Like, colbasa and borsch Maybe he wasnt familiar with the dishes. But I can make other food, too, she said worriedly.

Ive never eaten those things, but they sound good. I can make scrambled eggs, macaroni and cheese and a couple of other things. Im still learning, he said with an apologetic shrug of his shoulders. But I eat out a bit, so that helps. He was always more then willing to try new food so he hoped that she might make those things sometime this summer so that he could find out what exactly they were.


I thought guide dogs were retrievers? Well, Gypsy must be extra clever. Yes, Im talking about you, girl. Dont go getting a swelled head.

Many are. But in general working dogs do very well, like labs and german shepards. See Gypsys a bit of a mutt, shes got some Shepard in her, but dont tell her or shell be devastated, he said in a stage whisper. He had to attend a special sort of camp that last a few weeks to learn how to actually live with a guide dog and be trained to actually use one. The people there evaluated the persons personality and thus matched him or her with the dog. At their first meeting and a handful of dog snacks, it was love at first sight, so to speak between Gypsy and Daniel. He had tried taking her to Hogwarts the year before last but the moving stair cases and various floating things scared the brown and black husky. So he was forced to go back to the cane to get around.

Hes my mink, and I guess I see him about twice a week. Generally he takes care of himself and ignores me. I dont think hell bother you, and hes smart enough to keep out of Gypsys sight. And Baby Blue, thats my Jobberknoll. Usually she sits on top of high things and stares at walls, or whatever. Strange little bird, but I love her. I guess shes my replacement owl. Is that okay?

Thatll be fine. A mink? Thats sort of strange, Ive never heard of anyone ever having a mink for a pet. But no, Gypsys too well trained to bother any other kind of creature, well cats anyway, but Im sure she wont have any trouble with minks, he told her with a grin. He was sure that the Jobberknoll would be fine as well. He couldnt really remember what it looked like and figured it was probably blue. He had opted into not having an owl, they were too tempermental and with their sharp claws and beaks, it was easy to get hurt around one. If he needed to owl something hed simply stop by the Owl Office in Diagon Alley and have it delivered.

I know that the flat is a bit bare at the moment. You can bring in any furtniture or whatnot. Just tell me about it when you do so I wont run into it. As for the rent, were split it down the middle. As for the electricity, I can pay for that since Ill be using some muggle items, he explained. After she moved in with all of her stuff, he would probably have to use his cane to get around a bit before he got used to the new layout but that wouldnt take all that long. He was excited about finally being on his own outside of a dormitory setting.

So he started. He wanted to know a bit more about his new room mate and started mentally going through a list of questions he wanted to ask her. He liked her so far, she seemed like a really down to earth kind of person. Plus, she hadnt totally freaked out when she found on he was blind. Usually he got some sort of apology when people realized that he couldnt see like it was their fault or something. It didnt bother him all that much but sometimes it did get a bit annoying.

Do you go to Hogwarts or are you done? he asked. Then realizing she might be wanting to move in and not spend a lot of time talking he continued, Oh do you need any help moving in? That isif you still want to stay? he hadnt heard anything in her tone of voice that would indicate that she didnt, but it was still a better idea to ask.
