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.

Pip's observation was not incorrect, and truthfully Alouette had stolen the general sentiment from the aforementioned season. But they were far closer to the summer solstice than the winter, but despite her dramatics she also believed her comment to be 100% accurate. "Only be uncultured swine." She replied, a soft tease still to her tone as she gave a soft giggle. "Though of course if you think Christmas is the better time of year, I'll forgive you for your poor opinion, dearest sister."

Allie wouldn't have even begun to dream of torturing Pip like that. This was a big exam year for the pair of them, but it was still summer which meant neither one of them was allowed to already despair on what was coming. No, this was the perfect time to just find leisure books and enjoy the free time until September 1st rolled around.

At the question, she rising seventh year let go of Pippa's arm in order to explore more closely some of the shelves in front of them. She could see a few muggle fantasy options (though they all seemed to have dragons on the front of it. Silly muggles) but nothing vampiric yet. She grabbed one with a gothic looking aesthetic to the cover and took a glance. "This one maybe?" She said, as she passed it over to her sister, before grabbing something that likewise looked of a dark mystery. "Are we in a vampire era currently?"
