It Squeaks! Solo pet

Edme hadn't been one for loud places, especially when you could hear the crow of an owl mixing with the meow of a cat. Stepping into the quaint little shop, the first year would admit it was discomforting to be in such a small place with so many animals.

She had strayed off from her foster mothers, assuring them she would be back in ten minutes. Of course, that put her in a weird position, so looking to them you would find a fast step in her gait, and a look of determined yet anxious preparation.

A quick glance at the shop told them this was going to be difficult. She tried to separate the animal so that it could seem more individual rather than just another creature in the menagerie. The toads had a nice look to them, but slimy, leaping things weren't their favorite. The owls would be too big to handle, and the thought of the squawking and screaming would be too much. The cats seemed nice, but Edme had heard word of cats being a little messy if not properly trained.

Things weren't looking so well, and the Ravenclaw considered simply getting a goldfish and leaving. But then cleaning the tank would be a hassle.

"Anything catch your eye yet?" a kind voice asked from the desk, and Edme turned to see a kind looking lady with a floral dress and a petite frame. She smiled at the first year warmly.

"Oh, no, not yet." Edme replied sheepishly, her gaze trailing the surrounding shelves.

Just before they could turn around and leave, a small but noticeable sound peeped out from close by. Turning to see where it came from, Edme's eyes trailed to a little pink ball of fluff that sat just below. And by fluff, they meant fluff.

With a soft pink fur color and a button nose, it was noticeably small, most of its size coming from the puff of fur that crowded around it like a little shield. It squeaked again, a cute little squeak that made you want to smile or say, "awww." It rolled over once.

Edme knelt to see it face to face, a small smile playing on her lips. "Hello there." they whispered, not entirely sure why she was talking to a strange fluffy creature. It squeaked again, and Edme had decided all too quickly which animal would be hers.

Getting up to go to the front desk, Edme greeted the couple at the front desk politely. "I've made my choice." she pointed to the pink creature. "That one, please.

The man smiled. "A Pygmy Puff. Wonderful choice."
