Chapter 12
The next weekend, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Elizabeth went to Hogsmade. A new shop with antique magical objects and books had just opened. Elizabeth had always been fascinated by antique objects and books, for some held great secrets. Harry had received a letter from Sirius. Sirius had asked them to meet him in Hogsmade and to bring him some food. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Elizabeth had been to the kitchens, to get some food for Sirius. They took some chicken wings; bread, sausages and Elizabeth cooked something for him as well. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Elizabeth went to Hogsmade. They bought a Dr-Coffee's-ever-filling-coffee-cup for Sirius. After that Harry and Ron went to the pet shop, because Ron's owl, Pig, was looking a bit dull. Hermione went to the bookshop and Elizabeth went to Simon's Antique shop. Elizabeth entered the antique shop. The shop was dark, and the curtains were closed. The only light came from candles. There were bookcases and shelves, full of antique objects. " Can I help you Miss?" a soft voice asked. Elizabeth turned around. The voice came from an old man with white hair and glasses. "Yes please" Elizabeth said, "I am looking for something with which you can find out who your family is". The old man nodded. "Hmmm.. I think I have got what you are looking for". He walked to one of the bookcases and began searching the bookshelves for something. "Ah, here it is" he said. He took a large, black book from one of the shelves. He handed the book to Elizabeth. On the cover of the book was a small golden box attached, that could be opened. The old man explained how it worked. " You have to open the box and put a lock of your own hair in it. Then you must wait a few seconds and then you can open the book to see who you family is. You can also see if they are alive." " This is what I need," Elizabeth said," I am also looking for an orb in which you can see where someone is". The old man walked to a table on which on orb was lying. He picked it up." Is this what you are looking for?" the old man asked. Elizabeth looked at the orb. It was black and there were red swirls in it. " Yes, this is what I was looking for" Elizabeth answered. She paid the orb and the book, and after that she left the shop.
Elizabeth entered the pet shop. Ron's owl was just being examined. Elizabeth felt that someone or something was starring at her. Elizabeth looked around to see who or what was starring at her. It was a pair of yellow eyes. The eyes belonged to a young, black cat. Elizabeth walked to the cat and petted it on its head. " A pity he has never found a home" a voice said. The voice come from one of the witches whom were running the shop. " Why has he never found a home?" Elizabeth asked. "Because he will always stay this young. People like a cat, but they don't want to be stuck with it forever. And he has got a mind of his own as well" the witch said. Elizabeth grinned. "Sounds like he is a perfect cat" Elizabeth said. The cat gave a confirming mew. It jumped onto the counter and the jumped into Elizabeth's bag. "It seems like he likes you" the witch said. Suddenly, they heard screaming from outside.
