I think they eat pretty much anything she responded to Annabelle. Time for the hidden reproductive organ check, she looked at her pygmes underbelly and did not see what she was expecting. Oh great, does this mean I have to mess arround and look for it! . Olivia seached arround in his fur and found the organ near the back. |

"I think they eat anything they are in the mood for. I mean i haven't seen them eat anything out of the unsual. I didn't even realize Squishy was taller than Flippert till u mentioned it!" Then Annabelle did what Olivia was doing. She checked Squishy's reprodcutive organs. She found the organ near the back. Squishy trsuted Annabelle and knew she would do no harm. "Yup i found it." as she put Squishy down. Then she started running round in circles squeaking. "Hahahah you are adorable." she said as she went down and pet her. Sqishy started eating some grass. |
Ella's take on the squeaking Ella looked around as many of the pygmy puffs started to squeak. That was weird, why were they squeaking? And why wasn't Barnabus joining in? Was he broken or something? Ella almost shook him before deciding that was a bad idea. She frowned at him and whispered softly, "What's wrong little guy? Don't want to join in?" She then raised her hand, curious. "Professor-uh are they squeaking cause they're like...I don't know attracted to another pygmy puff in the room or something?!" Was it mating season or were the pygmy puffs just starting a mutiny or something? She returned her gaze to Barnabus and whispered. "Don't try anything funny." |
Selina rose her hand when their Professor asked what the little cutey puffs ate. Honestly, Selina knew what Owen ate, as to everyone else's puff...? Well, she could not be sure of that. Owen was sort of like his owner... he ate everything in sight. So Selina rose her hand and said, "My little guy kind of eats everything. I would have to say that the only thing I can be sure of is that puffs just sort of like food." |
Text Cut: iceblossom22 Sierra grew sort of wide-eyed when the Ravenclaw's Pygmy Puff began to jerk on the girl's hair. She might would laugh, but at the same time, she was too busy giving It (her own Pygmy Puff) a death glare. Honestly, if the creature pulled her hair, she'd probably pick it up and throw it across the room. Oh, right. They hadn't given their names yet, which struck Sierra as being odd. She couldn't believe they'd been working together this whole time and hadn't even thought to address one another yet. Maybe this other girl, Elise she just heard, was pretty much like Sierra. Sierra didn't go out of her way to make friends. She wouldn't normally ask for a name. "Sierra," she said. "Fourth year Slytherin." She watched as the girl tried to give her Pygmy Puff some lettuce. At least she'd also learned the girl was vegetarian. Now the lettuce and tomato in her bag made a little more sense. She edged away as Elise's Pygmy Puff started pulling on her hair again. "Maybe it's trying to tell you it's hungry?" she suggested. "I really hope it doesn't start eating snot soon..." |
gah! catching up + Kurumi in here too SPOILER!!: Professah Dubya Oh so they werent asexual? Vickers glanced at the contented Hendrix that has now returned to rest on his arm. Well he supposed if the Weasleys had trouble breeding them then a lot of it has got to do with the fact that they needed a minimum of two Pygmy Puffs for anything to happen. He was scribbling down notes from the board when he nearly fell off his low seat at the sudden shrieking squeak next to him. He stared at the Gryffindor Prefect-- no, she couldnt possibly be making that sound, but whatever it was came really close to her. He leaned to his side, angling his head until he could see the bouncy Pygmy Puff in her hands. It sure looked bright, but the sound good grief "I guess.... your Pygmy Puff is male?" Then he felt something digging into the front of his robes. He glanced down in time to see Hendrix' shivering purple furball trying to push down his vest. Hurriedly he fished the puff out and tried cradling it in his hands. Hendrix was jittery, and made many attempts to return into the safe folds of the Ravenclaw's robes. "Uh... I could guess that my Pygmy Puff is female." he said, noting the darker shade on the Puff's fur compared to the other puffs in class. And although silent Oh wait... there was another question posed by the Professor wasnt there? "Uh Professor, since Pygmy Puffs are minature Puffskeins, would it be safe to assume that they would also share the same diet? Puffskeins are not picky eaters and would eat just about anything, including uh... nasal mucus." Yeah try not to disgust half the class with something so unhygienic. |
Minerva was sitting listening to the students when the puffs began to make noises. Why were they all making so much noise. She looked down at the one on her lap that seemed to be sleeping, because it wasn't making any noise. "Your a good little puff." she pet it and looked around. She looked down at her parchment getting ready for when they talked about the magic power part of the research. |
Justin didn't have a puff and was glad of that. All the other little puff's were going berzek. Then he looked over at the quiet one sitting on Minerva's lap. Boy, did she luck out with the only quiet puff in the room he thought. Still he sat patiently waiting for further instruction. |
SPOILER!!: Anna Banana In between short blasts of pain, she noticed the Slytherin glaring at her puff as if to tell it not to act up like Honey was. Trying to prise it away from her hair, she sighed loudly before trying to get it away from her hair. Painful task, getting pygmypuff hands off her hair. Sierra, it was a nice name... And Elise couldn't believe that they've worked together the whole time and hadn't asked for each other's names. "Second year Ravenclaw," she smiled back. She wouldn't mind the two of them being friends, but she wasn't the type to force someone else into doing it. Another yank on her hair was it. "Stop it," she snapped, finally at the end of her patience. "Or I'll actually strangle you." Looking at Sierra, she nodded, seeing as she had a point. Why hadn't El thought of that? "I'll give you this tomato if you get off my head," she tried, holding up the redness. No luck. The puff just stuck its tongue out and grabbed the tomato out of her hand, remaining perched on her head. Turning her gaze to her partner, she sighed. "Help?" she asked, a little tiredly with a yelp as the puff pulled on her hair again. Her hands would have probably choked the puff had the Professor not been walking around the class. She didn't need a detention. |
SORRY FOR NOT POSTING SOONER! :( You guys rock; sorry if I missed anyone!!! Quote:

In responce to the professer's question Olivia said over her sholder, They eat lots of things other then boogers, they eat dust and little bits of food off the floor. They might also eat flys Olivia guessed the last one, but it seemed like it might be right.[/QUOTE] "I've never seen a black puff," William responded, "although yes, white ones are possible. They're like the albinos of pygmy puffs." He nodded at her answers about boogers and dust. "Good guesses. I'm sure they'll eat a fly if they're hungry enough." Quote:

"Excellent, excellent!" Williamson clapped his hands at the results from the tiny Hufflepuff. "I would say that pygmy puffs are, for the most part, vegetarian. They also tend to have a sweet tooth, as far as I know, but food preferences can vary from individual to individual." Just like in humans! Quote:

As for the squeaking.... "Just ignore that," the professor stated loudly, again with another glare at the squeakers. "It's just puffs getting excited about the other gender. No big deal." Nothing to see here. Move along, move along. Quote:
"Yes, pymgy puffs are vegetarian in a way, good....." As for the hair thing.... Robbie tilted his head. "Is your pygmy female? The puffs tend to nest when mating --- ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT MATING SEASON RIGHT NOW," he had to keep repeating that for some reason, "so yours MIGHT be wanting to make a nest." Again, now was NOT THE TIME for humming, folks and puffs. Why were all of his students searching for their.... organs now??! MERLIN THIS CLASS WAS GETTING WEIRD. Quote:

Now then, it was DEFINITELY beyond time to move on. "OKAY," William raised his voice again in a last ditch effort to gain the class' attention. "Let's have another group share their results. Anyone. About anything. And if your pygmy puff is squeaking, kindly take it outside, calm it down, and come back in please." |
The situation was becoming quite humorous as the squeaking pygmy puffs were causing quite the ruckus and Professor Williamson was trying his best to get things back under control. Maybe Ella hadn't been too far fetched in thinking a mutiny was on the rise. She looked down at Barnabus, happy he had decided to suppress any urge to join in on the mating call or rally cry-whichever the others were doing at the moment. She patted the little guy gently, thinking he had made a good judgment call. "I'm proud of you Barny. No need to act all wild in class-save that stuff for pygmy puff social gatherings." Where did pygmy puffs go to socialize anyways? |
Minerva put up her hand. "Professor Justin and I were doing research on if the pygmy puff has magical powers or not. We first looked into the animals that it might be similar to and figured out whether or not it had some powers the other creatures do. Once we determined that it did not, we talked about other ways we could try and figure it out. We thought about seeing about it's intelligence and communication skills with us, maybe placing things next to it to see if it might use some powers to get the objects away from it, and then we looked into the puffskeins to see if they have any magical powers. We noticed that they do not, so we are guessing that the Pygmy puff's probably have none as well, but did not get any further in figuring it out at this point in time." |
Text Cut: iceblossom22 Sierra looked over at her partner with wide eyes. "Wait--you want me to touch it?" she asked. Eww. She hated creatures. Why couldn't she just yell at it or throw a quill at it and scare the thing away? Oh. Right. A little thing called house points "Oh, well...fine then," she said and began reaching for the Pygmy Puff. Just before she grabbed it, though... Quote:
So as long as it didn't jump on Sierra's hair next. |
Keefer had to admit, this was probably the strangest Care of Magical Creatures class he could remember being at in several terms. What with all the squeaking and gender identifying, he was starting to feel a bit awkward. So, when Williamson called for owners of rogue puffs to step outside, he was grateful. He breathed a sigh of relief and began scribbling down the notes on diet that had appeared. |

But back to the pygmy puff discussion. Selena liked pygmy puffs. Could she volunteer that? Selena pet the pygmy puff on her head as she waited for COOL stuff to happen. Other than squeaky pygmy puffs. See. Kent didn't SQUEAK. He was very well behaved. |
As Alyssa waited patiently for the other students to present their findings, she started feeling a sneeze coming on. She tried to hold it in. First she squeezed her nose, and that stopped the feeling for awhile, but then it came back again. Then she rubbed her nose trying to stop the tickling sensation and was glad when the sneezing sensation went away. She smiled her relief and turned back to listen to what the others had to say. "AAAACCHHHHHOOOOO!!!"Alyssa let out a loose sneeze. She managed to cover her mouth before she sprayed everyone, but nose snot flew out of her nose and landed on her jacket sleeve. Before she could grab a tissue to wipe it off, Nerfball's tongue flew out and swallowed it whole. "Yech...Nerfball!! You're digusting!!"Alyssa told her Pygmy Puff. Alyssa raised her hand."Uh Professor, I can now safely say that without a doubt, Pygmy Puffs love to eat nose snot too." Alyssa told the Professor while checking that off on her list.

When Professor Williamson quite loudly stated that it was in fact NOT mating season for Pygmy Puffs, Lewis glanced around the room for a moment. Somehow some of the Pygmy Puffs hadn't got the memo, apparently. "Uhm, Professor? When IS mating season then?" He asked with his hand raised. For the Pygmy Puffs obviously. |
SPOILER!!: quotages Nodding shyly, she shrugged. "Could you?" she asked, not waiting for a response before she ducked again. "Thanks," she grinned as she noticed Sierra reach for the pygmy puff and... YANK! It wasn't Sierra, she was listening to what Professor WWW had to say. HONEY... Right. Demonstrate, she nodded as the professor said something about demonstrating and lunch. Turning to Sierra, she nodded, opening the zip lock and passing a leaf of lettuce. If this got the puffer out of her hair, she'd be beyond happy! Sheesh! Paying attention to WWW just in time to hear him start explaining why her annoying ball of fluff wouldn't leave her head, she groaned. "I think so..." she shrugged. It had a really long tongue, and wasn't as brightly colored as the others... I think... "Haven't seen it since it hopped onto my hair..." Trying to pry the claws off her hair, she managed to catch sight of the puff sticking its tongue out at her mockingly. Hurtful. |

Text Cut: icebossom22 As she reached for the lettuce being passed to her, Sierra hesitated just a bit. What she really wanted to do was grab the Pygmy Puff and remove him from Elise's hair by force. Coaxing this creature out with a treat was just not her style. Sierra even thought about her own method for a moment, considering it greatly, but eventually grabbed a hold of the lettuce. "If things bites me or starts eating snot, I give up," she said, making a slight face. A Pygmy Puff was so not worth this kind of trouble, and the way Sierra saw it, it wasn't her hair being pulled. She'd been asked to do a demonstration, though... Argh! "Okay, here goes..." She edged the lettuce closer and closer to the creature's mouth. Or where she thought the mouth might be. All she could see was a puffball of fur. She got the lettuce close then pulled away, trying to give the creature the idea that it wasn't just going to be handed this treat. It had to come and get it! |
LAST CALL for other inquiries/answers before we get to the ACTIVITIES!!!!! Quote:
"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.... Quote:
Quote:
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. |
Alyssa quickly wiped her nose to make sure that no other Pygmy Puff would be pouncing on her, than with the agreement of Taylor, she handed in her parchment to the Professor before waiting for instructions from him on how he wanted them to rearrange the barn. 'Class is not over yet? There's going to be more activities? Cool,'Alyssa thought to herself. |

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 SQUEAK! |
Ella smiled as Professor Williamson began to talk in his serious scientific voice, calling attention to the erm-nesting that was happening. She watched, thankful that Barny wasn't trying to nest in her hair! Especially since Ella's hair was long and thick and once Barnabus was in there-well, he'd never get out! It also looked quite painful and Ella felt sorry for the girl who was being yanked. She looked at the little creature in her lap again and in a serious tone said, "Alright Barny, now I know I said no funny stuff but I should have been more specific. Funny stuff includes nesting in my hair! Okay? Sorted." She nodded athoratatively at the little guy and then patted his head for good measure. She was becoming quite fond of him after all. She returned her attention to the Professor as he was telling the class to pass in their parchment. She assmebled her notes and passed them along, excited to get to do another activity before class ended. |
