Today had been a long time coming. Adopting a pet had been a plan of Percy's for as long as he could remember, but he never had the chance until now. His parents had always welcomed stray cats to get food from their manor and even roam the grounds as they pleased, yet they never owned one for themselves. If he was to get one, he'd need to pay out of his own pocket and take full responsibility for the safety of the pet, to which Percy was more than capable of doing.

In terms of the cat itself, he was looking for one that wasn't overly excitable or attention seeking. One that would be calm and only required attention on its own terms. Cats like this were hard to find, but magical menagerie was known to provide the best animals the wizarding world had to offer.

Percival made his way into the quiet store and was instantly greeted by an older woman behind the front desk, a friendly smile forming across her face as he approached "How can I help you young man?" she enquired as Percival swiveled his head back from looking around the shop. "I'm here to look at a few cats, and possibly take one," he said back to her in his normal expressionless state. The woman nodded slowly "Lovely, describe to me what kind of furball you're looking for" she questioned this time, trying to get a good idea of what suited the boy most "One that is disciplined and calm, yet I doubt you'll have many of them..." he sighed while his eyes caught a glint of surprise through the woman eyes "Well, young man, there is one cat that may be a perfect fit"

After coming around from the desk she leads Percival to a large room, littered with different cats which were quietly staring at him when he entered "This particular cat has been with us for a while, and we've had trouble even getting any interest in him. But hopefully, you'll be the one"[/color] she gleamed back before walking over to a cage and unlocking it "Now be cautious, he only likes things on his own terms and doesn't take too kindly to over excitable people" she warned. Percival nodded calmly and watched her open the cage.

Sheepishly a Silver Siberian jumped down from the cage and to the floor. The cat nonchalantly stretched its legs out and glared at the new face, studying Percival as he gave his own examination of the cat. Gray studied the fluffy fur of the feline and almost instantly saw the scar across its eye "How did he get that?" the prefect said with a motion to his own eye, a question the owner was hesitant to answer "A fight with another cat. His vision is fine, all it left was a nasty cut as you can see" she said rather worryingly. Percival wasn't put off by the battle scar by any means, a single thing didn't define what a person was.

Carefully Gray knelt down to one knee and extended his hand out, allowing the cat to come when it was most curious "We always had a few strays come by the estate, some of which were hesitant with human interaction. All you have to do is let them approach in their own time..." Percival said to the woman, as the cat glared at him rather boringly

Although, after a few minutes the cat seemed to get more and more curious about how the boy was acting with him. Compared to most kids this one was more reserved than the rest and actually respected his space. The cat slowly got up from his sitting position and approached with a slow movement of his tail, the bridge of his nose soon sniffing the edge of his fingers "I haven't seen him do that before, especially on the first time of meeting" she said in an impressed tone

As time went on the calm and reluctant cat got more confident, even beginning to our when Percival gave him a gentle stroke. He didn't know what it was, but he had a special thing with animals. He knew inside he had a gift of gaining their trust, such as the special case here. Nonetheless, Gray had already decided his decision to take home the cat "I'll take him..." he said finally, knowing there was still a lot of work and practice to put into the feline.
