Yea, the one I was having trouble with. This is how Scabbers came to be. I think the point of view changed somewhere in-between, but please do enjoy.
Scabbers
"Mum!" eight year old Charlie yelled at the top of his voice, "Look what I found!"
Molly came running down the stairs, worried that her son may be hurt, or in worse trouble. She had just told Bill and Charlie to de-gnome the garden.
Charlie held out a grey colour shriveled up looking creature- a mouse!
"Charlie! Put-it-down!" Molly chided.
She was tired of his obsession with animals.
"It could be poisonous!"She added worried.
"But mum, look here, he's hurt. He has lost a toe and his wound is afresh. We need to heal it."
Molly bent to see a blood clot on the tiny underside of the rat. She sighed looking at the innocent concern on her son's face. She couldn't say no.
"Get him inside; I'll look up some cure!" Molly said, summoning a book on pet care.
It didn't have very much on rats; they were after all not very common pets. She decided to use up her very own magic.
She pointed her wand and muttered a silent spell. The blood clot began to heal. The rat looked up gratefully, not looking as shy as he first did.
Charlie was delighted at the discovery of this new pet, his new friend. It trained really easily. It could soon run on wheels, sniff around for the right kind of food and understand Charlie's language. The rat served more than one purpose; it would defiantly support Charlie anytime he got into a fight with one in the family. He had chosen him name-Scabbers.
"That rat is very odd," Molly Weasley confided in her husband," It seems to have a very high IQ level for a rat."
"Don't be worried Molly, every species has a specimen, "Arthur consoled her.
It was the 22 nd of August, Percy's birthday, that Molly and Arthur felt extremely proud of their sons.
Charlie had searched and looked everywhere, but had failed to get a gift for Percy. In a fleeting moment of emotion, he had gifted Scabbers to Percy.
"ooh, ickle Percy is a prefect!" Molly cooed,holding up the prefect badge delighted.
"What do you want as a reward?" she asked smiling.
"An owl, perhaps?" Percy asked hopefully.
"Of course, my dear," Molly smiled.
That evening Percy proudly held his new pet owl, Hermes.
"I've decided," he announced," to give Scabbers to Ron."
And with that, the rat got passed on a second time
Scabber was loitering around the household when he overheard Molly and Arthur talking.
"It seems like,HarryPotter will be in the same class as Ron," mr. Weasley was saying.
Scabbers paled. Potter. The name gave him chills. He felt a mixture of emotions- hate anger and guilt.
But from that day Scabbers changed. He was no longer the delightful pet, waiting to be accepted. He became moody and boring. He had once again realised he couldn't always stay a rat. He would have to face reality one day.
Reviews will cheer me up! And i need a lot of cheering up with my exams next week =)
