There true honest in the answer she did receive made her laugh softly. "It's perfectly alright, don't be sorry for being honest. Lessons and homework can be a bit much at times.. i remember how it was back when I was a student here. There's times where it can feel never-ending. So if you start to feel overwhelmed don't be afraid to talk with one of us professors or a fellow student." Her door was always open to anyone that needed to talk with her, whether it be about lessons or anything else.
"That day will come much faster than you expect but there's always going to be that sense of wonder behind all things magical. At least.. that's how it is for me." There was plenty of different forms of magic and they each held a special sense of awe even now for her after all these years. Hady smiled softly in understanding. "That's alright, maybe another time when you're ready to. Crups are a magical breed of dog, Beans was born with his tail that way as are all crups. Normally their tail is cropped a bit when they are very young to make them more undetectable around none magic folk."
It wasn't nice to stare, or so she'd been taught, but Nora couldn't take her eyes off the crup. It was one thing to read about magical creatures in textbooks, but to see one in person? That was a different story altogether! She managed to pull her gaze away to look toward the professor, who was offering help if she ever got overwhelmed. Too late. The overwhelming had already happened way back when that owl came swooping into the family living room and nearly sent her running for the hills.
"Thank you," she said anyway, because she knew that moment with the owl wouldn't be the last time the magical world took her by surprise.
"I think I just miss home," she admitted.
"Everybody else seems to have someone in their life who's also a part of the magical world. I feel like I've been taken away to a completely different planet or something." As much as she and her older brother displayed a healthy dose of sibling rivalry, she'd have given almost anything to have him here with her. She cleared her throat in a somewhat nervous type of way and knelt down beside the crup. Slowly, as if she'd turned into a sloth, she reached a hand out toward Beans.
"Hi, Beans," she half-whispered.
Please don't eat my hand.
