Dragons!

Well, I never thought I'd be interested in dragons, but it was really exciting. And nift to see the eggs close up.

The best part though was the end when we talked about the ways dragons get used. The livers and hearts and all. Oh, only when they've died naturally, I guess, because killing them just for their hearts is bad. Well, they say it's bad. But I dunno - some of those dragons seem awfully fierce.

It was interesting to hear how they keep them on the reserves. I mean centuries ago they used to roam free and they'd take whole sheeps and deer and everyone was really afraid they'd get snapped up or breathed fire on or something. So it was good to know that they have enough food to keep them from wanting to fly off, and ways to keep them in the preserve areas.

Oh, Ron, it's almost impossible to believe that was your brother. He's nothing like you at all, he's so much more impressive!

I know what you mean, Patil. It's really brill to hear from people's older brothers and sisters, and learn about what they do. Your brother, for instance, when he gave his talk, it was pretty nift to see what all he was doing, helping with murders and all that. He was a lot much more interesting than you are.

Well, I think that's only natural, don't you, Parkinson? I mean everyone's older brothers have had more time to do interesting things than we have. Like Belinda's cousin, Geoffrey, he's been to the camps and his father's in the Department of Mysteries, and he knows all sorts of things we don't know yet.

And Melinda's brother, Ned - well, he was Head Boy last year and everyone knows him, and I know you know him pretty well, too - but now that he's left school I'm sure he's got a lot more stories to tell than when he was here with all of us.
