Silently swooping through the window, Furmy's wonky wing flapped slightly out of beat with the other. Tied to his left leg was a small envelope; after circling the room twice, he landed on the edge of the desk, scattering a couple of papers in the process as he held out his leg. Hop, hop, hop. Large owlish eyes set on Rafe Harper, he moved closer to the man and staaaaaared.

"Hoooo."

Louise looked up as another customer entered the shop, this one heading towards the service desk. The Strawberry blonde gave him a welcoming smile, her confidence gleaming through, before turning round and placing the catalog she was studying down in its respectful place.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

Pierce whipped his head up as he heard footsteps coming towards him. Turning his head in the direction of which they were coming, he realized it was only a woman. He pursed his lips together, momentarily relieved. Being an Auror wasn't as fun as he thought it would be. The feeling of constant paranoia was not very fun.

He stared at the woman, momentarily assessing her, before finally speaking. "Err.. i think so." he practically whispered. "I'm.. um.." errr.. what was he here for again? Day trip with Kara? Let's go with that. "What kind of deals do you have for a day's outing?" he spoke quietly once again.

Lottie! xD
 

Blink. Blink.

Lucy looked down, colour filling her cheeks like pink ink in water. Under lashes she looked at Desmond. "Uhm...One, for now." She squeaked looking at her jimmy choo shoes. Yay! She was gonna go to Florence. She looked up, the redness in her cheeks draining and she cracked a shy smile. "Great. That would be fantastic." Nights? Chewing her lip she thought over the days she had wanted. "Around two weeks?" She said a teensy bit unsure. She fiddled with the brochure in her hands.

Why was this man so...Quiet? That was strange. Were the people in Diagon Alley really this... Unusual. First strange pink hair dude, but at least she customers were polite and that was something the woman appreciated. Right now back to business. What was it he was after?

"Day trips? Well that depends. Where abouts were you specifically looking to go?" she asked. Her specialties were full scale holidays not day trips, but she could see what she could do. Provided of course he had at least some idea of where he wanted to visit. If not then the Brochure stnd might have been a good place to start.

Now they were finally getting somewhere.

This was, well exciting wasn't it? First day and she seemed to be doing well. But of course she didn't want to jinx it this early. The Strawberry Blonde smiled politely whilst listening to the other lady talk.

Only one? She glanced quickly at the man but nodded to signal she understood. "Okay so 14 nights for one person in a 4* hotel in Florence?" she repeated, just to make sure that she had the totals specifically correct. Didn't want to make a mistake now did we? "Any reason you wanted to go?" she asked, making polite conversation as she tallied up the price within her head. It was a good job she was a Ravenclaw in school wasn't it?

This was exciting.

Lucy opened up her bag and pulled out a hair brush, running it through her dark brown hair. She pulled out a scrunchy and pulled her hair back in a messy ponytail, letting a few locks of hair at the front just wave, not bothering to pull them back. She sighed a little and smiled at the Strawberry Blond.

"Yup." She nodded, playing with her ponytail, not daring to glance at Desmond. It would be stupid. They had only met a week or so ago. But she couldn't pretend that hope wasn't brewing inside her. "Uhm, I've got realtives there." She smiled. It was true. Her grandmother lived there. Lucy missed her even though they wrote all the time. And...It just so happened that an ex-boyfriend was her granny's neighbor...but of course that had nothing to do with it. She felt colour rise in her cheeks.

"I would actually prefer muggle transportation." Lucy smiled at the woman.

Liss approached the counter with a smile, and noticed that the shopkeep was busy helping another woman. She didn't want to interrupt or anything, so she leant against a sturdy-looking rack of magazines and brochures about the holiday pack to Transylvania. Interesting, but not what she was looking for. She wanted a nice, relaxing holiday after breaking up with William. Maybe somewhere with a nice spa?

Yeah, that would be nice. And an infinity pool like the one in that film, and a gorgeous beach. With a luxurious hotel and shops. Hah. Like she could afford that... still, she could fantasize, right? Maybe someone would leave her money or something... although, then someone would have to die. And that wasn't god, she didn't want anyone to die. So she'd have to make do with a normal holiday.

Sigh.

Louise smiled softly and nodded as she started to do some calculations. Right so the orginal prices were at weekly package prices, including the meals of the trip and all the other details. Seeing as it was only the one person going, with the Luxury package in a four star hotel, the price would be at the lower end of the spectrum.

"Okay so that's 200 Galleons a week. Your meals are included, so is all accomidation and travel" she smiled. Oh but she wanted Muggle transportation? Silly if you asked Louise, why waste some much hustle and bustle queueing at airports? "Yes I can do that. But it may mean adding a little more onto the price though. Flights can be expensive can't they?" the Strawberry Blonde calculated the rest within her head. "Yes so altogether that will cost you a total of 450 galleons" she grinned. Glad that was all over and done with now. The womans quill was scribbling away writing down all the details needed so she could make the necessary contacts she needed to book the actual holiday.

"Okay now all I need to know is when you would like to leave, date, times, any information that you wanted to add" her eyes darted over to the Quill that was working away by itself. "Then you can leave it all down to me and I will Owl you the final confirmation." Yes she could do that.

However the woman was momentarily distracted as another female walked into the travel agency. She smiled as the woman walked on over to the counter and as her other customer was working out further details, Louise decided to address the second woman.

"Can I help you?" the Redheaded shopkeeper asked kindly. She was surprised about the amount of people that apparently wanted a break in this place. It was amazing to see so many people wanting to travel.

Louise tore her eyes away from other customers in her shop and towards the door as it made a noise and someone walked in. A male customer apparently. The redhead smiled at him and waited for him to walk in over to the customer desk as she continued to serve the other customers.

"May I help you?" she asked her head tilted slightly to the side. She was so glad that there were still people around Diagon Alley who wanted to go and travel instead of staying here all the time.

Matthew didn't acknowledge the woman at first. He was content to stay back and glance at the brochures, maybe pick up one with a child in the picture. His skeptical blue eyes finally drifted over to her, as if contemplating her question and if she actually could help him, before he finally closed the gap between him and the customer desk.

"Yes....I need to book a vacation," Hm. She would need more information, wouldn't she. His eyes flicked over to the other customers briefly as he slowly took a seat. "Not sure where I...we would like to go." The man had to get used to saying that. "Any recommendations for a place that caters to children?"

Louise tucked a strand of hair that was in her face behind her ear as she thought of locations in which could be considered family friendly. She didn't have children....yet... so she didn't exactly have the strongest opinion on the matter. "Well we will count the Bermuda Triangle out then" the redhead joked. Even SHE wouldn't go there, even if it did sound incredibly thrilling to her. And this guy was incredibly tense. She raised an eyebrow momentarily but choose to lower it, hoping he'd be a little more..comfortable?

Five? Ah how she missed being so young. "Well I can do any country within Europe. It depended on whether you wanted to go.... Well Muggle style or true Wizarding style?" The latter meaning they could go hunting for yeti's or whatever it was that floated their boat.

"Well I will need to know what type of package you wanted to go for? Luxury can be anything up to a 5* hotel, meals included and all that malarky, or Cheapskate for those who really wanted to save money..." she informed him. Whichever one of them he wanted to go for would effect the price.

"How about France? Or Italy, Germany... Those type of Countries are great for Skiing..." if he knew what that was. "France has a Muggle Attraction called Disneyland. Perfect for Children. I can do tours around any European Country as well. Spain has better weather.." she continued.

See, now sport wasn't something Louise was terribly into. Sure she'd go watch a Quidditch game now and then, and she'd experienced a wide range of sports on her travels, but she certainly didn't have a love for them. "Well, if you were planning to go on a tour around.. Europe, i'm sure I could get you a special deal on a Quidditch match or two" because that was all Louise could think boys liked. She didn't have THE best people skills ever.

"Well that would be 300 galleons per week due to the amount of activities you are ding, hotels all included, attractions and meals as well..." she stated. And he was staying for 2 weeks right? Well touring.... Perfect then. Done!

Selina walked into her final stop of the day before she went and picked up her owl. Walking into the room she saw a man who wreaked of money and the arrogance of wealth spewing off his clothing. The store clerk seemed to be holding her tongue on the arrogance of the man and desperately trying to assist him in all of endeavors with his son.
While they talked Selina waited until finally she approached the clerk who seemed done.
"Excuse me? I'm going into my first year of Hogwarts and my Dad wanted to get her a trip to celebrate their honeymoon anniversary while I'm away. It's a surprise for her. I was sent here to set it up. Do you think you could help me?"

Matthew listened to her speak, calculating the price of the whole trip in the back of his mind simultaneously. Defiantly didn't sound like to much for the occasion. Nodding his head, he slipped a hand into his pocket. "How much of a deposit will I need to put down?" The man was pretty sure he had close to half the price she was asking on him. Came prepared he did.

Louise looked down as she heard a small voice talking towards her. The redheads eyebrow raised incredibly high as the girl continued to speak. "Aren't you a little young to be booking a holiday?" the twenty six year old asked looking straight at her. She must have been no older than eleven. She was pretty certain that she wouldn't be allowed to book a holiday without her parents being there.

"I could help you, but I don't think you'd be able to book it without your parents being here..." she told her with a gentle smile. She wasn't totally keen on children but this one was only a firstie and the shopkeeper didn't have it in her to move her on or anything. "Where were you intending on going?" she asked.

So they had a deal then? It was all sorted out, booked, done. Oh YES! The redhead smiled genuinely for one of the very few times in her life. She had actually got a complete order. "I ask for at least a quarter deposit, if you wanted to put down more thats perfectly fine by me.." she told him.
