And seemed these two were VERY willing to give her more treats, as the girl offered additional and Bess greedily gobbled them up before doing another lap around the children. Her tummy was quite satisfied, and now she was very eager for them to play with her. Though… she supposed if they DID want to offer more treats and pets she certainly wouldn’t refuse those either.

Commands, hm? Her head tilted at the human, curious as to if that was gibberish or an actual THING in their language.

“Yes, we should definitely be friends, Bess!” Was it anything bad if he bribed her into friendship with those back scratches she seemed to like from earlier? Jude tried this tactic, giving Bess all the scratches. And of course she could keep him! The older Hufflepuff enjoyed watching Bess jump all around, getting excited by the treats. “Wonder what those taste like,” he mused to Desiree. Speaking of his little fairy princess friend…

Oh, right!

Introductions! Jude had forgotten all about that, such was his excitement of having Bess with them. “Gosh, that completely slipped my mind!”

Jude had the experience with giving animals basic commands but this was only with his and Keigh’s kitties. Needless to say that he wasn’t always firm or strict about them obeying him. “Okay, here goes nothing. Sit, Bess. Please?” It was important to be friendly to animals too. To emphasise his command that really wasn’t a command, Jude too sat on the ground. He eyed the doggo expectantly.

Bess hadn’t the slightest idea, so she went with the easiest answer and just… moved her bum to sit on the ground like the boy was doing. Was this what he wanted?

Her eye was caught by weird pig like things running around a bit from the dogs. Did it want to play? Could she go play? She looked back at the boy expectantly.

Did she need to protect?

Then again, Bess wasn’t Ned, and Jude recalled just how reluctant Ned was to follow his commands at the initial stages of their friendship. He watched Bess watch him as he wondered how best to convey his command to her. The Hufflepuff was just about to pat the ground beside him in another gesture of encouragement when Bess suddenly sat. “Good girl!” he said enthusiastically, and reached to pat her head.

“Desiree, I hope you can channel your inner Snow White because it seems I’m not really good at commanding.” Maybe Ned just humored him by following his leads. Jude followed Bess’ gaze to see all the nogtails on the loose. Was he afraid of them? No. Not when Amstern had been so reassuring about the students being safe. “Um… how do we do this?” Jude climbed to his feet and turned to Desiree. “Do we just say ‘chase the nogtails’? And offer a treat at the end of the activity as a reward?” Jude lifted his shoulders in a thoughtful shrug. “Want to give it a try?” Since he wasn’t the commanding type apparently, just a simple, carefree soul instead.

Desiree giggled as Bess let her tongue loll out. Was she going to lick her? Dogs could be so licky sometimes! Cats too, come to think of it. Her dad used to have a cat that would lick everything, but that was beside the point. They were working with dogs, not cats! More giggles followed as the cute little doggy gobbled up allllll the treats and did a lap around them. So cute!!!

Hearing Jude’s question, she shrugged. “I don’t know, but if she likes them, maybe they’re good.”

Aww, look at that little head tilt! “Does the world look better from that angle, Bess?” Desiree said. She tilted her head in the same direction to find out. So far things didn’t look much different, but maybe Bess saw something she didn’t.

Oh, so they were going to try giving commands now. Desiree blinked, her blue eyes darting from Bess to Jude. Wait, why was he sitting? The command was for Bess, not him! Was that how dog training was supposed to be done? Did you have to do the trick yourself to show the dog how? That wasn’t how her grand-père did it! He would just give the command and give his dog treats or pets when they did it right, but who knows? Maybe he was doing it wrong all this time!

Was Bess just as confused as she was? Desiree glanced expectantly at the little doggy, waiting to see what she’d do next. The thought crossed her mind that it might help Bess if she sat down like Jude, but she was not looking forward to sitting on the icky ground! Luckily, it wasn’t necessary, as Bess figured it out for herself. Desiree beamed. “Good girl, Bess!” she said, joining Jude in giving her head pats. “Oh, you’re such a smart doggy!”

She reluctantly stopped petting Bess and looked up as Amstern started speaking. Hearing that the nogtails couldn’t curse anyone put her mind a little more at ease, but she still didn’t think she wanted to encounter one! She shuddered slightly, taking an automatic step back as the scary pig-things appeared. Part of her wanted to hide behind Jude again, but there was a job to do.

Desiree smiled at the Snow White reference. “I can try,” she replied. Matter of fact, she’d been trying to channel her inner Snow White all along! She thought for a minute. “I think treats are a good idea, but that command might be too long for her. Amstern said the dogs only know basic commands…” An idea occurred to her. “Maybe if we tell her to go and point her in the right direction, she’ll catch on.” It was worth a try anyway!

“Okay, Bess. Go!” she said, looking at the doggy once more. She pointed toward the nearest nogtail and took a small cautious step in that direction. Would Jude follow her? She didn’t want to get closer to it all by herself!
