Too lazy to quote..Professor W, and Lewis. xD 'Its not mine?' But the pygmy puff was he's, well at least for the time being. "Yeah, but still it deserves a name." It was only right. Could you imagine if you had to be nameless , that wouldn't really make you feel good about yourself."Its a girl right? So how about ...Cuddles." That was a cute name wasn't it? And the puff ball did look very cuddly. There was more and more confused blinking going on, and before Nessie could control herself she started to giggle. If Lewis thought she was weird before, he'd probably think she was insane now nevermind just weird. It wasn't her fault that she reacted oddly to things, it was just who she was as a person and if he didn't want to acept it, it was he's loss not hers..right? She was calmer now that she knew for certain he wouldn't touch her little baby. Even though puffles did annoy nessie a huge amount, she still loved him to bits and he was very special to her. "Good, because nobody is touching my Puffles." Yes she may have sounded rude, but she was just being protective. Why wasn't Lewis saying anything? Ness looked at him some more, trying to give him looks that would make him speak. He obviously didn't notice though. It was too late anyway, the Professor started to speak again. The way Professor Williamson spoke, made Nessie stare at him in awe again. He had such a sweet, pleasant voice and she liked it, just liked she liked most things about him. At least, even though she had stuttered what she had said was quite right. O__________________O He was talking about this mating season too? What was wrong with these people? Or worse, what was wrong with herself? Maybe she was the only one that found it weird, that's what it seemed like. Everyone else seemed to be alright with the topic, except her. At least Lewis started to talk now, but still they kept the mating topic going on. Seeing as she couldn't say much and she didn't like the subject , she didn't feel like listening anymore which was why as weird as she might have looked she took her two index fingers and blocked her ears. |
Sorry soo late ><"" Quote:
Annabelle smiled at Flipert. "He is kind of cute. Here i will let Squishy play with Flipert. She needs a companion." she said as she lowered Squishy onto the hay bail. Squishy seemed happy to meet a new friend. Quote:

SPOILER!!: Professor Zhenya's big eyes widened as Professor Williamson said they could try to make it to sell. "WOW! Thanks professor!" she said, super excited. Then she turned to Ira to exchange a giant smile. Now... what about their genders? She didn't really know anything about the anatomy of a Pygmy Puff, but she raised her hand anyway, "I don't know anything about their gender... but could they like different activities, or do they prefer the same sort of activities?" she asked. She knew some boys liked to play sports, and some girls liked to play dress-ups, but sometimes it was the other way around too. If the Pygmy Puffs did like different activities, there could be an observational tactic in determining their gender. |
Quote:
"Good one," he said quietly, nodding in approval. She was starting to come out of her shell a bit, which was good. He didn't want her to spend the rest of the year afraid to speak up in class... or afraid of older students, which was probably worse overall. "Although, if you don't fancy having their tongues snake all about, then I'm guessing you won't like having to check for length, either" he joked. |
Jory had failed to notice the class was answering question on the 'Puffs gender so he shut up at once. He didn't want to loose any points. But he still had the chicken in his hand (which he had now forgotten about) as he listened to the rest of the class and the Professor. When he looked back at Furball, he was just in time to see it turning away from the chicken. Jory gestured it to Sophie before making a note of what the Professor had just said. Quote:

and WWW Quote:
Messer's eyes went to Amelia when the older Hufflepuff mention about the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. "Yeah I can't find anything from them either." he mumbled. Then suddenly the Professor said that it was time for the groups to share about their discovery. Well, his group didn't work on the gender question so its not their turn. The young badger listened carefully and jotted down some notes. |
Quote:
When Jory finished writing things down, Sophie stared at him. "We should hand it in later!" She mouthed, indicating the parchment. The notes about what Pygmy Puffs ate and did not eat, she meant. |
Butterfly Quote:
Tayla wrote those down, too. Her pygmy puff, Teacup, made a tiny squeak. Tayla jotted one more reason down. "And they make sounds with tiny little voices!" Tayla smiled fondly at her pygmy puff. "I think we should pass this in a bit. Let's just add another reason maybe...Anything else?" SPOILER!!: Tayla and Butterfly's List |
Tayla SPOILER!!: Tayla |
