"Professor Kettleburn, sir, if you don't mind, I'll be taking my leave now." Hagrid said, gingerly placing the cage of the last fire crab onto the cart. "I have an overdue appointment at The Hog's Head, I do."
"Mmmm?" Silvanus muttered, lost in thought. "Oh, yes, of course. Thanks for the help, Rubeus. Very good of you. I'll get one of the House-Elves to take care of the lot, return it to the center."
"If I might ask, sir, are you sure you'll be able to get back to the castle okay?" Hagrid asked, casting a wary eye to the grey skies above him.
"I'll be fine, I still have one leg." The Care Of Magical Creatures teacher said cheerfully. "You're a good lad, Rubeus. Always liked you."
"Well, you were the first Professor who ever saw me as more than just a dopey screw-up." Hagrid blushed.
"Now, now, Rubeus, you know how I feel about you putting yourself down." Silvanus intoned, wagging his claw at the half-giant reproachfully. "You can tell what head of The Runespoor is which in two seconds flat, that doesn't sound like a screw-up to me. Even I couldn't do that, much to my, uh, misfortune."
Silvanus guiltily glanced down at his right leg.
"Was it a Runespoor that took your leg?" Hagrid asked.
"No, just a toe that time." Silvanus shrugged. "It was a Quintaped who took the leg, I'm afraid."
"A Hairy MacBoon?" Hagrid's eyes widened. "That's incredible! You still have it?"
"No, I turned it into The Ministry." Silvanus scowled, his good mood immediately turning. "Unlike a lot of creatures, I don't really see the point in preserving them. They're butt-ugly, they are an invasive species by nature, and have incestous relations with their own young and eat them if they refuse, bleeeeehhhhhhh…... if not for the magical properties their bodies possessed in the field of potions, I'd say they're all better off extinct."
Hagrid seemed to take none of this in, for he was scratching his chin and looking off into the distance dreamily.
"Don't do it, Rubeus." Silvanus said, eyes twitching. "I know that look. Don't go looking for Quintapeds. I only saw one on their native island in Scotland!"
"Great to see you, Professor." Hagrid said, taking off to the pub.
"It's not too late to fail you!" Silvanus called behind Hagrid's back.
"I was expelled!" Hagrid rebutted.
"Fair enough!" Silvanus shrugged. "Brrrrrrr…. What's taking that House-Elf? There hasn't been a storm this bad in years."
