Finn giggled when Susan jumped, and he had to hold on tight to the little toad he had in his hand so he wouldn't run away. He recognized her from the school they both attended, but he didn't know her all that well. He especially hadn't known that she knew about witches and wizards...but obviously she must if she was in Diagon Alley. Finn was here with his sister Zoe. Or, at least, he had been with her before she got boring and went to look at clothes. He was tired of having only sisters. Why couldn't he hang out with his dad more often and actually do manly things? He didn't care if he was only nine, he HATED clothes shopping! So...he ditched his older sister and went off exploring. Luckily, his adventure was worth it. He had already found a friend.
"Hi, Susan. It is Susan, right? Or maybe you're her sister, I can't remember the name. Anyway... Sorry I scared you. I really just wanted to say hi. And to show you Wilberforce. Do you like him? He's my toad. Or, he will be once I get my sister to buy him for me. Do you have any pets?"
He giggled again as Wilber started trying to hop out of his hand again. He watched with shining eyes as a worker gently took Wilber from him and placed him in a container for safe-keeping. The man said he would keep him safe until Finn was ready to purchase the toad. Finn was fine with that, as long as Wilber didn't get mixed up with any other toad. He already felt a connection to him. He sighed and turned back to Susan.
"I sure do hope Zoe buys him for me. I think I'd miss him if he ever went away."
