This is to answer a couple of questions/comments:
In answer to Ankou's question, yes I did create Thora's history by myself.
To Insomniac, I love dragons too. Also, good luck with making those guys leave your mind alone.
Animal Communication
Harry raised his wand and was just about to strike the brick that would open the entrance to Diagon Alley when Thora suddenly spoke up, "Shouldn't we wait for Sirius?"
Harry lowered his arm and looked at her, "I guess your right. I was just in a hurry to show you Diagon Alley." He looked around the alley. "What do you think we should do with Buckbeak and Drake."
Thora looked quickly around the alley. "Maybe we can have Sirius to camouflage them some how. I'm thinking they should be alley cats. What do you think?"
"Maybe." Harry looked around the alley at all of the cats. "How are we going to tell the difference between the real cats, Drake, and Buckbeak?"
Thora looked around the alley and finally said, "I know how I can find Drake but we probably should put some kind of marks on Buckbeak to be able to distinguish him." She began to look carefully at all of the cats. She seemed to be studying their characteristics. As she studied each of them she would stoop down and pet each of them. Each of the cats seemed to enjoy the attention they received from Thora. She looked down at the last cat. She got down on her knees and stroked its head lightly. It purred softly as she placed her hands under its stomach and lifted it up. She held it close to her body and stroked its back softly.
"I always want to keep one."
Harry looked at her. "What do you mean?"
"When I see alley cats, I always want to keep one."
"Why is it that you do not?"
"I don't know. I guess I'm just afraid that it's sick or something. I guess it's just an old habit. I couldn't have a cat at Merices, for some reason they wouldn't allow it." She hugged the cat closer to her. She smiled slightly. "My grandmother was allergic to them, strange, a witch that's allergic to a cat. I always wanted one though. I guess that I'm kind of afraid that a cat and Mercury wouldn't get along to well also."
"You can take a cat to Hogwarts. Is Richard allergic to cats?"
"Not that I know of."
"Why don't you keep that one? I'm sure that Mercury would be fine with it."
"It's a her."
"How can you tell?"
"You'll probably think that it's ridiculous that I have so many abilities, but I can communicate with animals. That is how I got Mercury. I was walking around in the forest behind my house in America. I said something and heard someone talking. I turned around and there on the branch behind me was a huge barn owl. I was surprised to find an owl wide- awake in broad daylight. I was also amazed to find that we could have a complete conversation and understand each other. You would not believe how much an owl knows. We talked for a long time and I finally asked him if he wanted to come home with me. He said he would think about it and if he did, he would return to the same spot the next day when the sun rose to noon. When I went back the next day, he wasn't there. I got ready to leave when he landed on the branch directly in front of me. He apologized for being late and climbed onto my arm. I asked him what his name was and he said Mercury. I understood why, seeing as they're messengers."
"How did you acquire so many abilities?"
"It comes with being… Never mind."
"With being what?"
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you. Not right now anyway."
"I understand."
"There's Sirius!" They watched closely as they saw eagle wing of the hippogriff lower him closer and closer to them.
