Sorry about what happened in Care of Magical Creatures today.

We thought the rat would make you laugh, not make you scream so much. Although we'll admit we didn't expect it to do that.

Really, you just about made our ear drums bleed.

Anyway, since Professor Brutka's giving us detention, please don't feel you need to punish us, too.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

He told us they were experimental rats and that's why we were measuring them and taking their vitals and all to compare with normal magical rats and non-magical rats, but I figured he meant they were a new, y'know, breed that they'd used magic to try to enhance or whatever.

Not that they'd been used for experiments!

That means they're probably-

That means they're probably Carrow's rats.

Like Sebastian.

Uh. I wonder if Sally Anne knows...

I do now.

And I thought surely they were Carrow's rats. Wasn't it obvious?

How awful one of them turned into corn.

I really hope that doesn't happen to Sebastian. It was the petrification that did it? Was it just 'petrificus totalis' or some other hex? Ugh. Maybe I should ask Professor Brutka if there's anything I can do. He seems decent, I don't think he'd tell Professor Carrow I have one of his rats.

Um.

Aren't you a little more worried that Sebastian might turn out to be a carnivorous, attack rat or a cannibal rat like the one Fred and George had?

I mean, maybe Pansy should be worried for Pyewacket! Or maybe you should be worried about letting him ride around on your shoulder like you do. He could bite you in the neck like a vampire!

You don't let him sleep with you, do you?

Pye could tell if Sebastian were to go all wonky like that. Because he's a kneazle, right? And he seems to like Sebastian just fine.

I think it might just be that he'd be that way with other rats? Perhaps because he'd been training them to... you know...

ewww. The whole thing gets me shuddery. Any ways, maybe it was just habit.

Still.

Gross.

Well. I guess it could be good to keep him. That way, if Patil ever decides to curse you with an invasion of rats, Sebastian can just kill them all and protect you.

Of course I let him sleep with me. He's my pet. He's never acted odd, though no one else in our dorm has a pet rat.

[alt_gredforge]

Yeah.
