"Alright, alright. They aren't going anyplace, Lolly." Rusty played the anchor, keeping a good grip on his progeny's hand. Of course they'd come down here, given they lived right in the Leaky Cauldron and all. It was almost-free entertainment, so he couldn't complain. He could also spare a few knuts for Lola so really, with the day off and all, Rustin was looking forward to a relaxed day with his daughter.

She tugged him through the pastel gates.

"Is there one I can ride, dad? I want to ride something. Can I? Can I feed one? Can I feed them all?" Lola was pretty much beside herself with excitement. \


"Its a petting zoo not a riding zoo. We'll see. What do you want to look at first?" He let her steer them.

Oh which? Lola eyed the Porlocks with interest... they looked like bales of hay. Maybe. Soon. Oh! No, what about the nifflers? No! The flying horses! Or what about...

.... Lola stopped short.

"Dad how come there's llamas? Are they magic llamas?" She tugged him over so they could SEE. "Maybe its food for something bigger and cooler."


"Maybe it is." He agreed as they stopped, but Rusty wasn't looking at the llamas. That there was an Emily in front of one.

".... so, did the Llama break the law?" He said, addressing the Head Auror.


Call her crazy, but she didn't think a llama belonged in a magical petting zoo. Emily watched it watch her.... it had a shaggy face, and head, and back. It was all shag. It's long neck was, unsettling in an odd way. Or perhaps it was more just the general appearance of the beast. Something about the ears maybe? Or the way it showed its teeth from time to time.

Perhaps she'd save her knuts for the winged horses... the llama didn't seem deserving of her feed.

Hearing a familiar voice behind her, Emily couldn't help but smile. "Stranger things have happened," she mused, turning to face Rusty. Go figure a petting zoo wasn't exactly the place she wanted to see people from work. Emily had an image to uphold, petting fluffy stuff just didn't seem to fit in with that perception.

And oh! Lookit that! He had his little human with him. She was quite cute. "Hi," she said, to the pair of them, collectively.
