Chapter One; Pitbull Love

Just a quick note from the author; Although my last story ended in a different way than I had originally planned it (and I didn't plan for Harry to get another dog so soon) I was in complete shock and astonishment that technically over in the UK (I'm an American so I wouldn't know this) they aren't allowed to have Pitbulls unless they are muzzled, even if they're not dangerous. Even if they just look like a Pitbull authorities are allowed to take your dog and put it to sleep.

That's to which I say what the BEEP! I mean seriously!? How does society expect us not to judge people from the appearances when some people go through shit like this! Thank God this is just a story and I can do whatever I want but seriously I have been around quite a few Pitbulls in my time and the only dangerous thing about them was that they practically licked me to death. I've not only have never been bit by one, I've never even been snarled at. (but I was by a several cats and a beagle and yes I still love them)

So yeah, this note is a little bit longer than I wanted but I was totally pissed off when I read that and I really hope that that ridiculous law will be changed. Since I don't live in the UK, (and now more proud to be an American) there isn't much that I can do about it I'm afraid, but still I say that they should punish the deed and not the breed. Alright now back to the magical land where none of this BS exists. Enjoy!

Harry drove Teddy and Heather and his new puppy Zip over to Jessie's farm. Buttercup was about ready to give birth to her new foal, and luckily for them they got to witness the entire thing. A beautiful new black colt (with a bit of white on his forehead and on the bottom of his legs) fell to the ground. His mother gave a soft little whinny as she started cleaning him off.

"Wow would you look at that? Lily's got a new half-brother." Jessie said with a grin.

"Aww,.. he's so cute!" Heather exclaimed.

"So what are you going to name him?" Teddy asked her.

"Well I was wondering if maybe you guys could help me with that. Since Harry named the filly after his mother, I was sort of thinking that we could name this one after his father." She told him with a grin.

"James or Severus?" Heather questioned her.

"Either way that's a stupid name for a horse." Teddy said with a slight shake of his head and a roll of his eyes.

"So why don't we just call him Bambi then?" Heather suggested. "After all, both of their patronuses were deer right?" she asked as Jessie simply just smiled at her.

"Alright, Bambi it is then." She told her.

"Welcome to the world Bambi." Heather said as she smiled at the new colt who suddenly pulled himself up onto his new legs and started to nurse from his mother.

Tobey sat inside the herbology greenhouse working on a test about the severing charm and how it was useful for different sorts of plants. As he continued to typing on his special typewriter he couldn't help overhearing certain whispers coming from in front of him and back of him. Even though he couldn't see and nobody could accuse him of not keeping his eyes on his own paper he couldn't help hearing them even though he tried to block them out.

"So what do you put for number seven?" one of the boys whispered.

"B." the other one whispered back. Tobey knew that that question was all about the venomous tentactula and he had originally marked A for it. However he also knew that this other boy was one of the smartest kids in his class so he deleted his own answer and changed it to B instead. That's when suddenly the bell rang.

"Alright turn in your papers and enjoy the rest of your weekend." Professor Sprout said. She hadn't heard the other boys cheating and she didn't know that Tobey had done the same on his test. He quickly tore it off his typewriter and handed it in before he hurried out of the room without another word trying to avoid the sickish feeling inside his stomach. For he knew that he had lunch next and he wanted to be able to eat so that Harry wouldn't think that there was anything wrong with him.

As he sat down a crossed the table from Eve, Hagrid entered the room with Chance at his side. "Ah hullo Tobey, hullo Eve." He said as Eve glanced up at him and smiled at him.

"Hullo Hagrid." She said when suddenly Chance laid his head down on top of her lap while panting happily. As she started scratching him behind the ears he wagged his tail excitedly from side to side.

"Chance no, leave her alone." Hagrid told him.

"Oh it's alright, he's not bothering me. Chance is a sweet boy, yes he is!" she exclaimed as he wagged his tail faster before starting to lick her face. Eve giggled while she continued petting him before she finally pushed him aside. "So, did you hear that Harry's coming back?" she questioned.

"Yes I did, that's why I came to see you. I just wanted to wish you good luck on your game." He told her.

"Thanks." She said with a grin.

"And I also heard from Ron and Hermione that he's got a new puppy." He said.

"Yeah Zipporah, she's really cute. I've seen pictures of her." She told him.

"Well Chance, it looks like you're going to have a new playmate." Hagrid said as he grinned down at his dog who continued to pant before lying down at his feet and letting out a rather large yawn before his panting continued.

Eve giggled again. "The puppy looks so much like him that he's liable to think that he's her father or something." She said.

"Well I can't wait to meet her but I probably should get this guy a drink of water and then give him a bowl of kibble so that he can eat. It's his lunchtime too." Hagrid told her as he turned around and started walking away before giving out a sharp whistle. "Chance, come here boy!" he called as the dog immediately perked up his ears and hurried after him.
