Searching For an Owl Solo Finished

Amanda walked through Diagon Alley, her arms loaded with school supplies. Her older sister Leslie and her twin brother Johnny trailed behind her. Amanda glanced at her list. The only thing left to buy was a pet. She let her siblings know where she was going and then started for the Magical Menagerie. Amanda pushed open the door and stepped inside as the little bell tinkled overhead. The shop was filled with all sorts of animals. Amanda set her supplies down in a corner and walked around. There were owls of all different shapes and sizes lined against the wall in their cages. There were cats sleeping contentedly and toads hopping all over the place. There were even bats and other unique pets, waiting for a witch or wizard to come purchase them. Amanda crouched down next to a tabby cat. It opened its eyes and studied her lazily. No, a cat wouldn’t be a right fit, Amanda decided as she stood up. She strolled over to the toads. Ew, she thought and walked away. Amanda glanced at the owls. A particular one caught her eye. It was a tawny owl, with a small body and intelligent chocolate-colored eyes. Amanda strode over to that little owl and studied it. The owl seemed to study her back, blinking and tilting its head. Amanda grinned and picked up the cage, knowing that this was the one. She brought it to the front desk and paid for it. Looking at her new owl fondly, Amanda decided to name him Scarn, after an FBI agent on her favourite show. Then she grabbed her other supplies and left the shop, feeling excited for the new school year.
