Default Malkin's Back Room

Past the curtained doorway directly behind the counter stands another world. At least, it could seem that way to the casual observer that is used to the tidiness and brightness of the rest of Madame Malkin's. It's not to say the large room isn't bright, as the pale yellow walls that Aliceara redid once she bought the shop do give it a bit of cheerfulness. But the magical sewing machines spread around the room, interspersed with cutting tables and racks of robes and other clothing give it a bit of a sense of artful chaos. And in one corner is tucked a small desk that Aliceara uses for any paperwork she needs to deal with: orders, personal messages, and the like. Hidden halfway underneath the desk is a cushioned bed for her kneazle kitten, Alexander, as well.

Default Louisa/Laila ;) better late than never, right?
Shoe!Girl │ Rebel Ravie │ Confundus Queen │ RP Addict

It wasn’t everyday one had to conduct an interview. At least, not when she was actually the one conducting the interview. Aliceara had actually been the subject of several in the past, but most of those had been before she’d taken over the shop and she’d been acting and modeling. Therefore, whatever happened today was going to be interesting, since she’d essentially both found out that Camelia was going to be leaving her and found a possible replacement practically all in one day. The interview was basically just to see if the one interested actually seemed like she’d be a good fit. Not that Aliceara was worried, since most people managed to assist her quite well in the past. It was just interesting she remembered the girl having been in the shop on quite different occasions not that long ago, which almost made her feel old. Almost. She was nowhere near actually being old, and she wasn’t intending on ever being so.

Either way, things had finally quieted down in Diagon Alley, which meant she’d have the time to actually have this meeting, so she’d sent Isis with a message to ask Louisa if she’d like to come down for a bit. The back room wasn’t really set up for meetings, but it was better than starting things off on the main floor. Quieter, too, since she’d shut down the charms running the sewing machines for a while. It was almost too quiet, honestly, and she slipped a shoe off to idly pet Alexander, curled up on his bed under her desk, as she waited. The message had said to just head back here after she arrived, so all that was left was waiting for the bell over the door. Either it would be her or a customer, but either way, it would be something to occupy her time.

It was Louisa's first official interview, not counting Yearbook's ones. And considering that it was a clothing shop, she spent near an hour and a half trying to pick a suitable outfit for this. She wasn't a tomboy but she wasn't a fashionable girl either, and only Merlin knew that she needed this job for both financial reasons and as a distraction. Wearing something between formal and casual, keeping her hair down and her cats home, the former Ravenclaw walked down the streets of Diagon Alley that remarkably were less busy and less loud from two weeks ago when the kids swarmed those shops. She was a kid, too, once. Funny how things go in life, right? This was the very shopkeeper who sold her the school uniform seven years ago.

She took the last turn and saw Madame Malkins' sign from a few meters away. Her nerves, which rarely were weak, started to work and her hands started to sweat as they toyed with the bag. Her legs, however, were sure and the high heeled shoes clanked on the pavement until she reached her destination. Louisa pushed open the door causing the bell to ring, and following the instructions of the message Mrs. Ravenswood sent she cautiously headed for the counter (where her job was going to take place if Ali liked her enough) and looked for a back-room door.

Pushing the curtain away, mostly to get it out of her way, the eighteen years old gasped, a faint breath of surprise. She didn't expect the door to be hidden here, heh. Clearing her throat, she knocked softly, "Mrs. Ravenswood?"

Shoe!Girl │ Rebel Ravie │ Confundus Queen │ RP Addict

Luckily for her, although not so much for Alexander as she had stopped petting the kneazle and slipped her shoes back on, Aliceara hadn’t had to wait long until she’d heard the bell ring over the main door, signaling the arrival of someone into the shop. She’d stayed seated for a few seconds longer, though, continuing to just listen for any other indications to whether it was Miss Carter or a customer on the other side of the curtain. The soft gasp she had heard only a second or two after the bell had sounded made her assume the former, and she smiled a bit to herself as it was followed by both a knock and a voice. Apparently she had been correct, but even as she thought about going over and opening the door to let her back, her kneazle had gotten up long enough to walk the couple of feet to plant himself directly on top of her feet. At least her toes, but either way it appeared he was being determined not to let her leave her desk.

“You can come back,” she called out, instead, waiting for the girl to step into the room and then sending her a smile. Alexander could act like a spoiled brat if he so wished, but she wasn’t going to allow him to postpone this meeting/interview. Hopefully Ms. Carter didn’t mind felines.“Sit anywhere you’d like, and you can call me Aliceara. Ms. Ravenswood if you’d prefer, but Mrs. Ravenswood is my mother.” She was hardly married, especially as she still wasn’t entirely sure what was going on with Sebastian, and even if that was serious, she still wasn’t married. Therefore, she wasn’t deserving of that title, and it sounded odd anyhow. It sounded old, and while she had to acknowledge she was somewhat significantly older than Ms. Carter, she still wasn’t that old.

Default ~~~ New Scene ~~~
Dalliesa | Ab-Bot | Hogwarts Trojan War |

Mittens, hats, scarves, tights in green and red and... ugh. She was sick of all the stupid customers today! Not just because they kept moving the carefully stacked clothes on the shelves and off the racks, but because there were SO many of them. That was the downside of holidays approaching. Good thing it was just a wizarding clothes shop, otherwise she'd never be able to hang out in the backroom.

Like she was doing at the moment.

Louisa made space at one of the cutting tables for her boys to sit on and NOT ruin anything for Aliceara. The woman was nice and too polite to scold Louisa but that didn't give the former Ravenclaw the liberty to let her Gryffindors to go rawr in the room. She would've been so bubbly and excited and all over the place if she was the same Louisa two years ago, but now she had her own place, her own job, and her own troubled heart. Things change and life forces change on you.

At least she made them cookies... five cookies for all three of them. She was too impatient to do more but cared enough to try.

Default And the spectacular trio returns :D
"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

Adam felt good to be back in England. Not that he hadn't been enjoying his time in the states or his ministry job there, but England, and particularly Diagon Alley held such fond memories. Not to mention it took him back to that time when he was so lost and confused about everything in his life, and to be able to see that he hadn't gotten past all of that was definitely reason enough to smile.

And to add icing and sprinkles to the cake he was seeing his best mates Louisa and Paulie. Seriously what could be better than that? Adam approached the back room at Madam Malkins that Louisa had written to him to go to when he got there. Making sure he had the right door Adam knocked before pushing it open.

Adam couldn't stop a smile from instantly spreading across his face when he spotted Louisa. The fact that they had gone through all the emotional ups and downs of life and could still be this close was a rare gift. Without even getting out a real hello Adam had closed the small space between them, pulling Louisa into a huge hug. Of course Adam needed to remind himself that he wasn't the lanky guy that he used to be but in fact was sporting quite the set of muscles...particularly in the shoulders and abdomen. Hehe.

Adam released Louisa, the smile still on his face. "It's so good to see you. I take it Paulie is late as usual?" Adam said with a little chuckle.

Paulie was totally, TOTALLY pumped to see his best friends. It had been ages! Much, much too long. How had the trio survived this long apart? Who knew. Paulie could not answer this.

Without even a knock, the former Gryffindor turned the handle and swung the door open just in time to catch Adam and Louisa 'separating.' He cocked an eyebrow and the edges of his mouth hinted at a smirk. "Had to sneak in a quick snog before ol' Paulie walked in, huh, you two?" The young man said as he casually walked on over to the pair. hehe. Oh, look at the three of them.. all grown up! Adam was all muscley and could probably bench a werewolf, Louisa was all slim and curvy in her jeans and wore a little more make-up and the new hair-do, and then Paulie was quite fit and filled out himself, thanks to boot camp! They'd turned out to be some fine specimiiines.

And Paulie needed hugs from them BOTH. "Peter Parker!" He said, almost reprimandingly, as he grabbed the guy and gave him a big man hug. "You've been gallivantin' in America for far too long." It was about time he saw his best mate!! When he pulled back from that hug, he grinned and wrapped Louisa in a tight hug next. "And you, Helen!" He lifted her feet off the ground and dropped her back down. "Troy must be keepin' you too busy 'cause I never get to see you either!" Okay, and maybe this was partly his fault, too, with the air force and all. It was ALL their faults! And all growing up's fault..

He grabbed a cookie and leaned against the wall, and just as he was about to take a bite, he stopped. He could SMELL the burnt crispness of it before he even tasted it! Lifting an eyebrow, he looked at Louisa. "What'd ya do, cook these over a dragon's flame?" But he took a bite, a very crunchy bite, anyway.

Was she allowed to be too mushy and teary and squeaky? It wasn't her nature but Adam was away for a year... and a couple months! Louisa didn't even hesitate to wrap her arms around him and bury her head into his shoulder - which by the way was a new hug since he was even taller than before and a lot more broader. She liked him all the same though. She held on for a second before letting go and mimicking him playfully, "'Good to see you'?" A swat was coming his way when the door was open again. The door saved him.

Or not. She rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Yeah and you shouldn't have broken our hot moment." But Paulie was here too!!! Less squeaky but just as happy. While he had Adam in a hug, Louisa raised her eyebrows at his choice of words. "You know, for a Gryffindor you use a lot of big words." Gallivant. She loved his choice of words! "I was about to swat him because he thinks it's 'good to see me'." She feigned glaring at the poor Adam, "It should be great to see me! After all this time." She went ahead and swatted his muscly arm. ouch.

Her arms were around Paulie quickly, laughing because he did that lifting-her-off-the-ground-because-he-can hug. She loved this one too! It made her feel young and spoiled. "It's you to blame, my dear. I'm here all the time, the most accessible wizarding place in the world. I'm not the one flying in the sky." She turned toward Adam, "Or hiding in America." So basically it was their fault they didn't meet soon. Like always, it was their fault.

OH! Her cookies! Louisa beamed when Paulie took one and quickly offered Adam the bag. Her beam didn't last for more than two SECONDS, thank you very much. Not. "What do you mean dragon's flame. They're exactly the way I meant them to be." She stuck her nose up in the air and shoved a cookie into her mouth, willing to suffer the bitter taste of burnt dough. At least she used dough, hehe.

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

Adam didn't have a chance to give a questioning eyebrow raise to Louisa, who he was pretty sure was going to punch him in the arm or something, when Paulie came bursting through the knock. They were a bit older, but in all they were pretty much the same. Perhaps it was the fact that the three of them were together again that it took them all back to their childish personalities at Hogwarts. Or maybe they would always just be children at heart hehe.

"Seriously Paulie. Way to put a moment out," Adam said with mock annoyance. Paulie was probably the only person that could make comments like that without the familiar pang of the romantic relationship with Louisa that had been complicated and stressful. But in the end it all worked out, so that was what mattered, right?

Adam returned Paulie's hug, giving me a firm couple of pats on the back before releasing him. "Well you know Cyclops someone has got to keep an eye on things over there." Adam's attention focused back over to Louisa who was now explaining the look Adam had received just moment's before Paulie had come in. Oh...that was all? Adam was busy giving a mild eye roll when he felt what he guessed was supposed to be a punch, but next to Louisa's slender little fist it didn't really feel like much. Adam mock flinched in pain. "Geeze Louisa! Good to see you're still so violent when you're angry," Adam said with a little smirk. "And showing your Ravenclaw roots...getting all sensitive over a bit of semantics." Besides Adam didn't really use the word great all that much. Well...at least he didn't think he did? Who knew.

Ahh...so of course it would be Paulie and Adam's fault that their reunion had been prolonged. Eh...perhaps that was a bit true. "I know, I know. But we're all reunited now so no point in getting your wand in a knot over it."

Adam gave a smile at the bag of cookies being offered to him, forgetting that he hadn't eaten in quite a while and a bit of food would be lovely. Adam took two for good measure, and was about to bite into it when Paulie let out a comment that made Adam look down slightly at the cookie in his hand. Eh..there was nothing wrong with having a little bit of crunch to your cookie, right? Adam bit down, the process giving his teeth a slight workout since the cookie was in fact quite burnt, but nevertheless Adam swallowed and smiled at Louisa. Adam had a feeling Louisa hadn't really meant to burn the cookies, but it was the thought that counted. "Thanks Louisa...they're great...even if they are a little crispy," Adam said with a smirk."[/b]

Adam plopped down into one of the open chairs around the table, taking another bite of the hockey puckcookie. "So, how are things with you two? How's working in DA and how's the flying going?"

"Welp, someone had to put an end to your tongue-tying," Paulie noted casually. And who better than him? He gave a smirk and a quiet laugh when Louisa commented on his big words. "Not as dumb as I look, huh?" Yes, Gryffindors could be SMART, too. Kinda.. Although his academics hadn't really illustrated this, had they? Ah well! Clearly, courage was his most salient characteristic, according to an old hat.

He grinned over at Adam. "Now, now, Adam! Didn't ya realize that ya have to use hyperboles and exclamation marks when reuniting with Helen of Hogwarts?!" Case and point! He laughed.

And perhaps he and Adam were more to blame for the whole separation thing lately. Meh. Maybe they ought to all plan a time to take off from whatever they were doing and have a holiday together. Easier said than done, but Paulie missed their trio very much. 'Great..? A little crispy..?' Leave it to Adam to be the nice guy, hehe. Paulie, however, crinkled his nose and grabbed a conveniently nearby napkin to spit the mouthful into.

"Geeze Louise! Helen, that was not the right dough or maybe ya used the wrong ingredients, 'cause that thing isn't just burnt." Even if it were baked properly, that weird taste would still be there. "Stick to books." Not baking.. heh.

And then the inquiries about flying came about, and Paulie responded. "It's all good. I'm gettin' the hang of it pretty quickly, actually, and I'm not afraid of planes anymore." It had only taken him years to finally confront and overcome that fear. It was quite strange, though, he admitted, to be scared of something, yet go in to a profession that directly involved that fear. "Just sucks not gettin' to see you guys and Tori and my mum more often. The other guys - and couple girls - are cool, though, for the most part." Paulie just didn't care for the guys who thought they were all that and a bag of chips. "What about you, Parker? Mister Auror."

She exaggerated a beam at them BOTH; yes she was physical when she needed to make a point, and of course she needed hyperbole. Four years was enough to know a person this much, it seemed. GOOD. And that Ravenclaw sensitive thing got Adam an eyeroll. "I just thought his boot camp made him empty in the head and full everywhere else." Talking about Paulie as if he wasn't there. Classic.

Aw! Louisa made sure not to flinch when she swallowed the cookie and leaned to give Adam a cheek kiss, "Thank you, darling. I'm glad someone appreciates original culinary... stuff." Stuff? She had no idea what to call this fail attempt at cooking something. The important point was to shun Paulie and cherish Adam, heh. "I don't understand how it didn't work like in the book I used, though." She frowned down at the two cookies left in the bag. "I followed the exact steps, maybe my oven was broken." Or one of the spells went slightly off. She shrugged and tossed the bag to the side, "Paulie you're taking the two cookies home. I would like miss Trolly to try them." Geddit? A cross between Tori and troll? Yes? And it was sarcasm of course, that he'd take them home. Tori didn't deserve to try Louisa's cookies.

Okay, the question was so ordinary and she expected to come BUT she got nervous anyways. Her eyes squinted at Paulie again, trying to send signals to never ever mention the he who-must-not-be-named-yet issue. NO. Don't even think about it. Louisa had it all figured out without bringing it up now. Maybe she'd tell Adam later but not now.

Oh phew, he talked about his life. Good. "We need to meet your mum, by the way." The woman should meet the awesome best friends of her son. It made sense in Louisa's head, especially since Paulie and his mum are pretty close.

"I'm doing good too. Moved out to my own flat in a small town in Ambleside. It's on the lake shore!" Cool, huh? The flat itself was nothing fancy but the location was superb. "OH! And Vashti had her twins a couple of months ago!" Louisa announced brightly, clapping her hands together. "Dallin and Ellie had their own twins too few days ago! It was so nerve-racking." She moved a lock of hair over her shoulder impatiently, "They let me go to the hopsital and I was there with Treyen and their other friend, Marie. I wanted to be the first to hold the babies when they came... out." Sounded more disgusting than intended. "But they were so fragile and small! I couldn't do it, so I just watched Dallin hold them." Rocking her legs with a wide grin on her face. SEE? Everything was great and happy ever-afters with everyone.

"Yeah, what about you? What have you been doing besides protecting the weak and feeding the hungry in America?" Coz that was what being an Auror is like to her. She stretched one of her legs to the chair in front of her to poke Adam's knee, "Don't leave anything; Grandpa, dad, girls stuff, and JB." Go.

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

Adam put up his hands in a mock apologetic fashion. "I will make a note to be overly obnoxious about it the next time in order to make up for my faux pas this time," Adam said with a bemused grin.

Adam looked down at the half of a cookie that was left in his hand as Paulie commented that perhaps Louisa ought to stick with books. Eh...perhaps she should. Now that he had given the cookie a chance to settle it was leaving a bit of a funky after taste in his mouth. But ah well...again, it was the thought that counted. "Did you use magic to make them, or did you use a muggle book?" Adam personally found muggle cookies to be just as good, and slightly less complicated since there wasn't the risk of magic going awry with them. Well...at least that held to be true with the simpler cookies. But what did Adam know. He certainly wasn't an expert when it came to cooking, and in all honesty he wasn't even sure that his would have turned out any better.

Adam couldn't help but let out a chuckle at Louisa's improv nickname for Tori. "I'm glad to hear that things are still going well with the two of you," Adam said with a smile. "And that's great about the whole flying thing. I've flown in planes before, but I am sure the feeling of actually flying one yourself in a lot more enthralling than just your standard commercial air experience." Perhaps at some point Paulie could take Adam and Louisa with him...not when he was doing work related stuff of course. Although the three of them would probably make quite the team hehe.

"Kids?" Adam said, nearly choking on the last bit of cookie he had in his mouth. "Wow...that's...wow." Personally the idea of having one child, let alone two at this age was absolutely terrifying. Adam could still barely keep himself in order let alone having to worry about a small child that is completely helpless and needs constant tending. "Pass along my congratulations the next time you see them," Adam said with a genuine after the bit of shock had worn off.

How was everything with him? "Everything is good. JB is just as energetic and crazy as always. I've sort of magically enchanted this one area of our studio apartment so that when he goes through this little flap door he's in a room that looks like it's outdoors. Unfortunately there's not really any backyard space where I am so it's the best that I could do for him. He seems content though." Old JB. Adam had to admit to himself that he would probably be rather lonely if it weren't for JB. As to his grandfather Adam gave a shrug. "I haven't heard a word from him or my father. It's better that way though. I am sure that my grandfather would love to assert his opinion on how I am a horrible auror, and all the things I am doing wrong, blah, blah, blah." Drama that was not needed. "But my auror job has been really exciting. I...uh...I can't really talk about what we've been doing but it's been great. I...um...well...don't get your hopes up because I don't know if it'll end up working out, but I applied for a job as an auror at the Ministry here. I'm not sure if there's any openings or anything, but...fingers crossed. Frank, the guy that is in charge of training me and such is actually the one that suggested it."

Paulie gave a curt laugh. "Nope. Full everywhere!" Except for his stomach, seeing as he didn't even have a WHOLE cookie to eat. Ahem hem. He was taking two home for Miss Trolly? "Hmm? I'm going back to a princess, so ya better save the biscuits for yourself, Trolly." hehe. Sheesh, Paulisa were being so mean today! All in good fun, of course. They'd kept their teasing in for so long that they simply had to make up for it all today.

Adam and Louisa had never met his mum? Weird! He guessed he wasn't home much anymore, though, and usually he saw the two at Hogwarts, so.. yeah. "Whenever ya want. Or whenever works for us all, I guess. I'm sure she'd be really happy to finally meet you guys." Put some faces to names and all.

Paulie gave a small smile and nodded to Adam. "Flying yourself is definitely different than flying as a passenger on a commercial airplane." Toooootally different. It was addictive, really. "We've had to go skydiving as part of training, and it was awesome, by the way! We should all go, just for kicks." Perhaps they'd have to PUSH Louisa out of the plane, but she was coming, too.

Like Adam, Paulie was pretty stunned at the whole twins thing. These people were only kids themselves, really! Or at least Paulie still felt like a kid most of the time. "Whoa, yeah. I want kids, but not 'til I'm older." But, to each his own. Or her own. Either way, they all seemed like they'd make good parents. Goodbye social life, though..

Paulie looked to Louisa, then to Adam, giving them both the same 'really?' look. And then he went on and said it. "Really? Both of ya just happened to breeze over the topic of romantic interests and relationships." Clearly, they did this knowingly. Well, Paulie was aware of Louisa and Vicky, but they all might as well all spill now. "Who've ya got your eye on, Parker, hmm? Surely there's somebody." Oh, oh! But that was good news indeed from Adam! C'mon, British Ministry, of COURSE you want Adam Fitzgerald! How much better of a candidate could you get? Paulie's face instantly brightened when Adam mentioned it. "No way! Man, I hope ya get it! I'll be relocating again soon, and I might be goin' to a base that's pretty close to here." And how amazing would that be? Fingers crossed!

Louisa glared at Paulie for a moment when he used her own nickname for Tori, then her glare softened and she smiled. "I like it." Not the nickname, but the fact that he was willing to be harsh with his close friends for his girlfriend. He did not hesitate, and she must've trusted him not to. Louisa didn't say any of this though, maybe Paulie was the subject she needed to focus on instead of Treyen and Ellie (who did not appreciate her putting their relationship under the microscope). She averted her attention quickly to Adam then, "Nothing muggle. I used magic, I like to stick to my witchness status. It's why I looked for a wizarding estate to rent a flat from." Her legs rocked back and forth where she sat on the table. "Fun fact, our previous Headmaster manages the business." Heh, how ironic, huh? He was still her boss in a way.

She nodded her head approvingly at meeting Paulie's mum. "We must do it. Maybe after new year's. You know, when a very great friend has their birthday and kind of in need of a couple of new books." Also goes by the name of Louisa. But she thought it'd be too much to add that bit. Heh. As for flying plans, HA! "There is a reason why I didn't join in on the conversation." She made a 'duh' expression along with a shrug. "I'm not willing to jump off an airplane either, so count me out. I love my life no matter how messed up it is." NOPE. She was not going.

Merlin's giddy aunt, those two were so typical boys. Louisa made a deal of rolling her eyes at them. "Yeah, very Gryffindory of you two to go pale over babies." She probably was pale too at the hospital but they didn't know that. "Anyways, I'm not into the baby thing either. Basically because I've heard what it is like." Easy for them to say when they didn't have to do anything but hold their wives' hands.

Adam's brief summary of this previous year was very good! Louisa was nodding all the way, and she brightened up even more when he mentioned ministry potential job. "That's great! We get to see you more!" And Paulie too!? She wanted to jump and hook their arms around their necks in a big group hug! But they weren't seated that close so... big hug later.

Or not.

Idiot former Head Boy! Louisa glared at him again. Well yeah they passed the relationship topic because they didn't want to talk about it. "I didn't breeze over anything because there's nothing that you don't know already." GLARING DAGGERS. So, it's basically Adam's turn. "You, on the other side, have been pretty secretive about your career which's understandable but the girls business? Heck no." Spill.

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

Well that made sense. After all it wasn't always the easiest thing living with people who you couldn't really be yourself around. And when you had a job that was completely magically oriented and already relatively secretive even to those that knew about magic, that just made the whole thing even harder. "That would be great to meet your mom," Adam said with a nod of the head before taking the last bite of his cookie and swallowing. "Meet the kind woman that provided us with such great companionship," Adam said, giving Paulie a punch in the shoulder.

Err...skydiving? Adam wasn't so sure about that. Flying was one thing but intentionally diving out of a plane? Adam really wasn't all that big on heights to begin with so the idea of hurling himself willing out of an object that was already incredibly high above the ground just did not seem like such a good idea. "I'm not so sure about the skydiving...definitely the flying trip with you as our pilot...but that part I think I'll pass."

"I think it is completely sane to go pale at the idea of having children at this age," Adam said, adjusting himself in his seat slightly. "After all you said it yourself, you don't want kids right now, and neither do we. The idea of it is just...terrifying." Not that one was ever really prepared for having children but at the same time right now definitely didn't even seem like remotely the right time for him to have a kid in his life. JB was about the only thing he was willing to take care of, or at least felt like he was capable of taking complete care of.

Adam grinned. He was glad that they were both so enthusiastic about the possibility of him being closer. And when Paulie mentioned that he too might be moving closer the grin widened even more. "It really would be great if the three of us were closer. Then there would really be no excuses for us not to see each other."

Adam couldn't help but notice the not so subtly threatening glance that Louisa shot at Paulie when he brought up the fact that they were skimping on the whole relationship business. As usual Adam was left out of the loop. Seriously...why did that always seem to happen? Louisa and Adam broke up ages ago, and clearly that whole complicated mess was gone, so why was everyone so hesitant to tell him stuff? "There wasn't any mention of it because there is nothing to tell," Adam said with a shrug. "The whole auror thing has got me working hours that don't allow for an opportunity to get out and socialize really. And when I'm at the ministry around other girls there's just not the time." Simple as that. "I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is literally the first vacation I have had since we've graduated from Hogwarts."

"You on the other hand," Adam said, giving Louisa raised eyebrows, "seem like you have something that is worth sharing with the group. So...spill. Or should I really just say me since I take it from Paulie's face that he already knows a lot more than I do."

Chin high, shoulders back, she was ready to start her internship. Malkin's seemed like the perfect place to apply and she would give the perfect impression. This was the perfect shop, surrounding by all these fancy robes put a smile on her face, one of the rare ones. It felt good getting out of the house for a change. Anything was better than that cramped space with disagreeable people.

While she stood waiting in the back room she kept her hands to her side at all times, just trying not to fidget. That was an ill practice that annoyed some people.

Evangeline looked around the room, determined not to touch anything. Was she that early? Where were the others? This wasn't the wrong shop was it?? Good merlin, someone tell her she hadn't actually been assigned to that Quidditch Shop or something. Barbaric sport that one.

Marci BARGED into the shop, singing loudly to the latest Weird Sisters' song, and skipping over to the back room to take off her hat and throw off her bag-- MERLIN'S FLUFFY SOCKS who was that? Blinking quickly, the twenty one year old just stood there at the door, staring at the other girl.

OH NO. Did Ali replace her? Was the woman sick of her constant singing and talking and poking her nose in all the corners and other people's business? Did she change her mind and didn't want an experimental beauty product enthusiast in her shop? Was it because Marci didn't get along with Alexander the kneazle? She said she was sorry for stepping on its tail! It wasn't her fault the kneazle seemed to follow her around everywhere! "Who are you?" Marci was READY to fight for her job! She didn't want to disappoint her parents AND grandfather! He kept saying how proud he was she stayed in a job for a complete year so far! Please don't fire her!

... where was her wand? She could sack the girl and tie her tongue forever!

The others needed to hurry, she could only stand perfectly still for so long before giving up. There were nice things in the shop that she wanted to take a look at. Might as well since standing here was proving to be a huge waste of her time.

Evangeline was on her way to the door when it opened. Was this person an intern too? She looked a bit too old to be but perhaps she was just held back a few times. Whatever her circumstance was she was rushing into questions. "Never heard of 'hello' or 'good morning'?" She, herself, found both acceptable and in fact necessary if someone wanted answers from her. Evangeline wasn't one to go giving out her information to strangers who didn't look all that much older than her. It just wasn't something she did.

The young girl took a moment to look her over. Not much of a threat. "We can start this again. Good morning, pleasure running into you back here. Are you an intern too? My name happens to be Evangeline and you are?"

Take notes girly, that was how you started a conversation.

Normally, Aliceara would have already been in the shop, getting things ready and just generally making sure that it all looked completely neat and tidy to start off the day, but she’d had to stop off at Gringotts and that had taken longer than she’d expected. Everything seemed to be taking longer than normal, and she wondered if it had anything to do with the reports that had been in the Prophet earlier in the year. In any case, she’d rushed into the shop hoping that she hadn’t made the new interns wait too long, startling Alexander, who had been prowling near the front entrance. That, combined with the singing she’d heard moments later, told her that Marci had arrived. She wasn’t entirely certain why her kneazle was so fascinated by her assistant, but it had provided her with some level of amusement during the slow months. She just had to hope he would stay out of people’s way once things got busy, and she was hoping that was going to be the case sooner rather than later.

In any case, the kneazle had continued his dust stalking or whatever he’d been doing as she made her way toward the back room to stow her purse and make sure Marci was ready to focus on business. In time to hear a rather awkward conversation coming through the curtain, and sighed before stepping through it. This was going to be interesting. “Good morning Marci, and I’m assuming you are Miss Harper?,” she said, giving both girls a smile. “Thank you for being so punctual,” she added, before turning back to her young assistant. “We’ve been granted a couple of interns for the summer, and Miss Harper is one of them,” she explained, hoping to defuse whatever had been illogically going through the young woman’s mind. “I’ll begin the meeting once Miss Clifton arrives, which hopefully won’t take too much longer. Feel free to make yourself comfortable if you like.” Although there was a serious lack of chairs back here, aside from her desk chair, since the magical sewing machines didn’t need them and people rarely came back here except for restocking and stowing personal effects.

After finding out that she had gotten the internship in Diagon Alley, there had been a million things running through Roxie’s mind, more random comments than anything else but none which were about to be vocalized anytime soon because they weren’t exactly the most pleasant things in the world; then again she had never seen much of a point in pretending to be someone that she wasn’t since that had made about as much sense as diving into a freezing lake of water like the one that was around Durmstrang. Somehow the mere idea of being anywhere else but there hadn’t made sense to her though there was still a trip back home to Zurich to think about in the future considering it hadn’t been entirely known how long she would have been occupied in London. Nothing about the idea of London was bad, except for the minor thought of being around certain people but she was about to carefully handle that situation as to not end up in a whole other complicated mess that could have been avoided altogether, it was always best to tip toe around something to which she wasn’t looking to deal with; that was just how she had learned to handle a lot of things. Even if there still could have been a better way, she hadn’t managed to come across it yet so for now, things were about to continue just the way that she was used to.

Stepping into Diagon Alley made her blink for a second. How could something so busy and loud be the place where witches and wizards had hung out? It just really perplexed her although there wasn’t exactly much time to consider the answer to the question, nor did she actually care about the answer because she hadn’t had to be here all the time, there were plenty of other places to go but for the moment there wasn’t really anywhere else she could have escaped to since there was still a meeting with the person she was working for over the summer as well as whomever she had been working with. Things that only made her curious. Once she had managed to get out of the craziness that was the Alley, she immediately found herself right in front of Madame Malkins which was where she needed to be and without another moment passing; she stepped inside of the shop, immediately heading to the back room as had been informed in the letter. “Sorry I’m late, couldn’t find my way there for a second.” she commented, immediately pocketing her hands and looking around the room to see the other three people. As far as she was concerned, nothing else had needed to be said.

Nonononononoo, this girl had attitude TOO? But! Marci was thinking of more important things to care for greetings, she had the right to be frantic and straight to the point. Actually, the girl will soon appreciate the fact that Marci went straight to the point for once and didn't ramble a whole lot. "I--" But the blonde was cut off by Madame Ali walking in.

Marci was one second away from throwing herself at the woman's feet and beg for her job back. But.. that proved to not being necessary. Ignoring the kneazle and his lazy moving between her feet, Marci sighed dramatically, her hand coming up to her chest too, as Ali explained the situation. "OH! OHHH. That is so relieving, I thought you were firing me!" GIGGLE. "But at the same time, I knew you wouldn't do that without a heads-up notice, ya know? I brought us some scones today even! This time I didn't bake them myself, I'd rather eat something that dissolves in my mouth rather than plop down to my stomach like a stone." That was a sign that she gained her normal self back, the rambling. Marci turned to the girl next and extended her hand and taking Evangeline's hand in both of hers, "Nice to meet you Evangeline, I'm Marci. I'm Madame Aliceara's assistant and we're also friends. She lets me use those sewing machines sometimes when I keep quiet for a while. It's just like being at home here, I'm sure you'll like it. We're going to be great friends! I can feel it!!" No pauses to take breath or anything. Actually, by this point, Marci's lungs got used to it and managed without oxygen for a remarkably longer periods of time.

Someone else had arrived, and Marci WAVED at her enthusiastically before she decided to walk over and do the same excited handshaking, forcing the girl to take her hand out of her pocket. She didn't mind handshaking them before they even introduced themselves. They were going to be FRANDS! BFFs! Marci was all up for more friends and co-workers here! "HAI, it's okay, we just got here. I'm Marci, Madame Aliceara's assistant." She let go of the girls' hands and took a step back for the others to actually SEE the newcomer.

Also she had a lot to say, and to tell them about pretty much everything around here. She could summarize her year working in here right now, they could munch on her scones while she did so. But Marci wasn't rude or stupid or a big mouth brat - pffft - she went to stand next to the boss lady and wore her beaming face, Ali must have things to say first THEN Marci would share her interesting stories! MHMM.

She eyed the kneazle, though, and shuffled with her feet when he got closer. Leave me aloooooooooone, she was wearing her new sandals and she didn't want his fur all over her.

Evangeline raised an eyebrow at the girl who looked like she was about to speak. An introduction finally or would she at least take her advice on the greeting thing? Looks like she'd never know because the woman she quickly learned was the head shopkeeper here showed up. The girl put on a pleasant smile. Forced but pleasant. Smiling wasn't something she practiced often, you understand.

"It's no problem, being punctual's somewhat of a habit for me." Almost an OCD kind of thing really.

In an instant, the girl she'd perceived as rude was attacking her hand, shaking it nearly out of socket. Was THIS how she greeted people? Merlin's beard, it would have been better they skipped this part. The talking too. That could be skipped. No seriously, stop talking so much. Evangeline looked at the older girl, eyes slightly widened in shock. The assistant. Figured. "It's a pleasure meeting you Marci." It might not have been the complete truth but it wasn't a lie either.

Someone else walked in. The other intern by the looks of it. Evangeline looked at her only briefly before turning to the talker again. Great friends. With the way her mouth worked a mile a minute. Yeah, that'd be the day.

The meeting could begin now. No more talking from the bubbly one. It was the boss lady's turn.

Was she actually late? It was hard for Roxie to actually tell since she hadn’t bothered to wear a watch and as far as she could have seen, there wasn’t a clock in the Alley to tell her the time, maybe there was but she had not exactly been tall enough to notice; of course there wasn’t much of a point to start wearing heels constantly because she had actually enjoyed the fact that she was able to sneak up on people. That was the benefit to being so tiny. Plus she had also proved people wrong constantly especially on the soccer field, since normally goalies weren’t all of 5’ 2” but that wasn’t stopping her anyway, her attitude had made up for her height most times which always kept things interesting. Had they not been interesting, it would have been boring and boring was never fun. If she wanted boring, she would have been spending the entire summer studying. But honestly she wasn’t about to do that, not especially when Crash and Gizmo were back home with the other animals, having her pets definitely kept her distracted which sometimes was a better thing; especially after certain thoughts managed to cross her mind but it wasn’t anything she was about to discuss. Not when the only person she spoke with on more than one occasion had been away in Sweden for a little while, it would have been able to wait until whenever she thought it had been important.

Her eyes began to scan across the room to notice the people in the room and couldn’t help but notice someone younger who must have been the other intern, then the rather exuberant woman that had quite the introduction, a tiny grin flickered across her lips because apparently it seemed like someone hadn’t missed their hourly coffee. Of course it appeared that she hadn’t gotten to avoid the fun of introductions as her hands had practically been ripped right out of the pockets of her jeans, honestly if the woman wanted to shake hands properly, she would have been able to ask politely. Without being able to get a word in, she only blinked for a second in bewilderment at all the words coming out. Whoa, someone needed to slow down and a take a breath. “Oh good. I’m Roxie, it’s nice to meet you?” she practically said things in a question, adding the influx at the end to make it sound strange. Normally she could have controlled how her words sounded but this time, the sheer surprise of such an interesting introduction forced her to change course.

By now, Aliceara knew better than to try to interrupt Marci when the girl was on one of her speed-talking sprees. It was simpler just to wait until she’d tired herself out, especially as half of what had been said was rather amusing. The part about worrying that she’d been unceremoniously let go had received the slightest of amused expressions, anyway, even though she’d stayed quiet. Obviously she hadn’t replace d her, and in any case, she had yet to actually fire any of her assistants. There had been turnover, but it had all been the assistant’s choice. She’d glanced down as Alexander had shown up yet again, not surprisingly weaving between the hyper Marci’s legs instead of investigating the newcomers. That time would likely come as well, but for now she’d just hope he didn’t get stepped on again. That and hope that Marci didn’t scare off the interns, as she noticed another girl slipping into the room rather unobtrusively. “Diagon Alley can be a bit confusing at first, “ she said, giving the newcomer a smile as her assistant had finally taken a breath or several. Maybe they could actually have a normal conversation now, although she could always use a scone to quiet the other girl down if she needed to, which was nice of her to provide her own distraction.

“I’m happy to hear that, Evangeline,” she continued, as Miss Harper had spoken up. Punctuality was important when they could expect a lot of business in the next couple of months, which brought her back to glancing at the other girl. Hopefully she would find her way here soon enough, now that she’d found the shop once. “Anyway, I asked you here for a few reasons. To establish what your duties will be of course, but also so you could familiarize yourself with the shop before it gets busy.” She was assuming neither of them got flustered in a crowd, since if they did, things could get a bit disconcerting. The layout wasn’t difficult, but when one was forced to weave through groups of customers, they could forget what they were doing. “Are there any questions before we start, and enjoy the scones that Marci brought for us?” That she was going to agree with the description even before they’d been tasted. Any bakery had to make them better than her assistant did, and it was nice of her to think of that whether or not she’d known that they were taking on interns today.

She didn't come to Diagon Alley very often but even she knew this shop would get busy at this time of the year. It was smack in the middle of Hogwarts traffic. Every kid would need a set of robes but she didn't think many of them would have been willing to make the trek down to Knockturn Alley, a simply misunderstood place.

Placing her hands behind her back she listened carefully to everything Ms. Boss Lady was saying. It was important to get this stuff the first time around. Having to ask for her to repeat something would have been unacceptable.

So far nothing sounded too difficult so when asked whether or not she had any questions she gave a polite shake of her head. Nope. No questions, except one but it might have been seen as rude. The scones, were they obligated to enjoy them. She had reservations about trusting the baking of someone that bubbly. For all she knew it might have been something in the food. If it was, she wasn't interested to know.

Still, it wouldn't have been very polite to decline so she merely kept her mouth shut and waited for something else to happen. When would she be able to look at the robes?
