hello customers ^^ astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Zachaël had never particularly felt any sort of way about the summer holiday season. While he had still been working at the zoo it was a busy season and one where he found himself staying over and sleeping by or in the enclosures of the birds he was in charge of. Sometimes it was stressful for them having all those people watching and making noises at them, you see. At the Owl Post...it simply meant warmer weather and occasionally frozen mice for his owls as a treat. Squeaksicles, as he had affectionately dubbed them.
But this summer felt different. More special.
For one, he had another surprise vacation to take Dieter on. This time somewhere more tropical than his favorite stomping grounds in France.
And another, more surprising but equally as enjoyable a development, was his mate and former Hogwarts dormmate coming to the Alley as the new owner and wandmaker at Ollivanders. He would need to pop in one of these days and invite him to lunch again.
It was something for Zeke, actually, that Zachaël was working on when the two youngsters stepped into his shop. Pausing his whittling to toss his curly chocolate locks aside, the shopkeeper vanished some wood shavings away with a pass of his hand and observed the pair for a moment.
"If there is anything either of you are looking for in particular, please let me know."
Which then prompted a sharp SCREEEEEEEEEECH from a few of the owls on their perches behind him.
"I was not addressing either one of you," he chuckled, swinging his shoulders around to look back at them. "Especially you," he continued as he waved one of his weathered fingers towards a barn owl. "You have had plenty already and I've got a shipment for you later so rest up."
