Simon stood there behind the counter of the pet store known as Magical Menagerie. It was at first an interesting job, but then it became more of a pain. The rats loved to tantalize the cats with their dancing and prancing. The Pygmy Puffs didn't help either. He was new, that was clear. He didn't know what Streelers were, let alone how to feed most of the animals. Simon, in his blue shirt and white apron, heard his red-bellied black snake crawl around his shoulder. He stroked him on his head and said, "Tats, I don't know what to do." Tats simply put out his tongue and contentedly hissed.
He decided that it was best to look and see how busy Diagon Alley was. He stepped out the shop and checked the alley, leaving with the bell from the door chiming. The alley had a few people wandering around, but otherwise it wasn't a busy day. At least I don't have to be concerned with people coming in, he thought. "Today is going to be a boring day, huh Tats?" He grabbed Tats and let him wrap around his hand. It was easier to maneuver with one hand than a snake around his neck. He walked into the store, checking each display and animal to make sure everything was good.
