Hamsters were not magical creatures.

Perhaps this was why Camilla was having a very, very difficult time finding any real information about hamster care. The Hogwarts library naturally catered to the subjects covered in wizarding education. Oh, there were some general books on the subject of mundane mammals, but nothing really specific. Camilla needed specific information. Care, feeding, maybe whether it was possible to neuter a hamster ... that kind of thing.

Instead, she found herself puzzling over a book entitled Small, Furry, and Eating of Young: The Insidious Relationship Between Hamsters and Latvians. It was ... full of exclamations. Many vehement exclamations. It did happen to contain a brief discussion of neutering, but not in relation to hamsters.

Camilla's eyes had gone very, very wide as she read. She knew it wasn't going to be any use, this book, but it was like the proverbial trainwreck. She just couldn't look away.
