"A real duck," she repeated with a small nod. Grin forming on her face at his reaction. Did he think it impossible to house a duck in his office? Cause it wasn't. Not to her. And especially not with magic. If they could change a classroom into a maze or put grass in for soccer, certainly he could put in a few things for a duck. "It could keep you company," Cause from what she could see, it was just him in the office. Him and his rubber ducks. "Like a dog or cat....only not them. A different kinda pet." Nod.

And she could help him pick out this new pet duck. Mmhmm.

Her eyes lingered on the spot where the rubber duck had sat before drifting to the professor. If there was any oddness in his reaction to her staring at the duck it went unnoticed by the young girl. "Kinda weird," she responded, grin still present as her eyes flicked to the case of rubber ducks. "But not too weird. I used to collect stickers." That wasn't weird like rubber ducks, but it was a collection. A big collection.
