Delicately flicking her long, thick brown locks behind her shoulder, the young Escalante took her sunglasses off and tucked them back into her designer purse. In exchange she brandished a list.

Invisibility cloak. Necessary if she wanted to sneak around. Probably won’t fool her dad. Hmm. Might wait on that one. Rememberall. Definitely a NEED because she was notorious for forgetting about homework. Not her fault they all had different deadlines. Rude. Anti-Burglary buzzar for her new broomstick. She was getting a new one and she trusted no one. Then again, her dad is the Flying Instructor. Maybe he could keep hers safe. Howler. For yelling at people without exhausting her beautiful voice.

Last, a MAGICAL CAMERA!!!!!!

She’s been dreaming of one ever since she got into taking selfies. And now that she has a baby brother and he was starting to walk and all the new Hogwarts adventures, she had more reasons for a camera.

It was the main reason she brought her grandfather. Her dad and mom would NEVER agree to buy her all of these things. No. She had to save up her money in order to learn the “value” of things. And that just because she came from money it doesn’t mean she’ll be spoiled. That’s what grandparents were for. Grandpa Phabian ADORES her and he had no patience when it came to her constantly SIGHING. Easy-peasy.

Now. To the first thing on her list. The invisibility cloaks.

Already close to the Invisibility Cloaks was one Regulus G. Prince. He was once again stuck in Diagon Alley, bored, and trying to entertain himself. For most of the morning he had been determinedly completing a crossword in a discovered Daily Prophet, only to find himself stuck, realise he'd made several errors early on, and decided to go wandering instead (though he'd torn the page out and pocketed it, to fix and retry later). The novelty of sticking his hand between the folds of the Invisibility Cloaks and seeing it disappear had long worn off, but he was back here anyway as part of his routine circuit of the Alley.

Only, he never got to the Cloaks, because when he was still only just in the vicinity, he passed a shelf of nearby Sneakoscopes, and one started to light up and spin and whistle. But only one of them.

Though Regulus would not call anything he was doing, planning on doing, or had been doing until that moment especially untrustworthy, the Sneakoscope evidently disagreed, and was unlikely to listen to reason. He stepped forward and grabbed it, clamping his hands over it to muffle the isolated furore. Sure, it was no longer spinning, and the lights were now just making his hands look like a ghostly disco, and the whistling was a little more restrained... but Regulus would have to put it down again at some point.

He looked around, up and down the aisle, and saw someone else appear at the end of it. "This thing is broken," Regulus called out to them, by way of... greeting?
