Greg nodded, "That is fair enough. I can help, of course, if the Professor needs it. I'd be happy to, to lend the Professor a hand," and he gave a small smirk, "I think I can do this, truly Sir. I'll start moving in straight away. I've got furniture I can use, if that is allowed?" he asked, and he pursed his lips, thinking about how he was going to care for Theo, and his mother. He was thinking about items he'd seen in the Goyle house that might be suitable for a cottage, and he paused in his thinking, "Popular? Oh I don't expect I'll be that popular. I mean, I'm no Hagrid, I know. But I can work hard, and I'll keep the place neat and tidy. Do you think...," and he paused, looking at Snape in the face, "Do you think we'll be able to get some of the creatures back here, that belong here? Would you mind very much if I got to work on that as well? Like the squid? And the thestrals? And maybe we can be sure to get the centaurs word to come back...if that is okay?"
Greg paused, and looked slightly embarrassed, "I just remember how upset some people were when those changes happened. It would be good to restore all of it, right?" and it was true; he could remember keenly Theo's distress, and other students' upset, at those animals leaving. It had been just another strong arm tactic from the Ministry to put some muscle on the school, as far as Greg was concerned. It would be good to repair those old wounds as well, Greg thought.
