It was only as Myers crossed behind her to close the door that she noticed there was still someone asleep. “He’s cute.”
Alright….animal lovers were nice.
“…Stone,” she supplied as she moved to take an offered seat. ”Olivia Stone.” Just in case he was one of those staffers who first names too. Or instead. Olivia shook her head at the offer of a drink. “No thank you…I’m okay,” she assured him. “I was just exploring and decided to visit.”
"Yes, I agree. He IS cute. His name is Charles Fluffington." Just to be fancy. He took the seat behind his desk and sipped his...very cold tea. It wasn't terrible, at least.
Well, she didn't want any drink! Fine.
"I have more than just tea, you know. I also may have some biscuits...somewhere...if I look..." he squinted over his shoulder at his cabinets littered amongst his bookshelves.
"Well, I'm glad for the visit. How are you enjoying Hogwarts so far, then, Olivia? Do you like it?" He was curious. He could remember being a first year, and how nerve wracking that entire term was. So much NEW and learning everything from scratch...
SPOILER!!: Kaycee

"Not a real gnome." Obviously. A muggle garden gnome. This was just a decoration. As for the second part. "I followed the directions actually." Which, she was capable of, for the record. She just preferred not to.
"Pretty cool, huh?" she said beaming. "There's other ones too. Like ones that look like sheeps' fur."
Directions? Paul took the plant and turned it over in his hands, ran his fingertips over the leafy part, chuckling quite a bit.
"What do you mean...directions?" he asked as he set it back down. "
There were...instructions on how to grow this type of plant?" he asked.
This was all so...curious.
"It is cool...I just...it's so silly and I love it, Kaycee! Thank you," he grinned.
"How long did it take you to grow it?" SPOILER!!: Ern

"I have a gray kneazle named Nimbus. Sir, we aren't allowed to have dogs here. I had to be a cat person by necessity if I wanted something to cuddle in the common room." Just... she adored Nimbus and would probably always be a cat person, but there weren't any dog people allowed to enjoy their pets at Hogwarts.
His delight at her gift made Dot delighted too, and she lowered her cup and smiled. "Those are for you. But, sir? I can help you raise them, if you want. I... I got an E on my Herbology OWL." She may have blushed just slightly.
Paul waited, very patiently, without averting his gaze. Were they having an unofficial staring contest? He wasn't sure how he would fare since his staring skills were lacking lately. He liked blinking.
"Kneazles are pretty nice, Dot. I was kidding, I assure you," he smirked a little as he sipped his tea. "
And I suppose that's a fair point. Hmm." He wondered if somehow...hmm. There were so FEW options allowed for the kids to have as pets...and he honestly didn't know anyone who wanted a toad
except for the hag, maybe.
The seeeeeeeeds were calling to him, and he nodded as Dot said she'd help him raise them.
"Of course you can, m'dear. I don't mind at all." And...it was nice to see a student who wasn't that enthusiastic about Herbology....show an interest. It quite warmed his heart, to tell the truth. He KNEW he'd get through to them..he just KNEW IT! He could cry right this minute--
Or not that minute, because he was tearing up
now about her getting an E on her O.W.L.
"D-Dot! That's wonderful! I am so so so proud of you! You're so bright, Miss Wojack. So bright." He blinked a lot before any tears could actually
fall and sipped his tea to distract his lip from trembling.
"I knew you would do well."
