Mrs. Malfoy smiled down at Alexandra and held out her hand," Dear you'll apparte with me and Draco will follow us with his father". Alexandra felt that horrible pulling in the pit of her stomach and looked around in wonder as she saw the hustle and bustle of all the people in Diagion Alley! She turned at the sound of and Draco landing behind her and , she gave the both of them a soft smile! Mr. Malfoy smiled down at her," since it's your birthday we wanted to let you pick out your pet for your time at Hogwarts!" Alexandra's whole face lit up! She looked at and grinned while nodding!

Alexandra ran to the pet shop smiling at her luck, she was so happy because her father had said no pets unless he to lose his mind. She went to were father down there the kinds of pets people were always afraid which she found amusing. As she turned to look at the cats she ran into what she thought was a wall but after looking up from her new spot on the ground saw it was indeed a boy."Lass maybe you should look where your going, he said well holding out his hand to help her up!" Alexandra frowned at him and ignoring his outstretched hand and got herself up," its not my fault that you just happened to be there when I turned around maybe you shouldn't walk so closely to someone!" Oliver grinned at her," my name is Oliver and you would be?" Alexandra looked at his still outstretched hand,"Alexandra nice to meet you". "So Alexandra are you going to Hogwarts?" She smiled,"yes I'll be a first year this year".All of her excitement and happiness radiated in her voice causing Oliver's smile to brighten, " that would explain why your here getting a pet." Alexandra grinned,"oh no I already have an owl I'm trying to find a cat!" Oliver watched as a pure snow white newborn trotted over to her and meowed, as Alexandra picked the kitten up they all knew this would be her cat."Now something as bright and sunny as you can help me brighten up the dark and dreary Snape mannor", she thought as she held the cat.

"Alexandra where in the world are you", Oliver and Alexandra heard before both spotting . Alexandra looked up at ,"I found my new kitty isn't she beautiful?" gave Oliver a frown then smiled down at Alexandra and the kitten," of course she's beautiful dear but we must get going we have to finish shopping and then we have to get you back to your father he has your birthday dinner all planned!" "Oliver it was nice to meet you I hope you have a nice day maybe I'll see you at school, and with that she walked out after paying for the kitten. looked down at Alexandra,"you really shouldn't have run like that it took us a bit longer to get to you and there are people around here that could and would want to hurt you!" Alexandra looked down trying not to cry,"I'm sorry I really am". watched her quickly wipe a stray tear away,"dear we don't want to be sounding so harsh but we love you and it's our job to help keep you safe!" Draco sensing how bad Alexandra felt stated," Mother weren't you just saying that we needed to go get to our fitted for our school robes before it got too busy!" looked down at Draco,"well yes I did thank you for reminding me!"

After Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy had started walking ahead of her and Draco she sent him a shy smile and mouthed Thank you"! "You picked a tame cat, and here I thought you were gonna give uncle Sev a heart attack"; he shook his head in wonder! Alexandra giggled," don't you remember when I brought home that baby bear, I think I gave him enough of a heart attack for life by doing that!" overheard them," When your father owled me to tell me about that incident I really thought I was even going to have a heart attack", it still amazed him how wonderful with animals she was! Alexandra shrugged," what did you all expect me to do leave the poor cub to fend for its self I mean come on it was the dead of winter and it had no mum and was so lost it didn't even know to hibernate!" smiled,"don't worry once your father got over the shock he as quite proud of you!" Alexandra gave a hug, she knew her father loved her but to have other people know it and see it did wonders for her!
