Ciao Oggie! I'm Felicia! [She winks at him and breaks out into giggles.]

[syned_a_brik]

Vot a niz name! [He winks back and grins.]

Does hyu has an owl of hyu own?

[pizzaitaliana]

[She pouts sadly.]

No... I can't have one, I already have a kitty. But I want an owl, too, they're cute!

[syned_a_brik]

Oh no!

Yah, owls iz useful too. But it vould be sad to get a pet und not be able to take it mit hyu! My sister has a pet she ken't take mit her, und it is alvays sad.

Does hyu kitty haf a name?

[pizzaitaliana]

Felpato! He's a cute tabby cat and he likes to cuddle with me. He sleeps in my bed, too - but don't tell anyone, I told my sister he doesn't!

[She tilts her head to the side.] What pet does your sister have?

[syned_a_brik]

Aw. He sounds like a niz kitty. Dun vorry! Hy von't tell. [He makes a zippering motion across his lips that she might not understand, being a pureblood.]

[His face lights up.] A bear! His name iz Fust.

[pizzaitaliana]

A bear! [She breathes the word in awe, her eyes are wide and shine with wonder.]

Ve~! Bears are so cute and fuzzy and I would love to cuddle a baby bear!

[syned_a_brik]

Fust is not baby enymore, but is still very fuzzy! He is sveethot. [UH the Jaeger definition of a sweetheart is a little... broader than everyone else's...]

[pizzaitaliana]

[Fortunately, Felicia's defition of cute animals is a bit broader than the general populace's, too.]

Fuzzy! [She is squealing here, oh yes, and if she could, she would have little hearts floating in her eyes.] Ooooh! I wish I could cuddle him!

[syned_a_brik]

[You're cute, Felicia. He beams.]

Hyu ken visit us sometime! Ve lives in Mechanicsburg, in Germany, yah. Fust loffs visitors! [... Oggie, no.]

[pizzaitaliana]

Ve~! I'm going to visit you and I'll bring my kitty and we can have fun together all day! Oh! Maybe our pets will all become friends, too! Wouldn't it be cute if they played together?

1/3

[syned_a_brik]

Yah!

2/3

[syned_a_brik]

...Hm. [Maybe a housecat and a bear together is not a good idea.]

3/3

[syned_a_brik]

[He'll cross that bridge later.] Ve ken haf fun today too! Mebbe Hy ken buy hyu some ice cream?

[pizzaitaliana]

I want chocolate sprinkles on mine!

[Oh, wait. She has been raised to have better manners than that. But she's hungry!]

Yes, I would love to eat ice cream with you, Oggie!

[syned_a_brik]

Hokay! Lets go! [WAIT. He checks his pockets hurriedly. Oh whew. Nevermind, there is some money. He'd hate to have looked that stupid in front of a pretty girl...]

Yah, to Fortescue's!

[pizzaitaliana]

[She giggles and tries to link arms with him, already singing about ice cream.]

Ice cream ice cream tasty ice cream! Chocolate, strawberry and... Ve, what rhymes on strawberry?

[syned_a_brik]

[He is more than happy with linking arms!

He looks thoughtful for a moment.]

Hm. "A sundae mit a cherry"?

[pizzaitaliana]

Yes, that's good! Oggie's good with rhymes!

[She's skipping slightly, she has made a new friend and it's a nice day and there is ice cream to be had, how could you not want to dance on a nice day like this?]

[syned_a_brik]

Hurray!

[He doesn't join in the skipping, but he keeps pace easily.]

[pizzaitaliana]

[She keeps up the singing all the way to Fortescue's, blithely unconcerned by the odd looks people are giving them. These just make her sing louder. People are obviously staring and whispering because they enjoy her song.]

Do you come here often? I love ice cream and chocolate and all kinds of sweets!

[syned_a_brik]

[Oggie never even notices the odd looks. He's that used to them.]

Nein, Hy iz not in London very offen. Chust ven gettink ready for school, und leafink Hogvarts. But is alvays niz to get food ven hyu is schoppink! Food iz gut, yah.

[He frowns at the menu, attempting to decipher the spelling.]

Vot do hyu vent to get?

[pizzaitaliana]

Yes, you can't go shopping at Diagon Alley without an ice cream! That would be... That would be wrong!

[She reads her menu intently, humming and cooing at the various ice cream flavors and wrinkling her face at a few questionable ones.]

I want chocolate! Simple good old chocolate ice cream is the best. And I want chocolate sprinkles and whipped cream.

[syned_a_brik]

Dat sounds goot. Hm... Yah, ve gets two a dose. [That way he won't be tempted to take any of hers.]

[He buys two bowls of ice cream and finds a free table for them.]

[pizzaitaliana]

[Fellicia giggles and blushes as she sits down.] You're so nice!

[She cradles her bowl in her hand, cooing lovingly at it. Such delicious, pretty food. She grabs her spoon and hovers over the bowl.] On three!
