Default Barn and Pastures



Similar to the Magical Creature Sanctuary, the barn is an enclosure that contains a variety of creatures scattered about, mostly ones that need to be kept inside during the winter. In the spring and fall, many of these creatures will be allowed out into the Sanctuary where students can continue looking after them. The Hogwarts barn itself is a well-aged and well-maintained structure located a distance from the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Like most structures here on the grounds, it's bigger on the inside than on the outside, with tidy enclosures for each of the breeds of animals kept for the use of the school. Out of the great back doors that swing open, fences lead to open pastures. The wooden and stone fences are charmed to prevent any kind of creature (or student) from escaping.

Students are welcome to visit the barns and accompanying pastures any time they are not in class, meals, or after curfew. Grab feed from the bins by the door, take one or more of the creatures out for some air, or give the winged horses a good rub down. Whatever you do, remember to treat the creatures with respect and care, especially the ones with sharp teeth and hooves bigger than your heads.

Most animals within this enclosure are rated X, XX, or XXX. Some animals reside in stalls, others are in coops or cubbies, some are in the loft above your head, and some are just regular mundane barn creatures. Please remember your skill level, year, and familiarity around animals when visiting the Barn and Pastures.

Yeah no, William was not going to lug the crate containing Rufus and Fiona into the barn by hand. What did he look like, a Muggle farmer? He was levitating their cage ahead of him, wand in his left hand, and carrying a can of salmon with the other.

"Come on, kneaaaaaazles," he pstpstpstt'd the ones from his lesson. Hopefully the SMACK (see me after class kids) were here already, because he'd told them to go on in and get some shovels. He actually really needed their help.

Shovel in hand and faithful kneazle right at her heels, Isla was standing nearby when the professor came strolling up. She opened her mouth to say something, but the sight of the levitating Wampus kittens got her tongue. Those poor kittens probably hated them. Anyway, in the time since she'd left class, Isla had come up with two ideas.
  1. These animals needed some kind of crate training or something.
  2. She could at least start explaining how innocent she was, and then maybe she's stand a two percent chance of being dismissed.

...and here were the results of those thoughts.
  1. She was NOT going to reveal her crate training idea, because WWW had a weird sense of humor, and he'd just end up volunTELLing her to do it or ELSE. But seriously, there was an unhealthy amount of poop in here, and something had to go.
  2. She was going to launch into that explanation right about NOW.

"Sir, please let me explain. I had no idea I had to ask for permission to have this kneazle. My mom bought her for me in Diagon Alley, and I brought her on the train with me thinking she was an approved pet. On the train, somebody told me I had to have permission, which...I didn't," she said. PAUSE. BREEEEAAAAAATHE. "When we got to school, I had no idea what to do with her, and I was afraid you'd take her from me, so I hid her. BECAUSE I LOVE HER. I never meant for this to be breaking so many rules, though."

Okay but could he have Sparky back?

He was here, shovel in hand, waiting as Kitt rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet. At any rate, he looked to be less nervous than Isla was and her whole spiel just now confirmed as much. He wasn't sure what was going on there. Before he got here, he didn't know what a kneazle was, but he didn't see them on the approved list so he wouldn't have gotten one anyway.

BUT.

But.

But then he met Sparky and he knew for a fact the kneazle was as crazy about him as he was about the kneazle. "If she keeps hers, can I keep Sparky for real?" They were both now shoveling dung, along with his dormmate--HEY DORMIE--and his prefect. "I was proper serious about working for the chance to keep him. Get some hair on my chest--not that I don't have hair on my chest. Manly men like us know all about that, eh Professor?"

He had like three. He was now apart of whatever club existed. The Professor probably only had three, too unlikely as that was.

Setting the can down and levitating the wampus cage into a corner stall, Williamson just grunted at Isla for now and busied himself with locking them up and putting up protective wards around their crate and the stall and all that stuff. It wouldn't look good for two wampus cats to go missing right before their American friends picked them up, would it? It also wouldn't be the first time he'd lost valuable animals, so.

Anyway. He picked up the salmon again and then busied himself with distributing into various bowls and troughs for the kneazles. They were free-range, they'd be fine. As for THESE TWO KNUCKLEHEADS in question.......

Hmmph. He shoulda known Bellchant would be that kid who had mummy or daddy buy her whatever she wanted. She looked like the type. Rich, privileged, clean. Lazarus, on the other hand....? He was just young, kinda dumb, maybe new to this stuff. Maybe even a Muggleborn, not that it mattered to WWW. It was just like.... y'know, kneazles? They weren't DRAGONS, come on. Owning a kneazle was not going to give ya chest hair, lad. Sorry. Take it from this old man.

"Okay, here's the deal." He leaned up against the wall. "We'll let your work ethic determine if you can keep the kneazles or not. Whoever scoops the most poop in the next," he glanced at his watch because he really didn't want to miss HIS dinner, never mind the animals' dinner time, "half-hour will get to keep their kneazle. The other one of ya is on early morning wake-up call to feed the rest of the cats in the barn. Every morning. Till Christmas. Got it?" He gestured for them to get to work, moving the various piles of poop and turds and liquified poo from wherever it was to the manure pile out the back doors.

And they'd better hustle, too. The sun was setting. Other animals would be waking up soon.....

Isla should have known that WWW would take his dear, sweet time in answering her. She watched, shovel still propped up in her hand, as he got the kittens situated, fed the kneazles, had his dinner, washed the dishes, took a shower, went to sleep, .... Okay, so she was rambling and making stuff up there toward the end, but the silence did feel like it went on forever.

Finally, he spoke.

Wait a minute. So she and Kitt had to do the SAME amount of work for Kitt to get a FREE kneazle and for her to keep her own, personal pet that she'd brought from home? ... There were so many shouts of 'BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR' ringing through her mind, but she wasn't a fool. She was dang lucky, and she knew it. However, she had a silent conversation with WWW in her mind. It went a little something like this:

You know, there's a third shovel in there. How much you gonna scoop to keep all your kneazles? Blah, blah, blah...

WAIT, WHAT? Early morning wake-up calls 'til Christmas?! That got her attention and shut 'er up (in her mind, at least).

She sighed and started scooping up poop. "Keep my kneazle where, Sir?" she asked. "Still under my bed, or...?" Also, would he mind if she cast a Bubble-head Charm? Something? Anything? That would be her next question after he tackled the two she'd just asked.

"Don't worry, Professor! I caught him!" Morgan had finally caught up to Charlie the kneazle after the poor feline ran away, spooked from the Wampus during the class activity. And if Morgan was honest, he had been a little spooked too, but he wasn't going to admit that to anyone. It had just been an initial surprise as the wampus tried to pounce on them both anyway.

At any rate, he was now carrying the kneazle with one arm again as he followed them all back towards the barn, dragging a shovel behind him as asked. He hadn't forgotten that he was asked to stay after class, even if he thought it was a super weird reason. McCarthy wasn't that hard to spell. But Williamson could also ask his mum for permission for him to keep this kneazle too, when he wrote to her. He was sure she'd say yes since Gunnar had a kneazle and Chloe had a cat, even if she hadn't yet said yes when he'd asked. But with the professor personally asking her, she had to say yes!

Wait, poop? Morgan had just caught the tail end of what Williamson said to the other two and he pulled a disgusted face, until he realized it was a competition. He was really good at those! "You mean only one of us gets to keep a kneazle though?" That wasn't really fair! He set his kneazle down on the ground. "Don't worry, Charlie. I'm totally going to win this!" And then they could be best buds forever.

And even though this was totally gross and stunk really bad, Morgan hopped over towards the pile and started shoveling. He had a kneazle to win!

Carsyn wasn't exactly sure what she was prepared for when she asked about making it up to him after class. She still wasn't even sure he was going to let her keep her gerbil on her presence, which was something largely kept in her dorm until this dumb mistake she made.

A shovel though, eh? Her younger peers had made it there first and she gave them a brief nod as she just listened. Wait, so they all wanted to compete for a kneazle to keep as a pet? She felt like the odd one out and wondered if she was the only one who volunteered to help after class as a makeup? Also did that mean she wasn't in competition with them for most poop shoveling since she didn't care about keeping her Sleepy kneazle?

She just needed to do a good enough job for her own competition to warrant that she was responsible enough to keep her gerbil still.

What???

"That wasn't part of the deal." Kitt pointed out, thinking the Professor must've forgotten with that clearly long walk over to the barn. He hadn't said anything about the rest of any of that and Kitt wasn't so sure this was legal. "Besides, if Isla already has a kneazle, you can let her keep hers." He didn't have one, he wouldn't be losing anything and could come see these any time he wanted.

"Whatddya say we put this whole business of competition behind us, eh Professor? I'm happy to help clean the barns if you need the help. I'm helpful all the time at home." Plenty helpful, no worries there.

But then his dormmate spoke and well. loyalty, y'know? "Actually, if he's got a kneazle, too, I say let him have it instead. Morgan's pretty alright." He wasn't sure what's the Prefect's situation was.

Pretty soon, the whole lot of them had arrived which was PERFECT. There was a LOT of poop to scoop up, and apparently, Isla had to come out on top as the 'Poop Scoop Winner' to keep her own kneazle. Her parents would be so disappointed in her for losing Maleficent. She scooped up more poop as the others arrived. She was the youngest here and shovel work was HARD. Not to mention that Morgan sounded pretty determined to win this one.

It was only when Kitt spoke up that Isla stopped scooping. As bound and determined as she was to fight for her own kneazle, she felt really bad for Kitt. He must be something like...the sweetest boy Hogwarts had to offer. Isla had only thought Blake was the only record holder for that one, but this Kitt Lazarus just made her heart skip a tiny beat. "Thank you, Kitt. If I get to keep Maleficent, you should come with me to feed her and visit with her."

As for the other two, Isla knew they wouldn't let her have this one so easily, so she quietly got back to scooping. WWW, she noticed, had been quiet for some time. "Professor, the kneazles are still pooping while we're scooping. It's like a never-ending circle," she pointed out. And yes, she knew that was only natural of them, but unlike the kneazles, the students had a deadline to meet.

"So are you volunteering for cat care the rest of this semester, Lazarus?" William had conjured up an old aluminum lawn chair and was juuuuuuust settling down in it when well well look, look what the kneazle(s) dragged in. McCarthy and Rose were here.

Dubya was doing a good job of being vague with directions here, wasn't he? In lieu of answering any more, William summoned a cold ginger ale from his hut and popped it open with a loud, "Shhhhhhhhh." Obviously he wasn't going to take Bellchant's kneazle, which mummy and daddy had paid for, away from her. It was called lying to the children to motivate them, hadn't they heard of that pedagogical technique? Sheesh.

Also, erm, he hadn't planned to have McCarthy shoveling poop. But if the kid wanted to, more power to him. He'd address that ruffian and his wannabe kneazle....later, once all the poop was moved.

"Welcome to pet ownership, Bellchant," he chuckled properly at her obvious discomfort. "Ya wanted her at school, and now you get all the joys of caring for her." And approximately 42 of Maleficent's best friends.

As for Rose, the late, late prefect: "I have a different idea for youuuuuu, ma'am." He gestured toward her with his ginger ale can. "I forgot that Lazarus had already volunteered himself for extra cleaning and lessons and all that, so he can lay off the shoveling for now." Especially since McCarthy had taken it up with gusto. "You two Gryffindors are going to go Gryffindoring up there," again, gesturing with his can, this time to the top of the barn, "and are going to make some space for all these extra kneazles. I wanna see straw laid down, some blankets and rags, maybe a box or two for them to get comfy... but NO food. Food stays down here. And no water bowls, either. Some of the kneazles like to lay in 'em." The weirdos.

He had borrowed a few extra kneazles from here and there for the purposes of the wampus lesson, to ensure that every kid got a chance to work with at least one feline. They didn't all think that he was a cat hoarder, did they?! No, he had about two dozen too many cats now and would be giving them back to their real owners or breeders later this week. So it was unlikely he was going to allow any of the kids to formally adopt one, much less keep it in the castle. But that discussion could wait; the cats needed a resting spot now. Some of them had finished eating already and were, indeed, pooping near Isla so that she could efficiently move their poo. Smart, weren't they?!

"Cheerio, back to work." He took another sip of ginger ale. "Oh, and watch out for any gargoyle guano in the loft from last year." They'd liked the loft a lot, or so Nostredame had said. OHHHH, and one more thing, "Yer mum's name is Minerva, and your dad's is........?" Remind him, McCarthy? Wheatborn, that name had definitely rung a bell, as the kid's sister had said it in class.

Uhhh...?? What was happening? Morgan paused only briefly in his poop shoveling as Kitt spoke, turning to look at his dormmate. "Oh.. that's really nice of you, Kitt..." And it was nice. Really nice. But it was kind of making him look bad.

Back to shoveling poop. He did have a competition to win after all. But it was less fun when he wasn't really competing after all, not when the others weren't going to. He tried holding his breath to keep the smell from reaching his nose as he shovel the poop out the door, but it made it really hard to breathe so it didn't last long. "Hey, Professor," he said between holding breaths as he shoveled and shoveled. "Can't we all have a kneazle, like if we work real hard? I mean... there's a whole lot of them here.." He stopped a moment and looked around. There were dozens. Who had that many cats? He was like some crazy old cat lady.

Wait... which two Gryffindors? There were three of them, was he one of the Gryffindors that should get the kneazle space all comfy? He looked up towards the top of the barn where Williamson was pointing. That seemed like a much better task than poop shoveling. And he was just about to ask what gargoyle guano meant when a question was directed towards him. "My dad's name is Ethan. E-T-H-A-N," he helpfully spelled for him, knowing that he had some troubles in that area.

Kitt rubbed awkwardly at the back of his neck, offering his dormmate and Isla a wide, boyish grin. "It's nothin'. I never had a kneazle in the first place." Besides, Isla said he could play with hers. That was enough. Didn't seem right to compete. That would be like...like if his sister got the last cookie...and...and he decided they had to wrestle for it when she'd clearly already taken it fair and square.

Wasn't his style.

Apparently shoveling wouldn't be in the cards for him either? Ehh? But he'd just said he was fine with it. Not like he wouldn't be doing it anyway--ah, that's why.

He almost asked what "gryffindoring" entailed but thought better of it and headed up to the loft. "Heeeyyyyyy, I could probably move in up here, too." He called back down. "I don't think the kneazles would mind. I could be like those stable hands that sleep in the barn with the animals in case something comes up." There was the poop. Merlin, this was a lot. "Reckon my closet can go back there. I don't own much. The bed right here. zer...the kneazles.....over there."

This could work.

Willy let out a breath that sounded a lot like "Kids these days."

"We'll talk about kneazle adoption AFTER the work is done." He was old-school in that he mostly thought kids couldn't work and talk at the same time, at least, not when they were in a time crunch and the minutes were ticking down to dinnertime. He'd be dragging this whole lot in after curfew smellin' like the barn if they didn't get done soon. Also, "just as a reminder, even if you DO get a kneazle, they can't stay in the castle. The Headmaster thinks they're too destructive to be indoor pets." That's right, he was shifting the bad-guy blame to someone else, even if he did agree with the bossman.

E-T-H-A-N. Right. Like Dubya couldn't spell that. Wait, did he say Wheathin or Ethan? He shook his head and pretended to write it down on his palm, never mind that he didn't have so much as a pen on him.

Now, as for Lazarus... this one geniunely concerned WWW. First off, who in their right mind was this cheerful about any little task? It set off a few alarm bells leftover from some training or another he'd had about child welfare. Or whatever. PLUS, alarm bell #2, he was talking about moving IN to the BARN.

"Wha--- whoo---" Willy shook his head at the boy. "You know you have a bed in the castle until at least June, Lazarus?" Right? He might be new, but he DID grasp that? "As much as I appreciate your help, you don't have to SLEEP out here, kid. It's much more comfortable inside."

Living with the animals might be TOO dedicated, and WWW didn't often turn down offers of help. Also, if Kitt slept out here, would HE look bad if he stayed in his hut? Willy scratched the top of his head thoughtfully.

Rose wasn't a late late prefect. Everyone else was simply early and it seemed everyone else - read, mostly Gunnar's kid brother - had taken to shoveling poop and Carsyn was about to begin when the Professor WWW was gesturing towards her with another idea. No poop for her? Okay then, if it had to do with recycling ginger ale cans, she could do that tooo.... but before she really had allowed her thoughts to linger he was talking about her and the other gryffindor - Kitt maybe? - going on top of the barn?

"So can the kneazles... they can bunk together right? Or do we need to put up mock barriers to keep them separate?" It was a valid question, because to be honest, she wasn't sure if kneazles got spayed or neutered and she was pretty sure WWW didn't want to have to deliver kneazle babies in a few months. As she waited for his answer, the sixth year was climbing up to the top to lay down some straw and Kitt was asking about moving into the barn??? UM?? Should she be concerned about the third year boy dorm? Carsyn made a mental note to have Lucas check in there at some point and make sure everything was up to par.

*blink*

WWW was just going to conjure up a chair and sit around? WHAT A SELL OUT. They were his kneazles, too! Isla went on and on complaining in the silence of her mind, because saying anything out loud would only dig her into a deeper hole of trouble. She scooped up a good pile of poop, thinking to herself that she may as well get this over with. The sooner, the better.

She only looked up when Dubya welcomed her to pet ownership. "Pet ownership is me owning Maleficent. What you have is a zoo," she pointed out. Nevertheless, she scooped up another pile of poop. She'd recently discovered that the reason the hat had placed her in Slytherin is because of her determination and ambition. This was, in a sense, a competition. She had a bit of a drive to this.

So Kitt and Carsyn got to lay out straw while Isla dealt with the foulest smell Hogwarts had to offer? Whatever. She was just ready to get this over with. She paused and glared at a random kneazle who took a moment to add some poop to the pile. Go away. Go get in your new straw bed.

Speaking of straw beds, what was up with Kitt volunteering to scoop poop, clean the barn, and sleep on the straw? He was such a cutie to be volunteering his life away like a good ole loyal Hufflepuff.

So.....that was a no?

He knew the castle was more comfy but figured with all the time he’d end up spending out here when he wasn’t at class, it couldn’t hurt to just make a bed out here for himself. Apparently, though, that wasn’t an option. Kitt gave a silent nod as he climbed back down to get some straw for the beds. He understood. He’d have to make the walk all the time but that was okay, too! He got to see the grounds more.

The Gryffindor grabbed and hugged close to him a large bunch of straw but paused at the ladder.

“Er....Professor....how do I get back UP with the straw?” Maybe he should start with the blankets. Those he could easily throw over his shoulder then climb back up. They required less...attention from his arms.

And how much straw did kneazles need?

"You guys are gonna have to work together," Williamson directed Kitt and Carsyn first. And as for the prefect's question: "Yes." Er. He HAD checked that they were all fixed, right? He didn't remember in this very moment, and eh, he didn't care that much. They weren't his personal kneazles anyway. William gestured for 2/3 of the Gryffindors to get back to work.

So if Kitt starts climbing the ladder... "Now, Carsyn, when he's almost to the top, you'll hand him or magic him up the straw." He'd let the prefect use magic, but not the others. Also, she was the eldest here, besides him, so she OUGHT TO BE responsible.

And then there was Bellchant, still complaining about a little manual labor. Willy let out a LONG SIGH, loud enough that she'd know it was for her, and took another sip of soda. "Heeeeeeeere, kitty kitty," he cooed to the one who had just pooped by Isla. "Good GIRL." He gave the kneazle some head rubbin' and scritches behind the ear. Because she was just being her NATURAL SELF and there was NOTHIN' wrong with that, Bellchant.

Isla was silent for a bit as she scooped more and more poop. She was just ready to get this over with. She was going to take seventeen showers when she got back to the common room. At the sound of Dubya's sigh, Isla looked up. Okay, so he was getting annoyed at her, but in her defense she was

SCOOPING. UP. POOP.

So there was that that, too. And she caught that little gesture of love and attention he gave the kneazle that had just pooped. Great. Thanks, Sir.

"Professor," she said, as she scooped up a good steaming pile, "I apologize for not asking to bring Maleficent to school, for hiding her under my bed, for nearly killing the wampus, and for complaining about the punishment." Was there anything else she'd forgotten to apologize for? If so, she apologized for that, too.

Oh, he supposed that made sense. Wait, there was a SPELL to make you get straw?? That was a real thing? Kitt didn't know when he'd need it outside of this but this was still pretty useful. "Can you teach me that sometime, Professor? For when I'm helping out in here?" He'd be coming for months and doubted there would be other kids in detention the whole time to help him with the lifting and moving things.

With a game plan now in place, Kitt dropped the straw then climbed the ladder back to the top. It was only after he twisted to accept the straw from Ms. Prefect that he heard Isla apologizing.

The Gryffindor was no expert on all this but if she was, it was probably the thing to do. She seemed awful sensible, minus the thinking she'd keep a cat under a bed with no one noticing the whole time. "I'm sorry too, Professor. I don't reckon I know what mad you so mad," Was mad even the right word? He had to be if he'd given him detention when he was already slated to help with all this stuff. "But you must've been so sorry about that."

He was hoping there'd at least be an explanation. With all the time he currently had to spend helping, he didn't think he'd wanna give away free time doing the same thing.

William nearly headpalmed AGAIN at Lazarus. "I mean... she'll magic it UP to you. Like, levitate it UP to the loft." He supposed he could be at blame for that misunderstanding, though also, come to think of it, one COULD conjure up straw? Er, no, that went against one of Gamp's Laws. Didn't it? Wasn't food a thingy, an exception to the rules? But straw wasn't usually that edible, it was hay that the animals needed, and straw was tougher and used more for bedding and seating for the kids during the large lecture classes...

Whilst Williamson debated these things in his head, his gaze likely looked spaced out and open-mouthed to the kids in the barn. When the kids started apologizing, he snapped back to the present.

"Oh?" Bellchant was sorry now, was she? AND Lazarus? Though that was a lazy apology if he ever heard one. The Creatures professor made sure to take a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal long sluuuuuuuuuuuuurp of the last of his ginger ale before he replied to either of 'em. REAL LONG. And he did the exaggerated lip-smacking sigh of satisfaction for 'em too.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"Fine, you can go inside," he dismissed the girl first with a wave of his (now empty) pop can. "You're done here, I suppose. BUT the kneazle has to stay," William still gestured with the can toward the loft at the top of the barn, "up here. Kneazle has to stay outta the castle, the Headmaster said so. You can keep her here all year or take her home on a Hogsmeade weekend or a break, but she can't live under your bed."

All clear then? He wasn't even going to ADDRESS the wampus fiasco lest he get his blood pressure up.

As for the boy, "Yeah, whatever, Lazarus. You're not keeping a kneazle." There. Boom. Decided. TO be honest? William was about to space out again. He'd already forgotten why he had called Kitt here??? The lad must have done SOMETHING dumb though.... Willy took a sip of his can of soda and then remembered it was empty. Oh. Right, well at least dinner hadn't happened yet, right?

Was that Kitt's way of saying he didn't want to share a dorm with him? Morgan paused in his shovel and gave him a questioning look when the other boy offered to sleep in the barn instead of his own bed. Okay, it might have been cool for like a sleepover or something, but for the whole school year? It would get old, especially the smell.

And then they were apologizing, Kitt and Isla. Morgan wasn't exactly sure what was going on. Was he supposed to apologize too? He hadn't done anything wrong though and was just here to help the professor spell his parents' names and prove that he was enough of a hard worker to earn his very own kneazle. So he turned back to shovel the last of the poop.

It looked like it was time to go and Morgan was kind of glad. This was hard work! But he turned to look back at the professor again after putting his shovel away. So Isla got to keep her kneazle and Kitt wasn't allowed one? He furrowed his brow together. "What about me, Professor? Can I keep Charlie? He can stay out here in the barn, I won't hide him under my bed." He'd take real good care of him, promise!

Isla had to fight long and hard...literally loooooooooooooooooooong and haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard...not to roll her eyes when WWW made a show of things. All the sipping and slurping just to prove a point to them. Alright, alright. Point taken.

She was DONE?! Really?!

She started to just toss the shovel to the side and take off running, but then he brought up Maleficent and regained her attention. "Yes, Professor," she said. On one hand, she wanted Maleficent to stay here, so she could go see her anytime she wanted. On the other hand, she didn't want Maleficent to stay in the barn either. She had some time to think about it.

It seemed he was done with her and on to talking with Kitt again, so Isla took a few minutes to return everything back where it belonged and get cleaned up. After hugging Maleficent goodbye for now, the second year headed back to the castle.

If she ever misbehaved again, she'd make SURE not to get caught by the professor who could punish her with POOP...

Ohhh .... okay, soooo apparently she was going to be standing at the bottom to hand Kitt the straw. Or wait, nevermind. Professor W just gave her the go-ahead to use magic??? Then again, she reckoned from listening that she was here in the barn for a different reason. They all wanted kneazles, whereas she was here because she was an idiot and brought kneazle bait to a cat lesson.

Yes what? Yes to keeping them separate or bunking together? She was going to assume that it was a yes to the first question that they can bunk together, because well, W hadn't elaborated and it was definitely the easier option to have them all bunking together. And hopefully there wouldn't be any baby kneazles tomorrow morning or well... how ever long it took for kneazles to procreate.

Just as she was about to levitate some straw up to the younger housemate, she paused. Why were Kitt and Isla apologizing? Was that there way of getting to keep a pet? What HAD they done?? Something dumb as well? Was being an idiot a sub-category of being a Gryffindor?

"I'm sorry too about bringing Cleo to the class. And thank you, for your wampuses not eating it." Although she wasn't sure he really did anything to stop the wampuses. Also she wasn't going to bring up on where her gerbil would be residing cause she wasn't particularly sure that the housing was suitable in a barn for a gerbil. Keeping it safe in her dorm from now on was probably her best bet.

William didn't really want to go around giving away cats that technically weren't his to give. He eyed McCarthy. "Which one's Charlie again?" He'd have to check that it didn't belong to anyone in Hogsmeade first. And it helped that McCarthy realized the kneazle would have to stay out here, because that showed him that perhaps the boy had learned something (maybe even more than one thing) today.

He yawned a little and shook his head at Rose. "Uh, yeah." Well they wereren't HIS wampuses either; he really wasn't a catnapper, okay?! "But about Cleo." The mountain gerbil, or whatever it was called. "You gotta take Cleo home. I can't guarantee," his? her? their? "the thing's safety here at Hogwarts. We have a lot of cats, okay? Cats, owls, rats, and so on, all live in the castle, and are PERMITTED to be here. And I just don't want to open a can of worms to allowing Merlin knows what other pets next."

So, please. Just take a hint and take the thing home on the next weekend. "Alright? You'll get rid of her?" Or it? He needed verbal confirmation from this Gryffindor.
