Chapter Four: Cats and Complainings

Chapter Four - Cats and Complaining

Max's Pov

We were walking towards the bookstore, 'Flourish and Blotts' or something weirdly called , Nudge running her mouth about fifty miles an hour and that is when, suddenly, Angel stopped walking, clapped her hands to her mouth face, made a noise that was very similar to a dying banshee , and cried out at the top of her lungs, "OHMYGOODNESSMAXLOOKATTHATKITTENITSSOADORABLEMAYIPRETTYPLEASEHAVEITFORHOGWARTSPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE?!"

I cringed at the quick succession of loud, annoying sounds, made a thumbs-up to the crowd that had gathered, and herded the flock away, having to drag Angel. "WHY CAN'T I HAVE THE KITTEN ITS SO CUTE!!!!" Angel wails as I haul her over my back practically pounding her tiny fists against my back, which honestly didn't hurt.. at all.

"Angel, Honey, you know that we are not only not able to afford it, but who would look after it when you are gone doing something yourself." I try to explain to Angel.

"Buuuut Max both Angel, Gazzy, and me all want some sort of animal, right guys?" Nudge tries to explain to me, but I honestly don't believe her, because right when she says Gazzy's name his head launches up, extremely clueless about what is going on.

Probably because he was planning on his next bomb. "Guys how many times do I have to say this but we are not getting an......" I stop right in my sentence because Angel was giving me those Bambi eyes she's oh so famous for.

*Angel* Mommy, can me and Nudge pleasssse get a baby kitten or some type of animal?

*Me* Sorry, but it doesn't count as school supplies, so the school won't fund it.

*Angel* Please Mommy, I won't become evil again...

*Me* Angel, there isn't anything I can do about it, but if I could, I would.

*Angel* Fine. I'll just get it myself.

I watch as Angel stalks off into the pet store, Magical Menagerie, and starts speaking to the clerk with what looks like her Bambi eyes. She points to the kitten, which is sleeping in its cage in the window, looking, honestly very cute, then turns to the clerk, obviously using her 'persuasion' powers.

The clerk, looking dazed, nods his head and then walks slowly over to cage, takes the kitten out, grabs a bag of kitten food, a bowl set, and a bow, then piles all of the listed above into Angel's arms. As she walks back to the flock, she has a look of haughty achievement on her face.

Dumbledore then looks extremely shocked and in astonishment at this news. He then, after about a minute of just about having his mouth touching the ground he says. "Angel, do you promise to never, EVER, do that, what ever that was, in Hogwarts or to any of the professors or students." Angel just nodded with a sly smile that Dumbledore somehow didn't catch. Oh god, something very, very bad is going to happen when we get to Hogwarts.

*Angel* Oh whatever do you mean dearest mommy?

*Me* I hate it when you read a thought that I didn't aim at you.

*Angel* But that was directed to me, sorta.

*Me* No, it was a thought of dread and apprehension about you..

*Angel* Ugh whatever Mommy.

Angel then gives me a pouty face, which I return with sticking my tongue out at her, I know, so mature. But hey, we raised ourselves, I'm pretty sure we turned out OK-ish. Gazzy started to tug on Dumbledore's arm sleeve thing and immediately said."Oh and I forgot to ask this, but I may or may not have brought an iPod with me, Mr. Dumble, and I was wondering if it would work in Hogwarts." I immediately eyes rolled at The Gasman's actions.

"No, Mr. Gasman, Muggle technology doesn't work inside Hogwarts grounds. I'm sorry if this will hinder your... music listening," Dumbledore replies with a knowing smile.

"Awwwww, man," Gazzy says in return, "Then how am I going to listen to my music....."

"I suppose you will just have to sing it yourself," Iggy adds in with a sarcastic tone, "Anyone who has had the... torture.... of hearing you sing in the shower knows we're all in for a treat." right when he says that the entire flock just groans in agreement.

Gazzy then tackles Iggy, and they wrestle on the ground for a moment before Fang kicks them both, lightly, in the head, and they stand up rubbing their head groaning and mumbling together "Really Fang?"

"Yeah you two are a horrible example for Angel." Fang mumbled back to the two aggravating boys.

"We know," they reply in happy unison.

"Besides, you can't hit a blind guy, Gazzy," Iggy turns on his comrade indignantly. People around us, I mean wizards, start to give us questioning looks.

"Because you're oh so helpless," The Gasman replies. Fang kicks them both again, and we continue to walk with Dumbledore towards the end of the block.

"Hey, Mr. Dumbledore, I don't mean to be rude or anything like that, but why are we walking towards a, uh, brick wall?" Nudge asks cautiously.

"Oh, I don't mind, and we are going towards the entrance, well right for us its the exit, to Diagon Alley." We continue towards the wall in confusion, and when we get there, Dumbledore gets out his wand, or stick with magical properties to it as I like to call it, and taps it a few times in different places, until it slowly withdraws into an archway. As we all step through, it closes again with a sound like rough gravel on flat tires. We go through a normal door into a tavern-like setting.

"Welcome to the Leaky Cauldron!" An old, bald man with many wrinkles on his face, announces from behind a bar counter at the other end of the room. After declining a drink and getting more than a few strange looks from the witches and wizards and... others... in the room, we step through the main entrance into the not-so-bright day in London, UK.

"OMGweareinLondon!!" Nudge screamed into practically all of our ears. She would have kept on rambling on and on and on if Iggy, again, didn't stop her. Everyone, yes even including mysterious, never revealing emotions dude, Fang, had his eyes wide open mouth partly open, Angel was just jumping up and down over and over again with Nudge. Talking about how excited they are to be here and possibly the new, hot British guys (insert eye roll here)As we stroll around London, making different kinds of "oohs" and "awes" at a few different things. And also can't forget trying to hold back Nudge from attacking every hot British guy she finds. We may or may have not stopped in some shops to look at some different stuff... oops?

After we walk out of an apparently 'Cat Cafe', Dumbledore stopped us all to say " Sorry to say this.... but you see now, the train to Hogwarts left the station about..." he pauses for a second to check a pocket watch or something, "About 20 minutes ago."

"WHAT!"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US!?!"

"HUHHH?"

I don't know if you can tell which person said which so, I will help you a bit, the person that said what, that was me *insert awkward smile here*, the second one was Nudge, by how long it was you should have known, and the shortest one was Fang, obviously. "Yes, well you see, all of you were having a splendid time with smiles on your faces and stars in your eyes that I didn't have the heart to tell you..." Dumbledore explained, nervously? We all did agree, with small nods of the heads and a bit of mind power thanks to little Angel.
