Not moving wasn't all that easy when she could clearly see everyone else had a little Griffin approaching them already. It was all about patients thought and Hady was doing her best. Her silence proved to work as soon enough a tiny little specked griffin edged closer to her appearing to keep her in it's sights. She could understand that, poor little thing was probably frightened with everything going on around them and being so young yet.

As it crept every so slowly closer Hady remained still. Well at least until she had the back of her hand nipped at. Flinching just slightly in surprise as thankfully the nip she'd just gotten hadn't hurt at all and she beamed down at the baby. "Well hello there..." she whispered softly reaching out and carefully picking it up. Doing as she saw Professor Thompson do she lifted it up and tipped him over a little finding rather quickly that she was holding a boy griffin. Good to know really as it made naming her new friend all that much more easier to do.

"Mind if I call you Charlie? I think it's suits you alright," she decided gently setting her small bundle of feathers on her lap and smoothing his head very lightly for a brief moment. He was just the sweetest little thing! However she needed to do as told and get this little guy wrapped up in a nice warm blanket. Flicking her wrist just slightly had her wand firmly set in her grasp. "Accio blanket," she cast firmly catching the item as it sailed her way with her free hand.

Setting her wand down right at her side she then went about lightly wrapping Charlie up in the blanket. "There you go Charlie, all nice and warm." Hady grinned down at her feathered friend.

Adi liked how Henric found his 'pretty boy' remark funny. He remained silent now, studying his friend for any possible signs of brain damage in case he had banged his head really hard with that fall. But nope! Henric looked fine as he busied himself with the Griffin... or Casper. "That's a really cool name. Watch out he doesn't scare you with his ghosty self.'' Hehe.
...................

Adi ruffled Henry's feathers as he held the creature in his left hand. Caring for any infant creature was practically the same as caring for human infants. He could see why Thompson had started off the class with that particular question. And the man was right. Henry kept trying to escape, yo! This was one of those times when he needed his very own invented Creatures' Calming Draught. "Come on, Henry,'' he said patiently to the Griffin as he tightened his grip around it but at the same time holding it gently. With a bit of difficulty, the Hufflepuff managed to snag one of the baby bottles which he then ensured was clean by casting the Scouring Charm on it.

Next, using the Levitating Charm, he got a great deal of the meat... whatever kind it was, into the bottle. Yep, he was feeding this still struggling to escape baby a healthy dose of protein.

Seemed like the baby griffin loved being called Chingu. Hehehe... Okay. Ooh, Professor Thompson had explained how to see the differences between male and female baby griffins. He gently caressed Chingu's feathers, then leaving his hand to the end and checked if it had stub or not. It has a stub so... Chingu is a male then. Male or female, he still called his baby griffin Chingu.

After he checked Chingu's gender, The Korean boy then summoned the blanket to wrap his baby griffin. "Accio blanket!" Then a baby blue blanket came toward him. "Oh, it's blue. I hope you don't mind with blue color." Blue was a good color though himself would choose dark red rather than blue. "I'm gonna cover you with this blanket, so you're not gonna feel cold anymore." He whispered and patted its head. Seemed like Chingu loved to be petted by him. Hehehe. Gently he wrapped the baby griffin with the blanket. Looks like Chingu loved the blanket, huh?

His eyes weren't on Professor Thompson, but Cutty was paying attention. Listening to what the Professor of Magical Creatures had been saying. His hands were busy, still scratching the downy neck of Phlegon. This gesture went from being done with both hands to being done with only the left as he reached for his wand with his right hand.

He concentrated on the spell and motioned his wand to summon a blanket not realizing he'd done it wordlessly. The soft blanket hit and then draped itself over Cutty's wand and hand. He deposited it, along with his wand into his lap and slowly, carefully swung it over the little orphan boy's back. He hugged the creature closer to his body and swaddled him more securely. Then as though he were handling a baby kitten he lifted little Phlegon into his arms.

It was time to get some food into this little guy. Hady shifted the bundle of wrapped up baby griffin on her lap a little bit smoothing the feathers on his head with one finger. Her gaze shifted to what her fellow classmates were doing to see which was would be easiest way to go about getting a bottle and filling it with the meat she needed to.

She had watched closely as the Professor had demonstrated how this was to be done. A little tricky but she was sure she'd be able to accomplish it. Raising to her feet she held her blanketed griffin gently but firmly to her chest as she went and collected a bottle. Shifting Charlie into her left arm she was able to get the bottle open, then came a quick casting of 'scorgify' with her wand.

A little more of shifting around she was able to keep a hold of a semi squirming about Charlie Griffin as she scooped some of the meat stuff into the bottle. A quick glance at it's contents showed her there was just enough inside the bottle and she was ready for the next step.

After he wrapped Chingu with the blanket, the Korean boy hold him safely. Seemed like he felt very comfortable in his arms, that's a good sign, right? "Don't go to sleep first because I'm gonna feed you with delicious meat," He whispered softly. Still holding the baby griffin on his arm, the Korean boy decided to summon a baby bottle. "Accio."

Okay. The bottle was here already! Be patient, okay Chingu?

He examined the bottle first. It's not cracked and cleaned... But better to clean it again so he was really sure that the bottle was clean and clean. "Scourgify." Jackson cast the scouring charm to the inside of the bottle. There, now it's clean and clean. Ready for the meat, buddy? He put the meat into the bottle. And then.. what's next?

With the baby griffin swaddled in his arm, Cutty put his wand back into his pocket and went over to grab a bottle. Carefully holding the griffin cub he unscrewed the lid and peered inside. It was pretty clean, but as he knew from potions class clean didn't ways mean sanitary or fit for consumption. So he drew his wand on the bottle. "Scourgify." He placed the cleaning charm on it and followed it with a heating charm to truly rid the glass of any remaining germs.

The griffkitten lifted and then pressed one paw and then the other against Cutty's chest letting a bit of it's claws out in order that it could cling. The boy made a face to show that that is what was happening, but he did not stop working, scooping a portion of meat into the bottle.

Now for the tricky part. Or so Professor Thompson had referred to it as. And yes, Adi could see the trickiness in that beacause Henry was really squirming to get out of his arms but hey, at least they could let the Griffin go for a while. "I'll put you down but don't go wandering off, okay?'' The Hufflepuff gently set the baby Griffin down and it promptly did a jump or two around him, AJ and Henric. Hehe. Such a bouncy little creature!

Wasting no more time, he pointed his wand at the inside of the bottle. This would be much quicker without Henry squirming around. "Incendio!'' Look at that meat cook, yo! When it was roughly the same texture as the Professor's, he stopped the spell them immediately followed that up with Aguamenti. Liquid meat for Henry! Ugh. Liquid meat did not sound too appetizing to him.

Now. Where was his Griffin?

Angel listened to the Professor and smiled this was going to be epic, she couldn't wait to feed the poor baby, she was sure that it must be hungry but first was it her or was it getting colder and she didn't want the poor creature to catch a cold that would just be so terrible.

Angel looked around and suddenly saw a blanket, though they were out of her reach. "Accio Blanket." Angel smiled as one came over to her and she quickly put it around her baby griffin. "I'm sure you must be cold right and we can't have that can we." Angel hoped that the Griffin would love the food she was going to get it next.

Hearing Thompson speak up about how to check if the griffins were boys or girls, Toby followed his instructions, running his fingers down Griffin's feathers from head to tail. Holding and tilting the creature, taking a look. Griffin was a GIRL. That was neat.

Toby gave her a hug. Just for being awesome. Though it seemed she was more interested in nipping at his ear and trying to climb all up over his head, a little like Staco had been as a puppy, actually.

"Ack! Griffin!" he giggled - yes, giggled... it TICKLED, okay? - squirming to free his oh-so-sensitive neck from those tickly feathers. "I gotta... get you a... *GIGGLE* ... Accio!" Toby had managed to point his wand towards the blankets and summoned one over while his Griffin baby crawled all over him. Maybe that's why she'd been drawn to him; they were kindred spirits with all the energy. "C'mere, you..."

He felt mean doing it, subduing Griffin by wrapping her up int he blanket, but he knew it was so he'd be able to feed her, and food was super important.

Marigold was loving this. Why had she failed this OWL??? This would've been a PERFECT job for her. Sigh. She could just handle muggle animals, then. That was fine. But she really liked magical creatures…was there a university that could take her and train her even without OWL scores? Yes? No?

Ahem. She cleared her throat. Lifting one of Godric's legs gently, she figured that Godric was, indeed, a boy. Nice. She put Godric's leg back down and patted his head. Yay. Godric was the BEST griffin out of ALL OF THEM. Not that this was a competition. Because if it was, Godric would TOTALLY WIN.

"Accio blanket," she said, holding her wand strongly, and neatly caught the blanket that zoomed towards her before dropping it. Oops. Gently gently gently, she wrapped it around the squirming Godric, and then scooped Godric up onto her lap and bounced her knee lightly. Babies seemed to like it, yes.

Oh. Figuring out the sex. Eden stroked the feathers softly and smiled...she lifted the griffin up and checked for...a "stub" right...and LOOK. HERS WAS A BOY. Well good, because she'd named it Hector. "HI there, Hector," she giggled a little and set him down, stroking his feathers some more. He seemed to like it, and was preening into her hand.

Cute griffin was CUTE.

She watched Professor Thompson carefully wrap his griffin in a blanket and pulled out her wand. She wanted to try this nonverbally first...lately, she just wanted to do it...and in seventh year, she certainly should be expected to do nonverbals sometimes. She squinted at the blankets....Accio blanket! she thought, clearly...and one of the blankets twitched, but didn't move.

Ugh.

"Accio blanket--" she flicked her wand in an annoyed way at the blankets, and one of them spirited itself over to her. Eden carefully swaddled Hector in the blanket and smiled because this was....an amazing feeling. Eden lived for this. Just..ugh. She loved it. "Ready for food, little guy?" she smiled when he squawked.

Okay, so now they had to- oh. OH. Toby made a FACE. You know the one. The face he always made when he needed to handle, like, icky gross meat and stuff. And it was... still in dead animal form kinda, which made Toby go a little pale when he looked at it. Oh boy. Nuh-uh. Not fun.

He took a moment, hanging back with a look on his face that said in no uncertain terms that he was not enjoying the idea of scooping meat straight from the carcass. But Griffin gave a squawk in his arms, and Toby looked at her. Was she hungry? She was probably hungry. And THAT was what she was meant to eat, and HE wasn't going to deny her that.

Anyway. Meat scooping didn't even need to happen just yet. First Toby needed one of those bottles. He picked one up with the hand that still held his wand, and moved it into the hand of the arm that carried the Griffin. Toby was basically a pro at this, kinda not really sorta, 'cause he had experience with Curtis. He'd learnt to be a little less clumsy when holding a baby human. And now it applied to baby Griffins, too.

"Scourgify," Toby said, pointing his wand into the bottle. And the outside. And the inside and outside of the lid part as well, making sure it was super clean. And then he repeated the process again.

Gotta make sure it was clean, right? Very important stuff.

Norah didn't pause her stroking of the little griffin's head as she listened to Professor Thompson introduce the rest of the activity. They were going to get to FEED the little cuties? Man oh man oh man this was the best day ever. She was pretty sure she said that every time she had this class, but it didn't really matter 'cause even so it was EXCITING when fun stuff like this happened. She kept one hand on the griffin as she pulled out her wand with the other, giggling again when it nipped her hand with its itty bitty beak. Cutie.

Aiming her wand in the direction of the blankets, she cast "Accio blanket!" and watched as it began to soar over to her...and fall to the ground halfway through the trip. Uh. Okay then. "Accio blanket!" she called, a little more forcefully this time, and watched it hurtle towards with more force until it hit her right in the face. Good thing they weren't summoning bowling balls, eh? The fourth year pulled the blanket off of her head and draped it over the griffin's body, pulling him towards her to wrap it all around until she was holding a little griffin burrito. She beamed at the little head poking out. Look. How. ADORABLE.

"Okay, Godric, you ready?" Marigold asked her griffin, smiling with big googly eyes, made especially for being nice to BABIES. Yes. "I know you're hungry, I'm getting you food now, okay, Godric?"

She picked up the bottle and, after a quick "Scourgify" inside and outside and on the mouth of the bottle, she was ready to tackle…the raw meat. Euuugh. Okay. She could deal with this, she could deal with ANYTHING for the sake of a BABY ANIMAL.

She scooped some raw meat in there, wincing at the smell and at the still wriggling Godric in her arms, before shifting the griffin to her other arm. There ya go.

Angel looked at the griffin as it seemed to be happier and was actually trying to show it's affection to her, she cuddled it so that it knew that she was there for it no matter what, she wanted to make sure that it knew it was safe and secure with her because well it was.

Angel grabbed the baby bottle that was near here and looked at it, seriously couldn't the professor have cleaned them before the lesson... well she would now clean the bottle herself, she didn't want her little baby to get hurt.

"Scourgify!" Angel smiled as she pointed her wand at the bottle and watched as it cleaned itself, this was so amazing... the whole bottle was soon clean and ready for her to use.

Raw meat...Eden was glad she didn't have a hatred for the stuff or anything. ANYTHING for a baby animal...ugh. So SO cute. Eden wanted to steal this baby griffin and hoard it in her dorm and keep him FOREVER. Was this allowed? Would Thompson notice? WOULD HE?

Probably.

Ugh.

She held the griffin in one arm, and maneuvered around a bit to grab the bottle, she uncapped it(skillfully, too, with ONE hand) because the griffin was struggling a good bit. "Heey....hey....calm down, little guy." She said in soft tones as she grabbed her wand and aimed at the bottle. "Scourgify!" she said clearly, but not too loudly. She didn't want to scare the griffin. It was ALL clean now...

"We're gonna' eat soon...aren't you excited?" she smiled down at Hector, who had begun to stare at her when she spoke. "Food....aren't you hungry, baby?" she was....really and fully enjoying this. It was bringing out...all SORTS of maternal feelings in her.

Norah knew it was time to go get the bottle and all that, but it was just to cute to leave, y'know? With its little eyes and beak poking out from the blanket, she wasn't sure she was ever going to be able to leave it there. Except she did. It was totally sad and she watched it the entire time she walked towards the box of bottles and meat, even though it meant nearly tripping over another griffin or two on the way there. Oh, the sacrifices she made to feed her little baby griffin.

She picked out a bottled and aimed her wand at it as she cast, "Scourgify!" and then "Scourgify" again. Aaaand one more time. "Scourgify!" She had to be thorough, okay? This was her little baby griffin they were talking about. It was the real deal. Once she was satisfied with the cleanliness of the bottle, the fourth year cast "Scourgify"' on her gloves before slipping them on her hands and scooping some raw meat into the bottle. She threw a look back at her swaddled griffin just to make sure he hadn't somehow escaped, then rushed back over with the bottle of meat in her hands.

Pulling her gloves off, she gave the griffin another pat on the head, and hugged him close. Yeah, yeah. She had to make the food and stuff but she could have some cuddle time too, right? They'd determined that was important at the beginning of class. So there.

Shifting the weight of Georgina to her left hand, Lux tried her hardest to keep the Griffin in a firm but gentle grip within the blanket. The escape efforts got a giggle. "Not yet, Georgina. I have to feed you first!" She was so gosh darn cute and it melted her heart.

With no small amount of difficulty she managed to grab a bottle and cleaned it thoroughly with Scourgify. There was no way that her little Griffin would eat out of a dirty bottle just like she would never give her nephew a dirty bottle of milk. Lux wanted to be the best aunt ever, and that wouldn't happen if she was mean and made the baby sick. She wouldn't make her Griffin sick either. "Let's get you some yummy food!" Nommy.

Raw meat sure looked gross. Making a face as she continued to hold a struggling Georgina, Lux carefully scooped some into the bottle. Since Professor Thompson told them it regenerated there was no need to worry about how much she took. "There," she said to herself as she took what seemed to be a decent sized portion.

Adi's comment got a laugh out of her. The griffins would make some pretty awesome unicorn hunting minions, but they were much too small for that now. It was for once one of the furthest things on her mind. Right now she just wanted to cuddle one.

Obviously Adi was still avoiding the problem, and she frowned at him. "Of course you do." He wasn't fooling her at all. It was sad to watch Benny be all alone especially because he wasn't anywhere near as outgoing at they were. Where was Angel? She figured her sister would be more supportive. During her internal struggle, she missed Henric falling over and their little exchange. They could have been talking about cars for all she knew.

They were going to wrap the babies up in their blankies and feed them from a bottle. Cuteness overload. This little activity only made AJ even more sure that the field she would be going in after school was the right one for her. Merlin, she loved creatures.

First things first. "Accio blanket." AJ grabbed the blanket as it flew her way. "Does little Brutus need a blanket and a snug?" Because that was what he was going to get. Gently, she wrestled him into the blanket. AJ made sure to wrap it nice and tight around his entire body. He looked as snug as a bug.

Angel had the bottle cleaned, she made sure that it was totally clean, she looked around to see where Benny was, she was going to spend some time with him after this lesson to see if she could cheer him up, he looked so down at the minute and she didn't like it.

Angel put the baby griffin down next to her so she could do the next instruction because this was going to be better with two hands than one, she was sure about that.

Angel added the meat into the bottle and then she took her wand. "Incendio!" Angel did the wand movement and waited until the meat was like the professor had told her it should be like. "Aguamenti!" Angel did the wand movement and added the water she stopped it before it over flowed from the bottle, she was now ready to feed her baby griffin.

So they were moving on.

Ben kept half of his attention on his charge and the rest on Professor Thompson as he explained what he wanted them to do to take care of their baby Griffins. It seemed simple enough...in theory and instruction. One just had to wait and see if it happened that way in truth since if there was anything he knew about babies it was that they could be unpredictable. His buddy Hiccup was already showing a little of that as he tried to play with him.

He was a he...the Gryffindor had already noticed something.

Slipping his wand out of his pocket, he began with the first step. "Accio," he summoned, watching as one of the blankets from the pile teasingly moved for a bit where it was before coming towards him. Ben grabbed it with his left hand and held it out for Hiccup to sniff. "See...safe..." he assured his companion while the creature examined the blanket. The sixth year then tentatively wrapped it around him before gingerly edging the half-bird/half-lion onto his lap.

The griffin sqwacked at his efforts, pawing at his human's legs before paying more attention to the blanket around him. Looks like Hiccup was curious too.

So next, she had to make sure the meat was...edible for the baby. Right. It needed to be watery enough to...drink. Well, that was super unpleasant, but Eden wasn't grossed out too easily...so yeah. She grabbed a glob of the meat and shoved it into the bottle....these bottles better withstand fire.

"Incendio--" she said quickly. The meat did indeed get all...melty...and she then quickly cast, "Aguamenti!" and using a mixing spell, as well, to help it out. All right. She had set the griffin in her lap, who was trying to get out of the blanket, but Eden quickly grabbed Hector and held him close, lifting the bottle a little.

"LOOK. FOOD, you little fiend--" she smirked as she teased the little guy, and his eyes fixated on her bottle almost instantly. "Ooooh you ARE hungry, are ya'?" Heh. That was cute.

As she gripped her wand and readied it for a spell, Kate's blue eyes flickered in the direction of the blankets. "Accio!" she said, and the blanket began its short trek to her. Once she had it in her hands, she began carefully wrapping it around the Griffin. This Griffin, whom she'd named Sparks for no particular reason, squawked, as well. It must have enjoyed the feel of the blanket, though, because it settled down soon enough.

"There now," she said, doubting it could understand her, "that wasn't so bad, was it? It's just a blanket, and it'll keep you really warm." Whether it could understand her or not was a moot point. It looked as snug as a bug and all ready for it's bottle of raw meat.

Ew, but whatever.

Angel was going to enjoy this next part, she got to feed Nibbles and she was going to enjoy every minute of it, she pick Nibbles up and started to stroke the blanket that had Nibbles under it, "This is going to be awesome!"

Angel took the bottle and started to feed Nibbles, whilst singing to him. "Twinkle, Twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky, twinkle, twinkle little star." Angel had heard that song when she was little and it had made her sleep when she had been younger.

Angel continued to feed Nibbles and sing to it, until the baby Griffin fell asleep after it had eaten the food, this was awesome and she had totally enjoyed the experience could she do it again please, like could she come back tomorrow and feed Nibbles again.
