There was a brief flair of jealousy in Jenny as she realized that Ella had kept it from her until now, that she had gone to Apple instead, but she quickly pushed that aside. Her own feelings were irrelevant if what Ella was saying was true, and Jenny believed that it was. Just like what she told her about the fit, Jenny had no reason to doubt the truth behind it. Ella had never lied to her before, and she doubted that she had chosen today to start.

"Okay," Jenny began slowly, biting her lip a little, looking concentrated; as if trying to carefully choose her words. "You haven't found anything, then? It doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of. And your book definitely has more information than mine, so if you can't find it in there, then.. I don't know what we're dealing with. What the school is dealing with, I should say."

Jenny was silent for another moment, before continuing. "Is Apple sure that he didn't see a Thestral?" she asked. She wasn't sure if Apple had ever seen someone die, she had never asked, but if he had.. well, at least it could explain some of this away. Spotting a Thestral was less scary than something unidentified.

Mostly, she was glad just to discuss this, and not the topic of her own experience. Jenny's mind was still reeling from that, seeming to repeat Ella's suspicions; possession.

Ella shook her head. "Apple said it wasn't Thestrally enough. He's never seen anyone die. We thought it might have been a hybrid or two creatures because why wouldn't it be in the book?"

Jenny bit her lip again, nodding some as she listened. If that was ruled out, then it just made things all the more complicated. "Magical creatures are.. different from regular animals, granted, but I still don't think that crossing a species like that is easy, you know? Like, I don't think we have a chance in hell that any of this is naturally occurring," the blonde muttered.

"Which means, like.. obviously, somebody is doing this. If it's a hybrid, how did it happen without someone behind it?"

Which also meant it could, theoretically, be anyone. It could be a teacher, a staff member, a student, or even someone else entirely. It made Jenny shiver. "I don't know, El.. this is like, bad.. really bad."

"Seriously. It's totally full on, I don't know what to do." Every time Ella told someone about her suspicions she felt a little better,and as bad as it sounded, it made her and Jenny alike again that she had also experienced something.

"Me either," Jenny admitted, so much as she hated to. Things were always much more difficult when she couldn't use textbooks or knowledge to get to the bottom of their problems. How did one figure out what to do when things like possession and cloaks with teeth fell onto the table. Not to mention the missing students. She was pretty sure one of the missing boys had been in her advanced divination course. She felt suddenly bad for never having spoken to him. "Mysteries are not as fun as Scooby Doo made them seem," she muttered, managing a weak smile and lifting her head from Ella's shoulder finally.
