He had never been one to be particularly fond of putting creatures in clothing, though he knew many people who enjoyed the pastime. He had also been a photographer had enough functions and seen enough creatures in everything from campy costumes to sleek formalwear and could admit that the right fit was positively adorable. "Sounds adorable," Cooper smiled. "Does he get to partake in the whole ugly jumper tradition of the holidays?" Apparently Cooper lacked a certain sense of style and he wore such garments rather naturally - Mercer was kind enough to insist that it was just a unique style, but his little sister was a bit more forthcoming in her opinions.

"We've all taken a ride on them before," he nodded with an even more nostalgia sort of smile. "Dad is by far the best at getting them to cooperate and settling in for a mount...and my little brother," he chuckled and shook his head while running a hand through his hair. "He nearly drowned so many times trying to be as good as dad, too persistent for his own good, but he got there eventually." And used it as a flex with Mitsuki once or twice, though he wasn't so sure that she was particularly impressed by it or not. He hoped, for Mercer's sake, she had been though. "I've jockeyed winged horses more than I have ridden our loch's kelpie though, trilling as it is to get to do it...sometimes being submerged underwater like that gives me the heebie jeebies." He wasn't a terrible swimmer but he wasn't a strong one either...and especially not a thrill seeker nor that brand of adventurer.

Cooper could somewhat relate to that feeling of being left behind. Chasing the heels of Phoebe, Theodore, and the whole gang of Stark Schooldom, all of them a year older than himself, and never quite catching up nor never quite fitting in had contributed to a lot of his insecurities and scrutinies of himself. It kind of wasn't until he allowed himself to be out from under the shadow of all these friends he looked up to so much that he really understood how much he already was on his own and how much he could do. He sensed the sadness and fear of her friends graduating and understood it instantly, which was what motivated the tender smile that danced across his scruffy jawline. "For sure utilize the resource that is your head of house or the professor of the particular subject you need help in," he nodded encouragingly. "They'll know some of your peers they can connect you with or even open up some office hours for you specifically for review and NEWT studies." He paused and a moment and tapped his forehead with his palm as if it would shake the information free from his brain. "Potions...is that still Professor Adara?" It was hard to keep up with these things now that he had no siblings left at Hogwarts and no students at Hogwarts left that he had attended with personally to keep him up to speed in letters.

Bloody hell he was getting old.

She’d be extra thrilled to hear Cooper’s appreciation of her ‘sharing of enthusiasm’ though, not that the blonde needed the encouragement but it helped to ease the minor imposter syndrome she was feeling being a newly turned sixteen-year-old in the workplace. “That’s a shame..” she mused over there being a lack of hairless Kneazles. “Uncle Bradley’s has to wear a jumper in the winter because he gets too cold. And his wrinkles make him look especially grumpy even when he’s purring.” Most people were creeped out by him but stroking the cat felt like touching suede, they were surprisingly soft and oh so affectionate. She’d heard of anti-allergen potions but the thought of taking one every day because of something as debilitating as an allergy to pet fur just.. well it sucked and she felt sorry for them. Now that was particularly interesting. Kelpie’s, as horse-like in appearance as they were, were not on Aurora’s list of potential pets for the future. She supposed she couldn’t quite get over the eating humans bit even if the possibility of taming it was on the cards. “Did you ride it?” she asked, nonchalantly twirling a Crup collar from the display around on her finger. An applause would normally call for a curtesy of appreciation but Aurora was too busy wracking her brains for the exact methodology she had used for her potion. “I hope so, I might have to look for a tutor for my NEWTs. My best friends will all have graduated by the time I get to my seventh year and they are usually my study buddies.” Not that that was a thought that bear thinking about right this second.
