And so the not-a-pup had a name. "Is it a rock?" Erik still tried to be polite as he stared more closely at the thing. Funny how Flamsteed thought a rock required minimal care and was quiet. A toddler could have told him that. "Perhaps vhe Muggles who sold you vhat vere playing a prank on you, Mr. Flamsteed." Not a very good one, though. What a waste of money and energy for him, lugging a rock around.

It really WAS a shame! Surely the man understood just how much considering he was such a snazzy dresser. It was awful and the empty space in his tie display case was quickly becoming a metaphor for the hole in his heart about his missing tie.

Was it just him or was the man walking awfully fast? Oh well. Brisk walk never hurt anyone.

"She most certainly is!" he grinned. The best rock there was if he did say so himself. "Oh no. No prank at all. Pet rocks are a 1970's collectible conceived in Los Gatos, California by a rather inventive muggle by the name of Gary Dahl. They were quite popular back in the day I read somewhere." And considering that he wanted nothing to do with fur, it was the perfect pet for him.

Keeping pace with Erik thanks to his long legs, he paused beside the fountain and remembered a promise he had made to Miss Cambridge about turning the water off so that her and her friends could do some cleaning. It was a rather pitiful sight the way it was now. Not to mention the plaques were looking a bit rusty.

"Hard keeping up with all this maintenance without the house elves around," he chuckled awkwardly while he searched his charmed breast pocket for his wand.
