One of the greatest things Cassandra was enjoying about the modern era was the fact that a woman could wear trousers and no one cared. She didn't have to deal with layer after layer after layer of bullshit every morning anymore and if she didn't want to, she didn't have to wear her hair up. Gloves, outside of those for winter, had gone the way of the dodo. Dressing in the mornings was so much simpler. Although there was also a lamentable lack of deep pockets... Thankfully, the heavy cloak she had over everything else had pockets abounds and it meant she was ready to go out.

Almost immediately after breakfast, she had disappeared outside to start scouting around the grounds. She carried in front of her a Y-shaped branch from a hazel tree - a rather traditional dowsing rod though instead of hidden pockets of water (of which there were many around Hogwarts), she was seeing good spiritual energy. It probably looked very silly to anyone who saw her, watching her pace about for a minute, then hold out a stick, shake her head, and move on. The process had been going for a good hour by now and she'd made very little progress.

The land around Hogwarts was so scarred, she was almost afraid there wouldn't be a good spot. Now, she was paused and staring up at the whomping willow that hadn't been on the grounds when she was a girl. Thankfully, she was just out of reach of it so the occasional ominous creak was just the tree settling in the cold. "... Right. The other way then."

Right, that was just a lot of overwhelming detail and she didn't want to even think about it. Though she did offer, "There've been underground trains in London since 1863." And that was long before even she was born. But the rest was a bit confusing and too much for now.

She hadn't been expecting to get a demonstration so maybe she was a little disappointed when he pulled away - only to shrink down into a wee rat much like the one that had been following her in her dreams. Instinctively, she made a slightly high-pitched, "Awww!" And as he changed back, she smiled, "If you ever want to take a nap in my pocket..."

Cassandra wouldn't ask him to sing. She suspected that a lot of that would be up to her. Maybe she wouldn't bother the Headmaster with teaching lessons and focus on the gardening instead. Or perhaps she could find the time and energy to do both. She wasn't sure yet. Either way, her hand was back in Peter's, once more flush up against his side. "Onward then. Let's be off."
