Snake eggs have a very interesting feel to them. Once I get some more equipment, I should be able to test different properties of the shell. Does this work like the goats did? Will I be able to get more at cost?

Hufflepuff it will be, then. I'll sneak back in with the egg if it's on my possession.

It wasn't really an invitation, but it does look like the only option. Better than me sneaking in here again. Just be careful, okay?

I promised you once already that the snake would be fine. I'm not going to 'balls it up' at the last minute.

When did you want to take it?

I meant more about being careful to avoid getting caught when sneaking into Hufflepuff if it starts to hatch at night, but now that you mention it, making sure you don't drop it down the stairs in a fit of overexcitment is pretty valid too.

I should get going with it pretty soon, I think. Best that I don't stick around here too long and risk being around when your roommates get back.

You put far too much emphasis on what other people think. I find it much easier not to care.

[He picks the egg up off its scarf pillow under the lamp and hands it to John.]

I found a scarf makes an excellent insulator of heat and the most effective nest material.

Well, as long as detentions fall under "what other people think", I don't think I'm likely to stop worrying about it anytime soon.

[He accepts the egg and nods at Sherlock's suggestion.]

Sounds good. I'll make sure to give it one of my House scarves. If you don't already, keep your journal handy so I can let you know if anything happens.

I will check it regularly.

[He stood to walk John out. Least he could do.]
