The Creature Appreciation Club was started in 2057 with the purpose of introducing students to the world of magical creatures. There's a focus on learning about the creatures and how best to protect and care for them. Hopefully, given the location, even have a chance to see some. You can always find a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them close by ~~~
The club is held every Sunday from 10:00-11:30 in the Gardens ~~~Current President: Nora Dashwood

☻☺GALEN EZREAL SAYLORsixth year || Hufflepuff || halfblood metamorphmagus Adventurer's Guild chronicler || Art Club cartoonist || Creature Appreciation Club enthusiast Order of the Stick captain || Cooking Club executive chef || Quidditch chaser _______________ A Magical Creature club! Even if Galen hadn’t been inclined to join, Dragon certainly would, and midway through the last year, they had joined yet another club. Bright and early the first Sunday back, Galen, with a sleepy Dragon in his pocket, headed down to the gardens. He looked around. The club forms were sitting on a garden table with a pen, but there was no one in sight, just a puppy laying in the sun. Oh well, Nora or Noah must have just stepped away to use the bathroom or get something.
He whistled as he filled out the form then sat down, laying Dragon in the grass by the unfamiliar dog. Dragon was getting on in years in the life of a puffskein– 7 now, and puffskeins generally only lived to 8. Already his pink fur was spotted with gray at the tips.When he opened his eyes, the wide green irises were as curious and excitable as ever, but most of the time, Dragon just wanted to snuggle and watch. So Dragon buried himself in a sunny patch of grass as Galen held his hand out to the mysterious dog.
”Hey there! Are you here for the creature club too?” he asked gently. If it seemed open to being pet, he’d scratch its scruff and ears and give belly rubs, but if not, he’d happily just leave his hands there to sniff before returning them to his lap. ”Aren’t you a gorgeous lil one? I wonder what kind of dog you are. Sorry, I’ve only got puffskein and human treats on me. But I’ve got pets and scritches if you want some?”

Anything specific you are hoping to learn or experience this year?Meeting new creatures in general is fun. On a warm day maybe we can swim around in the lake and try to spot some creatures? Maybe talk to a mermaid?

Noah practically sprinted toward the gardens, a smile across his face. The Creature Appreciation Club was his favorite part of Hogwarts. At least until next year when he could actually take Care of Magical Creatures. He'd made fast friends with Nora last year by talking about magical creatures which had more or less spawned the club. He'd loved every minute of every meeting and had lapped up every tidbit Nora had for him. It helped that she had a magizoologist in the family.
When he came into view of the garden he saw Galen crouched petting a small dog, that seemed to be loving it. The dog nuzzled into the boy even pulling his hand in with its small paws. Noah approached closer fully ready to pet the dog too but a smile came over his face before he could. He realized her recognized the dog. He sat down and began gently petting the dog's back. "Hi Nora," he said after a moment of playing. The small dog got up on its feet and gave a small bark that sounded a bit like a greeting. If dogs could smile, she was. "And how are you Galen?" He asked with a cheeky grin at the boy.

She had seen posters for a new club in the common room and became curious when she saw it was for magical creatures and learning more about them. She figured it was a fringe group from the class and seeing as she wouldn't be allowed to sign up for that for another year, she figured it would be beneficial to learn beforehand. That and she liked animals. It had seemed like a good idea in theory as she had hyped herself up for it borrowing a hoodie from Kai and slipping a hair tie Evie on her wrist and following the signs for the club meeting. But theory and action were two different things and she found out now standing in the gardens staring at a small group of people surrounding a dog. She quietly went over to the forms filling one out quickly before turning her attention onto the small friendly dog. Ruth gave it a small smile and wave not having that much experience with dogs of any size. [color#9966CC]"Typ

Take a moment to ask yourself if this is how we fall apart. But it's not. But it's not. But it's not. But it's not. But it's not. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. You've got nothing. Got nothing. Got nothing. Got nothing to fear. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.

☻☺GALEN EZREAL SAYLORsixth year || Hufflepuff || halfblood metamorphmagus Adventurer's Guild chronicler || Art Club cartoonist || Creature Appreciation Club enthusiast Order of the Stick captain || Cooking Club executive chef || Quidditch chaser _______________ ”G’morning!” Galen raised a hand to wave to the unfamiliar newcomer. ”I’m Galen and this is Dragon, a puffskein. I dunno this pup but aren't they adorable?”.
Galen quickly returned both hands to petting as the little god not only nuzzled into his hand but even pulled his hand in with its small paws. He massaged behind its ears and tickled its belly, cooing praises. Galen’s hair curled into a bush of playful bright orange curls in amusement. This had to be someone’s pet right?
”G’morning Noah!” Galen called out, spotting the younger club leader. ”Lookit who was here! Aren’t they the cutest uhhh—” he asked, picking the dog up briefly. He checked their genitals to figure out what pronouns to be using with the dog and to show her off to Noah before setting them back down so everyone could continue petting. girl! Who's the cutest lil girl? You are? You are!”
Another young student approached, but just gave a quiet smile and wave, so of course Galen welcomed them over: ”Heya! C’mon over. Offer your hand like so, so she can smell you and make sure you’re not a thread. And then go ahead and give her a few scratches behind the scruff. Don’t worry, she’s really friendly.”
Then Noah hit him with a revelation: ”Hi Nora,”
The small dog got on its feet with a small bark that sounded too much like a greeting…or a confirmation.
Bright pink spread across Galen. His hand froze mid-pet and quickly flew to cover his cheeks–not that it did him any good: Galen was soon a ball of pink– from the tips of pink hair that had turned short and spiky with surprise to pink fingernails. Even his irises pulsed pink-orange, fluttering in colour.
”And how are you Galen?”
”I uh. Nora! Um! I–I didn’t know you were doing an animagus! I’m uh, you’re really cute! I mean, your animagus form is really cute! Not that you weren’t cute as a human but dogs are– You– I mean, not– you know, I’m just going to shut up now,” he stammered. ”I’m just glad you’re safe. And sorry for touching–or uh, petting, and uh, checking uh—anyways, congrats!
Was it just him or was today really warm for September?

All I know is nothing happens if you just give in It can't be any worse than how it's been And it just so happens that we just might win So whatever happens! Let's begin!
☆ X════════════════════════X ☆
Nora happily accepted pets from everyone…especially Galen. It was definitely a benefit of turning into an animal and a very cute one if she said so herself. She hadn’t really thought about the fact that only a select few knew about her abilities. It wasn’t even on purpose, it just, strangely enough, hadn’t come up all that much. Noah only knew because it had come up when they were starting the club.
She felt slightly bad about the fact that she was being petted without people knowing it was her, but she didn’t exactly have a choice at this point. She couldn’t just be a dog the whole meeting. She greeted Noah as he approached, revealing her in the process. As Galen came to the realization and began stumbling over his words Nora was glad she was in the form of a dog. They couldn’t blush. His physical features went everywhere for a moment and Nora backed up. Once she had the room she transformed back. “Sorry everyone,” she said with a small laugh, pushing away any embarrassment. “Don’t worry, I don’t mind,” Nora said to Galen, leaving it at that.
“Glad everyone could make it,” she said with a large smile. It was always exciting to see any turnout for this little club she had made.

Noah was down on his stomach in the grass. A bowtruckle had made its way to the garden (absolutely perfect timing on its end) and Noah was trying to get a better look without scaring it. He'd seen firsthand what those pointy little fingers could do. After a moment he was able to coax the creature toward him, with the help of some wood lice he’d found. Soon enough the bowtruckle had climbed onto the top of his bowed head.
“You enjoying yourself?” Another voice came. Noah kept his head still but turned up his eyes from the grass to look at Nora.
He smiled. “Very much. I found this little guy hanging around and apparently my head seems like a good substitute for a tree.” He thought for a moment. “I think I’ll call him Newt.”
Nora nodded as she placed the stack of sign-up forms down “Seems appropriate,” she agreed her eyes wandering over to a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them lying next to him.
“So are you ready for this year captain my captain?” He asked, still laying on the grass as Nora pulled out a quill and sorted the rest of the form.

Charlotte bounded her way toward the gardens and The Creature Appreciation Club. Lottie didn’t have quite the same passion for creatures as her brother did, but that didn’t mean she didn’t like them, in fact, a porlock had, on several occasions, made its way into their horse stables back home and she'd watched the thing for hours. She may have considered joining the club anyway but the current membership held even more of a draw. It seemed half of Hufflepuff was in the club. Or at least half of the half she'd met so far.
As she got closer to the garden she looked to find her brother face down in the grass with what looked suspiciously like a bowtruckle on his head. She wrinkled her nose. “How did you…” she trailed off and with a shake of her head said, “You know, I’m not even surprised. Not sure why I bother asking.” Noah had a way with creatures Lottie couldn’t explain. She then turned and waved at the sixth-year girl Nora whom Lottie had already met while she was doing her prefect duties. She quickly grabbed a form and began filling it out.
