Black did not slow down.
He headed straight for Eeylops Owl Emporium.
After entering the shop,
the clerk eagerly came forward to introduce the various owls to Black.
After all, any family that could afford a House-elf
was an ancient wizarding family!
They were wealthy, big-spending customers!
Black listened to the introductions.
None of them caught his fancy...
Then, he suddenly spotted an owl crouching in a corner.
His eyes lit up!
"I'll take that one!"
There was no other reason, simply because...
that owl was fucking huge!
It stood a full seventy or eighty centimeters tall while crouching there!
Black had his own principles.
Plants had to be fierce and dangerous.
The same went for Fantastic Beasts.
The more vicious and bigger they were, the better!
Of course, if they were not vicious enough,
then they had to be useful!
Just like a Niffler!
That was why this owl truly suited his tastes!
"But..." The clerk looked troubled.
"What's wrong? I can afford it." Black asked in confusion.
"No... I mean, this Eagle Owl hasn't been fully trained yet."
"It's still very wild."
"It's been here for many days. It's not like no customers have taken a liking to it."
"But it simply refuses to go with them."
"If it gets provoked, it even attacks people."
Black smiled as he looked at the Eagle Owl.
The more he looked, the more he liked it.
"Whoo..."
The Eagle Owl turned its head and glanced at Black.
Then it turned its head away again.
"Ha, quite the personality!"
This was truly the first time Black had encountered
a Fantastic Beast that was indifferent to his Arch-Druid aura.
"You see..." The clerk forced a smile.
"How about buying a Snowy Owl instead? They're dependable and beautiful too!"
"No, I want this one."
