They could pet the bird?

NEAT!

After watching someone else step away from the Augurey she promptly stepped up and offered it a wide smile. "Hi there little guy." Lex petted him affectionately. It was official. She wanted one for Christmas. Now the question was...how would she get her father to say yes this time??? He wasn't too thrilled the last time she asked for one but now she could tell him that she got all close and personal with one and didn't go all hostile 11 year old on it. BEAM. He'd be so proud.

She ran her hands along it's feathers for a bit longer before taking her place with the others once more.

Diricawl? She'd heard about those too but up until now she didn't have a legit reason to want one--"They can disappear and come back whenever they want?!" Okay. Now she wanted one.
