What might be a work of art, or is possibly what nightmares are made of, is the fountain outside the Leaky Cauldron. Large, gaudy and rather obnoxious, it is most definitely a centerpoint of the area. Built of crumbling stone, the fountain is tall and contains three tiers. Starting at the bottom, the fountain has a three-foot high wall. In the center and serving as a support beam is a water serpent that rises from the pool and to the very top. Winged cherubs with wicked looks in their eyes hang off the serpent and dragons peer from around his climbing body. If it feels like the dragons and cherubs are watching you, it’s because they probably are. One cherub has been missing his head for centuries. Cherubs and dragons alike spit water in many directions, sometimes at different intervals, creating a beautiful display when sunlight catches the dancing water.

However, the fountain is not merely a great sight. Perhaps it is haunted, or maybe cursed, for the fountain has a tendency to spit water at people. Those who loiter too long may find their faces wet. Try to sit down on the edge without dropping a coin and you may find yourself doused with water. However – do not try to outsmart the fountain. Dropping muggle money won’t buy you any time. On the contrary, those who drop muggle coins will find themselves pelted with coins.

Oh, and just a warning. Don’t try to stick your hand into the water, especially in hopes of grabbing some money from the bottom. Creepy things with tentacles would love to bathe with you.

He really did hate guessing, especially when he didn't even have an idea of where to start. "I will investigate and get back to you," Jeremy said with a small smile and a nod of the head.

Jeremy nodded as she listed off her favorite places. He wasn't tremendously familiar with New York City, but he had definitely heard of Madison Ave. "Do you miss living there?" Jeremy asked. After all, Schuyler did seem to get pretty excited talking about the different places in new york that she liked. At least, it seemed like it to him anyway. He missed living in Florida a lot. Particularly the very enjoyable weather and the absence of cursed fountains that spout water on you hehe.

The small smile on her face made Jeremy relax slightly. Really it was harmless and it was pretty amusing, so he figured there was nothing to be worried about. At her inquiry about the shirt, Jeremy shook his head. "It's still soaking wet," Jeremy said. "After my first fountain encounter today, I must have left my wand in the hotel room after I changed." That was probably bad. His mother always told him to never go anywhere without his wands. Whoops...

Well, there you have it. Jeremy would investigate the story behind his nickname and get back to her. Yes. Good. She smiled too, and also nodded. Jem did suit him.

Now, did she miss living in the city? Did Harry Potter have a lightning bolt scar? "Yeah, of course!" That was probably obvious. "That's not to say that I wish we hadn't moved." Because she liked how things were now. And she liked the change. And the sort of catharsis that came with starting fresh came at a nice time. No, she wouldn't have changed anything. "I'm sure you miss Florida's weather." Because sorry, England. Florida totally won that competition.

Okay, so Schuyler really wasn't that surprised that his shirt was still pretty wet. At least it wasn't dripping all over the place now that he wrung it out. Forgetting his wand wasn't really what stuck out to her when he spoke. "Why are you staying in a hotel?" Just wondering. Because Diagon Alley was kind of an odd place to be vacationing, in her humble opinion. Oh also. She still wasn't offering to charm his shirt dry.

The twelve year old took a seat on the edge of the fountain, setting his bag of sweets next to him. He then began eating his cauldron cake ice cream. Mmmm. His absolute favorite flavor. Smiling, he glanced around himself for any familiar faces.

This is where they were supposed to meet right? Mordred and his uncle Aldred was very specific about where to meet, therefore, he was specific too on where to hang-out just to make sure that he'll be spotted easily. "It has already been an hour..." and he was tired from visiting one shop to another. He saw loads of stuff that he wanted to buy, but he only had a few knuts and sickles to spend. "I should have borrowed from uncle..."

Ethan sat on the edge of the fountain and looked around to see if his companions were already there. But instead of seeing his cousin and uncle, he saw a boy a few seats away smiling...at him.

A stare first...then a smile. "Hi." Ethan gave him a small wave. "Are you waiting for someone too?"

As much as he had nostalgia for Florida, he did like the opportunity to see England and experience European culture for this first time in his life. "Yeah…compared to Florida the weather here just sucks," Jeremy said with a laugh. It was true…he missed the beautiful beaches, the pretty palm trees, and the Florida sun. London seemed to just consist of…well…a lot of rain. And even when it wasn't raining Jeremy somehow still managed to get soaked (present fountain situation case in point).

Why was he staying in a hotel? "My mom is traveling back in the states for her job right now, and since I still needed to get all my school supplies and such, it just made sense for me to stay in Diagon Alley for a couple of days." Jeremy didn't really mind. He was pretty good at fending for himself so it hadn't really seemed like that big of a deal.

"But enough about that.." he was tired of talking about his parents.

Leo listened to this, he was an interesting kid. Maybe he's stick around just to write his own book about Bart, the kid was a goldmine now....imagine him in a few years.. "Well, i'm sure you could have done it.." Was all he said, cause how else do you respond to a plan about blowing up a school with fireworks? "Oh, I'll be a fourth year, it's very different there from my old school, at least it seems that way, Hogwarts a History was an interesting read.." Though he was sure the boy hadn't read it.

Bart saw something shiny in the fountain and his focus soon shifted there. What was it and why was it in there. The more he looked the more he realized it was coins. Why would there be coins in the fountain. Did people throw them in there for fun or something else. He shrugged, "I don't like standing around watching her be hurt." He saw the look at times when Charely seemed preoccupied, but whatever it seemed he was stuck with the man. "I lucked out though. His son and nephew are cool." His brown eyes looked up when the boy said it was enough of the topic. He got that he really did so he wouldn't bring anything else up about it.

His smile grew he liked this boy, he wasn't scowling at him or thinking he was just a trouble maker, because he didn't find himself a trouble maker just wanted to see which things he could push further was all. "I know I could with a little more experimenting. I might try again." He wanted big, no wait huge fireworks. It wasn't that he wanted to blow up a lab he wanted the fireworks to be cooler. So the boy was older, but his words made Bart shrug. Read that book, he had seen that book at Charely's most likely Wades. It was too big and he wanted nothing to do with reading it. "It's a school how different could it be. We are locked away, put it in a house, and taught magic. Some thing different school." They weren't really that different he didn't think at least.

Aaaaaaaand back to checking out the tie.

Wasps? The Quidditch team? Forrest was a player, but he wasn't a fan of any team yet ~~might check what Ella thought~~ and he kind of envied the wizard kids because they could go to matches and he couldn't, but there was nothing he could do unless he was of age to go to places by himself.

He smiled respectfully at Cutty's mother, but his smile was short lived. Concert, she said? As in... Cutty played an instrument well enough to perform?! What kind of a best friend was Forrest to not know this?! He didn't even register they were leaving. His subconscious ordered him to wave and so he did, but he was busy reprimanding himself and thinking of ways to ask it.

What kind of best friends thought how to ask--Cutty was too cool to be bothered by stupid questions, so of course Forrest had to think carefully about his questions beforehand.

Luckily, Tobias did all the respectful stuff so Forrest hopefully didn't stick out too much.

"...yeah, she does..." he said thoughtfully, then landed back on this world. "D'you think she's his mother?"

"I don't trust myself with your wand. I'll let it air dry. It'll wrinkle and I'll look like I've been in power for longer." She looked like she was a baby Queen. Queen Mousey Moretti. Darcy. Moretti? Darcy? Whatever. Just Mousey was more than good too.

"Well, you could use it if you wanted." She wiggled her wand at him one more time and shrugged. He wasn't going to use it, but she had already offered. "But you could dry yourself off too, probably." Oh well, though. Oh well. "Will you wrinkle too?" She wondered, offering her hand to him. "I'm not touching you too much cause you're soaked."

But she'd hold his hand, if he wanted.

Tristan smiled and shook his head, but blew Mousey a little kiss in thanks. "My clothes will probably wrinkle." But he wouldn't. He was sure he hadn't been that attacked by water. And he wasn't that old.

"I guess my hand is lucky then, huh Mousey?" T grinned, and took the hand she was offering into his own, making sure to hold it as properly as he could. Not linking fingers though. He was sure that wasn't allowed when they were in front of people.

"Charlie is staying here this summer....." Part of him had wanted to mention her before Nova mentioned Marco. One nil.

"You'll be all wrinkled, then." Nova gave his hand a swing and began to steer them in the direction AWAY from the spouting fountain. She didn't want to get hit next, nope. It was one thing for Tristan to get soaked, but she had her hair to think about. No one wanted her looking like a drowned rat.

"Luckiest hand in the world." She smiled big, too, which was not something that happened around most people. Tristan was definitely not just anyone, though, he was her best someone. Best friend. "She is? Where?" She glanced over Tristan and his wet clothes, "I'd say we should visit her, but.."

He shrugged, giving her another grin and a playful raise of his eyebrows. He didn't do that winking thing. Hilton told him to, but it just never sat right with his eye, and he just ended up blinking. "No matter. It won't cause any health and safety problems." Really, it wouldn't. But he wasn't going to take his shirt off if it did. No. No thanks.

As they moved away from the fountain, Tristan pulled her in for a soggy hug on purpose. "Luckiest hug in the world, too." It was true. Tristan hugs were pretty good. Nova said so herself sometimes. His hugs were good. His paper kisses were good. His flying was good. And his company was awesome.

"I don't know." He hadn't asked, because he knew if he knew he'd visit all the time and she wasn't here a lot because she was working this summer, and he darn hoped she was having so much fun. "It's cool. We can get lunch?" The two of them?

He just really didn't want Nova to witness his awkward silences and his thoughts about CPR with Charlie. And when she'd wrapped her arms around him when they were flying. Oh, and his nervous rash. And how she healed it. Anfjdbhhjfbdkjrfnderjnfjwh.

"TRISTAN!" Nova wiggled and tried to pull away, but she couldn't get out of the hug until Tristan let go. "I successfully avoided getting doused by that fountain and now you've gone and ruined it!" She smacked at his arm, albeit, with not a whole lot of anger. She couldn't be angry at him, it was almost impossible.

She did give him a LOOK, though. "You don't know? You didn't ask?" With a shake of her head, she sighed. "You should have asked. Girls appreciate it when you're actually interested in things." Hmm. Lunch? "We can do that. Lunch on the King." Yeah? She grinned, "Where?"

Text Cut: Alec <33

Delilah nearly squealed. NEARLY. Gosh. What would he have thought if she had, though? But, she couldn't help it. He said kitties. KITTIES. She beamed, feeling extremely happy. "That is so sweet!" The fact that his dad rescued kittens and that they were being looked after. "Where did your dad find them?" Just a curious question. How has she been? "Good! Excited about going to Hogwarts, actually."

......... What? Delilah stared at him for a second before turning to look up at the top of the fountain. Uh. Now that he'd mentioned it.. she eyed the cherubs for a few moments and suddenly felt a little nervous. Their eyes.. yeah. They were rather scary-looking and looked real, too. Eeep! She finally nodded before turning to look at Alec. "Yes.."

Kimothy · 12-23-2013, 06:09 PM

Shane was here. Just passing by, you know. Like a normal dude. He totally had nothing in mind today. Nothing at all.

He went towards the fountain, pretended to admire it, and eyed a certain spot on the fountain's wall. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Mhm. No big deal. He continued to admire and watch the certain spot.

And then Shane left. Going back to Knockturn Alley. His work here was done.

hermionesclone · 12-23-2013, 06:13 PM

Text Cut: She's sooooo cute! <3

Alec's less than interesting story received a beam from the girl which... really surprised the boy. Really. Because there wasn't anything interesting about looking after kittens... was there? "You think so?" Dely thought this was sweet. He was... going to remember that. "He does that often. He's good friends with someone who works at an animal rescue centre so... if someone hands in an animal and they don't have enough space to look after it, Dad does," Was it obvious that the boy LOVED his Dad? "And sometimes people hand them in to him at work, too."

Should he stop talking so much about his Dad? ... Maybe. There was a more interesting topic to talk about than their current animal situation. Topics like, hey! Delilah coming to Hogwarts! "Really? Have you got all your things?" Did she need help? Because this particular Hufflepuff didn't have anything to do. ... Unless Delilah wanted to go to Madam Malkin's or Primpernelle's. Sorry, Delilah.

Maybe he was mad. That... seemed like a possibility. Especially since the seconds seemed to tick by and Delilah was first staring at him -- did he have something on his face? Or worse, his HAIR?! -- and then at the fountain. Was he mad? ... No. Because Delilah saw it too. "I was trying to see if they were and..." He broke off and gave her a half-smile look that said that he'd been defeated. Or proven right. And that they did seem real. See? Not crazy.

... Also... this conversation wasn't going to turn awkward, was it?

He laughed a little louder as she tried to get out, and let her go after a little bit, but not until he'd kissed the top of her head and wiped his wet cheek into her hair. "I was being a good best friend and giving hugs." And sharing his soak. It was obviously meant lovingly. But it was cool. The smacking wasn't. However, Nova's usual pain infliction choice was pinching, so he had gotten off lightly.

He...uh....why was Nova SIGHING at him?! "I am interested. In....her. But she's working this summer. So I didn't want to just turn UP and her not be here and me look silly. I'mgoingtosendherflowersanyway." Not Avery's kind of flowers. He'd send Charlie a bunch of them, not any of those flower halo things that got in the way. "Wherever you'd like to go, nugget." Tristan grinned again, resting his arm around her shoulder.

He just wanted good food.

DaniDiNardo · 12-23-2013, 10:30 PM

Emma made her way to the fountain by the North End of the Street. Not too far from her own territory but scattered with children everywhere. Them being there didn't bother her. She didn't care so long as they stayed out of Knockturn Alley. Up here they were someone else's problem. The woman looked to the fountain, a brief glance as it were. From the looks of it nothing had happened...yet.

She surveyed the area, before stealing a casual, almost unnoticeable look at the fountain itself.

Was that it then? It looked like it. No need to stick around here any further. Emma considered her next stop then headed off. This was no longer her scene.

"I know," Schuyler agreed with enthusiasm. "I think the weather is my only complaint." It was just generally more dreary. Although she supposed this was more of a stark contrast for Jeremy here. Orlando to London? Yeah, pretty different in terms of weather. Today wasn't so bad, though, so hopefully they wouldn't jinx it or something. Her eyes even flickered up to the sky for a moment. Nope. Good. No super gray clouds overhead.

She listened to his explanation concerning the hotel situation. Aha. So school supply shopping. But all alone, yeah? "Oh gosh. When the parents are away, Jeremy will play." She laughed. "And how much school shopping have you actually done?" Any? Because if Schuyler had been put in his situation she would not be shopping for many 'school supplies.' Or at least not until it came down to crunch time.

SPOILER!!: Luc

The boy was certainly odd.. but he wasn't exactly giving off a creep vibe to Claudette. At least not yet. He just seemed a little.. awkward. Still, she eyed him tentatively, especially when he said hi again, then nodded slowly as he tried to stay cool. Though could she blame him? Any guy would try to deflect attention after falling at someone's feet.

Hmm? She gave him a questioning glance, before her eyes drifted down towards her shoe. "Thanks," she said smiling lightly at the compliment. "Charms has always been one of my best subjects." The blonde tilted her head curiously at the boy as he held out his hand. Oh.. he was offering her a hand up? Yes.. she supposed she should be on her way, she had rested enough. More out of consideration for his gesture than out of need, Claudette lightly placed her hand on his and got to her feet, then withdrew it again. His name was Luc? She gave him a curious smile, then chuckled a bit. "What a coincidence.. my brother is also named Luc, though it's not short for anything." So his name was't technically the same as her brother's, but she thought it funny all the same. What were the odds? "Oh.. I'm Claudette," she added as an afterthought.

She faced in the direction of Madame Primpernelle's again, giving Luc a shrug at his words. It was annoying to have her shoe break, but she fixed it for now. "Yes.." she started in a slight drawl, frowning down at her shoes. "This is not the first time something like this has happened.." she mused aloud, more to herself than to the boy. She just made a mental note to find a new place to shop for shoes. Claudette looked back up at Luc at the question, shrugging lightly again. "No.. not really. Came to London to visit family.. just thought I'd get a little shopping in for fun. Probably go school shopping when I get home." She wasn't exactly in any hurry to do that.

Then, a boy walked up to the fountain and said hi to him. Dylan smiled at the boy, giving him a small wave. "Hello!" he said. He then shrugged. "Well, not really. I mean I was waiting to see if anyone I knew would come around so, I guess you could say I was waiting for someone." he said with a laugh. So far, he hadn't seen any of his friends. Ah, well. It was always nice making new ones, and this boy seemed real nice!

"Who are you waiting for, then?" he asked curiously.

Cool. He's cool, and Ethan approves! "So that could only mean that you're from Hogwarts!" Ethan smiled. "I mean, Diagon Alley's packed with Hogwartians this time of the year, yeah?" How he wished he was from Hogwarts. "Oh! Yeah, I'm waiting for my uncle and cousin who said to wait for them here. Hmm...I wonder what's taking them so long..." Ethan said as he scratched his head trying his best not to worry. He wasn't a frequent visitor of the place, and in case his cousin and uncle forgot all about him...he was doomed. Sort of.

"So! What's your name? I'm Ethan." the boy extended his hand towards the other guy.

SPOILER!!: Blair

...soo...the boy's name is Dylan? Ethan looked from the new comer to the boy then to his hand. Well, this is pretty awkward. Ethan instead looked at the girl and said: "Haai!" was he too enthusiastic? Awkward times two.

"Yeah! I mean, it's really nice to take care of them and to give them a home when you actually don't need to, if you know what I mean? And also, I really love kittens. I have one named Lola.." And Alec got another smile. Although, at this point, Delilah knew she should just shut up. Because, Alec was going to think that she was insane, IF he didn't already think she was. Anyway. "So, how many animals do you have living at your place right now?"

Hmm? Did she get all her school things? Delilah nodded with a smile. "Yeah! I'm done with all my shopping." The girl said proudly. And, she did it all on her own, with no help whatsoever. It was something to be proud of, right? Especially when she wasn't from around here. "How about you?"

"Well..." Delilah couldn't help but look up at the dragons once again and couldn't help but give a light shiver. Alec was right.. it was like they were watching your every move. Creepy! Dreadful!fountain was extremely dreadful. Why was this HERE again? Right in the middle of Diagon Alley? "Do you think we should just move away? I don't think I want to stand here any longer.."

Text Cut: But Delilah and kitties! <3

Alec did know what she meant, yeah. That wasn't what made him feel a little better about his pretty lame story. No, it was the fact that Delilah... understood? Yeah. And thought that what the Summers men -- MEN -- did was a great thing. ... She did think that, right? "I'm really glad you think so," GRIN. "Really? How old is she?" And did the girl know that she could bring Lola to Hogwarts? And Alec could meet her... maybe. He had it all planned out. "We have... four at the moment. The two kitten, my puppy and my owl." Four wasn't too many, right?

Well, there went his idea of helping her. Grateful that he didn't mention his idea out loud, the boy raised his eyebrows, impressed. "You're good! I... had no idea where to get anything from when I first came," And it still took him a long time to figure things out. She... didn't need to know that. "I... had a lazy start so... I still have a lot of shopping to do."

The shiver was noticed and the boy tilted his head. Was she okay or...? He looked at her for a while and then up at the fountain and then back towards her. Move? Away? "Is it... making you uncomfortable?" Worst meeting place ever? He thought so.

However, Nova's usual pain infliction choice was pinching, so he had gotten off lightly.

He...uh....why was Nova SIGHING at him?! "I am interested. In....her. But she's working this summer. So I didn't want to just turn UP and her not be here and me look silly. I'mgoingtosendherflowersanyway." Not Avery's kind of flowers. He'd send Charlie a bunch of them, not any of those flower halo things that got in the way. "Wherever you'd like to go, nugget." Tristan grinned again, resting his arm around her shoulder.

He just wanted good food.

Nova made a face and rubbed at her arms a little. She was barely affected by the obnoxious hug, since Tristan seemed to be already drying under the summer sun. She glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. "Well, I'd hope that you're interested." Silly boys. Boys were ALL silly. All of them. However, then, she grinned. "That's a good idea. I like it. I like it so much. It's the best feeling when the boy you like sends you flowers."

Milo used to send her flowers all the time. Maybe that should have soured it for her? Hmm..

"Let's... go to the closest place we find." This was most definitely not her first time at Diagon, but, she just didn't remember enough to know where she was going or what she was looking for. "Should I be offended that all your nicknames for me have to do with how small I am?"

Mousey. Nugget. Hmm. She pinched him and grinned.

T appreciated Nova's comments. More so than her looks and the faces she gave him a lot of the time. "I'll send her flowers. I gave her flowers before and we put them in her hair." And then they'd talked about his thoughts and flying, and they'd flown too. But flowers. Yes, flowers. "I need to get ones almost as pretty as she is." Because, like he'd told Charlie... No flowers were prettier than her. It wasn't possible, and that was why she gave him big balls of nerves, and his rash.

"I can send you flowers too, you know?" If she would want them. He really didn't mind getting her flowers. Tristan did adore her.

Closest place? Right. "Lead the way?" If she chose it and didn't like the food, then it was more her fault than his and she had no reason to-OW! To pinch him. Crikey. Mean. "Nova Francesca!" Quit it with the violent acts on his skin. Next she'd have bitten him.

Among the crowd, and out of nowhere, a dark red symbol appears on the edge of the fountain. It looks like it's branded, shaped as two crossed lines.

A few minutes later, another similar symbol appears not far away on the cobblestones of the street.
