Okay, if Kye had one wish right now it was for Professor Grimsbane to learn how to close a door without trying to break it into a billion pieces. Having gotten a bit more comfortable, this time Kye jumped a little bit higher than she had last time. She should have seen that slam coming, but she was a bit preoccupied with eating a marshmallow off the top of her cup. And what was tha…. Oh. Lovely. She had spilled hot chocolate on her front. Like, a little puddle had formed. With an agitated expression, she took her wand out and cleaned the spot.
“Scourgify,” she muttered grumpily. Luckily it wasn’t burn your tongue hot, or she may have let out an involuntary shout. Perhaps this would slip by relatively unnoticed? One could only hope. Feeling a bit as though she was owed this, she went and refilled her cup. She was going to enjoy this, darn it! She sipped some and placed the cup on her desk, so that she could take notes.
The difference between natural and conjured animals? Kind of like the mouse pet that she now owned from that one Charms lesson? Aww her little purple guy was up in her dorm right now, with Edie. “Well, real animals can breed…? Conjured ones probably don’t need to eat either… even though they can.”
Ethical problems involved when performing spells on animals? “Well, I mean, I don’t go around casting spells on humans… so typically, we treat animals the same way I’d hope. I’ve never understood how conjured animals, such as toy mice that come to life, develop thought though… Like, do they have a working brain? Or just as far as the spell limits?” Was she going to make them feel bad morally and then have them cast weird spells on these poor creatures?!
