"Quidditch is fun but I'm too young to play," he said in response to his mum's question about the last time he had fun. "But I like it on the wireless."
"Yeah!" he said in regards to the swear jar, much enthused. "When we have enough sickles, can I buy a broomstick? Or...no, a dog! Can we get a dog, mum?"
He looked up, hopefully. His dad said that a dog was 'out of the question' but Gabe had met a really nice one in town and was sure that if they had one at home, his dad would like it too.
"Da said no dogs 'cause they growl at him but we saw a dog in town and it was nice and licked his hand, so they aren't all mean. He must've just known some mean dogs before. So, can we get one?"
