It wasn't like she was keeping Dobby anywhere else or anything, though Emmeline felt bad that her friend couldn't have him in the dorm. She grinned at the thought of him getting on top of the four-posters and running around as high up as possible.
She beamed at Stasya when the other girl said that Dobby likes her, which he soon confirmed by jumping onto her hand. Making sure to keep that arm super still, so as not to scare him, she reached over and stroked the squirrel's back with her free hand. He was super fluffy and cute! "Curious little guy, isn't he?", she observed. She was so excited to be able to pet him! One of her temporary missions at Hogwarts was to pet every creature in the barn, and she had never gotten to pet a squirrel before. "He's super well trained, Stasya. You did really well,"she added with another big smile at her friend.
Albus definitely sounded awesome to Emmeline. She wished that he could play with her crup, Sirius, but the puppy was still chasing stuff right now and she didn't want him to scare Albus or anything. "Has Albus attacked your ear yet?"She made sure her tone was playful so that Stasya would know that she didn't mean actual attacking, but rather getting into her ears gently. Emmeline had grown up with Nanny's pygmy puffs and they did the same thing, naturally. In fact, sometimes it was hard to "fend them off" of her ear. "Nanny's pygmy puffs were crazy about ears, but they were sooo cuddly all the time. Especially if they actually got you," she made a face playfully as she talked about their ear habits. It was kind of gross but super cute, actually. And it was really funny when it was Nanny they were after, and she got to watch their antics."They used to sneak up on Nanny. They'd be on her shoulder all quiet and stuff, and then go for her ear out of nowhere!" So now Stasya knew that trick if Albus used it, yup.
It was sort of an unspoken agreement with their little group. Nobody would turn the other in for sneaking their creatures out of the barn temporarily. Honestly, Stasya sort of envied Derf his pockets where he could hide Scamander and probably Picketta now too. She just also knew that both Dobby and now Albus were much too active to hide in a pocket. That didn’t change her wanting them to see the world outside of the barn, and knowing she could trust her friends to understand was nice. Plus, she figured Professor Wayland would only complain if she didn’t bring Dobby back after her walk.
She had watched Emmeline to find out how she would react when Dobby had scampered over to her. Not everyone was okay with his sharp little claws and everything, after all, but she’d beamed back when she’d only slowly reached over to stroke his back. “Yep. He likes people, too. Kind of like me,” she replied. She was a good squirrel mama, and she’d only beamed more at the compliment. “Thanks. D’you think that maybe the headmistress and Professor Wayland just don’t know that yet and that’s why he has to stay in the barn?” It was a theory, anyway. Better than any of the others she’d had before now.
The question about Albus had made a giggle slip out of her, too. Even without the explanation, she knew what Emmeline meant. Not a real attack. “Mhm. It feels really weird when he licks my ear. Kinda tickles.” It was the one thing she didn’t really understand, but she also didn’t know if she really wanted to try to train him not to either. Maybe she’d break his spirit if she tried to make him stop, and she didn’t want to do that. “Your Nanny had pygmy puffs?” Honestly she hadn’t really considered having one before the extra-credit assignment, but now she was happy she’d signed up. Even if she hadn’t gotten a Granian foal. Albus was fun too.
