A small fourth year boy with vividly bright eyes was strolling around the school for a bit of exercise... Of course, this fitness regime was not for his own benefit, but for that of his pet prairie dog, Minkus. Over the summer, Minky had gotten fairly plump, hanging around eating junkfood and watching cartoons with the twins so often. But now that he was back at Hogwarts, Aiden Everett thought it was time to get his pet back into shape.

As the duo walked down the sixth floor corridor, Minkus veered off to one side of the hall, sniffing at a mysterious piece of candy that must have dropped out of some student's pocket. Looks like Droobles... Aiden thought, knowing Minkus would leave it alone, as he really didn't enjoy the taste of that particular chewing gum.

Now ignoring the candy on the floor, Minkus returned to the left side of the hallway, causing him to accidentally wrap his tie-dyed leash around a small, unsuspecting Ravenclaw girl that neither the prairie dog nor his owner had yet noticed.

When Aiden saw that the Minky had begun to wrap the girl up in his leash, the boy giggled; this seemed to encourage his pet even more, and he began to run in circles around her feet until he had no extra leash to tie around her shoes.

"Umm, sorry about him..." Aiden giggled, not really feeling apologetic. Minkus was only being friendly.
