Harry was so excited as he read off every book and every item. Lilith and severus shared a proud look as Aria walked off already bored to get a snack.

"Mama I can't reach the cookie jar!" Aria demanded.

"For good reason." Severus agreed but he went to help her fetch a cookie all the same.

"I feel like that one is directed at you mum." Harry remarked.

"You need a broom, thats just a stupid rule." Lilith countered.

"Owl, cat or toad..." harry remarked looking at their pets. "Well we have three owls." Aria marched back into the room with a cookie in her mouth.

"What?" Aria demanded.

"Mouse or Pip?" Harry questioned.

"They are mine." Aria corrected.

"You have Ser Pounce." Harry corrected nodding to her black cat purring between her legs as they spoke.

"No, you can't have my owls. Ser Pounce loves them." Aria corrected.

"But I'm going to school-"

"We always go to school." Aria corrected. "Besides you know that they are too little to be carrier owls."

"We have a cat and three owls. I want a pet. I'm allowed a pet Aria." Harry corrected.

"HOotie is mama's owl." Aria corrected. "Besides you can get a new one. You know mum and dad will get you one."

"And if I want the one that we already have?" Harry countered. Aria rooted little hands on little hips.

"Too bad, I'm in charge." Aria corrected.
