Well, well, well. What might we have here?

Approximately a week after being given the long-term assignment and picking up a dragon egg, a brand new little building stands proudly near the Reptile Room. Large lettering above the door spells out the words 'Dragon Playroom' and if that isn't at all clear enough on top of the building there's a large statue of a dragon flapping its wings.

Stepping inside the area is much larger than it appeared from the outside and it appeared to be sectioned off into smaller areas within the one large room. Each smaller room is set up specially for a certain species of dragon. There were mountains and valleys, warmer areas and much 'cooler' ones, caves and other places for the dragons to 'hide' and sleep in. A small 'lake' was set in the middle and an area for eating was off to one side.

It had also been taken into careful consideration that some of the dragons, though they were very small and couldn't do much harm at all may not do well with one another. Protection charms had been set in place for that reason to keep these dragons in their respective areas UNLESS with their 'parents' and being CAREFULLY watched.

There were hoops that floated in the air and lit up when the dragons flew through them. As well as many other items for the dragons and their 'parents' to play with and explore on their own, together or with other dragons and friends!

Professor Paton had set up this room for use by anyone that wanted to use it for their dragons enrichment, bonding, exercise and simple enjoyment. This was a wonderful spot to allow the dragons to roam and fly about freely while maybe getting class assignments done too!

OOC:Hi there! Welcome to the Dragon Playroom! This room is PURELY for FUN! You are under no obligation at all to post here for points. While this room is mostly set up for hatched dragons, that doesn't mean you can't bring the eggs in here as well if they haven't hatched yet and try to coax them into hatching a certain way

Also please note that I have changed things slightly and there won't be a part 2 that counts for points any longer. I will be editing the other threads with more information.

“Wow.”

Ary stood there, mouth slightly agape as he started up at the statue. “Your mama has gone all out with that statue,” he mused to Bry who stood beside him. He could quite stare at it all day but there was work to be done. “You think she’d let us have it after the term ends?” he continued, now stepping into the building. Needless to say the interior sent him into another bout of awe. Aunty Hady definitely had outdone herself! Clearly she had put a lot of thought and effort into letting the students have realistic hatching places as possible.

Today, Ary was going to try to hatch the egg he had gotten a week back. He felt slightly disappointed that it hadn’t yet hatched though he constantly tried to remind himself that eggs took their time and he needed to ensure more hatching conditions needed to be met.

The third year looked down at the cradled egg in a basket layered with a blanket. It was wrapped in another thick blanket as Aunty Hady had suggested. For added measures, there was a Heating Charm on both blankets. “The best place to stash the egg would be one of those warmer areas. Shall we?”

*Kolyander* · 07-02-2024, 06:54 PM

"Trying to catch lacewing flies?" Bry teased, giggling as she reached out a hand and lightly tapped Ary under the chin so he'd close his mouth. Even as she teased him, her own sparkling blue eyes had become transfixed upon the dragon statue sat upon the building. "Sure she will! We're her most favoritest kiddos, she can't say no to us." Especially not if they asked together in their most sweetest voices. How could her mama ever resist all the cuteness of the two of them?

Following Ary through the doors, it was the young snakettes turn to stare at everything in awe as she looked around. "How long do you think it took mama to do all of this? Should we explore while our babies nap?" Yes, she referred to them as 'babies' and not eggs. They did have baby dragons inside them after all. Speaking of which, hers was currently wrapped up all snug and warm in a colorful blanket and tucked safely into the sling that was hung across her chest. The best way to bond was to keep it close, right?

"Uh-huh, that should help them to hatch. Maybe they'll hatch together!" Now how exciting would that be?! Bry wrapped her little pinky around Ary's free one (cause obviously he was carrying the basket with his 'baby' in it), swinging their hands gently. "Do we want to just lay them somewhere or actually build a little safe spot for them so they don't get hurt?" Keeping their 'babies' safe was very important.

SPOILER!!: Bry! <3

Haaa.

Bry had jokes, didn’t she? Aryan laughed at the question and as she tapped his chin. “Maybe. Professor Adara will appreciate a few for her potion ingredients stash.” Then he laughed again. “Shh, Bry! Even if it’s true, we can’t let anyone hear that. They might be sad. Or worse, jealous.”

Ary thought. “I think it would have taken her a while to plan and to get all the materials needed to put it together. But using magic, it would have taken a shorter amount of time to put this together.” He really did love and appreciate what Aunty Hady had done! “We can do that.” He really did want to know all that was here and how he could make his dragon even more comfortable when it hatched.

As his and Bry’s joined hands swung, Ary considered the question. “Maybe if we put them together, they’ll hatch together since they’ll have the same level of warmth.” He tugged Bry in the direction of the warmer areas, which were easy to find since the heat was felt as they moved closer. “How about we make them a little nest from the blankets that we have? But I don't think there's any danger involved. Aunty Hady would have seen to that somehow.”

*Kolyander* · 07-07-2024, 03:38 PM

Omg! All the giggles!

The female Slytherin might have the jokes but Aryan sure had the answers for her today! Bry couldn't help the for of giggles that overcame her right then. "Sure, sure.. but might I recommend a different way of capturing? I'm sure they likely don't taste very good." Cue the sweetest of smiles. "Yeah, okay but it's not my fault that I'm mama's favorite and she can't tell me no when I ask for something." Being the youngest and the mostest adorable had its perks.

She tipped her head to the side, taking in all of Ary's thoughts and considering it for a few moments. "That makes sense to me! Mama had to use a lot of magic to get everything in here so perfect." Bry smiled brightly. "Great, we can do all the exploring once we got them nice and comfy and warm." Which shouldn't take all that long to do.

Their hands continued to swing gentle as she was very excited. "That would be so special! I hope they hatch together.. but it's okay if they don't." As much as she would love it, she knew it might not happen. Bryony hurried alongside Ary as they made their way towards the warmer areas. "Okay! We can make a little nest of blankets and lay them together and wrap them in another blanket to added warmth." Safe and warm was good.

Bright blue eyes scanned the different areas for the most perfect spot. Somewhere warm but not overly hot.

SPOILER!!: Bry! <3

Bry was a lot giggly today. Naturally, Ary didn’t mind since he rather liked those giggles. “Done. I can do that.” Yeah, he too thought flies would taste yucky. Grinning, he added factually but good naturedly, “You’re spoilt.” He may have contributed to this but in his opinion, it wasn’t a substantial amount.

“She was spectacular for creating all of this.” That’s his Aunty Hady for you, everyone! She was the coolest. With their plans made and the warm areas of the room located, Ary fell silent as Bry chattered on. Of course their hands were still swinging between them. He considered her plan, doing his best to see any flaws {because he wanted the best for both eggs} but he could see none. “We can do that,’’ he said simply. Entering one of the rooms, he set his basket on the ground. “Let’s hurry but not hurry at the same time. I don’t want to get cooked in here.” The boy dropped Bry’s hand and took a spare blanket from the basket and began making a nest in the centre of the room.

*Kolyander* · 07-09-2024, 06:48 PM

The giggles couldn't be helped! Tending to these little dragon eggs was spectacular, a real dream come true for her. Not to mention having Aryan at her side and being super silly along with her. This was nothing short of perfection for the young teen. "Good cause flies gotta taste really icky, right?" Bry beamed at him. As for her being spoiled, as true as that was, the little blonde pouted at him. "I'm not.. and even if I am that's not my fault." Or was it?

Nod nod. The proudest of smiles tugged at her lips. That's her mama! "You think she'll leave this place here after? I'd still come in here." If she could stay in her constantly, she would. This place was so very fantastic. Her smile didn't falter once as she wandered alongside Ary until the came to the perfect spot. "What, you don't like being a sweaty mess?" She giggled, reaching into her bag to pull out a blanket that she kept in there now. Quickly but carefully she added the blanket she was holding to the one Aryan was making a nest with.

FearlessLeader19 · 07-11-2024, 12:57 AM

SPOILER!!: Bry! <3

Just you wait Bry! In a few years, you’d be old enough to be allowed to raise dragons on his family’s Reserve. Ary knew this was something she could hardly wait to begin doing and was quite impatient for the day to get here. “Very icky,” Ary agreed, returning to their silly little conversation, which he was enjoying, by the way. He peered over at her, shooting her an amused look. “I’m not going to answer that.” Because they both knew the answer!

That was a good question. “I’m not sure. But if Aunty Hady doesn’t have any more plans for this place after the assignment, she might get rid of it.” Which would be a shame but also understandable. “We should ask her.”

With his and Bry’s blankies, he helped her arrange them into a neat little nest. Little but sufficiently big enough to comfortably house the two eggs. “We should add some more.” Then he laughed before answering her question. “Sweating I don’t mind but being roasted alive? No thanks.” Aryan added another blanket to the mix which carried the height of the nest slightly higher. “Think that’s enough?”

That day the universe better hold itself together tightly because this tiny firecracker was going to explode with excitement. The screams of joy that would happen from her were surely going to be earsplitting. That day was already being counted down until for ages already. Bry nodded quickly in agreement. So please no eating buggies Ary unless it was candy. As fast as she had been beaming at him, her mouth went to hanging open in utter fake shock that he wasn't agreeing with her and instead not going to answer. Rude Aryan, very rude. Didn't he know he was meant to agree with her?

Deep sigh. "I'll ask her later. I like it in here." Really she did. Maybe mama would keep the building around for a bit longer so she could use it as a study place! "Or wait.. maybe you should ask her too! Cause if we both ask she can't say no." Strength in numbers, right?

Such a cute little blankie nest they had made! Bry giggled. "You're not going to roast, it's not that hot in here.' He was so very silly! Bry tilted her head one way and then the other, eying their nest. "I think it's great. We can always add more blankets if we think we need to." She very carefully removed her dragon egg from the sling across her chest and placed it in the blanket nest. "How's that?"

FearlessLeader19 · 07-14-2024, 11:15 PM

SPOILER!!: Bry! <3

Someone just needed to remind him to protect himself by using earmuffs if Bry was going to be screaming in the range that mirrored mandrakes. But moving on… he doubted that he’d be eating many insects in the form of sweets either; unless they were on the sour side, of course. Peeking over at Bry, he could see that he had ‘surprised’ her with his response. He simply grinned.

You know what? Ary should have anticipated that Bry would have dragged him in somehow on this. “We can try,’’ he said uncertainly. “But, Bry, if Aunty Hady really doesn’t have any use for it, she won’t listen to us.” He pictured Hady letting them down gently, especially Bry. He also pictured Bry bursting into disappointed tears.

Bry could speak for herself. He was positive that beads of sweat were appearing above his upper lip, giving him a ‘sweat moustache’. How absolutely manly. At least he and Bry were on the same page regarding the blankie situation. He carefully removed the egg he had chosen and placed it snugly next to Bry’s. “Cozy. They look like twins,’’ he observed, now standing back to survey his and Bry’s work. “Think they’re warm enough? Should we use an extra Heating Charm just in case?” Ary squinted around at the room as though it were about to provide him with answers. When it didn’t, he said, “Nah. I think it’s warm enough.”

*Kolyander* · 07-15-2024, 09:46 PM

With a present such as that, Aryan should know right away that a reaction well over the top would happen. Maybe a very well placed silencing charm would prove helpful? Hmm, sour candy bugs? Interesting. Someone remind her to look into that. As for that simple grin, she would be remembering that too.

When didn't she try to rope him in on something she did or to help her try to get her way when she wanted something? "But she might if we both ask.. cause then it's the two of us and not just me." Two is better than one in these sorts things.

Okay, so maybe sweating was highly uncomfortable and somewhat gross. HOWEVER she would be lying if she said that Ary wasn't adorable all of the time, even when sweaty from all the warmth in here. Ahem, anyhow.. moving along now.. the blankie situation was working divinely. "Wouldn't it be so cute if they hatched into the same species?! Then they could be twins!" How fun would that be?! Bry stood at Ary's side, tilting her head one way and then the other eyeing the eggs in their blanket nest. "I think one more blanket should do it..." She tugged a fluffy sparkly blanket from her bag that she tucked around all the other ones. "There! Now they can't go anywhere and they'll be perfectly snug and warm together.' Bry beamed brightly at him, her eyes shining. "Ready to go explore a little?" They wouldn't go very far just in case their eggs decided to hatch!

FearlessLeader19 · 07-18-2024, 01:15 AM

SPOILER!!: Bry! <3

The day that Bry excluded him from her plans was the day that the world was ending. It certainly would not be because she hated him or anything {that was impossible - and he wasn’t just saying it; he knew Bry loved him too much}. He sighed inwardly but nodded. “Okay, we’ll go together then.” He offered her a smile because he hated to disappoint her. Did he just contribute yet again towards Bry being a tad more spoilt? Perhaps he did but it was nothing new in that.

Of course Bry thought that he looked adorable all of the time. The girl was biased! Yet he was grateful for the way she never shied away from him. “That would be very nice,’’ the boy remarked, thinking how coincidental but wonderful Bry’s wishes would be if they came through. He chuckled as he watched her tilt her head because she looked funny. Honestly, Bry was silly sometimes! Ary waited patiently while she made the final adjustment and then… they were all set!

“Ready. Where to first?” He’d let her pick.

*Kolyander* · 07-18-2024, 02:43 PM

Not even then. Bry would need to know exactly where that boy was should the world come to an end. Did he think she would let him go without her at his side? Now he couldn't be more correct. The small blonde loved him with all her little heart and soul combined. "Thanks!" As always her beaming smile was aimed directly at him. He could never let her down.

Soooo?! Nothing wrong with being biased with the one you love. Shy away? Why would she do that? If Ary wanted a sweaty hug right now, this girl was all for it! Bry nodded her head, smiling at him. It would be fantastic! His laughter didn't bother her one bit and when she was finished she turned to take his hand. "Umm, that way?" she pointed off to the right a little bit. "It doesn't look so warm over that way and there's some areas to explore." To her it looks interesting.

With visiting Aunty Hady about keeping this place up and their dragon eggs all cosy, Ary was all set to explore the remainder of the building. He looked in the direction Bry was indicating and after a quick scan of it, nodded. “Sure, let’s go.’’ And knowing that she’d grab his hand, he grabbed hers first. “Maybe by the time we get back, the eggs will have hatched.” Hopefully! Because Aryan was quite excited to demonstrate his vast knowledge on how to care and raise a dragon.

*Kolyander* · 07-25-2024, 02:35 PM

Never before had Bry seen two precious dragon eggs looking so snug and warm together. How cute were their baby dragon eggs?! The blondes smile brightened tremendously when Aryan took hold of her hand before she managed to snag his, he knew her so very well. "Wouldn't that be fantastic?! I would love see them hatching together." Now that would be perfection. She couldn't wait to raise her little dragon alongside Ary's and all their friends! But first.. giving his hand a small squeeze she led the way for their exploration adventure.

Sydney’s grayish-blue eyes darted around the dragon daycare, taking in the scenery. Wow, this place had everything! Professor Paton had outdone herself with this room. She glanced at the dragon egg nestled in the basket in her arms. It seemed like Vox was taking an awfully long time to hatch. Maybe a change of environment would help him, but which one?

She thought for a moment. If she recalled correctly, both the Swedish Short-snout and the Common Welsh Green (the two dragon species she was most interested in hatching) lived in mountainous areas. That seemed like as good a place as any! She beelined for the small mountain “room”, setting Vox’s basket down in a cozy corner. She sat on the ground beside the basket, gently tucking a blue blanket around the egg. Her eyes shifted from the egg to the hoops hanging midair and back again. “Come on, Vox! Don’t you want to hatch and show all the other dragons who’s boss?”

Sydney sat lost in thought, imagining her dragon flying through those hoops and possibly setting fire to them. The thought made her smile a little. She’d almost lost track of time when a faint crackling sound distracted her. At first she thought she imagined it, but it got louder. She looked to her right and saw a crack in Vox’s egg. The crack grew, and an eye peeked out. Then a nose, then a silvery-blue head, a head Sydney instantly recognized as belonging to a Swedish Short-snout. Just like her wand core! “Hello, Vox,” she said, smiling. “You certainly took your time making your grand entrance, didn’t you?”

Vox emerged with a little roar, a roar that Sydney noticed sounded suspiciously like radio static. She held out a hand to the newly-hatched dragon. Vox blinked and toddled toward her. As he approached, he let out a sneeze and a jet of blue flames. Sydney giggled at the sight of the fire. How deliciously chaotic! “Good boy!” she said, giving Vox a little pat on the head.
