ETHAN WOULD KILL HIM! He grabbed Feo's leash. "
Woah, slow down, Feo! Don't knock her over!" he said at the energetic Crup. Feo glanced up at him angelically.
Yeah, if Simon believed that look, then he'd believe anything. He just shook his head at the silly Crup.
He nodded. "
Neither have I. This is my first time down here too," he explained and then he was taken aback by her question. He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "
I volunteered to walk Feo for Professor Botros. He had been in Botros' office for a whole day and just wanted to get out. Do you want to pet him?" he offered. He was sure that Feo would love to be petted by a pretty Ravenclaw girl. "
Uhh..Do you have pets at home? I wish I did. I used to have a german shepherd a long, long time ago."
Feo? That was certainly a cute name? Not only that, he was Professor Botros' crup? Josette smiled almost immediately, she hadn't known that Professor Botros was the owner of this adorable creature. The second year's eyes were soon directed down at the eagerly adorable Feo as he was running around her feet in circles. Josette was soon beginning to notice that Simon's adorable companion was starting to entangle her feet with his leash & her eyes immediately looked towards the freezing lake beside them. Which was why she didn't dare to move, otherwise she'd be going for a very chilly swim. But when Simon had gone to stop Feo, she felt a slight tug at her legs because of his leash, which made her begin to topple over a little bit. Out of instinct, she reached out grabbing onto Simon's sleeve for a bit of stability just to she could be sure she had her balance again.
"S-Sorry.." Josette immediately let go of him & adjusted herself so that her legs weren't entangled any long.
There, all better, no swimming for Josie.
She was a bit surprised that he had never been down here before either, perhaps the older student new about it? It had to have made sense, she was only a second year so there was only so much of the castle she had seen. Oh, Simon had offered to walk Feo for Professor Botros?
"T-That's very nice.." That, and offering her if she wanted to him was another nice thing. Josette smiled at Simon giving him a nod, but she didn't rush to pet the creature. Instead she offered her hand for Feo giving him an opportunity to sniff her & get to know her scent. Once she felt confident even, she gave the happy Feo a few soft strokes on his head, followed by a scratch of his ear. Josette looked up at Simon once more as she went on to say,
"B-Before I came to Hogwarts I-I didn't have any pets...I bought Edwin at D-Diagon Alley before my f-first term...And on my twelfth birthday my f-father let me buy my kitten Sebastian..." She was a bit sad though that Simon didn't have any pets aside from his german shepherd.
"..W-Would your parents l-let you buy another pet?"
