[So, Cassie was bored during class, and scribbled this list in her journal to pass the time. Feel free to add to it, comment on it, etc.]

Things to do with Crested Gecko's Tiny Dragons

1. link them and wear them as a necklace.
2. use them to accent a hat.
3. use them as bookmarks, if you don't close the book
4. shoe warmers
5. wear them in your hair like a flower
6. tell them all your secrets

I fail to see how a cold-blooded animal could successfully warm one's shoes, Miss Ainsworth. Perhaps you should spend a bit more time studying and a bit less time telling your secrets to reptiles.

[lookupforme]

Oh, totally, professor, right. More time studying, especially with OWLS coming up and everything.

Maybe shoe coolers, then?

[Why does he get the feeling she's not being sincere...?] Indeed--it'd be a shame if you made such an elementary mistake on your OWLs.

You know, alligators make a nice pair of boots, from what I hear--perhaps if you used the engorgement charm they could just be shoes! You kids should really start thinking more creatively.

[lookupforme]

Where am I going to find alligators, professor?

[dance_kiss_schmooze]

I meant on the geckos, Miss Ainsworth. Hence the recommendation of the engorgement charm. The alligator shoes were merely the segue--do try and keep up. Really, what kind of a nutcase would engorge an alligator?

[lookupforme]

Maybe a herpetologist nutcase? Or a suicidal one. Or maybe you were just particularly fond of alligator skin boots.

I'm fine with my Gecko's as jewelry and companions. If they were bigger, they wouldn't fit in my shoes.

[dance_kiss_schmooze]

I have actually never personally worn alligator skin boots--they clash with my skintone, you understand.

To each their own, though. I'll admit to a certain fondness for lizards myself--once I have enough tails restocked I might just keep one, who knows?

[lookupforme]

I think it would have been a tasteful clash, professor. You shouldn't limit yourself.

[dance_kiss_schmooze]

Think so? Maybe you're on to something. Perhaps next time we have a reptile invasion I'll give it a try.

[Nicely executed schmoozing! There may be hope for Hufflepuff yet!]

[lookupforme]

If you're too embarrassed to let others see, let me see first. I'll promise not to judge, and I'll give my most honest opinion.

[dance_kiss_schmooze]

[Okay that gets a laugh out of him.] Duly noted, Miss Ainsworth; I'll make sure to consult you next time I decide to try out a new fad.
