Today, Minsc's Danger Shop classroom was set up with all sorts of things that might help make a critter's stay in the room much more comfortable: comfy pillows, warm blankets, bowls of food and water, puff balls and thick shoelaces to play with, and he hoped that, like Boo, everyone else's animals had transformed back to their normal states today, as well, or else this would be a much more interesting class than he had bargained for.

"Good morning, students!" he greeted them. "A few thing to note: I have your papers for you and they were all very good! I am impressed! I hope you can be as impressive on your final exam next week! This week, however, I hope you remembered to bring your pets, those of you who have them! It is show and tell day! I know we did something similar to this at the beginning of the semester, but now you've a whole semester's worth of knowledge about magical creatures under your belts, and maybe that has put certain things into perspective about your own critters."

There was a slight pause.

"That, and I'm pretty sure that they were actually people this weekend; that should be a good perspective! How did you feel about that? Did you learn anything new from them being a person? What were they like as a person? Please include all this fascinating information about your experiences, and don't hesitate to ask each other questions! If you have no pets, did you meet anyone else's pets this weekend? What was that like for you?"

"For example," Minsc offered, "Boo was a person this weekend, and, as a result, I have almost no food in my house at the moment. It takes a lot more to feed a person than it does to feed a hamster!"

"Your turn." He motioned to one student, beckoning for them to start.

"Cat, probably," Harry said. "I think I'm a cat person. And I figure they're a little more self-sufficient."

"Maybe both?" Although, maybe Mouse counted as a horse?

"I see tiny cramped apartments in my future," Harry said. "Where am I gonna fit a dog? Although I guess if I go full-scale hermit in a cave I'd have lots of space for a dog."

"Maybe you could get one of the little mop dogs, to go with the cat."

"You think I should get a little yappy dog?" Harry was now wondering what was wrong with the older other him Molly knew.

"What's wrong with little yappy dogs?"

"They're little and yappy," Harry said, as if this should be obvious.

It was. "I like big moosey dogs better, personally."

"Better than little and yappy," Harry agreed. "But I'm not sure I'm a dog person."

"Start with the cat, go from there?"

Harry shrugged. "Maybe. Guess I'll find out, right?"

"Yep, you definitely will." Hopefully that wouldn't end the world?

"If I end up finding out my life is full of little yappy dogs I'll have to hunt you down," Harry warned. "Because a life full of little yappy dogs had never crossed my mind until today."

Molly blinked innocently at Harry. "I would never make you have to hunt me down."

Mostly because he found whatever he was looking for and blew a lot of stuff up. Of course, then she ruined it all by smirking at him. "I'm so not telling about the little yappy dogs, though. Maybe you become a dog groomer."

"You," Harry said, "are evil." Which, really, he thought was pretty great though he wasn't going to admit that.

"Thanks, I do my best."

"Obviously." Harry grinned. "You have to practice or does it just come naturally?"
