Hmmm "Yeah I just need an Owl that sort of speaks to me, you know? But they should be in my price range." He stuffed the money back into his pocket. "My parents have some more of the money. I think they're talking to the Shopkeeper about all that stuff." He turned his head around to look around the shop to see if he spotted them, which he didn't but he was positive they were in here doing what they do best as Muggle Parents trying to understand this whole thing still since he turned out to be a late magical kid or something like that, since last year.
He turned his attention back to the Barn Owl that had caught his eye. He tilted his head both ways while inspecting it and places his thumb and index finger to his chin. "Maybe this guy. He's got a really cool color to him, or uh...her?" How do they know what gender the owl was?
Lukas gave a quick but firm nod of his head in agreement. There was no denying it anyhow. He did have a rather large family. It was something he was used to though so for him, it was completely normal to always be surrounded by people.
"None? Don't you get lonely?" Not having any siblings or cousins wasn't anything he could imagine.
"Moose?" Lukas gave the slightly younger boy a curious look but he wouldn't ask.
"I'm Lukas. Yeah, I'm heading into my third year. Ravenclaw. What about you?" Had he seen him last term? Maybe. With how many students were at Hogwarts it was easy to forget.
"Having a good connection is always important. If the one you choose if the right one for you, you'll know it." That's how he had chosen his kitten last summer. He had went with the one that had came to him.
Turning his blue-gray eyes back to the barn owl that Moose was looking at, a light smile tugged at his lips.
"You can tell if it's a him or her by their feathers. The shopkeeper will tell you everything you need to know." Sure, he could tell the boy himself but he wasn't asked nor did he want to possibly get it wrong.
