If it doesn't come in a cage or a tank, you will find it on the displays. Aside from the animals available in the store, you can also buy numerous supplies here as well. From health to medicinal to necessities to toys and accessories, you can find anything your new pet may need or desire just by browsing the displays! No matter the pet, you are sure to find a variety of supplies to welcome yours into the family, or pamper an old friend.

Numerous different foods can be found, from sensitive stomach to diet, and regular. If you need shampoo of any kind, they can be found in this area, too. If your pet has fleas or ticks, you can take care of them with a bottle or two. Of course, if you just want your Crup to stop smelling like wet Cruppie, these shampoos can even take care of that! While you're here, check out some of the grooming supplies. Brushes of all shapes, sizes, and materials are available. Snag a smaller brush to fluff up your pygmy puff's fur, maybe a wiry brush to tame your Niffler's hair, and your cat or dog would probably greatly enjoy a dander-snagging brush to keep them smooth and sparkly.

Necessary supplies include such items as tanks, aquariums, cages, travel cages, and more. Make sure to buy everything you need; wouldn't you hate to get home and find out you forgot something? If you need to, talk to the shop keeper to make sure you're buying the appropriate size and type of cage for your new pet. Some animals need much larger environments and some do not do well in certain types of cages.

If toys and accessories are what your pet is desiring, you'll find a plethora! Collars and leashes are just the tip of the iceberg. Your pet can be the most stylish if you pick up some nifty outfits for them. Mix and match the pieces to create a fashionable wardrobe! Booties are available for when the weather becomes too cold for your pets to bear it. All kinds of toys can be found here - from balls to squeaky toys, fake mice, feathers, dangly toys, shiny flashy toys... Your pet will never be bored with this selection.

When you've found the creature you've been looking for, please make your way to the counter for purchase!

If you are looking for animals, please see our creatures room.

Sharp talons dug through her fine hair and seemed to latch onto her skulls, bringing tears to her eyes.

At least she didn't scream. Above all things, it would be terrible to scream... flapping around and yelling her head off was not an appropriate response to stress. She did 'eep' at the first attack, and then again when Vickers removed the bird and the clump of blond hair attached to one foot.

Breathing. In and out. And no crying, no matter HOW MUCH that had just hurt. Genevieve rubbed the crown of her head and scowled at Vickers. "You trying to steal some of my hair for polyjuice? You could have just asked like a normal person."

If he was flustered earlier in their conversation that was NOTHING like how RED he’s gotten now. He nearly blinded her last time, now he pulled her hair… well not HIM directly but still “I’m so sorry!..” he repeated, trying to get a better handle of the frantic bird. At the ~~accusation~~ mention of stealing for Polyjuice he completely lost his hold of the cockatoo and the bird bolted for the ceiling. His head shifted between Vivi and Dolly like a weather vane, not knowing which one to focus on “N-No! I don’t need it for Polyjuice-- I-I mean I’m not even thinking of making Polyjuice, I have no reason to.” At least not right now, and even then he’s probably not using a girl’s hair. That’s too much weirdness than he can conceivably handle.

But seeing Vivi nurse a spot on her head made him twice as guilty “Dolly come back down here!” he commanded the cockatoo with an incessant shake of his arm for her to perch on....

~~Master~~ BUGEYE just plucked her out of Shiny Head’s head and her SHINY SHIMMERING SPLENDID NEST! How DARE he! She squawked and ruffled her feather defiantly as she perched herself between the wall and the ceiling, Vivi’s golden hair visibly tangled and hanging off her foot “CREEPER! Back to bushes! SQUAWKK!!” she crowed at him, her feathers all flared out from the tip of her head all the way to her tail. Oh look! The door OPENED! Dolly zoooooomed for that gap in the wall and flew into the bright blue sky….

“DOLLY!” Vickers called after his pet but she was gone. He clapped his hand against his forehead. She ran away from him AGAIN. Fighting the urge to go after her in full sprint like he usually does, he turns around and faces Vivi. “Sh… she’ll be back. She does that… often--sometimes… yeah.”

He helplessly gestures towards her head “I’m so sorry about that” he winces guiltily. Yes he has apologized already but he felt like it wasn’t enough “You… you don’t have a pet? Wh--were you going to get one today?” Greeeeaaaat impression for Vivi about pet behaviors. “I can maybe help you out with that… or not, lest she think he would pick out another difficult one like Dolly "Or I could get supplies…. or something?”

Yes, he was SORRY. Everyone was so sorry today. Ugh. Genevieve rubbed her head and turned a shoulder to Vickers, not quite a full back but still a casual dismissal of his apology. It didn't unyank her HAIR or unruffle her ponytail.

"I don't want to keep you from chasing down your demon bird. If you stay, you may never see her again." Although... was that such a bad thing? Really? The bird had pulled out her HAIR.

She headed a few steps down the aisle before pausing to let Vickers catch up. "I get to pluck feathers from your pet turkey or cause you physical harm later. Deal?"

It had been...twenty years, maybe more since he had been to Diagon Alley. And wouldn't you know it, he only needed to visit two shops and they were at opposite ends of the street.

Sebastian didn't mind of course, it would give hima chance to check out the other shops that were here. No doubt a lot had changed since he had been here last. First though, he needed to find some toys for Pepper and Millie. He didn't know how busy he was going to be in his new job so his dog, well his daughter's dog who he just happened to be looking after and his wombat would need something to keep them occupied.

But what to buy?

That was the sixty four thousand dollar question, wasn't it. Seb looked at the shelves in front of him and had absolutely no idea where to start.

He was going to need some help.

This was all so new.

Destiny had been working in the Magical Menagerie for two years now, and she had never seen so many old people inside of it. Usually it was the little kids that were excited about buying a pet, or even just buying something for a pet. Never old people, though. She figured the older a person got, the more sensitive their noses got. And the shop did have a tendency of stinking quite a bit.

She could understand why they would stay away.

But the old people who did so happen to venture inside the shop, she knew she just had to help. Which was why she was already making her way over to the man by the displays. "Hello, sir!" she said a little louder than she would have if he was younger. "Can I help you get anything?" Like.. a walking stick perhaps?

Sebastian was just reaching for a rubber looking bone when a rather loud voice beside him spoke and he immediately dropped his hand and looked at the young woman who had spoke to him.

"I would appreciate that." he said glancing at all the toys on the shelves again before returning his gaze to the woman. "I need some something that is going to keep a very energetic dog and wombat, that thinks she's a dog occupied while I can't be with them."

While the menagerie did have a good range of toys, they looked too small for Pepper. He had seen that dog rip the head off a stuffed teddy bear in two seconds flat. She had only been playing but the bear had never stood a chance.

For a second there, Destiny thought the guy was talking about needing a walking stick. But then she remembered she had only thought that, and a grin made its way onto her face. Just help picking out toys for his pets. A very energetic dog and.. "A WOMBAT!?" she yelled excitedly, looking the man over in case he had the wombat on him right then. She had waited on a girl not too long ago who had a ferret in her bag. He could easily have a wombat under his shirt!

"I mean, sorry. You have a wombat?" A pet wombat. A pet wombat who acted like a dog! She wanted a pet wombat! But first, she was going to have to help the guy, right? Right.

Moving down the line of toys, and still keeping her eyes on the man in case the wombat showed itself, Destiny picked out a few of the most popular dog toys. A few balls. A few tug-of-war ropes. Some blue rubber thing that kind of looked like a snowman. "It's not a small dog, is it?" Because then she would have to start all over again.

She should have asked that first.

The young woman's yelling actually startled Sebastian and he jumped back a little, blinking rapidly at her. He was actually surprised that she knew what a wombat was. They weren't magical creatures and they were only native to Australia, but it semed that this young woman knew her stuff. And after his inital shock of her yelling at him, he finally managed a chuckle.

"Yes I have a wombat. Her name is Millie and she's been hanging around Pepper since she was a baby, so she does everything the dog does." he explained as he slowly followed the woman as she walked along the shelf. He kept his distance though, in case she started yelling again.

Sebastian watched as she pulled down a few toys and he nodded approvingly at her choices. "No, she's definitely not a small dog." He chuckled again. "She's a very spoiled dog. My daughter and son-in-law let her have the run of their house so now she thinks she can have the run of mine." And he totally let her, but he wasn't going to say that out loud. How would it look to have a dog and a wombat practically running his life.

Those piercing blues darted back towards the door. Its not so much about never seeing Dolly again-- she will always come back he knows, its fighting the habit of going after her each and every time she flies off. Being the pet.

Well heck he’s not coming after her this time.

“She’ll come back tonight or something when she realizes she doesn’t have food or a ready place to stay.” he said with a firmer nod, trying to squelch that worrying nature he had for creatures. But then his eyes grew large when she mentioned something about “Pluckherfeathers?” cue frantic shaking of the head “No please don’t do that--” because he has a soft spot for creatures, she should’ve seen how he was with the generic Plimpies from Potions class “-- she's just a bird. She doesnt really know what she's doing, she doesnt understand cause and effect... actions and consequences. Y-you can take it out on me. I'm her owner, I take responsibility for her.” eyes twitches slightly, anticipating those flying fists he unfortunately met last summer….

"Cheer up," Genevieve tugged on Vickers' arm briefly before setting off down the aisle again. "I won't hurt you any more or less than you've just hurt me. A fair trade. I'm always fair."

She was always fair. Truly.

"Do I seem like the type of person who would own a cat?" She wasn't sure if she was a cat person or not, but she certainly wasn't a dog person. Slobbery kisses and obsessive gratitude. If she wanted that, she'd get a boyfriend.

Crud. She had done it again.

Just when she made a promise that she would stop, or at least try to stop scaring the customers, she goes and does just that. And this man was not just any customer either. Oh no. He was an old man customer. Merlin only knew what she had just done to his heart! Jumping just a little as he jumped back, perhaps somewhat afraid that he was going to keel over right then, Destiny gave him an apologetic smile. Yes, she was sorry for almost killing the old man.

Especially an awesome old man. He had a pet wombat!

A pet wombat named.. "MILLIE!!" she yelled before clasping her dog toy filled hands over her mouth. "I mean.. sorry." Again. "I get a little excited." Just in case the guy didn't notice. "I never knew a dog and a wombat could get along! Well, I guess they could get along, but wombats usually keep to themselves and.." She was rambling. Rambling on and on about something the guy probably didn't even care about. All he wanted was help finding toys.

Clearing her throat, Destiny turned back towards the shelves. Not a small dog, good. She had picked out the right kind of toys then. "A spoiled dog is a well looked after dog." Or.. something like that. "Anyway, these toys," she turned back towards the man and held out her hands, "can be used for the wombat and the dog. But you're going to need special toys for the wombat. Since their teeth never stop growing, you'll need something she can chew on to keep them short. Like.. a stick.. or a piece of wood.." Did they even sell pieces of wood? She supposed he could go cut down a tree.

Ok so she wasn’t going to hit him. She said she was fair-- which was a big relief for him to hear…. until he realized the potential danger to his own hair. A hand runs through his head for a moment. Theres gonna be a future ouch somewhere here…

Now was she a cat person? He turned his head and regarded her for a moment. “Well you seem pretty independent and would probably best have a pet that doesn’t require too much attention…” so fussy lap dogs are out, as were more energetic ones like Dalmatians. And he is totally gonna sidestep any mention of birds. “Yeah I think you’d do well with a cat-- or how about a Kneazle? Much better than a cat. They’re very smart, independent but can be quite affectionate to their Masters and are good judges of character.” he said, looping back to what she mentioned earlier.

Merlin! This girl was nuttier than a fruit cake. "It's quite alright. I'm used to it." His daughter was the same at times. He would just make sure to stay a safe distance away from her in case she got carried away in her excitement and did something crazy.

"Like I said the two have been together since Millie was a baby. Her mother got hit by a car see and little Millie was inside the pouch." She was lucky to be alive herself. Sebastian had found her and taken her home and raised her.

Oh yeah. Pepper was definitely well looked after, that's for sure. Sebastian took the toys out of the young womna's hands and looked them over. He hoped Pepper and Millie was going to appreciate this because this was definitely going to cost him a fortune.

He looked back at the woman and chuckled. "Since she's going to be living at Hogwarts from now on, I think we can find her some sticks to chew on."

With his hands full, Sebastian there awkwardly, wondering whether to go to the counter or wait for the woman to take him there. Unless she planned on loading him up with more stuff.

"A Kneazle," Genevieve repeated thoughtfully. She slowed her pace and considered that. Yes, it made sense... cats were fickle, but they chose who they loved and stuck with it. And a Kneazle was an excellent pet for someone interested in a defense career.

"Where are they?"

Perhaps it was better that the old guy didn't have Millie the wombat on him. Sure, he had said that he was used to having someone excited around him, or at least, that's what she thought he had meant, who knew how she would have reacted to actually seeing the thing! She might have tried to steal it!

And that wouldn't have been the first time something like that happened.

Pushing those unimportant thoughts from her head, though, Destiny stared, wide-eyed and opened mouthed at him as he told the story about how he had found Millie. That.. that was so SAD! The saddest story she had ever heard! "Poor Millie! Poor Millie's mother!" And if she wasn't all depressed now over that story, she was going to need to eat extra chocolate frogs after this, she would have asked him if he knew that the wombat's pouch is backwards so they don't get dirt inside of it. Maybe she could throw that little fact in when they were at the register. If the guy was done looking around.

Which he seemed to be. Handing over the toys, she was just about to show him to the register when his comment about his dog living at Hogwarts had her stopping. Hogwarts!? What was an old guy like him going to do at Hogwarts!? "Hogwarts must've changed since I graduated in seventy-six." Letting the elderly attend and all.

"We can go to the counter if you're done!"

He probably shouldn't have told her that. Sebastian had already figured out that the woman was quite the animal lover which made him think of Ruby. She was an avid animal fan went so far as to march in protests for animal rights. He heaved a sigh, he did not want to be thinking about her right now.

Sebastian stepped forward and gave the young woman a small pat on the shoulder. "I'm sorry to have upset you. Will you be okay?" She wasn't going to cry or anything, was she? Because he didn't think he had any tissues on him.

It took him a moment to realise what she was getting at and he laughed. "I'm going to be working there." His days of being a student were over years and years ago. Something else she said caught his attention and Sebastian looked at her. "My daughter graduated that year as well." Had they known each other?

He looked down at the toys in his hand and nodded. "Ah yeah. I'm done."

"Where are they?"

Vickers’ shifted his gaze across the shop “There-- should be at the Mammals section.” he pointed at the southwestern alcove that bore the sign. “After you?” he said with a small smile.

Sebastian stepped forward and gave the young woman a small pat on the shoulder. "I'm sorry to have upset you. Will you be okay?" She wasn't going to cry or anything, was she? Because he didn't think he had any tissues on him.

It took him a moment to realise what she was getting at and he laughed. "I'm going to be working there." His days of being a student were over years and years ago. Something else she said caught his attention and Sebastian looked at her. "My daughter graduated that year as well." Had they known each other?

He looked down at the toys in his hand and nodded. "Ah yeah. I'm done."

So. Sad.

So very sad! Destiny couldn't believe one of those muggle carps would just run over a poor wombat! Sure, they weren't the biggest of animals, but they were big enough to see when it was sitting in the middle of the road! Of course, she didn't even think that the wombat shouldn't have been in the middle of the road. It was all the carp's fault in her opinion. "Oh, yeah. I'll be fine." she waved her hand dismissively, "I watch those animal shows on the telliwission, and I've seen worse than that!" Like, zebras getting eaten by lions. Wildebeests getting eaten by crocodiles. That kind of stuff.

Ohhh.. right. He wasn't going to be attending Hogwarts, he was going to be working there. That possibility completely failed to cross her mind. And she would have been a nosy nugget and asked what he was going to be doing there if it wasn't for the fact that he mentioned having a daughter. A daughter who graduated the same year as she did. "Oh, really?" She took a few steps closer and peered at the man. "Who is she?"

Hopefully someone she got along with. Otherwise, this might be awkward.

And good! They were all done and Destiny BEAMED. She had helped yet another customer! "We can head to the register then!" Which she was now walking to.

You can go ahead and post here now. =D

Mina strolled into Magical Menagerie and headed straight for the displays. Athena would not be pleased if she brought home a new pet after Mina had left her to fend for herself all those months. No, she was not going to anger her pet any more than she had already. Her only means of trying to even make amends to her pet was to spoil her more to make up for the lost time. That was exactly what had brought her to this shoppe after all. Plus, she wanted to see her friend. It had been a few months since she last saw her chocolate buddy at the Monroe wedding.

Quietly, she browsed around the displays. She really didn't have any idea what exactly she was going to get her kitten, well Athena was more of a cat now; but don't let her hear that. The little beast had way too many toys to begin with, but she did seem to tire of them easily. Perhaps some thing completely different was needed. An angry Athena was not good at all.

Happy kitty in the flat meant Mina wouldn't be scratched whilst she attempted to get things done during her day. The past few days, she had lost count of the times that Athena took her anger out on her feet and legs. If she didn't love the beast so, she would have allowed Jade to take her when she had moved out.

It was that time of year again. The time of year where the street of Diagon Alley was empty, and Destiny Shepard was left alone in the Magical Menagerie bored out of her mind. She didn't understand why the shop was so empty. People didn't want to buy pets in the fall?

Where they only summer animals!?

Surely not. Who wouldn't want a Fire-Crab in the winter? Or even something cuddly to keep them warm! Animals were an year round thing. And just as she was thinking that, Destiny heard the little bell above the shop door jingle and she jumped up from behind the counter where she was sitting. It took her a few seconds to spot the customer and when she did..

"MINA!!" Rushing out from behind the counter, she stopped when she was standing right next to her friend. Her friend who she had not seen in what felt like FOREVER! "Are you buying a pet?" Because that was the most important question.

Mina continued to look around as little things caught her attention. There was so much there that she could get for Athena to back into the good graces of her pet, but whether she was really going to do it was the question. Her little beast already had a whole room full of toys, enough toys for at least two other pets. Maybe a toy wasn't need, but a companion. Glancing around the shop, she did notice how empty it was and just how adorable all the other animals looked. They needed homes too.

Innocent looking animals pulled at her heart and being surrounded by them was eating away at her self-control.

Cute little eyes were beckoning her to come closer and take them home. Maybe coming in on a slow day was not the best idea. She was bound to look and end up with another pet or two. She had more than enough room now that she thought about it, plus she was a bit lonely at times without Evan around. Maybe the company was something she needed.

Hearing her name, she turned as saw her friend coming toward her. "DESTINY!" she replied with a huge smile. "You are just the person that I'm looking for." When in doubt about animal issues, Destiny was the person to go to after all. Hearing the question, she nodded slowly. "Well, I wasn't intending to at first." Which was so completely true, but those eyes! "But, I think it is time for Athena to have a friend." Seriously, if she was to get another pet today; she really couldn't have picked a better person to help her.

Oh..

Mina was looking for her?

She really needed to stop hiding behind the counter while she was working. If it wasn't for the little bell that jingled everytime someone walked, her friend could have been walking around the shop looking for her forever! For some reason, which Destiny did not understand, no one thought to look behind the counter. At least, on the floor behind the counter. Mina wouldn't have been able to buy a friend for Athena either! Whoever.. or whatever that was. It was unimportant for the moment at least.

Still grinning, though, and clapping her hands just a little bit out of excitement, Destiny turned to see where they were standing and.. "You're not going to find a pet standing here!" In front of the toys and other things that were not alive. "Unless.. you wanted to look here first?" Didn't matter to her. She had literally alllll day.

And she was just happy to see her!

Mina smiled to her friend. Perhaps, she should have come to visit more often than she did. It was just one of the things that she was never all that great with. She did always tend to keep to herself a bit too much, but she had really come a long way in her opinion. She would seriously have to work on that but at least she found Destiny now and she could talk to her friend. She was still very much on the fence on things and she wanted an expert's opinion. Of all the people that she knew, obviously Destiny was the person to talk to. The lady had like billion animals after all. If anyone could possible talk her into actually getting another pet, it was this one.

Looking around at just where they were, Mina blushed a little. "Well, like I said before; I wasn't intending on it, but I think it is time." Her pet did need friends and she did miss having more than one being to come home to at the end of the day. "I was thinking about getting a toy of my little Athena, but I think a friend would be better." Looking at the toys, she shook her head. "Now that I think about it, she had enough toys. She only likes to tear them apart anyway." That little beast that she was!

"What kind of pet do you think I should get?"

Oh, riiiiight.

Destiny was just far too excited to see Mina that she wasn't really paying much attention to what her friend was saying. But really, she couldn't be blamed. It had seriously felt like forever since she last seen her! When was it anyway? Marie's wedding? That was forever ago. Now that she was seeing her, though, they had so much to catch up on. After she helped her pick out a new pet first. Pets were more important.

"But if you're getting a new pet, you're going to want to get it some toys, too!" You know, because a lot of animals didn't like to share. She had about fifty pets; she knew those things. "We can come back to the toys, though. First we find a pet." Taking hold of Mina's hand, she began to pull her towards the pet cages. They had the cutest little rats in and..

"Wait.. what is Athena?" A rat might not make a good friend, if Athena was say.. a cat..

Mystic Melody · 12-15-2012, 10:58 AM

Before Melody stopped at the counter she decided it was a good idea to get Mystic Midnite some supplies first. She got her a traveling cage for the trip to Hogwarts. Cat food, a mix of dry and and wet, and she got a toy mouse, cat nip, and a sting toy that that allowed Melody to hold while Mystic would bat at it. Melody then looked at the collars shaking her head she wasn't sure what she needed for a collar, or if it was needed. With the items she finally went to the counter for assistance.

Roselyn · 12-17-2012, 05:05 PM

Finding herself in Diagon Alley early in the summer to get her shopping done and out of the way, leaving time for more fun things, Medea opened the door to the Menagerie and immediately went to the section where she'd find the cat treats. Perhaps, she should buy only one box this time. Her cats were too fat and ate these like a vacuum. Although...hmmm, did they move the treats? She could've sworn she found them in this spot last time.
