This wasn't the sort of visit Kurumi had intended on having with Professor Williamson, but given the circumstances and that fact that Walnut had already peed on two first years in the common room for sitting on his chair...there really was no other way around it.

So, with Walnut tucked under her arm, Kurumi approached the hut and knocked on the door twice as was customary to the Gryffindor. Please let Professor Williamson know what to do....

She also hoped that she would still be able to discuss her future in magical creatures...but Walnut's issues came first. Bleh.

William actually wasn't in his office when Kurumi showed up on the benches next to it. He'd been checking up on his little "project" out in the barn and had added more stones to support the roiling, boiling cauldron, only hurrying back to his office to get some burn ointment.

Dang those flames had been HOT.

He paused just outside the door at the sight of the Prefect and her cat, though, suddenly struck by an unshakeable feeling that this had happened once before. This had happened before, hadn't it? Had it? This WAS Kurumi and Hazelnut....er.....Pistachio....Cashew.... whatever her cat's name was.

"Miss Hollingberry?" he called out as he got up close to the door. "Can I help you? Two?" Er?

Standing up now, Walnut still clutched in her arms, Kurumi bowed politely to Professor Williamson and...wait...was that smoke she smelled? Probably just her imagination or the fact that the man was smoking hot, but Kurumi simply didn't think such things.

"H-Hello, Professor Williamson," Kurumi said nervously. She had really wanted to discuss what she could do to prepare herself for university and ask him for some recommendations...but Walnut happened. Several times. "It's Walnut, sir," obviously. "...he....he has gotten worse. I think he might be overly stimulated or stressed..." Or just angry at the world. "He has peed on...three, wait, four, wait, five people since the ride here."

Addie skipped to the magical creature dudes hut place. Not that she was happy or anything. Mittens was being naughty again. Running away. Not like Mittens at all, she was normally a good little kitty until Addie came to Hogwarts. Hopefully the teacher could help her with her problems. Addie walked up to the door and knocked holding tightly onto Mittens. Hopefully the cat wouldn't escape before the teacher came.

Willy hastily wondered if Kurumi was looking at him funny, or was that just him? Maybe he smelled. Too bad he couldn't do a fast sniff test right now in front the students.

"Walnut," so THAT was the cat's name. Right. How could William have forgotten that? He NEVER forgot an animal's name. A person's name, sure, people were a dime a dozen. But an animal???

Anyway. "Walnut is...has issues," he agreed carefully. "Why don't you go on into my office, Kurumi? It's unlocked. I'll.... try something new I learned over the summer on him in there." He gestured with his head for her to go in but remained outside, subtly slipping his burned hand into his pocket as another girl and cat approached.

What was with all these girls and their cats? Didn't they KNOW that Willy was a dog person?!??! He had a crup for Merlin's sake! Anyway though, he didn't discriminate against animals much. He loved them all.

"Hello," he greeted the Slytherin with a tight smile. "What can I do for you?" It looked to him like the cat was a squirmy little one.

The first year hadn't planned on coming to Professor Williamson for help. But her little Pygmy Puff wasn't seeming happy and what she'd read they were supposed to be bouncing bundles of love for their owners.

Alright. Maybe the whole reason she'd make the trek was because she thought Professor Williamson was well...really really pretty. Mhm. Well wrong word he was beautiful? No that wasn't it.

He was amazing and she wanted to just stand there and stare at him? Yeah that was more it. The first year skipped up to the benches and stared up at the doorway. Her Pygmy Puff Devlin sitting on her shoulder. "Now don't try and run off Dev" she nodded as she waited by the office.

Ella walked down to Professor Williamson's hut with Barnabus sitting on her shoulder. The yellow pygmy puff had been surprisingly quiet on the walk over but that was probably because he was still mad at the second year. She didn't care though, Barny punished for being so...so... self-destructive lately. She was seriously worried that he was going to hurt himself with all of his antics and so she was seeking out a professional.

Having arrived at the benches, Ella took a seat and noted the presence of another girl. Oh, she had a pygmy puff too. She looked at Barny, knowing he liked to meet other puffs, and frowned. "Don't even think about it. You're on thin ice as it is." She hated being a big meany but seriously, Barny's behavior lately was unacceptable. Looking at the other girl, she gave her a small smile before speaking. "Hi, are you having pygmy puff trouble too?" Because that seemed to be happening a lot lately.

Mika looked up at the girl with her yellow Pygmy Puff and then down at her own sky blue one. "Yeah Dev's been strange...I don't know what is up with him but its almost like he's a depressed unloving pygmy puff" maybe he was defective?

Now that wasn't a nice thing to think. "So - what is your guys name?" She asked with a smile.

When Dev spotted the other Pygmy puff the strangest thing happened. He felt nothing. He knew something was up so instead of going and greeting the other guy he just climbed into his owner's hair. There. It was nice and bright and yellow in there.

From there he climbed to the top of her head and stared out at the world, and the other Pygmy Puff.

SQUEAK SQUEAK it made a little call to the other guy. He was saying hello.

Ella's eyes grew a bit wider as she listened to the girl talk about what was going on with her pygmy puff. So Dev was acting weird too? What was happening with all the puffs lately? Something strange was definitely going on.

At the girl's question, Ella gently lifted Barny off her shoulder and placed the fluffy yellow puff on to her lap. "This little guy is Barnabus, his friends call him Barny though." She smiled as she looked down at him, despite the fact that she was quite angry with her pet. "Barny has been acting weird too. He practically ran into the Whomping Willow the other day. It's like he's trying to hurt himself..." Which was strange and scary. "What do you think is going on with them?" She asked, looking from Barnabus to the blue pygmy puff.

Barnabus had been sitting up on Ella's shoulder feeling quite depressed. Why was she trying to tame him? He was a pygmy puff, wild and free at heart, and he just wanted some freedom. Just a little freedom...was that too much to ask?

And suddenly he was being moved to Ella's lap. How nice for her, to be able to put him where ever she pleased. When Barnabus saw the other pygmy puff he blinked. Then blinked several more times. This guy seemed pretty depressed too. Was he in being stifled as well? As he heard his fellow pygmy puff greet him, Barnabus replied rather loudly. "SQUEAKK SQUEAKKK SQUEAKKKK!"

SPOILER!!: Pygmy Puff People =)

Annnnd what did he have here?

"Hello girls," William greeted the two chicas with their pygmy puffs in tow. "I see you've got some squeakers there." Squeaking quite a bit. So... "Did you both need something...?"

Ella looked up from Barnabus and turned her attention to Professor Williamson, a concerned look on her face. "Yes, sir. I'm sad to have to report that Barnabus...well I think he's going through a mid-life crisis." Sigh. How old was Barny any way? Ella couldn't be sure. She just knew he was a male and acting all loopy. Male+loopy=mid-life crisis, no? That's what her Gram thought at least. "I don't know what to do." She said defeated, looking from Professor Williamson to Barny.

Why had it happened to her, both pets of hers decided to act up and to her sister of all people, now she was never going to hear the end of it!! Nerida walked over to where hopefully Professor Williamson could solve the probelm. In her arms was Sky and on top of her head was Sapphira, who was in trouble and would not be called by her nickname Squeaky. Sapphira and Sky why did they have to cause trouble, dont get her started on the trouble! She gave a knock on the Professors door and glanced around looked like a lot of people had animal problems. Just as she walked over to the silver bench Sky jumped out of her arms...

Dev heard the other pygmy puff squeak back in response and knew this guy would be his squeakmate. He'd squeak at him whenever he got a chance. Before he could squeak back the Professor was there and the normally bundle of joy fluffball began to vibrate and let out a chirping noise. He didn't sound like a Pygmy Puff anymore, he sounded like an angry woodchuck - or a duck bill platypus.

Gaaahrrrrah he grumbled at the man.

Mika was about to tell Professor dreamboat about her Puff Problems when the other girl spoke and it wasn't long before her own thoughts were almost inaudible in her own little mind. The first year frowned when she heard the chirping noise. Every time - it happened every time.

"Professor - my problem is this...that noise." She admitted, "I think Dev doesn't like men - whenever he sees older men and Professors especially he just goes all...chirpy-mc-chirpypants on them and starts vibrating like a...like a something that vibrates" she was too frustrated with the feeling in her ear and the fact that her teeth were chattering because of the Pygmy Puff's actions. Soon he'd probably try and lunge at him - and she wouldn't want that. No, not at all. Not when it came to her futurehusband. favorite (dragon-raising) professor.

Daichi wasn't someone who visited a Professor just for a chat. So far in all his years at hogwarts, he had only visited one Professor and that was the same one where he was now. If it hadn't been for the second class announcement he wouldn't have even been here!

He wrapped his green and silver scarf tighter around his neck and after knocking on the door, he walked back and sat down on one of the empty benches. The Slytherin then pulled his plushed duck out of his school bag and held it in the air. Making "woooosh!" noises as he pretended the duck could fly just like at the feast.

Dale was sprinting. He'd gone from the Hufflepuff noticeboard and from there, at FULL SPEED, had sprinted to the Care of Magical Creatures area. Or the stories of this place he'd heard of about past teachers.

So. Yeah. Sprinting.

And effectively avoiding authority figures in case he wasn't allowed to run in the halls.

WHY was he running, I hear you not ask?

Because it was COLD. He needed WARMS.

Okay, a jacket or cloak may have helped... but that would be logical.

When he reached the CoMC officey type place, slightly red-faced and quite out of breath, Dale suddenly stopped. He tended to do that; starting and stopping suddenly. It was a good reflection of his personality.

So, now he assessed the situation. There was... the teacher dude here already. And other students. Logic dictated that he didn't need to knock.

But who needed logic?

Dale knocked, then smiled at the dudebro.

"Barnabus is going through a mid-life crisis?" Williamson repeated, not sure if that was entirely accurate or if maybe he was just hearing things... "I'm not sure your pygmy puff if old enough to be going through one of those, Ella," he told the Hufflepuff honestly. "Tell me what his symptoms are."

"Hello, Nerida," Williamson greeted the next student-pet pair and noticed there was a squirmy kitten right at the edge of the door. He scooped the cat up and rested her against his chest, stroking her back gently. "What's up?" With all the animals?

Ahh.... okay? This was a little strange. "So your pygmy puff is prejudiced against males?" Odd, odd animal. William eyed the creature and wisely decided not to try to pet him.

"What do you want me to do about it?" Willy asked awkwardly.

Willy turned his attention to his next visitor now; Daichi. Cute kid.

"Hey D, nice duck," he greeted the boy with a smile. "How're ya?" Any particular reason for this visit?

Dale knocked, then smiled at the dudebro.

And... yeah this one was different. William didn't recognize him and... apparently the boy didn't recognize him, since he knocked on the door unnecessarily.

"Hello," he smiled back at the boy awkwardly. "Can I help you?"

Sky purred as the nice man picked her up and started strocking her back gently, such a nice animal man...Not like some people, they didnt know anything about animals...

"Hello Professor Williamson," her eyes glancing at Sky hoping she didnt do what she had done to some unnamed students randomly and her brothers... She said "Um I have come for some..animal advice, you see Sky is acting strange, she will not eat and sometimes she will not sleep and she stays in the dark a lot and when my sister or me try to move her outside of the girls dormitory she starts atacking us. Also shes been bitting people, like some first years and my brothers and once me... Which was really odd because ever since she has had Sky she has never once bitten her! She really hoped this probelm could be fixed, or there was advice for it...

Now on to Sapphira...Now Sapp-Squeaky, remembering the Professor probablly only ever heard her call Squeaky, Squeaky which was her nickname. Um, I dont think she likes males...Male pygmy puffs that is, she loves human males but when ever she seees a male pygmy puff she goes crazy and not the lovey crazy...Can pygmy puffs beat up another pygmy puff?Well if they can I think thats what she was doing... Yeap, Nerida had very very weird and creppy animal issues...

"Oh. Okay." Ella frowned. Well if it wasn't some crazy mid-life crisis, what could it be! Maybe Barnabus was just mental. That would explain his recent behavior. "Well Professor, he has tried to hurt himself on more than one occasion lately! For instance, he ran right towards the whomping willow and almost got wiped out!" Which had been extremely scary and had almost given Mama Bishop a heart attack! "And then he'll go days refusing to eat anything, which is strange. I even offered him some of my used tissues..." She said, wrinkling her nose in disgust. "And nothing! He didn't want it." Seriously, boogers were like-Barny's favorite thing ever! If he didn't go for those, something was wrong. "I'm afraid he's gone off the deep end or something." She said finally, looking sadly down at the yellow pygmy puff sitting in her palm.

Hmm, well... the cat was being fine for Williamson right now, so.... he continued stroking the soft kitty's back, noting that she was purring. So far so good.

"Well... let's see, are you feeding her properly? Is she eating enough? Does she have a comfortable place to sleep? Does she feel special?" Cats were weird animals that needed to feel special all the time; and that was why Willy preferred dogs. "Are you giving her enough attention? Is she attacking your friends AND your enemies or is she just attacking random strangers? And what do you mean by 'attacking'? Biting, scratching, clawing, peeing on them....?"

See, there were lots of questions to be answered before Dr. Doolittle William Williamson could make a proper diagnosis.

Maybe Barnabus WAS just mental, but Williamson was still convinced the pygmy puffs were not of a high enough intelligence to really go 'mental.'

"Why... hmm." William reached out a hand and gently petted the pygmy puff. He didn't think Ella was the sort of girl who would forget how to properly care for her pygmy puff...

"Has anything significant happened in your or Barnabus' life recently that would make him feel 'depressed' so to speak?" Willy narrowed his eyes at the puff and then cut his gaze up to Ella. "For example, have you gotten a boyfriend that would cause Barnabus to become jealous? Did Barnabus have his eye on a certain female pygmy puff that suddenly expired?"

Hmm the Case of the Mental PP. He was on it.

"Hey," Dale replied. Then paused. And zoned out slightly, looking around eeeever so slightly as if the little dragon was nearby, which he KNEW it wouldn't be but... you know... lookedy look.

Oh. Right. This moment existed.

"Uh, yeah. Kind of. Um, it's not really help that I was here for. I just, you know... you're like... the Care of Magical Creatures du-... um... guy, yeah? So... I figured you'd be the best person to talk about, well... dragons."

Because yes.

"D?" was he calling him a D? what was a D anyway?!

Daichi blinked as he lowered the duck down, confusion was written on his face as he stared at the Professor. When it came to these nicknames, the Slytherin was a bit slow.

Shaking his head, he decided to smile back and act as if nothing had happened. "I'm...i'm fine..i guess, i don't know" he frowned as he looked at his plush duck. "I .. i don't really like classes though" wait, did he just really say that those words to a PROFESSOR? O_o "I MEAN!" the boy shouted. "Not that your lessons are bad!" he waved his hands and the duck was waving with them. "Although-i-didn't-really-like-that-dragon-and -youknowandyeah..." the last part came out as a fast mumble just like the time when he came to apologize for slapping the man during class.

"This is Mr.Duckles!" he said out of the blue as if he had gotten an shock and held the duck up for the man to see. "He's my BEST friend!" because having a human as a best friend is so lame!

Nerida glanced once again at Sky. Wow...That was a lot of questions. Erm, yes I am feeding her propely exactly what they told me to feed her...Sometimes she doesnt eat I try to get her to eat and she hisses at me. Does she have a comfortable place to sleep? Eh, I think she does, she sleeps there everyday...Shes moved it under my bed so its in the dark. Does she feel special? Of course! I think I make her feel special.. How do you make a cat feel special...All of the above, friends, enemies, and random strangers. Scratching and clawing. Shes peed on two people and her bed a couple times...

Laura walked upto the office door and knocked on it, she seriously needed to know if the Professor could help with her owl, now though she had to wait for Carigan and Lyssie to come so they could help her tell the Professor what was up.

Alyssa finally caught up with Laura. "Sorry about that Laura. I got waylaid by someone in the Common Room. Did you knock on the door yet? Is the Professor in?" breathlessly asked after having run all the way from the Castle down to the Professor's office.

"Where's Carigan? I thought that she walked down with you." Alyssa looked around before looking down into the box where the Owl was lying. "How is your owl doing?" Alyssa asked Laura. She knew that she was asking a lot of questions, but she usually got that way when she was nervous.
