I miss Mum! She should come here with Maro and say hi and meet all of my new friends and fly around and run the theif over!

Hey, having a pet squirrel sounds a lot better than a pet owl, right? I should've gotten one of those. The owl might wanna eat him, but I can just teach Maro Jr. to fight backI miss Rei, too. Can we have him to help with the

Maria misses Mama too... can parents visit, uu?

[toothballs]

No idea! We should ask somebody!

[justbelieveinit]

Uu~! A teacher would know, uu!

[toothballs]

Yeah! Know any good teachers around here?

[lord_brat]

Having a pet owl is a lot more useful than having a squirrel. Unless, of course, you are terribly fond of nuts. [Or you are nuts. Wolfram doesn't say that, though.]

[toothballs]

That's why I want both!

[lord_brat]

Then you're asking for a massacre.

[toothballs]

Not if the squirrel knows kung fu.

[wolfenceleste]

Your mother sounds like an interesting person! Does she really fly? [ Ammy is totally picturing something weird. But you know, it could happen. ]

[toothballs]

Yeah, all around the house! She runs over her editor and Rei!

[wolfenceleste]

Oooh! And you want her to visit? [ Meeting more people is always cool in Amaterasu's book. ]

[toothballs]

Of course I do, she's the best mum ever.

[...run the thief over? Must be an interesting woman.]

We have had family-visit days in the past, Miss Kurata. So far, I don't believe anything is planned for this year, but you could always suggest it to your Head of House.

Squirrels have not been popular as wizarding pets -- their attention spans are far below that of the usual familiars. It takes supreme patience to teach a squirrel anything.

[toothballs]

They have to wait for a special day? Even if they're really sneaky?

Mum is really patient. [...but Sana sure isn't]

[bobthewizard]

Especially if they're really sneaky. [or if they get permission from the school, but Sana seems to be doing really well and will probably be all right until the holidays, so he doesn't suggest it.]

Has your mum trained a squirrel before?

[toothballs]

She has a pet squirrel! His name is Maro and he lives on her head.
