I forced them. Now they're forcing me. I forced them to come to Diagon Alley today and they're forcing me into the Magical Menagerie. I don't need an animal. The company of books is enough for me. But not for them. They think I'm too lonely. Well, I admit, I am indeed a bit lonely but that's okay! Well, I don't mind. But it bothers my parents. For them, you have to have lots of friends to be happy. They don't understand that I don't need it. I have my books, I have silence, and I am happy. I really don't understand their persistence.
- Come on, darling. This little trip to the Menagerie won't do you any harm! Do you know what? Here you go. Here's 10 Galleons. Buy yourself an animal of your choice. We'll be at the Leaky Cauldron with your father. See you there!
And they stood me there, in front of the Magic Menagerie, 10 Gallons in my hand. And what do I do? I stand still and stay there. Of course, I end up going in. But my mother's speech made me very irritated.
I enter the shop. The bell rings. I am in a sullen mood. Not any more. All the little sounds that reach my ears are so comforting... I feel better. Why are parents always right? Especially my mother. It's so annoying sometimes. I smile at the antics of the Pygmy Puffs. They're really great. When I ask the lady at the counter for their price, I'm quickly disappointed. 20 Gallons. Double what my mother gave me.
A meow startles me. I turn around. It's a beautiful grey cat that has just meowed. A really lovely cat. I get a little closer. The cat is lying in its cage. I put a finger between two bars and stroke its soft head. The old lady at the counter has seen everything. She says:
- Her name is Blueberry. She seems to like you...
Blueberry... I repeat this name in my head. It's beautiful. If I could, I would buy it right now. It's so cute! But first, I have a few questions for the lady. How old is Blueberry, what does she eat, what is her character...
- Tell me, how old is she? What is her character?
- Blueberry is a very cuddly cat. When she chooses someone (you, in this case) she loves her and doesn't let go. She is obedient but loves to play. She is born on the 21st of March of this year.
- March 21? That's my birthday!
- So Blueberry is for you. I'll give it to you for 10 Galleons.
I am happy, happy, happy! And the little voice didn't even bother me. It must agree with me. As I take the 10 Gallons out of my bag, the lady puts Blueberry in her basket. It's fantastic. But I still don't understand why parents are always right...
