Kennedy had noticed João step closer to him. Was he using him as a shield? Because if he was Kennedy would most likely use him as one. He did seem older than him, so oldies before young ones, right? Right. Or maybe he was just really scared. It that was the case then Kennedy wasn't the best person to stand by since he was doing all that was possible to befriend the dragon.

He turned to Roro and bit his lip to refrain from smiling like an idiot. Roro was strutting like a gangster! Hehe. Then the dragon nudged him and...

HE LICKED HIS HAND!

Kennedy was never going to wash that hand again...Okay. Maybe he would because there were germ in Roro's tongue. But this was so cool! "That's a good Roro," he said. Yes, good dragon because he didn't eat his hand. "Now, show us what you got." But don't drag them, please.

Alyssa almost laughed when Ella proposed that they play catch with RoRo. She could imagine RoRo doing that....only the whole barnyard would be in total disarray, not to mention the chaos it would cause once RoRo started getting excited while playing catch. She was glad that her other team members disagreed with the idea.

"Okay RoRo what are you doing there? Playing push the hay bales from one corner of the room to the other? Is that your way of playing?" Alyssa asked the baby dragon as she continued to crouch next to him. "Do you want us to help?" Alyssa asked before looking up at her team mates and shrugging her shoulders.

"I guess we could just let him do his thing until he loses interest and decides to move on or we could try to pull him away, which I'm not too inclined to do, because he might not like us doing that. Any suggestions anyone?"

Sophie couldn't understand how they were all petting the dragon. That was so creepy and it freaked her out.

IT WAS A DRAGON!

She watched wide eyed as Alyssa crouched next to Roro and spoke to the creature from such a close distance. "Alyssa... I don't think this is a good idea... I mean, you're way too close!" Her FACE was too close to the DRAGON!

"I also think it's better if we let it do whatever it wants." Yes, Sophei was terrified of having to deal with an angry baby dragon. That didn't sound fun. Or safe.

Nigel was surprised by how afraid Sophie looked. "It's ok Sophie. I don't think Roro will bite Alyssa's face off just for petting him. Maybe Roro even likes being pet."

Then after thinking about what to do with Roro, Nigel started to agree with the group. "Lets just let Roro do what he wants. It couldn't hurt to have some bales of hay moved around the barn". Or at least Nigel hoped so.

As Tag,Anya,Penelope,Gideon grabbed a piece of the leash the dragon began to dance,skip,hop. Well, it was moving around side to side. The dragon was going slightly fast, leaving Tag standing a few feet away from it, just to be safe. And, why was Zack just standing there-had he outdone Tag and managed to lose his mind faster? Even though Penelope told him to grab a leash he just stood there. What was going on?

Whenever Tag's puppy walked weird,or slightly faster than him,Tag would pet his puppy,but this was not safe now. "RoRo, slow down buddy. You're err..getting exercise. Its good for you,see? Then you'll be happy and energetic and stuff..Once we're done you'll probably get err..a..err treat for being such a good boy." Tag said in a soft voice.Maybe telling the dragon he'd be given a treat for accomplishing a walk with them,will make RoRo happy and slow him down a bit.Maybe.

Doggy treats? DOGGY TREATS?

Roro was a DRAGON not a DOG.

He stopped abruptly and parked his big dragon bum on the floor of the barnyard. He was not moving another meter. This girl was TOO RUDE and thought he was a dog, and it would be better if he just refused to work with her instead of eating her. Because he really didn't like her anyway.

He felt bad for her friends.



Roro..... had started out liking this group, and now.... he did not, and his dislike of this group had everything to do with the yellow hooman in his face and touching his neck. He did NOT like things near his face, just as his daddy had warned them all already.

"EORRRRRRK!" the dragon screeched abruptly, popping his wings out and knocking over the Hufflepuff girl. He started flapping his wings as if he thought he could fly away and get rid of the hoomans that way.

THEYSHOULDNTTOUCHHISFACEEEEEEORK!!



Was that.... another TOOT sound? Roro froze where he was and then made a little squeaking sound that sounded like a dragon laugh. He shook his dragon head and thumped his tail again, hopefully not hitting any of the hoomans behind him.

He might have accidentally let out another smelly toot, too, as he picked up the pace to walk faster and to walk away from the scent he'd made.




Roro heard his loyal red person calling his name and tugging on his leash - a feeling that felt like a fly on his shoulder, nothing more. His Daddy had been working him and teaching him how to behave though, so he knew to slow down a little, and even came to a stop.

He would take pets now and treats now. Pets and treats please.




Roro WAS enjoying his walk, thanks for asking hooman! Roro shook his dragon head in the way a hooman would flip his hair and started sauntering at a faster pace, his long nails making a distinct click-clack sound as he started around the barn. He even let out an, "EORKORK!" every now and then for good measure.






Roro thumped his tail, excited suddenly by the scent of SOMETHING in the air. Hehe. TIME TO WALK FASTERFASTERFASTER! Wheeee!

He took off at a light jog and started weaving through the bales of hay, as if trying to see if the hoomans walking him could keep up.




Roro thumped his tail like a dog, the sound a loud BANGBANGBANG on the floor. Ahh, itch relieved. He felt so good right now. So good. Scratch felt gooood.

Standing back up again and straightening out, Roro held his tail up high and led his three hooman walkers on a nice little trip around the barn, going slow so they could take in any sights and sounds AND walking through all the rows nice and carefully too.

"Hi, there,'' Jory said acknowledging the new group member. "I'm Jory.''

"Alright, Nerida,'' the Puff said eagerly rushing over to her and Roro. Jory hardly had any time to grasp the leash when the dragon pulled on the leash. "He's getting impatient.'' He managed to get back in control of Roro but the dragon was still walking fast. "Hold up there, Roro,'' Jory said patiently and hoping that Roro wouldn't end up walking him.

Suddenly, Roro began thumping his tail and started a bit of a jog. "Uh oh,'' Jory though. Lightly, he tugged on the leash,not wanting to hurt the baby dragon but hoping he would slow down.

Vickers worked at a shelter?!
"Blimey, you've worked at a shelter before? Like, in the Muggle world or in the Wizarding world?" Chelle asked, suddenly interested. Boy, she sure was a curious kid.

Chelle giggled as Roro thumped his tail. That meant he's having fun, right? Then they went around the barn as Roro led them. He was walking with his tail high up, and he was going at a considerable pace. He sure was adorable, compared to the fact that he was a dragon. A baby dragon.

Chelle would occasionally give him a nice pat on the back. Towards the end, she even thought of giving him some dragon treats, but she wasn't sure if they had any. "Um, Sylvia, Vickers, do you guys have any dragon treats? I was thinking this little guy deserves some," she said, grinning. For someone who was so uncomfortable in the beginning of the lesson, Chelle seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Anya hand to half run in order to keep up with the little dragon. Goodness! That little thing could sure move! She leaned over to Tag. "You think Roro is skipping?" she asked her blonde leash companion.

She then blinked. Dragon treats? "What do you think they eat for treats?" she asked looking around at each of her group members. They probably should know. Since... Tag just promised Roro some.

Oh. And right after that the ickle dragon stop. "Was that it?" she asked. "Are... are you done already?" she asked crouching down near the dragon. "Or did Tag here just distract you thoughts of petting?"

She held a hand out toward the dragon's nose. Did he need to sniff her first? Like cats? After what she figured was a safe period, she pet the top of the dragon's head.

"I wonder if they purr..." she thought out loud.

Alyssa saw it coming but wasn't fast enough to duck RoRo wings as he popped them out and knocked her over.

"Oh Shoot!! I've upset RoRo somehow. I don't understand it. The Professor said that we could pet him just as long as it wasn't his head or his tail. I was petting his neck, but I guess RoRo doesn't like that either or the fact that I got too near to his face. " Alyssa apologized to the others while trying to hold on to the leash as RoRo flapped his wings.

Alyssa kept her distance from the baby dragon and tried to calm RoRo down by gently talking to it. "I'm sorry RoRo. I am a bad girl. I did not mean to offend you by getting close to you like that." Then Alyssa thought of something. If it worked for a Hippogriff, it might work for a dragon too.

"I am sorry, oh noble and beautiful creature." Alyssa said to RoRo hoping that he understood what she was saying.

So still holding on to the leash, Alyssa tried to keep eye contact with the baby dragon and then still keeping a safe distance from his flapping wings, kneeled down before RoRo and bowed her head while keeping eye contact with him. Worse thing that could happen would be that he ran her over....which she hoped wouldn't be the case.

Everything was going smoothly until Roro suddenly stopped dead on his tracks, as it thumped its tail and shook its head. “What’s wrong with him?” was he laughing, or was he having a bad asthma attack? That squeaking sound reminded him of old wizards.

Then it started to walk again, much faster this time. Mordred could swear that another TOOT came out again as his nostrils were filled with the smell of rotten eggs. “Eugh!” he said as he covered his nose with his sleeve. “Was that you, Kurumi?” because Mordred thought she was having a fart fest / competition with RoRo. Woops. Talking about letting it rip!

If she could, Sophie would have let go of the leash and run for dear life, but she would probably let her group down if she did that, so she stretched her arm and gave a step backwards when Roro flapped his wings and knocked Alyssa over.

"Are you okay, Alyssa??" She asked still grabbing the leash, but staying as far from Roro as she could. Whyyy didn't her friends listen to her?? Just because she was little, probably... sigh. "Now what do we d-"

THAT WAS NOT GOOD! Roro was going nuts there! Sophie quickly looked around, searching for professor Williamson. In her opinion, things were getting out of control there, so they needed his help, NO??

The young badger noticed that Alyssa was now calling the baby dragon 'noble and beautiful creature' and was bowing down. EH?? "What-" She started to ask, but decided to wait and see what happened. They probably wouldn't listen to her again anyway.

Stella had heard Addie's question to Roro, and oddly she was intrigued to find out if the dragon was going to answer. Obviously not verbally, or at least not in any language they'd understand, but there was every likelihood that the dragon would answer them somehow. His apparent personality told her that much. Any creature that could strut like Roro was doing wouldn't hold back in letting them know exactly how he felt. In fact, she grinned as the dragon had shook his head like she remembered some of the part-veelas had done back at Beauxbatons, the ones that knew they were better than you and you should be proud to be seen with them. It was amusingly cute on the dragon, even though she'd found it irritating on the people.

Of course, then Kennedy had instructed Roro to show them what he could do, and she'd turned surprised eyes to the prefect as the dragon had sped up his sauntering. She was able to keep up, but then she had longer legs. her concern was for the littler members of their group. Hopefully they wouldn't trip, although by now she was willing to literally pick Lily up if she had to. She wouldn't be able to carry everyone, though, and her gaze went back to Roro at the first of the 'EORKORK's. "Are you trying to make sure we keep up, Roro?, " she asked calmly. That was rather sweet, if that was the case. The dragon had seemed to like them, at least, so she was assuming the sounds weren't warnings of a negative aspect.

Kurumi stumbled a bit when Roro came to a sudden stop, moving a little closer to the baby dragon. She was a little closer than she had intended to be and was just about to take a step back when his super adorable tail collided with her shin and Kurumi let go of the leash with one of her hands to clamp it over her mouth to muffle a small whimper that wanted to come out. NO SCARING THE BABY!

Hearing Mordred, Kurumi turned her head to look at him while the hand that had been covering her mouth returned to the leash. "I think he is laughing," Kurumi giggled. "Aren't you, Roro?" Kurumi asked as she leaned forward just a bit to pet his backside....which ended up being a very VERY bad idea.

...........


VERY BAD IDEA!

Kurumi actually smelled it before she heard it and her gag reflexes took over, almost to the extreme. Leaning back as far as she could, while also being propelled forward by Roro picking up speed, Kurumi simply gawked at the younger Slytherin. "N-N-N-NO!" she squeaked. What ever gave him the idea that she would do something like that...in public!?

Laura looked at the Dragon and smiled. "See Zhenya when they realise you won't be moved they behave. "Laura smiled at Roro and petted his back. "Come on now Mr Dragon time to go for a walk, who knows you might see something or someone you like." Laura smiled, this dragon needed to walk. "You don't want to be upstaged by a dog do you?" Seriously this dragon behaved like a dog.

Minerva was listening to her group members as she watched Roro play with the hay when she noticed Alyssa talking with Roro, she was about to say something or suggest getting him in a different direction some how, but she was to late. Alyssa was on the floor and Roro seemed to be upset. "Alyssa are you okay?" She pulled on the leash, not to hard, but just enough to support the front while Alyssa got back up. She rushed to think of something that might calm Roro down and all she could think of was a lullaby like they did the first class. Minerva started humming twinkle twinkle hopping it might just calm him down enough to finish his walk happily. She glanced back at the other four, "Is everyone still doing alright? Leashes not to crowded back there are they? We could change up partners if needed." She didn't want anyone being to crowded and wanted the best ratio to make Roro's walk enjoyable for everyone.

O____O

Ella jumped when she saw baby Roro extend his wings and knock down Alyssa. Merlin's Beard! He was really strong! "Alyssa, are you okay? I uh-I think maybe just don't pet him up there anymore." She suggested nervously, knowing that the dragon's reaction had everything to do with not liking something the girl had done. And then Alyssa was complementing the dragon...did babies even understand what being noble meant? Ella wasn't sure. All she was sure of was that baby Roro was now flapping his wings to get away from them and if they lost Roro...O___o Professor Williamson WOULD NOT be happy. Ella looked at Sophie nervously, wondering if she was now feeling as scared as Ella was.

When Minnie started humming, Ella nodded her head. This had made Roro calm last time too, yeah? Well if it had worked last time, maybe it would help here too. The second year started to hum Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, hoping Baby Roro would stop flapping and relax again. Instead of responding to Minnie's question, Ella carefully took one hand off the leash and threw up a thumbs up. She was fine but she wasn't going to stop humming. Not until the poor scared dragon felt okay again.

Zack smiled as one of the other gryffindor and his fellow quidditchc teammate joined them in their group. It was so much fun to have all gryffindors in one team it felt like they were going to play quidditch again. He suddenly was having a feeling of flying on his broom. "Hey" he said in reply and smiled. Nevertheless, he knew his smile was not going to last for long because as they were talking professor had already given the instruction on walking the dragon. He flet his body getting cold every time someone mentioned the dragon.



What? Ready already? Zack just could not believe that they were actually going to do this. He froze on his place having no courage to move even a step towards the dragon. Who could tell if it was a baby dragon with that size of his? Was professor sure that this dragon wasn't going to hurt any of the students? What if it Zack was one of the unfortunate ones who get hurt in his horrible task? What would his mother do then? He really wanted to go to the common room bow and have some of his cookies send by his mom. He did not move even a little from his place getting colder every second.



No, Zack was not going to walk with any dragon. It was just so dangerous what if it just attached him in the walk. He could not trust dragond. Those dangerous creatures. He heard some one call out his name. What is wrong with every one? Why can't they see that it's a dragon and not their home puppy? He didn't even hace any strangth to move his lips after he headrd his name. He just stood still without moving.



He saw his teammate gather around the dragon holdoing the leash and asking him to join. However, all he could see was the huge dragon. Now pulling them! He couldn't make his teammates do this all on theor own he must join them. Before it was too late and the class was dismissed. He tried making sense to himself but all he could do was stare at the big figure.



He stared taking deep breaths claming himself down. He could do this it wasn't that tough his felloes could do this so why couldn't he. He gathered himself and told Okay Zack you're gonna do this no matter what. You will do this even if the dragon eats you up which sudden happen. But still you will do this. he daid and moved a step forward and stopped after hering his fellpow talk to the dragon. What treat? What are you gonna feed him Tag was out of his mind.



He was just about to shout at Tag on what he was going to feed his but then his question was asked by Anya. Thank goodness, someone else could think of that as well. Because if you promis something to a dragon they might want it later if they could understand you. Zack was sure that the dragon could understand because he slowed down. Was it the bragin or what? He could not understand. Now it was time that Zack did something for his team. He quickly went to the side where Penelope stood and holded the leash she was holding. "Hey" he called out to her little nervous and excited about what he was on to do. "We could hold this together?" he said and took the leash in front of her.

Oh No Nigel thought. Now they had a upset dragon to deal with. Nigel made a mental note to not touch Roro on his neck or above. He held on to his leash tighter so Roro could not run away from our group. "It's OK Alyssa we saw that you didn't touch his head, Now lets hold on tighter because we don't want Professor Williamson to punish us for a loose dragon"

After hearing some of the suggestions the group made Nigel agreed that trying to calm Roro down by humming sounded great. Nigel started humming along with everybody else hoping this would calm Roro the awesome dragon down.

Alyssa looked at her team mates and saw Sophie's terrified face. She felt really bad for letting down her team mates. She was the oldest and should have known better than to have gotten so close to the baby dragon and now she was attempting another stupid thing to calm Roro down, which from the skeptical look on Sophie's face indicated what she thought about that idea.

Alyssa knew that she wasn't the leader, even though she was the oldest, and she hoped that the others knew that. This assignment required team work and they had to all work as a team to get this task accomplished. Yes she had made a mistake and she was willing to try anyone's suggestion to fix it.

Alyssa sighed and stood up and just did what Ella and Minnie had decided they were going to do. Alyssa started to join in and sing with them. If a lullaby had helped put it to sleep, maybe it would also help to calm him down. She really hoped that Minnie's plan worked.

Silvia tightened her grip on the leash for a moment when they started moving, just in case Roro decided to go on a running spree; but when he proceeded to lead them on a nice, slow walk, she relaxed her grip a bit. This was nice, strolling on a cool day with a DRAGON!

"Um, no," Silvia answered Chelle's question, as they rounded another hay bale. "I'm not even sure what kind of treats dragons eat. I only have owl treats, but I don't think a dragon would care for one of those." Nope, owl treats seemed much too small for a growing dragon anyways. "I do think that he deserves one though, he's being such a good dragon," she said, also giving Roro a pat on the back. "Maybe we should ask Professor Williamson about it?"

Uh oh....UH OH! Roro felt something tickling his nose, something that was making him snort and sniffle... and the red little hooman that had gotten near his face was going to get the brunt of it!

"AAAACHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" the dragon sneezed, spraying out boogers and a massive amount of drippy, gooey snot that just happened to land all over the hooman named Anya. Lucky her! She looked like she was wearing a snot shawl now!

Actually she was lucky that Roro couldn't snort/breathe fire yet, or she would be toast thanks to that sneeze.



Roro was still very wary of this group of hoomans. Verrrry wary. The one he'd knocked over still seemed to be prone on the ground, from what he could see out of the corner of his eye. The hooman's words about nobleness and greatness meant nothing to the dragon for, after all, he was a dragon.

The singing, on the other hand, was a welcome distraction. Roro put his wings away, ignoring the light choking his hooman 'handler's were doing, and started to blink slowwwwly, more and more slowwwwwwwwwwwwly. He felt like taking a wittle dwagon nap wight here, wight now. Would anyone weeeeally care if he dwifted off to sweep?

He let out a little dwagon yawn and settled into the ground, swishing his tail more slowly now that the hoomans were being good and singing to him and stuffs.



Roro didn't notice that his fart toot had overpowered the hoomans walking him, because he carried on walking as if nothing had happened. Nothing to see here, nothing at all. Move along, move along.

If one looked closely at Roro's dragon face, one might have seen a dragon smirk.

The dragon was seriously not moving. He shook his dragon head and refused to budge because he was NOT going to be compared to a dog. HMMPH.

Well, so far so good.

João even LIKED to walk around like that. It wasn't boring at least, and he was seen with a dragon. A dragon that could understand them. A dragon that was almost a human, save for the hot breath and... about every other dragon-y features. Instead of being scared, he even CHUCKLED when it tried to talk to them in its own way.

It was curious how people grew to adapt at situations so easily sometimes.

He had no problems keeping up with the dragon, and wanted to communicate with it somehow, but he just wasn't that courageous. Maybe it would feel his want? If not... he would think of a way. He just couldn't let this chance pass without touching it somehow... a touch that had no teeths whatsoever.

Nerida said Wow. Should we move faster or try to get control of him... It was easy to get ahold of a dog, but Roro was not a dog he was a DRAGON, dragon's were really strong! Suddenly Roro's tail began thumping and he was jogging towards something. Do you think he smells something? she asked as she dodged a hay bale.

Ever since Roro had began jogging, hay bales kept on being jumped up on and dodged. It was a surprise they could keep up, for now but if Roro increased the speed he was going then they would have no chance!

Sophie didn't sing or hum with the rest of her group. She was just watching everything, with her big brown eyes on Roro.

The dragon seemed to be calming down... Sophie blinked a couple of times, watching as he yawned and settle into the ground.

Oh!!! It worked!!! She smiled at her friends and gave a thumbs up! She would have said something if she wasn't afraid her voice would wake up the sleepy dragon.

Phew! That was close!
