Diagon Alley street. Hermione with Ron walking on the street. She can manage herself without her parents' company. She is now in third year. What school stuff she needs, she'll do all herself.

"Ron, should we go to Magical Menagerie?"

"For what?"

"I'm seeking an owl for myself".

"That's brilliant. You really need that bird for yourself. I've never been there before. Lucky I have Scabbers with me".

Ron pulled out his pet from pocket. He is an old, rather useless rat and Ron pretends to hate him, but he is secretly very attached to the rat. Scabbers used to belong to Ron's older brother, Percy.

"You keep your Rat inside your pocket? Is it breathing?"

"What question is that?"

The Magical Menagerie was a magical creature shop in North Side, Diagon Alley, across the street from Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor.

Hermione and Ron enter the shop.

There were cages of pets on display. It was very cramped, noisy and smelly with every inch of wall covered by cages. It sold all kinds of animals - Streelers, Fire Crabs, sleek black rats that were very intelligent owls, ravens, cats, of every color. Puffskeins, transforming rabbits and much more.

"Good day. Welcome to Magical Menagerie". said the saleswoman in a smile. "What kind of pets do you like dear?" As she asks Hermione.

Hermione nodded her head. "Can we look around?"

"Of course dear. Have yourself. If you need my assistance.. I'm right here".

Ron feels a bit weird towards the saleswoman. He turns to Hermione that she's already gone from his sight.

"Hermione..." He looked for her. "Stop leaving me". He walked behind her.

"Oh, Ron. Nobody is trying to eat you here".

From the corner of her eyes, she spotted something and turned to look. There is a half-Kneazle cat as evidenced by his lion-like appearance.

Hermione gently approaches the cat.. smiling. As the first time her eyes meet this cat, Hermione falls in love.

"Crookshanks".

Hermione and Ron turn to the saleswoman. "That's the cat's name, Crookshanks. I had purchased him and stated that he had been in the shop for a long time as nobody wanted him".

Ron turns to Crookshanks. He studied the cat. "I wonder why. This cat is a bloody monster".

"Shut up, Ron! I want him". Hermione said to the saleswoman. "I purchased Crookshanks. That's my final word".

"You bought that monster?"

"He's gorgeous, isn't he?"

"I thought you wanted an owl".

Hermione quickly grabs Crookshanks out of his cage. She hears Crookshanks purring then jumps on top of Ron's head.

"Make it stop!"

"It's just a cat, Ronald".

Just then Crookshanks attempts to attack the rat from Ron pocket, and Scabbers promptly dashes out of the shop down Diagon Alley, taking refuge under a wastepaper bin outside Quality Quidditch Supplies.

"See.. see. That monster scared Scabbers!". Ron leaves the store searching for Scabbers.

Hermione smiles, Crookshanks on her arm.
