I am an excellent gift-giver.

YES, it's a platypus, and YES, it is pink. And NO, I cannot procure you one, Brown and Patil of Gryffindor. Nor can I tell you where I procured the creature. It's a secret, if you want to know the truth. Some of us have connections and would take care not to lose them

I would be a gigantic bear. Like a Kodiak or a North American Grizzly. Nobody would see that coming I don't think.

[seventhdaughter]

Alternately, if you were a Kodiak bear, people would see you coming for miles around.

[shutterbugaboo]

I would sneak up on them.... or change at the last second. What would you be?

[seventhdaughter]

You would have to change at the last second. If you snuck up on them as a bear they might at least feel the ground move.

And I don't know. Perhaps a bird of some sort.

[shutterbugaboo]

Oh. I always forget about flying when I pick these things. Is there some sort of flying bear?

I think you would make a bloody good hawk.

[seventhdaughter]

I've never heard of a flying bear, but if there is, I've no doubt Parkinson will bring one home soon.

You think? I'd thought something smaller, but I like hawks.

[shutterbugaboo]

I'd go with hawk... nobody likes a bird who flits.

[seventhdaughter]

I don't think you really get to choose your form, do you? And it's not related to your Patronus, right? Because that's a whole different thing entirely.

I like the hawk, yes. I shall perch on your great bear head and go for rides.

[shutterbugaboo]

I don't know actually. You definitely don't get to chose your patronus, or at least nobody I know got to... Oi. There's loads I don't know. Maybe I should get started revising for next year.

That will be fun. The adventures of hawk and bear.

[seventhdaughter]

Indeed! They will write children's books about our zany adventures.
