SPOILER!!: Professor Draper

When the professor mentioned the crup's tendency to be aggressive towards muggles, Janelle's head dropped, along with her hopes. "My father's a muggle. He's in the Navy, so he isn't home very often.........but, I guess that would be a problem." A big problem. Why hadn't she thought of this. In her enthusiasm to adopt Mikey, Janelle had overlooked that very important fact. Her father didn't come home often, but he did come home.

As for the extra study and exam. Janelle wouldn't mind that at all. She was willing to do whatever it took to have Mikey be hers. The muggle thing though, that might be the deal breaker. "Professor, are crups always aggressive toward muggles? Is there any way that Mikey might like my father?" Janelle couldn't imagine her crup not liking her father and vice versa. Could they maybe be the exception to the rule? "If there is any way you think this could work, I'll do whatever needs to be done. I don't mind extra study. I'd want to learn everything I needed to, to take good care of Mikey." So to answer the professor's question, yes.......yes, this was something that Janelle wanted to do. If it could be done, yes.
That….. Would have been a detail they needed much earlier.

James raised his brows only slightly and only for a few seconds before he returned his gaze to that of his normal-difficult-to-read calm. He didn’t speak right away, rather allowed for the gears in his head to keep turning. Knowing very well what he had to say on the matter, but letting Janelle steep in the possibilities for a few minutes. Was she nervous yet?

”A problem, yes,” he nodded. ”An impossibility, no.” Catch his drift?

With that, he pushed the papers he had fished out of his drawer earlier toward her end of the desk, without any real explanation. Well nothing other than, ”Of course you’ll need to fill out some basic paperwork.” Did she see what was happening here? Paperwork about the adoption, of course. ”But before anything is made official, you’ll have to take the exam to obtain the proper license. You’ll also be required to train with me for the remaining months of the term, as to make sure that Mikey will behave when around your father.”

With training, that situation should be just fine. ”And the crup will need to be housed in the barn during the school year, understood?”

Janelle's hopes were fading fast and the long pause before the professor spoke again did not help. Crickets. Crickets were chirping and Janelle was almost afraid to breathe. This was it. He was going to tell her that she couldn't adopt Mikey. She knew it.

And then.............An impossibility no? No? She still had a chance. Janelle's head snapped up. "You mean........I still have a chance to adopt Mikey?" Janelle stopped talking and listened. Fill out paperwork. Ok. Take the exam. No problem. Obtain the proper license. This all sounded do-able.

When Professor Draper said she would have to train with him for the rest of the term, Janelle broke into a smile. "Of course I will train with you. I told you I'd do whatever it takes to get Mikey, and I meant it. You just tell me where and when and I'm there." Janelle was all in. She would work as hard as possible and she was ready. Could they start now?

There were more details. Mikey had to live in the barn during the school year? Not a problem. "I understand professor. That works for me and I'm sure that it will be fine with Mikey." Janelle was really excited now. "What do I need to do first." She was ready to get her game plan together, so for now, she just had to be patient and listen.
