She was sure they were just trying to upset her...but she couldn't help but...wonder...sometimes. No, NO, her adorable dumbo rat had decided to join the rodent house and had spent the rest of their days stargazing in the Astronomy Tower until they were able to join the stars themselves.
"Why wouldn't it help with lizards?" she asked, her brain still not quite piecing together common sense. "Probably thinking about how much he likes you and how kind and caring a familiar you are to them. Also...crickets."
Anna pulled on the hair on either side of her head a bit, tugging her voluptuous curls straight enough that she could temporarily tie the ends together and gave herself a warm redwood hue kind of mustache that unraveled as soon as she released it from her fingers. She felt a little smaller than usual, and she was already fun sized, but Alfie's warm smile put her tummy knots at ease just a bit. "He's my cousin," she explained and cast another quick glance towards Dennis as he continued...being that way. Her frown turned upside down somewhat, however, when the seventh year Hufflepuffle accepted her tour offer. "It's a date then!"
She looooooooooooved playing tour guide. She may even have time to make it a scavenger hunt like she would for her little sister and little cousin!
"Well parseltongue is the language of snakes, and Alfie Jr. is a lizard and I don't think the language is the same." To be fair, he was no expert on the matter so it was possible he was wrong. All he knew was that snakes and lizards weren't the same thing, so he felt fairly confident in this theory. He grinned. "You're probably right. He really does love crickets."
"Oh, your cousin, that's cool! All of my cousins are muggles. Do you have any other relatives at Hogwarts? I had two siblings, half siblings, who went to Hogwarts but they graduated before I started." |
