| | |  The Barn, Stables, and Pasture Area
 [OOC] :: For more animals, visit the Magical Creatures Sanctuary.
In addition to the Magical Creatures Sanctuary, there's an area set aside for creatures that would better fit into a barn, stable, or pasture area. These areas are all grouped together in one particular place on the grounds. The creatures found there also belong to Hogwarts and are cared for by Professor Barlow and her students. Often times, crups can be found playing happily in the pasture, or the winged horses can be found using the area to spread their wings and fly. Don't worry, they'll all come back soon enough.
There's a small section set aside to house materials used to care for these creatures. Before caring for any creature, be sure you are aware of how to take care of that creature and have the proper materials needed. Remember to put the materials back where you found them and clean up after you're done.
Quote: The creatures are classified under the following:
XXXXX = Known wizard killer/impossible to train or domesticate
XXXX = Dangerous/requires specialist knowledge/skilled wizard may handle
XXX = Competent wizard may cope
XX = Harmless/may be domesticated
X = Boring
Quote:
In this area, you can currently find the following species:
XXXXX
Not Applicable
XXXX
Abraxan
Re'em
Unicorn (brought from the Center Professor Barlow worked at in Nottinghamshire)
XXX
Crup
Hippogriff
Kneazle
Niffler
XX
Aethonan
Clabbert
Granian
Mooncalf (brought from the Center Professor Barlow worked at in Nottinghamshire)
Porlock
X
Not Applicable
PLEASE NOTE: Professor Barlow has taken extreme care to make sure all creatures in the sanctuary are safe for students to encounter. So as long as you use caution and don't act carelessly, you won't be driven mad by a Fwooper or scorched by a Fire Crab anytime soon.

Maybe he did, though. And her suddenly appearing at his elbow didn't help. "Erm... what kind of animal is a Toby? I have a rabbit named Titus. He's... a ninjavampirebunny. He's ferocious." And fuzzy. Sigh. Ladedadedaa. Cat had simply gone back to thinking about animals and treats. She didn't see that Mo was blushing, nor had she thought much about it to begin with. See, animals nuzzled their friends, right? Why did it have to be different for people? Then again, animals did a lot of things that people didn't do, so anyway.... why was she still thinking about this?
"Toby's my piglet. You met him in Diagon Alley." Yep. Though they had more than one piglet at home, Toby was the one she'd claimed as her own. "He was too little still to be away from his momma." Saad. "I still haven't met Titus. I think I need a date with him soon." She giggled at the thought of having a date with a bunny and then went back to visit the crup who was missing the attention. |

"Oh, TOBY. How is TOBY?" Mo was mortified that he'd forgotten the name of that pig, especially when he'd been so ridiculously charming when they'd met over the summer. Mo turned back to the crups and found Cat was right there.
He thrust the food at her with a crooked smile. "Found something. Now then... you want to date my rabbit? Boys aren't fuzzy enough for you, or do you just really like floppy ears?" Because it wasn't like Titus was good at conversation or anything. He crouched next to the crups and let his hands be licked.

Not in the least bit stinky either, nope. He always smelled like that special almond soap nonna Moretti made. "He's good, I think. Every time my mother sends a letter she puts a picture of him inside." That was cool. Good going mama!
"Oh, boys are plenty fuzzy enough. In fact, I prefer regular eared ones with minimal fur." Yep. "But I bet Titus is good at snuggling." Lulzzzz. "So long as he doesn't bite me, I don't fancy turning into a ninjavampirebunny. I like being a Cat." With that, and a nod, Cat held a handful of food out for the baaaaaabyyyy. | |

"It's a shame you can't have a pig at school," Mo frowned over that, even as he leaned in to fill the crups' bowls with kibble. Why not just let ANY animal in at the school? Why were rats okay but piglets NOT okay? HMM?
"I'm not fuzzy, though," Mo protested, sitting back on his heels and rubbing his hand against his cheek. Oh, strange. He was a bit fuzzy, wasn't he? Maybe he was TOO fuzzy, just like a bunny. "I have minimal fuzz and regular ears. You should nuzzle me sometime." Just an open invitation. NBD. He settled forward again, hand outstretched to pet the crup nosing through the gate. "I like that you're a Cat as well."

"I like that you're a Cat as well." "I know. I could have made him a little Slytherin scarf to wear." She grinned over at Mo and laughed about the image of Toby sporting Slytherin colors. SO CUTE.
"You are a little bit, yeah." Cat patted the crup who was much fuzzier than Mo, anyway. "But I thought boys like to be fuzzy. It looks manly or something. You should see, my nonno Moretti has a beard that grows really fast, sometimes he looks like Santa Claus if he doesnt shave it quick enough. The crup she'd been petting was now more interested in food then her so she went and sat next to Mo. "I'll keep that in mind." She laughed at the nuzzling idea and smiled. "Will you show me your pictures?" | |

"Will you show me your pictures?" Mo tried to imagine a piglet in a scarf, and... it was pretty stinking cute in his mind. Maybe he should look into tiny scarves for Titus, although his rabbit already had deep resentment issues about the clothes that Mo made him wear. The shoes were the worst. For loads of reasons.
"Fuzzy... is manly?" Mo stood up and brushed off his hands before returning the kibble back to its bench. He needed to wash his hands before dinner, which meant searching out a restroom in the castle. "I don't think I want to be that kind of manly, though. But yes, I can absolutely show you the pictures. I'll develop them, and we can hang out again sometime."

Cat shrugged her shoulders and scooted back towards the crup, but the little fella wasn't interested in playing. He was still eating. Eh. Oh well. Perhaps a visit for another day. She laughed as she stood and went to hang out by the door. "I don't think your beard would grow that fast." Mo Claus. Lulz. She was giggling.
She blew kisses at the crup and turned her attention back to Mo. Since they were both leaving, she'd wait for him, it would be rude not to, right? "Well I definitely want to see them. Just let me know when?"
And with that, she headed out the door. | |
