An animal. Swan has always wanted to have an animal. It was true; He had felt so lonely since he was very young and wanted a little beast to snuggle up on in good times and bad. His nanny tried to console him but it didn't change anything about what it was; He still had no one, no affectionate little beasts that he had always wanted. A friend, a real one, was what he really wanted. His parents, in his eyes, heartless, did not want anything who gesticulates and is hairy in the house. It was a no.

This year, Swan felt like his parents had changed. Since his first magic, they no longer spoke to him as if he were a Muggle neighbor and they were satisfied when he did a good thing, which didn't happen before. He had also received his letter at Hogwarts, his mother was almost smiling and his father had given him a new cape. Magic changed things! Maybe he would succeed in getting something out of this, maybe he would have a reward! Maybe he could try to ask for an animal... For Hogwarts!

The day he wanted to go to Diagon Alley, August 2, when he still had no supplies, he planned to go to the magic menagerie. He went to see his parents to explain the situation to them but they were yelling at each other, for no reason. Well, according to Swan, he didn't understand anything his parents were saying. "Doux Jésus*, he'll go to either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff! Our child has a heart of gold, I remind you!" said his mother. "Gryffindor or Slytherin will welcome him certainly. He is strong! Not sweet sweet." By listening to them as best he could, he understood that they were talking about Hogwarts houses. He kept it to himself, but was certain that neither Gryffindor nor Slytherin was suitable for him.

He hit his forehead, tired of his parents' bickering and started saying "I still don't have my school supplies. Can we go there?" with little angel eyes. He had other intentions, but the most important thing, in the eyes of his father and mother, was academic. His parents said it was correct, and his plan was going according to plan. On a flounder, they had made it to flourish and blotts in no time and everything was easier. His plan was went wonderfully well and he was proud of it.

His supplies bought and on his way back, he stopped dead in front of a shop. "Magical menagerie" was its name. He was a little sad, you could see it in his face. "Father, mother, I would like an animal. Whether it's to study it, or to remember my wonderful moments spent with you, I feel that I need it. Don't you?" Without waiting for his priests s to answer, he entered the shop, greeted the employees and began to walk around. His mother put her head next to his. They greed the cats.

The latter, a little less cold than her father, began to say "this cat is pretty. Is that your type? Is this the one you want?" One would have guessed that Swan did not hear him, so much was he absorbed by the eyes of this famous cat. "Yes... Yes!" When they got to the counter, Swan was so happy that he almost jumped on the spot. "What do you plan to call him, given that he's a male?" Swan looked at her, devilishly. "Francesca. I love the name!" His mother, inwardly, giggled. Francesca for a male!?

Once he was out, it was his father who slapped his palm on his temple. "David! Meet our new companion, Francesca!"
