It was pure awesomeness to be partners with Melanie, though.
"Mine is a Cheetah," she answered, grinning. "Cause they're just like, so cool, and fast, and cool, and have cool patterns, and..." Natasha smiled. She was kind of rambling on now, wasn't she? It was probably just all the excitement and stuff. "What about you? What's your cool animal?" She really needed to stop saying cool so much...
Melanie couldn't help but grin as Natasha sat down, hoping that when they got out of class they could talk. After all they hadn't spoken in a while and she was eager to catch up with her... Especially since she was one of the first people she ever meant in the wizarding world. Melanie hadn't forgotten that and she probably wasn't going to any time soon.
The second year smiled as Natasha talked about her favorite animal. Melanie had seen them on TV before...they were so fast and pretty... She wished Momo could be more like a cheetah. He was always so lazy. Hmpf. But weren't most house cats cats...? Maybe she'd find some pepper up potion or something for him, or make some soon...
"They sound wonderful," she replied.
"Very...cool." Melanie said, repeating the other girl's word for her animal.
Oohh! And finally her own turn to talk!
"I like Kangaroos best...Because they are good at hopping and swimming and have big feet for the hopping and swimming. And they have a big tail for balance so they don't fall over so much. Oh, Kangaroos have good swivel-ly ears too and good hearing. Plus they're really fuzzy...And look cute. I wanna hug one. I'm not so sure what of of those are my absolute favorite part about them though..." she explained thoughtfully, practically beaming as she spoke about the animal.
She brought her voice down to a whisper as she continued on...
"Do you think that by what he said we'll get to take on one of the animal's attributes?" she asked her solemnly.
"Because if so...I think I'd want the kangaroos feet so I could hop as high as they can. Wouldn't that be fun? Or maybe their ears to hear really well...Or-or maybe their tail so I could balance a bit better... It's really hard to decided. What would you pick?" she babbled on, sounding absolutely thrilled at the idea of trying out any of the of the body parts of her favorite animal, but in the end looking to Natasha for her input.
"What about you? What part of a Cheetah would you want to take on?" she asked her curiously.
