A Birthday Surprise
Prompt - Emerald
At her ninth birthday party, Lily Potter is opening all of her presents in front of her guests.
When she finally opens an envelope to find something unexpected inside. It was a voucher for Magical Menagerie which is located in Diagon Alley.
Lily looks at her parents to asks with a confuse look on her face "What is this?" knowing that it does not look like any present that she ever gotten before.
"Your mom and i are allowing you to get pet as your birthday present from us" states Harry knowing that she has been asking for a pet since James got his owl Joker when he turned eleven.
"Any pet" asks Lily with a big smile on her face knowing that she wants a kitten of her own since visiting Magical Menagerie with James.
Ginny jokingly says "Yes any pet of your choosing" but she then adds "You are responsible for your own pet"
Lily nods her head yes but then suddenly asks "Mom, Dad when can I get my kitten?"
"Later today" replies Harry knowing that Lily was in a rush to get her new kitten.

After her friends left the party leaving behind her relatives, Lily hopes that it's time to go and pick her own kitten. By using floo powder, Harry and Ginny along with Lily arrives at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley. They walk the path to Magical Menagerie and immediately walk into the store to be greeted by a sales assistant.
"Welcome to Magical Menagerie, my name is Marigold how can I help you?" asks a teenage girl who was working at the shop during her summer break from Hogwarts.
Ginny politely says "My daughter Lily is getting a kitten for her birthday today" as she pushes Lily in front of her.
"Happy birthday Lily" says Marigold as she directs the young girl to where the kittens are being housed.
Once Lily went into the cat area of the shop, Harry asks Marigold "Can you get everything that I cat will need?"
"Of course" says Marigold as she goes around the shop selecting cat food, toys, treats, bed, carrier and litter box. She puts the objects on the counter before adding to her customers "Lily has to select her own collar since that can't be changed but everything else can be simply changed by a spell" knowing that they would know the colour changing spell.
Within a couple of minutes, Lily returns to where her parents are standing with a black and white kitten in her arms.
Marigold explains to them "This cute kitten is ten week old female kitten who happens to be part Kneazle"

Lily is crowded by her cousins to have a look at the kitten in her arms. When James asks "What is the kitten's name?" wanting to know.
Lily looks down at the green eyes her kitten has to simply say "Emerald"
