Lyra also raises her hand "Aren't they also the Keeper of Keys?"

Nods her head, agreeing with Shannon as she had sid the answer already.

Singspell*!* takes notes and is fabergatsted by the intelligence of her fellow classmates....WOW....

"I do beleive that the gamekeeper is a person that takes care of animals. It could also be called the person that would be a referee for the muggle world? That is depending what way you were meaning the question."


*I hope I just did not put my foot in my mouth and made myself look dumb...*

*snaps out of her stupor,and her ears perk up when she heard the word 'sports'*

The way I see it in our world, I think a gamekeeper has multiple roles. Not only does he take care of animals as singspell siad, I think he also acts as a kind of 'overseer' or maybe a foreman in place like Hogwarts.

Serena raised her hand, "A gamekeeper one who is employed to protect and maintain game birds and animals, especially on an estate or a game preserve.
I guess Hogwarts is an estate of sorts."

Very good Shannon. A gamekeeper is someone who looks after and cares for the animals here at Hogwarts. Now some of you are a little confused thinking about our old gamekeeper Hagrid who had many roles when he was here at Hogwarts. Yes Hagrid was responsible for taking care of the grounds as well as being Keeper of the Keys, however, these are just seperate titles that Hagrid held. By no way if you are a gamekeeper do you need to hold other positions. Now the similiarities between a gamekeeper and a veterinarian are great. In the muggle world a veterinarian is responsible for the well-being of many animals. What are some animals muggles keep as pets that a veterinarian may take care of?

Serena raised her hand, "The most popular muggle pets are dogs, cats and birds! Some even keep ferrets, rabbits, gerbils, mice and rats. I actually have a pet squirrel, but those aren't common."

Nadia hears, "Interesting, I never knew people could have so many pets. I recall once hearing about people having fishes, golden fishes r alike, and thenthere ws this other species, the reptiles, and some people have from snakes to lizards. And spiders! Also birds, such as canaries and parrots.

We wizards have owls, cats, mice and frogs are main pets... We have magicl ceratures as pets, but appart from that we do have it is common with muggles on our coice of pets. Guess they don't have runespoors or phoenix.

Still the one both wizards and muggles can have and I like the most, is" - makes dramatic pause -"the monkey! I swear, I have always wanted to have one. The sad this is that they use chimances and other monkeys for experimentations so much, muggles do... They use rats, dogs, everything. I don't think they care too much for animals."

*she tsked with a sad tone at the end*

Kay raises her hand. "Some Muggles keep horses, hamsters, and pot-bellied pigs as pets."

Sangeetha raised her hand and siad

'Professsor, Muggles keep rats, mice, dogs, cats,donkeys, ferrets, rabbits, birds and something I heard tghat Farmers keep. They are cows, goats, bulls, oxes, sheep. The cow gives them milk, sheep gives them wool and bulls and oxes help the farmers in ploughing their fields. I done knw about gotas though.'

goats also give milk. I believe they use it to make different cheeses.The fleece of the goat is used to make mohair, a material sometimes used to make many items such as sweaters.

like everyone else said, the most common are fluffy, easy to care animals like cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents, etc. I even heard of someone who had 7 tigers at home, no kidding! As for marine animals as pets there are also many--fish, turtles, and even the pirhana, a fish that has extremely sharp teeth. I guess a veterinarian could take care of these too.

'Twelve tigers! That's mad! No one in their right minds would want to have a tiger for a pet!' Sangeetha exclaimed, laughing as well.

^yeah, I know! But the guy's rich and he owns a bunch of other exotic animals as well. I had a cat, but they all either got run over by a car, ran away, or simply disappeared.

Everyone is right basically any animal can be a pet to a muggle however, some muggles feel that the larger animals such as tigers are dangerous and most don't keep them as pets. Now The similarities between a gamekeeper and a veterinarian are very great. A vet, for short, looks after animals and cares for them should they become ill or injured. Vets also provided "preventative" care to protect animals against future illness. Many muggle children dream of becoming vets when they become adults simply because muggle children love animals.

"Okay, will do that...thanks professor!"

Sangeetha nodded as hse wrote down her homework. She then stands up waves at the Professor.
