Gwen followed the older boy into the office. He was the one who had been in the stables earlier and had caused most of Gwen's questions. She eyed him nervously, not sure she wanted to ask all of her questions while he was here. Oh well. She stepped in, wiping her feet before she did.

Her questions. "I...um...I'm muggleborn, sir," the American girl began. "So I don't really have any experience with most of these animals, and I had a few questions if that's okay? It's just, you seemed like the best person to ask."

She wanted to smack her forehead. What a first impression to make. She wasn't always this awkward! Was that a goose? A regular goose, or did it do something magical too? Gwen mentally tucked that in the last position of all of the questions she had to ask.
