"He burns my skin. Never mind about the shape I'm in. I'll keep you safe tonight." ~ S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
I couldn't process what was happening, I had begged my mama for a pet for years. Not just because they were amazing and fun and not to mention adorable, but also because I could have something that wouldn't judge me and live me entirely for being me. A loyal companion that would never ever leave my side. But sadly, my mama told me no and gave me a lecture about why we couldn't get a pet, we lived in a small apartment in New Jersey, there was no room for a pet to run around and stretch it's legs. Plus, they were messy and required a large amount of responsibility. You know the same story that all parents tell their kids so that they will stop pestering them about it, and it worked. I stopped asking about it entirely, until I turned 10 that is. I begged my mama over and over I make a convincing argument and speech about why I was responsible and why I deserved a pet, none of which I can remember now. But she stuck to her answer, no. There still wasn't enough place for a pet and plus they wouldn't be able to afford it, plus they had to feed it, clean it, take it to the vet, and everything. I was stumped, everything changed though once I turned 11 and was sent to leave with my grandfather in Godric Hollow, England in our family mansion. And even more so when I learned I would be staying in a dorm within the walls of hogwarts, there was no reason why I couldn't have one now! I sent the owl to my mama, I expected the same answer as I had received countless times. But I was caught off guard when I got something different, yes! She thought I was a gold idea for me to have a friend to be able to take with me and be able to be there for me when she couldn't. A companion, she had sent the money inside the owl and I was allowed to go to the magical menagerie to obtain my dream pet. I was ecstatic, I didn't even bother getting dressed that morning, I stayed in my skeleton onesie. My grandfather told me he was going to talk to Mr. Witticker, who I guessed run this place with his sweet wife. I spotted her with a platter of cookies as she walked about talking to children and adults who were looking at pets, she offered some to those who behaved well. I smiled as I saw all the wonderful animals, my favorite animal was a Unicorn... But Im pretty sure it was illegal to own and keep a unicorn, or maybe not, I honestly had no clue. So instead I did the next best thing, I decided to get a cat... I loved cats so very much, they were quiet, sweet, with large eyes and whiskers and they purred, not many animals purr. Also they love a good cuddle, I used to feed this cat that used to sneak into out backyard every morning I would leave out some milk and watch from the window as he ran out of a nearby bush and licked the bowl til it was empty. I was around 4 years old at the time I believe, I used to call the cat Mitch it was white with orange stripes. One day though, Mitch stopped coming, I don't know why or I just don't remember. I looked at the cats, some looked stuck-up and paid no attention to me whilst others were kind and sweet, I was wondering how I would ever find which one was for me when my large hazel eyes met large grayish-blue ones, the cat was still a kitten, I smiled and it seemed so did the kitten. I tilted my head, and so did the kitten, I stuck out my hand to let it get use to my scent, I had just put on pomegranate hand lotion before I came into the store. I was rewarded with a small sand-paper tongue licking my hand. The kitten had sleek silver-fur with dark stripes, the sign read "Gray Mackerel Tabby." I shook my head already knowing the small things name.
"Nice te meet ya Lotion," I smiled.
