Margo found herself squished between Harry and Dudley in the back of the car half an hour later. It wasn't the most pleasant experience since Dudley was a very large boy and took up almost two seats by himself. The ride to the zoo was uneventful, aside from Dad yelling at Harry for talking about his dream about a flying motorcycle. Margo reminded herself to ask Harry about the dream later.
It was hot outside today, so Mum bought Dudley and Piers large chocolate ice creams. I asked for a double popsicle for Harry and I to share, but then the lady asked him what he wanted, to which Mum and Dad had to get him something. They got him a cheap Lemon Ice Pop, He was surprised, that it actually tasted well. Margo was just happy that Harry was happy and she was able to spend time with her best friend on her birthday for once.

Due to the fact that she always defended Harry, her brother wasnt very fond of her and neither was his best friend, Piers. Margo didn't like Piers either. She never forgave him after the incident in Year 1, when him and his friends chased her around the school and kept pushing me, causing her to break her arm. Harry had it worse since she had stopped going to their school in Year 3 since she wasn't there to soften the blow she guessed.

Margo only had one or two friends at her new school which was more than she'd ever had before, but Harry will always be Margo's best friend.

For lunch, they all ate in the Zoo restaurant, and Harry was able to get a Knickerbocker Glory as Dudley threw a tantrum. Margo never understood why he threw so many tantrums.

"I think this has been the best day of my life so far." Harry whispered to her after finishing his.

She smiled at him before whispering back, "Me too." Then she snapped a picture of him and his ice cream. Margo felt she had to document today as much as possible.

After lunch, they went to the reptile house at Margo's request. It was cold and dark and she loved it. Her friends at school always said she was odd for liking reptiles but she usually ignored their teasing. Margo dragged Harry along with her to the large Boa Constrictor.

Margo kneeled down before the glass, taking a picture, careful not to disturb the large snake. "You're beautiful." She whispered. The snake was sleeping, so she didn't want to wake it up with the flash. Dudley suddenly pressed his face against the glass, his nose smashed against it. "Make it move, Dad." He whined. Harry and Margo rolled their eyes and continued looking at the snake, trying to ignore him.

Dad taps on the glass, but the snake doesn't move. "Leave him alone dad! He's sleeping." Margo said, moving to get up and help Harry up from the ground, when Piers pushed her back down. Margo glared at the boy as he and Dudley rush over to see the snake move.

Dudley rolls his eyes and whined, "This is so boring!" He shuffles away to look at something probably deadly and violent.
"It must be so lonely in there." Margo said, shocking both Harry and her when they said it at the same time.
"Stupid people drumming their hands on the glass trying to get you to move… Yeah I get that too…" Harry trailed off then freezes.
"Harry?" Margo looked at the boa constrictor and notice something, it looked as if it's trying to communicate with him, and Harry is communicating back. "Wow, that's-"
"DUDLEY, ! LOOK AT THIS SNAKE! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT IT'S DOING!" Piers shouted, his high voice hurting her ears. She found herself wishing she had selective ear plugs. Dudley appeared out of nowhere and punched Harry in the ribs. Margo barely had time to do anything before Piers pushed her into the wall. Well, tried to push her into the wall, as soon as Piers touched her, he flew down the hall, landing on his bum. From there he sat there shocked.
She stood there frozen, staring at him down the hallway. She then heard an ear-shattering scream. She turned around to see the boa constrictor slithering towards her, it's scales glittering in the few lights in the room. It snapped playfully at Dudley's ankles, before brushing against hers. Despite her shock, she reached down and stroked the snake as it passed her on its' journey through the exhibit. People were shouting all around trying to get away from the snake.
She looked up again and smirked. The keeper of the reptile house was shocked to say the least.
