Flourish and Blotts April 2011

Jacob entered the bookstore, looking around as he slipped between the crowds of older kids. This was one of the biggest bookshops he's seen! Books were everywhere- piled on tables, crammed into every inch of the shelves and scattered on the floor! Heading over to the Beginner area of books, he looked at the various subjects. Finally choosing Ancient Runes, Potions, Muggle Studies and Charms, the eleven year old paid and left, hoping he'll figure out which House Pierre was in.

Alex has always been rather fond of reading, so Flourish and Blotts was a place she had been looking forward to going into. She pulled out her letter to see what classes she had decided on taking and realized that she probably should have toned it down, but she had been too excited.

She stepped toward the shopkeeper hesitantly, knowing she wouldn't be an easy costumer. "Hi, may I have the following books, please?

Ancient Runes for Beginners
Astronomy for Beginners
Care of Magical Creatures for Beginners
Charms for Beginners
Defense for Beginners
Divination/Arithmacy for Beginners
Herbology for Beginners
History for Beginners
Potions for Beginners
Transfiguration for Beginners

As well has a dozen sheets of parchment, 2 Quills, and the following ink wells.. silver, dark green, dark blue, light purple and black."

She sighed as she waited for the shopkeeper to gather all the necessary items, she knew he wouldn't like her. "Thank you, sir." She placed the money on the counter and was just happy her parents had given her the bag that made everything feel weightless.

Riley sighed as she entered the bookshop, the dry parchment and paper smell enveloped her. She clutched her list and money in her pocket and smiled at the person waiting for a customer. She was surprised that there wasn't more people in the shop as she flattened said list. She had decided not to take too many classes until later year. She would take Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, and Defence against the Dark Arts. Also, in a act of young rebellion she had decided to take Muggle Studies as well. She grinned and read out her list, "Hello, I need Potions for beginners, Transfiguration for beginners, Charms for beginners, Defence Against the Dart Arts for beginners and Muggle Studies for beginners. Also two quills, parchment and two bottles each of red and black ink."

She looked at the shopkeeper before adding a little late, "Please?" She pulled out the right sum of money and placed it on the counter shuffling from foot to foot as she took her books. They were not too heavy, and she quickly found her mother browsing the reading and fiction bookshelves. She handed her book to her, where they were placed into an expandable bag. She looked up and down the shop, before deciding that she did not want anything else.

Marcus sighed as he entered the book store. Liz loved this place, but he honestly couldn't stand it. He wanted to get in, grab what he needed, get out. And so he did. He snatched the Beginner's Guides to Charms, Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, and Divination, some regular ink, some parchment and 2 quills. Quickly after paying, he darted outside, breathing in the sunshine-y air. Thank God he didn't have to do this every day.

Zuko entered, the list he had made a random girl outside write for him in hand. Looking around the bookstore, he wandered around, looking at the books curiously. No How to Speak English books. Sighing, he decided it was typical for an English speaking country. Making his way up to an unoccupied clerk, Zuko gave him the list-
-Potions, Transfiguration and Charms for Beginners
-One quill
-Two bottles of red ink
-Parchement.

Paying for his things, Zuko quickly left, the smell of molding paper starting to get to him.

Kutoutuo casually walked into the store before picking out the books that he needed.

Charms for Beginners (1-3)
Defense for Beginners (1-3)
History for Beginners (1-3)
Potions for Beginners (1-3)
Transfiguration for Beginners (1-3)

With the books secured, he headed to the counter before asking for one quill, one bottle of black ink, and parchment. Taking the needed amount of currency, Kutoutuo paid for his purchases before leaving.
