Near the entrance to the Common Room hangs a noticeboard, for students and staff alike to post important information. One half is covered in cork and scattered with yellow and black push pins. Here you'll find flyers, information about clubs and lessons, notes about lost property, and anything else people want to post. The other half of the board is a blackboard, with a small ledge jutting out with a number of pieces of coloured chalk allowing quick or informal messages to be easily left.
ooc: Any Hufflepuff and/or Hogwarts Staff are welcome to post forthcoming or open lessons, assignments, personal notices (e.g. lost property) and general school updates here. It’s recommended to subscribe to this thread to get the latest updates.
Is there anything more exciting than a field trip????? I don’t think so Puffs, class has only just begun! So get your pemission slip and head over to Astronomy !

The curriculum up until now has been an emphasis on taking care of infant and adolescent magical creatures (nothing full grown) and understanding the different needs/care requirements based upon species. Some basic theoretical only lessons on life cycles have been provided as well.

Below are general instructions for the assignment, you can find further instructions in the phase one thread.
SPOILER!!: instructions
IC Instructions
Each student (or pair, if choosing to co-parent) will receive one baby doll to take care of over the course of the next 3 months & 1 baby bag containing all the essentials for babycare
What to know about the dolls? With the aid of technology, the dolls have been programed to dirty nappies, need burping, sleep, get hungry, cry, etc. They have a mechanism that records all sounds and a way to alert your Professor should you think to take the doll apart in search of the recorder. The babies behave in a way that mirrors real children, and they respond to love and affection accordingly. They do not like to be left alone and are rather fragile.
What’s in the baby bag? Nappies, bottles, dummy/pacifier, baby food, baby powder, wipes and flannels, etc.
Over the course of the next 3 months, you must take your baby with you at all times. Take care to treat it with love (aka feeding it when hungry, burping it when needing a burp, soothing it when it cries, etc). You will be asked to check in with your Professor periodically on the status of your baby. By the end of the 3 month period you will be given a grade based upon how you treated your baby, the baby’s final physical state, and your overall effort in the assignment.
OOC Instructions
This long-term assignment will have 3 distinct phases that can be sequentially completed at any time. This means that you cannot move to phase 2 until you have completed phase 1. You cannot move to phase 3 until you have completed phase 2. For each phase a seperate thread will be made (ex. THIS thread is for PHASE 1). If you can’t jump in right when the thread opens, don’t fret! ALL threads will stay open until the final day of the assignment (March 26 2020).
For each phase of the assignment, you will simply have to post your character within the thread. I will post Finneas interacting with your character, which will in turn, be a short RP where he will ask questions or ask them to complete a simple task.
For the second and third phase, you will be required to provide 1 link to an outside RP in which the baby doll is mentioned, being taken care of, or used.
While I’m only requiring that you mention the doll in 2 RPs for the sake of the assignment, this could be such a fun opportunity if you’d like to take heed of it and use it for your own plotting purposes! Kid running his own babysitting business as a whole new way of paying a dude to do your homework? Bringing your child to class? Taking them on a casual stroll? HELP--I lost my child in the great lake! …… Lots of fun opportunities! If you can’t think of any come poke me and we can brainstorm together ^^
I will unlock the phase 2 & phase 3 threads once a few people have gone through phase 1 in order to stagger things. I’ll post notices on the noticeboard so you know when the threads have been opened!
This assignment will last until MARCH 26 @ 10 PM EST (gmt-5)
* Please note that the threads for PHASE TWO and PHASE THREE are not up yet. I will be staggering these threads as people begin to complete PHASE ONE.

RAINWATER DAYCARE!
AVAILABLE DURING ALL OF PROFESSOR RAINWATER'S FREE PERIODS
MONDAY TO FRIDAY AND ALL DAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY!
Attached underneath the note was a copy of his class schedule so the kids knew when he wouldn't be teaching. But weekends were fair game. Study time was important. Gus knew that. AND HE LOVED THESE BABIES.
