Nothing was better than that. They were a pair and if they had been separated by the sorting hat, well he didn't know what he would've done.

Following his fellow Ravenclaw's gaze near the lake he spotted a frog just sitting there. Well, hello there little frog! Luka swung his blue-gray eyes back onto the other guy a smile forming on his lips. "Actually it's closer to around 6,300 recorded species but who's counting." He laughed. Reading was something he did a lot. And if he couldn't find it in a book or went to his older sister. "Do the frogs let you catch them around here?" Curious question.

"Ducks are cool. I like most creatures though. Hippogriffs, nifflers, kneazles, crups." He had his family genes to thank for that one. The kid had practically been raised around all types of creatures both muggle and magical his entire life.
It made Ewan happy that the boy was having a good time at Hogwarts. He knew his first year had a lot of ups and downs so to see someone else just fitting in well, it was nice. ”Aha siblings always help. Not that I would know” Laughing a little now. Sure, he had friends who seemed like family (a particular red head came to mind at once) but in the biological sense, he’d never had a brother or sister.

6,300? Huh. Maybe he’d simply read the muggle number and there were more if you included wizarding frogs? He really wasn’t sure if that was even a thing but you know, it could be? ”Oh? Well, I guess I’m not counting” a small smile on his lips. This kid seemed to belong in Ravenclaw alright. ”Catch them? Uhh I never have although, I’m not sure if it’s the wisest of moves. Maybe check in with the Care of Magical Creatures Professor first. He may even let you keep one as a pet although if you want that, might be better just buying a toad”. He didn’t really see the value of having a toad as a pet but to each their own. He was much more of an owl person. Practical, smart and resourceful.

Ducks were cool. There was just something about them that was just…cute? Funny? He really wasn’t sure. ”Did you know that ducks don’t have sphincters so they just poop everywhere? Ducks, I mean”. This was one of his favourite facts about them although, he wasn’t sure why. Maybe it was because he wanted one as an indoor pet but didn’t want to clean up the mess that came with them. Also, his Aunt would kill him if it did that all over the house. ”Magical creatures are cool though. You’ll enjoy learning here. We see a load of different creatures”
