I Come Back to the Water
"You know, Trevor, you're my only friend."
"Ribbit," you reply jumping out of the human's hands. You hated when the human held you, you were a toad for Merlin sakes you liked the heat and dampness not being held. The human didn't close the door so you hop out of the room the human was in and to your dislike all you found was more humans. Who did you have to kill to find some water around here? Why did the human take you from your nice home and bring you on a train of all things? Why did humans always get squeamish around toads? Was it because you had bumpy skin? You look at the human that is looking at you and start hopping on one foot to try and make them laugh but the human just runs into a compartment. Go figure.
You follow the noise in and out of compartment after compartment let down each time by only finding more humans with not a drop of water in sight. After a while you miss your human, he might be touchy and annoying most of the time, but at least he knew to bring you to water. At home, you had a huge tank with plenty of heat and water. Oh, how you wanted to go home right now. You didn't know where the human had gone, wasn't he right behind you?
"Trevor! There you are! When we get to Hogwarts you can swim, but you have to stay in the travel case for now."
Swim? You loved swimming, you settled into the human's chest even though you hated being held there was something about the human that made you tolerate it. You guess you could say that you loved the human, after all, he did feed you and keep you clean. Plus he let you swim, swimming was always a plus.
Once you got to your new home the human let you play in the huge nature area outside. It was a wondrous place with a woodland forest of trees in the distance, a huge pond with mossy rocks all around it, and it even had berry bushes that all your favorite flies love to buzz around. The field was filled with flowers which the human loved, although the pollen was tormenting his allergies he still ran around laughing. You seen a different kind of fly land on a flower, it had matching wings but before you could stick out your tongue to eat him the human grabbed you up. "Trevor that's a butterfly, you don't want to eat that."
"Actually I did, thank you very much, human," you thought, hopping out of his arms once more but leaving the pretty winged fly alone even if it did look delicious. You lazily flick your tongue at one of the flies by the berry bush and catch it easily. It started to rain which made you even happier, jumping around in the grass puddles at were made. Maybe living here wouldn't be so bad - maybe you could get used to living here.
