Not unless he knew any good and effective spells for transcontinental transport and could get Ministry clearance to use them all. And anyway, Cutty wasn't trying to repeat himself. He wished to move on to bigger and better things.
And, apparently Sophie was going to help him. His mind already started to consider the cost and how he was going to get out of it. This couldn't be for free.
The sick lil snake closed his eyes for a minute as he heated up a bit. His brows furrowed and his mouth frowned by how uncomfortable it was. "I think I just need some pepper-up potion."
Sophie nodded.
"Mmkay. Just remind me on the train. No--remind me ahead of time, because if I don't write my mom, she might send my dad to pick me up," she said. Sophie didn't think Cutty would have much interest in her dad. The two seemed about as much alike as peanut butter and broccoli.
She sighed.
"I'm going to have to take you to the Hospital Wing, aren't I?" she asked. Really, she just wanted an excuse not to do her Ancient Runes homework.
"That's going to cost you." She grinned.
"On the way back, let's give a random potion to an unexpected person and hide in the corner just to laugh at the effects. Or we can start a rumor--those are always fun. Like the one I started about you last school year."
