It was a shame that his house back home wasn't enough to hold all these animals too. Not that he hadn't made a VERY GOOD CASE for sending them there. Professor Thompson hadn't been too keen on the idea.

"But sometimes if kids have, like, other pets. They can keep them here. Like Zander's crup." Toby paused by the right stable and peeked in to see if he could see her. Nope. The Gryffindor had probably taken her out for a walk or something. Or maybe Soph had her. "Need permission and everything, though. But Professor Botros has a crup, Feo. He lives in his office and I walk him a whole lot and he's super cute. One time when I was a first year he got loose and Botros was chasing after him and I caught him and Botros was super happy. Have you met him? Feo, I mean?"

Toby was... talking a lot. Creatures. They brought out his enthusiasm.

Sabel made a noise of acknowledgement in his throat. Both to the fact that they were still allowed pets, and the reason Toby didn't have one in his room anymore. Understandable. Very understandable.

Except that all mature understanding left him at the mention of Botros chasing a pup. Sure, it might have been a few years ago and the man was impressively mobile for his age, but the visual image of him chasing a pup down the hall was absolutely amusing. The laughter that bubbled up was covered by a choking cough into his arm. It was a moment before his airway was clear enough to be able to speak. "Can't say I have. Not yet."

For some reason, he just didn't see Botros with a crup. Maybe a owl, or even a lizard.

Forcing his thoughts onto present matters, Sabel spared the kid a sidelong glance. "So, you want to work with creatures when you graduate then?"
