That WOULD be killing two birds with one stone, disciplining Walnut while working on her magic at the same time.

"I...have been using a spray bottle...but it hasn't been very effective." Obviously. Maybe it was a liquids thing? "I'll try a few new things. At least I know I have ham to fall back on." As weird as that sounded coming out of the sixth year's mouth, it was also a bit of a relief.

Kurumi blushed a little at Professor Williamson's next words. True, she DID still have a lot to learn....but you had to admit that not being able to handle a cat was not providing the best outlook in a future with more...complicated creatures. "It's...sort of been a dream of mine since I found out I was a witch," she nodded. "Most people look at me strangely when I mention it..." Probably because she was so small and seemingly meek. Not many pictured Kurumi Hollingberry's future career as one that involved taming dragons. "I don't really know what my options are though." Where to study after Hogwarts. What to study. What sorts of subcategories there were in the field....everything.

The Prefect who was consistently Hogwarts' top points earner thought that a spray bottle would work on her half-Kneazle? Really? Willy just sat there, shaking his head and wondering about Gryffindors some times.

"From one Magical Creatures professional to one hoping to enter the field," William answered after a moment, "you should definitely keep the Great Ham Trick™ up your sleeve and on the down-low. Don't want other professionals stealing that one." 'Other professionals' being kneazle whisperers and the like.

So! What else could he help Kurumi with, now that he'd sort of solved her cat problem? Career questions? Why not!

"Most people look at you strangely," William said kindly, "because they can see it's a dream of yours that you really, really want to achieve. You just can't listen to their pessimism." Like Oliver. If he'd listened to his best friend, by Merlin, Willy would never leave the house, much less sleep next to sick baby animals when they needed him.

So what were her options? "Well, I traveled the world for a bit after I graduated from Hogwarts, got to encounter a lot of creatures abroad, and then I ended up back here in Scotland." He shrugged. "Wizarding university is a great option to explore, so that you can further your studies and can choose which sort of creatures you'd like to study in a controlled environment."

It was also a lot safer than striking out on your own and just.... 'studying animals.' ~~Not that Willy had ever considered that option. Ahem.~~
