#27—Owl

“Father, I want a new owl. I don’t like this one anymore.”

“What’s wrong with it?”

“I’ve had it for five years. He’s old and worn and I think it’s time for an update.”

“Draco, there’s nothing wrong with your owl. He can still fly quite well, he’s never lost any mail—”

“Mother, don’t you remember what it’s like to be a teenager? It doesn’t matter if something’s broken or not. If it’s passé, you can’t possibly keep it. And I have a reputation to uphold.”

“You’re not getting another owl, Draco.”

“But Father—”

“No and that’s final.”
