Hannah was still escaping her parent's clutches and was heading for the pet store Hannah had heard some older kids talk about, intent on buying her Owl and maybe a puffskein as well. Hannah's parent's probably wouldn't like it if she brought back a puffskein, but Hannah didn't seem no harm in buying a puffskien, she was taking the puffskien to Hogwarts with her, not back home to London.
Hannah entered the shop that was called 'Magical Menagerie' and immediately went over to where the Owl's were situated in their cages. Hannah hadn't decided what kind of Owl she wanted, but Hannah knew she wanted one that was black and Hannah was gazing at one particular black Owl, "Ohhh, your such a pretty Owl" Hannah cooed, putting her finger in the cage, stroking the Owl.

Ryan had decided that he needed more owl treats before he headed out of Diagon Alley. His dad had boughten him some with his owl, but he doubted that his mom would be willing to come and get more very soon so he just thought he would buy extra in case. Walking into the pet store he looked around trying to locate the aisle that held the owl treats.
As he looked around he noticed a girl about his age looking at a particular owl and talking to it. Walking by on his way to the aisle located a couple of aisles down he gave her a small smile.

Hannah was still petting the owl when she saw a boy about her age walk by her and just glimpsed the smile the boy gave her. Hannah smiled back at the boy, "Hi, I'm Hannah" The young girl quickly said to the boy walking past her and Hannah had forgotten that she still had her hand in the Owl cage and she suddenly felt the Owl peck at her. "Ohh, you want me to pat you still?" Hannah asked the Owl, thinking this Owl might be the one that she'll buy.

Ryan stopped walking as the girl said hi to him. He had always been taught that it was polite to introduce yourself if someone introduced themselves to you first. "Hey," he said with a smile extending his hand to her, "I'm Ryan. I was just looking for owl treats." He hadn't been with his dad when his dad had boughten the owl so he really wasn't sure which aisle they were in, but he would just have to look for them later on.
"So are you here buying an owl or something?" he asked Hannah wondering if she was just looking or if she was here to pick out an owl or some other kind of animal.

Hannah took Ryan's hand in the hand that hadn't being pecked on and shook it. "Nice to meet you Ryan, yes, I am buying an Owl, I'm actually thinking of that black one right there" Hannah pointed the black owl out to Ryan and Hannah started cooing over it again, "Isn't it cute?" Hannah asked Ryan, giving him another smile.

"Nice to meet you too" Ryan said smiling and looking up to the palce where Hanah was pointing. It was a cute owl. Personally he was more attached to the one that he had gotten, but that was to be expected. He still thought that the black owl was really cool looking and that it would be a good one to get, but was fonder of the brown owls with light or dark highlights and eye brows. "Ya it is cute." he said looking up at the owl still, "Have you ever had an owl before?" he questioned wondering if she had had on or if this one would be her first.

"Yes and no, I mean my family has two Owl's they use between each other, but I've never had an Owl just by myself" Hannah said to Ryan. Hannah's family had a old brown one that they only used for short flights and a white-grey one that was more used for longer flights between the two families. "Have you got your own Owl?

"I just got one earlier today." Ryan said with a smile. He had never ever thought that owls were considered pets to people until he came to this shop with Braxton earlier that day and got a lesson on how the wizarding world used owls as a form of a postal system. "In all honesty I didn't even know about owls and their uses until earlier today. Where I'm from they aren't kept as pets and they are really rare to see." he continued.

Hannah kept forgetting that there were people out there who didn't know about magic or Owl's, considering she had been bought up more or less in a all magical family. "Wow, my family really depends on our Owl's, that way we can send letter's back and fourth to each other" Hannah explained to Ryan, thinking that her family would be lost without their two Owl's.
"So, where do you come from, Ryan?" Hannah asked Ryan, forgetting about her black Owl for a moment. "I come from London originally and am living in London now, but before I moved back to London, I lived in Australia with my Dad" Hannah told Ryan.

"Really. I was born in Australia." Ryan said with a smile and truely he still lived there part of the time with his dad but he spent the majority of the year in England with his mom. "I have duel citizenship, but now I live here most of the time. I only go over to Australia three or four times a year when I go and visit my dad. He moved their after he divorced my mom and got a job opportunity there."

"Your parents are divorced too?' Hannah asked, amazed that she meant another person whose parents were divorced, "Mine are too! and yeah, I only go back to Australia to visit my Dad there, but only on school holidays. Though, my Dad's here in London at the moment to see me off to Hogwarts, but after that he'll be going back to Australia" Hannah said to Ryan, a note of sadness in her voice when she thought of her Dad going back to Australia and not staying here with her.

"Cool." Ryan said with a smile. It seemed that they had more in common then even he could have thought was possible. He had too been with his dad at the alley and was just about to go with him over to Brax's house. "Ya they got a divorce when I was little." he responded to her question, "And I'm also here with my dad. He flew in just so that he could bring me here, well I kind of begged him to. But at least he did."

"Same!, my parent's divorced when I was younger too" Hannah told Ryan, "Yeah, my Dad's here with the rest of my family and well, the whole of the Astley family is here to see me off" Hannah cringed, she could just imagine the scene on the day when she had to catch the train to Hogwarts. "Hey!, what part of Australia are you from?" Hannah asked, now curious to see if Ryan was from the same place that she was.

What part of Australia was he from? Hmm... that was a bit tricky to answer. He had been born in Sydney but his dad live outside of it in another town, but in all honesty he really didn't know his way around there having lived in England most of his life. The only time he went to and goes to Australia is when he visits his dad and then his dad just makes sure he gets where he wants to go. "I was born in Sydney." Ryan said not sure if that was what she was asking so he added, "But my dad lives in a surrounding city, just outside of Sydney."

"Oh, I know where Sydney is, but I've never been there myself, I lived in Brisbane before coming to live with my Mum in London" Hannah said, turning back to the black owl, which was now peaking it's beak through the cage. "So, you are going to Hogwarts right?" Hannah now not sure if she had asked Ryan if he was going to Hogwarts.
