I'm pretty sure the corridors are mostly always deserted now. I know I stay cooped up in the common room or my dorm, and only come out of my house when necessary." He said. But, at least Lily had gotten a hopeful Tag in wanting a frog for his own. The way Lily had reacted to hearing Alec's name made Tag smile. He'd missed him, clearly, and he hadn't heard his name for quite some time, from anyone really, so how happy Lily sounded to hear of Alec made Tag happy too. "I think asking would be appreciated. I don't know how I'd take a random pet from a friend, though." Tag said laughing quietly. Though Alec would probably not hesitate to take the frog for his own. "Besides, his flat, and his dad's house is probably a zoo, I think they have more than enough pets."

Almost like Tag. Currently three at home, one in Tag's dorm at the moment and one to be Tag's newest pet in a couple of minutes time.

There came more listening and nodding from Tag. "Yeah, I forgot I could go to Bentley about this." said Tag. "Thank you for reminding me though, of Bentley perhaps being able to help with the actual environment, I hadn't thought about that until this very moment." And now that he remembered, it wouldn't slip his mind so easily. He could also go to Thompson again, though he didn't want to bother his Professor over this more. "True." Tag agreed on the keeping the frogs warm part. "But, they have to be monitored a bit more as well, with this 'weather' their water could freeze up rather quickly." A hot air charm would be needed at all times until this was all over.

He watched Lily retrieve the frog Tag had picked out, and he quickly, but carefully gave the frog a little nudge off from her finger, and helped it get inside the matchbox. There, now froggy was almost safe. Tag got his wand out from his holster and performed a hot air charm, not too much though. He didn't want the frog to be burning up in there.

"Now, for a name." Tag laughed. He'd actually never named any of his pets so this would be a first. And he wouldn't mess it up.

Tag’s musing had gotten a shrug from the Ravenclaw. Lily had honestly never thought about how strange it might have been to have frogs as pets. Frogs deserved people just as much as any other animal, and they were in the Wizarding world. Unusual pets seemed more like they were the norm than anything else, as she thought about Cleo, Astrid and their sugar glider family. “It is nice of him, but I know he’s doing it for me,” she admitted. “And there could be more people with frogs for pets if they only came out and said they wanted one,” she continued, grinning a little. She had plenty at the moment, even subtracting the one he was taking and a few for Austin and herself. “I haven’t really left my common room much lately either. I think everyone is just trying to stay warm.” Hot air and insulation charms could only work so much. The fire in their common rooms worked so much better.

She’d smiled again at Tag’s reaction to, well, her reaction t his mention of Alec. She’d honestly never even thought about if people who weren’t at Hogwarts anymore might have wanted a frog or two, but then, that could have been because it was easier to try and find homes before the term was over. Especially when it seemed like there was no way of contacting anyone outside of the castle anymore. “Well, it isn’t like the frogs take up that much space. Maybe we could ask him later,” she commented. It wouldn’t hurt to ask, after all, even if Alec said no. Plus, she didn’t see how it was possible to have too many pets, even though she only had Gavroche and her frogs, along with her parents’ cat back at home. Unless she counted the pets at Aunt Elizabeth’s too, since that was where she’d been living lately.

She’d nodded as he’d agreed to her idea of asking Professor Bentley for help. It had made sense to her, and he didn’t seem completely illogical. “Honestly, I’d thought about her because of our bonsais,” she admitted with a laugh. “But I think she’d be good to ask about environment. Either her or Professor Thompson.” Which reminded her that she hadn’t figured out how they’d have any CoMC lessons while they were snowed in. “True. I haven’t had a lot of issues with their water freezing though, not since I keep the charms up in the terrariums pretty much all the time.” It kept more than just the frogs warm, but then, she also had to admit that keeping things tropical in there when it was so cold in the castle was more complicated than it should be.

Luckily, the frog was transferred into Tag’s box rather quickly, before it could feel too much of the frigid air from the corridor, and she’d watched as he’d cast the charm. Hopefully that would be okay and it hadn’t had too much of a shock from the move. “Of course,” she’d replied with a grin. All pets needed names. Although she figured Tag wouldn’t be like her, giving everything names from a book.
