Puppy Problems


"Quick, I think your Mum is coming you should..."

"I'm home! What's going on up there?"

"Cover her, quick!"

"I don't have a blanket! I don't have a blanket!"

"Shove her under the bedཀ James, do I...oh, Hi love. Did you have fun sh..."

"What the bloody hell is that, and why is it in my house?"

"So, We got a puppy."

"I really wanted her and she was sad and a little sick."

"It was James' idea."

"Of course it was James' bloody idea! He's been hounding us for years for a dog."

"Well, now he'll stop, because he has one! Isn't that lovely?"

"Yes, I promise I'll stop. I have a puppy now and I love her."

"Yes, the boy loves her. You won't deny him of love, will you?"

"I might deny you of love."

"That's cruel. I just got him something that he's wanted for a very long time. He's been very good and I haven't had to punish him and we've promised him over and over that we'd get him a dog, and..."

"You were very cruel parents, promising me a dog and never giving me one. Now that I have one, I have somehow found it in my heart to forgive you."

"Aren't you glad that our son doesn't resent our untrustworthiness, Draco? Because I sure am."

"You are both sneaky, manipulative, overly dramatic...people. That dog isn't staying here when James goes to Hogwarts. We'll have to put it in a pound or kennel or...or kill it or something. Can dogs go into comas?"

"You can't kill a dog just because it's owner is going away for a while. I've already talked to Hagrid at Hogwarts and he said that James' dog can stay down at his cabin with him. I'm sure both Hagrid and Fang will be pleased with the new company."

"Yes, and I'll go down and see her every day. I promise I'll take good care of her."

"Yes, he'll take good care of her. He'll be very responsible."

"Why did you have to get such an ugly dog? It looks like...I don't even know if I've seen an animal that horrible before. I have nothing to compare it to."

"It's just a Chinese pug, Draco. They are very popular animals. They don't get much bigger than that, though. I hope Hagrid doesn't accidentally...step on her or anything."

"He won't. I think he'll love her."

"So do I, she's just very small."

"And she makes odd noises. Is it...grunting?"

"I...I think so. James, are you sure that that is a dog? I've never heard a dog grunt before."

"It's a dog, I promise. Her name is Daisy and I love her. We even got her this collar, see Mum? Isn't it perfect."

"The collar took three hours to pick out."

"It's...lovely. I'm sure dogs look very fashionable in sparkly pink collars. She'll look absolutely stunning. Harry, love, are you trying to make our son gay?"

"He didn't pick it out."

"Dad did."

"I did."

"And that explains a lot."
