If this wandmaker was so famous, he must be good. It was always good to have the best education. Although...nothing beat the French wandmakers. That was just a FACT.
...What? Stare. "Non, I juzt..."
Erm...
He just couldn't finish his sentence now.
Eying the crystal ball in this...woman's?...hand, Noel glanced to the Durmstrang company he currently had out of the corner of his eyes before fiddling with the pockets of his jeans.
The other shifty people in this place were looking a lot better now... "We..." Umm. Perhaps it was the yellow eyes that had all the words die before they could even make it out of his mouth. Or maybe it was just because he was afraid of breathing the same air as this person was for fear that he'd end up looking like her. It. Thing. "Nikolai 'ere waz juzt wanting to look at zose...zingz." Those things there. The ones he was pointing to.
The shiny crystal balls orb things. Oui? Nik? Quote:

It took only seconds for the woman to walk around her cart at the sound of approaching feet, and lucky for her, because business had been slow, the person had stopped. But being a hag of her age, she was not happy about it. She didn't want him to stand around her cart all day and just stare at her merchandise. She wanted him gone, and she didn't care what Atropos had to say about it.
Picking up one of the dowsing rods she noticed him looking at, she began prodding him in the chest with it. "You! What do you want?"
The prodding of the first man stopped momentarily as two more decided to show their faces in front of her cart. Could none of them see that the green skinned woman did not want them there? And how could she miss the grin on the first man's face and the snickering coming from the second?
She had been stared at, laughed at and teased all her life, she was not going to stand there, in front of her cart and do nothing about it.
Prodding the first man once again, she picked up one of her crystal balls and raising it above her head, she narrowed her yellow eyes dangerously. "What do you want?" Yes, Nikolai thought himself lucky as well. He had his whole life planned out already, and it was that much better because he had his whole life planned out with Mia. Everything was perfect and he would have boasted about it, but seeing as they were standing in the middle of Knockturn Alley, in front of a rather strange cart, he decided it best not to. He did give the French guy a rare smile, though, before turning his attention back to the cart.
The cart that Noel wasn't going to buy anything from. Then why did they stop there, of all places?
He had opened his mouth to ask, but instead, he had come face to face with the ugliest woman he had ever seen. She had green skin! Screwing his face up a bit, he took a step back as the Hag raised a crystal ball over her head. She wasn't planning on throwing it, was she? Surely not at HIM? Glancing at Noel from the corner of his eyes as he began to explain what they were doing there, Nikolai was tempted to rip the crystal ball from the woman's claws and throw it at him. Why was he being blamed? He wasn't the one that stopped! "Actually." Nik finally piped up after glancing at the things Noel was pointing to. He did not want those! He didn't even know what they were. "My friend Noel here was just wondering if he could owl you sometime. Says he likes your eyes." |
