Adam gave a little nod of agreement to Louisa's statement..."I suppose they live peaceful lives though since most people don't want to approach them...or can't see them to approach them."

Adam gave the mother an encouraging smile, but she stayed where she was, eyeing them in that way of hers. "The mother has moved closer," Adam said to Louisa so she would understand why he kept smiling like that. "She doesn't seem to want us to touch her though...she's just...curious?" Adam proposed. Surely the creature was allowed to be curious about the strange people that were petting her children, right? Even if they had brought food with them...maternal instinct he supposed.

When Louisa mentioned the House Elves closing the kitchen Adam turned to look at her. "Oh...do we know why they closed it?" Adam asked. For some reason his first thought went to revolt or strike, and that was probably because he had been reading about giving House Elves rights in this Magical Creatures book he was reading. "Are they revolting or something?" Adam hoped not, mainly because if they did revolt how would they get food, and also because revolts and strikes could sometimes turn ugly.

Adam chuckled slightly..."Well if there's a place that's completely filled with happy people that have never seen death or anything miserable, I think that might be where I'd like to go!" Of course being surrounded by people who were only ever happy had its downsides too...after all sometimes you just needed to get angry and needed to feel something other than happy. "Although it's good to have a bit of a balance of all the emotions..."

Adam was slightly surprised that Louisa had been agreeing strongly with his idea. "They probably are really expensive," Adam said with a little nod of the head. "Although maybe you could borrow them or rent them...you know, like books?" It seemed like a plausible thing, right? Surely not everyone wanted to spend the money to buy their own, so surely someone had thought of a pensieve renting location or something...right? As to the extracting the memory thing Adam furrowed his brows slightly. "I'm not exactly sure, but I'm positive there must be a book on it in the library, right?"


Louisa chuckled bitterly, "Yeah...I'd rather live invisible. You know, let specific people see me only." That was... sad. She shrugged and continued, "I guess I'm being too dramatic these few days. Sorry." She gave an apologetic smile.

As the mother moved closer, like Adam had explained, Louisa's smile widened and she looked at the empty space where Adam was staring. "She's probably worried about her children." Unlike Louisa's mother.. or Adam's. "Who knew deathly creatures could have stronger feelings that humans." Her tone was bitter, again.

Back to the happy place thing, she smiled sadly at him. "I know. We all would've lived there." Balanced emotions were not the thing she wanted at the moment, though. She'd rather go in a happy place than figuring out her own complicated emotions. "Maybe you're right. At least we can dream about it." As desperate as that sounded it was true.

Louisa shook her head, "I don't know anything about Pensieves. We study that in fifth year, I guess. I've never read a book about them, either." She stretched a hand, blindly, trying to feel any of the Thestrals. "I suppose it can be rented. If it's expensive and not many people could afford it, there must be another way of getting one." Which was renting. "And I think memory charms are in seventhh year schoolbooks. We should check it out."

Louisa finally sensed something and she kept her hand there until the Thestral went still, she started patting it. "I don't know about the house elves, though. And I don't know how students were prevented from getting any closer. Do you want to go and check it out after we feed those?" That'd be cool with her.
