If it weren't Milli I'd think you were on to something, but Milli doesn't have the imagination to make something up just to hack off a teacher.

It's probably just a stray dog, don't you think? Sometimes a dog is just a dog, not a portentous omen of INCOMING DEATH.

Ha! Yeah.

Actually that sounds like something this bloke at the dragon preserve said one night when we were there. He had a really fat cigar, and he was making out it was the best thing ever. And then he looked really, I dunno, wicked-like. And then he raised his eyebrow and said in this real funny voice 'Sometimes, y'know, a cigar is just a cigar!'

And everyone fell out laughing.

I'm not sure I understand why that's so funny.

But that probably means it was a...

you know. A double entandra.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Um. Yeah.

I think maybe you had to be there. It was just the way he said it, I guess.

She doesn't have much of a sense of humour either!

Well, she tries telling jokes every now and again, but I don't think she knows how. And she gets cross when people laugh at jokes she doesn't get, because she thinks they're laughing at her instead.

To be fair, we usually ARE.

Point!

I'm surprised anyone ever listens to anything that Bulstrode girl says.

Yeah, probably just a stray.

Have you ever met someone who knew someone who saw a Grim and then died? I never know whether to believe that Grims are true or not.

Well. My Uncle Bilius, for one. Saw a Grim and a day later he was dead. Just like that. Inside of 24 hours.

They're real enough. Just most people who think they've seen one haven't.
