Her eyes swung up to look at the boy who had nearly run her over. She was used to it after all being so small and short. "He's MoMo." she said pushing herself up all the ground and frowning because she felt dirt on her butt. "And who might you be?" she asked. Since he had nearly ran over her.
Harlow reached up and gently removed MoMo from his pot. "My uncle gave me this pumpkin for my birthday. He's charmed and his name is MoMo." she explained to the boy. She set him down in the ground and began to cover up his roots. "He sings too." she added just as MoMo started to hum the Spongebob Squarepants theme song. Harlow giggled, "Sorry its my sister favorite cartoon and I guess MoMo picked up the song." she explained. She wasn't sure how the charm worked. Her uncle just told her the pumpkin was special and that she should take care of him like a pet.
"I'm Byron," he was staring straight at the potted plant as he said so, completely engrossed, "Byron Leblaireau." He poked the singing pumpkin gently with the tip of his wand, unfamiliar with the song it was humming, or the concept of a cartoon that made music.
"Anyway," he pocketed his wand and smiled at the little firstie, "what's your name?"
It was only polite to learn a person's name before one interrogated another regarding their pet/plants.
