Walking over to the window Nerida picked up the salt book. Read a couple pages before setting it down and walking back up to Ms.Amarantha. "It looked interesting but I was just wondering if you had any murder mysteries?
"Oh." Amarantha was completely distracted by these boys with their questions, but she gestured for the girl to join her. "Of course. Yes. But won't you have some tea with us first?"

"Such a sport," she twinkled at him a bit before pouring a cup of tea for all the children currently in the shop. YOU SEE THAT? EVERYONE DRINK TEA.
"Who did you say has that locket?"

Coughing a bit awkwardly, he moved forward, musing his hair. "Ma'am...Do you happen to have any books in the store that pertain to Alchemy...Or just potions in general." He was interested on learning more about the subjects... Preferably how to combined the two..."It's for an important school project..."
"Oh, my... a project on Alchemy? How very interesting. I have several old texts on the shelf to the left of the cash register. But do step up and join us for a cuppa."

"Oh, yes. Yes. Lessons learned and happiness found. It's very warm and pleasant. Like taking a bath, I suppose." Or... something equally happy-making. Tea?

The girl looked a little out-of-place in the bookshop. Granted her dark clothes were okay-- She wore a black longsleeved shirt with the Ravenclaw emblem on the chest. Her grey skinny jeans were the color of dust, and that was okay. What stood out was her bright red hair. Of course, that hair made her stand out everywhere. Slung over her shoulder was her beige messenger bag, which was looking very light today.
Before she made it up to the shopkeeper, she was, of course, distracted. It was such an interesting little shop.
From inside her bag, something shifted around and trilled. Kana made a quiet "shhh" noise towards the bag, and the sound stopped. There weren't many opportunities to bring Kit out of the common room. He was well-behaved enough. She trusted him.
Oh DEAR. The children just kept on appearing, didn't they? "Come in, come in, my dear. TAke a look at the books, and... you have very lovely hair."
Gingers were the BEST.
