"Durmstrang? Cool!'' But of course Adi had another question. "How come you're not as uptight as the ones that were here a few years ago?'' he wondered out loud. The ones he had seen about in classes here seemed to be so full of themselves but Ilia was the opposite. Not that he minded.

"You'll get used to it all.'' Yep. At eleven years old, he had thought he would never ever have gotten used to the Castle and their staircases because it was that HUGEEE! But now, at almost seventeen, he even knew some of the passages that were not so well known.

"CoMC is his favourite subject, I think.'' It was safe to deduce that since Henric was so into Dragons and toads. The Puffer tilted his head. "Is that your favourite subject too?" Wouldn't it be SO COOL if it was? Adi was always keen on meeting persons who loved that subject. "Of course! I wish I could understand his croaking sometimes. I bet he had HOURS of tales to tell. When I adopted him, I was told he could croak the alphabet but so far that hasn't happened.'' It disappointed Adi but he still loved Gus.

"It would be my honour!'' Hehe. "It can attack anyone who comes within reach of its branches,'' he informed Ilia and coming straight too the point. "There's a knot somewhere that can be used to stop it from moving though. And the best part? There's a passage from the tree that leads to the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade.'' Pretty cool, huh?
