Caelen ran into the shop, her cheeks red with laughter and tiredness. The redhead was exploring Diagon Alley for a few days until she went back to Nate's house and then.... back to Diagon Alley. This summer arrangement was going in circles and even the kid saw this. Why was she the only one who saw this? Not that the girl with the braid would tell anybody. This was going to be a really fun summer. And she wasn't going to spend it doing something boring. She was spending it with her friends!

And she got to spend half of it with Spencer! And almost all of Hogwarts! Of course, he was going to probably be a Hufflepuff like his older brother, but they could still spend most of it together! And they would be in the same year! Yay!

Looking around atthe shelves, the redhead puffed out her cheeks as she looked at all of the owls. Yeah, she was buying one.Ooops? That was going to be the short girls excuse. The 'they were just too cute and she couldn't resist, please mommy please, I promise it won't mess in the house' excuse. Maybe with a few ice cream sundaes to make it better.

The freckled face girl picked out a brown and white owl and smiled at it like it was a tiny little toy or a banana split.

"Perfect!" Reachingi n her pocket, Caelen found some coins and cheered. She could buy the little thing.
