"Today is the day, friends!!" Poppy blasted as she arrived at Beasts' class.

I looked at her clueless. "What is today, Poppy?"

"Our visit to Copernica of course!" Phineas showed up right behind me.

That's right, I had completely forgotten about that.

She opened up her little notebook. "I've been tracking her flight pattern for the last couple of weeks. They were really scattered at first, meaning she was avoiding leaving her den and the baby as much as she could. Now she has returned to her regular activity, which allows us to assume-"

"It allows us to assume that she is no longer too protective in a dangerous way, and it should be safe to visit them! You are a genius, Poppy!" Phineas completed her sentence, excitedly.

"Mr. Black, mind sharing what it is that is more exciting than the lecture?" Professor Howin called his attention.

"I apologise, Professor." He sounded so sincere, that the Professor smiled slightly.

Apparently, he knew how powerful his charm was.

He leaned in our direction and whispered to Poppy and me. "My Arithmancy class ends at 4 pm. I'll be at the South Exit with Gaunt and Sallow."

It was 4 o'clock and I arrived at the Floo location. To my surprise, everyone else was even more punctual than me.

"But how can you fear something if you can't even see the size of it, Ominis?" Sebastian was teasing him with a smirk.

Ominis scoffed. "Sebastian, do you fear death? Well, I mean, you probably don't. But what I mean is, people fear death even though it is an abstract concept that can't be seen. If I fear dragons it is only logical, I don't need to see one to know how threatening the killer beast is." He crossed his arms in front of his chest impatiently.

Phineas poked Ominis with his arm. "It will be alright Ominis! I promise, I have been there many times, she loves us! Right, Poppy? Oh, Carolyn, you have arrived!"

With his comment, everyone acknowledged my presence.

"Morgan, I don't even know how I will ever forgive you." Sebastian grinned, shoving his hands in his pockets. "You literally met a dragon and never told me! I thought I was your best friend!"

"It was only one time and-" I took a closer look at his cloak, covered in white fingerprints. "Sebastian, what happened to your uniform? Why is it covered in white dust so densely that it looks almost grey??"
