Pick your pet, just don't(not)pick a rat Pet

Yay! Time for me to get my pet! As my mom, my brother Sammy, and I walked along the crammed walkway of Diagon Alley, I kept looking around everywhere. We had just gotten my school essentials, and as a birthday present, my mom decided to give me a pet! Where would I get one? The Magical Menagerie, so it seems! As we stepped inside the shop, I could see, and hear(and smell)the different animals who inhabited the place. "You can pick any pet you like," said mom. Just don't let it be a rat, please." I looked around at the animals in the shop. I could see different types of owls, cats, toads, rats, and some weird, super fluffy, pink and purple things. "Those are Pygmy Puffs," said Sammy, seeing my puzzled look. Pygmy Puffs? They weren't like anything we had back in my town of Folkestone! That's when an elderly man and woman came up to us and asked, "Are you looking for a pet?" "Yes," said mom, "We are looking for a pet. Ro here is going to Hogwarts for the first time." "Oh, that's wonderful!" said the woman. "I'm Ms. Witticker, dear. Would you like a sugar cookie?" Ms. Witticker asked, holding out a plate to me, which I didn't even know she had until just then. But would I like a sugar cookie? Of course I would! I eagerly took one(resisting the urge to snatch it)and stuffed it in my mouth. "I'm Mr. Witticker. Can I give you a tour of the shop?" said the elderly man, who I now knew as Mr. Witticker. We agreed, and he showed us the animals. Turns out, there are more animals! There are lizards(Sammy has one, actually), but they are too expensive. There are spiders, but mom has arachnophobia, and I don't want to freak out other students. There are snakes, but those are only for parslemouths(I don't know what that is, but I might find out soon). There are rabbits, though they just don't feel right for me. I'm not sure I would bond with them. The shop even has ferrets, though mom says no because they are burrowers, and where would a ferret be able to burrow at Hogwarts? So no. Finally, there's a fish, but Sammy thinks that I can't bring a fish to a magic school because it's allergic to fresh air, and I won't be able to take care of it. Argh! So what pet do I want? I spot a Brown Rat scratching at its cage and sniffing the air. There's something about that rat that seems...right. I grin and point to the rat. "You want a rat?! Oh, fine..." mom say, A little exasperated. Naturally, I picked a rat. Of course I picked a rat! I like rats! "That'll be 4 galleons and two sickles, please..." After that, the three of us walked out of the shop. "What're you gonna name it?" Sammy asked. "First of all, it's a SHE. Second of all...her name is gonna be..." I thought for a minute. "Cocoa," I said. "I'll name her Cocoa."
