He nodded along to what Shera was telling him about crups needing constant attention, because he couldn't agree more, but he was also considering all her options for low maintenance pets that she could move in between homes. "You did," he said, referring to her telling him about her homes in both France and America. "Then owls are your best bet! Or a rodent?" Or a salamander. He wanted a salamander so bad, but he supposed keeping it in a fire most of the time could be a hassle.

"Same for my Felix," he said with a smile, thinking about his own old family owl that was so dear to him, since they'd pretty much grown up together. "Felicis is a tawny owl, you can meet her anytime!" He didn't have anything in mind when he'd stepped inside Eeylops Owl Emporium, but seeing her was love at first sight, and the owl turned out to be an absolute sweetheart.

Oh! The imps... "They're-similar to pixies? Except they don't fly." Thank Merlin for that. "But they love to cause trouble and mess around... and drive my mother insane." Though there was no way he was letting her chase them away.

Daehyun's jaw dropped when she'd told him the riddles changed. He couldn't imagine having to go through that each time he wanted to return to the common room. "I would've probably found another place to sleep if I were you," he joked-or was he joking? "Like the owlery..." The hoots of the owls were some of the most comforting things in the world for him, so he'd have no problem camping there.

His eyebrows went up until they hid behind the hair that fell over his forehead and nearly poked into his eyes when Shera mentioned some portraits that wouldn't be too nice. "Had any unpleasant encounters?"

Shera tilted her head to the side as she evaluated Daehyun, before shaking her head slowly. "I think flying is just a useful wizarding skill. Besides, I told you if you have trouble I'll still help you with it! Once you learn how to do it you'll love it, I promise!"

There was no way he wouldn't like it in her opinion, so that wasn't a promise she couldn't keep as far as she was aware.

"I guess that's why my parents keep owls... they also let me get a kitty for Hogwarts," she almost cooed at the thought of the kitten that was still waiting for her in her dorm. It was too cute. She followed up with another question directed at him, "Did you get any other pets for Hogwarts?"

Tawny owl. It took Shera a few moments to associate that with what she knew the bird to look like, but she smiled and nodded the moment that she did. "I'd like that! I might have met her already... I like going up to the owlery to give the owls treats and cuddle them if they like."

Shera couldn't help but giggle at the thought of little pixies that couldn't fly annoying his mother. "I bet they would. My mother would probably get rid of any before I knew they were there... or maybe she'd get the house elves to do it so she wouldn't have to." Thinking of which, would the house elves even tell her mother about it? They'd probably just get rid of anything that would potentially annoy them before anyone in her family knew they had been there.

She grinned sheepishly at Daehyun's comment about finding another place to sleep. "Weeelllll... I did fall asleep in front of the portrait while I was waiting." She was sure that the boy across from her was going to make fun of her for it, but then again she burned a lot of energy by being this energetic! It required a lot of food and a lot of sleep! After all... he had found her sleeping on the train as well...

"I think Elizabeth hates me," she commented, a frown crossing her face for a moment as she thought about it. For her to think a portrait hated her was a big step, considering she usually struggled to recognise any negative atmospheres. Shera shrugged lightly at the thought after a moment, it wasn't worth being upset over. "We disagreed on the importance of blood purity... she was fine until that."
