Perhaps she would one day run for Minister herself. Perhaps she would even be receive a Damehood in the Muggle world from the Royal family for one of her discoveries. The brain of a Ravenclaw was one of the most magnificent things, especially when you were able to watch it develop over the years - he was only slightly sad that he wouldn't witness the rest of Jessa's growth as a thinker.

"Have you talked this over with the necessary professors? Care of Magical Creatures? Hirsch, if you're going to have it with you in the common room? Hawthorne, if it's in the castle? Miss Jessa, must you do everything on such a grand scale?" They didn't need a dragon loose in the castle so soon after a monster, honestly. And he most certainly didn't want to have to step up and do something to ruin the fun for this younger student. She reminded him of Brinlee, had Brinlee been able to put two thoughts together in a literal sense and not an insult.

With a laugh, he gave her a nudge with his elbow. "No experiments or sneaking out after curfew, Cambridge. I'll have you put in detention. A week for every second past curfew." A mere minute would put her in detention well into her fifth year.

"Okay, tell me what you've learned from your book so far."


"But that's just it, Roo!" She enthused, a half crazed glint in those sparkling blue eyes. "I'd mentioned getting a baby dragon to Clarissa and she was on about how dangerous it would be--then it hit me....what if...it wasn't dangerous?" Was he following where this was going? 'Cause she was getting excited all over again just thinking about it. "Imagine it, a dragon that never grows anywhere near as large as a real dragon, not as vicious as a real dragon--one that's possibly only similar in appearance and a few behaviours. Don't you think it'd be neat????" Of course he did. Didn't everyone?

"It probably won't grow taller than my knee cap if I do it right." She continued, finally reigning in her enthusiasm by some degree. The realization that she would need a lot more approval than she'd originally thought was all the more of a damper on the shiny eyed eagerness she'd sported just now.

Slowly her brows began to knit themselves together, giving her a look resembling that of someone perplexed by the topic of discussion. "It's still only in the initial stages. I don't even have a komodo dragon egg to work on or the dragon DNA or anything." In fact she was still on the stage of figuring out if it could be done, hence not asking for permission yet. It was an experiment waaaay up in the pipeline. Those brows evened out before arching up in a look of feigned shock. "Would you really lock me away that long??? How will I continue my experiments in ther--what's detention like?" Come to think of it...she had no idea.

Noting Rooney's minor shift in attention, Jessa also looked about the common room. Didn't take long to spot Sam sitting over there. She mirrored her Prefect, giving the girl a friendly wave before turning to him again. Yes, the enthusiasm was back. "So far I've learned that I'll need an unfertilized egg and I'll need someone to separate the good things I wanna keep about dragons. It's all very complicated and I'll likely have to get huge professional help for the technical parts."
