Isobel looked curiously at Janice's egg. "What is your egg's name?"
"It was really fun," Isobel said with an enthusiastic nod. "Even the professor took part in it, but eventually he hid from us." She tried not to sound too devious as she said it, but it had kind of been funny.
"I did last year," she said. "I was not going to, but Professor Vindictus called the captains over and we helped at the basic class." But, of course, she was not captain anymore, but that was not something she wanted to discuss because it would just end up making her sad. "I heard about that," she said thoughtfully. "And I am very glad I was not there; I probably would have had a heart attack."
"Egg," she said.
"Just Egg. There's a capital 'E' in the front." She wondered how would she react. Maybe a raise of an eyebrow or two, like what people usually do when she said something weird.
"Yours?"
"Really?" Janice realized that even old people could be really playful sometimes. "What professor?" she asked while giggling.
"A lot of people were," she mused, remembering the time when the spider was controlled by Professor.
"The Gryffindor prefect looked really worried that time. Heaps of people were hiding. I was hyperventilating. Some daring ones flew past it and ended up getting a free blanket of webs. After 15 minutes --or was it an hour?-- Professor transfigured the giant spider into a flock of colourful balloons." Nice way to end it, eh?
