SPOILER!!: Jenna and Henry

"I'm not sure if you're allowed in there, kitty," he said, giving the friendly cat a scratch behind the ears before picking him up. Maybe his owner was inside. And now that he thought about it, the thirteen year old remembered that the shopkeeper kept a bunch of cats inside. She probably wouldn't mind, or it might even belong to her.

Carrying the purring cat into the store, Henry headed towards the first people he saw, which happened to be the shopkeeper and a girl he'd guess to be a couple years older than him. "Hey," he smiled, trying to get their attention. "Either of you lose a cat? I found this little guy outside wanting to get in."

"Oh! Oh, yes, I love cats," she replied, her eyes lighting up when she saw the cat in the shopkeeper's arms. "I love animals in general really." Cats were certainly among her favorites though. And Truffles seemed like an absolute sweetheart. "Hello, Truffles," she greeted the cat, smiling and gently scratching Truffles' head. Her attention returned to the woman at what she offered next though, and her smile widened. "I would love to hold her!"

This was easily becoming her favorite shop in Hogsmeade. More shops ought to have adorable animals hanging around.

And then a younger boy appeared, also holding a cat from outside. She smiled and shook her head. "I haven't lost one. Is he yours?" She looked back at the shopkeeper.


"Wonderful. I am always suspicious of anyone who dislikes cats. Those are shifty persons.'' Edina had lowered her voice while saying this. Truffles meowed in her arms when scratched. "I can trust you. Truffles can trust you. All my cats can trust you.'' The snow white kitty was handed over as the cat meowed even more and tried to paw at the girl's nose.

Edina decided she would go see what her other kitties and customers were up to and if her customers needed any help. She got side tracked by another one of her kitties and a boy. "Now now. Have you been wandering outside again, Tinker?'' Edina gave a tinkling laugh. "Yes he is one of mine. Truffles and Tinker are actually best friends. Do you like cats too, young man?''
