Grounds: Barn & Pastures

[Kolyander]

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.

[FearlessLeader19]

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.
