Algamus was being his important elf self today. All elfs has busy elf business in Diagon Alley, but Algamus has the very extremely most important and busy elf business, because not only did Algamus has shopping to do for Hogwarts, but as head elf Algamus also has the important job of telling all the other elfs what shopping they has to do, and he enjoyed to do that very much, he did.

Algamus picked the things to buy that were the most needed to be careful with, the things that he did not trust any of the other elves to be as most careful with as he! Inks needed careful elfs because inks had glass bottles and inkwells that might break, and inks were messy and if ink bottles broke then ink bottles made messes, and Algamus did not ever break things or make messes, that was why he was the head elf for a very long time and now that Hogwarts had only elves and not a human caretaker, elf jobs were more and Algamus was even more head elfy than he had ever been before!

It was inks for professors, and new inkwells for professors, and quills for professors, and many parchments for professors and all on the rolled-up list that Algie brandished in front of him like a scepter as he popped into sight in the center of the store, big elfy eyes gleaming. Algamus would shop now!
