It Must Be Hereditary
Salazar Slytherin
It all started while Salazar was walking down the path, in front of Hogwarts. A flock of angry birds attacked him.
He cursed them and cursed but it seemed they were coming out of nowhere. When he finally finished he shouted to the sky, "I hate birds!"
Many generations later… Marvolo Gaunt
While he was still a young lad, Marvolo courted a nice girl. He would even say that he was in love and everything was going perfectly when a nasty seagull decided to promote himself.
Just as he was about to kiss her for the first time the bloody bird shited itself all over him. The girl ran away disgusted and he shouted to the sky, "I really hate bloody birds!"
Merope Gaunt
Merope never understood why her father hated birds. She always thought they were nice; singing happily and all. Well, until one day.
She was brewing the love potion in her third month of pregnancy when a bird entered through the window.
"Hello there little one," she greeted cheerfully but that cheerfulness didn't last for long. A bird's feather fell into the cauldron and destroyed the potion. All Merope could think was, 'It could be worse. Let's just hope he won't leave me… I really hate that bird.'
Tom Marvolo Riddle
When he was seventeen Tom found his mother's diary. He read about her hate for birds and to be on the safe side decided to never get a pet bird and to torture every bird he could.
Harry's second year
Blasted Phoenix destroyed his plans and it is just his luck that a phoenix is a bird - an immortal one. He really hated birds.
Harry's fourth year
He laid plans carefully, made sure none of his Death Eaters could muck it up and it was just his luck that an owl flew over the cauldron and dropped a snake in. He really, really hated owls.
Summer before Harry's sixth year
He was just about to hit that boy with a killing curse. He shouted, "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Before the curse could strike the boy, his owl flew in front of him and single handedly took his victory away.
He screamed as he disappeared, "I really hate birds!"
You cannot tell me that this isn't hereditary, it must be!
The End
