He cocked an eyebrow when she commented on Barty's name. "It started as Bartholomew Jackson the First," he said seriously. "I think I saved him by calling him Barty." But really, what had his sisters been thinking, naming the poor thing that? Dal had done the right thing in nicknaming the bird.
"Yeah," he said, his voice quieting a bit. "I've always wanted a dog, actually. A German Shepard." He had actually almost convinced his parents to get one, once. Until his sisters had stepped in and puppy-dog-eyed their dad to get what their way.
He had to physically stop himself from smiling when she said her pets and their names. Even Bartholomew Jackson was better than Frenchfry. He wasn't going to say that outloud, though. Instead he asked, "A crup, huh? My parents would freak if I got one of those." He smirked, imagining what would happen if he came home from DA with a crup. "Do you like it, though? Are they much different from normal dogs?"
He burst into laughter at her clarification of 'Gavin.' "That's a shame," he said, frowning. "Because I was just going to ask how I would go about getting a firstie as a pet." He calmed down enough to stop laughing, but he was still grinning. Then he looked at the prefect and added, "I'm totally joking, of course." Just in case she didn't get that.
"A falcon, though, huh? That's really cool." Cooler than an owl, at least. "Does it send letters like owls, or is it just for show?"
Chuckling, she agreed. "Way too many stairs." Just thinking about it made want to rub her calves.
"Bartholomew Jackson the First." Her eyebrow came up a bit at this. " Well that's a mouthful." With a giggle, she nodded. "I think you did save him. Poor Barty. If not, the other owls would surely have made fun of him."
Running her hands through her hair to pull it away from her neck and fan it over the sofa a weird habit she had sometimes when she was relaxed, she gave him an approving thumbs up. "Well if you were ever to get a dog, that's a great choice." They were very intelligent looking dogs. "Those are the awesome dogs law enforcement muggles use right?"
Giving him a suspicious look when it seemed he was fighting a smile at her cruppies name, she poked him with one slim finger. Right on the ribs. "Hey, I didn't name him, the twins did when well, they were going through a I'm only eating french fries phase." That last quote was given in her best imitation of her little brothers who currently had the high squeaky pitched voices of Huey, Dewy, and Louie from the muggle cartoons.
Giggling a bit at her impression, she continued."Not much different." In reference to his question on crups. "Except for the fact that he used to bark like mad if any muggle approached." Shrugging her shoulders, she continued. "But my grandparents come over all the time so he eventually got a little calmer."
Grinning widely at his comment, Ivory couldn't hold it in. Laughing genuinely, she looked around just be sure said person wasn't lurking around. "I'm sure it would involve many odd circumstances." At that she covered her mouth sheepishly still shaking in laughter as she tried to answer his question. "Yup just like a regular owl, sends letters and whatnot-" But she couldn't hold it in. Her entire sentence was punctuated with giggles. "We should," Giggle." Go up to the owlery one day," Chuckle. "So our two looney birds can meet."
