I rescued him from the reserve when he was just a baby." she said, smiling happily at the memory.
"I don't believe I got your name, dear. What is it?" she asked.
Jake grinned at the Professor; this was going better than it could have turned out with
some professors...
Hold the phone...
sniff... sniffsniff... Was that... sugar?! Jake inched forwards as he was offered a marvelous delight of wonders and joy... or as others may put it... a cookie. He sensed the sugar begin to take effect after so as little as the first nibble.
"Wow, a Snidget," Jake spoke up, feeling alot more comfortable.
"I only saw one of those in my quidditch books... I wasn't impressed with the sport they had with them, but that was a long time ago, right? So, yeah, wow..."
Jake cradled Lolcat in the one hand as he finished the cookie, well aware he shouldn't eat another for... oh, say 3 years?
"My name?" Jake asked, distracted by the Snidget. He finally tore his eyes away from it-was it's name... Vincent?-and looked to the professor. Then the words made more sense.
"Oh, my name. I'm Jacob Upstead, or most people call me Jake, and I'm a first year Hufflepuff." He didn't know why he added the last part, but it was probably something to do with the sugar giving him a kick-start.
"Thank you for the cookie," Jake grinned again.
