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.

Elise giggled a little, watching the struggle between the older Ravenclaw and his puffer. It kinda reminded her of what Honey had been doing only about 5 minutes back. "Honey wouldn't let go of my hair for a while," she grinned, making sure that her puff didn't actually jump into her hair again.

"Thanks,"
she started, but was a little surprised when the puff jumped out of her own hands and started after the purpleness. Her hands flying to protect her hair, she shook her head and started after the puff before stopping. Maybe she'd come back?

Honey was annoyed by the human not letting her nest. She liked nesting early, but at least she could roooool! Seeing the purple puffy rolling sideways, she made as close to a sigh as a pygmy puff could make and jumped out of the silly human's hands. Now, to teach Purpley how to roll.

ROOOOOL!!

"SQUEEEEK Squeeek SQUEE MEEP SQEE-SQUEEK!!"
Translation: Knock the pins they're way more fun!

Tayla spotted a young Ravenclaw who looked familiar and went over to her. "Hey there," Tayla smiled. "Mind if we be partners?"

Turning away from the puff, Elise spotted a Gryffindor who she'd seen around a lot lately. "Hi," she grinned. "I don't mind! I'm Elise, by the way..."

Now, COME BACK HONEY!

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?"

Lily stood and watched as Keefer set up the pins again. When he returned he was introducing Lily to the slytherin girl. The little claw shyly looked up at the Slytherin as she was being introduced. "It's nice to meet you Sierra." Yep, Lily spoke really quietly to the Slytherin girl. She wasn't quite comfortable with older kids like Sierra. But she stepped aside to let the Slytherin go first this time. Respect was what mattered, not being the loudest greeter in the world.

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.

Sierra stood back, a smirk on her face, as a she watched the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff interact with one another. Leave it to a Hufflepuff to be oh so loyal and run and set the pins back up again. It was good to see the lot of them hadn't lost their will to work hard. She turned to the Ravenclaw with a grin as they were both introduced. Sierra wasn't the friendliest of people, and she could have cared less whether or not she was ever introduced, but she put up an effort anyway.

"It's good to work with you, too," she said. It just wasn't in her nature to tell someone it was nice to work with them. Turning back to Keefer, she said, "Yeah, I'd love to go first." Being last just wasn't in her nature either. She turned toward the pins, aimed her Pygmy Puff right toward the middle of them, and then gave It a nice roll. The creature rolled straight toward the pins, knocking over four of them a moment later. "That's four down," she commented.

Homework! I'm going to close class on the 29th, so start wrapping up your RPs. :)
 
Well this seemed to be working out nicely so far. The pygmy puffs were enjoying themselves bowling and the students, although some seemed bored, were generally having a good time too. William glanced down at his wristwatch while he passed by them and frowned. Where had the time gone?

"Well, class, you're more than welcome to finish up your bowling games, but I for one, am ready for a break. I'll go ahead and post your homework here now so that you can copy it down, but after that, you're free to go. Don't forget to take your pygmy puff with you though!!"

He smiled at the students and then flicked his wand at the bit of barn he'd been using for a board.

SPOILER!!: Homework!
Care of Magical Creatures Homework II: The Pygmy Puff Diaries

Your task is to take care of the pygmy puff you have worked with today in class, whether it is your own personal puff or one belonging to the professor. Take the puff back to the castle with you and take good care of it for roughly the next week (ooc: until the next lesson). You will need to feed it; record what it eats and doesn't eat; groom it; bathe it (if needed); discover its gender; give it some exercise; entertain it; introduce it to other pygmy puffs; and of course observe all of these behaviors in detailed diary entries.

For full credit on this assignment, you will need to record five separate entries, spaced out and posted here, with each diary entry linking back to at least ONE RP post in the school. You have up until the start of the next Care of Magical Creatures class to complete this assignment.

Any questions, feel free to PM BanaBatGirl. But remember, do NOT PM your entries; post them in the above linked thread as you complete them. Good luck and have fun!

This assignment will be worth up to 20 points.

WWW and Mighty Ducks :)
 
Ella was having so much fun with her group that she had almost forgot they were in class. She turned her attention towards Professor Williamson, wondering what he had to say. She frowned, realizing class would be over now. Suddenly, her frown formed into an O shape, surprised by what Williamson had said. They could take their pygmy puffs for homework?! This was wonderful! Ella could spend more time with Barnabus, a puff she was becoming quite fond of. She smiled, excited. "Do you hear that Barnabus? We get to spend more time together! Isn't that great?" She really was eager to learn more about the little guy and taking care of him would give her something fun to do. "Professor Williamson, this is so neat. Thanks for letting those of us without puffs use these guys!"

Then Ella turned to her team, wondering if they wanted to continue to bowl or pack up. "Hey Ducks, shall we continue the game or have you guys had enough?" Ella could keep bowling for ages but she knew they would have to head back eventually.

Kurumi's pygmy puff sure was quite the energetic little fella as it took off away from the girl and down towards the pins. "Nae its alright Kurumi," Gideon assured his friend as she appologized for the creature. He couldn't fault the puff for wanting to have all the fun it could especially since it seemed that it--Momotaro II just wanted to have a little friendly competion with Doyle. And whoever the Slytherin prefect's pygmy puff was as the other puff decided not to be outdone as well and joined the trio. Not to mention he doubted the pygmy puff would have any understanding of the term 'taking turns' even if she was to try and explain it to him.

His own pygmy puff was a bit more subdued then the other two though it might have been because it- Doyle was confused on the reason for it to have been disturbed. Or just more comfortable going with the flow or the way he was rolled rather then being forward on his own.

Roll....roll...roll. Okay....dizzy but having fun. Hearing the squeak of the other pygmy puff, he watched his buddy attack the tall objects. Doyle followed though slower managing to get one of the remaining pins down, colliding with it before resting on his back catching himself. Eeek!

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.


Now? As in right this moment? Kurumi shook her head. "No, but there are some in my bag," she said, pointing to her bag over by the hay. She hadn't thought of bringing them out right now since cookies would probably be nothing more but a distraction to the pygmy puffs.

...

Who CLEARLY did not need any more distractions than what they already had.

Rollin' rollin' rollin'....gotta keep on rollin'...rollin' rollin' rollin'.... SQUEEEEEEEEEE!

Momotaro II veered back around and rolling into the pins that someone somewhere had just finished setting up, knocking over 7 of them and taking a cue from another pygmy puff to use his tongue on the 8th and drag it along with him as he rolled.

Pins did not taste very yummy, by the way.


Frantic now, Kurumi glanced at Selena. "I-I probably should have explained that bit too." The whole only knocking down pins in THEIR alley sort of thing and that not ALL pins were meant for HIM specifically to knock down. Lesson learned. Once must be very specific when having a conversation with a pygmy puff.

Glad that Gideon hadn't taken offense to the, erm, pall of coral pink fluff, Kurumi tried to find Momotaro II in the mess in front of them, but it was sort of hard with all the chaos that was going on - not to mention people yelling distracting things like snot. Chaos, that is what this was, chaos and Kurumi took a moment to look at Professor Williamson to see that he was loving every minute of it. Well, that was good, meant that this behavior was perfectly normal.

Good thing Walnut wasn't here. Merlin.

"Brilliant, Doyle," Kurumi said, applauding Gideon's pygmy puff before spotting Momotaro II off to the side still with his tongue wrapped around a pin and dragging it around. Bits of straw and other....unsanitary things getting stuck to his pink tongue as he went.

"Momotaro II! Wait! Stop. Um...roll this way!" she called, once again giving chase to the rolling pygmy puff who had not taken to trying to knock over people. "People and pins are two very DIFFERENT things!"

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!

Rollin' rollin' rollin'....gotta keep on rollin'...rollin' rollin' rollin'.... SQUEEEEEEE HEEEEEE!

More pins more pins more pins! Spotting more up ahead, he picked up speed and raced towards the alley when all of a sudden. HEY?! He wasn't rolling anymore?! WHY....WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?!


Huh? Kurumi had JUST spotted Momotaro II only moment earlier but now he was gone. Standing up, Kurumi looked at the pins that the little creature had been heading towards, only to find that they were still standing and not a single pygmy puff in right.

Oh MERLIN help her...

Fudgesicle....fudgesicle....

Class dismissed, Kurumi searched the ground around her feet. Had she squished him under her school shoe?! Where was Momotaro II?!

"Um...professor," she said sheepishly. "My pygmy puff was a little too...excited about rolling and...um...I'm afraid he has rolled himself into trouble." Translation: HE WAS MISSING. Her bottom lip quivered just a little bit.

Alyssa was sad that class was over but glad that she'd get to keep Nerfball until the next class. She quickly picked up her bag and walked over to the Professor. "Thank you for another interesting lesson Professor and thanks for the loan of Nerfball. I'll take good care of him/her....and yes I'll figure out what gender it is by next class,"Alyssa smilled as she left the barnyard and made her way back to the castle.

Good participation, yos. And happy leap day! ^_^

"You're welcome, Ella." Williamson smiled at the Puff and her puff as he started stacking up the hay bales again. "Take good care of him, now!"

Hmm. Was that a flash of puff that Williamson had just seen roll into an empty stall?

"No problem, Kurumi, I think I saw where he went." He saluted the prefect and jogged off after the puffball, finding him in the corner of an abandoned granian stall, his long tongue going to town in an empty bucket that used to house sugar cubes.

Willy scooped up the puffball and balanced him under one arm so he couldn't roll off again. He passed Momotaro II to his owner once he was back by the bowling arena and gave her a smile.

"Nothing to worry about here, just be sure to keep a good eye on him for the duration of our project." And she probably would, after all, since she took good care of her cat. Right?

"You're welcome, Alyssa." William gave the girl a wave and finished cleaning up after the students, locking the barn once the last of them was gone.
