There was a cruppy on the table. Not only was she on the table but she was eating Williamson's lunch. Bread in her mouth, head tossing and turning back and forth. Clearly the crup didn't care at all about being shouted at. It sorta reminded her of her niece and nephew.
Lia was trying SUPER hard not to laugh. Honestly she was but what she was seeing was HILARIOUS, even if it wasn't very good behavior on the crups part. Every now and then she had to giggle, it was difficult not to. When the crup now known as April barked and ran around still eating the jelly sandwich, the first year tried to turn away to keep her giggles under control. "Thank you," she nodded, sitting down in the chair he had indicated to her. "I'll do my best not to. We have a crup at home... he gets into trouble sometimes too. Is she still really young?" Maybe she was a cruppie and needed lots more training? Dahlia was positive that Williamson would have her trained in no time at all. "Or maybe she's bored? I can come by when I'm not busy with lessons and stuff and play with her, if you like." It would give her something to look forward to and help April burn off lots of energy too! He grunted to Dahlia as he worked on a sandwich for her, slathering peanut butter on BOTH sides of the bread, as one does, and putting a big glob of jelly in the middle. It would probably immediately squirt out the sides of the sandwich when she went to eat it, but, well, Williamson liked messy sandwiches.
"She is very young," he agreed, "and very bored in here. There's not really any other dogs here at Hogwarts, y'know? Trent is--- er, was, against messy pets and the new guy------"
Well, he let that sentence just fall as flat as his old face now looked. Weary, that was a good word to describe Williamson's expression. He sighed and slid Dahlia's sandwich to her across the table. "I actually think that would be great for her," he agreed. "I was planning on setting up a little fenced-in area for her behind my hut, so you're welcome to let yourself into that anytime." Seriously, the crup would LOVE it.

He noticed little Kinsay James about to do the same rubbing-mud-in-the-eye motion as he'd just done, and nearly reached out to stop her, but... it was too late.
Then, because their few handfuls wasn't nearly enough to cover the entire coffin, William dug his wand out of his back pocket and waved it at the dirt, creating a proper heap of earth with a soft thud.
"This concludes the funeral of Mollywobbles," he sighed, awfully formal of him, and turned to head back to his hut. Er, only the Flamsteeds stopped him. "Sure, kid," he nodded to Atlas, and to June, he supposd. "Come on in."
Williamson led the way to the back door of the hut, tugging it open with a strong yank, and beckoning them both inside.
