To pass away the time on his newly embarked train ride Harry distracts Karug with... pokemon cards! "Maybe this way you will learn some manner and not go about attacking people!" Harry said.

Harry takes out his pack of pokemon card and begins to explain but just then Kraug goes absolutely berserk with fear because the train began moving. She, Kraug, has never even seen a train until today much less rode in one while it's on the go! she freaks out and starts biting and scratching, fouling herself with her impotent rage.

"Kraug no like! make stop! Make stop!" she implored Harry furtively while her gnarled hands clabbered against the walls viscously...

Harry had no idea what was going on!

"Quit spazzing out, Kraug, everyone on this train will think we're uncool!" Sirius wailed in a dervish of worry for his fledgling reputation. it would not do for him to have spent so long escaping for Azkaban just to be lumped in with the dorks and retards on his first day back at hogwart!

Sirius hid his tear stung face behind his knobby hands. "shhh shhh now, that's okay darling," Harry tried desperately to console Sirius...

But Kraug was still raising an awful ruckus right there in their compartment!

"Noooooooo!" Kraug yelled in a general sense of negation. With a metallic groan and crucnh she wrenched up one of the train-seats from the floor, bolts and rivets cracking, straining and finally yeilding to the powerful girl with plaintive metallice screeches.

"Kraug!" Kraug yelled in triumpH as she flailed the seat wildly above her head. She hurled it with all her rage and it blasted out the window, sending shards of broken glass everywhere.

Just then Harry got a wickedly clever idea. He took all the nyquil gel caps he had packed and also all of Sirius' as well. Then he opened up the packets and he had a handful of them which he rolled across the debris strewn floor, the bright green color of hte liquid gel-caps and their hypnotic rolling movement immediately caught Kraugs frenzied, bloodshot eyes and she pounced!

"Kraaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug!" She fiercely roared. Kraug began snuffling at the floor like an over eagre dog, lapping up all the nyquil gel caps she could while also severely lacerating her face with glassen shards...

"Good thinking Harry," Sirius congratulated Harry; "after the two of us witnessed Kraug pouncing on Neville when he walked by with a chocolate bar and then ripping out his throat and stealing his delicious treat you were able to deduce that she would enact upon similar behaviours when once more confronted by the sight of 'food' moving past her! Obviously Kraug has never left her dank and darkling prison before today so she would have no way of telling that a handfull of Tylenol Liqui-Gel-Caps rolled across the floor aren't actually food per se! What a clever trick you just did! And it seems to be paying off already!" Said Sirius as he pointed to Kraug who was looking much calmer now than before because of all the medication she ate...

Harry nodded his head in acceptance... It was true... Every word of it...

"Now then," he said, whipping out his pack of pokemon cards, "time for us to play us some pokemon cards."

Kraug, drooling a bright viscous green rope of drool which flopped lazily against her head, looked at Harry vaugely...

Hmmmm, thought Harry, maybe this wasn't such a great idea afterall... At the best of times Kraug only barely understood spoken language and was volatile and confused as ever, her pupils were starting to look a bit overlarge and Harry wondered if he had possibly given her maybe too too many cold pills...

But just then before he could even begin teaching Kraug Pokemon a pair of African American students entered the compartment because why would I have black character in my stories if I'm racist asshole stop calling me racist n the reviews. "Oh great," Harry sighs. But Dean and Lavender don't appear to hear him properly over Kraug's raspy stertorous and belaboured breathing. "Is she alright?" Asks Lavender, who is visibly pregnant, to Harry.

"Don't even worry about it," Harry said, swiping most of hte borken glass off the remaining seats and offering for Lavender to sit with him there. Her black hair whips about frantially in the wind from the shattered window, "bit brisk in here," Dean says by way of introduction and he sits down too.

Anyways, since Lavender Brown is pregnant that's what they, in the compartment alongside Harry, Kraug and Sirius, talk about now: let's take a closer look!

"I've always wanted to get pregnant and now would you just look at what's happened but I am!" Lavender explained.

Sirius twirled his long black hair wistfully, "it sure is impressive... getting pregnant so young that is," he added sheepishly, ever since he had spent the last several decades being tortured by Dementos in Azkaban he was a little shy and wary around other people but luckily Lavender seemed to accept what he had to say to her with grace.

"Yes," she agreed benignly.

There is pained, awkward silence for the next five minutes. They go back to talking about Lavender Brown's pregnancy eventually.

"What I wonder is how will you attend your class with a baby all the time!" Harry laughed and slapped high five with Sirius, this stupid girl didn't even think of that!

"Oh Dean I told you I can't have the baby in the classes!" Lavender said nervously to Dean, it appeared to Harry that he had indeed touched upon a sore spot...

"Hmm, well we will just have to figure it out as we go along," said Dean; "Besides isn't that what life is really all about?"

They all thought about this for a minute and nodded their heads slowly.

"What about a baby monitor!" Sirius chims in, his boyish excitement bringing a rosy flush to his gaunt cheeks.

"Oh yea-" Lavender started initially enthused, but then;"tschk, I forgot, Hogwarts doesn't allow any type of technology can work there!"

"Fuck!" Harry screamed, he grabbed a rather large sheet of broken glass from Kraugs earlier rampage and slammed it into the wall out of frustration! "We'll never figure this out you guys! It's fucking hopeless!" Harry stomped up and down angrily, breaking the glass even more and more and making it sharper then ever!

Dean slid a hand around Harry's robs and pulled him close. His minty breath whisked across Harry's perspiring brow sweatly, "hey" he purred in a sweet undertone meant for Harry's ears and his alone, "we'll figure this out, you'll see", he booped Harry's nose playfully and eventually the boy who lived favored him with a demure smile...

"If only there was some sort of low tech monitor we could use..." Lavender Brown wailed in consternation.

That's when Luna finally chims in, "What about..." she says leadingly then turns to rummage about in her sack eventually pulling out a seven foot long adult male Monitor Lizard, "...one of these bad boys!" She proclaims, glad to have finally supplied a solution to this damning quandary...

Dean came in for a closer look and the giant reptile reared up at him threateningly, "coooooool" he said, "I always wanted one of this! Thanks Luna!"

Luna blushed primly then did a sort of unintelligible half curtsie, "it's no big deal, I just figured if you wanted something to monitor your infant child then what better than a Monitor Lizard!"

Harry finally joined in with everyone else in the compartment laughing once he figured out Luna's clever joke; "oh because they both have monitors in the name!"

Luna nodded enthusiastically. "Yes," she agreed.

"Everyone knows these types of lizards love to watch things! Thats why they get their name! BUT! did you know? that monitor lizards are actually very intelligence as much as some birds like ravens and even dolphins; studies had proven a while ago that monitor lizards can count up to six*! So this would be the perfect 'baby monitor' for your dollar *(Some species of monitors can count; studies feeding rock monitors varying numbers of snails showed that they can distinguish numbers up to six.[41])

"But how do I know my baby is in safe hands, or in this case er- talons with this monitor lizard?" Lavender wanted to know.

Dean perked up his ears at his lovers queery, he too wondered if his baby would truly be in safe talons with such an enormous reptile...

"Don't worry you guys," Luna soothed, "the highly toxic venom Monitor Lizards secrete can kill instantaneously so you know no one is going to mess with your baby with one of These guys around!

Lavender didn't look quite convinced just yet..."oh alright, but what would such a venomous and watchful lizard like that even do with my baby for so many hours completely alone and unsupervised together though?"

"Dont worry about that! Monitor Lizards love to play! Two species of tree monitor in British zoos have been observed shredding leaves, apparently as a form of play.[40]Kane, D; Davis, AC; Michaels, C (2019). "Play behaviour by captive tree monitors, Varanus macraei and Varanus prasinus". Herpetological Bulletin (149): 28–31. doi:10.33256/hb149.2831." said Luna in an attempt to convey how playful Monitor lizards really are...

"That is pretty cool" Lavender agreed reluctantly. She reached out to take the giant animal from Luna, it snapped at her face missing by mere centimeters as she frantically jerked her head back, the sharp fangs closing with a wicked snap right before her very eyes, "thanks Luna," she said while struggling to restrain the clearly enraged beast, its shiny reptilian body writhing and flailing frantically in her grasp.

Harry smiled primly at this display and with no small amount of nostalgia, Lavenders desperate attempts to mollify the irrate beast in her lap sure reminded him of Kraug...

Harry contented himself looking at Kraug for a while lost in pleasant reverie until Lavender absolutely wailed out in pain!

"Oh God Dean! DEAN HELP IT'S GOT MY FACE IT'S GOT MY FUCKING FACE AAAAAAAAAAAA!" Lavender wailed. It would appear that the fiesty squirming reptile had managed to hook one of its wickedly sharp talons into Lavenders cheek! Blood was gushing absolutely everywhere!

"GET IT!" Lavender continued to screech in a dervish of fear, "GET IT DEAN GET IT GET IT!"

Dean, for his part, had conjured up a steel baseball back and was wailing away at the viscious reptile with everything he had.

"HSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" The monitor lizard was only growing more infuriated with each accumulated blow. It tried to yank its claws out of Lavenders gore flecked face but only managed in yanking her forward, toppling both of them off of the seat and onto the glass strewn floor!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Lavenders wails redoubled as she crunched against all the doulbe and triple broken glass, each piece had become twice as sharp as it had been.

A squad of prefects rushed into the room to help!

"What the fuck is that thing!?" Yelled Percy Weasely in absolute terror. He began firing powerful hexes at the blood coated beast which finally extricated itself from Lavenders face and spun about to face its new opponent.

Percy backed up against the wall as the enraged beast slithered toward him, pouring like deadly green water across the floor. With trembling hands he once more raised his wand to fire off a volley of hexes and jinxes.

"NOOOOO! Don't hurt it, it's for the baby!" Lavender wailed. She rushed forward, attempting to place herself between her precious lizard and the hexes being shot at it. The lizard, ever watchful, caught the blur of movement out of the corner of its eye and lightning fast whipped around to latch onto Lavander, it's talons this time lodging themselves in her wrists and thighs!

Harry, beginning to feel quite the third wheel afterall subtly caught Sirius' eye, and under the cover of the commotion manage to quietly let themselves out, dragging Kraugs semi conscious body out by the ankles with them, his Pokemon Card left forlorn and forgotten by his seat...
