Foe fum

James wanted to smirk at Nymeria. In fact he did and as he did so he pressed down on his knees and rose to his feet, standing up fully before moving over to her workstation.

"We're in the Ministry, love," he reminded her with a half-smile, "and you don't have to tell the Ministry what they don't need to hear, do you? That's part of the fun, after all."

James held out his hand to Nymeria, a warm look lighting in his eyes as he addressed her with his gaze.

"I can teach you," he said softly, "that is if you want to learn, of course."

James didn't doubt she wanted to learn. It was like finding the end of the rainbow or eating the forbidden fruit. Being dangled the offer was too good to not take. He'd been the same, though his compulsiveness had driven him to it rather than anything else. He was an addict, after all. He did have compulsions. Success was as addictive as anything else.

"A beautiful woman such as yourself would be something a bit special, eh?" James asked gently, though he didn't require an answer from his assessment. "We begin with casting the Patronus Charm, Nym. You know it?"

Nymeria took his hand and went in the middle of the room, she guessed they'll need some place, that seemed logical. She inhaled trying to get ready for whatever she need to do now, although she had no idea what so she ended looking in James and waiting for his instructions.

Althought she wanted this she started to be nervous. Her palms started sweating so she tried to wipe them on back side of her jeans.
"I want." Her voice was too quiet for him to hear so she cleared her throat and tried again. "I want, thanks."

Nymeria turned, frowing a last glance to shelves and then focused on James wondering what she need to do know. Honestly, she didn't know, she has never read about process of becoming an animagus.

"Patronus?" Nym raised her eyebrows but still added. "Yes, I know how to do it." She was terrible in transfiguration, but she is pretty good in, and patronus charm was the first charm they learned on their fifth years. She was the first who made a material patronus, her was a beautifful silverry lynx, she fell in love when she see it for the first time, and sometimes, she practiced that charm when she was lonely, just to se a cat.

Nym patted her jeans ready to pull out her wqnd but then remembered she forgot it on her desk. "Can you call my wand, please, it's in the Brain room, not so far from here." She pleadingly gazed at him hoping he would do it so she won't need to go back to find him in this dark.
