Elementary: Rf!
Elementary: *Pants happily.*
Hermione: Do you have a name then? *continues patting the puppy*
Elementary: *Has a collar that says "Elementary" on it*
Ron: He's called 'Elementary', my dear Granger.
Hermione: *giggles*
Hermione: Oooo so you're Elementary, huh?
Elementary: *Barks happily, recognizing his name.*
Hermione: *holds out Elementary in front of her before cuddling him close*
Ron: Isn't he brilliant?
Ron: *reaches over and pats him adoringly*
Hermione: Ron, when the children are older, we are getting a puppy.
Hermione: I thought you should know.
Ron: *grins* Was hoping you might say that.
Hermione: *to Elementary* You like doggy treats, don't you?
Ron: I want him to visit us. I love this guy.
Elementary: *Nods happily.*
Elementary: ^____^
Elementary: *Sniffs around, hoping there's food.*
Hermione: *giggles at Elementary* I bet I know what that snuffle means...
Hermione: you want food, don't you?
Ron: Like someone else I know. *pats his stomach*
Elementary: *Barks*
Hermione: Well, you can get your own, Ron... This little guy can't!
Hermione: *to Elementary* And what to big strong doggies like you eat?
Elementary: o_o
Ron: *smiles at the interaction of El and Hermione*
Elementary: *Food!*
Hermione: Oh I think I know...
Ron: I reckon there's some biscuits around here.
Elementary: O_O
Elementary: *Recognizes the word biscuits*
Hermione: *puts Elementary down for a minute*
Hermione: Let's see if we can't find something for you to eat, huh?
Hermione: Want to use your tracking skills to find them?
Elementary: *Follows her, looking up, nearly tripping over himself and her feet.*
Elementary: RF!
Elementary: *Bounds off, looking all about the room.*
Ron: Hermione, this is the cutest creature I've ever seen.
Ron: And it takes a lot for me to say that.
Ron: *sits down on the floor and watches*
Hermione: He's adorable, Ron.
Elementary: *Pokes about in anything that he can see.*
Hermione: *stands behind Ron with one hand on her back and one in his hair*
Elementary: *Returns with a little bag, or w hatever the biscuits are in.*
Hermione: Well DONE, Elementary!
Elementary: ^_^
Hermione: You are such a smart puppy!
Hermione: Yes you are.
Elementary: *Waggles tail happily, because he feels special.*
Ron: *claps his hands to coax him over*
Elementary: *Walks over to Ron.*
Ron: *puts out a hand to stroke his back*
Elementary: ^_____^
Elementary: *Nuzzles up against him.*
Ron: *pats Elementary and takes the bag*
Ron: Want to look inside, 'Mione?
Ron: *pulls Elementary into his lap*
Hermione: *takes the bag from Ron and looks inside*
Hermione: Oooo I think we have biscuits, Elementary!
Hermione: *takes out one biscuit and lowers herself beside Ron*
Hermione: *holds out the biscuit to Elementary*
Elementary: o_o
Elementary: *Sniffs at it, then pulls it away from her.*
Elementary: *Happily munches on it until it is no more, then looks at her for more..*
Ron: Did you see that, Hermione? The way he took it?
Hermione: I did.
Hermione: Such a smart and polite puppy.
Ron: Cute, Hermione. Just ... Cute.
Hermione: *pats Elementary*
Elementary: ^____^
Hermione: Do you want another biscuit?
Elementary: RF!
Ron: Think he does.
Hermione: We should be careful about overfeeding him, Ron.
Elementary: *Looks expectantly.*
Ron: He can have one more ... Here, I want to give it to him!
Hermione: *takes another biscuit out of the bag* Last one, Elementary!
Hermione: *hands the biscuit over to Ron*
Elementary: *Eyes follow the biscuit.*
Ron: *takes it from Hermione and waves it above Elementary's nose*
Ron: He follows it!
Elementary: *Staaares*
Hermione: He does!
Elementary: *Gets up on two legs.*
Hermione: LOOK!
Ron: *jaw drops* OH MY GOSH.
Elementary: ^___^ RF RRrrrrrF!
Ron: *holds out a forearm to support El's front paws and hands him the biscuit*
Ron: Look at his feet, they're so ... large but small and ...
Hermione: I think that when the weather's nicer we should take him outside.
Elementary: *Grabs the biscuit, then sits down to chew on it.*
Hermione: I'll bet he'd love running around the grounds here!
Hermione: *sits down and leans into Ron*
Ron: He would. Would you like that, Elementary?
Ron: All the hills and grass and trees?
Elementary: ^___
Elementary: RF RF!!!
Elementary: *Jumps up and down.*
Ron: *catches him and falls on his back, puppy on his chest*
Ron: *laughs*
Hermione: *laughs*
Hermione: I think Elementary likes the idea, Ron.
Ron: He owns me, Hermione.
Elementary: ^_^
Hermione: *smiles down at Ron softly*
Elementary: *completey does!*
Hermione: You're going to make a wonderful father, Ron.
Elementary: ^____^ *Waggles tail happily and licks Ron's face*
Ron: And Elementary is going to make a wonderful puppy-dog! *giggles*
Ron: He's making out with me, Hermione!
Ron: *sniggers*
Hermione: Yes, I see that.
Hermione: It's a nice change, huh?
Elementary: ^___^
Ron: Mm, doggie breath! Favourite flavour!
Ron: *scratches Elementary behind his ears*
Elementary: ^______________________^
Hermione: *chuckles*
Elementary: *Jumps off of Ron and onto the floor.*
Hermione: So you like Ron, huh?
Hermione: *claps her hands to beckon Elementary over*
Elementary: *Runs over.*
Ron: *sits up and wipes his face on his sleeve*\
Hermione: *laughs* Go wash your face or something, Ron.
Hermione: *picks up Elementary*
Hermione: You are such a cute doggie. Yes you are.
Hermione: *holds Elementary in one arm and rubs his tummy*
Elementary: ^________^
Ron: *gets up and goes to wash his face in the basin*
Elementary: *Pants, enjoying all the attention and patting and whatnot.*
Ron: *returns and sits down across from Hermione and Elementary*
Hermione: *giggles at Elementary as she continues rubbing his tummy*
Hermione: You like all the attention, don't you?
Elementary: ^_^ *Nods and barks.*
Ron: *leans over to scratch his belly as well*
Ron: Watson and Holmes are so lucky to have you.
Elementary: *Is as happy as a puppy could be.*
Hermione: We should find him a pillow or something so he can sleep here if he wants, Ron.
Ron: He's always welcome.
Ron: Always a welcome pup.
Elementary: *Sits up.*
Ron: He can snooze here when he likes, but I reckon Watson and Holmes want him back eventually.
Hermione: They'll have to come get him.
Hermione: I'm not done playing with Elementary yet.
Ron: Just remember, Elementary, we've got the *good* biscuits!
Hermione: *scratches Elementary behind the ears*
Elementary: *Perks up a tthe word biscuits.*
Elementary: *Now expecting to get some more.*
Ron: No no, El, not right now.
Hermione: *hugs Elementary*
Ron: You'll puke and that would be a fun mess.
Hermione: Aww... poor Elementary.
Hermione: Ron teasing you like that?
Ron: Hey, I'm encouraging him to come back!
Hermione: Would you rather be with Ron, Elementary?
Hermione: Or do you like Hermione hugs?
Elementary: o_o
Elementary: ;_;
Elementary: *Feels sad because no more biscuits*
Ron: You'll get one for the road later, mate.
Elementary: *Sniffs at Ron's hands just to make sure he doesn't have any biscuits*
Elementary: *When he's satisfied, he sits up and stares at the two of them.*
Ron: Just washed them.
Elementary: *Licks them again.*
Hermione: *laughs*
Ron: Thanks. *coaxes Elementary back into his lap*
Elementary: *Walks about in a circle, then curls up.*
Ron: Awwww ... *picks him up in his arms and cradles him*
Elementary: *Yawns and snuggles.*
Ron: I think he's too pooped to poop.
Hermione: We wore him out!
Hermione: Let me go find a pillow or something...
Elementary: *Yawns again and stretches*
Ron: I could take him back to Watson, too.
Ron: Whichever
Ron: *smiles down at Elementary*
Elementary: ^___^ *Smiles tiredly.*
Ron: *strokes his back*
Hermione: Well... as long as he comes back frequently... I suppose you could take him back.
Elementary: *Stretches again and closes his eyes.*
Ron: Could sleep on the bed, too.
Hermione: I reckon he could.
Ron: Hermione!
Hermione: What?
Ron: I think I'm in love! *grins*
Ron: And ... He has a *tail*
Hermione: *sighs* I suppose it was inevitable.
Elementary: *Falls asleep on Ron*
Ron: Oh, I bore him.
Elementary: *Becuase Ron is comfy and nice an' stuff.*
Hermione: Ahh no... I think that's when they feel safe.
Hermione: When they fall asleep on you, they feel safe.
Elementary: *Curls up in a little ball, one paw lain across his head.*
Ron: *looks slightly panicked* What do I do now?
Hermione: *crawls over to Ron*
Hermione: *gently picks up Elementary*
Ron: *bites his lip* Mind his head!
Hermione: *whispers* Come on, little guy, let's put you on the bed.
Hermione: *takes extra care to support Elementary's head*
Elementary: *Whines a bit in his sleep*
Ron: Oh ...!
Hermione: *carefully walks up the stairs to the dorms*
Ron: *follows anxiously*
Hermione: *holds Elementary close so as not to drop him*
Hermione: *stops and turns her head*
Elementary: *Snuggles next to her.*
Hermione: *whispers* Can you get the door, Ron?
Ron: *cranes over Hermione's shoulder to get a peek*
Ron: Yeah ... *sprints ahead to pull it open*
Hermione: *carefully walks through the door and over to Ron's bed*
Ron: Why am I not cringing at the idea of a furry mammal being on my clean sheets?
Elementary: *Sprawls out across the sheets.*
Hermione: Because he's cute.
Hermione: And you love him?
Ron: Just ... Look at him!
Ron: It's like he's doing everything in his power to melt my heart to nothing!
Hermione: I was looking at you, but yes.
Ron: He's stronger than Dumbledore!
Ron: *rolls eyes and grins*
Elementary: *Flexes his little paws.*
Ron: *heart melts*
Hermione: *walks over to Ron and hugs him*
Ron: *hugs Hermione and kisses her softly* Brilliant thing, him.
Hermione: I maintain what I said before, Ron.
Hermione: You're going to make for a wonderful Dad.
Ron: *smiles sheepishly*
Ron: *looks over at El* Little git took my bed.
Elementary: *Was quite happy to do it, too.*
Ron: *leans in to kiss Hermione warmly*
Hermione: *kisses Ron back*
Hermione: Get some sleep, love.
Ron: You'll be an excellent, beautiful mum.
Ron: Goodnight. *smiles at El* Him too.
Ron: *sidles off to bed* Love you.
