Tapio was impressed by this very grown-up speech from one of his young Hufflepuffs, and would be pleased to know that none of them were painting on the windows (because that annoyed the House Elves very much, not to mention the Board of Directors)

Especially the crup biscuits that had resembled sunflowers.

"Oh, these aren't snacks shaped like creatures, they're snacks for creatures, so they're not always good for people to eat. Isla is a magical naturalist, specializing in magical creatures, and we met while we were both working at the Göttingen Alchemical Institute in Germany. Our careers complement each other quite well. She's off on a magizoologist expedition right now, while I'm at Hogwarts. Now that our two sons are grown up (or so they think), we've been able to pursue some different kinds of work."

"Oh you are very magestic. Professor, is that a leopard anole? Are they your familiar? Do they want a cookie?"

"Yes, well spotted," said Tapio, turning his attention to the lizard. "That's Fred. He's not my familiar--or maybe he thinks he is, now. But I didn't bring him here with me, he appeared one day soon after I'd built this cabin office and has made himself right at home. I suppose you could try and see if he wants a bit of cookie, if you like." Tapio watched indulgently as Fred continued his progress toward the cookies. "Why don't you break a piece off of one and offer it to him?"
