She seemed sweet!
Her hand was scribbling down his words as fast as she could. So..he had attended some?! That was cool. Eden did have a few followup questions she wanted to ask, yeah! "So when you attended them while in University...did you enjoy them?" she asked curiously, her quill poised. "Did you find the Abraxans were treated all right? I know there are some enthusiasts out there who oppose the racing of Abraxan--but there are others who find it perfectly acceptable."
Eden herself was still on the fence.
Lala knew one thing for sure, she liked this girl! She was very gentle with her and this goose knew her delicate feathers deserved the best pets, making her move even closer. Meanwhile Professor Thompson was softly stroking his own facial hair beard. Could probably use a little extra trim, but no matter as he was reliving those earlier days. "
I certainly did," Before continuing, "
You'll find those critics around in just about any sport, with legitimate reasons, such as that with Quidditch," However, "
Most of the criticism is on the overall concern for the well-being on the Abraxans and their treatment. While kept in a controlled environment during the race, there are some incidents of their drinks being tainted with potions to increase their strength and speed for example. Actions that are dealt with just as well as with any evidence of abuse thanks to the strict rules kept in place." So what did that mean? "
As long as it remains in control, there will remain fewer reasons to discontinue the sport."

He also wondered about this, "When should I apply. Did i miss the dates?" he asked hoping he wasn't TOO late.
Ah well he needed to get a journal. He grinned and got out his wand and summoned one journal that was empty. "Well I have this empty journal right here I will use..." he said opening it and showing his blank pages. "I guess I will have to remember all the creatures I dealt with huh?" he laughed. "I am mad I didn't make notes back then when I was a first year.." he shrugged. But then again he didn't know he wanted to do this back in his first year. "I know we dealt with Unicorns, Abraxan Horses, Nifflers and Hippogriffs that is about all I can remember for now.." he said making notes on his journal. "Would the animals from my farm work too? Would I need to put them in?" he asked to be sure.
"
Well Mr. Lecium, for starters you'll want to introduce yourself and your own background and include why you want to attend their Magical Institution. With your own words and how you feel attending there will help benefit you as well as them." As for the dates however, he gave a little wink after saying this "
Let's go with yesterday as your due date." Now why? "
Not because it is too late, but putting this until the last moment will not only hurt your chances but interfere with your NEWT studies. The coursework is only just beginning to pile on even more during this time."
Good, he did have a journal at hand. Remembering all the magical creatures? "
That is correct." Now where to start, "
Yes, non-magical creatures can count. I suggest you start from as early as you remember. Listing their characteristics and appearances. Dated by year if you prefer. You might just happen to even remember the ones your earliest years here at Hogwarts." Since Professor Thompson wasn't around then to help on that. Now how did this sound to the young man? He waited on that.
