"Well, I suppose we could take a few of your... Inventions.. If they sell well, we may think about a Permanant agreement." The Zonkos shopkeeper said taking the box of assorted Bombs and such that Sadie Butley had placed on the counter in front of her. She also pulled out her money bag and placed 7 sickles on the counter as well. She smiled before picking up her bag of newly bought Dungbombs and Stink Pellets and heading towards the Main Hogsmeade street through the open door.
Well, it hadn't been much, but it had been a start. Anyways what had that shopkeeper meant? 'If they sell well'. Of course they would! She had already sold them to many Hogwarts students and had spent most of the Summer perfecting them. Those four words were insulting in her mind, in fact it was the worst thing you could say to a person who is trying to start a small buisness.
Sadie stopped. What was she supposed to do now? She had only come to Hogsmeade to show Zonkos her inventions, and that hadn't taken as long as she had thought. Well, she could go and buy some Owl Treats for Jupiter, her Black Barn owl. She was feeling sort of guilty for not paying her much attention lately.

“Maybe if I send Mum some flowers, she’ll stop pestering me?”<br>The voice floated along the street, as Remus Lupin appeared around the corner, holding an owl cage in one hand. He seemed to be talking to the owl, so named Mousebreath.
Mousebreath hooted, opening one sleepy amber eye to stare up at Remus.
“Yeah, I know,” Remus muttered, as if he understood what the owl was in fact saying to him.

Sadie turned at the sound of a familiar voice. Her pale blue eyes landed on a boy. The boy was of course Master Remus Lupin, a fellow Gryffindor in fact. Sadie smiled yelling "Hi Remus!". She seemed totally oblivious to the many strange looks hse was getting, hey, if they can't handle a little volume that's their problem, not hers.
Sadie sniffed, the smell of Honeyduked chocolate lingered in the air, that and the smell of Mead wafting out of the Three Broomsticks. Hogsmeade was a brilliant place, even the Old Building that no-one could go near looked great to her. She would obviously end up buying many things here, good thing she sold some of her inventions Yesterday.

Remus looked up, smiling.
“Hey Sadie! What are you doing?” he asked, walking up to her, while Mousebreath hooted a low greeting.
“Mousebreath says hello,” he added, still smiling.

Sadie grinned. "Hello Mousebreath.." she said looking at the owl. She looked up at Remus, "Oh, I'm just on a Buisness trip.. Zonkos siad they'll sell all my pranking stuff.." she said her grin becoming wider. "But it didn't take that long, so I'm kind of low on ideas on what to do.."

“I’m heading up to the look at the Shrieking Shack after I drop off Mousebreath, want to come?” Remus asked, while the owl continued to hoot lazily. |

Sadie grinned. "I'd love to, I just have to buy a few things first though.." she said looking around the street, Where was she supposed to buy Owl Treats? "Where's the pet shop.. or something like that?" she asked Remus lamely.

“Down there. I need to take Mousebreath in there,” Remus replied, pointing to a shop with cages outside. He walked inside, not saying a word, and placed Mousebreath’s cage on the desk. The lady took the owl, smiled at him, and sat back down. |

Sadie shrugged and followed him into the shop filled with Cages. She picked out some Owl treats, placed some coins on the counter and looked at Remus. "Erm.. Shall we er.. go?" she asked seeing Mousebreath being passed over the counter.

“Sure,” Remus replied, waving a goodbye to the lady before leaving the shop. “Come on then!” |

"Coming.." she said rolling her eyes as she followed him. She looked at the Shreiking Shack. "Erm.. How are we going to get down there? I mean there's loads of fences and stuff.."

“You just…” Remus trailed off, pushing the fence, and ducking through it when it opened up slightly. “Go through here.” |

Sadie nodded her head in understandment. "Oh ok then.. and that's.. oh so noticiable," she said steppin gthrough the hole in the fence. "How the hell did you find that out?" she said looking at the fence for a few moments.

Remus grinned.
“I come here nearly every time. I never miss it.” Remus replied, pushing the fence picket back into place.

"Ok then.." she said shoving her free hand into the pocket of her jacket. "So you've been to the Shreiking shack loads of times before then? And to think I've been wanting to go for ages.."
