'Cragons are a breed between crups and dragons. They're a brand new experiment, so not everything is known about them. Some of them have scales and hide, like dragons, some resemble dragons more than dogs, and some look more like Jack Russel terriers than others.

Their blood, livers and heart are highly magical and valuable. While they all have wings and can fly somewhat, it is unknown whether they would be able to fly well when older. They cannot breathe fire as of yet, but that doesn't stop them from trying. Every once in a while, they would sneeze and smoke would come out of their snouts.

In case they do start breathing fire, immediately call me and back away.

Their tails are forked, just like those of crups, but we won't be cutting them away, like we do with crups.

They are ferocious towards Muggles. While they are nicer towards wizards, they still distrust them and would hurt them if necessary. These are only cubs now, so they can't really do you any damage. Once they get to know someone - a wizard or a witch - and they see that the person is worth trusting, they become extremely loyal. Treat them with respect and they will respect you in turn.

Diet: Like crups, they will eat anything, but they do prefer meat. There's raw steaks prepared for you to feed them, but if they eat anything else, it won't be a big deal.

They have talons, like dragons and you'll have to cut them, with a painless Severing Charm. Make sure you do not hurt the Cragons.

If they have scales, you will polish them with the paste you can find in the basket I gave you. Put some paste on the provided cloth and polish the scales.
If they are rough-coated, like crups, you'll comb them with the dog comb, make sure there's no knots.

They'll want to fly around and it is encouraged that they do. I ask you to make sure they don't hurt themselves and to help them stay in the air. You can play with them, get their trust, don't hurt them and enjoy yourselves.

Professor Reid.'

Shawn listened to the Professor, grinning the whole while as his eyes remained on the Cragons. When she started pairing them off Shawn searched the crowd for Natasha, he'd seen the girl about enough to know her by name even though they hadn't hung out before. Heading over, he held out his hand and smiled in a friendly way. "Natasha, right? Shawn Travers, nice to meet you. This is going to be one fun lesson." he said excitedly.

Looking over the instructions that were given to him, he looked curiously at the Cragon nearest to him. Shawn imagined him larger, breathing fire, and able to fly a little even if it wasn't as well as some dragons do. It was a wondrous sight in his mind's eye, which started him hoping that maybe one of the Cragons would take a liking to him. At the moment, they were like playful kittens and puppies and were cute despite the fact some of them liked to wrestle around with others. Grabbing one of the raw steaks Shawn quickly diced it into smaller pieces with his wand and set one on the ground before the Cragon. "You hungry, little fella? Go ahead." he said encouragingly, nudging it an inch towards him.

This particular Cragon looked more like a dragon than a lot of the others. Its scales looked almost like the color of the ocean, a dark blue and sometimes almost green look to them in spots, a beautiful creature. As he got closer, Shawn saw the talons and he knew that he would have to do a careful trimming of them after he'd finished his snack. Slowly, the Cragon came forward and began to nibble on the meat, seemingly becoming more confident as he ate. "You're fierce like the sea in a storm, aren't you?" Shawn told it, as he set two more pieces of the steak down for it. The Cragon dug in and let out a small puff of smoke as if in an affirmative of his words, making the Hufflepuff chuckle.
