Carson nodded once in agreement whilst still smiling. "Maybe - if not, we still might have classes together," she added with a shrug before seeing a small piece of his smirk return to his lips; it suited him well, she had to admit. "Ah, well, it's very big and somewhat hard to maneuver at first, but you get used to it. It's also really crowded at times, which will be much different from home," she started with a nod, "But of course I'd be happy to show you around if you needed me to." Her smile returned once more.

Luna walked in. blond hair past her sholders and down her back. it was wavy. blue eyes you could drownd in and mostly a nice smile. she was worried about this whole school thing. being a muggleborn wasent going to well. so far she had met a few girls who told her she shouldent even be there. not wanting a fight she walked away.
She looked around at the dark robes wondering what she was doing then saw Ravenclaw ones and started to look at them. she wasent sure what she needed so she pulled out her list to see but she couldent find it in her bag at all. "oh no." she sighed.

Victoria nodded slowly at the girl before her.

"Yeah, first year as you can tell" she smiled "I'm Victoria, my friends call me Vicky...or Vic.You can call me whatever you want" she says speaking quickly and blushing in the process,as she always did when meeting someone new.

Rowan wanders into the shop, looking quite sullen. She hates shopping for clothes and would much rather spend her money on books, but rules are rules. She walks over to the displays and realizes that she probably can't get everything that she needs in this one shop. Ah well, she sighs, she will have to get what she can and look for the rest elsewhere. She looks through the robes and chooses 3 black plain work robes. Next she goes over and picks out a black winter cloak with silver fastener as specified on her list from Hogwarts. Finally, she decides on a plain black pointed hat and a charmable scarf in Ravenclaw. I wonder where I can find the rest of the clothing items on my list, Rowan thinks.

-----

After looking about more thoroughly Rowan finds the remainder of the clothing items she needs and heads for the counter.

Ethan again turned his full attention onto Carson as she spoke. Oh, did everyone have classes together, not just members of the same House? He really did have a lot to learn, but he supposed that he'd catch on fairly quickly, especially if he had a pretty tour guide to show him the ropes. Ethan nodded in understanding at the rest of her description of the school. "That would be fantastic," he replied with a charming grin.

Glancing at the robes in Carson's arms reminded Ethan that he, too, was here to get his school uniforms. "Are you done with your shopping? I still have to get my robes and that," he said, pursing his lips slightly. Clothes shopping was so not his thing. He pulled the list once more from his pocket, then looked back up at Carson. "So, what's the procedure for new students since they don't know what House they'll be in?" And therefore don't know which color to get. "Just basic black?" Of course, black did go with everything, or so he heard, but he didn't exactly want to stand out in his House - whatever it would be - when everyone else would be wearing their colors.

"Well okay Whatever You Want." Ainra smiled. "Well I hope to see you in Gryffindor house. You seem like you'd make a good housemate. You don't have to be so nervous by the way. No one here bites, well except that vampire but as I haven't met any of those..." She laughed a little. "Anyway I've gotta get going but I'm staying at the Leakey Cauldron until term starts so maybe we'll run into each other."

Enya pushed her way into the busy shop, she frantically looked around for a free spot to stand in and search for her new robes. Not caring if she pushed or bumped into anyone she made her way through the shop. With a few 'get out of the way's' and 'move's', until finally she stood in a partically good spot to admire the racks.

The hussle and bussle of the shop was reall bugging her, and more then once she felt someone bump into her. It took all her will power NOT to have a go at them - not the best thing to go. She continued to look around.

Robes..

Robes. Robes. Robes. Robes. They were probably the ugliest uniforms that had ever existed. Even worse than the Beauxbatons' blue outfits. But.. no matter how much she didn't like them, she needed them. Eh, it was a little crowded in the shop, and Ella wondered whether to come back later. Nah, no point. She pushed through the mass of people, then tripped on a set of robes that were hanging up.

*FALLLLLLLS*

BASH. Straight into someone else. Ohhhh, Merlin. How many people had she bumped into this year in Diagon Alley? Loads. "Ahh, I'm really sorry. I tripped on those robes." She pointed at the culprit.

She had been standing there eyeing robe after robe up and down..with no luck. They were just so ugly, she wanted a better colour for her robes.But she knew THAT wouldn't happen. Humming to herself she turned to yet another robe to look at.

While she stood there, gaging over the robe, she felt someone forcfully bump into her. This time she really was mad, couldn't people watch where there going!? Whipping round, her brown hair wisking her face and neck, and glared dangiously at the girl before her.

"Watch where your going" She shot at the girl, her hands were pulling iinto fist's at her side. She continued to glare at the girl. Enya didn't even pay the robes on the floor a second glance as she waited to hear what the girl would say next.

Carson shook her head. "Not quite yet. I still have to get a hat and a pair of gloves..." she said in answer to his question. Then she smiled at his next question and nodded. "Yes, black is what is usually recommended - you can always order another after you get sorted." Carson couldn't imagine how hard it had to be to enter into school so late into education and not know what to do.

Sebastien finally stepped foot into Madame Malkin's and glanced around. His conscience was getting to him now. He had never meant to insult her, but she was a bit too much at times. Hopefully a new set of robes would be enough to say he was sorry. He really didn't want to have to explain himself if it got out that he had been rude to a woman, especially since it was his own flesh and blood. Gifts were always a good thing, right? They had worked for him before and hopefully a gift would work this time.

Seeing a rack that looked to be like something she would wear, he headed over. Finding dress robes was never a talent he had, but he would have to learn apparently. There were so many kinds and he was never completely sure as to where to possible start and what was even in style. Maybe he should have just said sorry or maybe picked another shop.

" Robes... Hmmm.... Time to get some robes ", Eva said as she pushed the door into Madam Malkin robe shop. She could see rows and rows of robes and other stuff like cloaks, vest, cardigan, and so much more. She took out the list of stuff she had to get and quickly walk towards where the robes were. She needed three sets of plain black work robes and quickly grabbed it. She had so many things to buy and soon, she was off to somewhere else, making sure she bought everything that she needed in that shop.

Melanie slipped into the shop, intent on getting some new Hogwarts robes. She had grown a bit taller over the past few years, and her robes didn't exactly fall at the right length... Which really sucked, because Melanie would much rather spend the money her dad had given her on fancy quills or some candy than plain black school robes.

She did need them, though. A sullen look on her face, the girl drifted over to the area of the shop dedicated to the Hogwarts students looking for uniforms and started flipping through a rack of robes, looking for the right size.

Silently, she promised herself she'd go to Sugarplum's next.

Jessie opened the door to Madame Malkin's, looking around at the robes everywhere. She needed to get everything for her uniform, as it was her first year at Hogwarts. Making her way through the shop, she was very careful not to bump into anyone. She grabbed three sets of plain black robes, and picked up one more just in case. She then picked up her winter cloak as it said on her supply list. Looking around quickly, she grabbed everything else she needed and walked quickly over to the counter, ready to pay for her uniform items.

Lukas had managed to convince Klaudette that he did actually have to do some shopping and had dragged her into Madam Malkin's. He stepped through the doors into the vast boutique. He took his neatly folded list out of his jeans pocket and unfolded it.

"Okay, so I need black work robes, a black hat, a winter cloak, white shirts, grey sweaters, ties, a scarf, trousers and socks," he read off the list. "That should be," he paused, looking about the room, "over there?" he asked pointing towards what looked like a Hogwarts uniform display. He looked questioningly at Klaudette. "There?" he repeated.

The idea of a school uniform was nothing to new to Kurumi. She had always worn a school uniform in her muggle school back in Japan, but she felt a much stronger sense of pride as she held a black robe's sleeve in her dainty hands. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the list that her father had written the day before on what she needed. She found the proper size of black work robes and decided to head over to the ties next. Her violet eyes went ablaze as she picked up one of the red and gold Gryffindor ties on display - her long black hair began to turn a vibrant shade of yellow at the roots with excitement.

Ethan nodded slowly as he glanced at the tables laden with accessories. "Yeah, I still need to get those, too," he answered Carson. And maybe she'd want to shop together? He wasn't completely sure as he thought girls liked to shop in pairs or groups, but since they were getting along so well and they both needed the same thing... maybe it would make clothes shopping more pleasant for him. "Okay, black it is, then," he replied with a shrug as he looked through a rack of robes that appeared to be about his size. It seemed somewhat redundant to him to have to buy generic black robes now, then House colored robes later, but it seemed to be the custom and he didn't see any way around it.

As the fifteen year old pulled one robe from the rack and held it up to himself to estimate its size, he noticed out of the corner of his eye a movement. Turning slightly, he noticed yet another pretty girl about his age also looking for school robes. And also wearing the same reluctant expression that he had - before he started talking to Carson. She didn't look like she liked clothes shopping any more than he did.

"Yeah, not my favorite either," he told the newcomer with a slight smirk and a small chuckle. If it wasn't for the company, he'd be miserable in this store. Glancing back at Carson, he looked at her expectantly to see if she was ready to finish their shopping.

Carson chuckled and stood by while he browsed through a rack of robes. Realizing how general she had sounded, she added, "Black robes are used for school, but if your thinking of buying dress robes any color is fine." She smiled and then looked over as he commented to a girl shopping near them. Ahh, people who didn't like shopping. >.<

Klaudette clapped walking into the robe shop. She had come here last year for robes, but it was very short and quick and now she had time to browse and pick out some nice new looks. Cupcake would be jealous.

As they walked in, Lukas was very encouraging that he must actually get something at this shop that he could keep for more then twenty minutes. She had taken him to ice cream, like a good tourist would do, and the orange joke shop. She had already used one of those on him.

As he started listing the things he needed, all Klaudette could see were the robes and pay attention to that. When he finally pointed to where he wanted to go, she looked and exclaimed. "Loook Lukassss! Clothessss!" And once again dragged him over.

"Now let's see. Black is definitely yours, and everybody else's color." she said searching through the first rack, "so here, take this," she stated and began pulling off robes. "and this, and this, probably this, not that, and one of these." This was so much fun.

Alexies entered Malkin's Robes door and was fascinated to see so many variety of Robes..
She quickly selected all the things zooming in hermind several days for now and headed to the counter...

Adam saw a young girl, with a vibrant personality looking over at the ties.He excused himself and went over to her. Her beauty striking dazing him as he walked to her side. She too, seemed to be on her own..."Hi." Adam said shyly to her. Should he introduce himself, or wait for her first."Adam Burn , I am." He said , he shook his head in embarressment

K-Lee wandered the store, supply list in hand. She walked to the school clothing section and grabbed 3 of the plainblack robes in her size. She also grabbed a plain pointed hat. She searched the racks for the rest of her supplies, finding 2 winter cloaks, 4 blouses and 2 sweaters. She also picked up 2 cardigans, 4 charmable ties in her Slytherin colours and a charmable Slytherin winter scarf.

She stared at her list for a moment longer, grabbing 3 pairs of white knee socks.

"Only a few things left to buy." She muttered to herself as she gazed over the sheet again. She only needed protective gloves so after finding some dragon-hide gloves, headed towards the counter.

Kurumi, who had been totally engrossed at looking at the tie she held, nearly knocked over the stack of ties when she heard his voice.

Gaining her composure a bit, she raised her violet eyes to look at Adam standing before her and felt herself blush a little.

"Hi..." she replied bowing slightly and playing with her long black pony-tail. "I'm Kurumi."

Ending things just like that seemed too awkward...but she had no idea how to talk to someone from this world.

"Um...are you a first year too?" she asked lamely.

"Yes. All on my own in this place also. Nice to meet you Kurumi. So, do you know what you are. I'm Muggleborn- have no clue how I ended up here, in this different world."Adam told her. He stood on his feet, swaying backwards and forwards."You like ties?" What type of question was that? That was like asking if you like Spinach- something very few people like...

Kurumi giggled. "Well...I am not against ties or anything like that...." She decided that this would be a good time to put the tie down. "I'm half...." her words stopped there. All her life she had been teased for being half-Japanese and half-British by the kids around her. Would this boy tease her too for being half-Muggle half-pure blood?

"...uh...what I mean to say is...well..." she fumbled around her words and her heart began to race. She took one deep breath before she spoke.

"I'mhalfmuggleandmyfatherisawizard."
