"Soph!" The blonde arrived and navigated her way through the crowded shop, a string of polite excuse mes following her right up to the brunette she'd been excited to see. "I almost didn't recognize you without kids attached to your legs." Tugging the former Hufflepuff into a hug, she gave her a squeeze. Mrs. Mordaunt had been missed, did she know? |
Quote:
"I finally found something to do with my hands!" She added in a triumphant tone and chuckling, gesturing with her head towards the beautiful vinyl records she'd been flipping through. "Imagine these hanging on a wall!" The former Hufflepuff held one in each hand, lifting them above her eye level as if she was about to place them on an imaginary wall in front of her. Yeah, yeah, they played music and all, but Sophie was a lot more visual and those were BEAUTIFUL! |
Quote:
The blonde shook her head and moved towards the nearest box of records, leafing through carefully. Maybe she'd get Alec something, too. |
Quote:
Lowering her hands and the records, Sophie gawked at Ella. "How old is he now??" She had lost track of time, clearly. In her mind, Caleb was still... at least the (very) young teenager she remembered seeing at Ella's house back in the day. Merlin, she remembered when she first met him! A child. Literally, just a kid. How did he have- It dawned upon her that it would one day be her own children and that freaked. Her. Out. Quick, think of something else! Sophie pulled up another set of vinyl records. "Maybe I should get Mordred some Muggle records! Do you reckon he'll-" And she trailed off when she saw what she was holding. Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica. The brunette blinked and looked at her friend. "Um..." Way to go helping her pureblood husband get acquainted with the Muggle world? |
Quote:
"Hm?" She'd been a bit lost in thought but she quickly snapped out of it when she caught sight of what her best was holding. And laughed. "Wow Soph, he's going to love that." The blonde grinned. "I can see him now, all studious, brow furrowed, rocking out to Captain Beefheart." Best. Image. Ever. |
Quote:
So Caleb's girlfriend was a pretty nice girl. Aw, that was nice to hear. "I'm glad! He's a nice boy... uh, man..?" Wut! Merlin. "...himself; he deserves a nice girl." The brunette smiled. "How's your dad doing, by the way?" Sophie couldn't help but crack up at Ella comment. "Maybe I should get it and pretend it's a serious gift and see his reaction! Tell him that's actually what Muggles normally listen to." She couldn't help but laugh her head off imagining him trying to look... 'politely pleased' with this awfully strange gift to not hurt his wife's feelings. "I'll probably end up giving it to Mandy, though. This seems like something she'd enjoy." |
Quote:
"Mhm." Cameron hummed in reply, setting the record down again and picking up another. "Can you listen to them too?" He looked back at Julie before letting his eyes wander around the shop again, both in search of perhaps a room to listen to the records AND to see if there was anything else that caught his attention. How had he never been here before? |

Merlin. Taking a deep breath, the blonde toyed with the ends of her hair and focused on what they were talking about. Caleb. Caleb deserved a nice girl. "Yeah he does. I attempted to give her the whole intimidating big sister talk, but it didn't go so well. I'm apparently not that intimidating." Who knew? Ella smiled and shrugged. "My dad is good. He loves being a grandfather. He even put up one of those muggle climbing frames they've got in playgrounds. It's cool." And yes, she'd ensured the ground around the area was softened so her kids wouldn't get hurt. She was a careful mom, okay? "How are your parents?" "I think you should get it for Mandy, but pull one over on Mordred first. Oh, and can I be there to witness it? That'd make my day." She grinned, bouncing a bit. Teasing, she was. |
Quote:
Woops? Heehee. Anyways. About the Muggle climbing frames. "He did it himself?? That's impressive!" Sophie knew Ella's dad was a Muggle and Merlin, it probably took them ages to get those things up. She was thankful all she had to do was to flick her wand and everything got done in an instant. Thank Merlin for magic. "Speaking of that, how does he and Caleb deal with the fact that... you know, the kids are magical?" It was a genuine question that sparked Sophie's curiosity as she herself didn't have to deal with that. Her Muggle family didn't exactly know about their abilities, but they were only distant cousins now. And when the conversation turned to her parents, she smiled. "They are great, loving being grandparents too! Actually, the kids are with them now. First time I leave Scarlett with them!" And all parties were taking it pretty well, in her opinion. What a difference not being a first-time mum anymore did. The brunette was still laughing. "You should be there, it'll be funnier then! Not sure he'd believe me if I said this is strange even for Muggles if you're not that to back me up." She finished with a soft chuckle, looking at the strange cover again. Merlin, some people were really creative. Maybe a little too much. Like her cousin. "I can definitely see Mandy rocking out to this. Maybe even use it in one of her shows." Merlin! |
Quote:
"Dad likes a challenge. I imagine he thought of building the thing as a giant puzzle. He did a good job of it, too." The blonde smiled, Sophie's next question causing her to pause her skimming of records and turn towards her best friend. "I think they're used to it by now. They're mindful, especially when Sam is throwing his tantrums because he's at that age. They never make a big deal if something breaks or goes boom. It's easier since they both got to see how Cecelia's magic developed, and mine way before that in my dad's case. I think it sort of prepared them better." And she trusted them completely with handling situations when she wasn't around, which made days like this much easier on the normally nervous elephant lover. "Your parents have their hands full, then. Do they have the kids helping with plants already?" "You know you can always count on me for that." Having Sophie's back was a forever job now. Ella laughed, shaking her head. "We should go to one of her shows soon, actually. Drag Alec and Mordred along. I don't remember the last time I had a date night." |
Why he had always passed by this shop was beyond him. This was in one word ...cool. Dorian looked around in wonder. He had never seen this many cd's before. His father and grandparents prefered the radio. He browsed the muggle music section. Every band name he read didn't light a bulb in his mind. He had no clue who they all were and judging by the kinds of albums they were he guessed that they had lived a very long time ago . He moved to the next section and stopped in front of a odd looking thing. It was small like a matchbox and black. He dared to touch it and confirmed that it was made of plastic. He looked up at the small sign saying 'Cassette tapes' and frowned deeper. How did one listen music with that?? |
For GD! Brody never was a very big fan of music. He doubted he ever would be but as his Uncle Lucas wanted to stop by to get some romantic (ewwww) music for his Aunt, here he was in Atticuss. His arms were folded across his chest as he watched everyone around fawn over the merchandise or albums. What is it with music that they all seem to like? he wondered. The eleven year old moved closer to one of the tables. Both Muggle and Wizarding albums littered them. Growing up completely in the Wizarding world, he was familiar with the Weird Sisters, The Dead Kneazles... It was the Muggle albums that he was more interested in. |
Quote:
As the door closed behind him, he noticed the lack of walking space around the shop. Despite the lack of space, he entered the array of metal tables to find something new to listen to. With a loving touch, he picked up the first cassette tape he could lay his hands on, longingly wishing he had brought his cassette player with him. As he looked up, the spotted another boy in the store, arms folded across his chest. With a small smile, he looked shyly at the boy and then quickly glanced down at his cassette tape, aware that cassette tapes were not cool. |
SPOILER!!: Ewan! Brody was quite good at observing, people in particular. You see, people watching happened to be one of the things he enjoyed very much. A hobby, if you will. It was for this reason that he became aware of the boy about the same age as him fondly looking over the cassette. Even the gentle touch of the object did not go unnoticed. Brody continued to look at him out of the corner of his eyes, forgetting about the Taylor Swift record he had been so interested in. Rather, it had been a picture of the pretty and blond Swift that had caught his attention. Though it was the other kid that seemed to be interested in him. "Problem?'' Brody asked in a bored voice. |
Quote:
"Sorry, Hi. My names Ewan. I'll be starting my first year at Hogwarts. I just noticed you looking at the music". Hoping the boy wouldn't think he was strange, he gave him a small smile. Ewan wasn't sure how Wizards interacted. It couldn't be that different than muggles, he mused. |
SPOILER!!: Ewan! <3 Brody stared. Did this boy, Ewan, know not to trust strangers? Granted that Brody wasn't going to be doing anything strange to him, there were weirdos out there. And what he was supposed to say? Nice to meet you? Right. That was the last thing that he wanted to come out of his mouth so he just nodded. There was no need for he too to offer his name or to reveal that he would be at Hogwarts this year as well. "Actually, I was looking at her.'' Brody pointed to Taylor's picture. "Hot, isn't she?'' There were other pictures that seemed to show her evolution as her career progressed starting with her in curly hair then her with straight hair and more make up. Curly haired Taylor was the cutest. |
Quote:
"So... are you going to tell me your name? Or do I need to call you Swifty?", winking cheekily, he picked up the Album and turned it over, looking at the track list. |
LAUREN! & E.M Knight Beth tossed her long hair before quickly scrambling and pulling it up into a bun. A high, very messy bun. A bun that could easily have been pulled together by someone while flying on a broom. |

Okay, it was obvious from the very beginning that he had entered what could only be called a new world. There were so many fantastic thing that he had seen today, but as the day wore on, it just got overwhelming. As he wandered down the street, he noticed a shop that looked, well, sort of normalish. It was music anyways. Heading into the store, he looked around and shrugged. Could have been worse. Stepping up to the music tables, near some strange girl who seemed to be trying to hide, he started flipping through the albums there. It was odd, while he wasn't a music expert or anything, they were all names he wasn't familiar with. Where was Drastic Apparatus or Entangled Environment? "What is Disorder of the Phoenix?" asked aloud, studying the cover of the album. |
Lex entered the music shop, excited to see what she may find. Her older cousin, Marigold, had just released some new music, and Lex wondered if she would find it here. She wasn't sure if her cousin was famous or not - she didn't really care about such things. But she had been excited to hear the music for a long time. Lex was sure that she could find something great here. She loved music. Despite always knowing about the wizarding world and spending her entire life around some very skilled wizards and witches, Lex thought that something as simple as music was the most magical thing ever. And it would definitely help her relax if she got too nervous about her first year of Hogwarts. After brushing a few strands of her blonde hair out of her face, she started browsing through the music. She had plenty of time to shop, and she was looking for something new - something different, like she had never heard before. All the while, she kept an eye out for her cousin's new album. |
LAUREN *loves* Beth shifted the album just enough to see who was speaking…their voice, they had a nice voice whoever it was. Oh. He looked nice in the kind face way…not the pretty face way even though maybe, just maybe it was a pretty face. ”I have no clue – their songs sound rather loud and angry-metal-y?” she spoke quietly before lowering the album again and turning to face the young wizard. |
Quote:
He frowned and slipped the album he was holding back into the display. He absently flipped through them as he watched her, "I tend to lean more towards Rock, myself, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot here. It's all weird stuff." Looking over the one she pulled out he studied the cover. "I think I've heard that one before. It's really, really old though." "Hogwarts, that's the magic school, right?" He was having a hard time remembering the name of it, it was just so weird. "Yeah, I'll be going there this year. And, I'm Edmund." He gave her a quick grin, and looked back down at the albums. "Ah, finally, here's one I know." he pulled out one that was covered in neon lights. "I like synth pop too, its a lot of fun." |
Quote:
Beth honestly didn’t mind talking to this guy, he seemed nice…and maybe he was her age? That would have been a plus because really she wanted friends that were close to her age and not creepy. Some of the people she had seen in this town were creepy which really, she was going to tell Q everything about this…it was I N T E N S E to say the least. |
SPOILER!!: Ewan! <3 Brody arched an eyebrow. This boy's name must be 'Mr. Friendly' or something of the sort. The curly headed boy just shrugged. "I mean besides her looks, is she talented? I haven't heard any of her music.'' He looked back at the curly haired Taylor. Curly hair just like his except hers was blond and his was dark. "What do you think? Should I get one of her CDs?'' Brody blinked. What was it and people nicknaming him? First Curls and now Swifty. "Why do I get the feeling that even after I tell you my name you'll still call me Swifty?'' he asked, slightly irritable. Were kids his age always that immature? Really, nicknames were so boring. |
Quote:
"You can tell me and find out?" Smirking. He looked at the boy now. What was he going to do next... |
