Pettely stared at his pet cat, smiling, and thought back to how he bought this bundle of joy...

Pettely had just finished shopping in Flourish and Blotts with his father, and now they were looking for proper Wizard Clothes to buy while Pettely's dad tried to start a conversation, but Pettely, not getting the hint, politely listened. "How weird can clothes be?" Then he anxiously continued "Are you going to dress up like that witch from the Wizard Of Oz?" he asked, half joking and half serious. "It says you have to purchase a black, pointed hat! Blimey, Pettely! I thought only witches wore..."-but Pettely no longer was listening as he was reading a poster that was roughly taped on the wall of a shop that read 'Magical Menagerie! Pets on sale!' Pettely who always had an immense love for creatures didn't need to read another word, he threw the books he was holding on to his poor father's hands and immediately ran for the door to the shop."Pettely! No! Wait!" His father exclaimed as he dropped the books from his hands (which were admittedly one of the scariest objects he had ever seen from his perspective) on to the ground like it was a hot potato. Pettely's father glanced around to see if his son was around, and when he realized that he didn't remember witch shop (pun intended) that Pettely went in, he cursed angrily and was extremely exasperated at his son for not even telling him where he was exactly going.

When Pettely had entered the shop, he immediately noticed the smell of multiple furr and feathers, it smelled extremely like being in one of those animal farms, and he even noticed some of the feathers laying on the ground, but however, Pettely thought the overall vibe in the pet shop was very relaxing and pleasant with all the owls' light but delightful hooting, and little kids saying hi to the furry creatures that were all around the shop.

Then all of a sudden, Pettely thought of himself riding on a great, magnificent and magical dragon with its glorious and coruskating golden scales, traveling all over the world with his faithful companion, he couldn't help but grin at this thought. So, very thrilled, he asked a short, old lady with a very kind smile at the shop counter, "Do you sell dragons?" "Oh! Yes we do!" The shop lady kindly replied with a very friendly voice. "Come on, dear! I'll gladly show you!" The old lady led extremely excited Pettely on to the section of reptiles and pointed at the small lizard with no wings and looked to have no magical powers at all. "This is a bearded dragon, do you like it?" The old lady asked. The thrilled smile on Pettely's face faded quickly and got turned in to a disappointed frown. "Uh...no thanks." He said, trying to cover up his disappointment as best as he could. Nevertheless, the old lady seemed to notice his sorrow. "I knew you were expecting to see big glorious dragons with wings that breathes fire, but I am afraid I don't sell such creatures, dear." Pettely also noticed that the old lady was now trying to hold back tears. "and it breaks my heart to see childrens' disappointed faces every time I point at the bearded dragon when they were expecting to see a glorious beast that breathes fire, but dragons are very expensive and dangerous creatures." Pettely was now feeling very sorry for the sad old lady and trying to cheer her up, he awkwardly said "It's okay, my parents probably wouldn't let me have one anyways. After Pettely said that, the old lady stopped being on the verge of crying and said "but I think your parents will let you have that Red Mackerel Tabby that has been trying to get your attention for the past 30 seconds though!" At first he didn't know what she was talking about, but then, Pettely saw a small cat spinning in his cage trying to get his attention. At that moment, he knew what his pet would be.

Minutes later, Pettely exited the store walking with a small cat beside him and his dad who has finally found him inside the pet shop.
