Bryson looked at her, frowning slightly, "I just can't win with you right now..." He sighed and took a step back from her.

Jewel crossed her arms and started glaring at that comment. She tapped her fingers against her arm, waiting to see what he was going to say next.

Bryson looked at her and sighed, "I don't know what you want me to say, Jewel... I'm trying to an-"
"You two having a lovers quarrel?" Olivia let out a laugh and looked to Bryson, "You wouldn't have to worry about such things with me, darling." She crossed her arms and had a smirk showing clearly.

Jewel looked at him and shook her head. She growled at Olivia, "We would have to be lovers to be having a lovers quarrel." She snarled, "I rather be dating a toad then him." She kept her arms crossed, "He had some errands to do and since he is my boss, I couldnt get out of it." At that she looked at Bryson. "May I finally be dismissed?"

Bryson looked at her, not able to tell whether she was joking or not but nodded to her question.
Olivia looked at Jewel, "Really?... Then you won't mind if I took him out tonight to show him what real fun is." She smirked and went to Bryson's side, wrapping an arm around her and kissed him, ignoring that his nose wrinkled in disgust, Jewel wouldn't be able to see that.

"Why would I care what two bosses do?" She replied dryly. Her heartbreak on her face would only be clear to Bryson, as she thought that he enjoyed the kiss, not seeing the wrinkled in disgust nose. "Since, I am dismissed, goodbye." At that, she turned and started to walk away.

Bryson glared at Olivia, "I want nothing to do with you, you devil." He wiped his mouth then went to Jewel, "Love, no... You know there's only one girl I'm crazy for," He reached for her hand, "Please..."

She moved her hand away, "No, go on the date with Olivia. I ain't with you." Jewel frowned and vanished.

"Jewels..." He sighed and walked limply out, ignoring Olivia calling for him. Bryson apperated away, his heart feeling shattered.

This is not what she was expecting in the slightest. The girl ran her free hand through her long black hair and sighed as a banchee was going off .. probablly the bell for the door, that didnt suprise ariana in the slightest. Holding onto Oakey's hand a bit tighter she looked around "plants!? she was not impressed "plants.. are you kidding.?" she was releaved yet slightly disapointed. "see love.. just plants." until she remembered one small minor detail....Oakey was terrified of plants.. she turned to look at him quickly "we can leave if you want....... go somewhere else." the last thing she wanted was him fainting in the center of the shop.

Right now he was still to focused on the kiss his cheek received. He was much easier to drag around places now that he loosened up. Well that was until he finally learned what was being sold in this shop.
His face turned pale, and a shiver ran down his spine. He instantly spotted all the dangerous plants.
That one there looked like it just licked it's lips, another looked like it at thorns in places he didn't think thorns would grow. He may have even felt something brush past his legs. The Greenhouse at Hogwarts at was like a safe Haven compared to here. Stuck in place he could hear Ariana saying they could leave. his head was nodding 'yes', but his feet were anchored in place and shaking.

Shane was at the far corner of the shop being stealthy when we heard the banshee buzzer ring. Hmm... who has decided to pay a visit to the beautiful plants of Knockturn Alley? Maybe Shane bargain the visitor with a few of his collected bloodroot from yesterday at an acceptable price. However when Shane decided to peek at the visitor, the first thing he noticed was a couple. To be specific, a young couple between the ages of, say, 16 and 18.

To be honest, that fact made it seem much more interesting.

He raised an eyebrow at the two of them. Obviously if they were here to canoodle then Shane knew how to deal with that. He knew that the minds of young people in love acted differently. He wouldn't be surprised if the girl began eating the boy's face off while snogging him. So, as if he was observing carefully, Shane continued to stare at them.

Ariana began to walk towards the door pulling him but he wouldn't move.. he was scared still! "well come on now." she said before she realized he was seemingly staring off into god knows where. she waved her hand in front of his face "oakey.. helllo? Are you alright?" of course he was NOT alright Ariana, you just dragged him into his worst nightmare. he.Was.Not.ok.

He stood still his eyes watching the plants and suddenly Ariana felt as if she were being watched.. but plants couldn't "see" like with eyes could they? she let go of oakey's hand which she had been holding onto all day and turned quickly, standing in front of him defensively.. cause you know.. she could take on some plants..


"Who is there?" the girl said blowing some hair out of her face, she kept looking around the shop but saw plants, plants, plants and Moar plants!

this place was a bit creepy and not at all cool like she expected it to be..

she took a step forward then she saw him.. "why are you just standing there staring at us!?" really, did he not of anything better to do.. like Work! Staring is rude, dontchu know." she stated matter of factly... she had no idea who this guy was.. but then she remembered where she was and what oakey said about the people down here and she took a step or two back and bumped right into him..

o.O

"Sorry!" she was forever knocking into this boy. "Sorry." she said turning to make sure she didn't knock him over.. though if she did she'd feel real bad cause you know..



a plant could get him.

Humming to himself, Aldred Mordaunt made his way down Knockturn Alley without trouble. He used to frequent this area a few years back before he shipped himself far from Europe. He had a great time exploring the East, until it was cut short when he got news of Cassandra—his brother’s wife’s sister got in trouble. Everything went downhill when the family learned that the woman was dead. Foul play was definitely involved…and Catherine wanted revenge. Mordred’s mother did not want to involve Aldrich, thus she turned to Aldred for help.

The man’s facial expression turned dark as he entered the premises of the Spiny Serpent and the screech of a banshee went off. He paused for a moment to look at his surroundings and noticed two kids visiting the store. He has his own reasons why he told Mordred over and over again not to follow him down Knockturn Alley that day, and he smirked at the idea of these kids being bold beyond their years. He moved over to a certain shelf and got himself some Belladona and Dragon dung. “Now where are the Alihotsy…” scanning the shelves, it seems that the store ran out of supply. Sure, he could get the said potion ingredient somewhere in Diagon Alley…but he’d definitely get raised eyebrows with his required amount. Ironically, Knockturn was his best bet…and he was safe here. He moved over to the counter and waited for the shopkeeper to attend his till. Perhaps they don’t have Alihotsy on display right now, and he’d instead just ask the man running this place to supply him with the said ingredient. As he carefully placed his items on the counter, he slowly turned his head again towards the couple, who were about Mordred’s age and to the man eyeing them.

“Feisty. Hmm.” Aldred thought of the young lady as he slowly turned his whole body around to face the three with a faint amused look. “…but a reckless one.” Aldred continued to stare at the three from the shadows.

Oh…and is that…a Venomous Tentacula behind the boy? Cue the signature Mordaunt smirk. This…is going to be one interesting trip.

The World around him was slowing itself down. Oakey continued to see plants now that probably weren't dangerous as threats to his life. It was all thanks to the feel of this Knockturn Alley Shop. He'd probably would not have done any better if the Spiny Serpent was located in Diagon Alley, but he'd be safe on the streets once he left. Getting out of the Spiny Serpent only meant more ominous feelings on the street. He felt Ariana's grip leave his hand, that brought him back to reality just a little. He was not one for someone he cared for to leave his grasp in situations he deemed dangerous. The Banshee Shriek of a bell finally snapped him completely out of his fear and he took a step back onto a vine of a venomous Tentacula plant. "Ari..." was all he managed before the plant retaliated and began to wrap around his ankle. He whipped his wand out it's holster and yelled "diffindo!" The Vine severed in two and fell to the floor while the rest of it retreated back.
Still white-faced and sweaty, Oakey rushed over to Ariana and grabbed her hand. "We're leaving. Sorry for the intrusion." He said to who ever it was Ariana was talking to. He couldn't tell, but didn't care. The man sitting in the shadows and that's where he could stay. He proceeded to drag Ariana back to the door.

OOC: Nobody is staffed in this shop so if you planned your charrie on buying something, please pretend like you've paid already. Thank you. =)

Rude?

Shane squinted his eyes at the girl. Did she not know where she was at the moment? Staring was, in all means, normal in this place. Also the fact that they seem to look a bit young to be in here. "It's not everyday you see children as young as you two in this part of the Alley," Shane said with a smirk. They didn't seem to look lost either. Shane was definitely liking this.

And then another person came in, only that he was older. Way older than the couple over there. Shane ignored him, seeing as he wasn't too interesting. He was just going to buy plants. Not worthy to behold. But Shane might be able to bargain his bloodroot to someone who is of age.

You know what was more amusing? Seeing a Venomous Tentacula behind the white-faced boy. Then he severed a vine from the Tentacula. Children, really? It could be seen in his face that Shane loathed children, no matter what age. "That is clearly not how you care for plants, boy," the man said dryly. "Your Herbology or whatever professor must've taught you." Severing a plant was a story, but leaving early was another. "Leaving so soon?" There were more plants to see, if the boy wasn't too chicken to explore the place.

One minute she had this, totally had this.. next there were spells flying and she was leaving!?

this didn't seem right. She looked up at the mad who was talking to them "well, you're seeing it today so just get over it." and stop staring Mr. Creeper. Really, she just didn't understand who this man thought he was really. If anything HE was the weird one.. he hung out down here and labeled himself as the weird one.. SHE was quite normal, well in her eyes she was anyway. She then looked up at Oakey and squeezed his hand as he grabbed for it, "it's alri.." and he was pulling her.. towards the door. she stopped the madness and turned to look at him "whoa whoa. Are you alright.. calm down." he was doing everything so quickly and Ariana couldn't process it all. the but her hands on either side of his face, "it's ok." but really what did she know... "why do YOU care if we leave so suddenly?" she asked the man in the shadows

it was in these instances that Oakey did not want Ariana to be fiesty. He would pull her along, but she stopped each time to spit words back at the stranger. "Ariana just ignore him." He was not worth their time, and speaking of time Five minutes were up, time to go."I-I'm okay." Oakey nudged her along further, "Idon'tcareforplantsthatkillpeople" Oakey said quickly and still in a cold-sweat. Besides he read in a book on Deadly Plants to cut the vine of a Venomous Tentacula if it tried to wrap around you.

Oakey's hand was touching the door back to Knockturn Alley, but yet again Ariana had to speak up in protest. "We're practically outside. Come on" Oakey turned around completely and wrapped his arm around her waist. "again I apologize for the intrusion. Hopewedon'tseeyouagain"
Hmm, maybe in his fear he could have chosen better word to leave on other than 'hope we don't see you again'

What did her mom want from this shop again? It had a bunch of plants in it and it smelled somewhat like fertilizer and that was all Mackenna knew about the situation. Sighing and shoving her hands into the pockets of her green military style jacket, the nineteen year old sighed grabbed a piece of parchment from her left. Opening the crinkled paper and inspecting her nails ~which were polished a cute shade of black~ the brown eyed girl started reading off the shopping list.

"Fertilizer? Gross. Belladonna and some Crup." Sighing and shoving the paper back into the pocket in anger, the tan girl started walking around, looking for the fertilizer first. Totally gross. It was probably for Kylie, her seven year old sister that had a totally weird habit of breeding plants until they were all around her room like a jungle. Yeah, there was no way the little blonde plant lover was her real sister. Except she totally was. They showed everyone the birth certificate hundreds of times ~every time she asked in fact~ and it seemed like the twerp was theirs. At lest the kid was nice. But that was beside the point. And the point was that Mackenna was now picking up plant supplies for her little sister instead of spending her day on stuff for herself like she had planned. Uggh, did her family have to bleed into every important aspect of their life?

Next came the crup, another plant that was going to take a minute to identify. And at that point, Mackenna wondered if she should put the plant down and leave the shop and say that she completely forgot to buy the poor kid's plants. Because of course she should. But it was time to be a ~good~ big sister apparently, and that meant that she needed to do good big sister things like buy her stupid little sister some stupid crup. Oh yeah, the music box she bought from Borgin and Burkes was soooo being used tonight. But anyway, plant. Picking that up, the tan girl pursed her pink lips together and decided quickly that she would conveniently 'forget' the fertilizer. At least for now anyway.

Okay, Belladonna, check. Not that hard right? Well it was for someone who was wearing boots she didn't want to get dirty. They were leather, and her favorites. And it was hard for someone who really didn't want to be in this shop that long either.

Herbology was not her best subject as a kid, and it kind of sucked to be here getting plants for someone when the teen had a hard time identifying them. Was this even Belladonna or was this some kind of deadly plant that was going to eat her sister in the middle of the night? Who knew at this point? Okay, so the black haired girl knew way more than that, but still. Plants were not an easy thing for her.

Braedon led Puck to a place where it had magical plants and creatures. As he walked down Knockturn Alley and thought it was getting creepy but this store caught his eye. "Come on let's go in here.." he said to Puck pointing at this shop. As he entered he heard the loud noise that came with it. "Bloody Merlin.." he said covering his ears. Man that noise like almost killed his eardrums. He shook his head to get his hearing back to normal. He wondered if Puck felt the same way. He looked at her and chuckled.

Then as he entered the shop and looked at the plants and thought this place was pretty cool. Then the creatures caught his eye and he decided to go look at them. "I guess this place isn't soo badd." he muttered to Puck.

That noise was awful, horrendous and absolutely ear splitting. Her eyes were watering and a loud buzz rang in her ears, as she stood there slightly bewildered. There was a buzzing in her ear again as she stood there blinking and shaking her head.

It was impossible to tell what was going on. Was there someone behind her? All she could hear was the thump-fwoosh thump-fwoosh thump-fwoosh of her heart and even then she more heard it. There was that sound again, it sounded as if she had landed herself into an alternate universe where dogs slept on top of their houses.

“WHAT?” She practically yelled at Braedon as she stood there blinking the buzzing still happening. She continued with the ritual of shaking her head and even began to smack it as well. “Whose face isn’t so bad?” She asked as she had resorted to reading lips.

O_______O.......

As Braedon's ears were just getting adjusted to the loud noise he got another one when Puck yelled right in his ear. He stood back a bit and shook his ears out. "Bloody merlin remind me when you are gonna yell in my ear next time.." he said. She probably couldn't hear him anyways. He chuckled at her attempt to read his lips. "Your face is pretty good actually. I was saying before this place isn't soo bad." he said looking at the creatures and plants. "You wanna check out the Hippogriffs over there?" he pointed to them.

The buzzing had stopped really, well mostly it was now just like an itch to her ear. She stood there again shook her head to clear her ears and then heard words. Actual non-garbled words!

Wait, why was he talking about yelling? She thought and tipped her head to the side. “Oh I’m sorry” she muttered and flushed slightly. “Oh shut it, Gallagher” Puck laughed even if a part of her was fearing what would Vinnie do if she heard him say that? But she liked Vinnie, so she didn’t want to know what would happen.

“It isn’t – and sure…lets go bow to those lovely beasts” she grinned and made her way over toward the Hippogriffs.

Braedon chuckled at Puck when she was trying to get her hearing back to normal. "It is cool Puck.." he said waving off her apology. "I actually couldn't really hear normally till a few seconds ago." he laughed and joked a bit. "I will not shut it Miss your last names escapes me.." he said now his insult going down the toilet. "Ah I will come up with something better soon!" he said.

Brae was happy Puck wanted to go to the Hippogriffs. He led her to the creatures and just looked at them for a view. He never really seen one before so he was cautious. Probably Puck had seen them at Hogwarts but this was all very new to him. "They look pretty cool. I have only seen them in pictures but not up close.." he told Puck honestly. "I wonder what it is like to ride one. I mean I heard stories from Kace but I want to experience it myself." he said still looking at the creatures.

Awesome, he'd made it inside unno---

WOOWEEWOOWEEWOOWEE!

Ahhhh damn. Great great great great, there was a nice, obnoxiously loud alarm that went off anytime anyone entered this place. Perfect. Why had he chosen the Spiny Serpent, of all places?!! Sander was wincing and covering his ears as he hurried down an aisle, still invisible.

He'd probably just blown his cover waaaay out of the water and tripped some sort of silent signal that went straight to the ministry but.... maybe there was a back door?! He scurried toward the far side of the shop, carelessly knocking into and out of shelves with his lanky elbows. Oops. Hopefully none of those ingredients were valuable...
