But back to him. "Lala." She paused and gave the bird another glance. "Okay... I'm just... a little cautious, you must understand. I once had cattle released into my office as part of a very UN-funny prank. They were the reason I had to remodel." She gestured toward the carpet and left it at that, then moved behind her desk to sit. He could sit too, and his... goose, she supposed.
"You were one of my first students, then," the Headmistress shook her head but with a smile. "Thank you. Time has treated you well, too. I've been Headmistress since 2078." So about four years now. WOW. Only four years?! "Tell me, Mr. Thompson... what have you been up to since graduation?" "
Mm, how unfortunate." Javy remarked. He couldn't really imagine the thought of a stampede of cattle being able to fit all comfortable in the office.
Impressive.. yet disturbing. There were certain animals that could not stay indoors. Since she seemed alright with Lala now, he could now take a seat facing the Headmistress' desk.
Mm, comfy. Javy could definitely get use to this. As Lala then decided to lay her head over his leg to get some gentle pets from him.
Javy grinned back at his former Professor. Overall, it was certainly true with more good overtaking any bad that had happened in his more recent life. So she had been the head of the school for four years, "
A promotion well-deserved then." No, he wasn't brown-nosing. Given the constant 'natural' dangers against the school, it's just about an impressive feat to still keep it going. Especially from not-so-long ago dementor attacks and financial issues. He liked to keep up-to-date on things.
Stroking Lala's head and neck, as he heard her interest in his time after Hogwarts. Certainly, Javy could recall the last fourteen years. "
Well.. after Hogwarts I had moved back home in Madrid to pursue higher education at the Wizarding University for Magizoology, and minored in Potions." It was a start, "
I always had an interest in bird-like creatures, so I first earned my certifications to handle and own them before graduating in 2073." His thirst for knowledge had clearly never stopped, "
I tutored in the department and earned my experience handling creatures at the nearby animal shelter, before working at a potioneering and harvesting company, where I brewed potions and harvested samples from live animals such as feathers from jobberknolls, hippogriffs, and dung from mooncalfs to perfect the potions." He could get even more detailed, if she wished. Javy had no problems with that.
