Now then, "Before I unravel the doors here, by show of hands who has had experience with caring for a human infant? He definitely knew some in here did indeed have experience. He waited to get a good estimate of hands before moving on, "Alright. Even those who haven't are free to answer, what is one of the most important things they desire in order to live happily and healthy?"
Marsha’s had flew into the air. She had plenty of experience with children. Although she had been the only niece/grandchild for a long time in her family, her oldest aunts and uncles had started having children and she had helped to look after them… and now, now she had a gorgeous sibling.
”Professor, I have a baby sister called Alis, she turned one just before I came to Hogwarts.” Huge smiles.
”She needs sleep, somewhere warm and comfortable and where she knows she will be safe.” Because without sleep and rest, babies were loud and grumpy and meant that YOU didn’t get sleep due to them being over-tired. YES, sleep please.
SPOILER!!: Profffessssor Thomson who Marsha will now adore for ever and ever and ever and I’m so sorry if you can’t get rid of her…. >.<

“Right. Just as it is important to showcase that amount of love and care with newborn human infants, it is the same with all creatures.” Continuing, “Most magical creatures tend to not live very long without having a parental figure to supply the appropriate nutrients. So today we're going to stop that today with helping care for baby Griffins.” Cue the Professor finally turning to slide open the door of the horse-like pen where many little versions of them hawked and squawked around. Their front to the top of their head resembling an eagle with the back to the lower end and tail of a lion.
"Gather around here," After gesturing everyone to follow him inside they could see quite a number of them roaming around the woodchip flooring inside. "They are orphaned, but luckily old enough to not be as reliable for Griffin milk, so they will survive in captivity." So what did this mean? "Before we feed them, I'd like you all to get to picking one or even better, letting one choose you as you sit." Which the Professor then chose to sit down. "They'll try to nip or claw you when they show an interest, but not to worry, they aren't sharp enough to cause any sort of damage just yet."[/size]
Marsha was excited. She wanted to know what was behind the door. Surely, from this conversation it was a baby creature of some form - but … what that was? She had no idea. AND SHE DIDN’T CARE! ‘Cause it was an animal, something and somethings were always cute. Right? Right. Right. Wheeee. Come on Professor, let me seeeeeee.
With a grin, she bounced slightly on the balls of her feet, the anticipation was kiiiillllliiiiinnnnggggggg her! She just wanted to know who they would be helping today. Rusty, Adi, Cutty and more of her friends could verify her love for animals and that Care of Magical Creatures was one of her favourite things, ever.
And then he moved and opened the door.
Marsha gasped. And likely squeed a little, though as her hands cupped her face she couldn’t really hear anything other than her heart racing in her chest. THEY WERE SO CUTE. However, her heart broke as her hearing came back to Professor Thomson saying that they were orphans. No! No-one should ever be an orphan and left without someone to love them. Her Dad and his siblings were all orphans brought together by her Grandad and Grandpa, who to this day still fostered children even though they hadn’t adopted anyone since Uncle Connell. Her heart broke as she stood in the doorway. Nope, this wasn’t happening; her dad and her Grandpa had taught her to love. So that was going to happen.
Moving into the enclosure, she sat looking around them wondering if she would be told off for trying to hug them ALL… could she look after them all? IF they were orphans? Making a decision to talk to the Professor after class, she set that thought aside as she simply sat there waiting. She would give them a few minutes before she took action.
