Kesan and Char dig their way through the busy shops of Diagon Alley. It's especially busy right now, seeing as school's beginning in a mere week, and apparently there are a lot of stragglers. The sisters, piled with robes, books, and their brand new wands. (Mr. Olivander was kind enough to give them to them at a lower price, though Kesan had her suspicions as to why he did such a thing.) Their nearly final stop is the pet shop.
"Kes... Maybe we shouldn't buy a new owl." Char whispers, while staring gawk eyed at the prices of some of the owls.
"Aah, a bit of money trouble, eh?" a soft male voice whispers from behind the girls. They turn to see a young boy, of about Charmaine's age. His black eyes and hair contrast greatly against his ghostly white skin, when Kesan realizes, he probably IS a ghost. "Here, take this..." he whispers, giving a small pouch to Kesan, and then vanishes from sight.
Kesan stares at the pouch, along with her little sister, "Uhm..."
"Open it!" Char squeals, with excitement that only a child like her could possibly have.
Kesan laughs and tugs open the strings of the pouch, expecting to see some coins... but instead is met by a key. A key for Gringott's... "Char... do you think we should go see what's in the vault for this key?"
The look Char gives to Kesan makes her crack up, with her nose wrinkled, and her tounge halfway sticking out of her mouth. Without another word, they make their way to the bizarre bank with the even more bizarre bankers.
After some battling with the head banker troll to get in to see the vault, the sisters finally make their way inside... The railcar they take stops at vault number 1117. It has a very intracately designed door, with wildcats and unicorns and dragons all twined together in an endless dizzying mess, which is still beautiful in it's own way. When the troll takes their key and opens the door, the girls patiently watch from just behind it, not sure what to expect to see on the other side.
The door painfully slowly opens, and reveals two cages which are both covered with blue sheets. Along with several piles of coins, and an envelope tied to one of the cages.
"Hurry up, please." the troll mumbles in it's whiny voice.
Kesan grabs up both the cages, while Char scoops up a huge pile of coins, and stuffs them into her pockets, and cauldron, and anywhere else she can find to cram more coins. They quickly jump back into the railcar, with Char shoving a couple big handfuls of coins at her sister, while the bank troll shuts the door with a loud bang, but the girls are too surprised by their find to even be a little startled. "Kes... do you think the Ministry sent that boy to us to give us more gifts?"
Kesan shrugs, and looks at the covered cages, deciding to wait to read the note and see what's inside once they're more alone. Who knows what she would find? Her magic was well developed enough to handle whatever they were, especially since the cages seemed to be about the size of an average owl cage. "Let's wait until we get home, kay girly? Kind of like an extra surprise. Sound good?"
Char closes one eye, like she tends to when she's thinking about something, then nods. "Alright, but can we skip getting candy then? I wanna see what else we got!"
Kesan looks at her sister, sort of surprised that she's willing to pass up getting some more sugar to give her more cavities. She just shrugs and they start on making their way back home...
~~~~~
Patience meanwhile, is pacing her living room, growling and glaring at the fireplace. Her father's late once again, as if that's anything new. When a sound comes from the fireplace, she simply glances over, expecting to see her father there... but instead nearly gets slammed in the head by an owl. She screams and ducks in time, with the owl slamming into a wall instead. "Stupid birds." she grumbles, while prying the owl from the wall. Somehow it hit so hard, that it actually made an indent. Not even caring much about it's wellbeing, Patience just rips off the package that the owl had tied to it's leg, and rips it open. Inside is a pouch with floo powder, and a note tied to it... along with a pouch of coins, apparently from her father. The owl hoots, and takes off out an open window, one of it's wings not moving properly...
Not bothering to really think about how lazy her father seems to have become that much, Patience follows the instructions on the backside of the Floo Powder tag, and makes her way to Diagon Alley, leaving behind Orion for now... She doesn't want to have to explain why her owl decided to go on a killing spree, just because she's in a bad mood.
Her first stop... is the book shop. Since it's beginning to get late, the crowds are more thinned, and a little more mature. Patience feels right at home, preferring to not associate with children anyway. Even her muggle friends were a good two or three years older than her.
Reaching to grab a book from a higher shelf, Patience's tail shows from under her long skirt, which she had put on so no one could see her secret...
"Nice tail..." a male voice mutters from behind Patience. She turns and glares at the person there. It's no other than Draco Malfoy.
"Isn't it though?" Patience growls, fixing her skirt to conceal herself again. "What do you want?"
"Ooooh, a feisty one!" Draco laughs, stepping into the shop moreso. He's all alone, without his lackies or father. "Poor little tailed girl."
"POOR!? Do you know who I am!?"
"Do you know who I AM!?"
Patience blinks... thinking about it, then realizes who he could be and laughs, "A Malfoy?"
Draco snorts and crosses his arms, "Draco Malfoy, to be exact. Just who do you think you are?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Should I bow or something? The GREAT Draco Malfoy! Look here everyone!" Patience squeals to an audience that isn't really there, "We all must hail to his royal highness, DRACO MALFOY!"
Blushing, Draco backs away from the crazy girl, who has pulled one of the books down from the shelf next to her, and is looking like she's preparing to smack him with it. "Patience Absurdi, of the Seraph clan. Don't you forget it. Draco..."
Draco just stares at the girl, as she gathers her books in peace, then checks out, not saying another word to him. He gives a slight whine, wishing she had said something else to him. There was yet to be a boy who would talk to him in such a way, now a GIRL was doing it. So what if she looked to only be a first year, and he was going to be entering his fifth year. He had to ask his father for more information about this... Seraph clan.

Back at the Bilet home....
"1... 2... 3!" Kesan and Char squeal together, while ripping the sheets from the cages. They just stare in disbelief at what they uncover...
There, in the cages, sit two sleeping cat-like creatures. The one inside of Kesan's cage is a bright white colour, with black wings... wings that look like they belong on a dragon. The one in Char's cage is smokey gray, and has matching feathery wings. The sisters continue to stare at the creatures, who are sleeping comfortably on a perch, sitting on their hindlegs, and with their forepaws curled up to their chests. "Kes... what are they?"
"I have no idea..." Kes whispers, then looks at the note in her hand. She peels it open, but is disappointed to see that all that is written there is 'Enjoy your gifts...' "Well, that's no help... Char, do you want to keep these? We could maybe take them to the pet..."
"NO NO NO! Keep them!" Char screams, awakening both of the winged creatures. "Uh oh..."
The one with the dragon wings yawns and stretches out, dropping from it's perch, and sits at the cage door, looking like it wants out, while the feathery winged one just stares at Char with huge green eyes.
"Should we..." Kesan starts, but doesn't finish saying, as Char swings open both of the cages. The winged cat creatures both step out of the cages, the feathery winged one falling off of it's perch first to do so... then fly up and sit on the girl's shoulders. Char stares at the feathery winged one, the one which she pulled the sheet off of, and squeals.
Kesan looks at her creature, who just purrs quietly, looking back at her, with strange purple eyes. "I guess... we can keep them. We should name them..."
"PERIGUINE!" Char screams, sending her creature flying into the air. She giggles, and grabs it's odd tail, which looks like a cat's for the most part, except for the fact that it splits in two about halfway down. She gently pulls it back down to her shoulder, where it curls up. They're very small animals, apparently.
"Uh... Right. And you..." Kesan thinks for a moment, "You will be Zagzagel."
Char giggles at the name, but Kesan ignores her sister.
"With that done, can we all go to sleep, please!? We have to get used to proper sleeping hours, they won't be impressed if we're late for everything because we're up all night, and sleep all day at Hogwart's, kiddo."
Char sticks out her tongue at her older sister, then just marches off to her room, taking Periguine with her.
"Zagzagel... welcome to the family, little guy. Hope we don't drive you too crazy." Kesan whispers to her creature, which is already falling back to sleep on her shoulder. "And I hope you and your partner there don't wind up being sent from our parents..." she shudders with that thought, but knows deep in her heart her parents didn't mean them any harm. If they did, they would have dragged them along to wherever it was they went to...

Bazoom!... _ So it sucks. Hush. It'll get better, when I don't have to switch from place to place. I suck at it... very badly. LOL... Sigh. Anyway... so... yea. Here you go. ^_^ I'll probably write up the next one a lot faster than I did this one... and considering I deleted half of it, cuz it annoyed me... I'd say I did pretty good!
