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?"


She felt kind of bad for making Emmeline worry, but Stasya also knew her squirrel. Dobby wouldn’t run away, although he did like climbing in the barn. The squirrel did that at home too, and she figured if he was allowed in her dorm he would end up climbing up her bedposts. That still didn’t explain why he wasn’t allowed in there, but she was almost resigned to the fact he was now. Except she still wanted to make sure the squirrel got to see the castle, which was why she’d taken him up to the courtyard. Besides, she knew Emmeline wouldn’t say anything anyway, so they wer all safe.

The squirrel in question, though, was much more intrigued by Emmeline right now, which made Stasya giggle a little. “He likes you,” she informed her. Dobby wouldn’t’ve gotten hat close if he didn’t, and she knew Emmeline knew how to act around creatures anyway. “Course you can,” she said, giggling again as Dobby had actually decided to jump off her hand and onto Emmeline’s to investigate further. Apparently Dobby was okay with it too. “Maybe when they’re a little older?” She figured Professor Wayland had his reasons for making sure they didn’t take their babies anywhere he didn’t want them to. Just like she had her reasons why she wanted Dobby to learn about his new home. “He’s awesome. Really fuzzy and cuddly still,” she added, smiling again. Aside from Albus’ habit of trying to lick her ear, it was fun.
