Before any concerned student asks, no, I hadn't any plans to set a baby dragon loose in the castle. Point of fact, I was working with the mite creature on a new programme of dragon keeping. Due to their undomesticated nature, most dragon keeping involves hexing and restraint and sedation. My own belief is that this only serves to make the creatures more aggressive, especially toward the keepers. You try telling a dragon keeper that they don't know their own business, though, and make sure you duck quick after the telling.
My study with Eithne - that's the her name, the Ridgeback's - was quite safe. You can see that I have no dragon-inflicted wounds upon me. My work was nearly finished, besides. I was planning to let Stornoway have her, hoping, of course, that they'd take my research into consideration when it comes to their keeping methods. Now that she's been spooked and caged I'm not sure my research is worth a knut. She'll be scared of people now, and apt to bite again.
As always, the Care of Magical Creatures shack is off limits to all (yes, all) students who are not accompanied by myself. Would have thought the sign and the lock would have been enough to make that clear - not to mention the smell.
