Emily gasped "Earl...your hand!..." Emily gasped placing Oakly on her shoulder as she reached for Earl's hand and took it in hers. "oh....wow....their cold is just as intense as those of the fire variety...." she said intensely looking at his hand, for a bit distracted with what the small creatures could do. "sorry..." she caught herself as she pulled out her wand to tend to Earls injury.
"Little bugge-" He caught himself. "Hagrid you do actually feed them right?" He asked.
"Earl what kind of question is that?... of course he dose.." Emily interjected. She lowered her wand and took a look at Earl's hand intensly inspecting it.
"Well one of them was ready to wat Oakley." He said
"Well...sometimes some creatures are always more hungry even if they already ate....kinda like you sometimes..." she quipped, a small smile apeared on her lips. Emily gave his hand a small pat as well as she had managed to heal his wound, she was really getting a hang of her healing spells.
"Still. Best to keep Oakley out of sight." He sakd
"Yes....of course...thats not a bad idea..." she said taking Oakley off of her shoulder. "Sorry Oakley....but you will be more safe in my bag..." she said placing the little bowtruckle into her satchel. "Though...thank you for saving Oakley Earl" she said looking over to him.
"No problem. Thanks for being so good at healing charms."
"Practice really.......however dose come in handy dor all the trouble you get into....." she said
He smiled. "Anyway, Earl. Yeh hear? They're startin' a duelin' club when term starts again." Hagrid said. Earl went wide eyed. "REALLY!?" He said excitedly. "Who's running it? Is there a year requirement?" He asked. Hagrid handed him a piece of parchment. "Hogwarts Students, Draco Malfoy is proud to announce the start of a new dueling club starting january the second. All are welcome to try out " Earl arched his eyebrow. "Draco Malfoy, I thought the Malfoy's were all dine with Hogwarts." He said. "Seems like Draco wants to try and mend some ties." Hagrid said. "He was a pretty rotten kid, but it wasn't entirely his fault. His parents were in deep with You-Know-Who." Hagrid said. "Reckon, now that he's gone for good and Draco's not as reliant on his parents he's thinkin' more for himself."
Emily looked away as Earl smiled. She turned towards Hagrid as he told Earl about the dueling club. She looked over towards Earl knowing he would really love joining the dealing club. However she figured he wouldn't be able to join until his third year. Being that they normally could not do much until their third year. The mentioned of Draco Malfoy's name got Emily's attention. Her father had his share of choice words about the Malfoy's more so about Draco and how he had become a disgrace to his family name. Emily moved her attention back towards the frozen salamanders, staring down at them as her mind wondered off and soon was not paying attention to the discussion between Hagrid and Earl and the dueling club.
"So Emily. Want to try out?" Earl asked. "Uts fine if you'd rather not I won't make you. But I'm going too " he said
"Huh?..." Emily said turning over to them "me join?...well maybe I will...ill give it a thought" Emily replied.
He nodded. "Mr. Malfoy... My dad had some choice words about that family." He said
"Well after what happened....many had their own choice of words for that family....." she added
"Oh right. Your dad probably thinks that the Malfoy's are... Whats the word... Blood traiters." He scoffed. "Bad blood its such a stupid concept."
"....well yes....but more so Draco more then the family as a whole..." She added. Though just stopped there as she did not add how much her father would compare and use the Draco family and we'll other full blood families that had children ruin the blood line and how he would install on her that she was not allowed to do the same.
"Well I think its good that some of the more traditional families are finally figuring it out." Earl said.
"Yes....guess that's a good thing..." she replied
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yes of course, why wouldn't I be?...." Emily replied as she waked back towards the Frozen salamander
"You just seem lost in your thoughts." He said
"Im alright ..." she answered as shewent back to tending to the frozen salamander's
He looked at back at the Salamanders. Deciding not to make anything of it he just watched her tend the Salamanders. But he fot bored pretty fast and started making snowmen.
Emily helped Hagrid tend to a few more of the creatures. She took noticed of Earl's boredom. "Why don't we head back Earl....you seemed board...." she commented
