Freya enters the shop and is taken aback by all the adorable creatures there! Except for lizards and frogs and rodents, she hates those. Well she doesn't exactly hate them she's just scared of them because of some terrible childhood experiences.
"ah man i wish I could adopt them all!" she thinks to herself.
Freya loves animals but unfortunately for her her parents only gave her enough money to buy one!

"Hello dear! How can I help you?"
A short woman wearing an adorable floral dress approaches Freya.
"hey! I'm looking for a pet? Specifically a cat!" Freya says with a huge smile and enthusiasm in her voice.
"Ah! Excellent choice dear! Cats are just some lovely creatures aren't they? I'm Anita by the way. Anita Witticker!" She introduces herself with a bright smile.

"I'm Freya! Freya Augustus! It's so nice to meet you Mrs. Witticker!" Freya replies with a smile.

Anita laughs a little "nice to meet you too dear. You said you were looking for cats! Now let's see...."
She starts walking to the back of the store with her index finger pointing towards the cages.
"hmmm they're not here... Wait a second dear I'll get my husband! Feel free to look arround though! She smiles and goes into a room and Freya nods in response.

A tall man with a white beared and a pot belly makes his way with Anita towards Freya.
"Now Freya i heard you'd like to adopt a cat!" he asks with a sweet smile.
"ah yes actually!" Freya replies with a smile.
"well follow us! I think you'll like these lovelies in the back right here!" he says while leading both Freya and Anita to the back of the store where cages were stacked with reptiles on the top, frogs below them, rodents below the frogs and finally cats!
"so thats a red mackerel" Ernest says and opens the cage for Freya to pet it.

The cat comes out of the cage slowly and Freya moves her hand forward to try and pet her when the cat decides to bite her finger.

"Owwwww" Freya immediately pulls her hand away and flicks it.
"oh dear! Is there any blood?" He asks examining the finger.
"oh dear I'll get the first aid-" as she was about to rush to get the first aid kit Freya interupts her.
"nooo, no need! I'm fine" she smiles.
"alright well dear here's a Gray Mackerel Tabby!"
Ernest opens the cage and the cat slowly comes out and Freya puts her forward ones again. The cat sniffs her hand and moves closer and rests her head on Freya's knee.
"well looks like you both found a new friend huh?"
He asks with a smile.
"I'll take her!
Freya picks up the cat and jumps up excitedly!

They all walk towards the counter
"So what are you planning on naming her Freya?" Ernest asks sweetly.
"I'm thinking fuzzy? Or maybe cookie!" Freya says with childlike enthusiasm.
Ernest chuckles and says, "that'll be 10 galleons!"
[color=#00094]"ah yes![/color] Freya holds cookies in her left hand while her right hand digs through her pockets and takes out 10 galleons as asked.
"here you go!"
She puts her hand full of shiny coins forward and Ernest takes them and puts them in a drawer.
"hope you treat cookie well and cookie treats you well Freya!" Ernest says with a little laugh.
"Have fun with your new friend dear!" Anita smiles.
"we will!"
Freya strokes cookie's fur and exits the store with a huge smile.

"oh darling of mine, please don't let go"
