 Albus! ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Then there was a huge commotion in the form of the jarveys. Claudine turned her head to observe it all. Merlin, those creatures were entertaining. And was that one saying a bad word but was interrupted? Goodness. She was shaking her head in amusement by the time the entire show was done. Fun creatures those were. And no. This wasn’t her being sarcastic.
Thankfully, she was allowed to stay. She just needed to make sure she didn’t sneeze, cough or sniffle again. Claudine sat there, dividing her attention among the professor, the students and the jarveys. Snot trickled out of her nose but she was discreet in swatting a piece of tissue across her face. Nothing to see here.
Naturally they’d be getting up close and personal with the Jarveys. Claudine could feel excitement buzzing within her. Poor Professor Winston though; he wasn’t having the best of time, was he? Plus he was fretting like a scratchy old man. At the invitation to work with Albus, the Snakette jumped to seize the opportunity. Despite her eagerness, she calmly put the umbrella away, pulled on her gloves then headed over to Winston. “I’ll take him off of your hands, Professor Winston.’’ Did he see her holding out her hands for the jarvey.
“Hi, er… Ali.’’ Yes, Claudine had already forgotten his name. But she was confident they would get along well and that she would be able to look after him. After all, she did take great care of those Hippogriffs. Minus a hiccup or two. "Professor? They can't contract colds from humans, can they?'' |
