A New Start
28 December 2024
Hearing the clinging of the bell above her as she entered the dusty and dim shop, Beatrice couldn't help but remember the first time she had been here. It had been just before her first year at Hogwarts, with both of her parents in tow behind the eager soon to be 11 year old. Havin been brought up on a farm, Beatrice had seen all kinds of animals. But it had been the sunshine coloured raincloud of a rabbit that had caught her attention. She had loved Eos from the moment she'd first held him, both feet kicking in the air. They'd had multiple adventures since, and if Bea thought about it for too long, a crushing pain would enter her chest. Her first camp, her first duel, meeting all of her friends, having them visit her family at home. It had been highlight after highlight. But that had come crushing down last year. Instead of the bright easygoing Scottish farm life that she and Eos had enjoyed, they'd been shipped off England. From there everything had dissolved. Her grandparents, who she now refused to speak to, had decided Eos was an outdoor bunny. Nothing of the creature comforts could be given. Her Ma could see that Bea wasn't happy with the situation and had tried. But it didn't help much. Not when her Ma herself didn't have much sway with her in-laws.
Beatrice had come back back over the Summer to discover her beloved pet dead. It hadn't been a pretty sight. Eos' cage stored in the sun with little shade had left the poor animal defenseless, and her grandparents hadn't cared much. Robust as he was, he wasn't superbunny. Bea had cried and screamed and raged for hours until her voice had gone hoarse. She'd watched as her mother, not her father had dug a hole for her rabbit to be buried in. That had been the last straw for the two witches. That night she and her mother packed their bags and left. Her father said nothing. Her sister Ella had only cried but the look on her face was plain to see. This was breaking her heart. Bea's too. But they were too different. A non-magical sister and a magical one in the same family. It was too much, to painful for their parents and this would be the only way to fix it. Penelope and Bea would go back to the magical, and Ella and Angus would stay in the muggle...
Bea blinked at the recent memories flooding her mind. All this because of the sight of a room. There were lots of animals, some strange and new, some older and more familiar to the fifteen year old. Beatrice scanned the room, seeing if anything grabbed her attention. Nothing immeidately, but the barking sure did. She frowned, not remembering dogs being a part of the inventory from the Menagerie. But as she drew closer to the sound, Bea gasped. Crups! Or well, half-crups. One little puppy caught her eye. A black and white puppy with black patches wiggling their tail at the sight of her. This was the one. The one that would make everything alright again.
