Minerva shook her head, she was super nervous about the dragon being loose and everything in her was screaming to go get Professor Williamson, but Lafay was a professor and should know what to do. So she turned and headed back towards the shed to get to gloves.

Before she could get to the shed she heard Professor Lafay ask a question. "It's name is Roro professor, I will be back as soon as I get the gloves." She turned and made it back to the shed. She wasn't even sure if there would be gloves in the shed and if there were would they be fire proof. She stopped and looked towards the hut of professor Williamson, she wished she was old enough to know how to do a patronous at that moment, because he was the expert on this dragon not them. She shook it off and went into the shed. Looking around she was about to give up then she found some gloves sitting off to the side. They weren't the prettiest gloves, but they would have to do.

She headed back to Professor Lafay "Here are some gloves I found." she handed the gloves to the professor and then put some on herself. She looked confused "Now what professor?"

Oakey watched as Minerva ran off and listened to Professor Lafay try and get Roro's attention. He cracked a smile, and attempted to hold back a laugh unsuccesfully.

This was truly a sight to behold. The Dragon Lady trying to call a baby dragon to her attention.

Maybe Williamson had it wrong? Maybe Lafay is this Dragons mother and she wants it to return to the potions lab with her and out of captivity.
he began to laugh some more at this thought and realized he was being loud...he covered his mouth and turned the opposite direction hoping neither dragons heard his outburst.

The baby dragon started backing up as soon as a tiny hooman started approaching it. "Eork!!! Orkork!" it squawked, getting softer as it blinked and stared at the hooman.

It didn't really understand what the girl was asking, so Roro just curled his wings in closer to his body and crouched down into the grass, appearing smaller

Roro wiggled his little hindquarters around in the grass, eying the BOY hooman that addressed him. He couldn't help but picture the yellow-clad child coated in some sort of barbeque sauce... he was HUNGWEE!

Dragggy.....draggyyyyy... the shrill octaves of an older girl hooman caught Roro's ears next, and he couldn't help it; it sounded like a momma dragon! The sneak peek Roro caught of the big girl hooman only affirmed his view that this was, in fact, a mother dragon calling to him.

Flicking his nubby, spiky tail, the dragon's little ears went up as the woman continued calling. Yesh Mama, do you haz foods? Do you haz hoomanburgR?

Merlin's Snagly Tooth, it was ugly!

She took a look at the gloves from the Wheatborn girl, "I have my own," then opened her bag, and pulled out her own pair, and some raw meat she'd gotten from the kitchens... you think the Potions Mistress didn't come prepared to tackle a dragon?!

Someone was laughing...

"Gunter..." She said softly. Well... she may not need the meat... this kid would be food if he kept bringing attention to himself like that. "You may want to stop laughing..." She thought about it for a moment and then said, "Or make your way to the dungeons..." Roro would follow.

She ripped a piece of the meat and then ripped it in two and offered it to Minerva and Oakey. "Let's get it out of the Sanctuary... it may... eat the other creatures..." yeah... YEAH! That was good. "We can lure it to my lab... because..." ... becaaaaause... "I have a dragon proof cage. Then I'll contact Williamson to come get it..."

... or what's left of it.

She then tossed a small strip of the meat toward Roro and waited for him to follow.

Minerva looked at Oakey and back at Professor Lafay. "Okay Professor, but the hut is right there. Shouldn't we just take it to Professor Williamson, now? The Castle is so far for it's little legs." She wasn't sure the potions lab was the best place for it and she was starting to get very nervous about what Professor Lafay was really up to with it.

Looking back at Oakey she hoped by her nervous look he might get the hint to find Williamson, but she wasn't sure if he could or not. She took the meat and started putting it down where the Dragon could find it. She felt sick trying to rip the raw meat into pieces it was super gross and she stuck her tongue out a bit, but her fear for Lafay was a bit more then her fear for a dragon, so she continued to do what she was told, but kept glancing at the hut hoping Williamson would see what was going on..

Oakey had indeed stopped laughing, like there was laughter one second and then it had faded away completely. He didn't want to be Lafay's or Roro's next meal. He looked at the baby dragon again as it eyed him...did it look hungry? Maybe it would be best not to draw attention to himself.

He moved over towards Lafay because he did not want to get detention for laughing. I-I'm Sorry Professor...I was jus-just remembering a really funny joke that Mordred told me. That was an awful and obvious lie, his best friend always tells him that "He doesn't joke." He looked to his fellow Puff Minerva and gave her a nervous look back, he also suspected some kind of foul play.

If she really did have a dragon-proof cage, then it most certainly wouldn't be in her Stock Room. He remembered the last time it almost burned down, and a dragon in there would spell danger again. You'd think she'd avoid having something that could potentially burn her ingredients as far away from her laboratory as possible. He didn't speak a peep though, no way was he getting a detention for this!

He took the dragonhide gloves that Minerva had brought out and slipped them on and grabbed some of the raw meat the lafay handed hims and began tearing it up and laying it down in a path towards the exit, making sure that Lafay was still standing in front of him. He had never thought of using such a dangerous lady as his in between from danger. Today was turning out to be very odd.

Alyssa could see Professor Lafay having some discussion with Oakey and Minerva about something. Then she noticed the baby dragon. Normally she would go over and ask whether anyone needed help, but since Professor Lafay was involved, she decided to steer clear from her.

Alyssa continued to walk past them and made her way to the tool shed. She took out some grooming brushes, a spade and a wheelbarrow. Placing everything inside the wheelbarrow, she made her way back to the barnyard

Roro's sensitive little nose started tickling as Mama!Dragon brought something out of her bag and tossed it his way. Why wasn't she tearing it up wif her big teef and feeding it to him directwee? Roro was a wittle disappointed by dat.

But still... the food stuff smelled NOMMY!!! Wiggling in the grass on his belly, Roro tried to be a stealthy wittle dwagon and one that could still eat da foods the hoomans were tossing out. He couldn't help that his nostrils started leaking smoke as he crept, though; it tended to happen wheneber he got esscited.

"Yawwwk!" Roro squealed a bit, sneaking over to fence and thumping his thick tail to garner their attention. Somebunny had to let him in before he could get to the meat! PWEEZ!

Minerva wasn't sure what to do. "Professor, I don't think he likes the meat. Couldn't we just try to pick him up since we have the gloves or something. I really think that maybe we should get Professor Williamson, the dragon knows him so it would go right to him." She looked at Oakey for help, but didn't know what else to do.

Alyssa was still puzzled by what Professor Lafay, Oakey and Minnie were doing with the dragon. She just hoped that Professor Wiliamson was aware of what was happening becaus she could still remember last term when Treyen and another student had tried to help Professor Scabior retrieved the Lolabug from the Sanctuary lake. Not only was Professor Williamson livid, Treyen almost lost the House 100 points.

Alyssa continued to keep an eye on what was going on until her view was blocked as she entered the Barnyard with her tools.

The little dragon was being SOOOOO CUUUUUUTE! Look at him wiggling around in the grass pretending they can't see him. He finished laying his last piece of raw meat out for the Dragon and looked to Minerva who was trying to convince Lafay that they needed Williamson.

Oakey looked back at Minerva with a look of confusion. He could tell she wanted him to speak up, I don't really want to speak unless I have to in her class, but Minerva wanted help and Oakey had to follow through. So he sighed. Ma'am I think it needs to be fed differently, we need a different way to bring him to your Lab. He said looking towards their Potions Mistress. If Minerva wanted to carry the baby dragon she could go ahead and give it a try. Could they try to lull the dragon to sleep like they did in class? Oakey really didn't want to sing though, he avoided the topic of lullabies unless some one else brought it up.

He turned his head quickly when he heard a loud smack on the fence! He had hoped it was Williamson come to retrieve his loose baby, but it was the baby dragon, he let off another sigh.

Alyssa exited the barnyard and wheeled the wheelbarrow filled with the horses' poop back to the pile of dung at the back of Sanctuary and emptied it's contents there before wheeling the wheelbarrow back to the tool shed. Taking out her wand, Alyssa used the Scourigify spell to clean both the wheelbarrow and the shovel before replacing them back into the tool shed. Alyssa then removed a broom and carried it back inside the Barnyard because she noticed that the ground in the stalls needed to be swept as well.

"No it's not. The hut has children in it... we don't want to endager them." She said thinking of her next move.

... The mordred kid joked? He just didn't seem like the type...

Stupid Dragon... can't fly, can't push the fence... How was she going to get him?

"Picking him up... Another way... Yes... I can do that..." She pointed her want at the dragon and cast a levitation spell... why touch that thing if she didn't need to... "Come on little Roro..."

Roro the dragon did NOT like being outside by himself, so far away from the food and all, but more than that, he did NOT like having MAGIC cast on him at ALL.

"EORRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!" the baby dragon squealed, louder than ever as his nearly first-year-sized frame was suddenly tossed up in the air. WHAT had he done to deserve this??! He'd been a GOOD dragon baby, he HAD! WHO was doing this??! WHY were they doing this??! WHY WHY WHY!

Roro kept "EORK!"ing and shifting his paws about, trying to get purchase on the air. That didn't work. Then he tried flapping his wings, trying to buoy up some air or something, or even better, trying to FLY.

Fly, Roro, FLY! Mummy dragon, come resqueue him! or, better yet, DADDY!!!!!

Minerva stood there frozen to the spot..She knew the dragon would be so stressed right now. She couldn't take it anymore. "Professor, stop your scaring him, there has to be another way. Please put him back down. He is just a baby." She headed towards the dragon, she didn't know what she was going to do and she knew she was asking fora death sentence standing up to Lafay, but she couldn't stand there and watch the poor thing upset and scared to death. "PLEASE PROFESSOR....Put him down. Let us get Professor Williamson he needs to get his dragon."

Oakey's eyes grew wide and his jaw dropped from his face as he watched Professor Lafay lift Roro with a levitation charm. The poor baby dragon did not look pleased one bit to be lifted in the air like that, he looked desperate to get back on the ground. The awful screeching noise did not help either, he plugged his ears quickly then looked to what Minerva was doing.

Was she yelling...AT PROFESSOR LAFAY!?!?! Oakey darted over to her side quickly and covered her mouth wit his gloved hand, it still smelled of raw meat and he would apologize to her later for that. Ma'am what I think she means is to calm it down some, he doesn't look very happy up there. Oakey would regret saying this. Roro likes being sung to, maybe you could sing it a song to cheer it up?

He released Minerva and spoke quietly through gritted teeth so she could only hear him. I don't like this anymore than you. There now she knew that he was on the same page as her. If Williamson is sleeping that screeching is bound to wake him.

So just go with it for now Oakey was not going to face Lafay's wrath.

She had to go up to his office/hut/thing and ask? Mehh. Penelope didn't want to see the hippogriffs that badly. At least not right now. She had chizpurples - er, chizpurfles to help remove now.

The Gryffindor listened and watched intently as Kurumi explained and then demonstrated how to remove the chizpufles from the kneazles fur. It occurred to Penelope that the creatures looked a lot like cats, and she then wondered if that meant cats were kneazles or kneazles were cats and whether that made her cat, Spot, one. She might've asked, but then the prefect was showing her the chizpurfles and the first year's attention turned away from her thoughts, leaning forward to get a closer look at the tiny little things known as chizpurfles. "Cool." At least to her they were. Shame they weren't purple though.

And it DID look pretty easy, removing them and stuff. Like there was "nothing to it," as Kurumi had said. Penelope was about to ask if she could try, but then another girl who appeared to be a first year as well and who seemed to know Kurumi too came over to them. Penelope stayed silent as they talked for a few moments, then frowned at hearing what Narumi said about believing the stories her brother told to scare her. It reminded her a bit of her two cousins. "You shouldn't let him scare you," she said, shaking her head.

Minerva felt a glove go over her mouth and she instantly thought she might throw up. She wanted to kick Oakey just to get the glove away from her, but knew he was doing her a favor. She liked Lafay and for the most part seemed to stay on the right side of her so she didn't want that to change. As much as Oakey was right she still couldn't just stand back and watch that poor dragon freak out. She didn't know what to do, but she kept glancing at the hut hoping Williamson would come soon or hoping another student that was walking around would slip away without Lafay noticing them and go find Williamson. "Professor, couldn't I just use my hands to carry him?" she asked a bit calmer and nicer then before.

Willy came RUNNNNNNING out of the barn, RUNNING like he was running a marathon, RUNNING like it was his last day on earth, RUNNING like he was being chased by a horde of zombies. His bucket of dragon food was bouncing around on his arm and splashing EVERYWHERE, mostly just splashing himself though, as he RAN and RAN to RESCUE RORO.

SPOILER!!: RORORORORORORORO

Fly, Roro, FLY! Mummy dragon, come resqueue him! or, better yet, DADDY!!!!!

"I'M COMING, BABY, I'M COMING," Willy hollered, dropping the bucket of food eventually and whipping his wand out instead. "FINITE INCANTATEM!" he cast quickly, causing Roro to rapidly drop out of the air. He quickly flicked his wand at the grass, casting a cushioning charm there, and watched as his precious baby returned to the ground safe and sound.

Well, at least physically safe and sound. He wasn't so sure the animal wasn't mentally damaged, thanks to his LOVELY COWORKER.

"HECATE!" William shouted, stomping over to his baby and starting to pat the whining dragon's little nose. "THE....THE HEADMASTER IS GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS!" And he would go to the Board of Governors too if it weren't ah, frowned upon to keep a dragon at Hogwarts.

Grr. "Are you okay, Roro?" he turned his focus back to the dragon. "I'm so sorry, baby, I'm sorry I was late on your feeding, and I'm sorry I forgot to restore the wards around your stall, and I'm sorry you were almost STOLEN from me!"

It was like every parents' worst fear coming true: the kidnapping of one's baby!

Minerva couldn't help dropping to the ground in exhaustion over the entire ordeal. OH MY GOODNESS HE FINALLY CAME she thought to herself in a rejoice and happy dance kind of way. She watched as Professor yelled towards Professor Lafay and she cringed at the thought of what Lafay could do to him and the dragon. "Professor is Roro, okay? We were just trying to help keep him safe." she didn't want him thinking that Oakey and her were trying to steal the dragon or anything.

She looked up at Oakey and smiled a bit hoping he would know she was saying thank you, but she would say thank you again later for shutting her up and keeping her still before she didn't something stupid, but he would pay for making her smell those horrible gloves.

She then looked at Professor Lafay and everything about the situation terrified her. She was just trying to be nice and help the professor and now the professor could either think they were helping or think they stalled which would mean she would be taking it out on them. Minerva didn't know what to even say to make the situation less stressful, so she just sat in the grass happy Professor Williamson was there. Maybe he would protect Oakey and her from anything Lafay might try to do to them for not getting the dragon into the dungeon.

Narumi smiled at the girl who had spoken to her, she appeared to be a first year as well. She giggled it sounded like the girl knew where Narumi was coming from. She said Yes, I shouldnt but my cousins like to support his stories, so it makes me even more scared! Thanks by the way! After realizing the girl did not know who she was she added Hi! I am Narumi Matsumoto! I am a first year! Looking down at what Kurumi was doing she added Is there more of that instrument or where we supposed to bring one with us? If they were supposed to have one then Narumi was so unprepared, majorly! She glanced over at the girl and asked I am in Gryffindor, are you in Gryffindor, or?

Prue's attention was diverted from the dragon's cries by the seemingly frantic screams of that familiar voice that belonged to none other than the Professor. She tried not to burst out laughing but couldn't help finding the situation extremely adorable, he really did seem to think that dragon was his child, and treated it as such. And Roro was adorable...

Flinching slightly she watched as the young dragon fell out of the air, relieved that he'd cast a cushioning charm before poor Roro landed on the ground. Prue immediately presumed that he would be quite grateful to his... 'dad' and all to relieved himself that he was once again on the ground...

She found herself flinch again as he started screaming at Professor Le Fay, she'd always had a rather large respect for her... not that she was scared of her or anything... Still the other professor continued his raging about going to the headmaster before she watched him calm down turning back to his dearest 'baby'.

She could tell why he was worried. "Um... professor they didn't mean... I mean they weren't trying to steal Roro..." she tried to feebly explain, but that was all she managed... crossing her fingers behind her back she hoped he wouldn't rage at her next... "Just is Roro alright sir?"

Whoa! Williamson runs really fast! Oakey thought as he watched the COMC professor barrel out of his hut splashing and spilling baby dragon feed all over everywhere.
WHOA! William would make one terrifying Dragon right now if Roro was actually his child. He thought next as he watched in awe as he screamed at Lafay for her kidnapping attempt.
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! His final thoughts were as he gave a Gryffindor girl what looked to be an evil glare (Oakey never gave these so he wasn't very good at them). THEY weren't trying to steal roro it was all Lafay she just roped in Minerva and himself with trickery and threats. If THEY were accomplices with Lafay it would most certainly be twenty-five to life in Detention or outright expulsion for Hogwarts. It would almost seem that Minerva and Oakey were Dragon Poachers. He was going to speak up and defend Minerva and himself, but Williamson was in a (kind of) rage at the moment and well Lafay was Lafay so he stayed quiet and continued a failed evil glare at the Gryffindor girl who had accused them of a failed kidnapping attempt.

Was she scaring him? He was being loud, but weren't all dragons loud?

"Wheatborn if you aren't going to help, get out of the way." She said frustrated.

"I don't sing. You sing. Both of you sing!" Merlin that screaching was getting on her nerves... maybe she should just silencio it...

"No, he'll set you on fire!" And then she would get blamed.

Oh Merlin's pants on a slimey stick!

Well... there goes the harvesting party she was planning tonight.

"What are you talking about Williamson? How dare you imply I was kidnapping your little monster! I was simply trying to protect the children from your dragon. You are lucky I don't report you to the ministry..." she smiled... it would be soooo easy to tell her husband who just HAPPENED to be the Minister, that the school was harboring a dragon (the legality of which she wasn't even sure of) and it's keeper just forgot to restore the wards around its stall.

... baby?

Merlin this man needed a woman.

"Go ahead Williamson. Go tell Tate." She said sweetly, but her anger came shortly, "And I'll tell him just how incompetent you are with wards!"

"Wheatborn, look at him. He's fine..." Merlin it's not like she spliced him right here!

Minerva looked at up at Professor Lafay when she spoke to her. "Yes Ma'am I see him." she had a terrified look on her face and finally got up to her feet again and moved a bit closer to Oakey. She stayed quiet the rest of the time, to afraid Lafay might turn on them.
