"I climb trees all the time in the orchard," he retorted as he reeeeeaaaaaaaached for the cage and felt his fingers brush against the metal. "...AND we have a big cedar tree out back that I climb to the top of ALL the time." So she could go take her insults and stick them up her nose since she seemed to like sticking THAT in other people's business.

And yes, he was totally ignoring the wand comment...because mature like that.

"I'm gonna need you to catch this for me," he announced as his fingers pushed the cage closer towards the edge and blatantly ignoring any reluctance in her voice. He was lacking in stature sooooooo still not reaching it enough to just be able to grab it off the shelf. "On the count of three...one..two...THREE!"

Dooooooooooown went the cage towards the floor.

Emmeline frowned up at the boy's back. She couldn't see the faces he was making, of course, but she recognized the sort of mocking tone that her big brother and his friends liked to use with girls. She shoved the jar of nasty insects she was still holding onto a nearby shelf, and folded her arms across her chest. She looked down at the floor and noted boxes spilling open all over it, as well as plenty of broken glass from smashed jars. Okay, maybe it wasn't REALLY half the shop, but he'd done quite enough damage in her opinion. Remembering that most of those jars had contained nasty insects, she quickly looked back up at the boy as he started talking about climbing trees.

She wasn't listening about the trees, but she had noticed more clearly for the first time that, dumb enough to climb shelves for no reason or not, he might not be younger than her. Which meant he might go to Hogwarts! That was a disturbing thought, because she'd kind of just insulted him and the last thing she wanted was some stupid BOY saying bad things about her to other kids at school. She was slightly comforted by the fact that surely they would be in different Houses, but still... She'd try to be nicer.

So when he very RUDELY threw down the cage with no real warning, she didn't verbally complain when it hit the top of her head going down. Couldn't he at least look before he threw things?! Rubbing her head with one hand where she'd been hit, she took hold of the cage with the other hand and waited for him to come down. Hopefully he could manage that without freeing more bugs.

"Got it!", she called up at the boy as she moved out of his range. She doubted he would look before he climbed down any more than he had when he'd thrown the cage, and she'd been standing fairly close in case he'd fallen. Trying not to step on anything that had fallen on the floor (and not to notice any loose bugs), she moved over along the shelves by a few feet and decided -- finally -- to think about her own owl. Not being half as picky as the boy, she selected a cage that was MUCH closer to the floor. Unfortunately, she was pretty small for her age so she still had to stand on her tiptoes to get at it. Setting the boy's cage down on the floor beside her, she streeetched up as far as she could go, but she still needed just a bit more height...
