Chapter 19: Awkwardness

"Hatchling, hello."

"Robert." Holly nodded at him as he slithered closer. The heat was making her slack off a bit.

"How is everything in the burrow?"

"...strange" was her best response.

"How so?" He flicked his tongue.

"We had lunch today."

Robert hissed in confusion.

"We...eat together." She translated.

"Well...I hear humans prefered sharing their meals-unlike others."

She wasn't so sure about that. Perhaps than auntie wouldn't have burst into tears and uncle Vernon yell when she bit into her apple. The "lunch" lasted 2 minutes, anyways.

"I don't think I like sharing meals either..."

A/N: O_o You guys are good. Am I that obvious? XD

Congratulations to Spindle89 and mangoarcher1802 for the correct answer. Also Nocturnas Resting- close but no cigar. O.K. You were far off- but hey I got the joke and thanks for the support- from all of the readers of this story! Especially the guys that review and read this crap :p I meant author notes geez... (Or did I?)

Yes- Holly is six years old. Currently. That would make Dudley seven years old when he died. Sad but true.
