On the quiet North End of the Street lies a modest-yet-popular shop called Quality Quidditch Supplies. Through a battered storefront polished to its finest, you enter a world of brooms and Bludgers and much more. The side walls are stocked high with the finest brooms in the industry while the back shelves hold leading Quidditch reading material. In between the two hold everything you could want from your favorite Quidditch shop in the alley.
Along the walls and throughout the shop you'll find various book shelves, magazine stands, robe racks, and displays. The back wall houses books and other reading material while the middle walls are lined with the newest brooms on the market. The displays throughout the middle of the shop carry the latest Quidditch fashion, various items for game play, and supplies to keep your purchases in tip-top condition!
Only our most privileged customers are permitted into the depths of the shop. Here we hold the best and most dangerous brooms kept in-stock as well as private collections and antique Quidditch equipment for sale at a much higher price. For our buyers convenience, we have complimentary refreshments ready for consumption.
After you've found everything your looking for inside the shop, take it to the counter to buy all your goodies! Prices are listed on the sign hanging above the register and the shopkeeper will be happy to ring you up (and maybe even snag you a good deal!)
When you're purchases are all bagged up and you're ready to go, head back out to the North End of the Street for more Diagon Alley fun!

{BRIEF BACKGROUND/HISTORY}
Nancy was born into a quite rich middle-class family in Liverpool. Her mother Virginia's side of the family are a little dispersed as after a huge fight between Virigina and her sister Zoey the latter moved to Australia to start a new life there...and to be as far away from her sister as possible. Therefore, the only relatives Nancy is in contact with are ones from her father's side, who - according to her - are a little on the strange side, however. Don't ask her about it or she will go on and on for hours about what ridiculous ideas they've come up lately.
Both her parents agreed on only having one child so they could take better care of it and don't run the risk of neglecting one of their children. This has however led to them being totally overprotective of their only daughter, trying to prevent her from doing anything which might be in some way dangerous. Obviously, this is not taken very well by their daughter...
After her time spent at Hogwarts, Nancy moved on to study Arithmancy at university while attempting to make her relationship with her boyfriend Steven work. Which it did. So much so that they got married in 2075 and moved in together.
{PERSONALITY/EXTRA}
Nancy's generally a very extraverted, friendly person who normally lends a helping hand to whoever is in need for one. Of course there are also people she wouldn't do that for but let's not dwell on them...much. She loves Quidditch, playing it, watching it, talking about it. Furthermore, Nancy is absolutely fluent in sarcasm, so don't take her serious all the time. Another extremely important part of her life are her friends for whom she would do anything and is very loyal to.
There is one thing Nancy is absolutely terrified of and that's snakes (yes, ironic much, her being in Slytherin and all). Especially after an incident in her Sixth Year involving a certain former Slytherin Prefect (aka Reese Upstead) her Ophidiophobia has become worse.
Another thing she can't stand is crying. This includes herself and others. Tears creep her out and it is extremely hard for her to comfort a crying person. It just gives her the creeps. Period. At times she can be extremely lazy, especially when it comes to doing homework or just in general things she doesn't enjoy doing. Procrastination is her best friend.

Medusa, unlike her name isn't all mean. Sure, she's quite strict, firm, silent and tends to keep a blank-expressioned face yet she is VERY fond of children. In fact, she often babysits her five year old niece. But...as loving as she is to little kids, she doesn't entertain men. Nope. She'd rather live alone that be tied to someone who orders her around.
She doesn't like being demanded to do something, she's the one who demands. But not in a bossy way, more like a pretty please way. She wants everything in order, she wants everything clean. She LOVES manners. She's nice when you're nice to her and her shop (yes, and everything on it) but if not.....WATCH OUT!
Also, she loves flowers. You know, the large red ones. Yeap, her favorite. *nods*
∞ Brief History∞
Medusa was born on April 23rd, 2049 to parents Aphrodite and Benedict Dischell. She only has one sibling, her younger sister Dionne.
Growing from a pureblood family was not like the usual ones for Medusa. Her family was quite the opposite of those stereotypical pureblood clans. They were enthusiastic and just full of life. So she grew up with these traits. Her mother and father made sure that she and her sister never insulted or looked down on muggles. Hence, why she and her sister Dionne never got into a fight with other children.
Having known her magical abilities since she was five, she was then sent to Salem Academy of Witches a few months after her eleventh birthday. She studied there and excelled in her own way. Her sister was the one who was too engrossed with Quidditch at the very start, she wasn't that interested, Later however, her sister had influenced her and that made her utterly obsessed with the sport.
After a few years, she graduated from the Academy, went into a Wizarding University at Montreal, Quebec, Canada where she took up Business Administration and Management. By the year she graduated, she learned that her sister got pregnant and the guy never claimed the baby. It changed her. From a happy-go-lucky woman, she became an uptight lady instead. She helped her sister with raising the child and finally..after almost five years of isolating herself from the outside world because of tending to her niece and sister's welfare, she decided to continue living her life.
And that is why she bought the Quality Quidditch Supplies Shop when its previous owner sold it. She was going to start anew, and Quidditch was right there to back her up.
