Default F&Bs Bookshelves

A large number of bookshelves cover every space within Flourish & Blotts. Some sag under the weight of the books, but they hold strong thanks to a strengthening charm. Every subject that you can think of can be found within these shelves. The first floor holds books that further the knowledge, while the second floor holds books for more pleasurable reading. Small signs hang from the ceiling or hover around the top of the bookshelves, indicating which subjects can be found in each particular area. Feel free to browse and don't be afraid to let your imagination take you to great heights!

OOC: Since all good libraries and such have a cat, Elizabeth has brought her two kittens (Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer) with her to the bookshop. So always keep an eye underfoot for a flash of fur that may or may not be one or both playful kitties. And while they're technically NPCs, feel free to interact with them/play out their actions to your heart's content <3

They had been visiting shops at Diagonally for their Hogwarts supplies when Amara had spotted the Quidditch supplies store. Zyanya had been visibly miffed that she'd practically dumped her the moment she set eyes on them. In Amara's defence, they were really beautiful pieces of brooms on the display. And it wasn't as if I'd entirely dismissed her, just didn't want to leave for like.... another half an hour. Sure getting owls was interesting too, but not nearly good as those brooms.

Amara walked into Flourish and Blogs without a hesitation, she knew Zyanya too well to know that her next stop would be for textbooks. She thought she saw her, disappearing at the left shelves at the far end. Clutching the tiny package in her hand Amara walked towards the shelves.

As she turned at the corner, she spotted Zyanya.

"OI ZYANYA!"

OOPS. LIBRARY.

And TWO BOYS.

Zyanya and two boys. Amara blinked. Here she was thinking Zyanya would be angry at her, but she was already making new friends. Hopefully.

Or are they troubling her?

She eyed the two new guys with curiosity and caution.

Aaron replied to the girl's other question. This was all going so well! Aaron was talking to two new friends! His first two friends that were gonna be attending Hogwarts together!

!!!

They could be that one trio of friends!! Like the famous trio, Harry, Hermione, and Ron! Except they probably wouldn't go on as cool of adventures, and they probably would never even become remotely famous compared to the others,
but still! A kid can dream! Either way they would go on all sorts of fun trips and explorations when they actually arrived at the castle. Aaron couldn't help but smile even more at the thought of it.

That's when another girl had joined the fray. And boy was she pretty! Wide eyes, grinning from ear to ear, Aaron called over "HI!!! Come join us! You can be another new friend, friend of Z's!!!!" He didn't know her name, so what else was he supposed to call her? Girl? That sounded too...boring...but oh well. It is what it is.
Z? Zyanya had never had a nickname. She and Amara had once tried to come up with one, but with disastrous results. But Z? She had never thought of that. She decided she liked it.

"Nice to meet you, Aaron and Daniel!" She said, grinning and returning Aaron's handshake. She had two friends and they were first years too! Oh, this was going to be an exciting year!

That's when she heard someone yelling her name. She immediately knew who it was, not because she recognized the voice but because only Amara would yell in a book shop. Amara had always been a "Act first, Think later" kind of person. Zyanya was the quieter and more thoughtful of the two.

But then, the impulsiveness was what she loved about her sister. Then she remembered that Amara had ditched her to go to get Quidditch supplies. Amara knew that she hated being left alone and had still done it. Zyanya would have happily gone with her to the shop after buying their books. But no, Amara just couldn't wait!

Although, Zyanya wouldn't have met the boys if not for that and she was proud that she had talked to them all on her own. It was usually Amara who did the talking. And she never could stay mad at her twin for long.

When Aaron called Amara over, she said, "Oh, she's not my friend. I mean, she is, but she is also my twin sister." It was not surprising that Aaron had thought that. Amara and Zyanya looked nothing alike, except for their eyes which was the same shade of dark brown.

They were at the history section. The boys looked about her age. One of them was kinda tensed looking while the other was just excited. Before she could think anything else, one of the boys called her over. The excited one. He was grinning widely. That's more like my type. Amara gave him a hearty smile as she walked towards the group.

What did he call Zyanya? Z ?

Since when was she Z? And what will I be then, A ?


As she joined them, she heard Zyanya explain their relationship. New friends... of Zyanya and she didn't know them. This is new.

"Hi there.." she said to the happy little boy, ".. I see you are already friends with my sister! I'm Amara". Her twin had done a wonderful job, being out there and making new friends. Amara had left her just for about half an hour and Zyanya usually took more than that to speak to someone. Amara was proud, she gave her twin an approving nod.

"Pleased to see you here... Z" she winked at her twin. "I knew you'd be around here somewhere" Amara hoped that she'd have forgotten about the little incident and not to sit through an hour of Zyanya 's laments about her careless behaviour.

The Ravenclaw might have asked how she found the time but with everything she herself had going, Jessa knew all too well how manageable juggling interests with school work could be.

"Which is your favourite so far? Culture wise, I mean." As far as research went, culture wasn't that high on Jessa's list but it didn't mean she didn't like hearing about other people's interests in them.

She spared a glance toward the fireplace nearby and its seats. Pretty slow day in the bookshop by the looks of it. Good. She liked the feeling of having the place nearly all to herself. The tranquility was worth noting.

Jessa waited for her to be done gathering her books before moving over to the comfy chairs. "Will you try out for the play again?" It'd seemed like a fun idea at the time, but now that she'd seen all the work it took and how much time it took from literally everything else--not to mention Professor Myer's inability to work well and treat people nicely under pressure--Jessa would need to do some serious considering before trying again.
Juni had her stack of books set back in no time. ”No, I’m getting ready to start a new one. But I’ve not really decided what I want to do yet.” She still had so many on her list that she wanted to learn. She wasn’t sure which one should take top priority on her list. Did it matter what her next one was?

”Mexico, I liked the music, the mariachi bands are nice.” That was pretty cool. But she liked France a lot better. Even when she was little she had always wanted to go to Paris. When that happened she was on cloud nine.

She grabbed her books up and followed the older Ravenclaw girl over to the fireplace. Luckily no one else was sitting there. ”I don’t know. I might I guess it depends on what the play is going to be, what about you?” She did really enjoy it and thought that maybe she had found her calling, acting. But she wasn’t sure if she liked it enough for that.

curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog

Maurice Gladin - or Jimmy, as he preferred - hadn't been to Diagon Alley in...well, two years or so. That summer he had stayed at the Leaky and he had still sort of been seeing Scarlett before she discovered he had been, ahem, less than the perfect boyfriend. To put it nicely. That hadn't been his fault at ALL of course, as he had never considered them an exclusive item. It was a miscommunication. Regardless, he hadn't been around the area in quite some time, doing most of his school shopping in France before he made the move over to London.

He was in his Healing Program, and it was JUST AS AWESOME as he had hoped it would be. He had adjusted magnificently to being a uni student, as he had predicted he would. He lived primarily on pastries and coffee, staying up late to finish assignments, and so far he had been getting good marks. This university thing was EASY. He had no clue why people complained about it.

Still, he did have ONE small slip up he had to deal with - he'd forgotten to buy one of the books needed for his potions class. So, he found himself at the bookstore in Diagon Alley to pick it up, assuming they had it of course. They should though, right? It WAS the biggest wizarding bookstore in the area. After this, he planned to do some people watching at the Leaky while reading the Prophet, and maybe poke around that Knockturn Alley everyone talked about. He was a fully fledged adult now, and able to snoop around if he pleased...

SOOOOOOOO

Maia was suppose to be looking for a job, which was what she told her younger brother when she left the house this morning, but she got distracted. Whoops? On her way through Diagon Alley, she had a nice dance party in the streets while singing “Walking On Sunshine.” SHE WAS SO HAPPY! LIFE WAS FUN! LIFE WAS....

A POCKET FULL OF SUNSHINE!

She stopped in front of the bookstore and peeked him. Maybe they were hiring?! If she at least turned in her application once, she could tell Asher that she tried because she DID TRY. Kind of..... sort of.

She pushes through the doors and made her way to the counter only to get stopped by a very cute person, but he wasn’t as cute as the grumpy guy she had ran into at the tattoo parlor a while back ago. But still -

“HI!” She exclaimed as she approached him. “Whatcha looking for? Maybe I can help.”

Jimmy was about to shoo off the woman, who he assumed was a salesperson, and let her know that he didn't need any help. He was perfectly capable of finding books on his own. But when he looked up, the first thing he noticed was - rainbow hair. Wow. That was NEW. He blinked, then took in the rest of her, and found himself grinning.

The day just got a WHOLE lot more interesting.

"Oh, no, I'm ok, thank you," he told her, leaning against the bookshelf with a small smile. "Do you work here?" he asked. He doubted she was just THAT friendly to offer help to whoever she had come across. "And I really like your hair, by the way," he told her, nodding towards it.

Instead of latching on to that part of the conversation, she instead inquired about his other work. "Non-profit work? What exactly is it that you do?"

She let out a low chuckle. "You don't sound very convincing." She pointed out. "I'm actually getting over some health issues, so I imagine that I don't look my best at the moment. However, I just had to get out of my home and do a bit of shopping."

"Triplets? They must be quite the handful." She remarked, casting a smile down at the young boy. "I do miss Hogwarts. I'm sure they're excited to attend. Though I'm sure you've warned them to follow all rules, even in the library." She spoke lightly, followed by a smile and a wink.

"No children." She continued on. "I never was fortunate enough to have them." She paused and then went on thoughtfully. "Though I suppose all of the students at Hogwarts were my children."
Oops; apparently she wasn't getting his humor about the world domination thing. To which Dominic just shrugged it off and figured it was easier to that than to explain. What exactly is it he did? Rip off the general public and claim it was for non-profit. No, no, not really. "Honestly, it's a lot of tedious things. Working with corporations and magical companies. Exchanging of ideas. It seems boring." And was super hard to explain in part because his RPer never elaborated too much on the details *coughs*

Dominic smiled bashfully. Right, not convincing. Low cough here from the man, because apparently she caught him. "I'm just ... its weird... seeing you... after all this time? I'm sorry to hear that though." Was that why she left? Wait, she left after him, so clearly she couldn't take being at Hogwarts without him.

"They've ... gotten better," Dominic laughed at about her subtle prod about warning his children to follow the rules. "Mistakes happen. They got to make their own and learn from them." He said simply, a boyish grin on his face.

"Ah ... well I guess you could say that." It was kind of a weird thought to him, and yet, he had thought of Macadrian Shackleton and Ethan Truebridge as his adoptive parents at times while he was at Hogwarts, so he reckoned it did make sense.

OH BOY.

Oh boy, oh boy, OH BOY.

Maia could tell this boy was trouble by that grin on his face after he looked at her. She was ditzy, but she was not that ditzy, Mister Cute Face. Or maybe she was because she was still standing there, looking at that cute face, grinning right back at him.

"Do... do I work here? I wish," she replied back. For real, she hoped whoever ran this place would at least give her a chance... if they were hiring, that is. She hated being POOR. It sucked! It could be worse though. She could be homeless again, but she had an awesome little brother who took care of her. Maybe, just maybe, she could hit up her newfound older brother for some cash. HMMMMMMM.

Oh, hair compliment! It, of course, made her smile even more. "Why thank you, cute face!" It was acceptable to call him that since she didn't know his name, right? "What sort of books are you looking for?" She glanced at the bookshelf to see what section they were at.

Oh, so this girl was just really NICE then. Interesting. It never really occurred to Jimmy to just HELP other people who were in the general vicinity. Jimmy wondered if that meant he was wasting his time here - nice girls generally didn't hang around him for long, but he had nothing else to do! He smiled at her again and held out a hand for a friendly shake. "You can call me Jimmy, although, I mean, I won't be opposed if you keep complimenting me on my face," he said, throwing in a little wink just for the hell of it. He couldn't stop himself! It was that 1/8 veela charm coming out.

"Um, a potions book. On advanced regeneration potions...you know, for skin, organs, etc. I'm in Pre-Healing studies at uni here in London," he explained, taking a moment to brag about himself for a bit. It was his favorite thing, after all.

He had made no attempt to explain his world domination comment, so Angela firmly decided that it had been a joke. She listened attentively as Dominic described his duties with the nonprofit. "Yes, I can imagine that the business side of things can be a bit tedious. I do hope that you enjoy at least some aspect of it. It's never pleasant to have a boring job." She wouldn't know though. All her life she had been a librarian and had enjoyed encouraging children to broaden their horizons through books.

Angela gave a small smile at Dominic's comment. "I imagine it is, but I'm sure you don't see many of your classmates from Hogwarts? London is rather large after all." She paused, and then added "Did you marry someone who was in your class?"

Dominic had appeared a bit stiff at first, but with a smile that seemed to take a few years away from his face, the man seemed more relaxed. "You are right. That is a philosophy that so many people find difficult to grasp. Everyone makes mistakes and though we try our best to prevent others from making them, sometimes it is necessary to let them follow their own path."

She glanced down again at the boy. "What's your name, young man?"

After their previous stop at Sugarplums for a chocolate frog to calm down their antsy toddler, Addison had lead her family into Flourish and Blotts. She hoped to be able to pick out a few children's books quickly before they headed home. Starting the little ones off with a loving of reading had always been her goal, it had worked well with their oldest son and now she was doing the same with the three younger ones.

"What do you think about this book? I think Reagan might really enjoy it?" Addison held out a book a children's wizarding book on fairytales featuring unicorns and other cute creatures for her Connor to have a look at. "I think she would really like all the creatures in it, don't you?"

Just a few feet away completely within her eyes sight was little nine month Keighley in her stroller babbling away as she sucked on her fingers.

Leave it to Addison to lead them to the bookstore. Not for the last time did Connor wonder how she hadn't ended up in Ravenclaw. She always had been bookish, his wife. And how much he loved her. He still held little Ryder's hand while he took a closer look at the selected book. "I think she would. We should get it for her.'' Their elder daughter was having some time spent with her friends.

Con looked down at Ryder who was busily and messily licking away at the Chocolate Frog they had gotten him from Sugarplum's. "Are there any colouring books? I think Ryder would like entertaining himself with that.'' Even if the younger son was too young to fully understand what colouring books were all about. But Con would teach him.

Good they were in agreement about the children's book. "I think we should. She's really coming to enjoy sitting down and listening to stories... the other day I caught her trying to read one of her books to Keighley," Addison laughed at the memory. "She was making up her own story based off of the pictures in the book but it was really very sweet." A wonderful moment between young siblings that she would never forget.

Addison caught sight of their little boys mess chocolate covered hands and laughed softly. "I believe so. I think their just in the next aisle over." She nodded her head towards the aisle to the left not very far from the stroller their youngest daughter was sat in. "Why don't we let Ryder go stand beside the stroller with Keighley before he gets the books all chocolate covered and we can pick out a coloring book for him and a baby book for Keighley quickly since those are kept close together?"

Addison went to move the stroller to the end of the aisle so it would be in eyesight of where she would be looking in the next aisle.

This was one of the stories of his kids that Connor had not heard before and it made his heart melt. Growing up, he never had any siblings so he was glad that his kids had each other. "That's so nice of Reagan,'' he said proudly. "And cute. I bet Keighley enjoyed that. Didn't you, Keighley?'' He reached out to tickle his daughter under her chin.

Kids were pretty messy eaters. Not that the man minded. With his wand and an incantation, Ryder would be clean. Though it would make no sense to do that right now because the toddler was bound to get dirty again. "Good idea. Ryder, come on. Stand by your sister.'' Con had no issues bringing Ryder closer to the stroller since he was still distracted by the Frog. "We'll be able to keep an eye on them.'' Since Addison had moved the stroller. "Let's go.''

Addison knew just how important it was to her husband for their children to be very close with one another. It was little things like that though that always caught her off guard but made her heart melt. "They're all growing up so fast..." It was hard to believe their oldest was already half-way through with his time at Hogwarts. "She did. She was so quiet while Reagan read to her." Keighley giggled up at her daddy giving him a wide smile.

"Alright, Ryder. You be a good boy and stay right here with Keighley, daddy and I will be right there where you can still see us." Just a few feet away down the aisle to select a coloring book along with a picture book. "My thoughts exactly. We can see them perfectly still."

Addison made her way quickly towards the middle of the aisle where different children's coloring books where kept. "Which do you think he would like, Con?" she asked glancing at her husband.

"They are,'' Connor agreed. "Before we know it, Koen will be off to University.'' Then these little ones will be starting Hogwarts not too long after. He couldn't help but adore his youngest daughter when she giggled. They sounded like music to his ears. "You like when your sister reads to you, don't you? Maybe you'll develop a fondness for books and you'll be brilliant like your mommy.''

At the shelves, Connor kept glancing back at the kids. They seemed perfectly safe so he turned his attention, for the moment, to the books. "Let's try something with dragons. Probably Koen might have an influence on him. "For Keighley we could get a few books with easy words so that she can start learning to read.'' Con was hoping she would like books a lot.

"Good, Merlin... I don't even want to think about that day coming so soon." Their oldest heading off to University was only in a matter of just over three more terms, the boy already being a fourth year. "The years are already flying right by." Keighley's smile widened and her giggles grew more loud almost as if she knew her daddy was talking about her. "Just like you as well. If I do recall correctly AND I do, you are incredibly smart too."

Dragons. Her husband had to be right with that. "That sounds like a perfect fit for him. Koen is always talking to them about dragons and music." Addison would be very surprised if the boys career path strayed him away from dragons or music. "That's a wonderful idea. Perhaps an alphabet one as well to really get her started? Numbers and colors too?" Nothing wrong with starting them off on the right foot early.

She too glanced over at the children whom seemed to be doing just fine, Ryder still munching on his chocolate frog and Keighley who seemed to be falling asleep in her stroller now.

Connor grinned. "It seems like we're going to be very old soon.'' Merlin! There was nothing to remind a parent of their age than their kids growing up. He hadn't realised he was aging until he pointed that out to Addison. But then he gave her a knowing look. "Maybe so but as I recall, I used to call you Ms Know-It-All.'' It was probably the nickname he had used the most on her.

"Yes, it does so dragons for him and if you see something that has to do with music?'' Koen's passions those were and Con supported them one hundred percent. He nodded. "Those will be perfect. Shapes too? I think there are books with those as well. Let's see if we can find them. They should all be in one spot.'' Since they were toddlers and small children.

His gaze followed his wife's. The smaller half of their children seemed to be alright. With a satisfied smile, he turned to help look for the books.

"Old? I'm not old, you're old," she teased laughing. That was Addison Anders, always trying to keep a topic light and not in the least bit upsetting. Oh, Merlin he brought up the nickname. Addi cringed and shook her hand waving a hand at him. "Ugh, don't remind me. You used that more then my actual name when we were in Hogwarts."

The blonde nodded turning her gaze back onto the display of coloring books. "Ryder would love a book with music... Koen really tried to instill that passion in all of them." Their eldest was always playing his guitar for the younger ones. "Yes, shapes too," she agreed. Finding those books wasn't to hard and she plucked a few different ones from a shelf to show him. "What do you think of these ones?" Simple picture books pertaining colors, numbers, letters and shapes. "There's one about different creatures as well."

Now to find the books for Ryder.

But he stuck to just calling her by her proper name now.

She knew their children so well. All Connor could do was to agree with her choices. "They're great,'' he said with approval. "Here. Let me hold them while you check on the other books.'' The man cast another look in the kids' direction. They were still occupied in their own way.

The little girl was bored. Her Mummy had said it was time for her other friends to leave and it left her playroom rather empty. When would Korpsit bring her more friends? Why was it taking so long?

The 6 year old huffed her way down the alley, peering in through the occasional shop window hoping something would catch her eyes. If this failed she would go to Florean's and convince the shopkeeper to give her an ice-cream cone then she would go to the playground and make pretend should she not find any children there.

On her way by the book shop, a familiar title caught her attention through the glass. It would have been enough for Noah if her eyes didn't next settle on a baby in a stroller and another little one. Babies were fun. You could put them in little dresses and stuff bottles in their mouths--just about anything really.

The little girl paused a moment, trying to see if they had grown ups nearby like her Mum had told her about, but when she didn't immediately see any, Noah sidled on over and popped the little one from the stroller. "You're a heavy one." She commented, finding most babies heavy when she herself did not have such a sturdy stature. She turned to walk away but stopped and looked to the other kid. "You wanna come play too?"

She knew their children so well. All Connor could do was to agree with her choices. "They're great,'' he said with approval. "Here. Let me hold them while you check on the other books.'' The man cast another look in the kids' direction. They were still occupied in their own way.

The 6 year old huffed her way down the alley, peering in through the occasional shop window hoping something would catch her eyes. If this failed she would go to Florean's and convince the shopkeeper to give her an ice-cream cone then she would go to the playground and make pretend should she not find any children there.

On her way by the book shop, a familiar title caught her attention through the glass. It would have been enough for Noah if her eyes didn't next settle on a baby in a stroller and another little one. Babies were fun. You could put them in little dresses and stuff bottles in their mouths--just about anything really.

The little girl paused a moment, trying to see if they had grown ups nearby like her Mum had told her about, but when she didn't immediately see any, Noah sidled on over and popped the little one from the stroller. "You're a heavy one." She commented, finding most babies heavy when she herself did not have such a sturdy stature. She turned to walk away but stopped and looked to the other kid. "You wanna come play too?"


Even at their age Connor could still make her cheeks flush just like when she was a young girl. "Hush, you," she laughed softly lightly swatting at his arm. They were perfect together. Everyone said so. Even back in school everyone seemed to know they would end up together... everyone that is... but them. Until it happened. They had been together ever since. "Yeah, yeah. It's not my fault I prided myself in being the smartest." She had wanted to know everything.

With her husbands approval of the books she had selected so far she smiled. "Great. Thanks." Nodding she handed over the books she had already pulled from the shelf. "The kids are okay, yes?" Out the corner of her eye she had noticed him glance that way. Knowing Connor as well as she did she knew if there was a problem at all he wouldn't still being standing there beside her. So she had no trouble in pulling the children's book of creatures of the shelf and passing that one to his well.

"Now we just need the coloring books for Ryder..." Addison moved a little further down the aisle but still in sight of her babies to where the coloring books were sectioned. It only took about a minute or so for her to find a dragon one. Pulling it from the shelf she flipped through the pages. "Does this look easy enough for him? The drawings seem to be large enough, yes?" Not that it mattered really with Ryder being so young but she had asked anyway. Connor's opinion was always very important to her.

Connor smirked as his arm was swatted. He still loved to tease Addison about anything. Especially when it involved her brilliance. He never did it to ridicule her and she knew how awfully proud of her he was. Even when she had been Division Head at the Ministry and had been his boss.

Holding onto the books, Connor looked toward the kids. "They are,'' he informed Addison. Ryder was about halfway through his Chocolate Frog and seemed very content. The youngest son's eyes were transfixed upon his sister. At that time, the man did not see any little girl approaching them. Even if he had, he'd think nothing of it. Kids were drawn to kids.

Satisfied, Connor followed his wife. He was still letting her choose the books. He peered at the one she was holding. "Seems good enough. I think he has crayons at home so we don't need to get any of those.''


Ryder just looked at the new child. He giggled, chocolatey goo dribbling down his chin. He didn't understand why she was holding his sister. Innocent Ryder Jude Anders watched her walk away but when she turned around, he simply giggled again. Yes, he was willing to go. He took steps towards the girl.

Nova looked around for a second. there were so many books! Nova wondered if she had read all of them at home as a part of her "duties". she picked one up out of pure randomness. The grand book of the Stars and the Night. Nova recognized this as one of the books her father used to have in his study at home. she wondered what had happened to her brothers and sisters, when she left after the row. quietly she walked down the rows of books, until one caught her eye. you would never have saw it. the book was hidden in a crack near the end of the book shelf. reaching onto her tiptoes she grabbed the book. sweeping away the dust she read the title carefully reconizing that the book was written in an old language she had studied. The Story of the Morningstars, The people among the stars. Holding it tightly she walked quickly towards the counter.

That smirk. Gosh, how she loved it. Even when they were kids. Connor's smirk was nearly as adorable as his smile... not the one he usually gave her but that brief fleeting hint of a smile that played across his lips whenever she did something he liked or thought was cute. The one from way back before they even got together and he acted like he hated the world. Those had been the moments she had lived for. Now their life was full of laughter, smiles and teasing. Everyday was something special.

With the confirmation from her husband that their little ones were doing just fine, the blonde felt no need to double check. Instead her focused on the very simple task at hand. Getting a few coloring books. "Wonderful." She looked over the small stack of coloring books and little picture books they had selected. "I think we're ready to get going then, unless there's anything else you see that you think they would enjoy?" They had gotten what they came for but it wasn't unlike the two of them to spoil their children and get more then what they had said they would.
