"Snakes, Juni, are snakes. They all have the power to kill me and that makes them... intimidating." Not scary. Intimidating.

She couldn't help, though, but be secretly amused at the matter-of-fact manner that Juni had clarified the species in. It was cute.

"Probing device? Why can't we just... you know... use our wands?" She shrugged lightly, making a face. "I mean... it's long and thin. Do you think it would work?" Looking around the room, she tried to see if anyone else was... probing their snake.

...where did they stick the probe anyway?

"Just so you know... you're probing."

Juniper shrugged at Issy. Her friend might not appreciate nature as she did, but that was not her problem. Issy’s loss. Juniper even was careful enough to ignore Issy's use of her nickname. Juni. Juniper didn't think the name fit her very well.

“Use our wands?” Juniper’s quiet voice was skeptical, but Issy had a point. What good would a wand be anyway? It seemed to be the simplest solution, so she nodded. “Fine. And of course I’m probing. You don’t know how, do you?”

Gleefully, Juniper pulled her wand from her pocket. Using it, she probed the snake with utmost care for its feelings. She did not want to hurt the poor snake, after all. She felt sorry for it, to be truthful. It had not asked to be collected and transported from its home in warm, sunny Madagascar to cloudly and rainy Britain. And not even to be well-treated. The poor snake had to be subjected to students’ untrained learning. Who knew how it would be mistreated after Juniper and Issy finished observing it kindly? She did not even want to think about it.

“It’s a boy,” Juniper finally told Issy. Her wand really was not dirty after being used for a probing device – thank goodness it was the right size – but she wiped it on her robes for good measure. “Now we have to decide if its venomous or not.”
