It was the idea that others might panic that hadn’t ever really occurred to her, but that only made the appearance of Emmeline as she had stopped in front of her that much more surprising. Her first thought was that her squirrel had done something in the barn that she hadn’t noticed before she’d taken him for the walk, but then there was that pause.

People kept pausing when they saw her, and it was starting to make her wonder what was going on. First there was that weird thing in Charms when Derf had suddenly stuttered again, and now Emmeline. It was definitely weird, but then she’d grinned at her friend’s words as Dobby had scampered down her arm to look at Emmeline closer like he was returning the greeting. “Course he’s here. I’m showing him Hogwarts, or at least what I think won’t make anyone angry.” They were still outside after all, even if she still didn’t really understand why she couldn’t bring the squirrel inside the castle. Why she couldn’t have him in her room. She knew Emmeline wouldn’t mind him, anyway.

Stasya's response made it obvious to Emmeline that she'd been the one to let Dobby out of the barn; he hadn't run off. Though now that she stopped to think about it, Dobby wouldn't leave the barn without Stasya ever anyway. But she'd been kind of afraid that he might leave to try to find Stasya if he ever got the chance, and so her panic had taken over. She didn't understand why such a little guy couldn't just live in their room. Cats were allowed to and they were bigger, and it wasn't like Stasya didn't know how to take care of Dobby or anything.

She grinned as Dobby moved closer to her by running down her friend's arm. Moving slowly, so as not to startle him, she put her hand out closer to him for him to sniff if he wanted. Maybe that was only a cat thing, but Scamander had seemed to appreciate it too. Not that newts could smell like cats, she didn't think, but creatures don't like to be surprised. "Can I pet him?" She nodded as Stasya explained what she was doing. "Cool! I wish we could bring the babies out to show them too." But she knew that was a Big Deal, and super forbidden. She supposed Professor Wayland didn't want them taking any chances with the babies; what if some kids didn't know how to handle them and they ran off into the forest or something? Anyway..."How's your puffskein doing?"
