On the darkest of dark nights, down the rolling, phthalo green hills of Hogwarts, at the extreme back of the barnyard, in what used to be an old winged horse stall with no door and is now a converted fireplace..... lies one very shiny, very large egg-like object.
The object seems to be giving off an incredible amount of heat and occasionally quivers to and fro as the flames lick the sides of the cauldron it sits in. What is it, you wonder? You seem to be half-hypnotized by the shady, crackling, almost bubbling object; you hardly even notice the absence of the hay bales where you usually sit. In fact, there doesn't seem to be ANYWHERE to sit.
So you stand, shifting awkwardly from foot to foot, and waiting for more directions from Professor Williamson, who IS sitting, on a little metal stool, his back to the arriving class.
Meh....what had he asked? Jezzabelle had found herself a little distracted by everyone else who had answered and decided that she wouldn't really have to give an answer if everyone else was giving answers. After all she would get partial credit at this rate. She did draw that picture.

Nevermind that.
After a quick whispered conversation, Medea nodded and smiled, looking around for the...aw! There it was. Almost easy to miss, considering what else could steal one's attention in here. Glancing towards Callie, she quietly moved around a few of the students towards the corner of the barn, where the refreshments sat on a small table.
Glancing between the two, she picked up the stack of cups and started pouring some of the dragon fruit tea into them while listening to the lesson going on. Might have some herself later on. It looked gooooood. Smelled even better as well. Picking up a few cups at a time, Medea moved around, handing them out to those who wanted it.
Really, who didn't want this tea? Dragon fruit tea!
Distractions and ironic ones at that because she thought without a doubt that the egg in question was a dragon egg. Why else would so many professors be here? How ever dragon fruit tea sounded amazing!
"May I have a cup of tea as well?" She tried to not speak over anybody but still have the ability to call attention to herself.

Professor Elwood hiked up her skirts from around her sandals and stepped over a few kids to reach the table that housed the refreshments.
Hmmmm...there were alot of the weird looking dragon fruit in a small basket and she took a second to decide how she was supposed to serve it. Did she have to give them the whole thing and they were to eat it like an apple? Nah.
Professor Elwood flicked her wand a few times and they began to slive themselves and she caught them each under a napkin. Now how to carry them all? Looking atound she saw a big flat metal plate leaning against the wall for whatever reason, which she picked up and placed the fruit slices on.
After hoisting the tray above her head like a good waitress would, Callie began to walk around the group of students pondering the question that Willy had just asked them. "Does anyone want some dragon fruit slices." She held out a few for them to take if they wanted.
Wait....did someone say Dragon Egg?!
And dragon fruit!?!?!? "Professor, may I have some of the dragon fruit?" It would go great with the tea that she was about to get. Yes and it kept up with the ironic naming thing. Dragons.....
Thank Merlin she had found fire proof clothing though especially since she was one of the people near the front of the crowd which also meant if it wasn't a dragon she would also be safe just either way. Though, with the ironic fruits and some other peoples reactions it was a dragon.

Wait....did someone say Dragon Egg?!
And snacks as well! Wow, what a class, professors everywhere and food and drinks to have during class? He could handle that "I'll take some please."
Murmuring his thanks to both of the professors, he turned to look at the professor who'd asked what type of egg they thought it was raising his hand again he replied "With the heat and flames I would say dragon. But what type, I can't be sure."
Flames flickered in William's eyes as his deep, penetrating gaze reflected the fire before him. Students entered, talked at him, talked at each other, tried to sit on air, and gaped at the egg, but after about five long, awkward minutes of zero professor direction, the man leading this class snapped out of his stupor and stood up so suddenly from his stool that he nearly knocked the thing over.
Righting the stool, and blinking at the sudden appearance of students, Williamson cleared his throat and then moved his stool out, somewhat shooing them back from the converted fireplace.
"Hello, hello, hello," he randomly nodded around at the kids, not greeting anyone in particular. Of course they were ALL welcome in his classroom, so long as they took care of the creatures. And each other. Maybe.
"First things first, I'm going to need everybody to take a few BIG steps backward, that's right, and then a few more. There. Good." William chased them away from his fireplace in a nice, calm manner, until the students who had entered last nearly had their backs against the wall with the barn door. Now that they were not in any danger of catching fire, he motioned for them all to sit down.
Hmm. Where were those benches he'd meant to bring in? Ah, no matter. Must've just slipped his mind. "You all can take a seat on the floor, my apologies for, er, the lack of more comfortable seating, but I have a feeling we won't be here long. So. Thanks for coming."
He smiled and rubbed his hands, glancing over his shoulder just once more at his precious project in progress.
"While we wait for the start of the..... event that I invited you to, I would like everyone to begin by sketching what they see before them. You brought paper and pencils, right? And fireproof footwear and stuff?" Willy shot the older students looks. He was going to blame the older ones for not reminding the younguns if anyone was unprepared and got hurt as a result. Fingers crossed though, nothing would go wrong today. Right?!
He cleared his throat and his mind of such thoughts. "So yes, that's your first task of this class. Draw the ah... well I'll tell you it's an egg, but I won't tell you what KIND of egg, draw the egg in the cauldron and the fire and such as you see it. I realize it's rather dark in here, so you may use your wands as a sort of drawing light, but give me your best sketch." The professor beamed at them all happily. "All righty then? While you work on that, I just have one more thing to prepare for today's lesson."
Williamson nodded at the older students once again, sort of giving them a nonverbal cue to keep the younger kids on task, and then disappeared around the corner of the barn. Two metal buckets were just visible in his hands before the darkness swallowed his tall frame.
OOC: WHEW, lengthy post there! Sorry for not replying to you all directly, but I will reply to your drawing posts! Sketch the scene you see here as I've described it, either by hand (in real life), in Photoshop, or in Paint. The more creative you are on your own, the more points you'll get! No credit will be given to photos taken straight off the internet. I want to see what YOU can do on your OWN.
When you've finished your drawing, upload it to a photo hosting site and post it in here under a spoiler tag for grading! Class will continue tomorrow (EST) sometime (likely not for another 18-ish hours). HAVE FUN, but don't chat too much! Williamson is still within earshot. ;D

SPOILER!!: My Lovely Colleagues
When William DID return from....wherever he'd gone, he was carrying one pail with sand in it and one pail with some sort of thick, smelly, reddish liquid in it. The students in the front row would probably cover their noses at the smell but Willy, having made it hundreds of times, was immune to its stench.
Once he had set his materials down and had tossed the damp sand on the fire, he suited up in his long, dark, thick fireproof dragonhide gloves, quite proud that he'd remembered to put on fireproof EVERYTHING when he'd gotten dressed this morning.
Carefully, very, very carefully, the professor removed the cauldron from the heat source and set it down on the ground, still a ways away from his captive (?) audience. He then picked up a giant pair of tongs from behind the cauldron and took the egg out from it, carefully setting it down on the ground between the cauldron and the first row of students. That done, he removed his gloves and tucked them into the back pocket of his pants, then walked away again and came back with a simple cardboard box.
"All righty then, those of you who are still finishing up your drawings, feel free to do so. Those of you who are finished, sit tight for a just a moment. We'll resume in a second."
Then he went over to Callie and Medea, who were both looking to be in a rather good humor, and both of whom would helpfully assist him with what he asked of them. After a hurried, whispered conversation, Willy then went over to the guys and Isabelle.
"Thanks for coming, Olly, Isabelle, and....." he was surprised to see this one, "Dash." William nodded at them all. "If you guys want to er, conjure up chairs or stools or something, that'd be cool. Please just keep your eyes and ears on the egg and your uh, wands at the ready. I'm just gonna..." he gestured toward the front of the room.
Finish class. Yeah. That.
On his way back to the cauldron and the egg, William stopped by the Hufflepuff who had apparently been trying to get his attention earlier.
"Uh, well, Laura, if you don't want to draw, then you don't have to." He shrugged. "Homework and participation is always optional, you know, it's just up to you whether or not you want to pass or fail."
He smirked a bit and then continued on to the front of the room. Why was this child even ASKING about drawing? Even from his vantage point at the front, he could see plenty of drawings that were hardly of professional quality. She shouldn't feel alone, honestly, all artists start somewhere!
--------------------------------
Now back by the cauldron and the quivering egg, which seemed to be quaking as if under great pressure. William started laying out a few other eggs from his box, lining them all up from biggest to smallest behind HIS egg. He laid out a big, but not BIGBIG, ostrich egg, then a regular chicken egg, then a tiny, foil-wrapped chocolate candy egg.
Taking a step back, the professor beamed around at the class and clasped his hands loosely behind his back. "Welcome to Care of Magical Creatures. Heh. I have to say, from the drawings I've seen, you ALL have a bright future as magizoologists one day." He smiled and took a step to the side so that everyone could clearly see the eggs.
"First things first: What in Merlin's beard did I just have you draw? Take a guess, based on the size comparisons of MY egg to these other eggs. Try to be as specific as possible with your educated guess."
OOC: don't tell me WHY you think the egg is whatever it is, just tell me WHAT you think it is. ;-)
The creepy dark barn was actually pretty mystifying. The flickering fire was certinally drawing the young boy's attention, even if he was at the very back of the barn. Shuffling back away from the fire, just as the professor said, Kaiden backed up until he couldn't any further. Floor, right, there was no problem with that. Sitting, crosslegged, Kaiden watched the professor as he told them to draw. Yeah, sure. Pulling out his notebook, he began to draw as the professor left. As he was still working, Williamson returned, and started messing around with the egg. Eventually, he finished up as the professor was talking to some of the other professors at the school. Wait, when had they gotten there?
Text Cut: Picture
The young boy watched as closely as he could as Williamson places other eggs out. So what had they drawn? That was a good question. He hadn't really looked through his book that well, but he did know that most of the creatures he had been told didn't exist were real. Thinking about some mythical creatures, he raised his hand. "Is it a Jabberwock?" Those came in eggs didn't they?

Alyssa first raised her hand to catch Professor Romanos attention. "Uh Professor, if you still have more of that, I would love some too."
Then she turned to look at the egg before raising her hand and answering Professor Williamson's question. "Professor, I believe that this egg is a Dragon Egg."
She paused and looked at the egg again. "I think that it might be an egg from a Romanian Longhorn."

They'd all have a bright future as magizoologists?
Nora doubted she'd ever be one, but she still giggled silently at the professor's comment. And then... what was it that he made them draw? "I believe that's a dragon egg, Sir," Nora offered with a hand in the air. Well, she'd known this from the beginning, just as she'd written on her drawing. If all that fire didn't explain it, the fuss all around the egg surely did.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Jory raised his hand. "May I have a cup of tea, please?'' he asked.
Then he turned his attention back to the egg. The boy wasn't at all sure what kind of egg it was but he had a go anyway. With his hand still in the air, he answered "Erm...It could be a dragon egg.''
The only thing that managed to keep Kennedy's eyes off the egg was his drawing. He wanted to get it as perfect as he saw it. Of course, maybe taking a picture would be much better, but he didn't have a camera with him.
He looked up from his parchment and once again his eyes landed on the cauldron and boiling egg. Kennedy had only one thought of what that could be. Okay, he had several, but the word dragon was most prominent. Maybe because he wanted it to be a dragon. He raised his hand and said, "A dragon egg."
I started responding to each of you, but then... I just got tired. xD

Still beaming and smiling and nodding and such, William nearly applauded everyone who guessed 'Dragon Egg' and almost GLARED at those who suggested otherwise.
"Good guesses, everyone," he made certain to look at the ones who'd had the right answer, "this is indeed a dragon egg. Although some of you identified it easily enough and were spot-on with your assumption, others of you were... a little off. I assure you, this is NOT a... a mutated pygmy puff egg," especially since puffs were mammals and had live births, "or a phoenix or salamander egg."
Could you IMAGINE a giant salamander egg? Creepy.
"So let's talk about how you identify a dragon egg if you have one." The quaking sounds behind William grew a little louder and the first faint fissures appeared on the surface of the light green egg. "First things first. if possible, measure it!" He flicked his wand and a little tapeworm-like measuring tape sprang out, instantly crawling all around the egg and measuring things.
"Second off, if you can't measure it, do a side-by-side comparison with something that you CAN measure, like this ostrich, chicken, and chocolate egg!" Speaking of the chocolate egg.... he walked over to it and picked it up, unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth.
Chewing around the chocolate, William continued. "Third, get out your nearest reference book and try to figure out its species by the color, texture, and size of the egg! This will also help you figure out how to take care of it and how to prepare yourself for the hatching, as some breeds breathe fire sooner than others."
He nodded around at them all, sincerely hoping that they were being good little children and were taking notes. That way, he'd look extra awesome in front of his coworkers. "This breed, though, does not. Knowing that I, your professor, used to work on a Romanian dragon sanctuary, and knowing that we have a light green sort of egg here, what sort of breed do you think this one is?"

Taylor began taking notes as the professor spoke. She looked at the egg and was trying to figure out the answer. Tay had no clue whatsoever as to what type of breed it was so she decided to remain silent so that she didnt embarass herself.

COULD KURUMI GO AND KISS HUG PROFESSOR WILLIAMSON NOW?!
Kurumi's widened and she literally was bouncing in her seat now, or err...bouncing on the ground now. Kurumi was so excited that she almost forgot to take notes, which she quickly did in rather sloppy handwriting for the prefect before crumbling the piece of parchment into her lap. DRAGON EGG! A GREEN DRAGON EGG! The fact that he had worked in Romania wasn't really too much of a hint since all breeds of dragons were on those reserves, right? That, and did color of the dragon's scales itself actually have some sort of connection to the color of the egg's shell?
"PROFESSOR! IS THAT AN ROMANIAN LONGHORN EGG?" They had dark green scales...which sort of worked with the whole light green egg shell. Sure, we will take the bait Professor Williamson and go with the native to Romania breed of dragon.

Noting in his little notebook he carried to most classes, the things the professor was saying Isaac thought for a minute. Did dragons have eggs that were the same color as themselves, or close to it? Raising his hand he asked "Do dragons tend te haf eggs close te the same color as themselves? If so then it might be a Welsch Green." Completely forgetting that their eggs are a brown with green flecks.
The egg was hot, and the baby dragon inside wanted nothing more than to get out at last and spread his/her wings. How did one escape from an egg, hmm? What was an egg, anyway? Was it not just an extension of a mother dragon, with possible father dragon DNA donated to keep things lively? Had the baby dragon come into existence before the egg, or was the egg there all along and he/she had just magically grown from it? Which came first: the dragon or the egg?
Rocking around the eggshell, the baby dragon did its best to crack the tough case that was enclosing it. It eventually succeeded in making a little fissure, through which it felt fresh(er) air, but it was still not enough.
The dragon continued to flail inside its egg, wanting oh so badly to be free. Its tiny mind was simply too large to expand inside this confining egg.

Pretty much ignoring the professor's question, Nora stared at the egg with eyes so wide that looked about to pop out of her head. It was moving. Kind of. No... it couldn't be. He'd tell them. But it was moving!
"Professor?" The girl hesitated with her hand slightly raised. "I think... we'll soon have a baby dragon," she said, never taking her eyes off the egg. The soon-to-be adorable baby dragon surely wanted to get out! She knew it!
Still beaming and smiling and nodding and such, William nearly applauded everyone who guessed 'Dragon Egg' and almost GLARED at those who suggested otherwise.
"Good guesses, everyone," he made certain to look at the ones who'd had the right answer, "this is indeed a dragon egg.

A DRAGON'S EGG! No way! A Jabberwock would be cool, but a real live dragon? Thats like the coolest thing in the world. Kaiden was actually bouncing a bit, but luckily the darkness was hiding it. And there were different type of dragons? He should right this down. 1. Measure, got it. 2. compare scale size So, the egg was bigger than that other egg, the one he thought belonged to an ostrich. 3. Use book, look at color, texture size. Dragons actually breathe fire? Scary, but still cool. Raising his hand "So this is a dragon from Romania then?"
♣ Heejin here | Did somebody say coffee & cakes? | cat lover ♣
It is indeed a dragon's egg. Professor Williamson discussed further more on how to actually identify which dragon since everyone just flailed and answer so many dragon references. Jonathan quickly had his parchment ready to take down notes to what he was all saying. It was a bit dark and Jonathan could barely see well to how his hand writing looks like.
SPOILER!!: Notes
how you identify a dragon egg???
Measure the egg ^-^
if not... do a side-by-side comparison with another different egg.
........ ostrich egg, chicken egg, chocolate egg
Ask book for reference and find which specie by color, texture, and size
Jonathan has his own fair share of reading stuffs about magical creatures, most specifically dragons. They were very fascinating creatures among the rest. Although, he'd like to see more of it in real life rather in just books. So now this is the time where he gets to actually see one... even though it's still an egg on a huge fat cauldron.
Jonathan kept the parchment into his pocket, he'll take them out once the professor say more interesting things about this egg.

Reason: the egg has NOT hatched yet. ;)
So it was a dragon! Silvia may not have cared much for the study of Magical Creatures, but dragons were the exception. She loved dragons! She even had a collection of dragon figurines scattered about her room at home, although most of those were muggle-made and therefore did not always resemble real breeds of dragon. But they were pretty figurines nonetheless.
The enthusiastic Ravenclaw began to scribble notes. So this kind didn't breathe fire as soon as it hatched? Well, that was good, she guessed. But that still didn't mean it wasn't dangerous; all dragons were dangerous. And VERY cool.
Silvia's attention was suddenly diverted from the professor to the egg, which was beginning to shake and crack. Oooh, was it hatching? It was finally hatching!?
She took her eyes off the dragon egg just long enough to answer the professor's question. "Is it a Longhorn?" Those were from Romania, weren't they? She couldn't remember for sure. But she was pretty sure they were green. Her eyes were once again on the egg.

Finishing just two slices of the dragon fruit, Beezus then returned to where she sat before as Professor Williamson elaborated through their answers. It was a dragon egg indeed. No more, no less. She wanted it to hatch already.
Absently taking out her quill and parchment, she scribbled what the Professor was saying, though she hadn't really absorbed all of it. Not to mention her messy penmanship, since she wasn't looking over at what she was writing, but instead, eyes focused on the Professor and the egg behind him which was moving and quivering. Clearly, the dragon wanted to be out as much as she wanted it to.
WHAT KIND OF DRAGON WAS THAT?
"Errr...maybe something of Romanian descent Professor?" the Ravenclaw half-answered, half asked after raising her hand. Considering he was giving them hints that he worked in a dragon sanctuary in ROMANIA. For the first time, she had talked about something that was actually happening on that class. Maaaaaaaaaaan, she was really excited!
O_______________________________O
Then the egg was doing all sort of weird movements again, it was vibrating like its content was jumping up and down. Gaaaah! Come out already Baby Dragon!

After filling up a few more cups with the tea, Medea went back to handing them out to the students, like Nigel here. "Here you go." she said quietly with a smile, handing him a cup of dragon fruit tea.

Glancing around to see who just asked for some tea, her gaze settled on the young Gryffindor. "Of course." she spoke softly, handing the young girl one of the cups of dragon fruit tea.

Back to egg watching!

"May I have a cup of tea as well?" She tried to not speak over anybody but still have the ability to call attention to herself.
Orrr...she could watch the egg later.
"Sure thing." she nodded, scooting around a few of the other students to get where Jezzabelle sat. "Here you go." Reaching over, she held out one of the cups of tea for the Gryffindor girl to take.

"There is plenty." she grinned as she spoke quietly, reaching over to hand Alyssa one of the cups she held. Although, she'd have to go back and pour some more. Who knew so many kids actually liked tea?

Then he turned his attention back to the egg. The boy wasn't at all sure what kind of egg it was but he had a go anyway. With his hand still in the air, he answered "Erm...It could be a dragon egg.''
This was the last cup she held for now.
"Of course." she said, handing the last cup over to Jory before making her way back over to the corner of the barn to pour some more. All the while listening to the lesson.

The dragon continued to flail inside its egg, wanting oh so badly to be free. Its tiny mind was simply too large to expand inside this confining egg.
So it WAS a dragon egg!!
Glancing over to where it sat in comparison to the ostrich and chicken eggs, the pouring of tea was forgotten for the time being as she was too interested in the lesson. And the egg was moving. Ohhh would you look at that!
Scribbling down a few more notes (that she'd definitely have to retake later anyway!) she thought about it, biting her lip as she realized she didn't even have the slightest clue about what the answer could be!
So Prue remained silent... this was definitely an area that she wasn't exactly... talented in. So should she open her mouth and possibly look like a fool or should she attempt to answer this? At least she'd gotten the first question right...

Alyssa smiled her thanks when Professor Romanos came and gave her a cup and she took a sip. "Thank you Professor. This is very delicious."
Alyssa then looked back at the egg again as she quickly took notes. She nodded to herself when the Professor mentioned about his trip to Romania. She had been right. So she raised her hand and said.
"Professor from the color of the egg and from what you said about your visit to Romania, I stick by my earlier answer." She looked at the egg again.
"Yes I still believe that this dragon egg comes from a Romanian Longhorn "

Alyssa then noticed activity coming from the egg. It was beginning to move a lot more now. Was it about to hatch?
"Uh Professor. Look." Alyssa pointed to the egg.

So, it's a REAL dragon egg?
WOW
The blonde guy was amazed to see that. It was cool! What kind of dragon it was? "Err.." he thought for a while. Did he got it from Romania? If yes, maybe..
"Professor, is it a Romanian Longhorn egg?" asked him curious. Studying about dragons? This Professor might be the coolest Professor at Hogwarts! Imagined if the egg hatched, so it will be a baby dragon inside? Sounded interesting, he nodded.

Liesel scribbled down some notes and tried to identify the egg. She remembered from her old school they also studied dragons. She liked studying about dragons it was fun and dragons were an interesting subject. She jotted down the types of dragons. Listening closely to what the professor was saying about Romania she had gotten the dragon type. Well she though she had. A Romanian Longhorn of course she thought to herself.
After she thought she had gotten the species right she raised her hand. "Might it be a Romanian Longhorn?" she asked waiting to be corrected. She wasn't the greatest person to ask about animals though.
She looked at the egg again and just suddenly a small crack came through. Sje didn't say anything though, best not to disturb the professor. But still COOL it was a dragon!

"Good guesses, everyone," he made certain to look at the ones who'd had the right answer, "this is indeed a dragon egg. Although some of you identified it easily enough and were spot-on with your assumption, others of you were... a little off. I assure you, this is NOT a... a mutated pygmy puff egg," especially since puffs were mammals and had live births, "or a phoenix or salamander egg."
Could you IMAGINE a giant salamander egg? Creepy.
"So let's talk about how you identify a dragon egg if you have one." The quaking sounds behind William grew a little louder and the first faint fissures appeared on the surface of the light green egg. "First things first. if possible, measure it!" He flicked his wand and a little tapeworm-like measuring tape sprang out, instantly crawling all around the egg and measuring things.
"Second off, if you can't measure it, do a side-by-side comparison with something that you CAN measure, like this ostrich, chicken, and chocolate egg!" Speaking of the chocolate egg.... he walked over to it and picked it up, unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth.
Chewing around the chocolate, William continued. "Third, get out your nearest reference book and try to figure out its species by the color, texture, and size of the egg! This will also help you figure out how to take care of it and how to prepare yourself for the hatching, as some breeds breathe fire sooner than others."
He nodded around at them all, sincerely hoping that they were being good little children and were taking notes. That way, he'd look extra awesome in front of his coworkers. "This breed, though, does not. Knowing that I, your professor, used to work on a Romanian dragon sanctuary, and knowing that we have a light green sort of egg here, what sort of breed do you think this one is?"
A DRAGON EGG.
How cool. And Theodore wasn't even scared cos he was sure that it would only be a harmless baby in there. No fire-breathing things that were as tall as buildings, thanks....
But he hadn't a clue what kind of dragon it was. Since when were students at Hogwarts dragon experts?
Theodore eyed the other students, then finally raised his hand, "I think it is a Romanian dragon." Oh really.... "A... baby green dragon." OH YEAAAAAAAAAAH.

Sarah, looked at her sketch, it took an agonizing long time to do.
SPOILER!!: sketch of egg
Than she thought about the dragon eggs size. She remembered a muggle book she once saw abou muggle sports balls. She than compared the sixzes of thee 4 diffrent eggs to muggle balls. This way, the muggle born could better understand what she was saying.
WWW: Nice use of color! Very straight lines! +8 points
SPOILER!!: comparison
It was green, maybe it was a Welsh green?

Zhenya had absolutely no idea what kind of Dragon it could be. She wasn't very good with Care of Magical Creatures because she had difficulty in working out breeds of animals and such. She just liked her Owl and her Cat, but was SO excited to hear that it was a DRAGON EGG!
She continued to write notes as Professor W was speaking to them.
But all thoughts and actions were paused as she saw the egg crack. Oh wow! It was going to hatch soon! She sat up straight to have a good view when it finally did come out of the shell. And Zhenya was very excited!
