CLICKING HIS FINGERS TRIUMPHANTLY ELI nodded his head. "Spongebob, yeah!" He hadn't been able to remember the name, but the animation was stuck in his brain. Silly and colourful and funny, too. Plus, it was the only creature of similarity he could think of for the Giant Squid, and he'd wanted to at least pretend he could be helpful. Luckily, Toby was a good mate and agreed. Eli laughed lightly, "I thought so." Even if he hadn't been so sure to begin with.
As much as Eli wished he'd seen a dragon, he shook his head. He had a deal with Lily, and hopefully she'd follow through, but there was no guarantee she even could. "Nah, they're hard to come by on the west coast." As far as he knew, anyways. He'd never even had a whiff of any back home. Ilvermorny was a bit different, but they didn't exactly have dragon exhibitions for extra credits. "I'd love to, though." And he would someday. He was going to work with Magical Creatures, if he had any say in his career.
"She does?" Eli asked, interest lighting his eyes. "Yeah, I've read about that." He said, knowing it wouldn't be fair to have one now, while he was at school. He'd want to bring it everywhere with him, which wasn't always feasible. "That's so cool..." He nodded, fascinated. "What's their name?" Because he liked to personalise animals in his mind.
"I love dogs!" Eli agreed, always eager to pet the ones No-Maj's often walked in the streets and in parks. They had such an innocence about them, often just happy to be with their person or gnawing on a treat. But, mostly, he agreed with Toby about picking favourites. "Exactly!" He enthused, nostrils flaring slightly as he laughed, even joking, it was true. "Like, no-maj versus magical," He ticked them off on his fingers. "Water and land based..." Another finger pointed up. "Domestic versus wild." Shaking his head, it baffled him, "And I'm supposed to choose a favourite?!"

Toby tossed the remaining crumpet crumbs from the depths of his pockets into the lake, wiping his hands on his pants. When Eli inquired about his Mums kneazles name, his lips curled upwards, "His name is Theodore, Theo for short." he snorted, "And we have a dog named Jaxon. My Mum likes people names." he shared with a chuckle and lazy shrug of the shoulders. Toby didn't really care about names, as long as they had a name.
The Hufflepuff mentioned have never seen a dragon before because he was from the west coast, Toby cocked his head to the side before curiously asking. "Where from the West Coast are you from?" He was always eager to learn more about his new Ilvermorny transfer friends. He hadn't connected with many transfer students yet, other than Ashley, Zen, Ellie, and a few others. Sometimes he was just too awkward or honestly didn't feel like spending the energy socializing with new people. Eli seemed like one of his kind of people though. He was an apparent animal freak like him and he really liked that!
Toby nodded along animatedly when Eli continued about how he couldn't ever choose a favorite animal, they came in categories and sub-categories. "Aye! Agreed!" Toby exclaimed with a laugh. He nodded in approval,"I like you. You know what's up." he stated in a friendly tone, surprisingly not as awkward as he could be with such a declaration.
Then, right at the corner of his eye, he saw it. A tentacle breached the water, lapping around the sparkling surface. "Oi, grindy--" he suddenly perked up, squinting his eyes. "Er. No, it's the squid, mate! Squidward!" Toby called out excitedly, hopping up and down, unable to hide the full blown nerdgasm from unfolding.

THEODORE WAS A GOOD NAME, ELI HAD TO admit. He nodded his approval, lips pulled down at the corners as he thought about what he might name a Kneazle if he had one. "People names," Eli snickered, but he was right, they were decidedly formal. "I like that." It better than a dozen 'patches' and 'spot', Eli thought. It gave them more character. "It's fancy."
Kicking a loose rock with his foot, Eli smiled as he told Toby. "California." He said, though his stomach felt knotted when he thought of home. He loved where he was, and the environment was full of things to explore and find, but he did miss home. The open expanse and dryness, even if he'd fallen in love with the rain and snow. "LA, to be specific." He turned to his new friend, curious as he asked, "What about you?" He didn't know much about geography in Britain, but he'd try. Toby had been nice enough to ask first.
Though, he much preferred talking about animals. That was a subject he understood. Even if he couldn't choose a favourite. "Right?" He said, laughing even though it was true. He couldn't possibly pick. And maybe he preened and Toby admitting he liked him, even flippantly, but he tried his hardest not to make a fool out of himself.
Their attention, however, was quickly stolen when Toby yelled excitedly that the squid had shown its face. "Where?!" Eli said, turning his head and scanning the water just in time to see a lazy tentacle caress the skin of the oddly calm water. "Squidward!" He echoed, laughing in shock as he reached over and clapped Toby on the back triumphantly. "We did it, dude!" He whooped, even though he'd done very little. Toby had brought the crumpets. Eli had just gotten them chased by angry grindylows.
Eli's face went slack with amazement when the tentacle wobbled on the surface, and as if giving them a show, wrenched up in the air and slapped downwards. The wave it created caused spray to wet the front of Eli's face and body, but he couldn't look away, he didn't even cringe. "Man..." He sighed, shaking his head in disbelief as he blinked water from his eyes. "What a legend."

The sight of Squidward had definitely uplifted both of their spirits. They watched the water with utter and complete mesmerized excitement. Toby loved any time he got to see animals. Even squirrels, bowtruckles or even birds. Animals and nature were pretty cool in his book. Toby watched the tentacle slap the water's surface, sending glorious lake mist their way. It was wonderful. The Ravenclaws jaw remained slacked, mouth gaped wide open. His eyes squinted a bit through his glasses that now had specks of water covering his lenses. "We're gonna need more crumpets." he snorted, turning toward his new friend with an expectant look. Toby had a good feeling about Eli, after this brief encounter he was positive that the Puff would make a great new friend. THE END
