Jory was going to resist temptation to adopt another pet. Yes, he was. The tough Auror could do this. But before he knew it, he was being addressed by someone (Harmony).

"Hello,'' Jory replied with a smile. "You're welcome. I couldn't resist coming here when I found out about the adoption.'' He seemed to have a great weakness for these kinds of things. "Uh, actually, yes, I mean no.'' Goodness, Mr Stonewall. Make up your mind already. "I think I may have too many pets already.''

Hearing the familiar voice close by, Jory turned. "Hi, Sophie.'' He had a suggestion for her too. "A crup is always great to have around.'' He was speaking from experience.
