Surely the professor could handle himself.

"I can help take care of broken winged horses." She nodded, not the least bit discouraged by them not being smallish and cute. At least now she knew what kind of treats to bring. Plus, "And I can ride them too. Help them stretch their wings." Her tone was questioning and she gave the professor a look, waiting for him to approve. Maybe she would get Treyen down here sometime, for practical NEWT studies. Hehe.

She paused to look down at Jack again. CUTE. "Is that what you did before professor, break winged horses?"

Cause if so she had more questions for him.

"Can you help take care of whole winged horses too?" Williamson made a joke. Get it, broken vs. whole horses? "They would love to have riders, though I think you should take some time to get to know them before you jump on their backs." He smiled, feeling certain that Arya would befriend the horses with caution first. She was a trustworthy prefect after all, right?

Before being a professor, what HADN'T Willy done? "No," he shook his head, eying Jack for a moment before looking back up at Arya. "I was a dragon tamer." So breaking-in winged horses was just a tad easier than that. Heh.

When she did realize this, the fifth year breathed a sigh of relief and slouched a little in her seat. "How exactly do you do that, professor?" she asked curiously. "It seems like it would be very dangerous business trying to break a winged horse." Since you know, they would fly away with you still holding on and all that.

Kurumi glanced at Walnut and then back at Professor Williamson. "I don't think he does." She said. Walnut was stubborn like that. Seemed to be that unless HE considered it filtered, then it wasn't filtered. Then her eyes widened. Was he...really suggesting that he try the spell on Walnut? This man had nerves of steel. "I'm afraid the results of that would be...smelly..."

And cue more tail swishing from the clearly superior feline. Walnut's golden eyes glanced down at the STUPID!CRUP when it growled at him. Really? The thing was going there? That crup couldn't wash himself. Pfft. Being dependent on silly human creatures for everything was dumb.

He glanced back at Pine-Fresh Man and then to his stick. Yeah...just try it buddy...

Williamson could tell from Kurumi's expression that she didn't quite understand the use of the word 'break' here. Hiding a mischievous little smirk, William sipped at his tea and shrugged.

"It is a dangerous business, but after dragons, it's kind of.... a relief, to do something so much simpler." Simple it was not though. "You have to start with them when they're younger and much more trustworthy, not so... tempted to just fly off with you dangling on their side. And then it's a slow process, once you have their trust. You have to get them used to being around humans, get them to allow you to brush them, feed them, tie them to a post, bathe them, and then you start putting a little weight on their back so that they'll eventually let you saddle them and ride them...."

He trailed off after his mini-lecture and grinned. "Fun process, but very time-consuming." Good thing he enjoyed being around animals so much, eh? So long as they were cooperative... which Walnut was not....

Debating whether or not to cast on the cat, William settled into his seat more and studied the creature. So he didn't like Jack's warning growls, mmm. Heh. "I assume he's litterbox trained and such, yes?" He looked up at Kurumi. "Have you ever tried giving him potions or anything to make him more... cooperative?"

Less temperamental? and angry? and... smelly?
