The Magical Menagerie that was Lillian’s favourite place to go in Diagon Alley, she loved to go there and had hoped to one day take over it, she knew the owners Ophelia and Ezekiel Kerr, they were a lovely couple and had allowed Lillian to work at the Menagerie during the summer holidays. Her favourite magical creature was the baby nifflers, they were so cute, she had one at home which she called Topaz as she had Topaz coloured eyes. It was a. Dry busy day at Diagon Alley, so Lillian had agreed to work that day to help around the store, she had already gotten her stuff for 6th year, so she helped around the shop. There was a ‘ding’ of the door.
“Hello Lillian” a soft singing voice said
Lillian turned around, she was face to face with her three best friends, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley and Hermione Granger.
“Hey ladies, what are you interested in?” Lillian asked
“Can we just have a look around?” Ginny asked
“Yeah sure, give me a call when you've found what your looking for” Lillian said.
She then went over to two first years.
“Hello do you need any help?” Lillian asked
“Hello, my name is Erica” The girl with red hair said. She had one green eye and one blue eye, “I really want that cat, it looks just like me”she smiled
“She, does doesn’t she, is it your first year at Hogwarts ?” Lillian asked, taking the ginger cat with different coloured eyes out of her cage.
“Yeah, did you go to Hogwarts?” The boy asked
“I still go, I’m in Ravenclaw house” Lillian smiled
“Cool, I want to be in Ravenclaw” Erica beamed taking her cat from Lillian
“In my opinion Ravenclaw is the best house, the cat will be 9 galleons, do you want a pet?” Lillian said
“Have you decided what you want yet Silas?” The children’s mother asked
“Erm...can I please have the white rat?” Silas replied
“Yeah, not a problem” Lillian replied
“Now if you want to come with me, if you want we can add a cat carrier and one for the rat to, for an extra 10 galleons” Lillian said
“Are you sure?” The children’s father asked
“It is not a problem” Lillian replied
“We’ll take them” The children’s mother said
“Ok, so that comes to 24 Galleons” Lillian smiled
“Take the 30 the rest is a tip for yourself” The children’s mother smiled
“Why thank you Ma’am” Lillian smiled.
The two children left the shop happy.
“Lillian, you've done so well today, you've already made 150Galleons in tips today alone” Ophelia smiled
“You really do like it here don’t you?” Ezekiel asked
Lillian nodded “oh yes, I love the animals and my favourite subject is Care of Magical Creatures”
“Well we have been talking, and we have both decided that once you've left Hogwarts you can take over the shop” Ophelia said
“Really?, are you both sure?” Lillian asked
“Yes, we are, we are both in our 90s now and we want to travel” Ophelia said
Lillian was overwhelmed, she was so happy, now all she had to do was spend two more years at Hogwarts and her dreams will come true.
