Adi was hardworking. Being a Hufflepuff said that all! "I think I can manage,'' was his enthusiastic reply. ''I'm on a mission to learn as much Koran as I can before this year is out.'' And Jackson would be his language Professor! If he chose to be, of course. The old interest of learning a new language was being awakened again. Maybe if all went well with Koran, he would choose another one to learn as well. "Can you teach me basic phrases? Good morning and stuff like that?" Also, being younger certainly did help with this... to bad Adi was showing a serious interest so late.

"It might be the only explanation,'' Adi mused. "I seriously doubt all of the last Groundskeepers decided they hate the job.'' He raised an eyebrow. "Eat him? It would have to be something huge possibly. Yes, I did hear about those, Professor. It's the reason I keep Gus with me practically everywhere I go.'' The sixth year fished into his pocket to bring out the toad. "I haven't seen anything.'' He glanced at Jackson. Had the other guy noticed anything? "Is this...thing, whatever it is, it seems to be only after creatures, right? At least from what we know but I wonder why it would go after Mr Scott?" Curious, curious.

The Hufflepuff snorted. Right . Quigley could call it what he wanted but it was an apple obsession. Mhmm. Gosh, an entire orchard! Did the man truely live off apples along? O__O But the Charms man was getting the look from Adi. His response about Jackson not seeing any apple trees seemed... off. At first it sounded like Quigley had seen one there before but then his next reply suggested he hadn't. "I've seen one around, Jackson. I could show you.'' Hehe. What do you say to that, Catman?
