Ferret
Al sat by the lake, it was September but the weather was still warm. He had Jitter, his pet ferret, on his lap and was trying to teach him how to do a backflip.
"Hi," a blonde haired boy sat down next to him. "You're Al aren't you? You're in Gryffindor."
"Yes. Scorpius right?" Al said, looking curiously at the other boy.
"Yea. Nice to meet you." he extended his hand, which Al shook warmly.
"You as well."
Al looked back at Jitter and the ferret finally did a backflip. Al smiled and fed him a treat. "Cute ferret." Scorpius said.
"Thanks, his name is Jitter. My dad got him for me. He's really friendly if you want to pet him."
"My dad hates ferrets." Scorpius said conversationally as he pet Jitter.
"Why?"
"He doesn't like to talk about it."

So I noticed watching DHpt2 the other day that Al has a FERRET in his cage on his way to Hogwarts and this cracked me up because all I could think of was Draco even though it wasn't a white ferret and Al didn't hang out with Scorpius (yet ;) ?) But I still had this little comedic line pop up in my head and had to share. Don't own, don't sue.
