Probably...but she had forgotten if she had known. "I'm sure she misses you loads while you're here at Hogwarts. It is really kind of her to lend you to us."
Tapio enjoyed Anna's constant chatter, though he did find it a bit hard to keep up with her at times. And...what was this--a gift? For him? It looked like some sort of equipment for making colored bubbles, or something. He'd have to try it out the next fine day. But "Oh, Miss Walles, I hadn't expected any gifts in return, those candy flowers I left in the Common Room were my gift to you all in return for all your hard work last term. But, thank you--this looks like it will be fun!"

Tapio sat at his desk and fiddled with the tea things a bit, to make sure everything was there. "What--the cookies? Oh, it wasn't Isla--my wife--who made them. She's not much of a baker, unless it's making creature snacks--that's what she does, you know. No, she probably got these as a gift or bought them in a market, but it's nice to know she's thinking of me, all the same. I do enjoy baking for her when our family is together at home, though."

As Tapio was speaking, a small green lizard slowly crept out from behind a vase on the edge of the desk and carefully made its way over to where the cookies were laid out.
