"Last thing." Barnaby panted. "Pet."   
"I'm so excited." I laughed, holding my shoulder. "I've always wanted an owl."   
We walked in and I instantly walked over to the section that said 'Owls' and a sign saying 'Tawnies'. Barnaby looked at the cats out of interest while our parents were outside. They had given me money. There were only two tawny owls left but it was easy to choose. One looked a bit haughty and it kept trying to nip the other one. He, however, looked sensible but also kind. 
"Hello there." I said gently. I walked up to counter. "Hi, can I have this owl please?"   
"Of course!" Smiled the man behind the desk. "Lovely choice." 
I put the required money on his desk as he opened the square cage and put him in a smaller one. "There you go!"  
"Thank you!"   
"Hey, tawny boy." I whispered. "Actually, that's a good name." I laughed as he nibbled on my finger happily. "Come on, Tawny."  
"Hey, Lily!" Barnaby walked up to me. "Aw, he's cute. What's his name?"   
"Tawny." I shrugged.   
"Meh, don't worry. I named my cat Ginger."   
We burst out laughing.     
"Hey Barney, what's the time?" Dad asked.   
"Umm.." Barney paused as he held his wrist up to his eyes and read the time. "8:50."     
"Oh, not too bad then." Dad said. I was confused but then I was pulled into a fireplace, heard the shout "Hogwarts Express!" and was enveloped in emerald green flames.
