It seemed a little coincidental.
He arrived at the door and knocked, hopefully he wasn't busy. The Gryffindor would have hated to inconvenience him.
Javy wasn't quite as comfortable as with the barnyard outdoors. But there wasn't anything he could do about it with the cold continually creeping in. He would have to collect more items and make special trips to stay warm.. Well, once he dealt with the new visitor.
He waved his wand to open the door, "
Mr. Jones.. Come on in." It was much too cold to stay outside like this now. Waiting until he took a seat did he ask, "
Now what can I do for you?"

First she had to get settled in her seat. Might as well get comfortable in a place like this. She fished a chocolate frog from her bag and began smearing it against the biscuit...you know, to add flavour...
"Just the basics Sir...like how you proper befriend a Unicorn, so it doesn't run you through with its horn--and how you convince a Thestral to go up a couple flights of stairs." A couple being an understatement when you consider the 142 staircases they had back in the castle but all in due time. "I saw one down in Hogsmeade, didn't reckon they travelled that far but they must be looking for some place, right?" Think how helpful she was prepared to be!
Nodding as she thanked him for the biscuits. So this Gryffindor Prefect wanted to know more about Unicorn and.. a Thestral. Hmm.. He supposed he could start with the Unicorns first. "
Based on the age of the Unicorn, the younger ones are more trustworthy of us humans. They're one of the most sought after creatures, it just so happens the many who take them for granted has made them more afraid of us than threatening." Though back to befriending one, "
It's all about your behavior. They can sense our feelings and it doesn't take very long for them to realise the intentions. As long as your reason to approach them is just for befriending in a calm manner, the least of your worries will be on their horn." If she needed more information, she was free to ask as he waited.
Then it was on to this scenario she created with a Thestral.. Ah.. now he understood as she mentioned about the Hogsmeade incident. "
Yes.. well, as thoughtful as that is Miss Cambridge, the Gryffindor Common room or rather any dorms in the castle here isn't a Thestral's most pleasing of environment." Now to further explain. "
They're not meant to be kept indoors as they like having access to their meals and plenty of room to roam around whilst stretching their wings."

"Hello Professor Thompson!!" Just smile and wave... Oh yeah, why she was here... "Um well I visited Professor Flamsteed earlier with my pet." she wasn't going to say anymore about the pet until he asked more. "And he said I should come and talk to you." At that time Anneliese poked her head from the pocket of her coat and looked over at the Professor. The Gryffindor slightly grimaced she couldn't hide for ten more seconds?
The Professor nodded as she explained her visiting reason. So she had a pet.. a ferret from the looks of it as it poked its little head out of the student's pocket. "
Hmm.. a ferret. Well, Professor Flamsteed was right in sending you here. Come on in and have a seat." He could do the routine inspection on the pet and decide on the matter for it staying or not, and if so on where.
