Chapter Ten – What To Do When Your Cousin Gets A VERY Strange Pet
I am really sorry for the wait. I don't own anything, except Gorilla... Although that might not be something to be proud of...
When I say VERY strange... I mean SERIOUSLY strange. Like... The strangest strange stranger of strange. I mean the ultimate strangeness.
I give you three words. Pink, deformed, unicorns.
Lily Potter the second has adopted a pig.
Where do the pink deformed unicorns come into it you ask.
Well, I'm assuming you ask. If not... You've just gotten used to me... Is that a bad thing... Hmmm...
Sorry. Where was I... Oh yeah. Pigs. I guess I'll tell you how we found out she had adopted a pig.
"LILY LUNA POTTER!" Jamie and Ally (don't tell him I called him that) stood at the bottom of the girl's dormitory stairway roaring at the top of their voices.
"Go and see what's up Dom," Vicky asked.
"Nooo... I was talking to Teddy Loops," I wailed, referring – of course – to Teddy Lupin, honorary Weasley and currently sporting purple hair.
"Dom." Vicky said warningly.
I got up and moved very SLOOOOOOOOOOOWLY towards Jamie and Al.
Two things – firstly, I like annoying Vicky. Secondly – she SO wanted 'alone time' with her boyfriend.
Kinda bad 'alone time' though seeing how ALL my cousins were sitting nearby.
"Sup?" I asked my cousins, coming up to them.
"Lily isn't coming down and Professor Flitwick wants her," Albus explained.
I shrugged.
"I'll go get her."
I'm noticing now that it's ALWAYS me who gets involved in these things.
Hmmm... The Universe has it out for me.
I went upstairs to the first years dormitories.
"Lily?" I asked, going in.
There was no answer except a VERY SUSPICOUS snurfling sound. Actually, it was more like a snorfling sound, 'cos it was like a pig snorting and a badger snuffling.
See?
"HI DOM!" she said – very hyperly. Now this is abnormal...
Not the hyper bit. 'Cos Lily Potter is hyper.
A lot.
But Lily Potter standing in front of her bed with her arms wide and her robes still on in the evening is weird.
"What're you hiding?" I asked, trying to look past her.
"Nothing..." she said.
Liar, liar, pants on FIRE!
"Liar, liar, pants on FIRE!" I said.
"What?" she said, putting on this innocent face.
"What're you hiding?"
I tried sidestepping her, but being me, I fell over.
Smooooth...
"LILY!" I wailed. "Your brothers are down there waiting for you 'cos Flitwick wants you!"
"You go down first," she said.
"What're you hiding?"
"A... Pink deformed unicorn!" she squealed.
Okaaaay...
So Lily rockets up in the weirdness charts.
"A pink. Deformed. Unicorn?" I repeated, incredulously.
"LILY!" James' voice came from downstairs.
"Please let me keep it Dom!" Lily said. "It's DEFORMED! You wouldn't want to destroy the life of a DEFORMED UNICORN would you?"
"Let me see this unicorn," I said.
Lily sighed, very reluctantly, and moved to one side.
"Lily Luna Potter. That is no pink deformed unicorn. It is a pig. A pink, very not deformed pig!" I said.
Lily sighed.
"I was hoping you wouldn't notice the pigginess of it..." she admitted.
"Where did you get a pig from?" I asked.
Lily shrugged.
"It was wandering around the grounds, looking hungry!"
"Hmm..." I said, sceptically.
"Really!" she said.
"LILY LUNA POTTER!" Albus yelled from downstairs.
Lily ran out of the room.
I turned to the pig.
It snorted.
I look at the pig.
It looked away.
Hehe. A PIG IS SCARED OF ME...
Is that a good thing?
Please review.
