harry100's prompt #467: "Eeylops Owl Emporium".
Harry Potter entered Eeylops Owl Emporium late one afternoon, after most of the foot traffic had died down.
He thought he was ready. He told himself it was time. He entered the shop and for the merest moment he was eleven again on his first trip to Diagon alleys. Round bright eyes looked at through cages in all directions. Native birds like Barn owls, Little owls and long eared owls and foreign ones: like a black speckled white owl - a female Snowy owl.
Harry took a couple of steps inside the shop before turning and fleeing. He wasn't ready.
-
"Dad!" came the call, years later. "Look what we found!"
Harry Potter rolled out of bed and pulled on a dressing gown.
He'd just opened his bedroom door when six-year-old James Sirius, with his four-year-old partner-in-crime Albus Severus, marched in, holding a big fluffy lump over his head.
"What's that James?"
"It's an owl!" James hooted. "I rescued him from Mr Next Door's cat."
Harry was mentally preparing himself to bury the obviously deceased tawny owl when it hooted dolefully at him.
"We'll heal him," Harry said. "But we can't keep him."
Inevitably though the Potter family acquired it's owl.
