Chapter 1
1985 - 1990

I was recently asked in “Care of Magical Creatures” to talk about the pets that I had kept throughout my life. As you can imagine this is a typical question to ask students and yet I wasn’t a typical student. I have resided in the dark forest for long periods of time at a young age, before learning at Hogwarts I learnt from trees, centaurs and snakes. I have never had a pet and I doubt I will ever have a pet. Before coming to Hogwarts I was friends with, and lived with Arber. He is a magical Oak tree on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Let us put a rough age of five to ten, for arguments sake. I remember there being centaurs, bowtruckles, fairies, merpeople and unicorns. These were at least some of them. As I got older and I was allowed to help Hagrid when he went into the woods to collects things and I made a wonderful friend with a snake that had been rescued and brought to the forest at the same time as me. We spoke with each other in parseltongue. Hagrid always told me that the trick with any creature was to learn how to tame them. Fluffy for instance was music. I used to sing to him in the trees.
