As she carried a pail full of water in one hand, she continued to mindless chat away to Ana and Boom, loving their reactions and ‘chat’ as Adi used to call it. She smiled the whole time she moved around the different sections of the barn and filled various troughs, buckets and bottles with water for all of the different animals. She was quiet, meticulous and entirely focused on the job at hand.

Although she knew Professor Draper would be up, she didn’t expect to see him here, in the barn right now. So she kept her head down as she moved concentrating on keeping her noise levels down so that the creatures who weren’t up yet could continue to sleep or at least be woken up by soft, gentle, caring noises rather than a bull raging through a china shop. When she finally filled the last water bucket for the winged horses, receiving a gently nudge from the nose of Apollo who was always up early enough to see her. Silently, she thought it was just because he had learnt that she usually had apple quarters in her pocket a small, bag in the back of her running jacket. Running her hand carefully over his soft nose, she pulled one out into her hand, holding it out of him to take.

Smiling, she turned away from Apollo to move in the direction of the various feed buckets only to see the Professor leaning against the door, her journal against his side. He looked so comfortable… she had no idea how long he had been there. ”Morning, Professor.” She said softly as she moved closer to him so that they wouldn’t need to talk loudly. Creatures were still sleeping after all. Boom waved from his perch in Marsha’s hair while Ana simply looked at him, silent in her curiosity.

To say she was amusing to watch would be an understatement. The fourth year was just as bubbly and bouncy as she was upon their first interaction early last term. If he had to make a bet, he'd put galleons on the fact that this was just her default setting. No one could muster up this much gusto on the spot. It had to be something inherent.

In fact, she was so immersed in what she was doing that it took her longer than he expected to turn and notice his presence. So long that by now there must've been a permanent little dip in the wooden door from where James weight stayed pressing against it. Finally when she turned to see him, he nodded slowly acknowledging her greeting and returning it with one of his own, "Miss Hanover," he gave the faeries a small grin, watching how easily they stood with the girl. Their loyalty wasn't often easily won either.

"Good day for a run, how was it?" Call it intuition. And the fact that she was still sporting her jogging garb. Had she won medals over the summer? He vaguely remembered that she had rambled on about that once. Not that James pretended he remembered all the details, but he did remember that the two things this one was passionate about included creatures and running. See, he payed attention. Only of course he liked pretending that he didn't care because it often pushed students to excel in order to deem them with deserved acknowledgement. It was a careful game James played. One that wasn't always appreciated by the masses, but one he was well versed in by now.

Praise was earned. Not freely handed out.
