Me: "Really?"

Announcer: "No not really wake up Papi stop dreaming."

Just before they entered the bookstore they passed earlier Flourish & Blott's Professor McGonagall held out her hand. "Give me the bag Harry I will shrink it for you, the spell will wear off in an hour or two so they will be full sized when you get home." Thanking the Professor they walked inside.

"We will split up for right now I will get the course books and you may pick up three books for extra reading okay? See you in five." After that the Professor headed of into the many stacks of books. Stunned for a moment Harry shook his head then headed off into the stacks on the other side to see if anything caught his fancy.

Searching through a stack he found a leather bound book with silver writing A Potions guide: the How's and Why's of potion making by Bea Z. Oar. Looks like this would be helpful he thought. Searching through another stack he found two more books one a fluorescent pink that said Beauty tips for the young witch in you and a dark green book simply titled Magic. He figured that the pink book would be able to help him find something to cover the scar on his forehead, those books he saw that were apparently all about his life gave him the creeps.

Meeting up with McGonagall again he saw that she had already paid for the course books and handed him the shrunken bag. "Thank you Professor" he said setting his choices on the counter. The clerk barely looked at them before he rung them up "2 galleons 13 sickles and 1 knut please." he said. Harry took the money out of the pouch Griphook had given him and then put all his purchases in his satchel.

"What is left Professor?" he asked skipping lightly next to her. Minerva pulled the list from where she had stashed it while waiting for Harry. "Well, you've gotten you robes. I told Madam Makin to make you the winter cloak and to pack a pointed hat as well. The telescope can be gotten in this shop here so you can go to Eyelops Owl Emporium for an owl or you can wait until I can go with you to the Magical Menagerie for a cat. We can get the dragon hide gloves at the Apothecary along with your potions supplies, and the cauldron shop is right across from it so after that all we need is your wand."

Finished with her explanation she looked to her side for her charge. Who was once again not where he should be. Minerva sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose and looked skyward. Merlin grant me patience she thought. Turning around she entered the shop, might as well get the telescope before I have to go hunting again.

Harry meanwhile was busy cooing over the most gorgeous owl he had ever seen. When he had spotted her in the window as they were walking he knew she just had to be his. The owl in question had pure with feathers all around though her wings were speckled with brown. A solid brown beak and large amber eyes completed the look.

To Harry she was perfection and as she nuzzled his hand he though she liked him too. Turning to the shopkeeper he asked "How much is she? Do I really need a cage? What about a stand? How much for the owl treats? Are they healthy to eat?" Harry spat out question after question so excited about being a companion to the beautiful creature.

He was interrupted by the warm chuckles of the shopkeeper. "Whoa slow down there lass, now then the owl herself is 5 galleons, a large cage is 14 sickles, a stand is 10 sickles and 3 knuts, owl treats are 2 sickles a bag. They are perfectly healthy for the owl but remember they are treats so she shouldn't eat too many a day."

Relieved Harry mentally tallied up how much it would cost him in all. 5 galleons, 24 sickles, 3 knuts and then if I buy five bags of treats, 7 galleons and 3 knuts.

Pulling the money bag out of his satchel he paid the man, who helped him put the owl in a large cage. "The cage is collapsible when you tap it with your wand and say /conplico/ to unfold say /replico/. The stand does the same to shrink it say /resilio/ to un-shrink or grow say /cresco/."

Thanking the shopkeeper he left the shop with the shrunken down stand and the owl treats in his satchel. It was then he realized that he had left without telling Professor McGonagall again. Face palming all he could think was I'm in so much trouble.

Minerva left the store at that point and saw her charge standing in the street hand on his face in his other hand he was holding a cage with a brilliant snowy owl. Tired of losing him she walked over; tapping him on his shoulder she cleared her throat.

"Well, Miss Evans seeing as you continually misplace yourself I have decided that you can wait for me at Fortescue's then together we will get your wand, have lunch in London then I will drop you back at your aunt's. No more of this disappearing stuff." He looked up at her face contrite and said "Yes Professor."

So while McGonagall picked up the rest of his things he sat down at Fortescue's and ordered a cone (chocolate and raspberry with chopped nuts). He fed some of the nuts to his owl; he would have to give her a name soon. After he explained to his aunt how he managed to acquire said owl, whoops. The Professor reappeared after he thew his cone away and wiped his hands; picking up the cage he followed her down the street. He placed the shrunken bags she gave him in his satchel with the others.
