And now she was losing points.
WHAT????
Whoa Whoa Professor he did nothing but help her. Why was he losing points? Is it better to have a lizard running around the castle? Well, it would make the castle more interesting. "But Professor we couldn't just leave a lizard loose in a bathroom"
Really, he would be able to go if he knew their could be a lizard watching. He had to forget about ghosts everytime. Quote:

"With all due respect, Professor," She began, not making any moves to hand over the lizard just yet. A lot of hard work had gone in to Einstein. She'd finally found the right rate so he didn't explode like the first had and he didn't suddenly suffer some bone malfunction like the second. This was what progress was all about. Weeks and weeks of study....gone....just like that.....? "I've never seen that rule in the handbook and I've read it cover to cover. We turn rats to goblets in Transfiguration class, real rats. We experiment on them in order to acquire the practice and knowledge. How's it any different from practising a charm on them?" It didn't seem there was any real differentiation. "I apologize if it's made you feel uncomfortable, Professor, it's a shame it has but it's not uncommon in this school. I've never been warned not to and while I accept the point loss for the bathroom, this lizard is still perfectly healthy and aiding in my education."
Her brows creased, the reluctance to hand over Einstein growing exponentially. She wasn't a rule breaker. This wasn't a rule, unless he was making it now, in which case it was hardly fair to punish without a warning. "The Animalis Fidelis charm is on our curriculum. It doesn't affect free will in any way, it simply calms the creature down and the effects are not long lasting. He was spooked and in danger of hurting himself. I was trying to make the situation better. I don't think I understand how that could be wrong." SO MANY WEEKS OF RESEARCH THOUGH. How did one simply...hand it over...? Sooner or later they WOULD have gotten to this charm. It was in the text and everything. She would be having a word with her Head of House too. "Theo's right, we couldn't have left it to run loose. He'd get hurt and others would too in the process." The Gryffindor hardly deserved to lose anything, even if she did. No comment on the other creatures she had. She was NOT releasing them and she was NOT taking the charms off. A lot of work had gone into them. Months of observation she would never be able to get back. It simply wasn't happening and she wouldn't acknowledge he'd said it at all.
The lizard remained in her possession, waiting for an explanation. Tristan listened to their arguments they both made great cases...however short Theo's was. But they were missing his point completely. He took a deep breath, calming his anger, for these were young students after all, and responded, "Miss Cambridge, I think it is wonderful that you are so curious and want to learn more about creatures by studying them naturally. But these spells are to be used in the classroom under teacher supervision. It is against school rules to experiment on animals, and can be quite dangerous. I am only thinking of your safety, as well as the animals." He paused. "As a curious student, here's a riddle for you: Who has two thumbs and can answer all your questions about magical creatures?" He pointed his thumbs at himself. "This guy." He flashed her a smile. "Plus minimal chance of getting covered in lizard guts if a spell goes wrong. Or you can go and visit the Library. The creatures section is quite large, and only some of the books have had pages burned away by dragon fire." He gave them a small smile. "The points loss will remain as a lesson for you both. So if you would please, hand me the lizard so we can return it to it's natural habitat?" Hopefully they would understand him better now. Sometimes his anger got the best of him.
