Plus... How could she help it?

Today was the day she waited for all term. Doing odd tasks here and there to save money, only to be able to blow it all here today. She could have been working on her book list for the school year, but that would have just ruined her fun. Today was for leisure books only, which was why she bypassed all the textbooks in order to drag Pippa towards the fiction.

She eventually released her sister's arm, only to pick up a book from the shelf and flip through the pages. "You planning on getting anything today?"

Curls piled upon the back of her head and pinned there by her wand, as had rather become her habit during the summer months, Pippa had grinned in response to her sister’s overly dramatic reaction to the smells of the bookshop. “Don’t most people say that about Christmas?”, she teased, returning the little arm squeeze as she let her eyes scan over the shelves in sight. She was used to Allie being like this by now, and honestly she herself enjoyed the general mood that Diagon Alley displayed during the summer. Even if sometimes she still missed the reserve, too.

Plus, she knew Allie wasn’t here for the seventh-year books, just as the rising fifth year Gryffindor was absolutely not letting her big sister drag her into the shop for her schoolbooks either. Even before she’d been dragged all the way over to the fiction section. It was just a known fact.

“D’you think they have any good vampire fiction?”, she responded, wandering to a different shelf. “Like Muggle stuff, but not Twilight.” Since she’d found the wizarding vampire stories weren’t quite as romantic and, well, interesting. Which the one Muggle series only qualified in one aspect. She was more Dracula, not sparkly vampires.
