The best part, of course, where all the creatures they had, especially the magical ones. He had always gone to these events hopeful to see a dragon, but that was never the case, and he was always disappointed.

He made his way through the crowd, following the signs to the wizard petting zoo, as quickly as he could. As always, he was expecting to encounter a fire-breathing creature for the first time in his life, but little did he know he was going to be disappointed again. When he finally spotted the tent he ran inside. The smell wasn't very pleasant, but he continued, nonetheless. He saw all kinds of creatures but not one of them was large to even be mistaken by a dragon. He supposed the nifflers and puffskeins would do.
So there was a carnival in DA, and Marcelo wasn't even interested in it. Whether that was a sad thing or not, but after several weeks of wandering around is the normal Alley or Muggle London; visiting museums and whatnot, he finally had to admit that he had nothing to do at home. And, instead of sitting there all alone amongst the servants' gossips, he was finally here. In the zoo.

The first thing he felt was the noise, and the next second the smell hit him. He halted at a few metres away, where there was still a hint of the smell, wrinkling his nose. He couldn't believe that he was that desperate to be visiting a zoo, and a magical one, at that. Still, looking around, he might actually spend some time here... yeah, if not, he could just walk away. It wasn't like the smell would stick, right?!

Walking slowly, eyes narrowed, he looked from one thing to another, wondering how people in here could stand the smell. He knew all from his lessons. Then, in front of something he halted and watched with interest. He didn't recognise that.

"What is it?" he asked to the nearest boy with a slight disgust mixed with interest in his voice.

He was not interested in any of them... he just wanted to know.
