I laugh as I brush past a small child on my way into the bookstore.
"Picture books with kitties, huh?" I ask the little girl. "You know, muggle books are probably better in cases like that... less moving." I shudder slightly.

"Well hello, Rosaline," I say, shaking her hand. "And hello Annabell."
I smile at Rosaline. "Kittens are fantastic," I say. "You have one?"

I nod. "Yeah... god, not kids though. I'm only sixteen... not that that's stopping a lot of my classmates," I mutter with a slight chuckle. "But I've got a two-year-old sister... and a twenty-year-old sister who's expecting a kid. And a brother but he doesn't count." I smile again. "She's cute."

I twist my mouth in sympathy. "What happened?" I ask softly, meaning both the dad and brother.

"my brother i dont know yet. but my ex boyfriend or ex future husband or whatever you wanna call him left me for another girl. i heard he marrying her and shes pregnat. but he's staying with her.... i dont get him...." i said softly as a tear rolled down my cheek. i wiped it away and looked for rosaline. "do you know any good cat books?" i laugh watching rosaline search frantically for a book.

"Hm... The Cat in the Hat?" I suggest, shrugging. "My dad was crazy about muggle stuff... first time I saw a wizarding picture book I had nightmares from the movement. So I can't suggest anything there."
I smile slightly, sympathetically. "And hey, he's a jerk... but at least you got her out of the deal." I nod to Rosaline.

i smile "yeah that was the best thing he could have ever given me. yes he is a jerk and a couple of other things too" i laugh slightly. "i always liked wizarding stories.the cat in the hat..... okay lets look for that, it might be here. rosaline! help mommy look for the cat in the hat." i told her and she smiled and ran off. "you know what i forgot she cant read" i laughed.

"Eh, you never know... she might find it by accident," I laugh. "If it's even here... they've got a small muggle section near the back, I think, for weirdos."

"Hm... you know, I just realized that I haven't introduced myself," I say, following her toward the back. It would be nice to find Cat in the Hat, or some of the other muggle books my dad used to read to me. "Andra Foster."
((Hey... if you went to Hogwarts, then my sister Ariel would've been in your year, I think, but a Ravenclaw, if you want to pretend you knew her. *shrug* You're twenty, right?))

"If you say so," I laugh, reaching the small corner where muggle paperbacks and such are shoved haphazardly onto shelves without regard for genre or author. "Ugh... no one has any appreciation for muggles around here," I say, kneeling down.
((Oh... well she's not a character anymore... I just thought you could recognize the name if you wanted 'cause sometimes that's fun.))

"well i lived in the muggle world but i never really knew anything about it.... never really cared too" i said laughing a little. "so are these the books? 'the three little pigs'" i say as i pull out random book. "who wants to read about pigs? oh and andra you said you're sister was 20 right? did she go to hogwarts?"

"Huh? Yeah, she did," I nod, looking up from some badly illustrated 'Western Romance Collection' paperbacks. "Ariel Foster-Richards, the crazy prankster Ravenclaw... and that's a pretty good story, I think. Has a moral or something." I glance around for Rosaline to ask if she likes pigs.

"are you kidding me? ariel foster is your sister? i remember he back in third through seventh year!" i grin. "we always got in trouble with filch playing pranks" i say as i laugh at the memory. "rosaline! come here sweetie!" i yell across the store. i see her run up out of breath "what mommy?" she said coming over to me and andra. "i found this book about pigs do you think you would like it?" i smile handing it to her. "pigs? no way!" she said and handed the book back to me and ran off. "can i please have kitty books?" she yelled behind her. "shes so picky" i mumble.

I laugh and shake my head. "Hey Rosaline, come and help me look," I call, digging through some more of the books. Then I look up at Annabell. "Wow... you knew Ariel? And you survived?" I shake my head. "Hey... you weren't the one who turned her to the dark side, were you?" I ask suspiciously.
((Have to go before I fall asleep on my keyboard... byes.))

"Sure you didn't," I say with a smile. "You were a total good girl."
Then I turn to Rosaline. "Miss Lady, am I? Well, do you want to help Miss Lady look for kitten books?"

"Hm," I say, not sure how else to respond to that. "Tsk, tsk... stealing cookies. What are you teaching your daughter?" I glance over at Rosaline, who's holding one of the Western Romances. "No no no... not that one," I say quickly, taking it away. "No kitties in that.... Look for big books."

"Tsk tsk," I say again. "Selling out for cookies... were they fudge?" I ask, as I unearth a dusty pile of old Life magazines.

"Oh, okay... you're forgiven then," I grin. "Ooh, hey... Rosaline... it's not a kitty book but I think it's pretty good..." I hold out a copy of Corduroy for her inspection.
