If you're a "think outside the box" kind of person, you just might find yourself wandering closer and closer to this particular observation area. It's an area set aside for the creatures that don't really fit into any of the other categories. They're the miscellaneous group, but don't take that to mean they aren't super special in an awesome kind of way!

If you're one to walk on the wild side as far as your pets go, you might be interested in a jarvey, puffskein, niffler, raven, or bat. Not exactly for the faint-hearted, but hey--these little guys need loving, too! So step right up and take a look! Who knows? Your new forever friend just might be waiting for you!

She was just on her way to pick up a few more items for Cutty, when Sue was stopped short by an offense smell. Cutty, though, did get his keen olfactive sense and curiousity from someone and she decided to pull in and have a look.

'23rd British Pet Adoption Fair' The signage read. Ah, so that was the smell. She stepped in, muting the clacking of her open-toed shoes as she peered into the cages. She paused at the Jarvey cages and knelt down. "Hellooo." She cooed softly to one of them, trying to get it to speak. She could see the jarvey stretch out, wiggle it's little nose, scamper over and with sweet blinking of it's little seed-bead eyes she heard it say something which when pieced together sounded an awful lot like, 'Turn around, toots! It's called wrinkle cream!'

Soheir stood from her kneeling position feeling quite sure that whatever she walked away with that day it could not be a Jarvey. She would never be sure whom was influencing whom between Cutty and the creature.

She was meant to meet Felix possibly at the table...she was but then she saw this REALLY CUTE Jarvey across from her--nevermind how rude it was being, that was typical Jarvey behaviour right there. The creature was only the start. She saw him then someone else leaving with a bat and before long she'd walked over to the observation area.

Walking along she pulled immediate breaks at the Puffskein. EEeeepp!!! Forget helping her brother find a pet, she wanted one...two...who said she had to stop at two? There technically wasn't a limit....no....and while she was at it...those over there looked nice too.

Maybe walking in here wasn't such a good idea, besides, she still needed to find Felix. He was probably the only way she'd be able to walk around this place without trying to pocket and cuddle everything here.

Pity they didn't have baby unicorns or dragons.

Anya dragged Jake around as she checked out ALL the animals. What did she want? There was soooo many of them. She ran from cage to cage before being distracted by... a bat.

A BAT!

She tugged on Jake's arm and pointed excitedly. "WANT!"

Jake had no idea what possessed him to let Anya talk him into coming here. It wasn't that he didn't like animals, but giving his wife have free range of the pet adoption probably wasn't his best idea.

... case in point.

"A bat?" He tried not to show too much negative emotion toward the creature that Anya wanted to get. He stood slightly behind her, watching the creature... do nothing. At least it wasn't flying around, right? It wasn't so bad just... doing nothing. "...Okay." Really, he wasn't going to tell her she couldn't have what she wanted now, after he already said she could have her pick.

Anya continued to watch the bat. "It'sitcute!" Jake was looking right? Because. rkgheklgjhearjkl! ADORABLE! "Can we get one?"

PleasepleasePLEASE!

She wanted one. Now. Where did they go to get one?

And just for good measure, the brunette practically shoved Jake toward the bat. Nowwwww would he be more enthusiastic?

A bat. Anya really, actually wanted a pet bat.

He stumbled slightly when she pushed him closer, and his face ended up much closer to the bat than he wanted to be. And... it actually wasn't too bad. It actually sort of looked like a little bear. ...Huh.

"This one?" he looked back at Anya. Then back at the bat. ...Then back at Anya.

... "You should go fill out one of those applications." That was required, right?

Anya shrugged. "I don't know how it works or if we get to pick one." And then she nearly squealed. "But they're all cute."

She looked at him and bounced on her feet. Hewasreallysayingyes? Like... for realz? Because... she was super excited! This was how they were starting their life together -- WITH A BAT!

"Yeah. Let's go!" BEAM!

Jake laughed. Anya was so cute. He loved her.

He grinned as she got all beamy and excited. Who knew a bat could do that to her. It was weird. But she was weird, too, so it kind of made sense. And when he said 'for better or for worse,' he figured that meant in pet choices too.

He took her hand again and led her toward the applications. He was such a good husband.

Bart wondered over to the pet adoption thing. The animals were all to tame really. The best ones were the toads, but his frog Toad was squirming in his pocket so he didn't really need another one. Now that Charely had taken over watching him duty since his mom needed rest he knew he couldn't just get away as easy, but since Luc was with them maybe they could move further away.

His eyes filled with excitement when he noticed an area that wasn't just the usual pets. "A Jarvey, niffler, bats? Cool" His pace picked up, "Come on Luc maybe Charely will let us bring one of these home. The niffler could work well in woods." The could find hidden treasure if there was any. Which there probably was, he suspected something funny went on in the woods near the house either that or he just watched to many shows with thieves lately.

"Quick, while Wade's distracting Uncle Charely!" Luc last said before somewhat pushing Bart ahead to somewhere. ANYWHERE but his loving Uncle's watchful eye. Phew. "Okay, I think we're alright around here." They were on a mission, you see. Luc was okay with the whole being watched- actually scratch that, he HATED being watched at all times. Durmstrang didn't appreciate this fact and now look where Luc was going soon, heh.

Taking his new surroundings, "Wow, look at all these creatures!" Luc glanced back, he didn't see Wade in sight. Good. He was thankful there was no hippogriffs in sight, did the world NEED to see Wade running after another one? Well, Luc didn't care to know, especially after hearing Bart talk about some. "Niffler?" Barty boy was right you know, there HAD to be some treasure waiting to be found.

"You know, that actually sounds kind of neat. We could have him trained and get all the money in the world from selling whatever he finds." For their big future plans they had.. and they would need the money for it. He then went on to check out some of them. "Maybe we talk with Wade over getting it for us if Uncle Charely doesn't for whatever reason want it." What he doesn't won't hurt him. LITERALLY.

Money.. See this is why Bart needed Luc he thought of that kind of stuff where Bart thought of other things. They were a good team, it was the best part about his mother getting with Charely. Even if he had come to kind of like or at least tolerate the man. Luc was the silver lining out of it all. He would say Wade as well, but Wade had that annoying girlfriend, so Wade just was alright now. "Good idea, because the niffler will find us awesome treasure." Of course it would that's what they did.

He went closer to the animals to get a better look. "Don't make me laugh, Indy would never allow it. She has him so wrapped around her finger and the minute he would say he was getting it for us she would shoot it down just like her stupid reasoning behind my frogs not allowed in the pool." He was still mad about that by the way.

"Which should we try to get?" He eyed them all. Were they allowed to touch them or was this just looking. Well he wanted to touch them, "Hey can we touch the Nifflers?" It wasn't really directed towards anyone and it wasn't a question so to speak because he was already leaning with his hand to touch one.

Luc was quite glad that his Uncle Charely's girlfriend had a cool dude for him to hang out with.. even if he got into trouble a lot. But OH WELL. Luc didn't care, unless it had him involved somehow. So now they were planning to get a Niffler, it was EXCELLENT. "Then once we get enough money, we can buy the stuff to get started on that potion of ours. Otherwise we can just borrow from the cupboard at Hogwarts." See, Luc planned far ahead, and he would only say 'TOO BAD' to those who couldn't keep up with his mind, now that he was fine and dandy again.

He squinted a little at Bart, of course, Luc didn't hate Indy though he had a point on her control over Wade, "It's all because of that icky love stuff they have going on." True stuff, Luc believes that love makes the brain go WACKO at times. The incidents with him and Demetria PROVED that.. As for those frogs, "Oh don't worry, as soon as she's gone in that little house of hers with Wade we'll have the pool all to ourselves again." See, sometimes Luc could find a good in this.

Now what to get.. Luc was eyeing the Raven who was eyeing him back. Wouldn't that be interesting friend to his barn owl named Crunchy. Looking back at Bart, his eyes widened, "I hope you're not wearing anything shiny or fancy.. I hear they'll tear you apart for a glimpse of any shiny you might have hidden or not." Luc was somewhat glad his earring was long gone beforehand now. It didn't look like he did, but you never knew. He blinked around waiting for whoever ran this to let them know if they could play with the Niffler. "....What do they eat anyway?"

Bart looked at him, well maybe he wasn’t the brains of their operation, “Why waste the money on ingredients we can just do that at school and use theirs. They won’t miss them and that leaves us the money for food and buying other stuff. Once we have the age potion done and look older to get our own place, we will need stuff.” Duh! They would need stuff, but maybe they could take things from their rooms before leaving or something. Yeah that was a thought..

“That and boggarts” Bart nodded matter a factly, it was weird that love stuff. He didn’t understand how someone could be so cool and then go so lame after they started with dating. His older cousin, his friend at school, even his mom took Charely’s side over his own most of the time anymore and now Wade. It just wasn’t fair at all, he would never let that happen, nope Bart Maroon wasn’t going to date at all, it wasn’t worth it if you had to act different. She had said something about moving out, “Good I can’t wait until she’s gone, she’s so annoying all over the house like she owns it.” and the kissing he thought seeing his mother was annoying, but now he had Indy and Wade as well. “It will be nice to get to jump in as a cannon ball without her screaming.” Even though splashing her or flipping her off her floating chair was the best part.

Bart was reaching towards the Niffler when Luc spoke and he laughed, “What would I have shiny? I have money, but it’s in my pocket. I’m no girl I don’t wear jewelry do you?” He glanced over his shoulder before touching the animal. “These things are so cool, we have to have one.” He looked around for CHarely, now he might need the man here so they could get this, unless someone could just let him buy it, was that allowed. Luc distracted him before he could keep thinking of a way to buy it without the adults knowing. “Who cares we can figure that out later.” It probably just ate things it found along its way treasure hunting anyway.

Hoping he didn't, erm, smell bad, Felix skipped the trip to the ice cream shop and headed straight towards the animal adoption fair. After that little bump in the road at the rubbish bins on his way there, he had no time to order some delicious ice cream for himself or Freya. Jacket back over his shoulder and hand back in his pant pocket, still looking mighty good if he did say so himself again, the young man looked around for the brunette beauty he was meeting. She wasn't at all hard to find either.

Smiling, he jogged up behind her, debating whether or not to scare her or...

No. Just a kiss on the cheek.

There was a whole huddle of Puffskeins closer to the back of their enclosure, all huddled together, sleeping most likely. Summer wasn't the time to go looking for warmth from each other but they were comfy enough for a nap. Freya decided, she wanted the one by the base of the huddle--no no, the little one perched on the to--

She nearly jumped at the sudden presence behind but relaxed with a smile at the kiss. "I was trying to wait for you before coming in here, but you'll never believe what I saw." She said, turning to him with a grin.

Freya tried looking pass him toward the table. From what she could see her brother was scribbling out something. Perfectly safe and staying out of trouble, no need to worry about him. "What took you so long?" She asked, fixing him with a curious gaze. Not that she'd been waiting long, or that she was bored while waiting either. Really. Looooook at them.

"Yea?" he chuckled, glancing to the...things. What in Merlin's beard WERE those things?

Raising an eyebrow at them, he turned his focus to Freya. "Oh erm, I was helping someone with something." Ahem. With a casual shrug of his shoulders, because he was awesome and helped people like that it was no biggy, he placed an arm around hers and once again, glanced to the furry little creatures. "What are those things?"

Helping someone with something...right. Sounded dull in comparison to seeing all these little darlings but she'd keep that to herself. Him helping was a good thing. She glanced back at the fuzzy little babies all huddled together. "Puffskeins. Aren't they adorable? Super easy to take care of too." And she wanted one--no she wanted ten but that was impractical to say the least.

"I wanted a few of them but I don't think it'd be smart for when I'm off studying dragons." As easy as they were to take care of, she'd probably be exhausted by the end of the day. "Well maybe one could be practical...then I could have something else to keep it company." Because justifying things made them sound better. It would be loooonely. Maybe a Jarvey. They didn't eat puffskeins so it'd be fine....and on the off chance the two didn't get along she'd probably need a third pet...to even things out. Perfectly understandable.

"What'd you think?"

Paris wanted a pet.

Really REALLY badly he wanted one.

Ever since he saw the adoption fair that was loud and right beside the wand shop. He was alright with his not-cousin not wanting to take him too, since it made it easier to get the coins off of her (or some of them at least) and race over to the event without so much as a goodbye since she didn't like hugs anyway.

He pushed past all of the popular pets, since they were loud and obnoxious and made messes he didn't want to clean. Paris had his OWN messes to clean up that he didn't want to thank you very much, he didn't need to add to that.

But the ravens and bats? Those were cool.

He came to a halt in front of their cages and clung to them.

Sophie had all the pets she needed, really. She already had an owl and a pygmy puff who she loved a whole lot, but she liked creatures well enough that she couldn't just avoid the part of the street with the adoption fair - she had to at least take a peek at everything. Just in case inspiration struck or she found something that surprised her and didn't know she needed before.

So far, no such creature had fit that bill.

She made her way toward the back area, her eyes glued to the contents of various cages, assessing whether or not she could see herself taking one home later. Jarveys? Too unpredictable. Puffskeins? Sophie did move closer to the puffskein enclosure, a small smile settling upon her lips. They were cute. But... why would she want a puffskein if she could just have more pygmy puffs? Pygmy puffs were cuter and came in prettier shades. Maybe she'd go see if she could get a pink girl to go with her purple boy later. One could never have too many cuddly balls of fur.

Moving along, Sophie came to an immediate halt. A few feet away, a boy seemed to have formed a unique attachment to the winged creatures in this section. For a moment, she considered just standing there and watching him to see what he was going to do or if he'd just stay like that all day. Then, she thought about going back the way she came because this guy was clearly a nutter and he might have some sort of fit.

Ultimately, she allowed herself to laugh and took a few steps toward him, standing by his side with her arms crossed, scrutinizing him up and down curiously. "Hey." She gave him a gentle nudge in the side with an elbow to get his attention. "Y'need some money to buy one or somethin'? Or parents won't letcha have one so you're making yourself miserable and imagining the life you'd have if you had one of 'em?" She knew how that one went.

Johnny wandered the adoption fair, hands usually tucked into the pockets of his jeans. He had already seen the crups and kneazles, as well as the owls, toads and rats just briefly, before continuing on his way toward a more abandoned observation area. Perhaps he would return to the crups and kneazles in a moment, but for now he stood watching (or more a less eyeing) a jarvey all on it's own, sprouting off less than pleasant things.

While the idea of possibly adopting a creature to gift to Ophelia was still in his mind, still being considered carefully, he was definitely not getting her one of those. Even if he found them interesting, personally.

Laughter, Paris heard laughter that was most certainly not coming from the jarveys. No, the only things that'd come from them were insults that he had learned to ignore. But the laughter and the nudging and actual human speech was not ignored by the young lad.

Tearing himself away from the cage wiring, he turned to the girl who looked to be about his age. "I spent the last seven years making myself miserable and imagining a life with a pet of my own, and not my stupid sister's kneazles. It finally worked, and I can have on now." He most certainly wasn't gonna waste this chance on cat of all things either. "What about you? Gonna get something cool, or still stuck on miserable?"

Her hair was a mess - seriously, it was all sticking up and tousled. It kind of looked like she had the audacity to stick a fork into the toaster and survive. Which she didn't, she just woke up and couldn't control the mess. Still, she didn't care a part of her did but the rest of her didn't care about what was going on with her hair. It was after all just there.

Hayley pushed one her hands into the pockets of her jeans and tugged on the hem of her plaid shirt with the other. Glancing at these creatures she just smiled, her smile quirking up in the corner as she glanced at them. They were so adorable. Some of them were disturbing - who really wanted a ball of fluff that would stick its tongue up your nose? Not her.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard what the Jarvey was saying. Seriously, it would like your own personal insult button.

Dark eyes still on the jarvey grumbling to itself, knowing he should find something else to do, or rather continue looking at the other creatures - maybe something more friendly, one that didn't necessarily talk either, but Johnny stayed where he was.

He probably should have asked someone for advice before now, whether or not it was a wise idea to adopt a creature as a present for Ophelia, but in the back of his mind he could already hear Rari's voice telling him no, don't be stupid, in more words than what were necessary. And there was Eddie, who would be giving him that look..

Shaking his head to clear those thoughts, Johnny turned at the sound of laughter, which was coming from a girl that had appeared rather close beside him. He hadn't even noticed. "Pleasant little buggers, aren't they?" He commented cheerfully, and offered a grin.

Hayley hadn't even really been paying attention to the guy she had creeped up on. She had been more interesting in the cursing Jarvey. That is until the guy spoke, and she shot the guy a grin back in return. "Yeah very pleasant, I almost want one as a bully-proof vest" she inwardly cringed at her own wording. Seriously if you just heard that you'd probably guess she was muggle...you'd be half right - raised by them at least.

"Must say even if they aren't that cheery I'd still get one and house it in my dorm" she nodded. Yep, dorms she hated them but having a cursing thing with her would make it more lively. Especially when it would crawl around the floor and spit curses out from under the very deserving girls beds.

It would be priceless. "You ever had one? A Jarvey that is?" She asked brightly as she turned her attention to the creature and to the boy at the same time. "Oh I'm Hayley by the way, Hayley Payne" she grinned brightly.
