Entering in the barnyard, you are greeted with the rows of gated stables. Those who have been in "The Stables" previously will first notice the absence of being first greeted by Winged Horses. Where could they be? Why they've just been moved even further down towards the opposite open double-doors for easier access. Instead of fully cleaned out stables before you however, you see new creature inhabitants. Some familiar-looking from earlier classes and outdoor playpens, some not so familiar-looking.. Nearby the stables you see the wall with pink-glittered gloves and apron by the refilling tray of food. It looks fairly cozy otherwise around here now.

That's enough, Jackson. Now he could spend more time to take care his baby griffin so that's why he brought a small ball to play with it.
Wait, Professor Thompson let the students play with the baby griffins, right?
Entering the creatures pen, Jackson walked to the griffin's stable and looked for Chingu. "Ya, Chingu!" He shouted as his chocolate brown eyes spotted the griffin that he had taken care. Glad that it looked fine. He cracked a smile and patted his head. "D'you miss me? I know you do." And it seemed like he's not the only student here since there was a Slytherin girl too.. Oh, he knew that girl. "Hey Noona." He greeted that girl (and for the record, Jackson insisted to call her noona because he couldn't pronounce her name correctly). "Is that your griffin?"
After warming her griffin up with a blanket, Zhenya decided perhaps she could feed the little thing, at which time she heard a voice behind her. It was familiar, and she turned around to see Jackson. "Hi Jackson," she said happily. Nodding, "Yep, this is Vaska. What did you name your griffin?" she asked, walking over and having a peek at the griffin. They were all just so cute! "I just want to take her with me when I leave. They're so cute." Maybe she could still come by next year and visit Vaska?
All the while, Zhenya had made her way over to a stack of bottles and grabbed one. Putting it in the hand Vaska was under, she pulled out her wand with her free arm and pointed it at the bottle. "Scourgify," she said, twirling the S shape and cleaning it. Now where was that carcassy goodness?

"Phelgon?" Cutty's voice called to his boy as he let himself in to see the baby griffin. He felt, shallow up, that we was being exploited for animal care labour and if he hadn't found the exercise useful in some way or another he might've been tempted to skive it off.
He entered the barnyard and saw that there weren't many people in here yet. Just him and a bunch of other Slytherins. Nod greeting to Zhenya and Ilia. Good afternoon, Snakettes. "Phlegon?" He called to the orphaned baby griffin. "Phlegonzo?"
Phelgz was still sleeping soundly in his bed growing and perhaps dreaming if baby griffins did such things.

He kept patting Chingu's head and chuckled when the baby griffin sniffed his hand and licked it. It seemed like his griffin wanted to play with him. The Korean boy then took a rubber ball from his backpack and gave it to him. "Vaska, cute name." He smiled to the Slytherin girl. "And this is... Chingu." He said while he watched Chingu played with the ball. He could say that his baby griffin loved playing with the ball.
"Well uh... can we adopt them?" He asked curiously. Of course he wanted to adopt Chingu and raised him until it grown up. While Chingu was busy playing with the ball, maybe he should prepare the meal for it. Grabbing the baby bottle, Jackson then cleaned them with scouring charm and looked for the carcass. Where Professor Thompson put them?

More time to spend with the baby Griffin? Yes, please!
Adi thought he would have been super excited to go visit his Griffin but that wasn't the case. Well, he was excited but just not with the 'super' in front of it. Long story short, he missed Benny. Still, he had woken up his usual time which was rather early in the morning and so he made his way down to the Creature Housing. It was possible that being around Henry would help.
The Hufflepuff walked towards the Griffins' assigned stabled, his eyes lighting up when he saw the babies. He was starting to feel better already. "Henryyyy!'' Where was that Griffin? Surely it would recognise him and his big mouth. There were some griffins turning their attention to him but they just gave him a look before turning back to whatever Griffiny stuff they were doing.
"Henry!'' Adi's eyes caught the griffin that was jumping towards him. He laughed, knowing that he had found Henry. The griffin bounded up to him and nipped at his fingers. "Heya, buddy! How's it going? I can see that you missed me.''
Squawk!
He laughed again. "I'll take that as a yes.'' Adi reached out to pat Henry on his head, coaxing him out of the stall and locking the door behind him. It was time to take care of his griffin!

Blanket in hand, Lux made her way to the creature housing. It was just after breakfast and she wanted to check on Georgina and give her some love. She had missed her little baby Griffin.
Making a beeline straight to where the Griffins were being held, it took no time for her to realize which one was hers. "Georgina! Haaaaai!!" Hehe, it looked like she was missed because she was greeted by a SQUAWK! and a baby Griffin was at her feet. Bending over to pet her, she received a few nips to the fingers. "I'm happy to see you too, girl." Giggle.
"Let's get you all warm and fed." There were provided blankets, but Lux had wanted to use her own; it was of course a Little Mermaid blanket. Only the best for her Georgina. Carefully she wrapped the Griffin up just like she had during the lesson. "Isn't that nice? Now you are toasty warm." Honestly she wanted to be wrapped up in a blanket as well because it was cold outside!

Ahh and another person had joined the barnyard. Another Slytherin, Zhenya noted. Cutty nodded to her, and Zhenya offered a smile and a wave. Back to Jackson and... "Oh Chingu, hello Chingu," Zhenya said, looking at Jackson's griffin. Zhenya just smiled when Jackson said Vaska was a cute name. It was, and so was her griffin. "I'm not sure... I suppose they would have to make sure we had an appropriate living arrangement for them first," she said. She could see far more things preventing them from adopting the griffins though, sadly.
Looking around, Zhenya spotted it. There was the carcass. She walked over to it, took off the lid of the bottle, cleaned inside the bottle quickly with the scouring charm, and spooned a little of the carcass inside the bottle.
SQUARK
SQUARK
Zhenya laughed at Vaska, who could perhaps smell the carcass, and was trying to leap out of the blanket. One arm came out of the wrap and Zhenya felt a soft clawing at her face, as the baby griffin tried to get a hold onto something to push herself from the blanket. "Hey Vaska, calm down, I'm getting your bottle ready."

Cutty ventured further into the barn until he got to the sleeping quarters of the griffins. Spotting the still slumbering Phlegon, Cutty stopped right in front of him and looked down upon him. The snake hovered there for a moment then bent down for absence of much patience getting face to face with the baby griffin.
Phlegon could feel a heat source coming from above and still being a baby instinctively knew he was vulnerable so the sensation jolted him awake. Getting to all four feet he backed away and uttered a sharp sound as if to scold Cutty for scaring him.
This response got an amused chortle from the older snake boy. "Coom. Lets get yer bathed."
Who needed to summon a blanket when she could just grab one of off her bed and take it with her. Actually this ended up being a good idea because it was a little nippy outside. So the sixth year wrapped herself up to the blanket that she bought out for Jean. That was not being selfish at all, right? She was braving the cold after all to go care for the little griffin.
Once she was inside the creature housing Cinna slipped off the blanket. "JEAN. JEANIE?" She headed over to where the griffins were. She spotted hers almost as soon as she got there. "Hey, there cutie pie." Hehe. She got a little squawk from Jean as a greeting. She bent down and petted the griffin's head. After she gave sweet little Jean some pets the sixth year took her blanket and wrapped it around the baby griffin.
Cinna picked up the griffin and sat Jean down beside her. "Are you hungry?" Probably so, babies were always hungry. Even cute little animal babies like Jean.

Keeping Georgina close to her, Lux grabbed a baby bottle. Not the easiest thing to do while holding a Griffin in a blanket burrito, but somehow she managed to do so. Look at her getting more practice in for when her nephew was here. She would be a pro in no time.
With a few good Scourgifies, everything was good to go. She even inspected the bottle closely to see that there were no marks on it. "I think this is as clean as it's going to get." Georgina let out another SQUAWK, which Lux was going to take as agreement even if it probably really meant 'feed me already'. Well, she was going to get to that part in a MOMENT.
Keeping a good hold of Georgina, Lux made her way over to the carcass. The baby Griffin was struggling to get free, so it was no easy task.
"Mmmmm, doesn't that look absolutely YUMMY?" With quite a bit of difficulty a decent sized portion went into the bottle. "Now let's get this all liquidy so you can actually eat it!"And it would be a big help if you stopped struggling.

While his baby griffin was busy playing with the ball, Jackson prepared the meal for it. First, he needed to grab a clean bottle. But he wasn't sure if the bottles were already cleaned so better to cast the scouring charm to the bottle. "Scourgify." And next, he put some carcass meat into the bottle and melted it. "Incendio." And of course, added some water so the meat would be more liquid. "Aguamenti."
Okay now, Chingu's meal was already prepared!
"Ya, Chingu!" He called his baby griffin who's still playing. "Guess what, I got some meals for you." But it seemed like the ball that he had brought was more interesting than the meal. So Chingu wasn't hungry yet, huh? The Korean boy then decided to grab the ball. "Well, I guess you need to be cleaned first."

With the carcass filled bottle in one hand, Vaska under that arm, and her wand in the other, PLUS a squirming Vaska at that, she couldn't do it all standing up. So Zhenya decided she would put Vaska down on the ground whilst she prepared the bottle. Perhaps that was a bad idea, because the baby griffin was wobbling about at her feet, clawing at her legs, and actually ripped her stockings. "Oh Vaska, chill out. I'm getting it ready, I promise," she said warmly to her griffin, who looked up at her and stopped trying to claw at her legs.
"Incendio," she said, pointing her wand into the opening of the bottle, drawing a flame shape with her wand. She held the small flame there for a few seconds until the carcass had melted. Now was time for water, of course. "Aguamenti," she said, waving a sideways-S towards the opening of her bottle, allowing a small amount of water to mix with the carcass. Putting the lid back on, Zhenya gave it a careful shake to mix water and carcass together to form a more warm, evenly textured meal.

Time to go feed Freddie. Kace liked last lesson because it went by so fast and plus he did something he loved. He was excited to know he could visit Freddie again and feed him. As he made his way down to the housing stables, he saw that others beat him to it. He saw Lux here of course but that was typical she always did all the homework assignments. He grinned and nodded to her and then made his way to find Freddie. He scanned and searched and then he found him at the near end. He smiled widely and he saw Freddie was sleeping. Awww he looked so cute! He didn't wanna wake him up but he must be hungry.
As he moved closer to the stable and his feet were shuffling in the hay, I guess Freddie heard the sound and Kace saw him jerk its head. He saw Freddie move his head towards him and its eyes went wide and it squawked and moved down. It was waddling over to meet him. He opened his stable and went inside with him and greeted him with a warm blanket. "Heyyy little guyy.." and then he bundled him up.
Time to feed this little guy. He was opening its mouth so it must be expecting something.

She would have to fix the stockings, otherwise she'd have to send off for a mail order of some new ones. That would be a pain, considering she was in her final year and wouldn't need school stockings after this year. Perhaps she could just charm them back together.
But more pressing matters were right below her; Vaska. She was still looking up at Zhenya, her eyes flickering between the bottle and Zhenya, and her tongue occasionally licking out. Zhenya let out a laugh and sat down.
Before she gave Vaska the bottle, she gathered the baby griffin up into the blanket once more, and Vaska willingly allowed her to. Zhenya then started to tip the bottle into Vaska's mouth, and Vaska happily ate her meal.

Putting the bottle away, The Korean boy then walked to his baby griffin who was still playing and grabbed the ball. "Sorry, Chingu. But the playing time is over." He said as he put the ball somewhere. "And you need to be cleaned. Come on." Then he went back to his baby griffin and held it in his arms. Lucky that Chingu was a good and obedient to him, even when he took the ball the baby griffin didn't cry and stayed calm.
Jackson then put the baby griffin at a clean floor then he grabbed an empty bucket. "Aguamenti." he cast the water conjuring spell. Then next he grabbed something from his backpack: a shampoo. Well, he didn't know if there's a special shampoo for griffin so he thought that using his own shampoo wasn't a bad idea. He poured some shampoo to his hand and used it to rub the griffin. "Hey, calm down Chingu. I'm bathing you here." He said when the baby griffin tried to move. After done rubbing Chingu with the shampoo, then he poured some water to the baby griffin and made sure that it's perfectly clean and no more shampoo foam left on the griffin's body. "Okay, now I'm done. Accio towel!" He summoned the towel that he had prepared to then using it to dry Chingu's body.

Luckily for this Gryffindor, visiting the Creature Housing pens wasn't anything out of his way. Zander made a point to check this place routinely, seeing as his cruppy Azalea lived here. So after visiting his crup, he almost began walking back up towards the castle out of habit. But thank Merlin, he caught himself before he had gotten too far. That was close. He would've had to make ANOTHER trip over and that was just a lot of walking to do for one homework assignment, y'know?
But anyways, he was here to take care of the baby griffin. Check to see if it was still alive and well. Feed it and stuff. Y'know only the usual baby griffin stuff.
Peeking around the corner, the Gryffindor began looking around at all the little griffins that happened to be sleeping in the area. Huh... That one wasn't his... Not that one either... And not--OH! That one was his!
... Of course it was the only one jumping around making a scene. Merlin. How come Zander got stuck with the hyperactive griffin child? Sweet Merlin. "You've gotta work with me here, Dory. Okay?" Zander stared down at his griffin trying to give him a stern look. Please play nice baby griffin.

Toby was glad he'd be getting to see Griffin again. Really, this whole thing didn't even count as homework, as he probably would have been down here anyway to come see her and feed her and basically pay a lot of attention to her. Only problem was that he constantly in such a high state of anxiety, especially when it came to the creatures. Toby had actually made sure that Bludger AND Staco AND Lala all stayed at home, now, after hearing about all the missing pets from people on the common room and all that trouble with the Hippogriffs, and Pebbles, of course. He'd asked if Griffin could go there too, but that had been a resolute 'no' from all involved. Completely unfair, if you asked him.
But all it meant was that he'd come by check on her every day, and he could cope with that. Honestly, Toby would sleep out here with the creatures if he'd been allowed to (he wasn't). He entered the creature housing now, heading straight to the stable that held Griffin.
"Hey, little Griff!" he Hufflepuff grinned, able to forget all his anxieties and worries and sads for the moment, because his happy baby Griffin seemed thrilled to see him, and the feeling was mutual. Toby joined her in the stable and went straight down to his knees, and she all but tackled him in greeting. He lifted her up, cradling her like a baby, so she looked up at him, and allowed her to stick her beak in his ear. Just for a second though, because giggling happened. "Gah! Griffin, noohohohohooooo," Toby laughed, angling his head away from her before whispering, "I told you. I'm super ticklish."
He wasn't mad, though. Of course not. Griffin was adorable, and Toby couldn't help but grin at the way she squawked cheerfully up at him. Creatures made everything better, even when you were spiralling into emotional turmoil and things looked less hopeful by the day, y'know? Baby creatures especially, 'cause they were super cute.
Toby kissing Griffin lightly on the head. He wondered what it would take to be able to keep her.

IT WAS TIME TO BE REUNITED WITH HER LITTLE GRIFFIN BABY.
Sophie Brown was VERY excited for this reunion and it SHOWED ON HER FACE as she entered the creature housing area and passed the gated stables hurriedly, searching for where the griffins were being held - aaaand HERE THEY WERE!
Most of them were sleeping, though a few were being rowdy with each other. The sixth year immediately looked for her griffin in the active bunch, very well reminded of Genevieve's feisty nature during class and... just as she suspected, there was her griffin baby being an instigator and picking on a fellow griffin baby who was significantly bigger than her already.
Sophie was actually pretty proud.
She gathered necessary caretaking supplies - including gathering some raw meat in a bottle - and set them aside where she planned on tending to the griffin before creeping over toward the little creatures. "Genevieeeeve, come see your favorite student caretaker," Sophie greeted the griffin, gently lifting the small griffin from the group and carrying her off to the side, unfazed by the griffin's gnawing on her hair as they went. It didn't hurt - it was more annoying than anything - and Soph got cozy on the floor with Genevieve in her lap, already picking up a blanket and making it cozy around the little baby creature's body.
Giving its head an affectionate ruffle, Sophie let Genevieve get comfortable in her lap and do what it needed to be ready for feeding time. The BEST TIME OF THE DAY.

Somehow Lux manged to point her wand into the bottle. Georgina wasn't making it easy but at least she hadn't poked the baby Griffin in the eye on accident or something. That would have been so horrible. "Okay, I'm just going to heat it up now," she said to her Griffin as she continued struggling to get free. "Incendio!" That was immediately followed by an, "Aguamenti!"
There. Done.
SQUAWK! SQUAWK! SQUAAAAAWK!!
Giggle. Someone sure knew that it was feeding time. Lux managed to get Georgina in the feeding position. "I know you can't wait for more because it was so yummy." As she fed the Griffin, Lux began humming a bit of a lullaby. That had worked great in class, and maybe her baby Griffin would have another nap once she was full. It was important for babies to get a lot of sleep so that they could grow and be healthy. Not sleeping was bad for anyone, especially when they were young.
"Oooh, I bet that is so yummy. I totally wish I could have some delicious food too." Of course she would rather have some Chocolate Frogs or cucumber sandwiches.

Zhenya watched as Vaska gobbled up all the regurgitated melted liquidy warm carcass goodness. She seemed to be devouring it with intense concentration, which made Zhenya smile. Even though it was quite odd watching something so small consume something so... gross, it was cute. Quite cute. Once Vaska had almost finished the bottle, she stopped drinking and turned away from the bottle. Zhenya assumed that was just her telling Zhenya she was full. She put the bottle down, which she would clean later.
But now was time to clean the baby griffin, who was looking tired, but now quite asleep. Zhenya fetched a towel, bucket and a squeeze of soap. "Aguamenti," she said, pointing her wand into the bucket. "Finite," she said once there was enough water in there. "Incendio," she said, producing a small flame, away from her griffin, just to warm the water up enough so that it wasn't awfully cold for the poor baby griffin. She put her hand in there and felt that it was a good temperature. With that done, the drop of soap had bubbled slightly, and Zhenya dunked one of the towels in the water. "Here we go Vaska, going to give you a bit of a wipe down. You've got dinner all over your cute little face." She used it to wipe away the leftover carcass from Vaska's face, which the griffin allowed her to do, then she finished by giving her a top to bottom wipe down and dry. "You don't mind that, do you Vaska?"

Riiiiiiiiight. So maybe the stern staring was pointless. It seemed as much, anyways. Dory was getting absolutely nothing from it. OI, teeth off the shoes for the love of Merlin. Zander was already having regrets. Merlin. Still, the Gryffindor bent down to scoop his baby Griffin off the ground. They'd just have to walk over and sit down riiiiight....
Here.
Here because his griffin was starting to get restless again. Not because he liked this spot. Though, it actually wasn't a bad spot or anything. Just needed everyone to know that it wasn't a choice he actively made. It was a decision forced upon him.
Ahem.
Anyways. Zander didn't have to summon a blanket this time around, as luckily, he had remembered to bring one with him this time. So slowly reaching into his bag, Zander pulled out a small, comfy blanket. He made sure to bring an extra soft one thinking maybe that'd help with the whole 'put him to sleep' situation he was hoping for. Ahem. Heh. Nice thinking, right???? It had taken him a bit to think that one up.
Carefully, he began wrapping the blanket around the Griffin, whispering to it all the while in hopes that it'd CALM DOWN. Geez, what was in that meat that made this guy so darn hyper!?! Were all babies like this ooooor? Right. Baby Griffin burrito? Check.
Hm. Maybe he was hungry? Or needed a story? Or uh.... Something...?

Even if AJ didn't have to check up on Brutus, she would be here because she loved creatures. In fact she had been meaning to stop by Professor Thompson's office to talk about her career after Hogwarts. Perhaps that talk would be better suited for her owl year. No need to dwell on that now because it was creative creature play. Or... um, she was just checking on Brutus.
It was still pretty early in the morning, and AJ stumbled down to where all of the creatures were kept. "Here Brutus, Brutus, Brutus..." she half mumbled/half yawned. Her thoughts seemed to be pretty together, but her words... not so much.
"CACAAW." Or was it RWAR? What was the proper griffin call people? Did anybody know? As the lion moved further into the area, she felt something pulling at her robes. Awwww... Brutus had found her. This was so unbelievably cute.
"Hey there, Brutus! Doing okay?" Did you need some raw meat snacks? Some water? Tender love and care? AJ was here and ready to give him ALL THE THINGS.
Right then. Toby could totally sit here and cuddle Griffin all day, but it occurred to him that he probably wouldn't get graded on his cuddle abilities (though imagine getting an Outstanding in that). Still looking at Griffin, and subconsciously rooking her in a soothing sort of way, he tilted his head.
"So... what should we do?" he asked her, as though he was fully expecting a response. "You hungry?" She stared. "Bored?" More staring, and a head tilt. "Want a bath?"SQUAWK!
Toby... admittedly didn't know if that meant yes or no. 'Cause yeah, he could totally talk to animals and all that, absolutely, yep... but baby animals were harder to understand, like baby humans. Not impossible, just more difficult. He looked at Griffin's face. Yea or nay? She just griffin'd back at him. Well... she was gonna get a bath, 'cause she probably needed one.
"Okay. Bath."SQUAWK!"Uh-huh."SQUAAAWWK!"I know."
He set Griffin down again, and made to get up so he could leave the stable and go get a bucket and sponges and soap or shampoo or something, but when Griffin caught wind of the fact that he was about to leave, she let out another great SQUAWK and looked at him with THE SADDEST EYES and Toby knew that he couldn't just WALK AWAY. So he sat back down again, and drew his wand.
"Accio." He flicked his wand out towards the stable doors, summoning what he needed while Griffin did her usual trick of clambering all over him. Toby simply let her, because she was cute and adorable and playful and it was endearing. The bucket soon turned up, followed by a brush like when they'd cleaned the Hippogriffs that time, some sponges and some soapy-shampoo-washy stuff. After setting the bucket down in front of him, while Griffin sat in his lap and watched, Toby pointed his wand inside of it. "Aguamenti."
The bucket quickly filled with pure, clear water, almost all the way to the top. But it was cold water, of course, and they wanted warm, so Toby next stuck the tip of his wand into the water and performed the Hot Air Charm. It was an unconventional way of doing things, but it was fun. As his wand blasted out a ton of hot air, the water began to bubble and steam, like a cool jacuzzi or something. When he finally cancelled the spell and lifted his wand out, the water level was much lower, on account of how it had evaporated and all, but it was quite warm to the touch. He'd let that cool down a bit, though added some of the shampoo-like mixture so it was ready later.
"Alright Griffin, c'mere," Toby said to the creature, who was already situated right there in his lap, and so didn't actually need to come any closer. He picked up the brush while Griffin looked right around at him at the sound of his voice. "Time to brush those feathers."
And so he did, starting tentatively but going for it a little more when she looked around to nudge his hand as if to say 'get on with it pleeeease'. Toby smiled to himself; she certainly seemed to like this part. And it probably felt good, getting her feathers and that brushed out and cleared of any bugs or dirt that was lurking. And from the blissful look on her face, with her eyes half closed, Toby thought that if Griffin were a cat, she'd definitely be purring right about now.

Waking up a bit more at the sight of her baby griffin, AJ was ready to actually do something besides stare at the beauty. Man, magical creatures sure were awesome. For just a moment she imagined her house and the loads of land she would have. Of course it would be full of creatures. What else would she put on it?
"Want mama to read you a story?" Because she could do that. Orrrr... "Do you want something to eat first?"
Bite. Ouch. "Is Brutus hungry?" SQUAWK!! And another bite to her ankle. "All right. I got it. You definitely want to eat." Once he had a full belly she could read him a story. That really did make more sense anyways.
First, she was going to wrap him in a blanket. The creature seemed much easier to handle when he was all snug and not able to move him limbs about. Grabbing the griffin, she wrestled him gently into a blanket. "How about that bottle?" Nip. Goodness. This one was a biter.
Once Genevieve was settled, Sophie lightly stroked at the griffin's head to further encourage her to settle down before picking up the baby bottle and squinting at the raw meat inside of it. She'd successfully prepared a bottle once before and there was no reason she couldn't do it again right here and now. So. Full speed ahead.
Taking her wand, Sophie cast at the meat, "Incendio!" Then, not waiting as long as she had in class, she directed a quick, "Aguamenti," into the bottle to follow. As the meat softened and liquefied, Sophie replaced the cap on the bottle and gave it some good shakes, being efficient in mixing the meat with the water and trying to get the substance to be as evenly mixed as possible.
Once it reached the proper consistency, Sophie tucked her wand back into its holster and readjusted the griffin in her lap who had been chewing a hole in the blanket it was wrapped up in. "No, Genevieve," Soph reprimanded lightly, pulling the fabric away from the griffin's mouth and replacing it with the tip of the bottle.
Genevieve responded with eagerness, sucking down the liquefied meat with no signs of hesitation. Hungry little thing, wasn't she? Merlin. One would've thought the griffin had never eaten before. Growing baby griffins needed their protein, though, she supposed, and kept the bottle tipped at a good angle so the griffin wasn't sucking down air. She didn't want to have to burp a griffin, okay? That didn't seem like something that would even be a little bit of fun.

Fascinated, Lux watched as Georgina devoured her liquefied meat. While the concept was kind of gross, her little Griffin was so cute. Georgina was like Lux; she really enjoyed her food. Hehe.
When the bottle was almost empty, Georgina turned away from it. "I guess that was enough to fill your tummy." That meant only one thing: bath time!! Yaaay for getting squeaky clean. Vanishing the left over food, Lux cleaned the bottle and set it back with the others. Now she just needed a bucket...
Thankfully Georgina was sleepy now because this would be difficult with struggling. Scanning the area, she spotted one. Awesome. It would work perfectly. "Scourgify!" There. It was all clean. Now for the water.
Lux carefully filled it with water then heated it with the Hot Air Charm. Testing the temperature with her hand, she was happy to feel that it was warm "Perfect." A little soap was added so that suds formed.
