"I suppose muggles just do as they please, 'cept that one writer chappy who found the photo of fairies, he was adamant magic was real. Wrote some pretty good stuff as well."

Andy stared in wonderment as her friend looked mournfully at a forkful of egg, "Just eat it, you'll have more tomorrow no doubt and we have class in 10 minutes."

"I take it you've drawn up a list and weighed the pros and cons of each mystical animal and decided that unicorns are best? Or is it just a childhood love you're clinging too?"

"Good point," Glenda said, brightening instantly. She finished off the last bite with relish--not to be confused with the actual relish she had added to her eggs halfway through eating them.

She grinned at Andy's query.

"Well, it was about half and half. My mum drew a picture of a unicorn on my nursery wall, so I guess that stuck, but also, unicorns surpass dragons by a hair, mostly because I'm not a fan of being accidentally burned to death."

She toyed with her fork for a second, in deep thought.

"Or maybe not-so-accidentally. Dragons are rather nasty."

Abandoning the fork, she got up off the bench, scrounged up her bookbag from under the table, and gestured at Andy with a grand flourish.

"Shall we, mademoiselle? Herbology awaits with bated breath."

"Dragons are dangerous, but luckily we should never need to cross one. Unless, no, I gave up care of magical creatures." Andy picked up her bag and moved off with Glenda into the crowd.

"Thrilling, plants. Just what I love." She said sarcastically, "More my sisters forte."

"Oh, did you hear about Flitwick's sleepwalking again? He got into greenhouse 1 somehow the other night."

"I still say it's a shame that you did that. We've now got a pool running on which limb Kettleburn's going to lose next. I've got a sickle down on his left foot, and since he's missing two fingers on his left hand, the odds are promising."

She dodged around a first-year, yelping slightly as her heavily-loaded bookbag veered her more sharply off-course than she was comfortable with. However, as she was rather used to this particular effect of gravity, she soon righted herself.

"Really? Your sister? Which? Actually, it must be Narcissa--I can't imagine that Bellatrix has anything to do with plants other than using them for poisons."

"No!" Glenda said, with all the outraged joy of one who has found a prime tidbit of gossip. "Really? How'd they find him? Did he wake up the Mandrakes?"

"I'm fond of my limbs. I think Kettleburn uses his left side to protect his right. You could be onto something."

Andy grabbed at Glenda in case but the girl had righted herself. "Maniacs the lot of them. Yes, Cissa, I saw her over Christmas tending to the most bedraggled thing you've ever seen. It's not seen light in years, Auntie hates plants, and animals and elves and everything. Merlin, I make Cissa sound like she's having an illicit affair with a plant."

"I didn't hear much more, but Sprout turned him round and sent him on his way. I think one of the 7th years doing their project saw the whole thing."
