Taking a deep breath, Seren composed herself. No... she was not a child, she was a professor, and thus had to behave like one.
This was easier said that done.
"A scarf's not necessary right now, though when handling them it's a good precautionary measure. I highly recommend a dragon scale snood... they're practical and fashionable." Or at least she thought so.
Her special surprise... oh yes indeed.
"West... how do you feel about Snargaluffs?" Or was that too scary for first years?
A snooooooood? Weren't those what ladies used to wear in their hair in medieval times? West tipped his head to one side but simply nodded. He would look in a book and be sure about it. He didn't want to wear a lady's head thing.
His eyes got all big and bright. "Snargaluffs!?"
Unable to avoid it, he clapped his hands together, though he did manage to keep it relatively subdued considering he didn't want to startle any plants that ought not be startled.
"Will we get to harvest some of their pods? I've read about Snargaluffs. They helped fight the Battle of Hogwarts, you know? Or at least, the pods. That's pretty cool. Like I don't think all that many people know that, or maybe they wouldn't be so worried about them. Are you TEASING me, Professor? Will you really show me some, for real?"
He would have SO MUCH to write in his next letter to his dad!
