Ron Weasley: "It's my rat. He's been a bit off-colour ever since I brought him back from Egypt."
Saleswoman: "Bang him on the counter. Hm. How old is this rat?"
Ron Weasley: "Dunno. Quite old. He used to belong to my brother."
Saleswoman: "What powers does he have?"
Ron Weasley: "Er –"
Saleswoman: "He's been through the mill, this one."
Ron Weasley: "He was like that when Percy gave him to me."
Saleswoman: "An ordinary, common or garden rat like this can't be expected to live longer than three years or so. Now, if you were looking for something a bit more hard-wearing, you might like one of these ..."
Ron Weasley: "Show-offs."
Saleswoman: "Well, if you don't want a replacement, you can try this Rat Tonic."
Ron Weasley: "OK. How much – OUCH!"
Saleswoman: "NO, Crookshanks, NO!"

This saleswoman was a British witch and the proprietor of Magical Menagerie, which was one of two major pet shops in Diagon Alley.[1]

Biography[]

In 1991, she was willing to give Harry Potter some warts from a Giant Purple Toad if he could catch it.[2] In 1992, she was absent, possibly on vacation, and a man had to do her job.[3] She advised a customer on how to take care of a double-ended newt, sold Ron Weasley a bottle of rat tonic for Scabbers during the summer of 1993, and sold Crookshanks to Hermione Granger at that time as well.[1]
