One of the areas on the grounds Professor Paton encourages students to get comfortable visiting is the barns, with the connecting pastures nearby. The barn is conveniently located by the meadow clearing in which Care of Magical Creatures lessons are held when the weather is good. Within the barn an array of magical creatures can be located, ranging from flobberworms to the winged horses and hippogriffs to everything in between; magical and mundane alike. This is also where specially approved pets are housed during the school term.
The inside of the barn is spacious in order for the creatures to feel most comfortable. Each has their own stall specially designed for them. Most animals within the barn or pastures 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. Each area is magically expanded inside to give the creature(s) maximum comfort and enough room should they need it. Please remember your skill level, year, and familiarity around animals when visiting the Barn and Pastures. If you have special permission to have a non-traditional pet, this is where it will stay during the school term.

Whereas Dhruv made it a point to give the Reptile Room a wide berth because of a certain creature it housed, they were not shy about visiting the creatures of the Barn and Pastures. The place was a good one for them to spend free time and to bond with both the creatures and humans. Because yes, there were often students there assisting Hady.
This morning, the DADA professor was up and about extra early as it was far easier on weekends to give the grounds more attention. With the plan to say hello to the creatures first then head off to complete Groundskeeper duties. They beeline for the Puffskeins immediately. “Good morning, Pepper. Dawn. Bubbles.” Yes, Dhruv knew each creature’s name that lived here.

Wouldn't it have been nice to have slept in this morning? Hady kept asking herself that as she made her way towards the barn. Now why hasn't she slept in? Well, besides the simple fact that she had many creatures that required her attention there was a certain crup who shall not be named Beans that had awaken her with his yapping. Which normally he did not do. Though it seemed that he needed to go outside this morning and was in a hurry. Therefore they were both now very much awake.
Giving the large barn door a good ole' tug, Hadleigh stepped inside and had a look around to quickly find herself not at all alone. "Well good morning, Dhruv. You're up bright and early this morning." Oh, how she loved to see others out here in the barn. Students and the rest of the staff alike.

Dhruv expected that Hady would be along soon enough. After all, how many times had they seen her working at the Barn when they were out tending to the grounds? “Good morning yourself, Hady,’’ Dhruv greeted, turning to face the woman as Bubbles the Puffskein bounced along up their arm and onto their shoulder. It was rather nice being on such good terms with the Barn creatures.
Would Hady mind if they adopted Bubbles, by the way?
“I was about to head to the Duck Pond to tend to it but then decided to say hi to your lovely creatures.” The DADA professor lightly poked at Bubbles as she bumped their ear playfully. “Need any help, Hady? I’ve got some extra time on my hands today.”

Dhruv didn't want an exact number now, did he? Cause if he did, it might take her some time to come up with it but she might eventually get there. Whether or not her answer would be correct, well that was uncertain. So could they say that it was safe to say they had come across one another a far amount of times? "Ah, good looking to you as well Bubbles. You're looking bright eyed and bouncing today," Hady replied with a small laugh. It was lovely to see her fellow colleague enjoying the company of one of the barn creatures.
Not at all! That would be super!
"Ah, I see! Well you're always welcome to visit the barn. I know for a fact that they enjoy when others more than just myself come to spend time with them." It was clear to see by how the acted. Hady could see it in how Bubbles had made their way up onto Dhruv's shoulder. The Puffskein wouldn't have done that if they were scared. "I would love some help actually, if you don't mind.. and then perhaps afterwards I could accompany you to the Duck Pond?" Consider it a trade if in helping one another. He helped her with the creatures on the barn and she would help him with the Duck Pond.
