There was one dude who stared, and the Mexicana stared back with a mouthing 'what!?'. Psshhh, like he'd never seen freaked out people before? She gave him the stink eye with a raised eyebrow, and finally the old fart walked off.

Yeah, he'd better walk. Hehe.



Maya cringed for the awaited screaming that girl looked like she was about to do, but relaxed when she instead stood by the railing. "Careful now, don't lean over it..." Honestly Maya had no idea what she was going to do, but...it felt comforting to communicate with the kids when they were this excited. Heh.



Okay, now Maya cringed. She had not expected that. And neither did the few muggles around, though it was funny to see their reaction. "It's there to show us how she looked!" She nodded. Or maybe it was a he? "It will not hurt you, Miss Soler. See?" Unless it came alive and devoured the railing.



She watched Arya examining the dinosaur, "Actually, I think this example is alot smaller than an adult size T. Rex." Where had she read that, again? "So...this might be like a teenager, perhaps. Good eye there, Miss Lovegoods."



Her head turned to see the Gryffindor Prefect nearby. Good, prefects would help out if needed, hehe. And now to her question, "Uhm, I think they copied the bones of a T. Rex...and then constructed the outer...shell of it. " Like flesh and stuff. Eh. "And then mounted it onto a mechanism, with electronics and wires. So yes, there probably is alot of steel in that thing." It's like a Dinosaur Terminator. Heh.



More screams. Heh. "Oh!" And something bumping into her? Or was that someone else? "As Miss Collonny asked, this example is moving because it is being told to move. See, there's a mechanism inside, and someone has probably programmed it to move like that." Did that make sense?



Okay, that stillness was making Maya nervous.
"Miss Browne, are you allright?" She was hoping the girl would atleast be blinking.



Something behind her spoke, and it wasn't the Groundskeeper...so someone was behind him? Hehe. "No. It's still there." Hehehe. Maya looked at Chad and wondered what he'd say.



"Yes, just like that. Keep breathing." Don't stop. Heh. "Well, we've been standing here for a few minutes now, and it hasn't bitten off a piece of the railing yet. So...I think we're safe." Yes. Exellent.



The young girl's words made the Mexicana smile, though the promise of more field trips was possible, she wasn't sure if she'd be allowed to. "I sure hope so. I'll try and see where else we can go." Totally.



She noticed the young girl, probably one of the more calmer ones at this moment. Or perhaps it was just the shock? Heh. Oh dear, was that girl shocked? "Miss Price, are you allright?"



Initial scare, gone. Good. She slowly took back her hand, hoping she hadn't squashed his arm. But, considering what she now knes, she thought no. "Ah, too bad." She chuckled, stared at the dinosaur as she drank more of her delicious coffeechocolatedream. "Imagine having one of these walking around on the grounds... taking a nap in the stables." Hehehe.



Eh, whatnow? "Little brains?" Did they have little brains? "Researchers say they did. But they had a quite developed one since their sense of smell was pretty extensive. They might even have had the biggest brain of the entire dinosaur population." Just sayin'.

Unlike most of the people here, she had been raised as a Muggle, so she had been to museums like this before. She'd seen other models of dinosaurs such as this - although, one had to admit, no moving ones.

She pulled out her new, shiny notebook and turned to the first blank page. She looked up at the dinosaur, and began to take some notes in her neat cursive handwriting about its physical appearance and size. She couldn't believe this was only a child-sized T-Rex. A full grown one must be huge!

She smiled across at the other girl and extended a hand. 'Hallo,' she said politely. 'I'm Maddie,' she added with another smile. 'So, this is interesting, isn't it? It certainly beats sitting in the school grounds,' she said, laughing.
