Default Menagerie Displays


If it doesn't come in a cage or a tank, you will find it on the displays. Aside from the animals available in the store, you can also buy numerous supplies here as well. From health to medicinal to necessities to toys and accessories, you can find anything your new pet may need or desire just by browsing the displays! No matter the pet, you are sure to find a variety of supplies to welcome yours into the family, or pamper an old friend.

Numerous different foods can be found, from sensitive stomach to diet, and regular. If you need shampoo of any kind, they can be found in this area, too. If your pet has fleas or ticks, you can take care of them with a bottle or two. Of course, if you just want your Crup to stop smelling like wet Cruppie, these shampoos can even take care of that! While you're here, check out some of the grooming supplies. Brushes of all shapes, sizes, and materials are available. Snag a smaller brush to fluff up your pygmy puff's fur, maybe a wiry brush to tame your Niffler's hair, and your cat or dog would probably greatly enjoy a dander-snagging brush to keep them smooth and sparkly.

Necessary supplies include such items as tanks, aquariums, cages, travel cages, and more. Make sure to buy everything you need; wouldn't you hate to get home and find out you forgot something? If you need to, talk to the shop keeper to make sure you're buying the appropriate size and type of cage for your new pet. Some animals need much larger environments and some do not do well in certain types of cages.

If toys and accessories are what your pet is desiring, you'll find a plethora! Collars and leashes are just the tip of the iceberg. Your pet can be the most stylish if you pick up some nifty outfits for them. Mix and match the pieces to create a fashionable wardrobe! Booties are available for when the weather becomes too cold for your pets to bear it. All kinds of toys can be found here - from balls to squeaky toys, fake mice, feathers, dangly toys, shiny flashy toys... Your pet will never be bored with this selection.

When you've found the creature you've been looking for, please make your way to the counter for purchase!

If you are looking for animals, please see our creatures room.

Smiling, she took hers out of her pocket and petted him as he squeaked happily. "This is Toffy. Bay got him for me when I was in Second Year." She loved her Puff and giggled as he kept making sounds. So long as he didn't disturb any of the animals it should be okay. She didn't want to get into trouble with the shopkeeper.

"My summer is going great! I love it so much. How about yours?" She bet that Bleu was seeing lots of Dylan and that was adorable.
Bleu frowned a little, "Unfortunately no. I really would love another animal." She sighed a little. Why did her mother have to be so strict about animals? "Oh, I love my Owl too. Lumière is a sweetheart, but you cant cuddle with an owl like you can with these sweet babies." She nodded towards the kittens and puppies. One day she would have a kitten.

Bleu smiled, "It's been really smashing. So far I have gotten to meet all of Dylan's family. He's going to be coming to stay with my and my mum soon. We are going to take him around London and Liverpool. It would be great to hang out with you and Bay while he is with us too!" She beamed. Lux was really a sweet person and she really liked spending time with her.

He had grown up, he had toughened up and he had learnt stuff. He shook his head at her question. "I'm going back to Hogwarts but I didn't have to convince them. I'm of age now so I make my own decisions." Whether they were good ones or not. It was kind of scary actually. Not that he would admit that out loud.

He was still grinning as she studied his tatt. Maybe he should have got a tattoo earlier. The girls seemed to love it. "A couple of weeks actually. There was so much detail and my arm needed to heal properly before they could re-ink. It was worth it though." And though he had first gotten it because he wanted to cover the ugly red scar that ran down his arm, he absolutely loved his tattoo. "I've had it a few months now. As soon as I turned seventeen, I headed off to a tattoo parlour." He ran a hand over his arm before raising an eyebrow at Lex. "You ever thought of getting a tattoo?"

Michael laughed as well. "I guess I must be a true lion then." Not that there had been any doubt. He had always been a wild child. Speaking of wild children, she wanted him to say 'hi' to Zahra for her? He didn't know they had become friends. "Ooookay. I'll make sure to do that." Not sure how Zahra was going to take that.

He nodded his head before realising what she had just said...Head Auror? Michael stared at her before bursting into laughter. "You're working for the MLE? You! The girl who broke every rule Hogwarts ever invented." He never thought he would see the day. But then again she would probably be shocked to know what he was thinking of becoming.
"Whoa, lookitchu, big man in charge of himself." She said with a half grin. He was of age now. WAS THAT EVEN LEGAL?? Mikey Toussaint couldn't make his own choices, he was like....12 and adorable and reckless...except he wasn't. Standing before her wasn't the Mikey that bounded over to the Gryffindor table, yelling a greeting at the top of his lungs. No. This Mikey standing before her was choosing where he finished his education on his own and milking the 'of age' card. "It makes sense to finish there I guess. It's where your adventure started in the first place."

Also, that sounded...painful. No really. His arm needed to heal before re-inking. All the detail it would have taken in the first place. Consider her even more impressed now. "I did think about getting one, actually. I mean my Dad would freak and my Grandparents would have a fit," Alice too apparently, "but I like the idea of them and already made up my mind." Lottie even backed her up on the decision so really it was only a matter of WHEN. "Wanted a navel piercing too but baby steps." Had to ease her father into this growing up thing, so far he was hardly adjusting.

Lex beamed her agreement of him being a true lion. "You always have been. Knew it the moment you walked up to the table...and when you screamed about them trying to fatten us up with the ice-cream." Remembering that actually had her laughing. Funny how right he technically was. Happy!ice-cream and dementors...quite the term that had been.

She might have started laughing even louder if she didn't have such good self control. Honestly. Mikey. "That's not true. I've never gone around snogging in the corridors. Held that rule very sacred." Then again...she was Alexa Cambridge...that kind of thing didn't happen period. It still counted. "It's fine though, being an Auror means I get to take down baddies by any means necessary even unforgiveables. Why would I turn that down?" A life of action, constantly wondering if she would make it out a live; that was the only life for her. "What'd you think you'll do when you leave?"

A life of action, constantly wondering if she would make it out a live; that was the only life for her. "What'd you think you'll do when you leave?"

Uh huh. He was THE MAN!! Well that's what he told himself in front of the mirror everyday. Whether he was or not was irrelevant, so long as he believed it. But it did feel good to be in charge of his own decisions and stuff now. Although his parents did still and try and 'guide' him as they like to put it. Michael now at least appreciated it. "That's what I told my parents. I wanted to finish off where I started. And besides that Hogwarts always seem to have cool stuff going on." Trolls, dementors, ageing problems...everything happened at Hogwarts.

He knew that she was the type of girl to want a tattoo, but he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the mention of parents and grandparents. Wasn't she technically an adult now? Did she really need to worry about what they thought? "What are you thinking of getting? And please don't tell me it's some girly flower type." Because that was totally boring and not very unique because most girls got flowers. Oh hello. Piercing? Michael grinned broadly. "You should totally get your navel pierced. I got my eyebrow pierced and...er...other places." And no he was not going to elaborate.

He let out a laugh as he remembered his first opening feast. He remembered yelling at the top of his lungs at the Gryffindor table. Of course he didn't regret his behaviour, it was how he had met Lex and they became good friends. "Well I was sort of right about the ice cream."

Oh really? How quickly she has forgotten. "Hey! We snogged in the corridor, remember?" Well okay it wasn't much of a snog. He had kissed her rather quickly and she had returned one just as quick. But they had been in the corridor. Under an invisibility cloak so no one ever saw them, but it did happen. He grinned at her and tipped her a wink. Don't even try and deny it Cambridge.

"That is true." Aurors got to chase down the bad guys. "But don't you like have to follow heaps of rules?" Surely someone like her would have to find that hard. Of course so would he if he went into the profession he was thinking about going into. "You're not going to believe this, but I'm actually thinking of going into Healing."

Hah! Hahahaha! "Well you're right about THAT much." Everything did happen at Hogwarts. Dementors, time thieves, aging epidemics, chorts. A mad house truly but it'd been brilliant fun....for a while...til she got tired of it all and decided she was ready for a different kind of crazy. "Knowing Hogwarts they'll have a grand 'ole adventure to end it off nicely for you too. Got to be 'Mistress of All Evil' for my last term. Wonder how yours will go." You just never knew in that place.

Lex saw the raise of his brows and thought she knew what he was wondering but she chose not to respond. One day he'd learn diplomacy and how much easier it sometimes was to appease than oppose. Still time for him. Her eyes rolled at his question. "Have you completely forgotten who I am?" Snort. "I don't do girly and I don't want flowers. It's not me. Haven't decided what I DO want though so still playing around with ideas." It wasn't like there was any rush, she'd already decided she was getting one and that was that. Oh and that was neat wasn't it? He'd gotten his eyebrows pierced and other plac--...she didn't even wanna know. Nope. No questions here.

In the spirit of moving on, she was about to tell him just how right he was about the ice-cream when suddenly he mentioned THAT and it had her laughing all over again. Oh Merlin, how DID she forget that?? "It was hardly a snog Michael," She would know, she'd had a few, "But I guess you're right...which means that was your fault and you breaking that rule, not me. You kissed me first, remember?" Hah, gosh they got up to things back then, didn't they? No regrets, remember?

Lex shrugged at the mention of rules. "There are a lot, yeah, but I just have to be careful how I skirt them. It's not that hard and technically I'm always on the right side of the law." GRIN. A perk of being a law enforcer right there. Naturally she would abuse it from time to time but with discretion. Wait, what?? What?? "Healer, huh? That's neat! What made you decide that?"

Poor Bleu. Lux wished that her friend could have a pet; she would even buy it. If only her mom approved, but that didn't seem likely. She was not going to comment or question the decision since she knew that parents were parents even though some of their rules seemed silly. "That's very true though they are cute and soft. But you can play with Ginger and Arya - my cat. Oh, and Toffy too. He's really cuddly." Pygmy Puffs were amazing and she carried hers just about everywhere. He was her little buddy.

Hearing about all the awesome things that Bleu got up to with Dylan made Lux smile. They were such a cute couple and she was so happy for them. "That sounds awesome! I'll see with Bay but I'm sure he would be up for it!" Trips with friends were always so much fun. And so were double dates!! She loved double dates.

”Mistress of All Evil, huh? And how did that go for you?” He personally couldn’t imagine Lex being evil. Tough yes. Evil not so much. Well at least going to Hogwarts was not only fun and challenging, you got to do things you normally wouldn’t do. Although the whole ageing thing he could have done without. ”I hope it is something awesome. I want to go out with a bang.” Not literally of course.

Michael chuckled at the indignant look on her face. ”I was just checking.” He wouldn’t be surprised if she got something like a skull tattooed on her body. ”And have you thought about where you’re going to put the tattoo?” That might have been a slightly personal question but eh this was Lex, he didn’t feel bad for asking. They had talked about a lot of stuff before. Except maybe body piercings. Hahaha. The look on her face was priceless.

Oh so she did remember. Well she did after he had to mention it first. Michael was grinning as he gave her a playful swat on the arm. ”I remember.” How could he forget? ”In my defence, I was young and inexperienced.” So yeah it hadn't been much of a snog. If he wasn’t in a happy relationship with Zahra, he might have showed her how much more experienced he was. Hehe. ”Ah good times Cambridge, good times.’

Of course she would find the loop holes in the rules, she wouldn’t be Lex if she didn’t. ”Well so long as you’re enjoying what you’re doing that’s the main thing, right?” Michael knew that would surprise her. It had surprised Zahra as well. Heck it had even surprised him when the idea had first come to him. ”Well let’s just say that big mouth of mine got me into a bit of trouble at Durmstrang.” And his good looks too apparently. ”Some of the fights I got into didn’t always go my way and I had to learn pretty quickly how to heal my injuries.” He shrugged his shoulders. ”I found the whole healing thing fascinating.” Another grin touched his lips. ”But I’m taking a year off after I finish Hogwarts and am going to go the travelling thing with Z. So who knows, I might change my mind.”

I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open

Garreth absentmindedly strolled past the shelves upon shelves of accessories, his hands in his pockets. Though his eyes scanned across the selection, his mind was elsewhere, and he didn't pick up on much of what he was seeing. However, the birman cat lazily hanging on his shoulder seemed to pick up every detail. Effie's attentive blue eyes jumped from toy to toy, treat to treat, and although she seemed interested, her lazy posture didn't imply any intention of actually making even the slightest effort to reach the shelves.

Having been left all by himself for a while, the short, dark haired almost-11-year-old had a lot of time to kill and very little allowance to spend on anything. He'd figured he'd go looking for books to read, but the lovely folks over at Flourish & Blotts had been understandably disinterested in getting cat hair all over the place, so he'd come to the one place he could be sure Effie was welcome. Though there were other critters abound, his kitty had always been calm and collected, even when faced with the rowdiest of pets. She'd always managed to bore away any would-be roughhousing dogs with the help of her lazy, disinterested attitude.. And Garreth, of course.

Rachel was a stalker. Yes, she was. Why though? She had spotted someone looking like her friend while she had been strolling the streets of Diagon Alley trying to locate the bookstores there. She hadn't gotten much luck in that area but she had stopped when she noticed him. She wasn't sure if it even was Garreth. She had never actually met him but he looked so much like the boy in the pictures.

She watched him walk past the shelves of the store with the cat on his shoulder. That cat had to be Effie. Getting the boost of courage and suddenly not afraid of making this a case of mistaken identity, the ten year old trudged after the boy. "Garreth?'' she called to his back. "Effie?'' It was the moment of truth. Was she right?

She had never actually met him but he looked so much like the boy in the pictures.

She watched him walk past the shelves of the store with the cat on his shoulder. That cat had to be Effie. Getting the boost of courage and suddenly not afraid of making this a case of mistaken identity, the ten year old trudged after the boy. "Garreth?'' she called to his back. "Effie?'' It was the moment of truth. Was she right?


Effie was the first to notice the presence of the young girl. Garreth was of course completely oblivious to the world around him. He wouldn't have noticed a hippo if it sat on his face. The only thing that brought him back into the real world was the gentle sound of Effie meowing a greeting to the petite blonde who not only knew her owner's name, but also her own! Of course, Effie had no way of knowing that Rachel knew more about her than most people would ever care to know.

Spinning around on his heel and looking up at the girl who'd addressed him, Garreth gave as polite a "Hmm?" as possible. It took him a moment to piece together that it might be construed as strange to be addressed by name by a complete stranger in the middle of a crowded store. Not only that, but she also knew his cat by na- Wait a minute! This was no stranger! It had taken him a short moment, but he recognized the girl! It was Rachel! No doubt about it, she looked exactly like she did in all her photos!

"R- Rachel?" he managed to stutter. Of course, he'd been caught off-guard. He hadn't had any time to prepare! Why was he so awkward all the time? "Hey th- Hey the- Hello!" He stammered like Porky Pig having a seizure. Ellie rolled her eyes at the silly boy and pawed her way off his shoulder to leisurely stroll over to Rachel's leg.

"Hello, Effie,'' Rachel greeted and stopping to pet the cat. She was positive now that the boy was Garreth so in turn she was positive this was Effie. The cat was meowing which caused Rachel to smile. The two had clicked immediately. Now Garreth was looking at her and she could see that he was confused for a bit. She could see him putting things together, figuring out who she was.

"The one and only,''
she replied, smiling. Rachel knew Garreth would figure it out. Wasn't she always telling him he was a Ravenclaw? "Hey, hello, Garreth.'' She ignored his stammering. It did not bother her one bit because she knew how shy he was. "Fancy meeting you here.''

The blond turned her attention back to Effie who was now in the vicinity of her feet. She stooped graciously to scoop the cat gently into her arms. She smiled at Garreth again. "I knew it was you. You look even better in person.'' Rachel rubbed her cheek against Effie's head as she surveyed the boy. "Are you here with your mom and dad?"

"My goodness, I- I hadn't expected to see you here!" The shy little boy coughed out, making a conscious effort to not appear nervous. It had been so easy to talk to Rachel when she couldn't actually see how awkward he was, and it was taking longer than it should have to adjust to the change of venue, but he was getting there. Thankfully, he was already blushing by the time the girl told him he looked 'even better in person'. "Wh- Well, th- thank you, so do you!" he croaked, her words having completely spoiled his progress towards speaking without a stammer.

"I'm- I'm just here with my dad. He said to wait for him here, so that's what I'm doing." He twiddled his thumbs and shot Effie a narrow-eyed glance as the cat began to paw at Rachel's nose and cheeks. "What about you?" He looked up at Rachel again with a shy, but sincere smile.

“Such a nice coincidence, isn’t it?”
Who would have thought that the two would have bumped into each other in Diagon Alley. But Rachel was glad they did. They finally got to meet each other! She did notice Garreth’s red face but was it her? Did his face get even redder when she complimented him? Come on, Garreth. Hadn’t she told you that you can be relaxed when you’re around her? She smiled. “You’re welcome. Thank you.’’ Appearance was very important to the little girl. She liked to ensure she looked her best. After all, Princesses always looked beautiful.

Once again, Rachel ignored the stammer. She was patiently awaiting the day when Garreth would stop. She started giggling as Effie’s paws moved over her nose and cheeks. “I think she likes me.’’ She scratched behind the cat’s ear. “What’s he off doing?” She knew about his parents and how strict they could be sometimes. “I’m here with mom and she let me explore a bit by myself. If it were dad, I would be stuck with him wherever he went.’’ He was so overprotective! “I haven’t gotten a little Lord Barkley yet. I have to wait until dad comes back from his trip then we’ll go puppy shopping.’’ She giggled again at the term she had just used. “Effie, you wouldn’t boss Barkley around as Garreth said you would, will you?”

"Yes it is! I never would have thought in a million years that I'd just bump into you like this!" Garreth beamed, happy that Rachel had found it in her beautiful heart to ignore his awkward stammering long enough for him to regain some composure. It always took Garreth a while to adjust to meeting new people, and becoming comfortable around them, but as he had spoken with Rachel before over the mugglenet, he had already had a while to get to know the girl a little. It had just taken a moment for it to click in his brain that this was indeed the same girl he'd talked to before, and she was indeed just as sweet in real life as she had seemed.

He shot a grin at Effie and then back up at Rachel. "You know, I don't think she knows we know each other, but she sure seems to be acting like you guys are old friends!" The cat was never usually so open and friendly with strangers, but they seemed to have hit it off!

"Oh, I'm not sure, really. He said he had some 'business' to take care of over at the bank, but goodness knows what that even means. He's been gone for a solid hour now, and I have no idea when he'll be back." The boy shrugged as if he didn't really care, but his expression revealed that he might have been a little sad about it. Garreth's father often seemed to have a rather impersonal way of raising his son, and displays of affection were rare at home, let alone in public. Of course, Garreth loved and looked up to his father like any boy would, but he often found himself wishing he'd be easier to talk to.

"Aww, when is he coming back? Can I see him when you get him?" Garreth LOVED the fact that Rachel seemed set on the name he had helped pick out. He thought of it as an honor, unparalleled by any he had hitherto imagined, that a girl like Rachel had weighed his opinion so heavily as to actually ask for, let alone accept his advice on something as important as the name of a childhood companion! What an honor indeed!

What an honor indeed!


Coincidences were strange things. Rachel had heard that some persons never believed in them, particularly police as she had seen on television and the ones she read about in books. She surely believed in it. Proof of it had happened right here, just a few minutes ago. "I expected it to happen the summer before we started Hogwarts,'' she replied honestly. "That will be when we will be getting all our supplies.''

The blond twitched her nose and giggled as Effie's paw connected with her nose again. "That tickles.'' She then looked back at Garreth. "Maybe she senses it,'' she suggested. Cats and dogs were brilliant. Dogs more so. Rachel loved them so she tended to be a bit biased towards them. "You've had her from since she was a kitten, right?''

"He probably forgot about you.'' Her tone was light and her lips threatened to curl upwards in a smile. "If he did, you can always come over with Effie and I can show you all my cacti.'' Now Rachel did smile because she as remembering their conversation from earlier where Garreth had said her cacti would poke holes into his bow tie of his suit. She had graciously invited him over to a pretend tea party she was having.

"He might be back in a few days,''
the ten year said, her face lighting up as always whenever she thought of her father returning from one of his trips. "Yes, you can. You did name him after all.'' So, Lord Barkley would be the name for her future puppy. A fitting name for a puppy belonging to a Princess. "I'll see about bringing him to Hogwarts too. I don't think I would want to stay away from him for so much time.''

I don't think I would want to stay away from him for so much time.''


"Oh, I'm already prepped for Hogwarts!" Garreth beamed at the mention of shopping for school supplies. Sure, he would probably have to pick up some new robes, as he was quickly outgrowing the ones he'd preemptively purchased, and perhaps some updated editions of a few of his books had been released, but he was mostly prepared. Mostly. "I just need a wand." He smiled, unable to hold back his excitement, even at the mere thought of finally getting his very own wand.

"You know, I bet she does. Effie's a very smart kitty." He reached over and gently ran his hand over Effie's head. Garreth simply adored Effie. She'd been his best friend for such a long time, and he couldn't imagine being without her. "Yes, I've had her since she was just a teeny tiny little kitten. Effie's been with me through a lot." Effie's purring and continued batting at Rachel's face signaled no intention to behave, as she seemed set on playing with Rachel.

Garreth harrumphed when Rachel jokingly suggested his father might have forgotten him. As emotionally distant as his father often seemed to others, he was very protective of his son, nearly so as to be overbearing. "If there's one place he'd possibly forget about me, it'd be that darn bank.." He grumbled, almost yawning just at the mere concept of a bank. The look, the atmosphere, even the smell was almost enough to put the boy to sleep. As much as he adored nearly all facets of learning, and simply adored to take in new knowledge, there was nothing that bored him more than economics. His father, however, was a different story. "Father loves to discuss 'business', and 'money'. At least he does it so much, it sure seems that way. I sometimes think he'll find any excuse to start blathering on about some sums or taxes or something equally mystifying.." The boy grinned, waving a hand dismissively. He had difficulty suppressing his laughter when the girl mentioned her cacti, as he too recalled their earlier conversation. "Not the Cacti! They'll ruin my bow-ties!" he giggled.

"You need to let me know when he gets back! I want to see Lord Barkley!"

"You need to let me know when he gets back! I want to see Lord Barkley!"


Rachel giggled at Garreth's enthusiasm for Hogwarts. "I wouldn't expect anything different from you,'' she said and now realising that her friend had not stuttered again. She was happy for him. He had gotten over his nerves about speaking to her but it worried her about what would happen when he met other kids, especially next year when they both started Hogwarts. Some kids could be mean. Rachel was sure of one thing though. No one was going to make fun of Garreth while she was around. Even though she wasn't the revenge type, she would make sure they not make fun of him again. "We both do but I think we'll have to wait until next summer. That's so disappointing. I wish we were starting Hogwarts this year.''

"Her being smart does make sense. She probably picked up somethings from her smart owner.'' The blond beamed. She was always telling Garreth that he belonged in Ravenclaw House. "You are the Walking Encyclopedia, after all.'' When Effie pawed at her again, she caught the paw with her free hand to tickle it. "Do cats have ticklish?'' she wondered aloud to Garreth and Effie.

Rachel surveyed Garreth thoughtfully. ''He likes money?'' She listened to him explain. "Oh. I get it. I find that boring. Princesses, tea parties, cats and dogs are much better to talk about.'' As loaded as Rachel may be because of her parents, she never cared about galleons or anything related. She was just a little girl who wanted to enjoy life with all the girly things and a Lord Barkley. The girl laughed with her friend. "Don't insult the cacti! They'll be offended. My babies have eyes and ears, you know.'' She loved her prickly plants dearly but it was nice to see Garreth hadn't forgotten about their earlier conversation.

"I'll send you a picture the moment I get Barkley. Effie can see who she'll be bossing around.'' Rachel giggled again.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Keane came into the Menagerie, and moved around the store for a bit taking in the aisles and displays he took his time looking at the puppies and it warmed his heart at how cute they were being, but he moved on from them. He was set on getting a Cat or a Kneazle or a Mix of the two. There was just something about Cats that made Keane feel more attached. His Owl, Lincoln was to stay behind with his Step-Father so that he could Owl him when he made it Hogwarts, and make sure he was settled in....and becoming social....

He stood at the area where the different Cats and Kneazles were being shown off. He cross his Arms and trained his eyes on each of them, surely one would stand out to him, make an impression. He scratched his chin with his thumb and index finger briefly before settling back into the crosses position over his chest. Come on Cats do something stand-out-ish. Be Retro!

Pandora gazed longingly at the smallest kneazle on display. They were so fluffy and adorable with those big eyes of theirs. She bet they made great cuddling buddies. Her cousin had one and it was always either on her lap or asking for attention. Pandora liked to give attention.

A loud and deep sigh left the sixteen-year-old. Why didn't Mum let her have one? Just because she lost her pet bunny back in her younger years didn't mean she'd lose this one.

She sighed again, her attention momentarily diverted as someone stepped into the area. He was probably here to get a kneazle or something else to cuddle while she wasn't allowed. Life wasn't fair.

SIIIIIIIIIGH.

Keane hadn't noticed the Girl beside him until she started sighing. He could only deduce that she wasn't able to get one. Either from not having the money, or because she wasn't allowed to have a Cat. He trained his eyes on the kneazle she was staring at. A small one too. The little cat didn't seem full kneazle though, probably mixed. It was a grey and black mix which almost looked like it had hints of purple in it's shades of black but that'd be impossible. The eyes were purple though. He considered it for a moment.

He then sighed. Thanks to this sighing Girl he was able to spot the Kitten he wanted, but he'd be depriving her of ever having said Cat. "She's...cute" he said aloud finally, and looking at her with the corner of his eyes, but not turning to face her.

She was about to sigh again when the boy next to her spoke. Pandora nodded, side-eyeing him with her bright blue eyes. "It is," she mumbled, wiggling her finger at the kneazle and watched it paw at her. IT WAS SO CUTE.

"How do you know it's a she?" The question suddenly occurred to her as she studied the furry creature. It was rude to check, but maybe this guy knew by just looking at it? Or maybe..."Are the eyes purple?"

Pandora wanted it even more noooow.

A small smile crossed his lips as he was agreed with, though quietly. He watched her play with the Kneazle for a bit before finally responding. "I don't. Gut feeling that's her gender though."
Nothing wrong with his gut either, so far as he knew. He always trusted it, and it's never done him wrong so Gut Feelings were always his go to for decision making.

He looked at the Cat's eyes once more. "They're certainly a Shade of Purple" He could help it much longer the more he even talked about this Little Creature the more he wanted her.

"I'm seconds from moving around to the other section and picking her out" He spoke bluntly now. How could no one want a purple-eyed kitty-kneazle-cat.

So it was a gut instinct. Pandora stepped closer and stared hard at the baby kneazle, squinting her eyes at it. Little Purple here reached out to play with Pandora's brown and golden locks.

There was no gut instinct in her gut. "I gueeess it looks like a girl." She tilting her head, unsure.

Looking back at the guy, the young witch beamed. "They're pretty purples." It was a shade of purple she made up and she wanted it and--

"Noooo. I..." She glanced back at the kneazle and clutched at her heart dramatically. "She's my dream kneazle. You can't possibly..." This was AWFUL. And she didn't even have enough money to buy it even if she wanted to beat the guy for it.

I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open

SPOILER!!: Rachel! <3

Rachel giggled at Garreth's enthusiasm for Hogwarts. "I wouldn't expect anything different from you,'' she said and now realising that her friend had not stuttered again. She was happy for him. He had gotten over his nerves about speaking to her but it worried her about what would happen when he met other kids, especially next year when they both started Hogwarts. Some kids could be mean. Rachel was sure of one thing though. No one was going to make fun of Garreth while she was around. Even though she wasn't the revenge type, she would make sure they not make fun of him again. "We both do but I think we'll have to wait until next summer. That's so disappointing. I wish we were starting Hogwarts this year.''

"Her being smart does make sense. She probably picked up somethings from her smart owner.'' The blond beamed. She was always telling Garreth that he belonged in Ravenclaw House. "You are the Walking Encyclopedia, after all.'' When Effie pawed at her again, she caught the paw with her free hand to tickle it. "Do cats have ticklish?'' she wondered aloud to Garreth and Effie.

Rachel surveyed Garreth thoughtfully. ''He likes money?'' She listened to him explain. "Oh. I get it. I find that boring. Princesses, tea parties, cats and dogs are much better to talk about.'' As loaded as Rachel may be because of her parents, she never cared about galleons or anything related. She was just a little girl who wanted to enjoy life with all the girly things and a Lord Barkley. The girl laughed with her friend. "Don't insult the cacti! They'll be offended. My babies have eyes and ears, you know.'' She loved her prickly plants dearly but it was nice to see Garreth hadn't forgotten about their earlier conversation.

"I'll send you a picture the moment I get Barkley. Effie can see who she'll be bossing around.'' Rachel giggled again.


"It's important to start preparing early! You don't want the first day of school to sneak up on you!" Garreth smirked at the girl, holding up a finger. The boy had always had his priorities a little messed up, at least according to his mother. He'd never been very social, and his first priority had always been the pursuit of knowledge. Of course, he didn't see it that way. What others saw as a thirst for knowledge and a tendency towards more intellectual pursuits, he saw as his never ending search for new experiences. If there was something to be learned, there was something to be gained, to be experienced, to understand, and to live. While he had always been rather content with his books up until now, he knew full well that it was unhealthy, or so he had read. "Yeah, I can't wait." he quickly agreed. Starting school the following year would be quite a system shock, and although he looked forward to going to Hogwarts more than anything, he knew it wouldn't be easy for him to adjust.

"Hah, no!" He giggled. "Effie was born with her smarts! From the first time I ever met her, I knew she was a Ravenclaw kitty!" Effie struggled slightly against Rachel's tickling, but did not ultimately seem to care, nor understand her intentions. "I don't think they do. Garreth joined in, tickling Effie's neck. "But she doesn't seem to mind."

"Yeah, me too. Nothing my dad does is made with fun in mind. It's all just boring numbers and charts and graphs and meaningless, soulless statistics." Garreth obviously felt quite strongly about his father's work, but did his best not to ramble. The cacti were a much more entertaining subject! "I'm terribly sorry, I don't mean to hurt their feelings!" he giggled. Garreth loved his books and Rachel loved her cacti, and while some people might think them strange, they didn't judge each other. Rachel was the first person Garreth had ever met who really didn't seem to mind at all that he was so focused on his books, and school and things that other kids his age generally seemed to dislike.

"But we have an entire year left, Garreth,''
Rachel replied, giggling at her friend's eagerness. "There is not even a hint of a chance that it will sneak up on me.'' She paused before adding, "I've already gotten a lot of Herbology books so I believe I am covered when it comes to that subject.''

"A likely story. She definitely got it from you and your brain.'' Rachel was in awe of Garreth's knowledge, hence the nick name she had given him- The Walking Encyclopedia. "Awww, she is so adorable when she tries to squirm out of the tickling. Do you think we're over tickling her?'' Was there even such a thing? "I'm going to carry her home with me, Garreth.'' Rachel was teasing him but half of her really did want to take Effie home.

"Those do sound boring.'' The girl though that Garreth's dad was too serious. But her friend didn't seem to have taken in that direction of which she was glad. "I speak for them when I say apology accepted. Be warned, I'll be bringing one of them with me to Hogwarts.'' Rachel didn't think she could leave all of her cacti behind. "We'll have a tea party with it, Effie and Barkley. We'll also have spare bow ties for you.'' She giggled some more.

Why was Leopold Dudemeister-Quackenboss in Diagon Alley. Well first to check out all the women he deemed appropriate on his scale and the next he wanted to annoying his brother. Well that was the first. The girls was just a bonus of being here. Plus his scale was pretty intensive. If only Florian knew. Not that he would care the loser that he is. He walked into Florian's shop and looked around. You would think with the amount of time he spends here it would look better.

"WHOEVER RUNS THIS PLACE IS A LOSER WITH A CAPITAL L"


He would say something worse. But hey he was mindful of children in the store because it seemed like their were a couple small kids with their parents. He did not want the deviant reputation to spread outside the family. Well he did not care. But today he was trying.

"COME OUT FLOCKY I WANT TO BUY YOU A LEASH"

He would look good with one on him
