Chapter Five: First Impressions Are Important!
"How are we supposed to get the keys to our room if he isn't even here?!" Kit sighed loudly, lifting her suitcase.
Harry shrugged at Kit, opening the door to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Dumbledore told me that Tom would be here!" Harry replied to her question.
Kit screamed as Tom burst from behind her, coming throught the door. He caught her as she fainted.
"Sorry! I had to run an errand..." He stated, setting her at a table. "This your cousin?"
Harry set down his suitcase, "Yeah...she's a bit jumpy..."
Harry opened Hedgwig's cage, letting the owl soar out, swooping to the bar. Harry sighed and lifted Kit up as she regained consciousness. She glared at Tom.
"I'm sorry Miss! I just came in and...there you were! Well, I guess I better get your keys then, eh?" Tom said hurriedly, rushing behind the counter and grabbing two sets of keys. "Now, Miss--"
"Kit! Call me Kit please!" Kit piped up, shaking her head to get the hair to lie down.
"Kit, right, you'll be in the room across from Harry." Tom led them both down a long hall, stopping at two rooms. "Harry, this is your room, Kit, this is your's."
Harry waved goodbye to him, lifting up both of their suitcases, and entering her room.

"So, you will come with me to get a pet!" Kit prodded, they were sitting in her room at the tavern.
"Fine...I guess if you want me too." Harry sighed, standing up.
"We can teleport if you----"
"I'd rather walk, thank you!" Harry said quickly, remembering his past teleportation experience.
"Be that way then..." Kit huffed, following him out the hall and through the empty tavern. They walked out the door, passing many shops until Harry motioned for her to go into one of the stores.
They walked into a dark shop called the Magical Menagerie, Kit looking around at all of the strange animals. She stopped at a cage full of multi-colored kittens.
"Aren't they adorable!" Kit asked Harry, who was looking at them curiously. "I think I'll get a lilac one...ooh!"
Kit opened the cage, withdrawing a bengal-striped, lilac, female kitten. She scratched it's ears, cooing to Harry at how cute it was. He took her up to the counter.
The teenage sales-witch looked up from her magazine, smacking gum loudly. She looked at the girl as if she had just stepped on her toe.
"Ya do know that those can speak, eh?" She asked, looking at her even more irritatedly. "They'll gain the ability around their ninth or tenth week..."
"Really?!" Kit stroked the kitten," How old are they?"
"That one right there is about seven weeks old, her name is Ikis...she's got a nickname around here though..."
"What?" Harry asked, looking at the strange kitten.
"Bad Kitty...she loves to sneak outta the pen and run rampant...I don't mind tellin' ya that she's my least favorite animal in here..."
"Well...I'll take her! How much?" Kit smirked.
"Five Sickles..." The witch chuckled, "That little cat ain't worth a Knut if ya were to ask me!"
"Here...consider this my present for you..." Harry withdrew the money, setting it on the counter.
"Bye..." The tiny kitten croaked in a very high-pitched voice. The sales-witch looked annoyed.
"Oooh! She can speak already, Harry!" Kit cooed, stratching it's ears as they left.
"Hawwy!" Ikis giggled, "HAWWY!"

A/N: I know that it's awfully short, but I'm saving the rest for the next chapter. *Kit jumps up and down, waving a pink teddy bear, tossing it to Harry* NO! Snuffles!
