Alex walked into the Nursery quickly finding Adorabelle. "Hey there sweetie." Alex greeted opening the cage and put the baby Knarl in the play pen. She watched the little baby wonder round before she put a bowl of milk aside in case the baby Knarl got hungry. She took out the assignment for this class and wrote

Alex closed it and watched her Knarl have fun smiling. So far so good she thought happily.

Bonnie walked in (trying not to run in), excitement tingling every inch of her. She was gonna meet her little imp. Aww! She would call it; Artemis... if it was a girl. Apollo, if it was a boy. Gooooo Greek gods! No, can't get distracted. She looked around. Nope. Nope. Nope. Where was her little Artemis? Then she stopped in her tracks. She walked backwards and looked into a stall. In the corner, a teeny chocolate brown imp lay curled up, shaking slightly. "Hello." She smiled and the tiny creature looked up and whimpered. Poor thing. Bonnie smiled and looked around. A girl. Yay! Artemis is! Bonnie pulled out her new journal for her Homework. She started to write.

SPOILER!!: Journal; Entry 1

Entry One.
Visit One; Meeting Artemis

I met the little imp. She seems VERY shy, whimpered when I said hello. She sat in the right hand corner, shaking.

Bonnie frowned. She carefully climbed into the stall, and walked, very slowly over to the little thing. It shivered. Then, Bonnie thought she saw a lightbulb switch over her head. It came to her. She remembered she had a cream blanket in her dorm. "Accio Cream Blanket!" Seconds later, the blanket whizzed into her hand. She half smiled, and knelt down next to the imp. It whimpered and tried to back away, though it was already far into the corner. "It's okay." Bonnie promised then wrapped the blanket around Artemis. She sighed in contentment and closed her eyes. Bonnie smiled and lifted the tiny creature and cuddled it, trying to warm it. Artemis placed her tiny thumb into her mouth and sucked it. "Hello, I'll call you Artemis..."

The imp shivered and curled up into a corner. She whimpered and hugged herself. It was awful. Every other imp had someone cooing over them, keeping them warm. She shivered. She felt coldness run over her again. Whimper. Then she heard a voice and looked up and saw a girl? Her own person? She almost smiled, then another ripple of coldness and she whimpered again. Then she opened her eyes and blinked at the girl who was writing something down. The girl climbed into her stall and looked at her. Shiver. Help me... please. The imp thought pleadingly. Then the girl had a blanket! Yay! Something warm! The girl came down to her and the little imp suddenly felt frightened. She tried to wriggle away. "It's okay..." She heard vaguely. The imp felt freezing now! Then she was warm. Really warm. Her freezing heart was melting, and now was warm. She felt really tired. She slipped her thumb into her mouth. Artemis? Yes, the imp liked that name. Now, she was being cuddled. Lovely. Everything was fading black...

Visit One; Meeting Artemis

I met the little imp. She seems VERY shy, whimpered when I said hello. She sat in the right hand corner, shaking. So, I wrapped her in a blanket and she fell asleep in my arms. She stopped whimpering and was clam and didn't shiver again.

Bonnie watched the little imp sleeping. She rocked it ever-so-slightly. She sighed. So cuuuutttttteee. The baby imp blinked and opened her eyes. Her big, brown eyes. She licked her lips, and Bonnie knew what the young imp wanted. She held it carefully and walked over to the cupboard. She pulled out some crickets and some grass. "Here you are." Artemis gratefully accepted the grass but made a face at the crickets. "A vegatrain? Cool." Bonnie smiled at the tired imp. She poured some warm milk with a drop of butterbeer into a little cup for the imp and left it in the stall. She spread hay around the stall and lay the imp down in the comfiest spot.

Visit One; Meeting Artemis

I met the little imp. She seems VERY shy, whimpered when I said hello. She sat in the right hand corner, shaking. So, I wrapped her in a blanket and she fell asleep in my arms. She stopped whimpering and was clam and didn't shiver again. Seems to be vegatrain so far. Wouldn't take the crickets. Happily took the grass. I left some warm milk with a drop of butterbeer in it in a cup and left it in the corner of the stall. Artemis seemed to have really taking a liking to me. I've got to go, can't wait till I see her tomorrow!

Bonnie smiled and hugged the imp. "Bye-bye, little Artemis!" She smiled sadly and climbed over the stall. She couldn't wait till the morning.

Artemis sipped the warm drink, ummmm.... She felt sleepy again and had the urge to yawn. The girl (Bonnie?) was saying bye? Ahhhh! Well, she would come back, right? Right. Artemis, with her stomach warm, snuggled into the blanket and fell asleep. Dreaming lovely dreams of more warm drinks and Bonnie coming back...

i'll edit later with more, gotta go...

It was late in the evening, and her bangs were pinned back, with a big, fancy clip. Gold hadn't actually chosen it deliberately. She had just grabbed the first clip on her bedside table, and this had been it. It didn't even match with her jeans and T-shirt but, you know, that was alright.

Dexter was more important.

She had to spend some time, spotting her babeh!creature. He wasn't up in his tree, and she couldn't find him anywhere. She didn't want to wander around, or disturb the other creatures, either. So she quietly looked around, until she spotted a pretty, red light, shining through a smallish, stubby-ish tree. Shaking her head, Gold wondered if that was Dexter. There were other clabberts around, and it could be anyone of them.

But better check.

She walked up to the tree, and called out softly.

"Dexter?"

Moments later, there was a flash of green, and a babeh was clambering out of the tree. Gold caught him, instinctively, and shook his head. "Silly boy," she said, though her tones were only loving, as she carried herself - and him - back to his tree. Where she proceeded to clean up the place. She used magic, of course. Easiest way. She vanished up any messes, watering a few, nearby trees that looked like they could do with a drink. Then she set Dexter down, and sat down next to him. She was going to try something new, today. See which food he liked, and which he didn't.

For which purpose, she had brought along a few mini-meals.

She began with the rice. Dexter picked out a few, chewing on them, but did not eat too many. Gold jotted that down, deciding it was a food she could give him, as he grew older. His teeth were pretty sharp, but not fully developed, and a softish variety of rice might be received more favourably. She would try that, next time she was here. For now, she offered him a bottle of butterbeer, holding it close to his mouth, and had to smile, at how eagerly he sipped it. She offered him a lump of sugar when he was done, understanding by his features that he considered it a treat.

Well, she knew what "rewards" she could give him when he was good, now. Butterbeer and sugar-lumps. What a lovely combination.

She didn't want to give him too much sweet stuff right now, though. That could overfeed him. So Gold finallyyy took out the dreaded diet of lizards, a little box which she opened, and held out for him. Dexter sniffed at them and then, to her amazing relief, refused them. Gold tried again, but the clabbert climbed up her shoulder, to cling to her neck, not taking the lizards. Surprised, but clearly happy, Gold vanished the little box at once, resolving to find out what insects he ate. Surely, he ate insects? She knew older clabberts did. They ate rice, too.

Which Dexter didn't seem to mind, even now.

She had already come to know that he liked to play, after he had eaten, but she decided to see what would happen if he didn't get to play. How important was it, for him to exercise after having had a meal? She tried to settle him into her lap, but the clabbert was extremely restless, and actually clambered out. Gold frowned, jotted down something down, and then reached for her bag.

She brought out a squishy, rubber-duck she had brought, and nudged it towards him. Dexter inspected it carefully, taking his time to eye it before finally touching it. When the rubber-duck emitted a softish squeak, not a loud one but still a noise that was fairly audible, the clabbert seemed delighted, and poked the toy again. Which, being charmed, sprang away, and fell a little way off. This seemed to give the clabbert a new take on this play business altogether, and he picked up the rubber-duckie, and began to climb his home!tree with one front limb, the other clutching the rubber-duckie. Which squirmed, and fell out of Dexter's grasp.

The babeh!clabbert wasn't disturbed, though. He reached for it again and, so involved was he in his play, didn't even notice that Gold was busy taking notes in a corner, eyeing him every now and then. Nearly fifteen minutes of play later, Dexter's eyelids had begun to droop, and he dropped the rubber-duckie himself, before climbing on to Gold's lap. Gold put her stuff away, stroking the clabbert to sleep and, once he had fallen asleep, settling him into the tree. Then, picking up her belongings, she decided to head to the Abraxan stables, where she could meet Ignacia.

Because she missed her abraxan.

Pam walked slowly into the nursery. She was excited but had never been there before so she was a little cautious. She did not know much about baby creatures but luckily, she had learned quite a lot during the previous CoMC lesson. There were many adorable baby creatures in their cages. She found a cage which had her name labeled to it and peered at the little creature in it. It was a baby kneazle! "Aww,you're so cute!" She whispered to it. Upon seeing her,the baby kneazle looked up. Pam cooed to the baby kneazle, trying to get it to come out of it's cage. After quite awhile,the baby kneazle slowly came out of it and sat infront of Pam. "Look what I have for you!" Pam whispered,as she squatted down and took out a bowl. She poured milk into it and placed it infront of the baby kneazle. It seemed to be observing her,and looked from the milk to her and then back again. "Go on!" She whispered excitedly. After a little while, the baby kneazle started to lick the milk from the bowl. "Aww...you're so cute! I think i'll name you...Hachi!" Pam said happily to the baby kneazle. After Hachi had licked up all the milk, it seemed to be rather tired. "You're sleepy aren't you?" Pam asked as she stroked it's fur. She carried Hachi back into it's cage and locked the cage properly. Pam watched as Hachi yawned and lay down. "I'll visit you soon,okay?" Pam whispered to Hachi before picking up the bowl and leaving the nursery.

Artemis woke, wondering why on earth she was so warm. The last time she woke, she was freezing to death. Then she felt fabric brush against her leathary skin and she smiled her impish smile when she remembered her person. She had a person! She burrowed further into the blanket, but after a while, she felt as though she had taken most of the heat out and wanted to play. Yep, she wanted to play. She kicked away the warm blanket and jumped over to the cup with the warm drink in it. There was a drop left. She sipped it. Yuck. Coooollllddddd.

Bonnie almost ran in, a bag of stuff hanging on her shoulder. It was a big bag... She cleared her throat, slightly red. There was a packet of biscuits she had gotten from the kitchens, a ball of thread and needles (she was gonna sow Artemis's name into the edge.) and a bottle of butter beer (for her and for the baby imp) and her journal. She walked into the nursery, excitement bubbling inside her. She ran to Artemis's stall and beamed. "Heya Artemis!" She cooed. The imp ran up and jumped up into Bonnie's arms. Laugh. "Have a good night sleep?" Artemis nodded excitedly. "Good." Bonnie hugged the baby imp and felt it's skinny arms wrap around her, it's claws clutching her muggle jumper. "C'mon. Let's go outside."

Bonnie carried the small imp outside and set it down in an empty pen. The imp ran wild. Bonnie grinned and sat on a slightly tall stone. Hmmm... Not very comfy. Ah well! She pulled out a single biscuit and held it out infront of the imp. She stopped very suddenly and stared at it, clearly interested. Artemis slowly walked up to the biscuit. She sniffed it caustisly and deciding that it was safe to it. She took it carefully in her tiny hands and licked the sugar off. She shoved the plain biscuit into her mouth and crumbs fell out of her mouth. As soon as the biscuit touched her thoung, the imp ran to Bonnie's bag and jumped inside it. Her little legs stook out and she came back out covered in crumbs. Bonnie laughed. She knew all to well what the little imp wanted.

Entry 2:
Visiting again for the Second Time

Well, when I came in, I thought 'It'll take a few times for her to reconise me, ah well!' But, I was really wrong! When she saw me, she jumped up into my arms. I tried to think of something to do, knowing I probably can't just watch her sleep again, I saw that she looked really excited, so, I had a sudden thought, 'She would love to have a run around a pen outside!' And so, I took her out and she ran wild in an empty pen. I offered her a plain biscuit (with sugar) and gave it to her. She was interested in it, and took it. She licked the sugar off and jumped into my bag and eat the rest! She let out a little 'Mmmm' which was a surprise, first proper noise I've heard from her.

Artemis danced around excitedly. She felt the heat against her face and the grass (Yummeh!) underneath her bare feet. The whole experience was amazing. She had a person! And from the looks of things, that person loved her! Oooh! Lurvely. Then Bonnie (Artemis loved Bonnie) offered her a circle. A circle? WEEEEEEIIIIIIRRRRRRDDDDDD! Artemis crept slowly up to it.

Sniff.

Sweet smells filled her nostrils, and Bonnie smiled encouragingly. Artemis liked the sweet smells, and Bonnie wouldn't let anything happen to her. Right? Right. Artemis reached out and took the golden, crispy circle. Hmmm... The were tiny dots that were shiny on it. Artemis licked the circle and it tasted YUM! She did know if it was nicer than grass... maybe. Then, she pushed the golden circle into her mouth and some bits fell. 0_o What a waste! The circle was really tasty! "Mmm..." She moaned, and was surprised at the sound. But, who cared? She picked up the scent of more and followed it to the bag. She dove into it and found LOADS! Yum..yum...yum....

Bonnie put away the diary and after an hour or so, she decided it was time to go in. She wrapped Artemis in the cream blanket (Now, stitched in the same chocolate brown as Artemis wrote in the corner 'Artemis') and carried her in. She placed the little imp down and filled a flask (without a lid) with warm milk and a drop of butterbeer, than cast a spell on it so it would stay warm till morning. She had remembered that it would go cold when she was almost asleep the night before. She pulled a pillow out of her bag and placed it under Artemis's head. "Night night, my luff..." She cooed and hugged the little imp. "I'll come back tomorrow..." And she left, not able to wait till the next day!

Jacob walked back down towards the Nursery. The journal in his backpack. He wasn't doing documenting anything now... he was just going to play with Jared. He still had a few rats in his bag, in case Jared wanted some food. And an Apple for himself in case he got hungry. Jacob put it in a separate Compartment of his bag, in case the rats went nibbling again.

Walking through the nursery's doors, Jacob walked straight to Jared’s cage. "Hey there, Jared" Jacob said. But Jared was still a sleep. Hmmm... Eating must have worn him out earlier today. HA! Jacob felt the same way when he ate. But Jacob's laugh seemed to have woken the Jarvey. Jared squirmed slightly, then slowly lifted it's head. "Had a nice nap Jared?" He asked the ferret. And Jacob Opened the cage. Reaching in, Jared immediately ran up Jacob's arm again. Settling it's self on Jacob's shoulder again. Jacob closed the cage, walking towards the play area.

Jacob sat down, and hoped that Jared would climb off. But it didn't He actually looked quite content. "You know Jared, I read that Jarvies are supposed to talk." He looked at Jared "Did you know that?" But the Jarvey just stared at him. Maybe Lady Lawson was wrong and Jared was just a regular Ferret. Oh well, Jacob will still care for him. "I'm Jacob... JAY- CUB" But all Jared did was stare until something came out. "EH!" "Well it's a start 'Eh' is better than your hissing"

Jacob took Jared off his shoulder and put the Ferret on the ground. then took out of his back pack a tennis ball. "You like to hunt... now go get it." And Jacob rolled the ball a little ways away. Jared ran after it, and started pushing it with his nose. After get it it back to Jacob, Jared tried biting into the ball. And started rolling around with the tennis ball stuck in his teeth. "Hey, stop... STOP!" and Jacob pulled the ball out of Jareds mouth. Jared looked exhausted, from that and walked onto Jacob pants, laying down. "Here" Jacob said taking out the small bowl, And then took out the water bottle he brought down, pouring in some water. "There you go" putting the bowl on the ground near jareds face.

As the Jarvey Drank. Jacob got out his journal. Jacob decided he was going to document some things.

When Jared finished drinking, Jacob looked at the Ferret. "Up!" Jacob said simply. But the Jarvey didn't move. "Up!" still nothing. Alrighty, Jacob this time patted his left shoulder with his right hand when he said "UP!" and Jared ran up hisarm onto his shoulder. "Down" he said... Then Patted the ground "Down". And Jared ran down his arm. and halted on the ground. Jacob took the note book and wrote down.



Jacob decided to stop there today. He’ll start playing more with Jared once he’s able to take notes of progression instead of the firsts.

Pam entered the nursery. It was the second time she had been here. She already knew where Hachi's cage was so she walked quickly towards it. She peered into the cage and said, "Hello Hachi!" He sat up from it's sleeping position while it looking at her. She opened the cage and tried to get him out. This time, it only took her awhile to coo him out of the cage. He sat on the ground infront of her and she squatted down to stroke his soft fur. He sniffed at her hand, as if he was looking for food. "Oh you're hungry? Look what I have for you." She said as she took out a bowl and a carton of milk. She placed the bowl infront of him and poured milk into it. It did not take long for him to finish eating. After all,he was hungry. After he was done, Pam put the bowl back into her bag. Hachi started to walk away. "Where do you think you're going?" Pam asked as she went after him and carried him into her arms. She thought that maybe he wanted to play so she decided to bring him to the closed-in play area. Once there, she put him gently onto the ground and he started to roam around. After quite awhile, he came back to her side and just lay there. "What's wrong? Are you bored?" She asked as she stroked his fur. She took out a clockwork mouse from her bag and wound it up before placing it on the ground. Hachi immediately got up and started to chase it around. Pam sat down on the ground to watch but decided to write her journal as she saw that Hachi was busy playing.



Pam put her journal back into her bag and looked to see if Hachi was still chasing after the clockwork mouse. Apparently, the clockwork mouse had stopped and he was pawing at it. Pam stood up and laughed as she walked over to him. When she had approached, she saw that he yawned and stretched. She stroked his head and said, "I guess you're tired, let's go back in." She picked up the clockwork mouse and put it inside her bag. She then carried Hachi up and brought him back inside to put him in his cage. "I'll come visit you again, okay?" She said to him gently. She made sure the cage was properly closed as she did not want him to get lost. She waved at him before making her way out of the nursery.

Willow walked into the nursery to visit with her baby Niffler Cassie for the first time. The decorations committee and homework had been keeping her from coming to see the baby niffler. Willow walked up to the cage that Cassie was in and said to her "Hi there Cassie, are you hungry?" Cassie looked over at Willow after hearing her speak and stared at her. Willow reached into her bag and pulled out some nuts and held it toward the cage. Upon seeing the nuts in Willow's hand, Cassie bounded over to her outstretched hand and began nibbling on the nuts. Willow began smiling and started to pet Cassie. She didn't want to handle Cassie just yet, because she wanted the baby niffler to get used to her first. After Cassie finished the nuts she looked at Willow almost expecting more food. "Sorry Cassie that's all I got, but I promise to bring you some more tomorrow." Cassie just looked at her with what Willow presumed to be a happy look. She stood there petting her for a little while longer then said goodbye and left for the decoration planning for the ball.

Rex walks into the nursery. " He sees Bob Knarly the Knarl. He is quite a playful thing, but also like a spoiled child, too. Rex tiies tofeed him his grass and some flowers he picked. The little guy is scared. Knarls are afraid of humans. "Come on Bob Knarly, I am your friend and you can eat these flowers and grass. Rex opens the cage. Bob gets his food, then runs around trying to destroy things. Back in your cage Bob.
Journal entry
First Day
Creature- Knal
Name: Bob Knarly
At first glance. Bob is scared of humans. I was able to talk him in to eating. Unfortunately, he is very rambunctious. I let him out of the cage to eat, but then Bob is not scared of Rex and tries to detroy things in his path, but he does not know better. I put Bob back in cage.

Trixie came to see her baby Phoenix for the second day. The small majestic bird was perched on it's shelfy thing again. The feathers were starting to turn from the grungy brown to the beautiful red that the Phoenix usually had. And with a soft smile to the bird, Trixie stroked it's feathers on her back and not on the tail as they were too hot. The beak was also turning a little more black and yellow like it was supposed to, but it was still clear to the eye that the bird was young.

Iris walked back into the Nursery after making her way from Transfiguration, hoping that Hermes would warm up to her a little bit today. She crouched down at his cage and smiled, "Hey boy, How're you today? Look... I brought you some nice ... dead mice .... for you!" She opened the cage and chu-chuu'd the Kneazle out of the cage.

Hermes came out gingerly, sniffing and investigating to see who’d come to see him. Iris grinned at him. “C’mere boy.” Eugh … Mice were gross, alive and dead. As Hermes came over to her, Iris put the mouse down on the floor, then rubbed her hands against her coat. Nasty mouse germs. She watched as Hermes looked up at her, and then to the mouse. Slowly, his paw reached out to the mouse, and he rolled the mouse over. Then the Kneazle went to it and sniffed the dead mouse.

Nomnomnom?

Iris pulled a face that showed her disgust as Hermes gobbled up the mouse, happily licking his lips afterwards. “That’s really gross, you know.” She said to him with a little grin. Hermes started purring.

Heeeyyy, Progress! hehe.

As the kneazle came up to her, Iris scooped the baby kitten up into her hands and held him up to her face, too look at him properly. "You. Are. Simplly. Adorable. *hehe*" Iris gave Hermes a little cuddle and stroked him behind his ears. Iris set him down on her lap, and Hermes looked up at her, wanting to know why he'd be put down.

Iris opened her bag and took out a stick, that had a huge green feather attached to the end of it.

Hermes looked at it, and jumped from Iris' lap, scratching her leg with his claws as he did so. "Ouch!" Iris dropped the feather toy thing, and Hermes dived at it, happily chomping on the green feathers. Iris looked at him and giggled. She'd be able to fix up the scratch later. She picked up the stick and made shapes in the air with the feather, giggling as Hermes chased and continued to try to catch the feather.

After a while, Iris looked at her watch. Hmpf. It was nearly lunch time. Iris quickly filled Hermes' food and watch bowls, and put away the feather toy. She picked up Hermes and gave him another cuddle. "I'll come back this evening and see you again, M'kay?" She put Hermes away in his cage, and then locked it shut. She picked up her journal and bag, and decided that she'd fill it in at Lunch, then left the nursery.

I let out Bob Knarley from his cage, Rex ran in front of him and Bob Knarly followed him all over. Bob ran and scampered on the grass. He saw another Knarl. He went up and sniffed him and the tried to engage him in a running race. " bob Knarly is tired now and Rex puts back in the cage.

It was cold outside and the warmth of the nursery was the first thing that Legend noticed. After taking out a notepad and pen he dropped his messenger bag at the door. He had worn only a simple sweater and jeans just in case things got messy and....some baby animal had an accident or something. Making his way through the nursery he noticed the amount of animals that were there.

Legend was assigned a Phoenix. It blew his mind. He never knew that he would have to take care of such an amazing creature. Sure he had helped Lexi with her Hippogriff but, she was there too, and Reptar was harmless. As he approached a row of cages he immediately saw fire erupt from one close to the end. Running toward the cage he hoped the animal wasn’t harmed. As soon as the Gryffindor had reached the cage at the end the fire was gone. The only thing that was left was black ashes.

How could something burn so fast? It was incredible, but was it an animal? That was upsetting. Legend frowned, so the animal died, he was about to walk away when he noticed a small head peeking out from the dark ashes, then it hit him! Around this cage were small Phoenixes and even one really old look ones. And Phoenixes burned when they were reborn! Legend smacked his head because of the stupidity.

Looking back into the cage he opened the door to get a better look of the animal. It was extremely small, and wrinkly. Like an old man. It wasn’t cute like normal babies at all, but for some reason Legend immediately felt connected to it. He looked at the bottom of the cage and noticed something he didn’t before. His name. So this Phoenix was his? “Hey little guy-well...erm-I dunno if you a boy or girl yet but hey buddy!” Legend said quietly. The Phoenix raised his head and stared at him, it’s eyes were squinted. “I’m pretty sure you’re a boy.” Legend murmured. “My name’s Legend. Actually it’s Lysander. But I don’t tell people that. You can call me Legend though okay?” He reached out and touched the bird with a single finger to make sure it wasn’t scared. To Legend’s surprise the bird’s head just rubbed up against him, making the fourth year giggle. “I like you. I think....you’re like that fire dude from the old TV show. Kinda scary but innocent. I’ll name you after him...” Legend thought for a minute. “Charmander.”

Running back to the door Legend grabbed a clean rag, and made his way back to the Pheonix. Taking out his wand he muttered a spell to wet the rag. Slowly, and carefully he began to clean the tiny bird up from the ashes that covered its body. When he had finished almost 15 minutes had passed and the rag was almost pitch black. “There you’re all clean now.”
Taking his pen he began to write in the notebook.



Legend stuffed the pen into his pocket and grinned. “I’ll be back tomorrow alright Charmander? Then i’ll feed you. Cause you don’t seem to hungry right now.” Petting the bird with one finger again he closed the cage, grabbed his bag and left the nursery.

Look like Bob Knarly the Knarl needs a bath. Rex put on his vloes as the Knarl's hair andd body is prickly. He opens the cage. Bob Knarly runs all around and Rex has a hard time catching him. Rex catches him. He finds some water and puts Bob Knarly in it. Then Rex gets a cloth, gently wipes Bob Knarly. Then I get a brush and brush the hair of the Knarl. Bob ran around again and i finaly caught him and put him back in the cage. Rex is tired today.

"Cleaning my Knarl is fun today. " Bob Knarly likes to be washed and dried. Unfortunately, he is really playful and made Rex tired today.

Coming straight from lunch in the Great Hall, Destiny's pockets were full of all kinds of foods. She didn't know what Captain Walker D. Plank was going to like, since she was not going to feed him rats or gnomes. She didn't even know where she find these things! Instead, she packed her pockets with a few pieces of chicken, some bananas, raisins and a jar of peanut butter. She was guessing here, she didn't know what to feed the thing!

Opening the doors to the nursery, she did not waste anytime looking in the other cages, she headed right for HER Jarvey. Of course the little guy was sleeping, and what should she have expected? He was a BABY after all, and babies tend to sleep a lot. Plus, she had a feeling these creatures were nocturnal. There was no way she would visit him during the night..in the dark. She would be scared to walk into the nursery and have all these beady looking eyes on her. Eeeesh!

Running a finger along the bars of the cage, she smiled when he started to stir awake. The Jarvey yawn and stretched before making his way over to investigate the noise. "Good morning Captain!" she gave her best piratey voice while saying that and opened the cage gate.

The Jarvey blinked a few times as the girl in front of him woke him up. Couldn't she see he was enjoying his sleep? Must not have. He slowly made his way to the opened gate, never taking his eyes off the girl. She seemed familiar, but so many girls have passed his cage lately. "Crazy!" he said as she started to talk in some crazy voice.

Now..pick him up!!

Destiny had expected the usual insult of 'Freak' like he had called her last time. Crazy..that was a new one, and she couldn't help but laugh. Spending time with this Jarvey was like spending time with her Grandmother. Only when the woman threw insults, she was usually asleep unlike Captain. "Do you want to come out of there?" she asked, and not expecting a real answer, she picked him up anyway.

FREEDOM! As soon as he was picked up, the Jarvey scurried up the girls arm, placing himself on top of her shoulder. He liked it up here, since he could watch all the other creatures in their cage. There was a slightly appetizing looking nifler, and as he saw said nifler, Captain licked his..lips.

Destiny didn't miss the look the Jarvey was giving all the other creatures. Especially that poor little nifler over there. "No. I have food for you." she said, and taking him off her shoulder, she sat down on the floor with him. Digging into her pockets, she pulled out the napkin clad food that she had stowed just for him. As she opened it up, the Jarvey scurried closer to get a good look. "Do you like CHICKEN?" She held up a small piece, dangling it in front of the Captain's face.

Noooo! "Four eyes." was the reply the Jarvey gave as the girl said no and took him off her shoulder. How was he supposed to see that nifler nooooow? Now on the ground, he went around sniffing out the place. Sniff, sniff, sni--FOOD! He could smell that from miles away, and the Jarvey ran full speed back to the girl. Intently he watched as she dug into her pockets and pulled out..FOOOOOOD! Whatever it was smelled YUMMEH and he stood on his hind legs to reach it. On nom nom nom.

"It's chicken, Captain!" she said giving the Jarvey a pat on the head as he basically tore at the food in front of him. Pulling out the bananas and raisins, she placed that on the ground in front of him and giggled as he ate that up too! She didn't need to peanut butter, so she didn't pull that out. She figured she would save that for the next time she visited. As the Jarvey finished the little bit of food left, Destiny stood up and opened his cage door. She figured after a HUGE meal like that, he would be tired. And she was right. Captain finished the last bit and as soon as he did, he yawned. Bending down, Destiny scooped him up and placed him back in the cage.

Om nom nom nom. Captain didn't pay attention to what the girl called this food in front of him. He just wanted to EAT IT! OHHHHH YES! She had even MORE food for him to eat! Whatever this new stuff was, he enjoyed it too. Not leaving any crumbs, the Jarvey looked up at the girl when she stood. "Creepy, freaky four eyes." Was that Jarvey talk for Thanks? Maybe. Yawning, since eating all that food made him tired, he let himself be picked up and placed in the cage. Circling the cage a few times, Captain plopped down and fell asleep.

Riiiight. The insults..they were funny. Destiny couldn't help but laugh at them. She didn't know if that would make the Jarvey madder or not, but if he did get mad, what was the worst he could do? Insult her? HA! Closing the cage after Captain was asleep, she looked down at the ground. Heh, there was nothing to clean up! Hehe, Captain Walker D. Plank sure didn't like to waste food!

With one last look at the sleeping Jarvey, she pulled out her notebook and wrote another journal entry before heading out of the nursery.

Kurt, Nymphy's young Jarvey newbrorn, was aging just fine. Kurt's energy was steadily rising like an infant Jarvey's should be. Now when Nymphy came to feed Kurt, the Jarvey ran to the front of the cage and jumped up on the door. Also, when released into the play pen, Kurt could now almost do a backfilp......

Overall, his development was going very well.

Journal Day 4
Bob Knarly is sleeping now. He has a brown body. He has prickly hair. His eyes are black. Tommorow will be a good day for Bob Knarly and Rex.

Nympy had taken journal entries, but they were usually on a napkin or something, so he recopied them in his actual journal.




Nymphy put his journal in his picket and gave Kurt a treat. He then packed up and left.

"Hello, little one!" Pam whispered to Hachi, who had just woken up. This would be her third time visiting him. She opened the cage and he came out slowly. She was just so happy that she did not need to coo him before he would come out of the cage anymore. She stroked his fur happily and he seemed to like it. "Come on, let's go to the closed-in play area again!" She said as she carried him up before making her way towards her destination.
Once there, she put him down and he ran around happily. Pam sat on the ground and took out a ball of yarn which has bright colours. "Look what I have here!" She called out to Hachi while waving the ball of yarn to him. Hachi turned towards her and the moment he saw the yarn,he ran towards it. He pawed at the yarn and she gave it to him. Pam watched as he played with the ball of yarn. He seemed to be enjoying himself a lot. After playing with the ball of yarn for quite a long time, his fur had became rather messy. Pam giggled as she went towards him and picked up the yarn. It was not really in the shape of a ball anymore. She then placed it in her bag. Hachi seemed rather disappointed that she had kept the yarn.
Pam took out a pretty brush, not used for herself of course, from her bag and went to Hachi's side to brush his fur. His fur was clean and soft. He seemed to enjoy having his fur brushed. After she was done, she kept the brush back into her bag.
Hachi had been playing for quite a long time and she thought that he might be hungry. However, she wasn't sure but she decided to give him some food just in case. "You hungry?" She asked Hachi as she took out a bowl and a carton of milk from her bag. She poured the milk into the bowl and placed it on the ground. When he saw the milk, he rushed towards the bowl and started to lick the milk. Pam decided to write her journal while he was eating.



Pam looked up and saw that Hachi had licked up all the milk in the bowl. She decided to add on to the Journal.



She picked up the now empty bowl from the ground and put it, as well as the Journal, into her bag. "Come on, let's head back into the nursery." She said as she carried Hachi up. They headed back to the nursery and she slowly put him back into his cage. She stroked his fur for a little while before closing the cage. "Bye,Hachi! I'll come visit you real soon." She said to him, before making her way out of the nursery.

Rex opened the cage for Bob Knarly. We get to race today little guy. Rex slowly took off while Bob Knarly gained on him, the past him. Of course Rex's Knarl ran in circles around Rex. " Rex and Bob Knarly both got tired.
Journal Day 5
Bob Knarly loves his excercise. My Knarl enjoyed himself today. " Of course, Bob Knarly very silly at times. He has taken to me very easily.

Fallon walked down to the nursery. She pulled her sweater close to her because it was kind of chilly outside. She wasn't able to find her jacket, so she was just going to have to deal with being cold. She smiled as she walked the familiar way towards Pyrros' cage.

The Phoenix started to make a little song when he saw Fallon. She thought that must be a good thing because he was starting to recognize her. "Hey Pyrros. Wow, you've gotten quite a bit bigger since the last time I saw you." She chuckled as the little Phoenix stood to full height. Wow, he did get bigger.

"Come on. Let's get you out of there for a little while." Fallon went to open the cage. Once it was open, she smiled as Pyrros flew to perch on her shoulder, his head leaning against hers. It was definately his favorite spot to sit. "Let's go get you some food." She looked at the bowl that hade water in it. "And some fresh water."

Fallon grabbed the bowl and dumped out the old water that was in it. She then walked, with Pyrros still on her shoulder, towards the cupboard where the food was stored. She grabbed some worms and started to feed them to Pyrros. Most people would've been grossed out by a bird eating while they were on your shoulder, but not Fallon.

Once he was done, she grabbed fresh water and brought Pyrros back to his cage. He flew inside and started to preen himself. She smiled and put the water in his cage before closing it. Taking out her special journal, she sat on the stool that was always there and began to write.



Fallon looked over what she had written and closed the journal, placing it back in her bag. She turned back to the little Phoenix that had been watching her write. "I'll see you later Pyrros. I promise I'll be back soon." She rubbed his beak through the cage and then walked out of the nursery. She made sure to pull her sweater to her tightly and to walk fast. It was chilly out after all.

Alex hadn't really visited his Clabbert much in the past few weeks, he'd gotten so busy that he hadn't been able to find the time to come see her. But he'd finally made the time because this was acting as his final for CoMC and because he genuinely wanted to see Amygdalí.

Walking over and removing her from her cage Alex was gratified to see that she clung to him a little, nuzzling against him. It was cute and Alex thought that it showed that Amygdalí recognized him from his previous visit with her. Which was a good thing since it would be a pain to try and get her to like him again.

"I'm sorry I don't have any treats for you today. I thought that maybe we could just spend some time together..." Alex trailed off as he walked over to a small bench and sat down, keeping Amygdalí in his arms at all times. He wasn't going to let her go.

Alex told Amygdalí everything that had been going on since he last saw her, providing great detail on Quidditch Practice, while he stroked her softly. She seemed to like that, and if she didn't then Alex was reading her completely wrong.

Eventually he ran out of things to say and they just sat in silence, there was a sense of peace being here with the Clabbert who was content to just climb on him. He was glad that she was 'listening' to him'. It made him feel better because he wasn't keeping all his stress bottled up inside, which was bad for him.

"I need to go now Dali, I'll come back soon and when I do we can play a game or something." Alex whispered as he stood and walked her back over to her home.

Soooooo... this was Jake's first visit to come and see his baby niffler and, to be honest, he was knd of nervous. His last time with a niffler, the creature had attacked his ear for his earring.

And now with a tongue bar in... well... he didn't want the creature to like... steal Jake's tongue.

Approaching the cage which held his baby niffler (he knew this from the label on said cage, reading 'Joey') Jake cautiously reached in and extracted little Joey.

"Awwwww..." he cooed, unable to stop himself. This particular niffler was, well... fat. Big-furred. More to love. And adoooooorkable.

Unfortunately, Jake couldn't spare much time today... and it seemed that his little niffler was a lazy bugger, so Jake sat before the cage and snuggled his niffler close to his chest while it slept in his arms. Yeah... he was upset. His dad had given him some sliiiiiightly bad news. Just remembering it, Jake ran the tongue-bar across his teeth. Heh.

"I'll llleave you some mmmmilk, Joey," Jake whispered to the sleeping niffler, not wanting to leave the creature be just yet. He spent a good hour just sitting with Joey before carefully placing him back in the cage with a saucer of milk, making a mental note to spoil this particular creature rotten when he got the chance.

Rex goes to see "Bob Knarly" the Knarl. Bob looked a little sad. " Here, I have some food for you" Rex called out to Bob. The Knarl turned around and started eating. The Knarl loves his grass and flowers. "Sorry, I had beeen gone but I wanted to see how you re-acted" Rex told his baby Knarl. " I promise I will be back tommorow for fun stuff" Rex puts on his gloves and petted Bob Knarly.
Joirnal Day 6
Rex purpoaely left Bob Knarly his Knarl for a day to see how he could handle it. Well, at first the Knarl had been upset. He refused to look at me. " Of course, the food pesuaded Bob Knarly to be nice to me. He let me pet him. Bob Knarly is a very good baby.

He didn't care about the journal! He cared that he'd not come sooner to meet his new friend in the whole school!

Where was Phineas?! Where was his Niffler?! He felt devastated that it'd been so long and it isn't until NOW that he shows up.

Treyen noticed the cage, and a little furry thing inside it. That must be Phineas. Such a wonderful thing! But, it seemed to be sleeping...and Treyen didn't want to disrupt his sleep. Oh, no.

Yet, as soon as he started to walk away, Phineas nose started to move a little. Uh-Oh. Treyen didn't have anything metal on him, did he? Nope. We're good to go! The thing was not sleeping, it was, apparently, bored, and resting. Soooo, "You're Phineas! And, I'm Treyen"' he smiled, waved at the creature, "I'm supposed to take care of you" supposed, supposed, supposed, but he didn't come until now, "And, you're going to see me rather often" he nodded, and the niffler sniffed something and tilted the little head to one side.

Er, was the little creature understanding anything Treyen was saying? Probably not.

But Treyen took him in his hands, because he was little enough, and gave him some food, or what he thought was food for a niffler, just some milk, because that's what you feed dogs and kittens, and crup...so, perhaps nifflers too?

Either way, the boy decided to write in his journal what he seems to be observing while Phineas drank some milk.



So, Phineas only ate, sniffed a bit, and then...back to sleep? Oh, man, Treyen had to come more often and made this niffler...an active niffler.

Treyen smiled, and left the Nursery.
