By now, I guess, I seem to be moving a little too fast. I'll try and clear this up. The days are merely as numbers in this journal. The events takes place over a period of time, so I'll mention when it's been three days, two days, etc. Day One, Part Two, etc means that the events took place in the space (no pun intended) of a single day. So, I hope you enjoy reading this! :) Please, rate and review as well. The button is at the bottom, and it's only a small click. I would really like to hear from you about my writing! IN FACT, I PREFER REVIEWS RATHER THAN RATINGS, SO PLEASE R&R!!! Okay, I'll shut up now. :)
PS: THANKS MARAUDERBABE FOR THE PW IDEA!

"You know," she said, after I had told her what I was willing to offer, "That doesn't sound bad at all. But how do I know you'll keep your end of the bargain?" she asked.
I sighed, making sure that she could hear me. "Look, when I make promises, I keep them, your brother nonwithstanding. I've gotten the details from Dumbledore, and there's a high chance you can get the job. None of the other candidates has even come close to the level of expertise you have. Besides, I know that you want the job. I'm just giving you a little extra incentive," I told her.
I could practically hear her thinking from my side. She was making this 'hmmm...' noises that meant that she had made up her mind, but she was going to keep me in suspense for a little longer. I decided that since I was paying for the phone bill, I might as well get her to move herself faster.
"Look, Sapplefuss. I know you want to go and you've already made your mind up to go. I'll pay for your airfare and that mag subscription for one year. What more can you ask?" I was telling her when something hit my mind. I knew that if anything would get ehr to agree quickly, it was that!
"How about that four issues of Playwitch that you missed? You know, the one with You-know-who in it?" I was grinning maliciously.
"I don't think you'd be able to get those issues. How did you know anyway?" she asked me in a deceptively mild tone.
"I can't tell you or I'll get fired. Besides, I was looking for something in Google! and I came across your post asking for those issues," I explained.
"How are you going to give me 0those mags without anyone noticing?" she aske me.
"So you'll go?" I said.
"When you give me those mags," she said flatly.
"Not before," I said.
Well, we argued like that for about a few minutes before she grudgingly agreed. ^_^ Then I proceeded to give her details of how and when she was going to get there. Looking at the time, I realized that it was alread 3am in the morning and I might as well get some sleep if I was going to get those mags. This was going to be one loooong week.
Part Two
The sweltering heat of Petaling Street really got to me as I trampled around, looking for a certain shop. There was no guarantee that it was still here. It had been five years since I last visited this shop, even though I had passed here quite often when I was in a high school in this area.
"Magical Items are found where one is least likely to find it. They must be out in the open," I remember hearing one of my teachers saying when he took me here for the first time to find the shop of the man.
"Woi, Cik adik, cari ubat pengasih ke?" a man said rudely to me. He was asking whether I was looking for a love potion.
"Kalau ye pun, siapa nak buat dengan awak?!" I said to him in my worst fishmarket's wife voice.
"Janganla macam itu," he asked me not to be so haughty, before inviting me to see a few of his exotic stuff he kept in his shop. I followed him in.
"So," he said in a normal voice once we were away from the crowd, "What does the Shikigami MIstress wants?" he said.
"I need four, specific issues of Playwitch. I know you keep at least five copies of each issue, so you can perfectly spare me one each," I said to him in a brusque manner.
"Four? Is the cover model for all of them the same?" he asked me. I nodded.
"I think I know who you mean. He's one of the most handsome men in the wizarding world, although JK Rowling cast him as an uglie. Personally," he said as he went through a stack of mags, "I think he's one heck of a hottie," he said, grinning at me.
"So you are gay," I said.
"Not really. I'm a bi. Isn't one of your girls one too?" he asked me, dusting off a mag.
"I made it clear to them. What they do during their free time is their own. I'm not going to judge them on their sexual preferences," I told him.
"How many of them hit on you?" he asked me slyly.
I sighed. "Five. And three were real les," I told him. "The least they could have done was to be original. I know that women are more senstive then men to their partners but they didn't have to tell me that!" I said, blushing, but half in anger too.
Note: I'm not against lesbians. Take this all in the spirit of fun. I'm only 18 FGS!
"Ah, here they are. What, you're not going to look?" he asked me as I shook my head.
"Call me weird, but I have this thing about looking at other's prop when I've promised it to them. I won't look unless they let me," I said.
"And I thought getting into this business is weird," he said.
"Usual people paying?" he asked.
"Yup. Thank," I accepted the bundle from him.
"Whoever that guy is, I hope he likes the pics!" he said as I left the shop.
"It's a girl!" I shouted back.
