At her question however, he took a deep breath as he continued to try and find the right words.

"Well I havent made it known...oddly enough even to ye, that I've been studying to work on becoming an animagus," Gideon started out, feeling somewhat sheepish for never coming to the woman before now...it was her subject after all. Oh well, too late for regrets of that sort now. " Both on my own at school and with my parents when I'm home. They are both animangi themselves. " he explained further. "This summer I even began more of the actual physical changes being of age though it has not been without challenges of course." There was a reason why it was a somewhat less common ability and why it took so much effort to learn after all. And Gideon was well aware of that.

"Though at the moment I seem to be having more then the expected problems...and I'm wondering..if I'm doing anything wrong? Or still adjusting to my new wand which is effecting my efforts? Or something else entirely and I figured it might be best to see ye for any assistance ye might be able to give." There...that was it in a nutshell.

Isabelle relaxed into her seat and waited for Gideon to answer her question. He seemed a little nervous about whatever it was though, causing Issy to narrow her eyes a little and cock her head to the side. It wasn't long before she raised her eyebrows quite high, though, as the word 'Animagus' was said - along with the fact he'd been training to become one. She was a little surprised he'd not mentioned it before, not so much because he hadn't asked for her help, he certainly didn't have to, but just in passing for advice. But he seemed to be doing that now.

Licking her lips ready to speak, Issy shifted position and sat up straighter. "Well, for one thing, I'm glad you haven't tried to do this all on your own, but have experienced parents that can help," she smiled. Doing it on your own was the worst thing you could do, so much that could go wrong. So he was being very sensible. "As you say it is a very complicated process, so problems along the way are inevitable. A new wand certainly wouldn't help if you were used to using a different one at the beginning. If you could tell me exactly what sort of problems you're having, it might help me pinpoint a solution?"

And this could take a while. Getting to the bottom of it. "Would you like a drink, Mister Gert?"
