The younger hufflepuff might not be bold, but he liked to think she was maybe a little more confident than when he first met her. "Not as bad as my bad habits!" He joked, trying to keep things light hearted. Michael's recklessness was fairly well known, as was his penchant for getting into trouble despite aiming to be a good student. Sometimes his curiosity simply got the better of him.<br/><br/>He grinned wide, thankful for the slight change in tone, when Hayley mentioned Moonpie. He definitely felt similarly about Owl. It'd been a while since he'd had to explain why his Owl was named Owl, now. "They definitely can. It's not silly at all, I feel exactly the same way about Owl." Michael knew Hayley at least wouldn't need that clarification. There was a slight not of agreement. Books could only teach you so much about animals, there was certainly no beating the combination of studying and practical experience. "The reality never quite matches up, but I like that."<br/><br/>"It's no problem." Michael assured her, always glad to talk about animals. "The key is to find a way to tip them over. They're very well armoured everywhere but the belly, but once their belly is exposed a simple blast will put them out of action with ease." He grinned slightly. Tipping them over was far, far easier said than done. "As for me, if I could see anything in the world, I suppose a Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon. Though they are very large and dangerous, and I'm not sure it would be wise, I would love to meet one of those." Michael tended to naturally identify with the larger side of the beast scale.
