Taking the little darling for Missa, he grabbed the leash tight and walked the trouble maker over to Professor Williamson with a smile. ”Here you are Professor. One tired, troublesome, tricky cat” and good riddance.

He wasn’t really bitter towards the cat. In fact, he’d rather enjoyed the lesson today and learning more about Rufus and Wampus’. It had, if anything, solidified his goal to work with magical creatures or animals in some respects.

”Hey Professor, what did you do before you were a teacher?” he asked before quickly realising that the question could possibly come off as rude. ”I mean, did you go to university or go and work somewhere else with animals?”. He’d always done his learning through books and lessons at school but working on the farm back home now, it changed his perspective. Being more involved made him want to get out and travel. Maybe even see some animals out in the wild.
Yes, Rufus was definitely tricky. Williamson smiled as he put the wampus cat back in its crate and secured the door with magic, turning around to find one of the prefects still there.

Oh! A question, for him, about his varied life experiences. "Well," he started, crossing his arms as he tried to recall the far far away past. "My friends and I took a trip 'round the world first, right after graduation, so we all deferred our uni acceptances." Who could forget that trip, when he'd been bitten by a Mackled Malaclaw AND struck by lightning in the same week? Good times. "And then I studied Crypto-Magizoology and Communications at the Edinburgh campus, and THEN I finally got to start working with the real love of my life." He paused for dramatic effect, one dragonhide glove touching his heart, as he breathed, "draaaaaagons. I worked in Romania on that reserve, and then I worked here at Hogwarts and raised a dragon, then I went back to Romania WITH my baby dragon, and then I worked at the Ministry, trying to protect MORE dragons, and then---" Oh, he supposed he had answered the boy's question by now.

"Anyway, I hope that helped you some? If you want to talk more, come by the barn after class." He gave Ewan an absentminded smile and went off to find Fiona to get her in the crate too.

Maybe Fiona wasn’t such a bad kitty after all! He still wasn’t going to let his guard down around her just yet, though. He made it back, but before he could warn Flora not to look the wampus in the eye -

Yay, my hooman is back, and what’s this? He brought the big kitteh with him. Hiiiiii, big kitteh! Want to be friends? Rey looked up, her big blue eyes meeting the other cat's yellow ones. Okay, big kitteh. I play dead. Then can we be friends?

MEEEEEEEEEP! Rey fell off the bale just like the big kitteh said, landing in a crumpled heap at the girl hooman's feet. Oww! You squished me, hooman!


"Rey!" Heath cried, kneeling beside the tiny gray cat, all thought of the obstacle course forgotten. In his panicked state, he almost let go of Fiona's leash, but fortunately he remembered her just in time. While one hand clutched the leash in a vise grip, the other gently touched Rey's face. "No, please don't be dead…" You're the only friend I have here...
William had been watching where Fiona went after she left him and Carwyn, as he was VERY sure Flora would try to do something like lick the wampus or make Catastophe an offering to her. But it was Heath's kitten, Rey, who actually had him worried.... IF he hadn't seen the wampus make eye contact with the kitten right before she fell off the bale, that was.

"It's alright," he came jogging over to console Heath. "I think Fiona's just working her magic again." He grabbed the wampus' leash to drag her back to her cage crate. "Sorry, kid, just give Rey a good snuggle and she'll be alright." He was sure he hadn't seen anything else happen to the kitten, and anyway, they were about out of time.

She frowned, apologetically, shutting her eyes and opening them again. "It's a mongolian gerbil. I adopted it at a pet fair like a year and a half ago." No use in lying to a creatures professor of all people. She was also going to ignore the bit about Headmaster's approval because there were more pressing matters.

"I'm ... sorry, professor." Because literally what else could she say? She was barely into the term and already she was going to be a disappointment to the new creatures professor. "I can, make it up some time ...maybe? please?"
A mongolian gerbil?! From a pet fair?! "I bet it wasn't a Hogwarts pet fair," Williamson murmured, still tempted to pet the shivering little fella.

He sighed at her apology. But yes, she COULD make it up to him, while he thought over if she should be allowed to keep the gerbil with her or not. "Fine. See me after class, in the barns, with your classmates." Yeah, the poop shoveling committee. He'd have to remind those other few too.

"Hey, that's all the time we have today," Williamson called out to the rest of the students. "Gather your things, and for homework, I want a reflection on how you thought today went. ARE cats trainable? SHOULD exotic animals, especially big cats like the wampus, be kept in captivity? It's a hot debate, so I want at least eight inches of parchment on it." He'd ignore the groans. "Class dismissed, except those I asked to see. Take your cats with you but leave the kneazles." He'd round them up with a can of salmon later.
