She nodded and said,"That it does..." She sipped from her wine thoughtfully.
"Ah, yes. I much prefer books on my subject, as my collection will tell. This is just the rarer books, and the ones that are quite forbidden, definitely for students. I... acquired them, and they have come in handy quite a bit." She looked at him and said,"Yes, horrors that are completely and utterly impossible will never make it onto my shelves. They are useless, and they annoy me to no end."
She looked over at Demon. She looked back at Braeden. "Do you have any pets?"

"Forbidden?" He sipped at his wine, staring at her curiously. "Why?"
As she asked another question, Brae followed her gaze to the animal. He replied, "I have an owl. I find myself too... busy to feed and look after a dog or cat, so I stick to an owl."

She smiled and said,"Because they hold secrets of the Dark Arts that are not too favored among the Ministry and such. I managed to attain them before they were burned, having dug around and found a few copies that had been smuggled away. I used my parents money, at least they were useful for one thing, and bought them. Now they're here..."
She looked over at them. "They contain spells and counterspells that would make the Cruciatus Curse seem like nothing. They have ways of torture that haven't been used for centuries, and those were only allowed by the most powerful of wizards." She shrugged and said,"They are useful to teach my subject, and I create counter-curses for those that do not have existing ones..."
She glanced back at Demon as well. "Yes, it does require plenty of time and patience to care for a dog or a cat. An owl is much more simple, but sadly, my owl died a few years ago. I got Demon instead. He seemed more... appropriate, seeing as I do love dogs. And my brother was always harping on about how one day I was going to be attacked, and what would I do then? Demon shut him up when he bit him as he tried to slap me." She smiled slightly.
