"I´m not too keen on gold myself, either. Actually I don´t really like it. Silver is far more beautiful and magical, too." Drusilla said feeling good about finally finding a person who didn´t like gold.

"I would want to have a pet snake, because I would want to ..." she bites her tongue feeling suddenly childish. She was about to say because I would want to see whether I could talk to it like Harry Potter, but realized that was hardly probable.

"Because I would want to see whether it really swallows the rats whole," she continued, even though she had seen such things happen on telly, and really didn´t think it was anything special.

"And because I guess snakes are available in my favourite colours," she grinned. "But I doubt they will buy me one. My mother thinks I´m too young to take care of more than one pet, and I´ve already got Merlin. What would your Christmas present wish be, if you could get anything?"
