Show me a hero, and I’ll write you a tragedy

Smiling probably the widest that Lucas has done all week, he nods. “You’re right, completely right. It’s just awful and unethical how magical creatures get treated. It gets worse the moment you find out that they are treated that way because they can’t speak the same language as we do…” Clenching his right fist, Lucas shakes his head. It just wasn’t right on any ground’s in Lucas’ mind. If you hit them would they not cry out or whine? They feel pain, emotion and are intelligent creatures with their own thoughts…

It takes a few deep breaths before Lucas’ hand goes back to it’s relaxed mode, and he can speak normally to Blake again. “So, Can I sign you up to the member list?” He asks.

Blake nods in excitement, this is a perfect way to truly integrate herself into the workings of Hogwarts students. “It’s aweful, not to mention when they put them in shows to do things for an audience but that pertains to both the muggle and the wizarding worlds. They get punished if they don’t perform perfectly and it shouldn’t ever have happened at all.” She says. “Animals, while not human or anything human like, are still capable of having thoughts and feelings. Just look at abused dogs for example.”

Blake nods and holds out her hand, “You can absolutely sign me up for the members list. It’s too bad my girlfriend is back in France, she is much more invested in the care and treatment of animals than I am.” She says with a smile.

Blake raised an eyebrow, “But of course I was still listening.” She replies with a smile. “That sounds rude that they would just tune you out. But I understand, sometimes I’ll go on and on about something and my girlfriend stops listening to me.” She says, with a shrug. “That’s so odd, I wonder why such an atrocity isn’t known widely. So only brown and black horses would have existed before the unicorn incident then?” She asks, tilting her head. “I’m a muggleborn, so this is all truly fascinating to me.”

She nods along with the second example, “The process of becoming a lion from a griffin honestly sounds a little terrifying.” She admits, though she herself has seen plenty of terrifying things before.

Finding it comforting Blake not only listens, but understands, he nods his head and continues speaking, “Yeah, that’s the theory that a lot of professors have come to conclusions to through years of studying and adventuring finding lost archives of the Creatures…” Stopping dead in his tracks, he turns around and faces her properly. “Why don’t you become a member of the Care of Magical Creatures Club? I bet you’d do well voicing your opinions on some matters.”

Blake looks pensive at the suggestion. She never even thought of joining the club, but she doesn’t really have any reason not to. “I really wonder if there is any thing people haven’t found yet. Like some sort of mixing between the two cultures, muggle and wizard, that is,“ she says. She thinks on the suggestion for a moment and gives Lucas a smile. “Sure, I’d love to be a part of it. I really think something ought to be done about how some magical creatures get treated.”

Lucas’ eyes grew wide in mock surprise. “You’re still listening?” he laughed it off. “I’m joking, but seriously a lot of people would only be half listening at this point” he shrugged before he continued, impressed that she was engaging with him. “Yes. Quite a lot of the white horses that we have today used to be unicorns, and it’s actually quite debatable on if white horses in the muggle world existed before unicorn’s due to conflicting Care of Magical Creature’s history…”

He tilted his head from left to right for a second, as if he was trying to think rather hard. “And to answer your question on if there has been any similar events that have taken place like it? Yeah countless. The Muggle Lion’s used to be all Griffins for example…” He states simply. 

Blake raised an eyebrow, “But of course I was still listening.” She replies with a smile. “That sounds rude that they would just tune you out. But I understand, sometimes I’ll go on and on about something and my girlfriend stops listening to me.” She says, with a shrug. “That’s so odd, I wonder why such an atrocity isn’t known widely.

Blair had left the common room for a chance to study without Castor complaining about something again. Upon wandering around the library she found the new Gryffindor student and walked over. “Bonjour, mind if I sit?

“Salut, vas-y,” she tells Blair with a smile. “What brings you to the library?” She asks her and picks her pen up to make some marks on her notes. “Oh before I forget, when is Quidditch practice?”

“Anyway…”  Lucas continued on. “That’s how half of our unicorn’s lost their horn’s and slowly domesticated themselves into the muggle white horses which you’ll see today, illegal breeding doesn’t just mess up and destroy magical creatures emotionally, it can have some serious consequences to an entire species physically of magical creatures too….”

Blake nodded along to Lucas’ words. She wasn’t in the Care of Magical Creatures class, but it was clear Lucas had a passion for such things. “I never knew that,” She tells him raising an eyebrow. “So are you saying that most, if not all, white horses roaming in the muggle world are simply hornless unicorns?” She asks him as she walks beside him. “And have there been other cases where similar things have happened?”

Blake had been at the school for maybe a week so far, but she had already gotten some information that could be helpful to her investigation. Which is why she was sat at a table in the library, further in the corner for more privacy. She’s writing down a list of students she feel may be connected, and notes next to it as to why, all in German, sometimes switching to Swedish. It’s more likely for students at Hogwarts to have French as a second language than German or Swedish. 

She had been in the library for roughly half an hour, still writing down in her notebook when she hears footsteps begin to approach her. Without lifting her head, she closes her notebook, it locking as it closes, and grabbing the notebook she has labeled charms and opening that.
