Sibling Squash by Gus Mills
A three-week-old cub squashes one of its two litter mates during a brief visit by Mills to the den while the mother was out hunting. Mills and his team need to count the cubs and collect DNA from fur samples in order to establish paternity. Such brief interactions do not disturb the cheetahs, and they have never observed any adverse reaction by the mother or cubs.
And today, marks the fourteenth year. On this day, there were those you loved - whom you lost. Today, wands rose and the awful fell. Good folk don’t always come out of bad wars. Fourteen years ago, today, a battle was forged and won by the better but not without loss. And it’s today that we keep them, the fallen of The Battle of Hogwarts, in our memory. Rest in peace, friends.
