On her way to the zoo after her first year at Hogwarts, Erin was very excited and happy to see and feel the outside world, together with her bestfriend, Beezus. She'd actually promised her to spend the rest of the summer. They shared rooms together, ate together and Erin also met Beezus' family.

And suddenly, Beezus stopped and pierced her eyes to the snake creature like she was trying to understand it. "Do you hear it?" Erin asked.

"What?" Beezus responded.

"The parseltongue?"

"No."

"Then why'd you stop in here?"

"Just trying if I could be a Parseltongue," Beezus smiled.
