That still didn’t explain why he wasn’t allowed in there, but she was almost resigned to the fact he was now. Except she still wanted to make sure the squirrel got to see the castle, which was why she’d taken him up to the courtyard. Besides, she knew Emmeline wouldn’t say anything anyway, so they wer all safe.

The squirrel in question, though, was much more intrigued by Emmeline right now, which made Stasya giggle a little. “He likes you,” she informed her. Dobby wouldn’t’ve gotten hat close if he didn’t, and she knew Emmeline knew how to act around creatures anyway. “Course you can,” she said, giggling again as Dobby had actually decided to jump off her hand and onto Emmeline’s to investigate further. Apparently Dobby was okay with it too. “Maybe when they’re a little older?” She figured Professor Wayland had his reasons for making sure they didn’t take their babies anywhere he didn’t want them to. Just like she had her reasons why she wanted Dobby to learn about his new home. “He’s awesome. Really fuzzy and cuddly still,” she added, smiling again. Aside from Albus’ habit of trying to lick her ear, it was fun.

Naturally, she wouldn't complain or even mention to anyone that she'd seen Dobby outside the barn. Not that she thought Stasya should get in trouble even if Professor Wayland did find out that he was missing, maybe the same way she had. It wasn't like she was keeping Dobby anywhere else or anything, though Emmeline felt bad that her friend couldn't have him in the dorm. She grinned at the thought of him getting on top of the four-posters and running around as high up as possible.

She beamed at Stasya when the other girl said that Dobby likes her, which he soon confirmed by jumping onto her hand. Making sure to keep that arm super still, so as not to scare him, she reached over and stroked the squirrel's back with her free hand. He was super fluffy and cute! "Curious little guy, isn't he?", she observed. She was so excited to be able to pet him! One of her temporary missions at Hogwarts was to pet every creature in the barn, and she had never gotten to pet a squirrel before. "He's super well trained, Stasya. You did really well,"she added with another big smile at her friend.

Albus definitely sounded awesome to Emmeline. She wished that he could play with her crup, Sirius, but the puppy was still chasing stuff right now and she didn't want him to scare Albus or anything. "Has Albus attacked your ear yet?"She made sure her tone was playful so that Stasya would know that she didn't mean actual attacking, but rather getting into her ears gently. Emmeline had grown up with Nanny's pygmy puffs and they did the same thing, naturally. In fact, sometimes it was hard to "fend them off" of her ear. "Nanny's pygmy puffs were crazy about ears, but they were sooo cuddly all the time. Especially if they actually got you," she made a face playfully as she talked about their ear habits. It was kind of gross but super cute, actually. And it was really funny when it was Nanny they were after, and she got to watch their antics."They used to sneak up on Nanny. They'd be on her shoulder all quiet and stuff, and then go for her ear out of nowhere!" So now Stasya knew that trick if Albus used it, yup.
