And then his face grew a huge grin, "Really?! I mean..."

He cleared his throat and made a sporting effort at containing himself, "Thank you, sir. I've done some reading over the summer on the more technical side of changing, but I've yet to find any books on personal accounts of changes. I also," am still grinning, can't help it, "found a book called 'Predicting your Patronus', since most animagi take the same form, but I think it's mostly a load of bunk."

...he didn't just say that. "I mean it's not very factual."

A small, friendly smirk danced on Preston's lip as the boy's excitement became more evident. Crossing his arms again, though this time without it seeming confrontational, he nodded his head several times.

"Good. I have some books I would like you to take a look at, then. And as for the 'bunk,'" he chuckled lightly, "I tend to agree with you. There are some reasonable metrics, but others are simply fluffy self-help."

He waited a beat. "Though, I suppose your reading the text means that a corporeal patronus is not yet in your repertoire? That's not a problem, but it is helpful to know."

Idly stroking his chin, Preston thought. "Stop by my office at your leisure. There are some formalities and paperwork before we can undertake anything practical. Lots of regulation, you understand."
