It’s a little chilly pets

I smile excitedly as I practically drag my grandmother to Magical Menagerie. Last year when I say this place I fell in love with an owl. She was a snow owl. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I had my father take me in there to look. And I begged my father to get me her. He said next time we came he’ll get it.

So here we are. Technically only me because my grandma is taking me because my father said he was to busy and whatever. My grandma wouldn’t have that so she argued with him and then took me. She was pretty angry at first but after we got ice cream she chilled out a little.

I swing open the door to Magical Menagerie and take a deep breath. I make a face. It doesn’t smell how I excepted it to smell like. I thought it would smell like a freaking zoo! Not cinnamony. It smells delicious!

My grandma notices my face I was making, “What’s wrong dear? Forget something? It doesn’t smell bad in here so that can’t be it.”

I laugh slightly as I smile excitedly at her, “I know! I thought it was going to smell nasty.! I’m sooooo excited!” I drag her to the snow owl, “That’s the owl I’m going to get! I think I’m going to name her ummm,” I run through all the names I’ve been thinking of. Then it hits me! “I’m going to name her Winter Emiline Grey!” My grandma laughs.

Just then two people come out from the back. They were two old people. Older than my grandma! They both had white hair and looked extremely sweet and friendly.

My grandma walks to them and shakes their hands. I wave hello at them.

“Hello! Welcome to Magical Menagerie! How could we help you?” The lady smiles as she says this.

Not being able to contain myself I burst out, “I’m going to get an owl! The female snow owl over there!” I point towards her.

The man laughs and smiles, “Alright then! We’ll get her over here then!”

He goes and grabs her. He brings her over to me and hands her to me. My smile widens as he hands her too me. “What are you going to name her?” He asks.

I tell him the name. We take her up front for I could finally adopt her. “15 Galleons please” My grandma hands him the money.

After we finish he smile at me. “Take good care of the old girl.” I promise him I will and we leave the store. I hug my grandma once we’re out, “Thank you thank you thank you!!!!”

My grandma smiles as she hugs me back. Once we get home I show my parents.

“What’s her name?” My mother asks.

I smile at her as I say, “Winter Emiline Grey”
