He was still reveling in the praise when she tossed a net at him. Catch a crup... with a net? Would it hurt the little guy? Maybe it wouldn't, especially 'cause HE was doing the dirty work. If it was her... well, let's just say Dima doubted that the creature would live to see another day.
Taking the roundabout way, the first year ran towards Feo. Looked like the pet was happy to see him too, because he bounded on over happily.
And as soon as he was in range, Dima dove. Did Lex know she owed him for this?
After handing the net to Dima she felt she had all the right in the world to stop running and she did. For all the knew, the 12 year old was bursting with energy out of his ears, just look at him cut across like. He was MADE for this and she was not...or wasn't but now was thanks to Felix but still not inclined to run any further after a crup when she had a Dima on hand.
Almost there...almost there...
YES!
"G'job!" She said, giving him a thumbs up before jogging over to him and the captured crup.
"You didn't squish him right? We kinda need him alive or the Professor might not be too happy about it." Dima didn't look that heavy in truth, but the crup was even less heavy, and he was tiny and spritely and ALL OVER. The Ravenclaw could have landed wrong, so wrong the poor thing didn't have time to scream.
Aw man, she wasn't liking the sound of that.
What excuses could one even come up with that would let the old man forgive them? There weren't that many.
