Flourish & Blotts

[ashsun]

Flourish & Blotts the sign says it has books stacked high in the windows and the sign on the door says open. You step in see piles of books that could only be held up by magic. And of course they are! It has the smallest books that require tweezers just to turn the page from books so thick you can't carry it with out your wand. So please have fun and pick any book you like.

((Please do not play shop owners admin will be responsible for that Thank you))

Bellz and Mary-Kate walked in, needing new books. They began to browse before going to the shopKeeper,
"Hello, we need some new books" They said together

[JadieLou]

Harrietta smiled as the two girls came up and asked for books.
"What sort of books dearies?" she asked, smiling happily at the girls. "School books?"

[tinkerbell123]

"Yes please, we are in our 4th year" They said together

[JadieLou]

These girls were most obviously twins. They kept talking together. "Fourth Year. Well, well, well. What do we have here?" she said, a large smile on her face. She turned around and grabbed a stack of books off the shelf then turned and took an identical stack and placed it down beside the other. "There you are girls," she said happily. "Would that be all?" she asked. Maybe they would want something just to read.

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

Ceallach walked into the bookstore, her eyes wide, and bright. She walked through the aisles, running her fingers over the spines of the many books on the shelves. She loved books. Absolutely adored them. She used to spend hours reading and re-reading the books in her library at home. Just sit on the floor, surrounded by piles and piles of books, reading until she was told to go to bed. It was the way she passed the time. She reached a section that was particularly close to her heart. Irish Folklore. She pulled a particularly heavy looking book out and sat on the chair beside the bookcase, and opened it on her legs. She flicked through the glossy pages, looking more at the pictures than the words at that moment. But she had to close the book quickly. She was going to cry. She missed home. While England and Scotland were beautiful. Nothing compared to her home. With it's rolling hills, and her massive yard. She sighed, stood up and put the book back on the shelf. Then she continued with her browsing, running her fingers softly over the spine like she was looking for something, while she was just revelling in the feel of the leather beneath her fingers.

[Aidan Fischer]

Aidan led the way into Flourish and Blotts, pulling out his list of textbooks as he went. The twins looked around at the huge stacks of books everywhere. It was going to take all day to find the books they needed on their own.

"I'll find an assistant," Zach said, and began to work his way towards the main counter, leaving Aidan to keep looking around, trying to spot anyone who might be another Hogwarts student.

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

Ceallach sighed, continuing to look at the books. She was starting to miss her library at home. She was starting to miss home altogether. Except her parents. They were the only part of Ireland she didn't miss. She sighed, pulling out another book from the shelf. She looked at it and frowned. Ministers of Magic Through the Years she read inwardly. Great one to chose Ceallach She groaned and put it back. Moving down the shelves, continuing the same way she had been, her fingers running over the spines. BNooks were her weakness. She loved them. And she got all nerdy.

[Aidan Fischer]

Browsing randomly along the shelves, Aidan spotted a dark-haired girl, about his own age, running her fingers along the spines of the books. He grinned to himself, and went to stand beside her. "Hi," he said. "Would you be a Hogwarts student, by any chance? I'm a new transfer, and I'm trying to find the textbooks I need for next term. Do you know where to find 'The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 6'?"

Ceallach looked around as someone spoke to her. She smiled, seeing he was about her age. She laughed.
"Yes I am. Sixth Year Gryffindor. I'm a transfer too," she said in her rather seductive Irish brogue. She reached behind her, pulling a book off the shelf and handing it too him. "'Standard Book of Spells, Grade 6' I believe you asked for." she smiled. "I know the bookstore like the back of my hand now. I'm bored. Where did you transfer from?" she asked curiously. He looked Durmstrang to her. Or something out there.

[Aidan Fischer]

"Yes, that's the one," Aidan said, taking the book from her with a smile. "I'm a sixth year too - I'll be in Ravenclaw. Where did you transfer from? I was at Durmstrang, but you can't have been there, because I'm sure I'd remember you. Oh, my name's Aidan Fischer, and I hope you don't mind me mentioning it, but you have a wonderful accent." Over her shoulder, he could see Zach returning alone. Looking back at the girl, he went on, "If you're not busy, maybe you could help us with the rest of the books - it appears my brother couldn't find an assistant."

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

Ceallach smiled. "I was at a small private school for witchcraft and wizardry in Ireland. Durmstrang. Nice," she said, still smiling. Well, it was sort of mixed with a smirk, but more smile, lighting up her face. "I'm Ceallach o Raghallaigh. And thank you," she said, very conscious of the way her accent deepened as she said her name. "Oh, It'd be a pleasure to help. The assistants around here are old, and I think they might be past their prime. Not very good service," she said, not bothering to lower her voice.

[Aidan Fischer]

"Ah, Ireland - that explains it. Durmstrang is quite an experience - cold, remote, and really not much fun. But my Father was based in Europe, so it just made sense for us to go there. I'm looking forward to Hogwarts though - from what I hear it's a lot more fun to go to. Ah, here's my brother - Ceallach, this is my brother Zach."

"Ceallach? Pleased to meet you," Zach said, mirroring his twin's dazzling smile. "Did I hear you say you could help us? We'd really appreciate it, all the assistants seem to be on a break - well, except for the one trying to stack a new set of books about the magical properties of helium, and as they all keep floating up to the ceiling, I think he's going to be a while!"

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

Ceallach smiled. "Fair enough. Fun is the word. I didn't go to any classes, though. I was only there for a few days. But, the people are nice," she said, smiling playfully. "It's lovely to meet you Zach. Yes, I'll help. Service around here needs to be stepped up. But then again, I'm used to being waited on 24 hours a day, so not being able to get help is new to me." she laughed, not entirely joking, and started to walk down the aisles. "What subjects are you doing?" she asked, curiously. That would tell her what books they needed. They seemed like nice enough boys. Could be fun!

[Aidan Fischer]

Zach and Aidan exchanged glances and grinned. They hadn't even started at Hogwarts yet, and already they were meeting the girls. As they followed Ceallach down the aisles, Zach said, "We're both taking Charms and Transfiguration, DADA, Astronomy..." at this point the twins looked at each other again and grimaced. "What else... Herbology - which actually we hate, but our parents think it's useful knowledge - and Ancient Runes. I take Potions, and Aidan takes Arithmancy." Zach grinned. "And we both play Quidditch, of course."
