Leah bounced down the steps from the castle towards the Grounds. It was a nice day and she was looking forward to the Care of Magical Creatures lesson, which was always outdoors. AND a bonus Charms lesson too! Learning spells!

Her heart dropped several inches when she saw from a distance that the barnyard was locked. Was the lesson cancelled? No, wait. A sign pointing towards the play pens. Cool. Even better. The play pen in which the professors were in came slowly into view. Hot pink! They were supposed to wear pink? Debating silently in her mind whether or not to go back to her dormitory and change, she realized after a while the cute creatures.

"Hello, Professor Thompson, Professor Fuller." Leah greeted. "Hi guys~" she grinned at the fluffy creatures, stepping into the pen.

The brightest thing Tobias owned was a bright yellow jacket. He also had some brightly coloured shoes that he'd slipped on before heading down to the lesson, but nothing pink, unfortunately. If that wasn't enough, Toby also had a blue and green zigzagged t-shirt, which seemed brightly patterned enough.

The playpens were that way, right? Toby squinted at the sign to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him, before heading down to the pens. He pushed through the gate and shut it behind him once inside, and then caught sight of the creatures.

CUUUUUUUUUUUTE. And sO FLUFFY.

The Hufflepuff beamed and got a little closer. He even lowered himself carefully to the floor so he could say hello to the creatures. Oh, wait... that reminded him. Toby looked up again.

"Hi Professor Magical Creatures, hi Professor Neighbour!" Names were hard, okay? These ones were easier to remember. His brain was aging just as fast as his body, after all.

Anyway, back to the creatures. Were they puffskeins or something?

But... hmm... the professors really WERE pink. That made Tobias feel like he was really gonna stick out. It was a shame he hadn't mastered the colour-changing charm yet; that would have been really helpful today.

Alex headed toward the Care of Magical Creatures and Charms class verrry slowly. She was feeling especially stiff today with lots of aches and pains, but she made sure to get an early start. As directed, she had worn her favorite pink shirt topped off with a pink jacket. She wasn't sure why they had to wear pink, but any excuse to wear her favorite color was OK with her. Upon seeing a sign pointing toward the playpens, Alex set out in that direction. She wondered which of the animals they would be working woth today.

Arriving at the playpens, Alex saw the Professors inside one of them. Entering the gate she said, "Hello Professors". Good. She was early to class and only a few other students had arrived so far. She hoped her friends would be there soon.

Another joint lesson. Since he had enjoyed the History of Magic and Runes one, Adi was looking forward to this one. Plus Care of Magical Creatures happened to be his favourite subject. So yep, this was going to be double the fun.

Arriving at the barnyard, he found the doors locked. Sooo...not using the barnyard then? That's when the Puffer spotted the sign pointing him in the direction of the pens. He headed in their direction and soon spotted the two Professors and a handful of students.

"Hi, Professors!'' Adi gave them both bright grins. Yes, yes. He was excited for the lessons. "Hello, guys!'' he added to his classmates before turning to properly look at the creatures.

Shades of PINK?

Yeah, no. Delilah didn't like pink much.. Not at all, in fact. It was such a girly colour, wasn't it? She instead chose to wear a bright green shirt and a VERY bright yellow ( her house ) jacket, which still made her feel rather odd. What was with the bright coloured clothing? She was curious.

The girl made her way to the playpen, tucking her hair behind her ears.... and she suddenly stopped walking when she saw the professors. They were so PINK! She bit her lip from laughing, because they really did look rather funny before her gaze turned towards the really cute looking creatures! AWWWWWW!

"Can I hold one, professor.....s? Please?" Pretty please?

Sander made his way down to the playpens feeling awkward. It had been bad enough that he had to wear a yellow suit at the dance lesson which made him look like a walking omelette but now they had been instructed to wear bright patterned clothing preferably in pink. So now he looked like a walking Pepto Bismol bottle.

Hoping that he wasn't the only one looking pinkish, Sander walked over to greet both Professors waiting in one of the pens, who thankfully were looking Pepto Bismolish too.

The moment Sander opened the gate and entered the pen, he heard squeaking sounds and immediately smiled as he saw the creatures making them. Puffskeins!! Were they going to be working with them?

Fighting the urge to immediately play with them, Sander walked over to greet his Professors.

"Hello Professor Thompson. Hello Professor Fuller. It's a great day today to be outdoors isn't it? May I play with the creatures while we wait for class to start?" Sander smiled at both of them, seeking permission.

He eyed the creatures again. They were totally adorable....and fluffy...and squeaky.

Then he noticed Alex and waved to her.

Caleb did not do pink. Simple as that.

Still, he'd managed to find a really bright green polo that he thought would suffice for today's lesson. He didn't really want to know WHY they had to be dressed up all bright like and stuff - he could only think of one thing. The thing they were studying today liked bright colors. And that meant they were all walking targets. NOT COOL.

He could barely move as it is with his leg in a big old CAST right now from his fall. Ugh. Life was just not ok right now.

Bays knee was feeling better and walking out on the grounds was a nice change of view.. Spotting the sign on the door bay followed it..... Seeing Sander and Alex Bay made his way over to them but he passed the Professors first "hello Professors" waving to them..

"hey guys those things are cute right" pointing to the creatures in the play pen.

Care of Magical Creatures. The lesson Abbi most enjoyed and for the particular reason that it all had to do with the most intriguing and dangerous creatures that existed in the magical world. What would have always interested Abbi most though would have been a lesson on fairies, well the small ones that witches and wizards alike believed in considering they didn't believe in the other ones like she still did, or pretended to.

Wearing her 'invisible's wings for today, the second year made her way outside. This was the one lesson she allowed herself to still wear wings to in comparison to last year where she wore them almost daily. She spotted the sign outside barnyard and headed towards the playpen where she saw the early birds, already there.

"Ola Professors." A beamy smile followed and then she entered the pen.

Ohhh. What were those bouncy thingies? COOL STUFF ALREADY. Could she touch?

Clad in a pink shirt and pants aside from his denim blue jacket Leo headed down to the playpens for the COMC lesson that Piers and Javy had invited him to attend. With Wilhelmina bouncing on his right shoulder the mop haired librarian followed the stream of student's into the playpens.

Waving to Javy and Piers as he passed them Leo found himself a place in playpens where he wouldn't block any of the student's views. And besides he wasn't too comfortable wearing all the pink he had on.

Lux liked Care of Magical Creatures, and it was even better when the class was taking place in nice weather.

Spotting the sign indicating where she was supposed to go, the girl made her way towards the play pens. "Hello Professors. Hello, Mr. Kitridge." Smiling at them, she made her way inside and over to her friends Bay, Sander, and Alex. "Hey guys!"

Standing by Bay, she saw the fluffy creatures in the pen with them. Awwww. Could she pick one up? Please?

Pink.

Not one of Nigel's favorite color and that is one of the reasons he did not own anything in that color. He did not really have anything bright either. Why would he ever need bright clothing unless he was running at night when he was home. Which he did not. So normal clothes it was. It did not say mandatory, only preferred.

And what were those things?

Nigel kind of wanted to kick them and see what happens. But the two Professors and the Librarian put a stop to him actually wanting to do it. "Hello Professors and Hello Mr. Kitridge"

Still Nigel had to rub his eyes from all the bright clothes in this 'play pen' thing.

Sophie's last Charms lesson at Hogwarts... that was so, so sad! She didn't mind it being combined with a CoMC, though. It was cool having another lesson of those after such a long time. She reckoned it wouldn't be that useful, since she wasn't taking CoMC NEWTs or anything, but the Charms part was going to be BRILLIANT as always. She just knew it.

Anyway, the Hufflepuff actually had a pink-ish t-shirt somewhere in her trunk and she wore that. When she finally arrived at the play pen... wow. Some people took this wearing-pink thing very seriously! Especially the professors. Whoa, haha! "Hello, professors!" Sophie greeted them with a smile before glancing at the bouncing creatures. N'aw, they were cute. But not enough to make Sophie want to go and touch them, heh, so the seventh year found a place to stay not in the very front but not at the very back either.

Was he really going to attend another Professor Lame's classes? Ugh the man bring another bird out and he was out of there. Shuffling his frog slippers down the grass towards the barn he saw that students were going a different way. Well this was different, with a shrug he followed the rest of them to the play pens where he noticed Fuller standing.

Oh there would be someone else doing the lesson too? Sweet maybe it wouldn't be so lame then. "Hello" He gave to both men more looking towards Fullar than Thompson. Finding his place for the lesson when it started, Bart looked at the creatures. They didn't look dangerous at all. So basically another lame one? Yep that's exactly what he figured in his mind. Though maybe they were charming one of them.

He decided he'd give it a chance, but only one chance.

Mhmm. Marigold was in a good mood, and the cause of that was a reply back to Maureen that morning. Thanking her sarcastically for her "gift," along with a question on what the last lacy thing was. She knew that Maureen would write back in at least a day. Hopefully no more unidentifiable things.

The air smelled good to her. Breathing deeply, she skipped past the professors, giving them a cheery wave and "Hello."

Ahh, life.

Who said that real men don't wear pink?

Well.... That might be true. But Asher was wearing pink... hot pink. He really didn't have that mant bright colored shirts. But he did happen to have a hot pink shirt. Why? He had no idea. Good thing he dud have it so he could wear it to the lesson today.

He spotted the sign pointing him down to the play pens. He nodded to both professors as he passed them "Good day, professors?" He trotting on over to the rest of the group. What in the name of Merlin were those things. He spotted Lux and walked over it her nodding and giving her a friendly wave.

As excited as he was about this, Alec Blake Summers did not wear pink.

Nothing personal, he just... didn't have anything pink. A lot of time had been spent tossing clothes this way and that and trying to remember the colour changing spell, making the seventh year boys dorm look more disheveled and messier than ever. So... he opted for the next best: red and white.

With his hands tucked deep into his pockets and his bag swinging by his side, the eighteen year old made his way over towards the barnya-- ... Oh? Locked? Why was it locked? He squinted over at the sign which was pointed over at... the playpens, right? They were that a way, yeah? Which meant more walking. Right.

When he finally reached the right place where the lesson was meant to take part, Alec pushed open the gate, headed inside and closed the gate behind him before heading over towards the... whoa! That was a lot of pink. "Hello Professors! Hey Mr Kitridge!" he called, nodding and smiling over at the three of them. And if Kitridge was here, that meant...

... there we go! Prefect Punny was here. Grins for you, Nigel Barrington.

Okay so maybe Benny would have liked to have the direct directions to the class for the announcement, instead going the round-about way following the signs once he met the locked doors. It was only a lucky thing it was a few steps more to the ultimate location even if these days every step was more than enough for the second year. So he made his way in the direction of the pens, eying the multicolored forms of the professor and his classmates as they started gathering around. His own outfit wasn't the brightest, but he hoped the blue and bright green striped shirt was enough to be considered following the directions.

"Good day Professors...Mr.Kittridge" he greeted, adding the last as he noticed the librarian among them as well. The Gryffindor then moving closer to his friend still best when around a friendly face. "Hey..."

Care of Magical Creatures (and Charms).

Ella wouldn't miss this lesson for reasons and so she sported her brightest pink clothing, settling on a magenta top and lighter pink pants. No pink shoes to speak of, unfortunately, but she'd done pretty well all things considered.

It took her a bit to get to where the class would be taking place, more so because she was moving super slowly than because the venue had changed. When she finally did arrive, she smiled a little at all the colorful classmates, pushing her glasses up on the bridge of her nose so she could see properly. Professor handsome face 1 and Professor handsome face 2 looked like big handsome flamingos with hair which was amusing. And even Mr. library dude was getting in on the fun. Cool.

Stepping inside the gate, the eighteen year old gave the instructor dudes a big smile and wave. "Hello Professors, Mr. Kitridge." Then she wandered over to stand by Soph. Seemed fitting considering their favorite classes had joined up.

"Hey best friend person." Grin!

Pink? Yeah, Alice Fischer didn't do pink. She just didn't.

But the seventh year was more than happy to be obliging with the other requests. It was very easy to change the colors of some of her regular clothes to lime greens and popping reds and electric blues and neon oranges, shades all present in her attire for the class. They HAD asked for bright, right? Better bright than pink.

The seventh year showed up at the pens exactly on time, striding in and examining the fluffy creatures for a bit.

... bouncy. Squealing. Ew. Gonna stay away from those, she was.

There was NO WAY Alexa Cambridge was showing up to ANY class wearing PINK. Not even. Seeing that notice on the board did very little to influence her either. Pink, hideous colour it was and she didn't fancy putting herself in it even if it was something of a requirement. It just said bright and patterned with pink being preferred, not that it was a MUST so the Gryffindor showed up in a bright neon BLUE coloured top and a some faded blue shorts. Not everything she owned was eye popping, sue her.

The sign told her she'd headed the wrong way and Lex quickly corrected this, heading for the playpens. Getting there, her nose went into instant wrinkle mode. So MUCH pink. Ugh. Could she maybe be excused from this lesson.

"Hello Professor Fuller." Him being the first of the two her eyes caught. "Good Day Professor Thompson." Oh hey, Mr Kitridge was here too! He got a wave and a small smile before she went to take a look at what everyone was so fascinated with.

....Oh neat! "My Kneazle would love some of these." Legit.

Michael had no idea why they had to wear something pink. He didn't own anything that was pink. He was a guy for goodness sakes, he didn't wear that particular colour, even though Zahra insisted that it looked good on him.

He rolled his eyes just thinking about that as he made his way to the playpens. It was just lucky that his girlfriend did like pink and she had lots of pink things so he borrowed a scarf from her and placed it on his forehead, tying it at the back of his head, so he looked like...something stupid most probably.

"Yo Professors." He greeted as he passed them before finding a spot to stand.

And yeah, yeah the creatures were cute and fluffy but he wasn't going to go all silly over them, he was wearing a pink headband after all, he was being silly enough.

Beverly felt extremely silly as she made her way down to the playpens. Not being owner of anything pink she had to borrow from Silver. There was no way she was going to be left out from the activity or risk not earning full points. Luckily, Silver ADORED pink so it wasn't even much of a hassle to ask. Beverly ended up wearing a bright pink cardigan that reached a few inches above her knees. Down side: tall friend meant looking silly in their clothes.

SIGH.

Reaching the playpens she spotted the professors and the librarian. "Good day, sirs," she greeted, rolling her sleeves up so they wouldn't cover her hands. Stupid large cardigan.

Oh. Wait. LOOK. CREATURE.

Well, hello to you too! Beverly shot it a fingery wave. HI. HI.

It was quite a lovely day for once lately with Javy. Whether it had to do with the influence on all the bright colours or not.. least he didn't have to pretend being cheerful as he returned each students wave with a "Good morning." Oh lookie, even Leo and his Wilhelmina came. His gaze may have been a little hardened with the smile, he liked his friend, but was still recovering from certain books. Ahem.


"Hello there, everyone. Glad to see majority of you take into consideration on what to wear today." So no points taken. Goood. "Today we will be roaming with the Puffskeins and learning their behaviors in addition to taming them." Just to inform on certain things first. "Now before we get to that, can anyone share a fact on what they already know on them?"
