A/N: Finally figured out the secret to the spacing problem. Sorry for the
trouble.
The day passed quickly, with the exception of Potions. Snape was in a vulgar mood after having a class full of Hufflepuffs. But a bad mood was normal for him so Harry was un-phased. He managed to get by with only losing his house 5 points which was good. As he walked to Care of Magical Creatures with Ron and Hermione he listened to Hermione go on and on about how great Charms was and how she managed to earn 50 points for Gryffindor. Walking past Lila he saw that Lavender and Pavarti cornered her once again.
"I don't understand the clue. What does a broomstick have to do with someone who likes me?"
"Just think!" Lavender urged, "You are so blonde." She added after a few minutes of seeing Lila stand there stupidly, and stormed off.
Lila grabbed her hair and looked at it, "Yeah...?" She blinked being un- familiar with the term. She turned around to see the trio staring back at her, "Well Hi there."
"What was that all about?" Ron asked.
"Long story." Lila sighed and joined them in walking to Hagrid's Hut.
As they arrived they saw around 30 pink blurs running around in a shabby wooden pen that looked like Hagrid must have just thrown together.
"A'right then class, today yer goin' to be takin' care of Cork-nosed Pints." Reading the classes dazed expressions he walked over to the pen and picked one up. The pink blurs all stopped abruptly, frozen watching one of their own being picked up. The pink animal in Hagrid's arms closely resembled a Muggle piggy bank. "Go ahead, pick one of 'em up. Take care of 'im."
No one budged. The class exchanged bewildered looks.
"Go on now," Hagrid urged. "Oh an' if they get try to get in yer pockets don' be scared, they eat pocket lint."
Lavender and Pavarti jumped up and walked toward the pen.
"Oooh! They are so cute!" Pavarti squealed and picked up one of the frozen piglets. It immediately sprung to life as she touched it. The chubby thing squirmed to get away but Pavarti clung to it. Seeing that it was ok to touch them the rest of the class followed suit.
The trio agreed that this was by far one of the best classes they had ever had. The pints were adorable and so diverse. It seemed as though they all had their own personalities. Hermione's chased after Ron's, who found this less than amusing. While Harry's Pint slept on his lap. Harry had yet to see it awake.
Lila who had gone over to talk to Lavender and Pavarti walked toward them with an exhausted expression on her face, her Cork-nose was following right behind her.
"Lavender and Pavarti named theirs." She said rolling her eyes.
Ron snorted with laughter, "What're their names?"
"Corky and Snufflupkins," Lila laughed.
"Any new clues yet?" Hermione asked.
Lila stared at her, "How do you know about the clues?"
"...Harry told me..."
"Oh! Nope, no new ones, they still think I'm stupid for not getting their first one. But bloody hell, what is a broom stick supposed to tell you?" Lila ranted.
"That he plays quidditch?" Ron chimed in.
Lila looked rather embarrassed, "Goodness... maybe I am stupid!" She jumped up. "I'll be right back."
