“The rain isn’t that bad, but the creatures are definitely restless out there,” she had informed the professor after the greeting. Especially the ones who weren’t easily allowed out during the morning, rain or no. Stasya figured that Professor Grimsbane knew she’d already been out there once. The comment to Patrick had kept her from attempting to eat her scones. They’d just have to wait until after the lesson was over and she’d just have to make do with her cocoa until then. That and she was still curious about the hidden creatures in the cages. The scratching sounded like maybe rats or mice, rodents of some kind. She just hoped they weren’t squirrels.

“Conjured animals are real, but they can’t breed or do a lot of the other activities that natural born animals can do,” she answered, raising her hand as the lesson began. She remembered the debate back when they’d transfigured the betta fish before. And also… “The main ethical problem with performing spells on animals it the idea that the spells might hurt them.” She was assuming they weren’t talking about conjuring creatures, but casting on real ones. Not that she was entirely okay with either one. “It’s kind of like casting on other people. Not dueling, since obviously then the person knows a spell is coming toward them. But if we’re not okay with casting spells that might hurt a person, why is it okay to cast them on animals that aren’t able to agree to it?” It all depended on the spell though. Some spells didn’t hurt, like color changing charms and stuff.
