Just a brief note:
Okay, this story is going to be based off bits and pieces of the books as well as the movies, so some scenes will be movie wise, some book wise =D
Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 2
Kagome gave a low whine of discomfort as she tried to get comfortable in her cage, she shuffled around quietly, so as to not alert the store owner.
She turned her sad blue orbs to the window of the shop and watched the hustle and bustle of the street, especially the shop across the road that was full of young children surrounding the front of the store, they were all eagerly chatting away in excitement.
Their eyes lit up at the prospect of owning the Firebolt the latest broomstick, it was the latest thing from what she could gather from the squeaks of delight and the fact it was displayed in the window. Her ears tweaked listening to the chatter across the street.
"Merlin, I wish I could get this broom!" a boy said dreamily as he stared at the broom in awe, his face nearly plastered to the window of the shop.
"The Firebolt is a world class broomstick, you'll never have enough Galleons to pay for it" a snobby voice chided to the excited boy.
He scoffed "Who cares, I was just saying!" his voice raised in indignation.
Kagome snorted slightly, 'Children'.
Another voice chimed in, interrupting the two "I heard it is capable of going from nought to one hundred and fifty miles per hour in ten seconds!" a murmur of amazement broke out amongst them.
She felt like smiling, listening to them, they reminded her so much of her kit, always excited with everything they spoke of, Shippo ...she gave a sad sigh, but continued watching, not having anything better to do.
Another excited voice piped in, having just walked out of the store, the door giving an audible ring as he stepped out "The Irish just put an order for seven of these!" the young boy shouted.
Some cheers, went through the slowly expanding crowd, along with some jeers, Kagome tilted her head in confusion, the Irish?
She wracked her brain thinking back to her geographic lessons back in high school, before she dropped out and spent nearly all her time in the Feudal Era.
Kagome then saw an older boy, walk in on the scene, he had dark skin, he had black hair that was in dreadlocks and a big grin on his face from what she could from his side on profile.
"Ah, the Firebolt, ash wood and birch twigs, superb balance and precision, said to be the fastest broomstick in the world" the older boy said as he languidly perused the broom through the window.
All the children gaped at him, amazed at how he knew so much about the broom, when from what they knew it had so little information on it.
"How did...?"
"I've seen it in action many times, so of course I would know" the older boy explained with a grin on his face, more murmurs of excitement coursed through the small crowd.
One of the young girls gave him a sceptical look "How have you seen it so many times? The Firebolt is expensive, not many people can just buy it, you know" the girl said in a snobby sort of voice. Some of the people in the crowd gave nods of agreement and crossed their arms.
The boy gave a laugh and held him finger to his chin as if in thought "Well...I commentate the Quidditch matches and the practise matches that go on in Hogwarts and Harry Potter isn't too shabby with the Firebolt, if I do say so myself" .
Said snobby girl, now matched the others of the crowd, gaping in shock and amazement, then everything happened at once.
Kagome laid her ears back against her head, trying to block out some of the noise, they were practically screaming at the older boy now.
"You know Harry Potter?!"
"Harry Potter has a Firebolt?"
"How much money does he have?"
"How are you the commentator?"
"Are you Lee Jordan?"
"If Harry Potter has one, I need to get one!"
The boy backed up, holding his hands up in defence "Now now, I was just saying and of course I'm the commentator, how do you think I know these things?" he ended haughtily with an indignant sniff.
His tone changed as he continue talking to them "But, I'll tell you someone else worth talking about? Well...her name in Angelina Johnson, now...she is an amazing chaser and she's quite attractive t-"
Kagome tuned him out, not wanting to bother listening any longer, getting all the information that she deemed necessary.
She unconsciously shuffled once again in her cage, to get comfortable, she heard something snap and didn't need to attempt to peer behind her to know the store owner had heard her and was evidently not amused.
"Would you shut up you pest, blimey I can't wait to get rid of you!" the man grumbled, removing his hand from the book he had slammed on the counter. She flicked her ear in his direction and ignored him, by shuffling around some more.
The screech of a chair being violently pushed back was heard as he stomped his way over to her, and quickly jabbed his hand through the cage and grabbed onto her right ear and twisted it violently. She gave a startled yelp followed by a pain filled whine.
"That'll teach ya to listen to me!" he replied savagely to her whine of pan, he let go, quick to take his fingers out, fortunately for him, because not seconds later, her jaws snapped at that exact spot.
Kagome gave a low guttural growl 'How dare he!' she thought ready to bite him if he made any sudden movements, her lips raised in a snarl, her blue, green specked eyes narrowed at him fiercely. From this guy, she now knew and understood Inuyasha's fear of having his ears touched, especially with the way he had grown up, it really freaking hurt!
She felt like smirking when she felt his slight anxiousness, she barked at him for good measure making him jump slightly. He sneered at her, the wrinkles on his face becoming more defined and more noticeable.
"Little bitch, I'll teach you, you pest!" with that he went for her other ear, she growled at him dangerously focusing her eyes on him, seeing her distracted with that hand, with his other he went to her already abused appendage, but she was too fast and bit him.
He gave a yelp of his own and withdrew his hand, and brought it up to his face for inspection, seeing a couple of his finger bleeding quite profusely, he snapped his head back to her "I'll make you pay for that..." he spat in her face. Her hackles raised with a snarl.
"Ahem" a voice came from the front of the store.
Both Kagome and the man gave startled jumps, the owner quickly recovered "Now be good, that wasn't very nice" he said in a much softer tone, patting her cage, seemingly in an affectionate way and then straightening up.
The store owner gave a nervous smile and turned to the newcomers in his shop, his hands gesturing to the shop "Welcome to The Eeylops Animal Emporium, how may I help you?" he said in a flourish. Kagome mentally snorted 'He's as slimy as Naraku's tentacles' she thought with a shudder.
The two newcomers gave a look to each other, before walking in further into the shop and perused its wares.
The shop housed many animals, owls, cats and toads were the main variety, but there were a few others, that were less popular, such as some snakes and various lizards, rats, mice, dogs, a ferret and a fox.
One of the boys walked to the area that had owls, the other, looked at the items that would be needed when owning a pet, such as food, cages, bedding and brushes to groom animals.
Kagome examined the two customers, shifting painfully to try and see them, her ear throbbing in pain, she looked at the one that was perusing the pet supplies section. All she could tell from her angle was that he had bright orange hair.
Kagome then attempted to lean back in her cage to glimpse at the other person that now occupied the shop, and did a double take and looked back and forth a couple of times at the first boy to the second.
'They're identical! Twins...' Kagome thought in amazement, it wasn't very often that you saw twins, let alone identical twins.
Hope you all enjoyed it!
In Harry Potter the Shop is originally called Eeylops Owl Emporium but yeah, I decided to change it to Eeylops Animal Emporium for obvious reason.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter and please review! The reviews really keep me going xD
