Default Infant Magical Creatures Nursery


Halfway between Professor Wayland's hut and the barn, you will notice a much smaller, light grey, and white barn. This is the Infant Magical Creatures Nursery. The nursery is where many infant creatures are taken care of when their parents can't take care of them. Many of these infant creatures are orphans, and Professor Wayland needs all the help he can get. If you look just inside the door you'll find shelves stocked with dragon hide gloves, goggles, brushes, clean rags, and anything else you could ever need to care for these adorable infant creatures.

Just outside the back door there are multiple pens, and stables that house the larger animals, like Abraxans, and a closed off pasture that you can let your infant creatures play or roam around in. Make sure when you put your creature away that all the doors are securely closed when you are finished caring for your baby creatures. We wouldn't want them to get out and get hurt!

Please come in and let your babies get to know you! Watch them grow and learn! If there is ever any issue, please contact Professor Wayland immediately.



OOC: Please do not post here until you have your animal assignment. For more information, please see the Creature Calls announcement thread. Remember, this is a NO CHAT ZONE so please make sure your posts are only interactions with your creature. Thank you!

Fresh from his weekend out of school for important auditions, Rooney walked on down to the nursery to see Fiyero. It was rare that Rooney even went a day without seeing his Augurey and now he hadn't seen him since Friday and he worried that he would have forgotten who he was. Or that was just residual dramatics from his audition pieces. Roo was absolutely undeniably in love with Fiyero and no one could take that away from him. At least he didn't have to worry about his Augurey abandoning him and an engagement for some Slytherin loser. Fresh wound still, it seemed..

Bouquet of roses in his arms, Rooney grinned at the sight of Fiyero in his travel nest. He really had taken to it like a duck to water. The nest looked lived in and the Augurey had adjusted the brambles effectively to make the entry and exit size appropriate. How clever was Fiy! "Miss me, Fiy? I missed you. I also kissed Katy last week and forgot to mention it. So you can't tell anyone else." But it wasn't that big of a deal because it hadn't been their first kiss and it wasn't going to be their last, but Fiyero deserved to know.

"I'm going to have to clean out your nest, bud. Come... I have food for you." This time, he split the selection of insects and flies he had with him between the unused cage and the floor of the nursery. That way Fiy could go to a place he was familiar with or just eat food. Or explore all together. That was the best part about all of this growing up. Fiyero was getting all of these new skills... Flying and crying and being the one constant in the Head Boy's life. Luckily the bird obliged and flew to the cage first to eat, it's green-like wings flapping only once to make the short distance there.

Rooney weaved the roses through the brambles delicately to not cut his hands up but also arranging them in a beautiful manner as quickly as possible because flower arranging and cleaning was too much to do in the time it would take for Fiy to eat up and then expect to be sang to. Wand through some of the brambles, Rooney cast. "Scourgify" He was glad that he had reinforced the bottom of the nest so that repetitive cleaning charms wouldn't ruin the hard work that had gone into it.

Coming down to visit his granian foal after classes was becoming a regular thing for Henry. It was important for him to take good care of Caelus so he made sure to work it into his schedule. Sure, it was work, but it was enjoyable too, and he really liked the little horse.

"Did you miss me?" Henry grinned as Caelus met him at the door to his stall when he walked in. It hadn't been very long since he'd seen him last, but he still liked the way the foal always seemed to be waiting for him. "We should probably clean out your stall, hm?" He poked his head inside, not impressed with the smell or the looks of it. Definitely could use a cleaning. Thank goodness for magic.

A few well-placed Evanescos and some fresh hay, and Caelus's stall was looking as good as new. "Much better... are you hungry?" It was about feeding time as far as Henry could tell so he went to fix the grain mixture for the foal to eat while he brushed him. "You are definitely getting bigger," he casually remarked as he noticed the little granian stretch his wings a bit. It was kind of hard to tell sometimes since he came down here all pretty regularly and gradual growth was hard to see that way, but he was definitely bigger than the first time he saw him.

A walk was next. Henry liked the exercise and figured Caelus did too. He decided to take the long way around the lake this time; he had a lot of things on his mind and decided to think aloud, talking to the little winged horse even if he couldn't answer him back. Soon enough it was time to head back and he'd come back another day.

”Cage cleaning and food first, then play time, then bath time. “ Yes, she’d made a schedule for today’s visit, but it felt like the best way to get everything done that she wanted to do. Curt didn’t seem particularly enthused, but then again, it was hard to tell with the things he was saying. Maybe “stupid” meant “awesome” in Curt-speak. Maybe.

As she watched him enjoy his food, Junia noticed that he hadn’t grown much since she last saw him. Made sense with the growth timeline she’d anticipated based off her textbook. This was how big he would stay. This is what healthy Curt would look like. She smiled a little to herself, comparing his size now to his size when she’d first met him, and it was pretty crazy how much he’d grown. Kids-creatures-really did grow up so fast.

While he was busy eating and chatting away, the Slytherin did her usual sweep of the space, cleaning and fixing up the area so that it was clean and livable and up to the high standards she had started to hold for her-he felt like hers by now-creature’s home. She was good at this now. She made short work of it which was great, because it meant playtime would be longer now.

She’d decided to time Curt’s maze navigating today, just to see how quick he actually was. She’d added on to the obstacle course as promised, adding a little ladder she’d made and a few more different sized tubes to make the structure longer and taller. It wasn’t half bad, considering she didn’t really know what she was doing. Not that she’d ever admit such a thing out loud. She placed a piece of food at the start and at the end, letting Curt notice on his own and watching him curiously. Once he took the bait, she started the timer and waited. What she discovered was that not only was Curt fast, but he had an excellent sense of smell. It was impressive stuff.

After recording his times down, the Slytherin reached over for the small bowl of warm water she’d brought along and a wash cloth, too. ”This will be fast and painless, I promise.” Curt didn’t seem as enthused with the whole bathing thing, but Junia was careful to make sure he had somewhere to rest his feet and that she didn’t soak him too much. She didn’t want to make him uncomfortable. ”Don’t worry, I don’t have to bathe you often. After this you won’t need another for a good while.” And even though he was saying the rudest of rude things to her, he seemed to cooperate. He let her wash him, enabling her to make the whole process fairly quick, and she used her wand to dry him after. He liked that part, Curt did.

Once he was all curled up and looking sleepy, Junia decided it was her time to go. She stroked his head and whispered that she’d see him soon before gathering all the things she’d brought with her so she could return them. Maybe having a jarvey wasn’t so bad after all. She quite liked Curt, she’d decided.

"I brought you something today, Caelus," Henry announced to the little winged horse as he stopped by his stall in the barn. His hand hidden behind his back he pulled it out to show him the shiny red apple he brought from the kitchen. He tried to bring treats with him once in awhile, carrots or sugar cubes, but he found that Caelus seemed to like apples the best.

He let the foal eat it from his hand as he affectionately stroked his nose. He sure was a cute little thing, even if he wasn't so little anymore. "Come on, let's go stretch out those wings." Henry knew that Caelus was getting to the age of being able to fly on his own and support his own weight, but he had been worried about him flying off and getting lost since he was still a baby. So far Caelus had only managed to just get off the ground while they were on their walks, but he knew it would be very soon that he'd really be able fly. And he wouldn't be able to guide him since he couldn't ride him yet. But he knew he had to let him be able to do it on his own and not worry so much.

Would today be the day though? Henry just had a feeling about it with the way the granian started flapping his growing wings when they stepped out onto the path for a walk. "Feel like flying?" he asked, looking over at him as they started to walk. "I know you can do it!" Maybe a few words of encouragement was what he needed. Caelus flapped his wings a bit awkwardly, managing to get off the ground a bit. "Come on!" Maybe they needed a running start.

He began walking faster, guiding the little granian with him, till they were at a jog, then a run. Caelus stretched out his wings, then flapped them a few time, managing to catch wind and take flight. "Oh! You did it!" Henry watched in awe for a moment as the winged horse flew through the air as if he already knew what to do. Honestly, he was more proud than worried in that moment. But soon, he wondered about how he might land. Would he know how?

But Henry needn't have worried because even though Caelus did stumble a bit when he soon landed, he managed to stay on all four feet. "That was amazing!" he exclaimed as he ran over and hugged the horse's neck. "You're a natural flyer." Really, a horse after his own heart. Maybe he should practice a little more flying. It was really cool, after all.

Default Post 3: Female Augurey *5 January, 2093*
Zombie Apocalypse Team Leader ★ ★ in a crown of pepperoni and artisan cheese

New year, new me. New year, new me.

Holidays spent in the Cook Islands had been exactly what Olivia had needed, and she'd come away from it with a newfound appreciation for her mother. After alienating herself due to poor decision-making, falling back into her mum's arms and sobbing out all the heartbreaks and sadness had been purely cathartic. She'd been forcibly reminded that for all her shortcomings and mistakes (which were all a part of the great cycle of growing up and being a teenage girl)...that she was strong. A fighter and survivor. And sometimes, a girl just needed the empowering women in her life to make them see sense. Thanks to it, this Gryffindor felt more than ready to tackle her school work again. But only her school work. There was no longer any space left for the...excess. The stuff that simply didn't matter at the end of the day.

WHAT DID MATTER, THOUGH...was Elphie.

Slipping into the creatures' nursery, Olivia had a bigger sack with her than usual. No books or pet distractions this time. Nope, she'd been thinking....as her augurey was going go start getting much, MUCH bigger...and with cages not actually being ideal homes for birds, that she might try and make said cage more....enjoyable? Was that the word she was looking for? More...home-like? Yes, that was it. It'd stated in the book that these specific birds preferred nests made with rough shrubbery and thorns. So, with that in mind, Liv had uprooted some bramble and had spent the better part of a week weaving rose stems into it. Thorns, you know?

Hopefully it'd be okay, as....Olivia was too scared to set her augurey free to build a nest on it's own. What if it didn't return to her?! There were enough disappointments in her life and she didn't want to lose Elphie on top of everything else. She loved the bird. Already felt a connection with it... Eh, not 'it', but 'her'.

"Hey, Elphie. Mama brought you something today." Settling down on the ground just beside the cage, as she'd done so many times over the past several weeks, the blonde carefully pulled the cloth material from around the gift inside. "How do you feel about a nice nest to live in?....Don't escape." It was probably pointless to say as much, but...Olivia wasn't up to chasing a bird down if she didn't get loose. And no, she 100% wouldn't use magic on her newest child.

With careful fingers, she slowly opened up the cage, using magic this time to scourgify! away all the droppings, but leaving the cedar. For odor purposes. Then she slid the nest, made of twigs and thorns, into place beneath the perch. It took a bit of maneuvering, and louder crying from Elphie, but eventually it covered the entire space of the bottom.

Okay. Here we go.

"What do you think of that?" The blonde watched with wide eyes. Would it like the nest? Reject it? Er...

Actually..."I'll come back tomorrow and if you haven't taken to it, I'll remove it for you. It'll be like it never existed." As...obviously, Olivia couldn't read the bird's thoughts. They'd just have to wait and see.

Til tomorrow.

Henry could hardly believe it was June already and soon it would be time to go home for the summer. He loved summer and was looking forward to it for many reasons, but it also meant that he'd have to leave Caelus behind even if he was going to ask Professor Wayland about adopting him. His parents just wouldn't let him have a winged horse at home.

"Hey, buddy! Feeding time," he grinned at the growing foal as he entered Caelus's stall with his feeding mixture. He had kind of gotten into a routine with taking care of the foal in feeding, grooming, and cleaning, but he wanted to try something different today after he took care of all the essentials. Something even more fun than usual, especially since he'd be leaving soon.

Once he was finished cleaning and Caelus was done eating, he led him out for their usual walk, but decided to go a different way. On the way, he told him about his plans for the summer and tried to break it gently that he wouldn't be able to come with him. In fact, he put a positive spin on it about how Caelus would have fun with Professor Wayland and his creature friends here, and he'd get to see him again soon. In fact, he couldn't wait to see how much more he'd have grown.

Finally he reached a small grove of fruit trees at one end of the grounds. Apples weren't normally ripe this time of year, at least not just yet, but he knew of a charm that accelerated the growing speed of plants which he had cast on one of the trees to force it to produce some ripened apples. "Look, Caelus.. apples!" Henry pointed up at the tree, knowing his granian favored the fruit. "Go up and get some." He thought it might be a fun game for him to fly up and grab one off a branch, but he didn't seem to understand what he wanted him to do. But Henry could find another way.

Leaving the foal on the ground, Henry began climbing the tree, pulling himself up onto one branch and then another Once he was high enough, he situated himself on a sturdy limb and pulled off an apple from the branch. "Caelus, catch!" He threw it up in the air for him and watched the granian as he stretched out his wings and flew up, catching the apple in his teeth. "Nice!" Henry chuckled to himself and grabbed another apple. He knew this would be a fun game, and it counted as training too, right? He'd just have to make sure he didn't overdo it with the apples, and he took a bite of one himself as he waited for Caelus to finish the one he caught.

Default Post 4: Female Augurey *21 April, 2093*
Zombie Apocalypse Team Leader ★ ★ in a crown of pepperoni and artisan cheese

She'd come back that next morning...and had made a routine of it over time, showing up to check on Elphie before lessons in the early hours. Days were difficult for her since returning, where close friends had been entrusted with the care of her augurey. Whilst Olivia recovered from her horrific accident, of course. Very kind of good friends to look out for her newest baby. Though, thanks to her terrible misfortune, Liv was more suspicious of their intentions than she'd ever been before. And Merlin, the blonde hated feeling that way about her friends. It was the grossest of the gross, and she did not like it. Doubt was the worst thing that could ever happen to a person. It had been to her.

Anyway.

Luckily, Elphie had taken to the makeshift nest, and Olivia had been dutifully cleaning it each day. As the bird grew more and more in size, the cage became much more cramped, given the perch, the nest, and the bird were all occupying it. Speaking of the bird, its sleek feathers had fully grown in and now gleamed like diamonds on water. They were so beautiful, it made Liv's heart flutter. Beauty. When was the last time she'd been able to appreciate the simple beauty of nature. Or.....creatures. That was...kinda nature, even with the cage? "You're lovely, and I hope I'm not mucking this up too badly." She wished she could let her out....and thought that maybe... JUST MAYBE.... she would after a couple more months. They would simply have to wait and see.

On this day, however, they were once again discussing omens, given the etymology of the name. And Olivia's recent scholastic news. "Maybe you'll be a good luck charm for me when we travel across the pond." Oh, that reminded her! She'd need to check with Headmistress Moxley to make sure augureys would be allowed as pets....because leaving Elphie at home, with her mother, wouldn't work. And really, there was no need to make the older blonde woman anymore raving than she already was. Obviously, I'll try to take you with me. I hope I can...." Headmistress Moxley had a heart, didn't she?!

Going through the paces of cleaning poop, refilling food, and even providing water....Olivia noticed her augurey was becoming more vocal during their daily visits. It warmed her heart, naturally.....but also inspired just a touch of superstition. Augureys had once been believed to predict death, and given her rotten luck with her own health lately... Well, it was dumb to worry, but Liv couldn't really help it. "You aren't trying to tell me I'm going to die, are you?" She was stroking the bird's pretty feathers with her index finger. "Though, I suppose it's better not to know, right?" Her mind suddenly flew to a very interesting place. Just three days prior...she'd suffered many little deaths. Were Augureys sensitive to those things, as well?.....The Gryffindor had the grace to blush at her own thoughts.

"Okay, you. Behave and I'll return." Not that Liv doubted Elphie would be the best augurey in the nursery. She definitely would be, everyone knew.

Emmeline marched out to the nursery right after making the pretty tree cry in herbology. Her feelings about the lesson, and the summer and her first hear at Hogwarts being almost over were messy and complicated. So she was taking a trip to see Sirius for like five minutes before she was due back in the castle for her next lesson. The first year rushed inside the nursery and opened up the right kennel. Sirius came bounding out and tried to bowl her over as usual. She plopped down on the ground and wrapped her arms around the cruppy in a biiig hug.

Default Post 5: Female Augurey *1 June, 2093*
Zombie Apocalypse Team Leader ★ ★ in a crown of pepperoni and artisan cheese

With term quickly coming to and end, so was this creature assignment, and Olivia's daily trips to hangout in the nursery. As for progress, Elphie grew more magnificent with each passing day, and she had to laugh at a conversation she'd had with her favorite Slytherin about her pets. Apparently, the blonde would be attempting to add one more to her growing litter. Unsurprisingly. she had a lot of love to give, and struggled with no one to give it to. So, this naturally meant it was time to get more. Not. Her. Fault.

Anyway, when she entered the nursery on that day, she'd already put it in her mind that she'd be taking Elphie out of the cage. In Liv's opinion, some fresh air would be good for her beautiful little love. Besides, if her augurey flew away....Well, then it wasn't meant to be and it was better to rip the band-aid off early. Not years down the line when she'd fostered real attachment. Yup, she was clearly ignoring the fact that she had most definitely already grown 100% attached.

"Today is the day!" It was said excitedly as Liv went about checking Elphie's food, the condition of her nest, and the amount of water she'd had stored up.... Hmm, she'd not accumulated much poop overnight. Maybe a bit of food towards the end....After some exercise. "Ready to go out and stretch those beautiful wings a bit?"....Elphie wouldn't run. She won't fly away. You've been kind to her.... With a deep breath, she lifted the latch on the cage, opening it wide. "Okay, come on then." Reaching in to carefully hug her hands around the bird's warm body, Olivia carefully pulled her from the cage. She'd saw birds handled this way loads of times, so... "Okay, just around the nursery.".....and if Liv had to, under extreme duress, she'd stunned the bird and put her back. Secretly. The Gryffindor didn't think it'd come to that, though. Oh, and there was that animal charm she could've used. However....um, she'd not been having too much success with her magic lately. There was a fear that she might accidentally kill the poor thing.

Please don't cause me problems today, Elphie. Be nice.

Releasing the augurey up into the air, Olivia grinned brightly as it stretched it's beautiful green wings wide. "How does that feel?!" Much, MUCH better than being cramped up in some cage. In fact, she vowed here and there that if she were allowed to adopted the pet, that Elphie would be allowed an open perch in her dorm room. Yup. Fight her on that. Though, she'd be off at Ilvermorny, anyway. So, this wasn't something to worry about here.

Settling down on the ground, crossing her legs, she watched as her bird got some much needed exercise. Just a few more moments, and then they'd pack it in for the day. OWLs were still haunting her every waking moment, when caramel eyes weren't. There was just a lot going on.

....Hm.

"Okay, Elphie. Come back." OBVIOUSLY, Liv was nervous the bird would ignore her, but it helped that she'd kept the cage's door open. And this was why she'd waited to put the food in her tray. Removing the canister from her bag, she knelt down and pushed it through the door, pouring out the contents. There. Fresh food.... "Come on, are you hungry...?" Nerves, nerves, neeerves...Oh, good. She watched with baited breath as the bird fluttered and stretched its wings landing just on top of the metal worked bars. Oh, yeah...her hands were in the way. Pulling them back out, it allowed enough space for Elphie to reenter on her own.... Thank the gods. "Eat up. With any luck, I'll be take you home with me soon." End of term was mere days away. Ha, and finals. Ha.....ha ha ha. Oh, buddy.

"I'll peek in on you again in the morning. IloveyouElphie." Mhm.

The end of term was approaching and Derf was finding himself more and more reflective. It came with the territory of being 13, you know? He was that big FANCY word called a TEENAGER officially.

So it was with his usual box of woodlice in hand that he returned to the nursery to just have a chit chat with Picketta before the professor decided whether or not he was an acceptable bowtruckle handler and could keep her officially. Although, if the Hufflepuff was being honest, he felt that she had far more of a say in the matter and he was preeeeeeeeetty confident there, you know?

Approaching her tree - the NOT HER HOME TREE tree - Derf began making loud clicking noises to call Pickette to him. It really only took one loud click for her to be alerted to his presence, but he kept doing it anyway. Trying to remember the pattern she often made when speaking with him while they were out for a stroll around the grounds.

Grinning as she climbed immediately up his trouser leg, he carefully sat down and removed Scamander from his other pocket. At least the two of them were getting along just fine, so should things go well he did not have to worry about THAT. "I missed you too," he grinned as she stroked his face with her leafy pigtails - that was what he was calling them anyway. "You know...mum and dad are both herbologis-sts," he began casually as he sat down and helped her up to his shoulder. "Loads-s of plants-s and trees at home...I think you'll like it if I get the okay to take you home."

Not that he had not been sneaking her out of the nursery from time to time during the entire term...and was even bold enough the one time to have her in his pocket during a Care of Magical Creatures lesson.

Dragging the bowl of water and washcloth he had set to the side earlier in front of him, he gently dipped the gauze like fabric in the liquid and began gently stroking her leaves. "You know...plants-s-s used to make me want to s-s-secrete in my trous-sers...before I met you," he mused, keeping his voice low while he worked and applied just a little bit of pressure to try and get a dirt spot out that clearly her long fingers could not reach. "So like...I think that means-s you and me have a really GOOD and HEALTHY relations-ship, you know? Like...you help bring out good things in me and....uh...I keep you healthy and happy and fed."

Finishing up with her head leaves and gentle stroking her stick body with the wet cloth, Derf turned his head towards her with an affectionate grin...only to have her basically attack his face. But it was gentle...not like how she had attacked Natalie. But it was confusing because her little bowtruckle mouth was kinda sorta nipping at his? "Picketta?" he asked through taught lips. "Are you...kissing me?"

Which apparently the bowtruckle was because she let out a few chirps of delight.

This was really confusing.

First kiss, wet and salty because dolphin. Second kiss, er, dry and scratchy?

So he simply patted the bowtruckle on the head and kissed her little leafy greens back.
