Lukas found lots of things interesting. Which was why he liked to read. There was so many things to learn so why not take advantage of that? "Poison dart frogs!" He grinned at the older Prefect. "I like the blue ones." Blue was a good color. Even for a frog. For anything really. "I guess," he nodded. He knew what could happen when a creature was taken away from it's natural habitat but in his defense he wasn't going to take it anywhere. Just capture it, look it over and let it go.
Okay, good. He wasn't going to look like a complete weirdo for laughing alone. The little firstie laid back in the grass, folding his hands beneath his head. Now this was a lot more comfortable. "As long as nothing insane happens." He would be very happy to learn in a nice calm atmosphere.
Ewan just shrugged and smiled. It was all he knew so he didn’t really have anything to compare it to. Besides, his family life growing up wasn’t exactly uhh…normal?
”It was okay. I mean, it’s all I ever knew so I can’t miss something I never had?”. If he ever had kids though, he was sure that he wanted more than one. He didn’t want them to be alone if something ever happened to him.
Ewan grinned back at the little claw, happy that he seemed so happy? Had a real thirst for knowledge. He sure did find the right house this one.
”Exactly! Poisonous and just so tempting. Like if you eat frogs, why would you not want to try and munch on that and the BOOM! You’re dead from poison”. The kid got it. He was smart.
Ewan just gave a small smile and nod at the boys’ reaction to the whole capturing the frog thing. He wasn’t trying to tell the kid he was wrong, just simply trying to make him appreciate that creatures belonged in the wild. He was smart. He’d figure that out.
As for nothing wild happening, Ewan didn’t say a word. He simply copied the boy and laid back with his arms folded behind his head. He’d figure out soon enough that wild things happened at Hogwarts. You just had to deal with them as best you could.
