The Zoo

"You can't honestly tell me you have never been to a zoo before!" Hermione laughed the hardest she ever could.

"No, Father didn't let me have fun as a child. Not to mention let me be a child." He said seriously.

"Very funny Draco." Hermione rolled her eyes and scanned the map.

"I'm being serious!" He said in defense.

They had looked at otters, lions, tigers, elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, bongos, mountain goats, monkeys, bears, seals, dolphins, polar bears, birds, platypus, echidna, ostriches, snakes, lizards, echidnas, gorillas, pandas, foxes, deer and were now looking at an information plate regarding an animal called a 'Dhole.'

Why don't they just write 'Dig a hole' instead of Dhole?" Draco asked stupidly.

"No Draco, the Dhole is an animal." Hermione laughed.

"I don't see anything." He said squinting.

"It's a fox like animal crossed with a dingo I think. Well, it's looks like a fox and a dingo." Hermione said in reassurance.

"I don't see any-Aaargh!" Draco screamed as the animal jumped at the fence where his face was.

"That's a Dhole." Hermione laughed.

"Shut up!" Draco whined and they continued down the pathway.

"Let's look at the Francois Langur next!" She beamed excitedly as she read the map.

"The what? I thought your brother married Fleur ages ago!" Draco sighed in utter confusion as they headed down a steady path.

"Yes, five years to be exact. We married on the same date as them, only a few years later." Hermione scoffed.

"Really?" Draco asked.

"Yes Draco. Really. And for your information, a Francois Langur is a type of Monkey." Hermione finished angrily.

"Then why don't they just call it Monkey?" Draco said in an annoyed tone.

"Because they give each species of animal a particular name." Hermione explained.

"You know too much." Draco glared.

"You wanted to know what the animal was." Hermione protested.

"A french monkey would have been a simple explanation." Draco muttered. Hermione rolled her eyes.

This was going to be a long day.
