A crup? Really? Yet it completely looked like a...dog. So perhaps a crup was a dog. Or whatever. Apparently it would have been a little bit of use for him if he had read at least the index of the Care of Magical Creatures textbook. So he'd have known there was such a thing like a crup at the 'C' part of the index.
''Hmm...yeah. Of course. A crup.'' he said with a half fake and exeggerated smile trying to hide that general lack of information about the wizarding world he had, though it was his fifth year in it.

When he was done petting the Jack Russell Terrier crup, he turned his back to glance at Evelyn who was seeminly interested in the phoenix. Well...Josh also liked those big, red birds and it was not only because of the colour of its feathers. It also looked so noble and was one of the creatures related to fire. So, next he approached the bird yet stopped when Professor Bishop reminded him why he was there.

''Right...'' the Gryffindor said still eyeing the pretty redness of the phoenix for a moment or so before turning to face the woman ''I'd be very happy, if you did, professor.'' then walking forward he carefully placed the cup on her desk ''Just a few...things would be enough for me.'' Especially something about a quest. Hehe.

However, when the Slytherin girl's voice rose in the room right after his, the boy's little excited and happy smile vanished. List? Again? She was asking for a list. Eeeeh! Now he still had the excitement but this one was very stressing unlike the happy and curious one he had a moment ago. He was even more stressed about the fact that he was not going to be able to do anything if the professor would hand Evelyn a copy of that list. He couldn't just snatch all of the copies out her hand and destroy them all, could he? No way. She was a professor.

Trying not to look to worried and stressed which he was not sure if he succeeded, Josh quickly looked from Professor Bishop to Evelyn and vice versa repeatedly.

Say no! Say no! Say NO!
