Sheltering, yeah. "Ah-huh. I agree. Beuxbatons may have been worse at that then Hogwarts. All the fine food and the blasted silk uniforms. It's madness to think that you get those things handed to you on the outside." Not to mention the helpful Professors and the theoretical guarantee of safety the Castle walls gave you.
August took his tobogon hat off when she asked about his studies. "It's going. We obviously haven't gotten very far, it being only my first semester but it's mostly Runes and stuff right now. My Professor seems nice so far, although my Runes Professor seems to want everyone to fail." He wasn't though. He had learned Runes as best as he could at Hogwarts and had an excellent teacher in France, he wasn't going to let this professor get in his way of his career.
"How are the dragons. I really want to come see them...if that's allowed?" He looked at her with a grin. Would she sneak him in even if it weren't allowed?
Kurumi nearly choked on her pumpkin juice. "
Wait...silk? You wore silk uniforms?" she asked while trying not to crack up. For some reason she found the thought of August wearing silk so funny. Maybe it was because she had been there when he had had his bare chest painted for the pep rally or something. You know, when all of the Gryffindor boy were trying to be all manly and tough.
Runes. Yeah. Not a subject she had been fond of - especially after seeing the professor being eaten before he had answered her question - but she had received an O on her NEWT so she really couldn't complain about things much. "
I'm sure you'll do fine," she smile encouragingly. "
Can't be anymore frightening than Lafay, right?" Or maybe that was just her.
OH DRAGONS!
"
They are fantastic! I actually hatched and raised a Chinese Fireball that I named Seraphia to adolescence where she had to move to the reservation because she was too big to keep in the nursery. This term I get to start breeding studies instead of just hatchery. Mostly just been DNA analysis so far. Comparing helices and the like to find the best possible matches out of the teenage dragons for possible hybrid breeding. I am personally hoping that Seraphia is a match with this one male Antipodean Opaleye."
