Though truth be told, Simon wouldn't care too much as he would be learning all these awesome things about dragons that the Professors hadn't taught them yet at Hogwarts. He blinked, trying to make a mental note of everything Mordred was saying.

He blinked when Mordred answered his question about specializations. Gee. That sure made sense. why hadn't he thought that before? He dismissed the thought and kept up with listening to Mordred. His eyes widened when Mordred said 'Rider'. Being a dragon rider would've been awesome. "And what is your specialization?" he asked. He had remembered Ethan had talked about it, but he couldn't remember specifically what Mordred did.

Now when Mordred asked Simon a question about what he had researched, he was speechless for a bit. He counted on his fingers. Four. He had researched about four in depth. "Well I've done some research into Catalonian Fireball and Portuguese Long-Snout. However, they've both been extinct for a while so I wouldn't be able to work with them. I've researched about Hungarian Horntails and Romanian Longhorns." Simon paused. Despite all of these breeds, he was interested in finding more about the frost dragon. "I've tried to do some more research about frost dragons but couldn't find much in the Hogwarts' libraries." He frowned. He had failed in that aspect.


Out of habit, Mordred watched as Simon reached for his bag. Was he…going to show him something? The young man shifted his gaze outside to check if Ethan was there. Nope. Looks like the kid really did pass out. Hogwarts is a huge school with a lot of passageways, and the fact that the stairs there kept on moving, thus making Ethan’s tread time to double…or even triple. That is if he doesn’t know the secret corridors and portals.

Mordred gazed back to the young fellow when he asked him about his specialization. “I haven’t chosen yet. Or enrolled in that class formally. I’m planning to become a Tamer though.” Because that’s what he has been doing at the Russian Local Reserve. “It will require a lot of research, wand work, and physical exercise.” They will be the ones needed if Riders want access to dragons and such. Nothing’s cooler than being the bridge between beast and human, no?

The former Slytherin nodded and gestured Simon towards the stairs of the shop. Mordred sat on the third step and gestured the young boy to do the same. “Extinct, huh? I don’t believe that.” Well, the books may say so, but nothing beats experience. “You see, people can claim that, but that shouldn’t stop you from researching or studying them. If you ever find a good Tracker for you, then you just might discover that those dragons aren’t extinct.” Mordred paused and gave the boy a moment to let that sink in. “Books are good for information, but it is up to you if you want to prove it wrong, or accept whatever’s written on it.” Define defiance.

And Frost Dragons.

Mordred grinned at Simon and leaned closer to him. “I s’pose my cousin told you about Rugarth? The Frost Dragon I helped to migrate to the North Pole recently?” Well, lucky day for that young Slytherin boy. “What do you want to know about it?” Simon seems to be a bright kid, and Mordred was up to the task of giving him information. And if Ethan trusts this child, then it was good enough for the young man.
