His sister called him WHAT? 'Why?' the girl had to ask. Luckily, she didn't voice the first thing that came to her mind, which was 'You don't look like a turtle to me.'

The fifth year could tell that her comments about his pet had hurt Terry. She hated rats, but she was not mean, and offending younger children was most definitely not her daily routine. Come to think of it, her cat Pluto wasn't a beauty, but she was still upset when people called him hideous. And she was fifteen, and a Gryffindor, for Merlin's sake!

'Sorry, I might have overreacted.' Might have, mind you. 'She's actually not that bad. Quite p...' Come on, you can say it. 'Pre...'. Lil' bit more. 'Pretty.' There. She said it.

Terry tilted his head as the girl eyed him, had he done something wrong because he hadn't meant to! And he thought that offering chocolate was a good thing not a bad! "Oh okay" he placed his chocolate frog back in his pocket and thought nothing more of it, maybe he could eat it later when they had been travelling for a while. How long was this journey going to last anyway?

"Ari" he grinned. "It's good to meet you" he replied politely. Something he had learned wandering around Diagon Alley was that everyone favoured the polite greeting and so not to appear rude, Terry would join in with the polite introductions. But he wouldn't shake hands, that was just silly! Old people shook each others hands.

The twelve-year-old didn't mind his nickname, it was better than being called other things and so he was rather fond of it. "Because she's TillyTiger and I'm TerryTurtle, we've always called each other that" he chuckled. And why not? Couples had wretchworthy lovey dovey names and he and his sister called one another animals.

The rat squeaked from within the boys pocket and he tickled her behind the ears affectionately. It curled up into a tight ball and Terry made a mental note that when she woke up, he'd give her a bit of cheese. After all, her comment might've offended Brie, she did seem to have feelings herself.

"She is!" he nodded, especially when she was sleeping and she looked completely peaceful like nothing could awake her slumber. "And it's okay. Lots of girls don't like rats but I think they're really silly." Nothing was wrong with house rats, they were gentle, friendly and most importantly clean. "Do you have a cat then?" he asked because after her reaction to Brie, he was certain she wouldn't own a toad.
