The door to Y/N's private dorm creaked open, and Mattheo Riddle stepped inside, looking as casual as ever. That is, until his eyes landed on the alligator lounging on the floor, its tail flicking lazily.

Y/N was sitting next to it, rubbing its scaly back, completely at ease. Mattheo froze, his jaw slightly agape.

"Y/N... is that... an alligator?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly as if he wasn't sure if he had imagined the creature in front of him.

Y/N glanced up with a mischievous smile. "Yep. His name's Chompy."

Mattheo blinked rapidly. "Chompy...?" His eyes darted between the alligator and Y/N. "You've got a real alligator. In your room."

Before Y/N could respond, Draco, Blaise, and Theo entered, their eyes immediately locking on to the creature.

"Is that an alligator?" Draco asked, his voice rising in shock.

"Yep," Y/N repeated, her grin growing wider as she watched the boys freak out.

Blaise looked at the alligator, then at Y/N. "Wait—are you seriously telling me you've got an alligator here?"

Y/N nodded, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "He's magical, and he's harmless. He's going to be my new best friend."

Theo, always cautious, took one step back. "Is he safe? I mean, what if he... bites?"

Chompy let out a low growl and stretched lazily, showing off his sharp teeth. That only made the boys step back in even more alarm.

"I think he likes you," Y/N teased, looking at Mattheo, who had taken a step away, clearly unsure of the alligator's intentions.

"I don't know, Y/N," Draco said, shaking his head. "You're telling me that thing's not going to get, like, huge?"

Blaise snorted. "Yeah, you know, for an alligator, they do grow pretty big. What's it going to be, like—massive? Like really massive?"

Y/N shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, yeah, I mean, it could grow huge. But it'll be a while before that happens. He's still a baby right now."

Mattheo raised an eyebrow. "So, you're telling me this tiny alligator is eventually going to turn into a giant one? Like big enough to eat a hippogriff huge?"

Y/N grinned even wider, clearly enjoying their panic. "Yep, eventually. But not for a while. He'll probably get a little bigger, but I can handle it."

Chompy, in the meantime, gave a lazy flick of his tail, and everyone jumped at the noise.

"Y/N," Theo started slowly, "how big do you mean by huge?"

"Like," Y/N said with a wicked grin, "really huge. I mean, he's a magical creature, so it could take him a couple of years to get there... but eventually? He'll probably be the size of a small dragon. Or maybe a massive snake. Maybe even bigger."

The boys stood frozen, blinking in disbelief.

"Wait, you're telling me that this—" Draco pointed at the small alligator now curling up on Y/N's floor. "—is going to be as big as a dragon?"

"Yep." Y/N nodded confidently, her arms crossed over her chest as she watched them process the information. "He's magical. His growth is accelerated, so he'll get pretty massive."

"Massive?" Blaise repeated, his voice rising in pitch. "Like... bigger than your bed massive?"

"Bigger than the room, probably," Y/N said with a shrug, leaning down to scratch Chompy's head. "But it'll be fine. He's a sweetheart. And if he gets too big, we'll just take him out for walks around the grounds. What's the worst that could happen?"

The boys stood there, wide-eyed, mouths open in shock, trying to comprehend the absurdity of it all.

"You seriously expect me to believe that in a few years this thing will be that big?" Mattheo asked, his tone a mix of incredulity and amusement.

"I think Chompy would like that," Y/N said, her tone light as she patted the alligator's back, though it was clear she was having too much fun watching their reactions.

Blaise and Draco exchanged a look, clearly trying to come to terms with the idea of a massive alligator roaming around the Hogwarts grounds. "So, what, in a couple of years, we'll just be walking through the halls and there'll be a giant Chompy snoring in the corner?"

Theo nodded slowly, as if the pieces were falling into place. "You know what? I think I'd rather deal with a dragon."

Mattheo shook his head, still looking from the alligator to Y/N. "This is insane. You've seriously lost it, Y/N."

"Oh, trust me," Y/N said with a grin. "You'll get used to it. And by then, Chompy will be the size of a small house. It'll be hard to miss him."

As the boys processed the idea of Y/N's giant magical alligator, they couldn't help but laugh nervously, imagining the scene of Chompy growing bigger and bigger. They might not have been ready for a giant alligator just yet, but one thing was for sure—life with Y/N was always full of surprises.
