SPOILER!!: Solly and Aurora <3

Otherwise, you wouldn’t catch Solomon in this mangy place, and he almost skipped over it completely to prioritise Quality Quidditch Supplies, but could have sworn that he had seen his ~~girl~~friend Aurora head inside. Of course he would follow her, although once entering he was very overwhelmed by the sight of a bajillion-zillion owls as well as the stench they had, that he forgot that he was even following Aurora.

He, too, was drawn in by the tiny owlets, because they were almost… cute. Nothing like Olga. He saw the whole event of a girl putting her finger into the cage (dumb) and then proceeding to get bitten (duh).

Solomon was about to snigger but then caught sight of her nursing her bleeding finger. Redder than her hair! “Aw, man… are you okay?” He stepped a little closer so she could hear him over the racket of the store. The sight of blood did make him a little queasy, though. “You shouldn’t put your fingers into the cages, want me to get the shopkeeper?” Hark at Solomon being courteous. Randomly he remembered Aurora being in here somewhere and glanced around quickly.

There was too much going on!!!!

Don’t you worry Solomon, Aurora had been practicing her keen awareness skills and was able to spot one of her bestest friends from across the shop. Or rather she was just an expert at being nosey and the need to be involved in absolutely everything. Despite how pretty the Barn Owl she was currently ogling was, friends were even more important. Especially friends who came with NEW people she hadn’t met yet and therefore could acquire into her group whether they wanted to be or not.

With a little hop skip and a jump, she landed inches away from a display of owl cages that were stacked neatly behind Solomon and which rattled a little as the creaky floorboard she landed on shook under her feet. “I see you!” she giggled tiptoeing to wrap her arms around Solly from behind. She was considering sneaking up on him but she would leave that for when they were back at school.

But now that accosting Solly had been completed, it was time to turn her attention to the red headed girl he was talking to. “HI! I’m Aurora and I’m one of Solly’s bestest friends. Did you get bitten? Sometimes the owls can be a bit temperamental especially if they’re hungry. You should give them a treat as bribery” she grinned, glad to be able to dish out useful advice.

Or at least she thought it was useful advice even if it wasn’t always accurate.

Still clutching her finger, Rowan was feeling overwhelmed. Whatever little appeal the idea of getting an owl had held, it had now gone bye bye. AND she was aware that someone was watching her. She tried her best to look nonchalant. No big deal. No big deal..

But Merlin, she was glad she'd had her tetanus jabs.

Her gaze fell over the other owls. So many of the things.

Her cheeks pinked when the watchful someone moved closer and addressed her, drawing attention to what had just happened. A boy. Clearly he had witnessed everything. “I'm fine.” She said, a nod of the head. “Thank you though.” Non bleeding appendage reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear. She didn't like being seen as flustered. Rowan was usually as cool as ice. And in reply to getting the shopkeeper. “Oh.. no. No thank you. No fuss please. It's just a scratch.”

The boy was around her age by the looks of him. Another Hogwarts student? Perhaps this boy was an expert in owls and could advise her accordingly. Why else would you hang around Eyelops? “Do you know much about owls?” Hopeful, she gave him a small soft smile.

She was about to continue and state what she was looking for. It would have to stay with her in the muggle world in her bedroom and would need to be quiet and not make a mess.. when suddenly they had more company. This time, a girl. An excitable and affectionate girl.

Quite the contrast to Rowan.

Solly, she presumed, was the boy with the mop of curls. She looked from him back to the blonde, bubbly girl, and was actually appreciative for that advice. It made sense. Animals were fickle beings, but you could buy their love with food? “It looked so soft. I just wanted to touch it. Silly really.” She addressed the pair. This was good. They could both help. This Aurora girl seemed like an expert. “Aurora and Solly.” She mentally jotted their names down for future reference. “I'm Rowan.” And despite feeling a little foolish from what had just transpired, it was nice to have company and guidance in here.

“Do you both go to Hogwarts?”
