[Lily's accent is probably what most people would consider when they think British/English accent. Every word is nearly well formed, particularly when they contain 'h' (even when they don't - ar is a soft Ah), and every word is clear. Both crisp and rounded. Her voice, however, doesn't carry low as Hayley's though she is as softly spoken - when Lily gets excited she speaks faster (much faster) but not louder. ]

[The flickers on, slightly shaky, and settles on a pair of feet clad in shoes and dark sugar cookie beige colored tights. And a cat. There is a cat staring straight at the camera, comfortably on it's owner's foot.

The camera moves back slightly before all that is shown is the wood of a table. When is lifted up again it settles on this:]


[Up. Close. And personal. The camera immediately zooms back until it displays a bettershot. The cat looks like it's contemplating eating the tablet before it settles on licking itself, still watching the tablet - a mix of murder and impassiveness on it's expression. It becomes very obvious that the cat is to be the star of this vlog. ] Hello everyone! This is Firecracker. My cat. Actually, he is more of a Potter family cat but he likes me [There is a pause.] -- occasionally the best. I thought since some of you were sharing your pets, it would be best for me to ... [There is another pause but this one is clear hesitance.] to warn you all about Firecracker. No, perhaps warn is a tad harsh.

Firecracker isn't hostile so much as -- [...] disconcerting! In appearance. Yes, and um, he -- he hates most everyone equally. Therefore, I wouldn't suggest [...] petting him. [As if it this was a trigger word, Firecracker stops licking abruptly and looks even angrier. ]



[He is eerily quiet. Simply golden eyes staring straight at the camera.]

Ever. Unless you are near me, Lily Potter, and he deigns to give you permission. He's a smidgen arrogant; therefore, I assure you that 'deigns' is the correct word.

[As if bored of this entire set up, Firecracker jumps off the table gracefully and the camera tracks his move. He finds his way toward a glass door and yet another cat joins him. It doesn't stay friendly for long.]



He doesn't attack without provocation. Even then, he's more likely to leave dead things as a sign of vengeance [...] or affection, we haven't quite figured that out yet. It's honestly a toss up. Yet I thought people should know what he looked like. He can be rather bossy and he -- [The tiger cat takes a swipe at Firecracker who had been minding his own business basking with a superior tilt of his head in the sun. This quickly changes as he shoots the camera a look like he's part of the Office. Like he's saying 'Why do I put up with this bs? Take this fool away before it dies'] Oh for bl - [Lily stops herself short.] One moment please. [She places the camera on the table and her shoes catches the camera again. Soon there is a sound hissing.] Dad? DAD! Moody is being a pest again. Dad, please come get - for crying out loud.

Can't you ever behave when I'm -

Hey what's this? [The camera caught a male voice - For those of you listening in (and who follow WWN evening news) that is most certainly NOT Harry Potter. The camera lifts and catches a profile.]



Lils, Lily. Lilybean. Do you think this is a good angle for my close up? [The man continues to wiggle his shoulders goofily.]

James! James. Stop being a pest and help me with your cat. [Lily states still off camera.]

[James rolls his eyes but does as ordered.] Fine, fiiiiiine. Pushy much? [He shoots the camera a wink before shutting it off.]
