Did he like being an only child? So many questions to ask the older boy.

Okay, good. The older Ravenclaw didn't seem upset that he had corrected him. Older people didn't always like that. He lifted his shoulders in a shrug. "Not many people care about how many species of frog there is." He just liked to read. About lots of things but mostly creatures. Huh?! He didn't want a frog or a toad. "Just for fun. Catch them and let them go. Haven't you ever done that before?"

As for this next bit of information on ducks and their uh... pooping habits, Lukas couldn't stop himself from laughing. Hearing someone else know this and say it out loud was just... funny. No idea why but it was. It was only after he got his laughter under control that he was able to reply. "I've been around lots of creatures already. I'm ready to see what we'll learn about this year." Maybe he would learn something that even his dad and sister didn't know! Now that would be something!
”Nope, it’s always been just me but you know, I can’t say I’ve ever really minded” Well, that was just a lie because there were times when he’d longed for a sibling but he’d come to terms with that a while ago. Now, he was just happy to have the family he had, whether that be the friends he made or his little family out in Canada.

If he was being honest, he found it interesting but he could understand why most people didn’t. There were a lot of frogs out there that were pretty boring. ”Sure but they haven’t seen some of the amazing poisonous frogs with their bright coloured skin”. They really could be some of the coolest amphibians out there. ”Not really. I try to leave them in their natural environment as much as I can. I don’t like taking them out for the sake of it, you know?” It would be a little different if he had to actually conduct research on them or if he was trying to save it but they belonged in the wild.

Ewan did grin and laugh a little himself now, amused that the young’un seemed to find his little duck fact so amused. Let it not be said that he didn’t do his part trying to make the first years fell comfortable in Ravenclaw. He just wished some of the others would be this easy going. ”Well, I’m sure you’ll love this year” he replied finally, because even he wasn’t sure what they’d be looking at this year.
