The girl he had approached said that the cat didn't belong to her so he next looked to the shopkeeper as the girl then posed the question to her. And she seemed to know this cat as she called him by name. "Tinker? Oh good, I'd hate for a cat to be lost." He let Tinker jump out of his arms and go over to the girl and weave through her legs. "I think he likes you," he said with a chuckle, smiling at the girl.

Henry glanced back at the shopkeeper lady as she addressed him. "Oh, yeah, I love cats. I have a kneazle." And they were just like cats.


"All my beauties love to stay indoors or would wander around then come back in but not my Tinker. He's different. He likes being outside and more often than not he would get lost.''
Edina had long told herself to keep a closer eye on him but he had slipped away today. "I have a shrewd suspicion he is overly fond of humans so when it gets quiet in the shop he gets away.'' Edina laughed throatily as the cat moved for the girl. "I had a kneazle,'' the old woman continued. "She died. I never did find out how. One night he was frisking about and the next morning...'' Tears welled up in Edina's eyes. The kneazle was still missed.

SPOILER!!: Fiyero

He was especially glad that the rumor his cousin told him about first years not getting to go hadn't been true! He blinked a few times, peering inside Scrivenshaft's. Whoa... look at all the kitties! Was this a quill shop with a bunch of cats running around or a cat shop with lots of writing supplies piled up?

He definitely needed some new quills. All but one of the ones he had at the start of the term were now lost or broken. He must go through quills faster than anyone else at Hogwarts! After perusing the display for a few minutes, he decided to get an everlasting quill... or three. Here's hoping these quills would live up to their name! As he picked up a quill, the cat who had been sitting nonchalantly on the shelf batted at it; he laughed. That's not a toy, crazy cat!

Fiyero's blond head whipped around suddenly as something on the shelf behind him caught his eye. Wait, was that a Gryffindor scrapbook? He could use one of those! He was running out of places to put all the photos he'd taken since the start of the term. He started to pick up a scrapbook, only to find another cat, this time a particularly fat one, sleeping on top of the stack. "Wake up, kitty!" he said. "I need one of those..."

The cat just blinked at him a couple of times before flopping onto its back with an expectant meow. This cat must be a real ham, Fiyero thought, just like mom's. Was he allowed to pet the cats? He assumed so since he'd seen other people doing it. He gave the cat a little tickle under its chin, and it purred contentedly.

Boy, Ariel would love this shop! Fiyero's thoughts turned to his little sister. It was a shame she wasn't here... she loved cats, and she'd been so disappointed when he left for Hogwarts without her. An idea suddenly occurred to him. If Ariel couldn't come to the cats, maybe there was a way the cats could come to Ariel! With one hand still on the cat he was petting, he waved to the shopkeeper. "Miss Shopkeeper?" he said, a little embarassed that he didn't know her name. "Would it be alright if I take a few photos of the cats?" He held up his camera. "It's for my sister... she loves cats and doesn't get to come to Hogsmeade very often." He really hoped she'd say yes!


Edina made her way over to the other customer. She was careful not to trip over her babies that were meowing on the floor. "Why, I do think my babies would like that, young man. You can certainly take as many as you like.'' Edina appreciated him asking first. "I must warn you some of them do not like flashes. I once had another customer who tried taking their pictures and she got scratched. The one you're petting likes to be in the limelight so she's safe to take a picture of.''
