Snorkack
220 words
"Can you watch the boys for a few minutes while I run to the store?"
Dean tried to offer to go instead but Luna was already gone. He stared at her twins, busy coloring at the coffee table, and gulped. He's been seeing Luna for months now but he'd never been left with the boys before.
At least they liked to draw, he could handle that. He approached them slowly with his sketchpad.
"Can I join you?"
One of the boys nodded – he still couldn't tell them apart. The second watched critically as Dean sat down beside him and began a quick sketch of a toy dragon.
"You're a good drawer," said the first twin, settling on Dean's other side. "Can you draw anything?"
"Sure. What do you want me to make?"
"A crumple-horned snorkack."
Dean sat dumbfounded for a moment. Luna had humored him with tales of the creatures she once believed in, but this was a new one.
"Okay…" He slowly drew a picture of a platypus, the strangest muggle animal he could think of, and hoped the boys had never seen one. He hastily added horns to it afterward.
"Wow! It's just like Grandad said!"
Luna stepped out of the fireplace with ice cream and the boys ran to her.
"Look, Mummy! Dean's seen a snorkack too!"
