Flourish and Blotts
Flourish and Blotts
They paid for the wands and left the store. They walked across the street to Flourish and Blotts. They walked into the store and noticed that there were only a couple witches and wizards. One of them in a navy vest, black slacks, and tie turned his head and noticed them. He smiled as he walked over to them. "Hey Dean. How are you?" Harry exclaimed. "I'm fine. How are you guys?" the man replied. "Great. Still drawing?" Ron answered. "Yes. I am trying to get enough money to open my own magical art shop. So are you guys buying new schoolbooks? Can I help you with anything?" Dean said with a chuckle. "Yes actually we need six sets of Hogwarts first year school books." Alicia replied. "Oh starting at Hogwarts are we?" Dean said looking at the kids. "Well right this way then" Dean led them past a couple isles and down the fifth one they past. He turned right and smiled. "Here are the Hogwarts first year books. They are in alphabetical order by the author's last name. So when you have got them all together then just bring them up to the front counter and you can pay for them." Dean explained as he smiled and left. "Hmm. let's see." Oliver stared as he unfolded Adwen's supply list, "We'll need The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1) by Miranda Goshawk, A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot, Magical Theory by Adalbert Waffling, A Beginners' Guide to Transfiguration by Emeric Switch, One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spore, Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander, and The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection by Quentin Trimble."
Elijah, Luka, Lilly, Adwen, Kiran, and Rhea each grabbed a copy of every book on the list. They took the books up to the counter but then Kiran asked if they could look at a couple other books. She was eyeing the quidditch section of the store. Her dad nodded and the kids rushed over to different sections of the store. Kiran, Rhea, and Adwen went to the quidditch section, Lilly went back to the Hogwarts section, and Luka and Elijah went to the curse section. After about ten minutes the kids came back to the counter each carrying a book. Rhea was carrying "Quidditch Through the Ages" while Kiran had "Flying With the Cannons". Lilly had "Hogwarts, A History" clasped in her arms and Adwen couldn't find a quidditch book that she liked so she got "Saucy Tricks for Tricky Sorts". Luka had found a copy of Curses and Counter curses (Bewitch your Friends and Befuddle Your Enemies with the Latest Revenges: Hair Loss, Jelly-Legs, Tongue-Tying and Much, Much More) while Elijah was carrying Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed. They paid for all their books, gathered up the bags and left the store. It was already 11:20. They had ten minutes to get to the Magical Menagerie. They walked quite fast down the street. With not a minute to spare they reached the shop. The other group was waiting for them by the door. "Hey look who we found!" Harry exclaimed. "Oliver old chap! How are you?" Fred said as he shook Oliver's hand. "It seems like it was just yesterday that you were waking us up at 5:00 in the morning for quidditch practice." George added while giving Oliver a friendly pat on the back. "Well I have been fine. Just taking Adwen here school supplies shopping." Oliver replied. "Your daughter?" Hermione asked. "My stepdaughter actually. After my divorce I met Alana during a quidditch game. She was on the opposing team. I fell in love and married her." Oliver answered. "Oh. So you're playing professional quidditch? What team are you on?" Hermione asked. "The Kenmare Kestrels. Alana plays for the Holyhead Harpies." Oliver replied. "Oh cool. I assume you still play keeper. What position does Alana play?" Bill asked. "Alana is a beater. During the game she nearly knocked me off my broom by hitting a bludger at me." Oliver explained. "Aw. Just the most romantic thing. She nearly kills him and they get married. How sweet!" Fred said laughing. They all went inside the Magical Menagerie. The walls were full of animal cages and various different animals. There were cats, some that could change colours, owls, rats that were playing games and jumping rope with their tails, three turtles with jewel encrusted shells, talking toads, and more. The kids looked around with excitement. They all browsed around the store looking at the different animals. Kiran asked her dad if she could get an animal since she wasn't allowed to bring Fluffy. Kiran picked out a colour-changing cat. Rhea went over to the owls and picked out a beautiful northern hawk owl while Aileen got a spotted leopard Bengal cat because her owl had died last year. Lilly already had an owl that she was bringing to Hogwarts but James who had his mouse eaten by Lilly's owl, got a tawny owl. Adwen got a pygmy owl while Elijah and Luka each got a magical satin pure white mouse. The rest of the kids all had animals that were still alive. They paid for their animals along with food and homes for their new pets, and then left the store.
