Taking a stern breath, Mathys cast his gaze upon the young Hufflepuff and resisted the urge to tsk him for the thought. "Successfully retrieve ze tarantula and zat subject may be discussed. Not before." He had not yet decided whether it would be possible to do so, given this particular young man's attitude. A discussion with the boy's father would help ease him into that decision.

"See zat you do. And let us hope zat no one who is an arachnophobe," he continued, uttering that last word with disdain. "Has seen fit to destroy your pet." He turned towards the bulletin board and took down the poster. "When you have found your tarantula, bring her to me at my cabin. I will be showing zis to Professor Fuller-Thompson and have a chat with him soon."

OOC: somewhere in the school forums a has been edited in to a post. You two must find the post and quote it to have successfully found "Betsy". Successfully capture "Betsy" in the thread (enjoy some RP shenanigans with one another!) in question and then deliver her to Professor de Nostredame as instructed.
