| | Madame Malkins Robes for All Occasions Need a new set of school robes? Dress robes? Accessories? Something else? Madame Malkins has what you need. | |

The main room of Madame Malkin's can quite easily be the most daunting prospect to a customer. Many racks of robes are arranged in a somewhat organized fashion, creating informal aisles leading around the shop, and interspersed among the racks are tables that hold hats, scarves and gloves. Upon exploration, however, you'll find that everything is essentially separated into categories. All of the Hogwarts items are in one area, and everything gets more expensive as it extends back toward the back wall of the shop. There is also a display on one wall, to the left of the main room, of pet collars and such.
Feel free to browse the merchandise, and the shopkeeper and shopkeeper assistant are available if help is needed. OOC: FYI, shoes are not sold in this shop. I see a lot of people talking about full outfits and such involving shoes, but if you look here, you'll notice shoes are not included. |

"...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." "Uhmm, that's good to know." Adam smiled, hanging onto every word that rushed out, barely getting them all in."So, have you always known you'd be coming here? I had no clue- like I said earlier."Adam said. Since he was all new to this, he was ready to learn and experiance everything he could. To take it all in, because he may never have a second chance. "I guess, then I'm full Muggleborn... Both Parents didn't like much that I was going to learn magic, but hey, I'm still going to the school all the same, right?" He said clapping his hands together

"I actually just found out I was coming here a few weeks ago when I got my letter. I had no idea I was a witch...my father kept it a secret from me because...well...let's just say that people who look like me stand out...too much..."
She looked down at her feet.

She looked down at her feet. Adam was confused. She seemed shy to talk about who she was. But, with his caring nature, he would surely get it out of her."Stand out? Girl, I stand out- look I'm wearing Tomato RED HAIR. I stand out in a crowd." He said, pointing at his swishy red hair, making himself laugh."Well, I had NO ABSOLUTE idea that I was a Wizard. SO I guess that puts both of us on the same line..."

"Well...I like your red hair." she said shyly.
She took one more look at Adam's face before she decided to continue.
"The thing is...I'm not just half blood...but I am also half-Japanese. My father is British and my mother is Japanese. Growing up...I was always teased for, well, being different looking. Maybe you have heard the expression, "he nail that sticks out gets hammered down"? Well, in my town I was the nail."
She smiled meekly. While her face may not have shown it, she was really happy to be able to talk with someone other than her family about this.

"Never heard of that saying, but I think I understand it. The one who stands out from the rest HAS to be put back to where they belong, with their own people..." Adam said, honestly, guessing the saying."Japanese have cool hair, so there's some brownie points right? I'm sorry to hear you were the nail- I hope that can change once we get into Hogwarts...?" He asked her, smiling, once again

Her attention was then brought back to the ties. Now...how to ask what House he was in without sounding like a total dork...
"So...what color tie are you thinking of getting?'
*face palm* Yes, that sounded fabulous.

"Really?!" she almost shouted. "Er...I mean....oh, really? I am getting one of those as well. My father was very excited when he heard I was in Gryffindor."
She smiled and picked up a tie.
"The only thing I know about Slytherin is that it another one of the houses...now, are they the blue ties or the yellow ties?"
Kurumi giggled. It almost seemed like destiny that two people who knew almost nothing about this world, other than they were a part of it, had met while looking at ties.

"I think they are green actually. Some kid was running outside yelling Slytherin's are awesome, with a green robe in his hand." Adam suggested. Weird, he thought, he knew nothing about this world but Kurumi was teaching him all about it, while still getting to know him. Though, that was because he was trying to entertain her as she picked out her tie, with much thought

Adding the tie to her pile of things, she checked her list for other things she may need. The only thing left were dress robes, but could she really ask for him to wait for her to pick those out as well?

Adam stood quietly as Kurumi looked down a list. He wondered, being all done with his things, if he should wait for her, like a gentlemen, or leave with a nice goodbye and "see you later" type of thing. He stood there, awkwardly swaying again, everytime he got nervous.

While she had only known him for no more than 20 minutes, she already took this to be a sign that he was feeling nervous.
"So...I just have one more thing to buy: dress robes," she said in a very matter of fact tone. "This may take a little while..."

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. WOAH.
This girl looked like she was ready to swing a punch in Ella's direction. That was just rude. "It's not like I tripped on purpose!" She shouted, her tone getting more angry by the second. With idiots like this around, it was going to be very difficult to put on this 'being nice' attitude that she was trying out.
"Like I said, I am very sorry. So, just get over it." Now THAT was a decent apology. Pshhh, yeah right. Ella briefly rolled her eyes at herself. No doubt this girl would take that the wrong way as well.

She grabbed 3 vests and skirts,then she also grabbed her stockings and went to pay at the counter. This is gonna be awesome.

She hated people shouting at her. It was just damn right RUDE! Enya glared at the girl before her, tempted to hit her, but she didn't. One thing she didn't do was hit people. Her parents at least taught her something. For once. She could feel her tone, her anger getting hotter, louder. Enya took a step forward. "Excuse me!?" She asked glaring still. "No need to shout" which was added, in a more irritating voice then before. "I heard you the first time, but it's hard to 'get over it' when you shout it in my face" She almost shouted into the older girl's face, before her. Enya took another step forward so they didn't need to shout. She HATED scene's, unless they showed her nicely. This one wouldn't. "Whats your name?" She demanded.

That happened to everyone, but there was no need to take it out on everyone else. Sheesh.
"Don't get angry about me shouting if you're doing the exactly same thing." She growled. Ella knew about anger issues, and this girl definitely had them. She just knew about these sort of things. She automatically took a step back when the girl stepped forwards. MERLIN, Ella thought she was gonna attack her! Now she wanted her name?! After all that rudeness??? Pshhhhhhh.
"My name is Ella..." She said with an eyebrow raised. Perhaps it was sudden kindness. "What's yours?" She said lazily. Ella really didn't care what this girls name was.

Jainie walked in the front door of Madam Malkins. After standing in the street staring at the sign for a while, she'd decided that getting robes was probably a good place to start. Now, though, she wasn't sure. There were so many robes and things here, everywhere, she had no idea where to start. She stood there stupidly for a second, debating whether to leave or not. Deciding not, she moved away from the door to a nearby display, where she wouldn't be in anyone's way (she hoped), and discreetly surveyed the room around her to get her bearings.

"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. Quote:

She smiled and then looked over as he commented to a girl shopping near them. Ahh, people who didn't like shopping. >.< Melanie looked up abruptly when he spoke, a little startled. Really, she probably should have expected someone else to come along... It was the time to shop for school necessities, after all. "I would just rather spend money on other things...Is it that obvious?" she asked, the corners of her lips lifting up into a smile as she looked up at him. He was fairly good looking. She didn't think she recognized him though... which wasn't all that uncommon considering the number of people that attended Hogwarts. "What's your name?" Melanie inquired casually, just as she pulled a robe off the rack.
She held it in front of her, looking down to see how long it was on her. It hit her ankles just right, but it looked a bit big... Melanie slung it over her shoulder anyway, in case she couldn't find anything better, and continued her search, all the time wishing she was somewhere else.
At least she had company now...

Mia followed his gaze and had to agree that this was NOT the shop for shoes. But wasn't Malkins expensive? She didn't want this nice boy to know her unfortunate woes though.
Mmmhmm very nice to meet him too. She shook his hand and then her eyes lit up at the sueggestion of going somewhere else. "Oh that is really very nice of you Pat. I'm new to Diagon Alley so I don't really know my way around that well yet. So Malkins was it?" "As you do" The Boy smiled as the began to walk out of Quidditch Supplies and acrossed the road headed for Madame Malkins, "I am not a hundred percent sure if they sell shoes, here but if not we can always just get you socks to wear, that may cushion the hard ground a little", he thought it was a good plan anyway. "Madam Malkins, here we are!" Patroclus smiled at Mia, as he opened the door, "Ladies first", he was a true gentleman. "Let's start looking!" |

"Madam Malkins, here we are!" Patroclus smiled at Mia, as he opened the door, "Ladies first", he was a true gentleman. "Let's start looking!"
Mia may have just winced a couple of times as she crossed the street from the Quidditch shop to the robes shop. "That's what I was hoping to find in the quidditch place. A pair of socks. Nice big thick socks with padding on the bottom" she joked as she stopped while Pat opened the door for her.
As she stepped inside, Mia's eyes took in everything the store had to offer. Like everything in Diagon Alley, except for the third hand book store, everything was all sparkly and new. Her heart sank a little. She was never going to be able to afford anything that looked that good.
"So where do we start?" She asked as she looked over her shoulder at Pat. Mia realised that he must be at least her age or maybe a little older, sometimes she could never tell. "So do you go to Hogwarts Pat?" One day she would be able to say his name properly.

Jade Aimee Smith Department of Mysteries | Atypical Ravenclaw Bookworm // Hair Flipper Pro / / the edgy starbuckian // Hot Messie Sebastien had really gotten himself in deeper than he had expected. He was completely at a lose now. Did he get the silk ones or would she like the satin one? Merlin, maybe he should have paid more attention before. Whom ever said that twins just knew what the other liked must have never met Sylvie, She was going to be hard to shop for. Pulling out two robes, he shook his head. This was why he never shopped for robes. He had always left it for the ladies to do.
Looking at the robes in his hands and then around, he sighed. Perhaps, he would just get the two and be done with it. If she didn't like them, he knew she would just return them for something else. Yes, that was just the way his sister was. They did both look nice and knowing how much of a narcissist Sylvie could be, he knew they had to be nice or she wouldn't even think about wearing them. At least he knew that much about his twin.
With both robes folded over his arm, he made his way toward the counter. Maybe he would find something else on his way. Well, he hoped at least.

"So do you go to Hogwarts Pat?" One day she would be able to say his name properly. "Well I am sure we can find some in here! Besides I doubt you would want to buy Quidditch socks, unless you intend on playing the sport, they are a tad over-priced for shoes" Patroclus laughed. Even he thought some of the monitary requirements of Quidditch were a tad too expensive, especiall if they wer going to be used as shoes, they would be in holes in no time!
Patroclus began to start browsing the aisles, "I think maybe if we each take and aisle and look, we will find something fast, I am sure your feet are loving the smooth floor in here!" Patroclus gazed down at his own feet, "If my feet weren't so big I would offer you my sandals but I think they would be a little too hard for you to walk in!" The image of Mia with his shoes filled his head and he couldn't help but laugh. "If all else fails we can ask for help!" he smiled, " And why yes I do go to Hogwarts, I will be a fourth Year this coming year, you?" He was sure he hadn't seen her before, but It was a biig school. |

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. He had just begun to move towards the Hogwarts display, re-reading his list as he did so, when he was almost yanked off his feet. "Ye - es," he said, the word disjointed by surprise, "Clothes, that's what we're here for," he nodded cheerfully.
He held out his hands to accept the item she offered and suddenly found himself swimming in a sea of black cloth. "Hummumm!" he try to say through the cloth on his face. He shook his head to remove it and it fell to the floor. "Klaudette!" he exclaimed, "You're smothering me," he said grinning as if he would have liked nothing better.
He set the pile of clothes down on one of the displays and bent down to retrieve what looked like the required winter cloak and the pointed hat. He straightened up. "Shouldn't I try them on, you know, check they fit right?" he asked, hoping to slow the avalanche, "My mum will bring me back if she doesn't think I got proper stuff." he added wryly.
He began trying to sort out the piles into several smaller piles dependant on what particular item they were. Robes in one pile, shirts in another and trousers in a third and a final pile closest to him with the winter cloak and hat sitting on top of it. |

Everything was a tad over priced for Mia but she didn't say that out loud. At his suggestion she veered off into another aisle and started looking for some socks. But she could still hear him. "Oh yes this floor feels wonderful on my feet" she called out as she did in fact come across some socks. They weren't padded but they were thick. She picked up a pair in her size and walked back to find Pat.
"That's very kind of you to offer" she said walking back up to him and holding up a pair of socks. "No need for assistance."
And then she got that excited look in her eyes again and she gave a little bounce. "Really? Me too. But it's my first year at Hogwarts. I was homeschooled for the past three years but my father decided that I should go to a proper wizarding school. So here I am." Mia held up her hands and giggled again.
"This is so cool. I have been wanting to know what the school is like but everyone I have met, are attending Hogwarts for the first time too. So what's it like?" She asked bouncing up and down again.

She asked bouncing up and down again. “You found some! Great!” Patroclus was very pleased, the girls seemed to have been in quite some pain, and but now she had some padding! “Did you want me to find out if they have any shoes, or even some flip-flops? I think after awhile you would start to feel the ground again through those socks!” “Oh! Wow!” the Gryffindor smiled, “Well welcome to Hogwarts,” he looked around, “OK well welcome to being a Hogwarts student. You will love it, it‘s the best home, away from home anyone could ask for!” Patroclus could only image the excitement the girl must be feeling; after all he had experienced it too, three years ago! “My brother was home-schooled as well, as we were traveling, so I can tell you, it will be quite a shock to your system, but you will love it after awhile!” “So how about those shoes?” |
