Ivy's Thoughts Ivy Talking

The crisp autumn air gave Ivy a chill as she held her mom's hand, softly walking through the path down Diagon Alley. How chilly Ivy thought
Her hair was in braids, and she wore black jeans and a dark yellow sweater over that. The wind brushed her face with its coldness as her mother smiled at her."You'll do great," her mum said. "Have fun," she continued, letting go of Ivy’s hand to wave to her. Ivy nodded. Ivy then walked into Magical Menagerie. The smell of sugar cookies and Hot wood came over her and made Ivy think of her childhood summers at her grandma's house on the outskirts of London. Ivy looked around and noticed all of the pets lined around the room how cute ivy thought to herself, noting the wall of cats
Ivy walked up to the back of the shop where there were two older people, a male about the height of six feet, with broad shoulders and a slight pot belly. He wore a brimmed hat, blue jeans, and a flannel shirt with checkered patterns. He is wearing wire-framed glasses. The woman next to him is slightly smaller than he is, and she is dressed in a lovely purple floral dress. Her short, white hair is curled and nicely styled, and she is wearing minimal makeup, just some lip gloss and a little mascara.
Ivy put her hands on the counter and looked around while speaking to the people
“Hi, my name is Ivy Elks, I’m a first-year and I would like to buy a pet,” Ivy said smiling, the man glanced at her also smiling "What kind of pet?" He asked politely.
“Well, I wanted something that could run around, play, or make noise. Do you have any suggestions?” She answered with a smile. He smiled wider then turned to his wife “Anita?” he asked. Anita looked from Ivy to the man, and nodded, Then she pointed behind Ivy toward the cats "They might work, the Silver Mackerel Tabby is the perfect fit for what you described" Anita replied with a soft, motherly tone.
Ivy turned and looked at the many cats lined against the wall "Which kind of cat is that?" Ivy asked curiously, pointing at a cat that looked like a cheetah to a jaguar
"That's a Bengal" Anita replied, walking over to Ivy and grabbing another cat next to the Bengal, it was grey and had black stripes, "however, this is called a Silver Mackerel Tabby" Anita commented, picking up the cat
"Beautiful," Ivy said sighing in awe, "But I think I'm going to get the Bengal" She added, Anita chuckled and nodded
"Whatever you would like Ivy" Anita said as she grabbed the Bengal and walked to the counter "How much would that be Ernest?" Anita asked her husband
"17 galleons" Ernest Replied, Anita nodded and turned back to Ivy "do you have that much?"
Ivy took out a little leather bag filled with her coins "I think so..." Ivy trailed off, counting the galleons quietly "Yeah, here" Ivy said handing over the galleons.
"And what would you like to name her?" Anita asked curiously, Ivy thought for a minute and looked into the cats yellow eyes
"Ophelia" Ivy replied
"Ophelia it is!! now, Ophelia is only 3, are you okay with that" Anita curiously asked, Ivy nodded. Anita then spoke to Ernest again "i think it a perfect fit Ernest what do you think" Anita said
Ernest looked at Ophelia for a moment and then nodded again "Yes that works" He said. Anita handed over the galleons to Ernest and they gave the cat to ivy who held her happily
"You are gonna be a great companion" Ivy whispered. The cat purred and nuzzled her neck
"Thank you very much, we hope we see you again soon Ivy," Anita said
As Ivy and her mom both left the shop, Ivy walked away from the store humming softly to herself. I have never been more excited for a cat, she thought to herself.
