She smiled at the girl and opened her mouth to tell her that her name is Maddie, but the boy beat her to it. "Yup, I'm Maddie! Nice to meet you, Emmeline," she said. Maddie could always meet new friends, since she currently only REALLY knew about...three people. "You have a niffler," Maddie said, her jaw dropped in awe. Did everyone around here have a baby creature? Could she have one, too?! "Do you two know if any of the other babies don't have a student to watch after them?" Maddie wanted to adopted...fifty-six of them! "You both have such adorable pets!" Even if the bowtruckle looked like he might want to start a war with her. "It's okay," Maddie said with a shrug, as Derf apologized. She also now knew who was who--the boy was Derf, and the bowtruckle was Picketta! She turned around and looked around the nursery. She wanted an animal to call hers, too! Quote:

Picketta's protectiveness was super, super cute, but Emmeline was eyeing her sharp-ish fingers a bit wearily, and ended up taking a step back. She maybe wouldn't have if she'd been by herself, but she was still carrying Sapphire and didn't want to risk the baby getting attacked. She grinned as the baby niffler in question looked curiously at the two Hufflepuffs and made some of her snuffling noises. Maybe she was saying hi?
She gave Maddie another smile, which just grew and grew the more the other girl talked. Another person that liked creatures, yesss! Or at least, she seemed to like baby ones. The Gryffindor shook her head as Maddie started talking about Sapphire, though, and said: "Nooo, Sapphire isn't mine. I'm just playing with her today. I'm gonna maybe ask Professor Wayland if I can adopt her, though." She paused to take a breath and went on, "My baby creature is a male crup named Sirius, and his kennel is over there" -- she pointed towards the cruppy kennels -- "But he's all sleepy this early in the morning, mhm. And there are looooads of babies that don't have anyone. You just go to their areas and check their name tags. What's your faaaavorite kind of creature, Maddie?" She pointed out a sign posted near the bowtruckles' tree that listed all of the bowtruckles' names and had some student names under the ones that were adopted. Emmeline had a GOOD feeling about Maddie so far, mhm. And and, the second year was so excited that she was kind of saying all of this maybe too fast. But there was a first year who liked creatures! It was awesome!!
Derf was mostly trying to handle Picketta while Emmeline and Maddie talked, offering the bowtruckle a few of his own exasperating clicks of the tongue and teeth to try and converse with her in her own language to get the point across. Thank Merlin she had finally grown accustomed to Natalie at least. Everyone else seemed to be a bit of a work in progress, even Emmeline and Stasya who were naturals with handling creatures. Sigh.
"I reckon if you ask Professor Wayland about taking care of one creature in particular he could arrange something for you," he suggested to the first year. "How Emmeline and myself started out with Sirius and Picketta. It was a project last term and stuff. Just because it's not an official option this term doesn't mean you can't arrange it for yourself." Kinda like how he and Bel were maybe kinda sorta going to try and make a biking circle of sorts. He still needed to find her and arrange for her to teach him HOW to ride a bike...but one step at a time.
Turning towards Maddie properly, Derf gave her a looooooong look up and down as if trying to size her up...but mostly he was just trying to assess based on his initial impressions of her just WHICH creature would be best suited for her bubbly personality. Which of course lead to the obvious conclusion of a cruppy, but there were LOADS more creatures in the nursery too.
"I think you and Bubbles could get along super," he nodded while nodding his head towards the puffskein. "They are super easy to care for and love being cuddled and tossed about...AND you can use their hair in potions too...so grooming them would really be two fwoopers with one stone, you know? And besides...you're bubbly like her name!" It was meant to be!
