(Scorpius Malfoy – Next Generation)
61. It is generally accepted that cats and dragons cannot interbreed and I should not attempt to disprove this theory no matter how wicked the result would be.
"Scorpius, no. It just doesn't work like that!"
"But Al! Come on, how cool would that be?" Scorpius Malfoy stared of dreamily as Albus Potter shook his head. No matter how many times he told the blonde haired Slytherin, he just couldn't convince him that cats and dragons would never ever interbreed.
Albus took a mouthful of potatoes, as his cousin Rose sat beside them and started to pile her plate high with food. Scorpius snapped out of his daze as he noticed her.
"Maybe-"
"No, Scorpius, I'm quite sure that if cats and dragons could interbreed, they would have done so already," Rose cut across him smartly, rolling her eyes at Albus. He smiled through his mouthful. Scorpius looked crestfallen.
"Why are you guys so negative? Can't you imagine what it would be like if they could? How awesome! You'd have a creature the side of bulls with scales and paws, huge, bony wings and a long tail. How amazing." He suddenly brightened.
"Maybe, because they didn't know exactly what the effect would be, they haven't tried! Maybe we could be the first, we'd be down in history for being the first witch and wizards to discover an animal that's blood has magical properties and is a loveable companion!"
"Scorpius Malfoy, under no circumstances is that going to happen! Dragons are about a million times bigger than cats, so even if anyone was stupid enough to try, the cat would just get crushed! It wouldn't work!"
Rose felt a moment of guilt for the blonde boy, as she saw the look of utter disappointment cross his face, but then Scorpius' face spread into a smile.
"Maybe-"
Albus and Rose sighed. It was no use.
