Hogwarts Rebels

Laughing in the sun

This part is dedicated to HarrryPotterRulz.

Ezra and Sabine jumped down the stairs. Scales on the boy's shoulder. The two were in high spirits because their family were going to take them into the woods and they were going to study the animals there. The birds, insects and small mammals.
They reached the lounge where Kanan, Hera, Kallus and Zeb were sitting on the couches. Chopper was curled up beside Hera while Sato sat on his cage peacefully.

"Morning Ezra, morning Sabine" Hera said as they entered.

"Morning mum" Sabine smiled.

"You two excited for your biology lesson?" Kanan asked.

"Definitely" Ezra told him. 

"There's toast in the kitchen if you want it" Hera said.

The two siblings nodded and got some.
Sabine seated herself by Zeb while Ezra sat down beside Kallus.
The man took a glance at Scales and shuffled nervously away.
Ezra blinked in surprise.

"Are you alright Kallus?" He asked.

"Well. Yes. It's just..."

"He has a fear of snakes" Kanan said.

Kallus shot his brother a death glare, but Ezra however looked at the man without any signs of amusement.

"Kallus. Scales is a gentle snake who isn't poisoness​ otherwise he would've killed me a long time ago. I can understand him because I'm a Paselmouth and knows what he's thinking because he tells me. I promise he's okay, you can trust him."

"You're a Paselmouth?" Kallus repeated in surprise.

"Yeah. What's the problem with that?" Ezra asked.

"Well. Most Paselmouths get put into Slytherin."

"He may be a Paselmouth, but that dosen't mean he's a Slytherin" Zeb told him.

"Ezra's good natured Kallus. He has a chance to be put in any of the houses" Sabine said.

"What house were you in?" Ezra asked his uncle.

"I was a Ravenclaw. Same as Hera" Kallus smiled.

"Then I take it your brilliantly smart?" Sabine asked.

"Brilliantly smart? No. I'd say he's more of a brainy goof" Kanan smirked over his cup of coffee.

Ezra and Sabine giggled at that and Kallus rolled his eyes.

"Now back to your problem with snakes" Ezra looked back at Kallus.

"You need to understand them and get over the fear. Once you've done that, the fear will melt away like butter in a burning pan."

Ezra took hold of Kallus's hand and made it flat. Motioning to Scales, the lizard slithered on to the man's palm.
Kallus seemed paralyzed as Scales sat on his hand.

"See? You're fine" Ezra said.

Kallus didn't reply. Scales looked up at him before glancing over at Ezra.

"What'sss wrong withhh him?" He asked.

"He's scared of snakes. I'm trying to help him" Ezra replied.

"Do you think it'ssss working?"

"Well he's not screaming so it's a start" Ezra said with a grin.

The snake also smiled then looked back at Kallus.

"You're not joking about being a Paselmouth" Kallus told him.

"Alright buddy, come here" Ezra told the snake who immediately went back to his friend.
