"All right, Whitt."
Cyrus spoke up to remind him. Whitt gave his long whip a fierce flick, and Ron, hanging upside down, crashed to the floor. Whitt transformed into a snow owl, flew back to Cyrus's side, and settled down. "Very good." Cyrus gently patted Whitt's shoulder in praise. Whitt's pale gray pupils seemed to sparkle, revealing the pure and lovely smile unique to a child.
Witnessing Whitt's fierce side just moments ago, Sirius and Lupin could not help silently lamenting as they watched him now acting so innocent and childlike around Cyrus: "True to form... Cyrus's younger brother. In every respect, they really are quite a pair of siblings."
Tonks whispered to Moody, "Why are both siblings so terrifying? Teacher, why didn't you warn me earlier? I thought he was so cute I almost went to pinch his cheeks!"
"That just means you're a fool. Even a child seems more competent than you."
"Teacher, are you just tired of the old and fond of the new? Remus, what are you smiling at? Do you think so too?"
"Uh, me? No, not at all."
