Glen walked out of the pet shop holding a large cage. Inside was a beautiful pure white owl. She had vivid green eyes, and her beak and claws were the color of gold. In Glens other hand was a bag full of the owls necessities. Glen walked up to a small pub, and used the rest of her treat money to buy a butterbeer. She sat sipping it, while gazing at her beautiful owl who sat staring back. Glen heard Lily call her name. Sure enough, Lily ran up and took a seat. "oooooooooohhhhhhh," she sighed, "what a gorgeous owl, what's her name?" Glen thought for a moment,

" I don't know," she replied.

" How about Vinia" Lily offered, Glen just stared at her.

" Uh, no thanks," she mumbled, finishing her drink. They met up with Charlie and their mother, and stepped into the Leaky Cauldron. One by one, they threw floo powder into the fire place, said their address, and appeared at the other end.

" I've got it," Lily declared when she appeared. " Name her Hindig!"

"Noooo" Glen moaned.

" I have an idea," Charlie offered, climbing out of the fireplace, "name her nutcase!" Glen made a face at him. "Your right," he sighed, " that names way better for Lily. The second he said this Lily dove on him, and made a lame attempt to punch him.

" That's enough!" Their mother screeched, shoving some bags at Glen. At this, Lily and Glen took off upstairs. They pulled out a cauldron, some spell books, and some ink and quills until finally they found what they were looking for.

"My Wand!" Glen shreiked, pulling it out of the bag. Glen had bought her wand a few years ago because her mother had said wand prices were going up. Unfortunately, her mother had kept it hidden until now.

"Try it out!" Lily exclaimed, shoving a charm book at her. Glen opened it up, and found a simple looking spell.

"Lumos! she cried, waving her wand skillfully through the air, "Lumos!" suddenly, the tip of her wand lit up.

" SCORE!" Lily cried, pumping her fist in the air.

" Lumos," Glen said again, causing the light to go out The owl hooted dolefully from her perch.

" I know, name her excite!" Lily suggested, putting some books away. Glen just shook her head.

Later that night, the two excited girls were called down to dinner. They trudged downstairs, the owl fallowing. They busied themselfs, setting the table. " Hey you can call her Pooponia," lily suggested.

" Oh yeah," Charlie replied from the sink " And we can call her poop for short." lily glared at him, and Glen looked sick. " Come here Poop!" He called to the owl. " Come here my little poopy pants!" The owl stared at him reproachfully and flew over to the windowsill.

"Now you made her angry!" Glen cried, running over to the moody owl.

"Maybie Suzi Lou,' lily added quietly.

Finally they all sat down to dinner, which consisted of tomato salad, and bread. On top of the salad, was a pile of basil. When the owl turned her head and saw it, she immediately swooped over and devoured it. " Hey!" Charlie howled. " Your stupid bird ate all the basil!"

"Well she really liked it!" Glen lamely shot back.

" I've got it!" Lily suddenly cried "Basil!"

"Huh?" glen replied blankly.

"Basil," Lily repeated. " We can call her Basil." Glen smiled.

" Ok, we'll call her Basil.
