Heather followed him looking down the entire time, almost like she was afraid she was going to trip over her feet. It was only when Jasper handed her an adoption application to fill out did she look up. "Thank you," she said softly.
She scratched out her answers to the best of her ability. She had her heart set on getting something small and fluffy. She chewed on her lip as she handed it back towards Jasper to let him hand them both in. "I really do hope you get the pet you want."
He was still mulling over question seven when Heather had finished her application. He held the quill to his face and accidentally tickled his own nose. "Aaah...AAACHOO!" He inhaled with an almost exasperated sigh. "Heather would you say I'm more curious or introverted?" Maybe he needed an outside opinion.
Raising his eyebrows, reaching that moment where his forehead wrinkles he smiled and felt a fluttery sensation in his stomach matching the beats of his heart.
"Well hello to you too, Kitten" Seth chuckled and signed in the lines Peyton told him to. He was still getting used to signing his maternal surname Dos Santos instead of Aguirre, though his preference was simply to go by the mononym: Seth.
His welcome was just as he pictured it would be. Peyton being her typical self, silly and down to earth. Which is what initially attracted him so much to the red head, among other things they've been through.
"All done, girlfriend." Seth smirked followed by his trademarked side smile. Seth hadn't had a pet in a very long time, years to be exact. It would always feel like replacing his deceased cat was way too soon, but the time finally feels right to start over as a pet owner.
Putting the idea that he was only going to be with his girlfriend for a short time, behind. He didn't want to think of it, all he wanted to think about it the amount of FUN he was going to have with Peyton.
Hearing instructions Seth looked up and saw a man waving his hands in the air, didn't take long to figure out where to take the finished application he just signed.
Walking up to the man he handed him the finished adoption application.
SPOILER!!: Archer

He took the parchment off the boy and only needed to read over this particular application once to know exactly what he.. or they, since it was a joint adoption, should have. "A Kneazle would be perfect, I think." Right? Right. He looked over at the boy, but not waiting to hear if he was correct or not, he disappeared into the Kneazle pens. And once in there, it took him longer to decide on which Kneazle to pick rather than which pet was best for them. Finally, though, he found her.
"Freya!" That was the Kneazle's name. "She loves attention. Which is great since this is a joint adoption. No need to worry about her liking someone more than the other." Archer gave the feline a quick scratch under the chin before handing the carrier over to the boy.
Kitten. GIGGLE.
"Meow." Happy boyfriend?
Peyton looked away, turning her attention toward the older man -- an almost visible blush on her cheeks. Damn you, Seth. She was supposed to be all business-like because adoption, yeeaaaah.
"A kneazle?" She repeated. That...would be perfect. Thor, her already spoiled kneazle would definitely LOVE company.
When the man left, Peyton tugged at Seth's arm. "Did you hear that? Thor is going to be happy, don't you think?"
OHHHH! There was the man again. Peyton's green eyes glazed over when they landed on Freya. "She is cuuuute!" And perfect. And adorable. AND...
Glancing up at Seth, she said, "She's perfect!" Even the name was perfect. Peyton suddenly grew serious, but a smile spread her lips. "Means Thor is going to need fixing." No kneazle kittens for them. Heeeeeeck no!

Seth chuckled and smirked.
Referring to Peyton as Kitten, had become a word of affection. He wasn't the mushy, clingy type of Guy. Heck it annoyed him when girls where like that, luckily Peyton wasn't like that. She was exactly what Seth was looking for.
Seth's attention was caught once Peyton tugged on his arm. "Hmm." Thor? He and that kneazle still needed to mend their relationship. "I really don't care about, Thor. I still don't like him." Seth shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, but it was true.
Seth smiled down at her.

A smile grew on Seth's face.
"She's beautiful." He felt this warm wave of emotion rush through him. He's never had a female pet before, so this was new to him.
Taking the carried he took some time to hold the kneazle in his arms. "Hey, Freya. I'm Seth and that's, Peyton." He stroked Freya's ears.
It was incredible how a simple creature could tap so much emotion, in such a serious guy.
"Thank you." Seth made sure he was polite and thanked Archer, for his assistance.
Bay wandered down the avenue and finally came upon the adoption table. Some kids had been running around the Leaky Cauldron with their newly adopted pets and the adoption event going on. At first she had rolled her eyes at the whole thing but seeing the happiness that they were experiencing gave the newly graduated third year a pang of jealousy. Having saved up for something important over the last two years perhaps this was what she would spend her money on.
Having decided it was safe to at least look into the whole affair she was a bit surprised to see the event sprawled out before her. After looking into the cages she made her way over to the main booth and filled out the application.
He was still mulling over question seven when Heather had finished her application. He held the quill to his face and accidentally tickled his own nose. "Aaah...AAACHOO!" He inhaled with an almost exasperated sigh. "Heather would you say I'm more curious or introverted?" Maybe he needed an outside opinion.
Heather shook her head and laugh, "Bless you." Jasper wanted her opinion to help answer a question . "Hmm?" Heather looked a him and cocked her head to the right then to the left. Curious or introverted? "I don't know. That's a tough one." She then gave him a wide smile, "Curious. You are definitely odd, funny, and eccentric." She said poking him with her finger as she said each word.
She laughed and bumped up against him. "You just don't come off as an introverted to me. Maybe I'm not the best person to let you know, but I would say curious."

You have bewitched me body and soul, And I love- I love- I love you
Patiently Mack waited her turn, she kept watching the pink Pygmy pug that so desperately wanted...
SO SLOWWW
Finally it was Mackenzie's turn at the table... She waited until the attendant looked up at her "I would love to have that beautiful pink Pygmy puff." the blonde beamed as she pointed to her soon to be new pet.
Kace was waiting for his new pet. He really wanted a pygmy puff. His mom finally said yes and now he was waiting anxiously. As he saw one of the staff members, he asked, "Umm excuse me can i see the blue pygmy puff over there?" he asked pointing to it.
Heather shook her head and laugh, "Bless you." Jasper wanted her opinion to help answer a question . "Hmm?" Heather looked a him and cocked her head to the right then to the left. Curious or introverted? "I don't know. That's a tough one." She then gave him a wide smile, "Curious. You are definitely odd, funny, and eccentric."

Jasper wasn't going to even ask Heather what sort of 'funny' she had meant just there. Instead he shot her a clearly amused unamused look as he checked off his answer to the seventh question in a quite deliberate manner. "Quirky it is, then!"
"And I am, or I can be. I was especially so as a child, you know. I almost never left the Ravenclaw tower. And if I did I was in the library. Though, you try explaining to hormonal people that you could at any minute fall out and start uttering nonsense out loud to no one in particular." And see, Jasper thought that THIS is what would brand him an outcast. Though, perhaps some of his classmates would've said his hair. Far too long for his face. He finished the application and turned it in.

Here goes nothing....
Goodness, there were a lot of children without their parents here! Maybe, though he ought to have taken it as a good sign that the year's new hirers at the Department of Law Enforcement were shaping up well, and that it was safe enough for the children to run about unescorted as often as they seemed to. Did that mean that they'd apprehended the time thief and he just hadn't heard about it?
"What sort of animal are you hoping to get?" He asked the little girl with a smile.

"What sort of animal are you hoping to get?" He asked the little girl with a smile.
Heather bumped up against him playfully. "You didn't ask me if I thought you were quirky." He had only said introverted and curious. Men. "But hey, if the wand fits, wave it around and do a few tricks." Yeah, she was a dork and the more she stood there with him the dorkier she would get.
She smiled and watched as his application was turned in. She frowned and shook her head. "I never would have guessed you for the locked up kind of guy." However, he did have a point. It wouldn't be easy going out being who he was. "I was really outgoing when I was in school. Quidditch. Gobstones. I did it all."
A frown fell upon her face, one she didn't want to have around Jasper but when she thought of all the things she did at school it brought up Marco and the never ending guilt she felt over how she had treated him and Jason. Taking a deep breath she pushed the negative away placing a small, but not so real smile on her face. She realized then that Jasper was talking to a little girl and Heather stood there awkwardly. She was getting better but not good enough to talk to strangers, even little ones. Part of being in Magical law Enforcement, it made you distrust almost everyone.

And then it happened for a second time. She wanted something, perhaps needed something. Should he have done it back? What a fine line it was between cruelty and kindess. Jasper put his arm around Heather giving her a side-to-side hug as she pointed out his error. "I didn't. But I meant it. I was somewhat hoping you'd use your empathetic communication." He was joshing. Or he'd better have been.
His smile purveyed a teasing sort of air about it. His entire expression, in fact as he released Heather from the hug. "Twice voted most popular, queen of the maypole, envy of all the girls!" He added to her list of things that he thought girls like her were involved in while at school, most, if not all, of which he'd made up. "And, Merlin, Heather! I'm practically a shut-in!" He was going to go into how very opposite their social experiences must have been at Hogwarts, but he noticed the mirthless little smile.
"Alright?" His concern evident upon his face. Had he teased a bit too much for a day?

Heather laughed and just let him poke his fun. It made him happy and that's all that mattered to her. She beamed as he gave her a hug and sighed when he released her. "I don't know if I was the envy of all girls, but the other could qualify." She smiled at Jasper and gestured to the area around her. "Does this look shut in to you?" She knew what he meant though, how could she not. She was a shut in these days. Guess it just came with age.
"I'm..." She wanted to say fine but Heather knew she was a little sad. "I guess talking about the past put it fresh put it in my mind." She looked up at him and gave him another small half smile. "I sometimes wonder if I'll ever stop with all this self loathing," she whispered softly. She wasn't asking him if he thought she would, she was just stating a fact.
Lighter topic. She needed a lighter topic. "So, have you decided what kind of pet you would like to keep you company? If you really are such a shut in, it would do you some good to have an extra someone around." Yes, animals were kind of like people in her opinion.

BECAUSE PETS WERE AWESOME, AMIRIGHT?
Astrid was totally going supplies!shopping this summer because she was apparently going to Hogwarts because her Daddy said so and all that stuff. But she only really wanted a pet so that she didn't become lonely in Hogwarts, you know? It was important because there would be no Cleo for her anymore, since her best friend would be staying in France WITHOUT her. Sad story right? Her dad would get her the owl, since she didn't have one yet.
Okay so, hello there volunteers. Astrid's here. The brunette took an application and filled it up. Someone wanna entertain her or something?

"HELLO!" William greeted the next person to step up to the adoption table. He'd just arrived for his volunteer shift and he was RRRREADY to get down to business! This girl looked like a good pet owner. Maybe. Could be friendly. "I'm William Williamson, volunteer with the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and I'll be helping you get your dream pet today!" He always hated that word 'control' in there. Argh. Animals didn't need to be controlled, they just needed to be understood.
Anyway. He accepted her application and read it over with an ever-so-slight tilt of the head. "So.... I'm guessing you aren't a cat person?" Could rule out kneazles then. "Hmm. How do you feel about fluffy things?"

OH HEY LOOK. A person volunteer! Astrid beamed at him and waved BOTH hands, because he was awesome enough for choosing to entertain her, you know? It was necessary. Dream pet. THAT HAD A NICE RING TO IT. SHE WAS SO EXCITED, CAN HE SEE? "Hiiii Mr. Will-Awesome." Will-Awesome sounds awesome-r. Geddit? "I'm Astrid! Yeah, you can tell already because I wrote it on the application form anyway."
Cat person? Hmm. Astrid pondered. "I do like fluffy animals... but dogs are better. Not that I'm saying cats aren't nice, but you knooooow." Mhm. She nodded. "They're also nice cuddle buddies." If she was only allowed to check TWO options per item, she would've checked that option as well.

Oh wow, he got a wave with BOTH hands. Somebody was enthusiastic about rescuing a pet!!!! He APPROVED. Also, this girl called him awesome. Aww. Made him miss teaching kids.
"Yeah, hi Astrid, I got that from your app." He smiled crookedly and considered what she said. "Well, we all love cuddle buddies. BUT," he turned his clipboard around and pointed to question four, "not all dogs are allowed at Hogwarts. Actually, I'm pretty sure no dogs are allowed at Hogwarts." His smile was a little more sad now. "So, are you REALLY really REALLY wanting to take your new pet to Hogwarts with you? If so, I have some cuddly AND fun options for you that are allowed there...." And he would know, because he'd taught there. Duh!

YES. CUDDLE BUDDIES. The brunette tried not to bounce a lot... until. AAWWW. "Really? That's sad..." Astrid looked down with a pout. But she wasn't going to give up! She was going to get a pet, okay? She wouldn't leave without one! As for the wanting to take her new pet to Hogwarts thing, she looked up AGAIN and nodded with a biiiig smile. "Of course I do! I wouldn't wanna get lonely. Nobody wants to be lonely." One person being lonely affects everyone... like a disease! GASP. "Reaaallly? You have cuddly AND fun pets that are allowed in Hogwarts?"
She was totally bouncing now. EXCITEMENT FILLED THE AAAAIR.

"It just means that you have to leave the exotic ones at home! Hogwarts has different animals for you to play with." William gave the girl a small wink and set down his clipboard. No, nobody wanted to be lonely. Don't get him started on that topic. "I'll be right back," he added, and turned to go fetch her cuddly AND fun pet.
He returned a few moments later with a small, fluffly little blob of blue perched on his shoulder. "THIS is Peewee," he informed her proudly, detaching the little guy from his shoulder and handing him over. "He's very good at humming in tune, so you could, in theory, sing karaoke with him." Would she like it try it now? He could play the air guitar if she wanted.
"Peewee is a rescue from a trash can in Diagon Alley, actually. We think his owner dropped him just outside the Magical Menagerie in favor of a bigger, meaner pet." William frowned again, but not for long. Surely this little miss would take good care of Peewee! "Poor guy had all sorts of things stuck in his fur at first. But now it's all grown back and he loves to be groomed and played with and sang to and he's EXCELLENT at bouncing and shoulder-perching. Will you take him?"

So. Pets. Yep. Sky was definitely here for one of those. Well, more than one, hopefully. An owl and something else? Something that would be okay to have around her baby cousin. She was so thankful that her Aunt Roxi had given her permission to come down and adopt a pet. Since she would be living with her for the next four years while she attended WU-London.
Anyway, as she joined the line with form in hand, she thought she saw someone familiar at the table. But it couldn't be, could it? The last she'd heard, Professor Williamson had left with Roro the dragon was working with dragons in Romania.
Hmm.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. More pouting. No cool animals in Hogwarts? That was kinda sad but for safety reasons, right? What would happen if someone brought an ABRAXAN to school? That would be so bloody awesome, but scary. Could you imagine a flying horse in your dormitory? No, right? Exactly. But... MR. WILL-AWESOME WAS GONNA GET HER CUDDLY PET. "Okay!" She was getting more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more excited.
LOOOKIT! A fluffy blue thingy. He was so A-DO-RA-BLE. Astrid took the little thing carefully, as if Peewee would break if she didn't handle him with care. "He's so pretty." Could she call male things pretty? 'Course she can. SHE WOULD SO TRY IT OUT LATER. SO FREAKIN' COOL. Then she pet his little head. N'AAW SO CUTE. "And fluffy too." Cuddles will happen later.
And then... oh. WHY WOULD SOMEONE THROW HIM AWAY LIKE THAT? Astrid gave sympathetic looks at Peewee and held him close. Poor baby. Mama Astrid is here! "I'LL TAKE HIM! I WILL!" the brunette beamed and bounced. Pretty little thing needed a home and Super!Astrid was here to save him! "Thank you so mucho, Mr. Will-Awesome!" He got a salute from the girl. Nobody tell Tyler Bellaire that this happened.

Maybe, though he ought to have taken it as a good sign that the year's new hirers at the Department of Law Enforcement were shaping up well, and that it was safe enough for the children to run about unescorted as often as they seemed to. Did that mean that they'd apprehended the time thief and he just hadn't heard about it?
"What sort of animal are you hoping to get?" He asked the little girl with a smile.
Waiting patiently in a line was something she did very well. After years of waiting in the chow line at the orphanage she had learned the fine art of people watching. This adoption fair provided her with ample entertainment and also gave her a feel for this years turn outs.
Her attention was grabbed however as an adult addressed her. Her greyish green eyes rose to his face and she tried to ferret out why he was talking to her. In her vast amount of experience there was a motive behind every gesture and it didn't take very much effort to discover what that was. She frowned a bit though when all she read of his face was genuine curiosity.
At length the 13 year old shrugged. "Not too sure actually. Just thought I'd take the test and see what I came up with."

Madison looked expectantly at the volunteer as she waited to claim her pet. Had she done something wrong? Alyssa had completed all the necessary forms, and they had been waiting here watching others claim their pets, but no one had come to give her hers.
But she knew she had to be patient. So she continued to stare unblinkingly at the person sitting at the adoption table.
Heather laughed and just let him poke his fun. It made him happy and that's all that mattered to her. She beamed as he gave her a hug and sighed when he released her. "I don't know if I was the envy of all girls, but the other could qualify." She smiled at Jasper and gestured to the area around her. "Does this look shut in to you?" She knew what he meant though, how could she not. She was a shut in these days. Guess it just came with age.
"I'm..." She wanted to say fine but Heather knew she was a little sad. "I guess talking about the past put it fresh put it in my mind." She looked up at him and gave him another small half smile. "I sometimes wonder if I'll ever stop with all this self loathing," she whispered softly. She wasn't asking him if he thought she would, she was just stating a fact.
Lighter topic. She needed a lighter topic. "So, have you decided what kind of pet you would like to keep you company? If you really are such a shut in, it would do you some good to have an extra someone around." Yes, animals were kind of like people in her opinion.
He wanted to say more to her, but he was well within the 80% range of certainty that it would start an argument. He reached instead for her hand and gave it what he hoped amounted to a comforting squeeze.
He held her in his sight with a side glance in the midst of a cautious expression. He was considering what not to say to her. Everything that came to mind felt like something he should dismiss. "You know, I've often thought that myself." Came the closest to being what he thought might have been the least offensive choice. "Not yet. I'm afraid I'm no creature expert. My brother, on the other hand is quite good with them. Especially, magical marine life. I'd be happy with a goldfish, though." Just please no dare-devil ones. It was all Jasper's nerves could take with the last pair of jumpers he had. Didn't they know there was no water on the other side? Didn't they KNOW?!!
Jasper's pulse quickened just thinking about Mimi & Marshall, but he calmed himself enough to suggest an idea, "Why don't we go and get tea afterward?" They could talk there.

Jesse had taken his lunch break early, and come back to a little girl staring at all the other volunteers. She must want an owl for the kind of stare she was holding at them, could definitely give them a run for their money.
"What pet are you interested in, kid?" He took a seat and leaned forward, motioning her closer with two fingers and a welcoming smile.

Anyway, as she joined the line with form in hand, she thought she saw someone familiar at the table. But it couldn't be, could it? The last she'd heard, Professor Williamson had left with Roro the dragon was working with dragons in Romania.
Hmm.
Hey, this kid young adult lady person looked familiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaar....
"Hi!" William took her application. Sky, right, that was the name. Her... mom? Relative? Definitely worked on the same floor as him. LOOK, HE KNEW THINGS!
Hehe. Anyway. "Hmmmmm. So you want more than one animal, but unforunately, our pet-rescue guidelines state that we can only out give one animal per person today." He gave her a bit of a smile anyway. "So which would you rather have today: a cool creature to take to school with you, or a wild fun one to keep at your house with a yard?"
Cos crups, for example, didn't do well in dorms. Just ask him. He'd once helped a crup birth a litter right on his dorm bed, back in the day. Heh heh.

She was getting more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more excited.
LOOOKIT! A fluffy blue thingy. He was so A-DO-RA-BLE. Astrid took the little thing carefully, as if Peewee would break if she didn't handle him with care. "He's so pretty." Could she call male things pretty? 'Course she can. SHE WOULD SO TRY IT OUT LATER. SO FREAKIN' COOL. Then she pet his little head. N'AAW SO CUTE. "And fluffy too." Cuddles will happen later.
And then... oh. WHY WOULD SOMEONE THROW HIM AWAY LIKE THAT? Astrid gave sympathetic looks at Peewee and held him close. Poor baby. Mama Astrid is here! "I'LL TAKE HIM! I WILL!" the brunette beamed and bounced. Pretty little thing needed a home and Super!Astrid was here to save him! "Thank you so mucho, Mr. Will-Awesome!" He got a salute from the girl. Nobody tell Tyler Bellaire that this happened.
N'awwwwww she loved Peewee. Look at that, cuddle buddies already. And was that a little pink tongue poking out to lick Astrid on the hand? Hehe. See, he knew they'd be a good match. He was GOOD at THIS.
"He IS pretty. Look, he likes you." William pointed out the tongue. "And fluffy indeed, AND fun. So he meets all your requirements!" And she was taking him, goooooooood. "Alllllllllright, here's your adoption certificate and some papers explaining how to care for your new pygmy puff," he handed those over to her free hand. "You're welcome! Have a great day now!"

"I had one of those once." Heather smiled fondly at the memory of the fish. "I tried to pet it one day and it died not too long after. My mum said it was because fish aren't supposed to be touched but I was four so I guess I didn't understand that at that age." She hoped her pet wouldn't die from her touch. That would be awful.
Tea. She could go for a cup of coffee. Maybe Jasper could have tea and she coffee. "I'd like that." Maybe even then they would be able to openly speak. She felt so restricted right now. Afraid to even think the words she couldn't say.
