Chapter 2: Owl shopping

Moon and Alexa continued through the craziness of diagon alley. People were rushing here and there to get everything. Their next stop was to get Moon an owl.

Moon already had a cat at home who's name was Ghost. But since she was still just a kitten and she hated any human contact, so she couldn't go with Moon. Because of this, they decided that they were going to let her barrow Fern's black cat, Smokey. They also were getting her an owl so she wouldn't have to use a school one.

"So what type of owl do you want? There is a lot to pick from," Alexa asked Moon as they walked into the shop, they almost ran into a brown haired boy and giant man. Moon gave them a sideways glance before heading into the shop.

Moon wandered through the shop slowly looking at everything they had to see. Alexa was busy with buying the normal necessities for an owl. Moon continued to walk through the store. She walked by a cage with a barn owl laying asleep against it.

"Hiya," Moon said gently tapping the bars of the owls cage to wake it. The bird flipped out after being awaken and it snapped at Moon's finger and she jumped back quickly. "Well definitely not you, ya little brained bird." Moon continued to walk around the store stopping by several other owls who all still seemed to dislike her. She finally stopped at a young snowy owl. "Well, hi. Are you going to bite me or scratch my arm? Maybe trying to attack me in a foreign way?" Moon flinched expecting it to try to bother her but it just stared back at her. "Hm... finally, an owl that doesn't try to kill me. Do you want to come with me?" The owl bet it's wings gently against the cage bars and looked back up at Moon. Moon nodded at it and she grabbed the cage.

Moon carried the cage to the front desk where Alexa was waiting for her. Moon set down the cage and they purchased it and left.

"Nice choice, so what do you think you're goin' to name her?" Alexa said as she put away all of the new things she had bought.

"Hm, probably something to do with winter... Something snowy... Blizzard! Her name is going to be Blizzard. Thanks for getting her for me," Moon thanked Alexa with a quick hug and she nodded back.

They quickly collected all of the rest of Moon's school supplies. Moon was exhausted by this time and was only half paying any attention to were she was walking. She ended up bumming into several people who were glad to shove her right back. The one boy she bummed into when she was at the owl shop, she bummed once again into him getting a confused sideways glance in return.

Moon groaned with the extreme amount of supplies in her arms and Blizzard was stacked on top of it. She would screech every time Moon tried to tip over. It was starting to make Moon's head pound.

After a lot of getting through the crowd, Moon and Alexa made it into Sugarplum's. Once inside, Moon collapsed on the floor, Blizzard flapped crazily in her cage and screeched at her owner. Alexa when to go collect her five sons. While Alexa was gone, Moon busy collecting her supplies. She managed to stack it all up into nice pile when Alexa returned with her herd of sons.

The boys looked like they were already on a sugar high, constantly moving around and playing with the stuff they must have bought. You could tell by looking at Alexa's face that she was tired off all of this and probably just wanted to go home to sleep. She groaned and gave all of her sons 15 sickles each then quickly herded them into the shop with out another word. Alex came out back to Moon quickly after.

"Heh. Why does Fern like sons so much? Why did she decide to adopt so many crazy things," Alexa said chuckling to Moon. "Here," Alexa dropped a galleon and a couple sickles into her hand. "Buy somethings for yourself. You probably want a couple snacks for your trip to Hogwarts."

Moon smiled lightly up at her mother and nodded before dashing into the store.

Soon after, Moon and her brothers came out with a hand full of chocolate frogs, Drooble's best blowing gum, cauldron cakes, pumpkin pastries and anything else they could get their hand on. All of them seemed very content with their choices.

Moon walked over to put her candy with the rest of her items. She looked out the window and saw to blondes walking away from a store. She took one more curious look at them before turning and heading back to her family.

They were finally ready to leave this craziness and Moon couldn't have been more excited.
