[BEING GRADUALLY REWRITTEN INTO THIRD PERSON]
"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance"
- Aristotle
What if this inward significance was being able to create a piece moments before it happen...
Quickly I ran down the stairs intrigued by the idea of a surprise. Remus and Sirius following behind me. When I got downstairs my dad motioned me to sit by the counter which I did
"Ophelia I know the last few weeks have been tough and I know you've wanted to be by yourself most of it"
I sheepishly nod
"We didn't want to leave you by yourself but we respected your choices this is why we teamed up to get you this"
He leaves from opposite the counter and into the supply room. When he returns he is carrying something in his arms
When I see it I gasp
A small puppy is situated in his arms. It has multiple colours on its fur. Overall he is white with brown, grey and black marks. His eyes are an ice blue with a black button nose

"This is an Australian Shepherd dog" My father says "It's a boy puppy"
"He's beautiful" I cry tears slowly streaming down my face "Can I hold him?"
"Of course"
The dog is handed to me. I softly cry as I hug it close. The puppy licks my face whilst it tail wags
"Thank you" I choke out whilst holding him close
"I'll take you to the pet shop later to get some supplies but for now just play with him" I guess
I got up giving all the boys a side hug before carefully running into my room. When I get in there I sit on the bed placing the puppy on the covers
"Have you got a name?" I ask
The dog just looks at me to say no. I ponder in my head on names
"How about...Finn?"
He shakes his head with a little growl
"Umm...Ash?"
This time he just shakes his head. I can tell he doesn't mind the name but wants something different. Randomly I just said different names. I sat their looking into his blue eyes. My mind was blank
"Orion" I just said out of the blue
He started wagging his tail playfully. Rolling around the bed
"Orion it is then" I laugh
For the next hour I just played around with Orion he was small but still really playful. At the same time however he was very careful with how ruff he played
