Samia waved an airy hand. "You're fine. I get off track all the time." Sadly, Samira shook her head. "I wish." Samira reached out a finger and stroked the top of Vlad's head breifly. "My parents hate animals. They're too much work and too much mess." The Slytherin rolled her eyes. "Plus, we do so much travelling it's almost impossible to take care of anything extra." She rocked back on her heels. "But if I could have a pet..." Samira's face took on a dreamy expression. "I would practically have my own zoo! I'd have dogs, cats, horses, birds, and snakes! Lots of snakes!" And now she was rambling. Samira snapped her mouth shut and smiled sheepishly.

"Gooder?" the Gryffindor echoed, giving her an amused smile. "Nice. You don't mind if I use it, do you? The literary gods must be ticked off that we keep butchering the English language. I've never been much of a reader, though. I've never really found out anything that was interesting and I don't think we even have books around my house, unless you count car magazines." He rolled his eyes. His old man had such boring taste.

"Yours do too?" Levi said in disbelief. "God, that really sucks. I know how you feel. I had to keep hiding Vlad during the summer because he would have been tossed outside if my dad found him." He reached up and gently stroked one of the bat's long ears, feeling sporadically protective of him even though they were already at school. He couldn't help it. Vlad was his only pet and he always worried that something might happen to him. He was practically the closest member of his family.

"Awesome! I love all those animals, even snakes," he trilled. "I used to find some really boss ones in the woods but I never thought to take them home. I wasn't sure which ones were the poison kind either but they're so cool-looking." That was amazing that she wasn't afraid of them. He didn't mean to generalize but most of the girls he knew were petrified by snakes, at least the ones back home.
