[There appears to be a new shop in town, an interesting variety of things visible through the store's glass window front. The most of notable seemed to be a group of strange black creatures - they seemed to be fighting over a small silver bell in an almost vicious manner. . . But you could also see aquariums of fish, spiders, lizards and various other small creatures as well as a litter of small long haired kittens of varying coloration and markings that seemed to be contented to play with the different cat toys in their displays.

As if he'd just noticed their destructive behavior, the dark haired teenager that had previously been at the counter came into view through the window, wand in hand as he decided that he should likely try to sort out the dark creatures. According to the signage nearby, they were called 'Nifflers' and there was a description basically stating that they were creatures often used by goblins to search for treasure, liked shiny things and warning the customer to remove all shimmery or metallic objects before handling them. Oh, and of course, a disclaimer.

'ATTENTION: Purchase at your own risk! Sirius Black and Padfoot's Pet Palace is not to be held accountable for any damage caused to personal property, houseguests, fingers, or. . . any kind of damage in general caused by these little buggers. You've been warned.']

"OI OI!! CUT THAT OUT!! . . . PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!"

[. . He had clearly obtained his wand at some point. . .and the poor Nifflers that happened to be the targets of the spell stopped moving entirely as Sirius reached in to take the little bell to toss it to the kittens. He had no idea how part of their toy had gotten in there. . .]

[Chrome had wandered in out of curiosity due to the commotion, but the tiny felines switched her focus as soon as she spotted them. She was fond of cats, and it was entirely obvious by that soft, pleased little smile on her face as she gently rubs a calico behind the ears. The owl on her shoulder, on the other hand, seems less impressed and is instead cocking its head at the Nifflers.]

[Once his hands were out of the way of the Nifflers, he pulled his hand back pointing his wand at them with a 'Rennervate!' and the Nifflers resumed their. . .whatever it is they do when they've got nothing shiny to fight over before looking over at Chrome with a grin. The little calico was now pressing in the petting with a constant purr issuing from it.]

" . .Think she likes you~"

I used to have one...

[She nearly died trying to save it from that car, too. After a moment more, she looks to you, still giving the kitten some attention as well via petting. Her smile's become more shy, but she's already made a decision, so all that's left to do is ask.]

How much...?

[He seems to be giving it a moment of thought before offering a grin.]

". . Well, you're my first customer and Padfoot seemed to think you were fun to play ball with . . . So. . . How about. . . free of charge?"

[Chrome blinks at that, a brief look of surprise before it shifts back to a smile.]

So he was yours? Thank you very much.

"Sort of. Padfoot doesn't really belong to much of anyone. He just kind of goes as he pleases. Normally he's around with me or my friends though - you might see him with Remus quite a bit too."
