Note: Tom Riddle is in this story but he's good! Remember? No Dark Lord
Chapter 2
"Rowan!" Gina called to her grandson as she came up the stairs, eager to talk to him.
"Up here, Hope" her grandson had called back and she smiled to herself, he always remembered that she didn't like being called grandma or anything like that.
"Got everything packed? Robes? Gloves? Underwear?" She continued her list until
"Hope! You got me enough underwear and socks to stock the whole dorm! Now I'm not going to Mars, I'm going to school!"
"Let me worry, also, I talked to Dumbledore, and he said your powers would not be a problem. Just don't go speaking parseltongue all over the place. Not everybody's comfortable with it."
"Don't worry so much, I'm not a show-off" Gina looked at him with the look "Shadow" (whenever it's serious, she calls him by that name)
"Well, much of one"
"That's better, now I have a present for you" and as she said that she pulled out a beautiful orange kitten, two black panther cubs, and two, rare white panther cubs.
"I thought they would go well with the two lion cubs, the raven, the badger, the four snakes (one black mamba, one copperhead, one anaconda and one boa constrictor), the tiger cubs, the phoenixes (night, 2, earth, 2, storm, 2, and fire, 2), the dragons and the dogs"
"They're beautiful, thank you"
"Have you decided who you're taking?"
"Raven, Sin (the anaconda), Vitalis (the boa) and Lazarus (the copperhead) as well as this orange puff ball. They might not like the panther cubs. I think I'll call him Oliver" he said as he looked at the newest feline cubs.
"My, my we have a lot of animals, don't we?"
"Well, whenever it's my birthday, people send me animals because of my beast-speak"
"The others and I shall miss you, oh and if you see any interesting animals, be sure and tell us all about them."
"Of course, do you have the extra wand polish and the book on herbs and plants?"
"Yes, don't worry, I am not about to forget everything, like an old woman!"
"I know, I know I am just so excited that now I'm double and triple checking because you got me worried that maybe I forgot something!"
