Default Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions



Madam Malkin's the premiere location for quality robes. Although predominately known for providing Hogwarts students with uniforms, Malkin's also provides other robes to the Wizarding World for all functions -- formal and informal. Once in the doors you'll notice all of the racks around the shop, as well as heavy wooden furniture throughout for resting while looking for robes.

The space may look cluttered, but upon further inspection you'll notice that there is an order and flow making it easier to find the items you seek. In the back of the shop you will find dressing rooms to try on your latest find. Along the wall you will find Hogwarts apparel and accessories. Along the opposite wall are dress robes. In the middle sits a heavy wooden counter top, a glass bowl filled with candies sits beside a pad of paper where the shopkeeper will write up your total.

Can't find what you are looking for? Ask the shopkeeper and they'll be more than happy to help you find exactly what you're looking for. Still can't find what you’re looking for? Talk to the shopkeeper and they may be able to figure out how to do a customized order for you. Don't forget your socks.

13. He was 13 now, believe it or not. With turning another year older, Logan was starting to ... well, he was no longer the little firstie that he was just a few years ago. This summer, the blond had grown quite a bit. His height, his feet, his hair, everything was changing at such a fast pace. Even his voice had dropped, granted it still managed to crack from time to time. These were awkward and confusing times indeed.

Some of these changes are what brought him to Madam Malkin's. Normally his mum would have bought his clothes for him, but he wanted to look cool and wear clothes that properly fit. To make clothes shopping more bearable (because it honestly was the last thing he wanted to do), it was only appropriate to drag his bestie along and afterward splurge the rest of the money he had elsewhere.

The white shirt he was wearing was a smidge too small for him, a few buttons undone, but it did make him seem a little more fit than he was, at least in his opinion. As for the slacks, he thought they accentuated the things that mattered. "Thoughts?" he asked, checking himself out in the mirror.

She had ALWAYS thought she had brilliant style. The Kenmare Kestral shirts, stains and all, and the rainbow tights and skirts were a LOOK okay. But now that she was about to be a third year, perhaps it was time to dress a littleeee more maturely. She'd heard that rainbows made her look like a child enough times to know that while her love would always beat strongly for them, perhaps it was time to shake things up a little bit for her wardrobe.

Which was what had caused her to beg Papa for a wee bit of clothes spending money. And the sole promise to NOT use it on anymore candy or sweets. She'd actually even dipped into her candy fund to have a little bit more coin for today's purpose.

And while yes, she had not been invited to the boys' excursion today, her skills in eavesdropping had notified that they WOULD be shopping today so she'd invited herself along anyways. Stealthily though. She tried to get there first and hide in a stall with some clothes to try on before they arrived so they couldn't just immediately send her away. She wanted input on her options too, okay? With 13 had come the realization that people could be attractive and she wanted to be that as well. And told she was pretty, so perhaps some feedback from boys would be nice so she could achieve her goal this term.

Even if the boys were brother and brother adjacent. She assumed they were probably attractive, right? She was fairly certain she was, which meant Vasco HAD to be. And she had maybe sooooorta noticed Logan was fine, not that she'd be caught saying it out loud.

Hearing Logan ask for input on some clothes, she couldn't resist making her entrance now. Popping out in a gold dress that she had zero use for, she squinted to look at him, giving a once over even though the question was obviously not for her. "Did you forget how to put on a shirt? You missed buttons."

Clothes shopping was not his idea of an exciting afternoon. Yet here he stood inside Madame Malkin's trying on shirts and slacks. Why? Because his dad handed him coins and told him to get some new things that actually fit when he heard he was going along with Logan.

The thirteen year old wasn't sure how many shirts he had tried on before the one he had on now but turned his attention to his buddy when he spoke. "It looks fine to me." There was a nod of his head, brown hair falling into his eyes which made him run his hand through his hair to 'fix' it.

No sooner had the words left his mouth then everything went south. What was she doing here?! She wasn't supposed to be here. "Why are you here?" Vas was already narrowing his dark eyes at his twin. There was no way this was a coincidence. When it came to Vera there was no such thing.

Fine? Just ... fine? The size of the mirror could not simply hide the expression that appeared on Logan's face. It was one of absolute betrayal. Right off the top of his head, he could think of other words that could be used to describe himself, such as dashing, handsome, cool, a chick magnet. "You're such a great hype man, mate," he retorted with a huff and a quick movement to ruffle up his friend's hair because he knew it'd be annoying.

"By the way, that shirt looks sick, dude," the blond commented. Just so Vasco knew. "Maybe undo a button or roll up the sleeves or something."

His attention from his friend shifted the moment an unexpected voice sounded. Standing right there was his best friend's sister, only ... she looked ... That was Vera, yeah? ... The thirteen-year-old boy did a double take. ... Merlin, was it hot in here, or was it just him? ... Uhh.

"It's called having style, Vera. But, now that you mention it," he responded to her, layering on the sass with each syllable that oozed out of his mouth, "I think I could do without one more, yeah?" Pop went another button, and a smirk grew on his face with the raise of an eyebrow. "Better?"

"That's a bold choice though," Logan commented on her golden getup. Was that too nice? Probably. "I didn't know they made dresses for trolls."

Her twins response to her appearance was pretty much as to be expected, but as her usual... it was no deterrent to Vera. She just smiled at him and widened her eyes - the picture of innocence, as if semi-stalking her brother was NOT the most annoying thing she'd done today. But honestly... for her track record, just pseudo stalking was pretty dang good. "I followed you. I need new clothes too and I figured maaaaybe if I can stop YOU from looking like a mess, you can give me some input too." There was a good likelihood everything she tried he would tell her was terrible but she hadn't considered that yet.

Really, a fatal flaw in her not at all thought out plan. Go figure.

Ve crossed her arms and looked back to Logan as he spoke, the tone he was using already earning a hard eye roll from green eyes. Had she told Logan lately he was infuriating? No, definitely not - he might take it as a compliment. Or like she spared him any extra thought which she did not, ok? And the hands going to her face were not to cover any change in cheek color, it was simply to cover her eyes to really accentuate her next words. "I am blinded by the paleness. Please, do us all a favor and cover up." She reached for the nearby shelf and grabbed a classic black scarf, throwing it his direction.

Wait. Did he also just tell her brother to do the same? Hands came down and she shook her head. "Don't listen to Logan. Your buttons are fine. Though.. I guess a cuffed sleeve might be okay." Glancing around at other shirts for a moment she moved to one of the racks and pulled off a maroon shirt for Vas and a warm brown for Logan. "Try these. They'll accentuate your eyes which I guess aren't your worst features." She told them both, offering an olive branch in hopes of maybe some decent advice now that she'd crashed their party.

.... Did he just?! Her eyes nearly bulged at the word TROLL but she would never let THESE two in particular know if they got to her. So instead, she used her drama club acquired skills and pasted a smile on her face. "I'm surprised, it's just the next couple sizes up. I figured you would have known! We all know you'd be the expert in all things troll." She smiled demurely, as she batted eyes at him before turning them to Vas and doing a small twirl. "IS it too much though?" She'd just figured it would be nice to have something a little more formal in case of another surprise dance.

The look on Logan's face alone was enough to make Vasco laugh, a slow smirk tugging at his lips as well. He had known his answer would never had been anywhere near close enough to what his best mate wanted to hear from him, which clearly was why he had said it. To mess with him. "Chill, chill. I'm teasing ya. That's the one for sure." As in, if he didn't get it, that would be the wrong move. As for the messing of the hair, yeah, no. That was met with, Vas swatting at him in a playful manner but the glare was real. "Dude, not the hair." Never the hair. Even if it was covered by a hood most of the time.

Undo a button or roll up the sleeves, huh? Why not both? Flicking open a button or two and then rolling up the sleeves of the shirt to just below his elbows, he looked at himself in the mirror. That did look better. And more comfortable. This was much more... chill.

The double take Logan did at his sister, yeah bro, he saw that. Their whole entire exchange, was simply ridiculous but then again.. so was Vera. And so was that dress she was wearing. Now what in the- she was giving THEM advice on shirt colors? Seriously? The girl that walked around in stained shirts was telling him what would look good? Dark eyes landed on his sister and the shirt in her hand. Maroon? Really?" Did she not know him at all? He cast a glance at Logan to see what his thought about it. Should he give it a try or no?

Okay, normally he would have his sisters back but like.. she was ALWAYS there. He couldn't do anything without her. When she wanted to hangout with her friends, he left her to it. Yet, she constantly had to invite herself to wherever he was. So whatever. If those two wanted to call each other names, so be it. But then.. she was looking at him and ugh. Why? There was an audible groan from him as he ran a hand through his hair, fixing his eyes on her once again as she twirled around. "It's too much gold. Silver would look better." Just his opinion. Her dark hair and eyes with a silver dress. Yeah, he thought that seemed better than gold. Not that he really knew girls styles anyhow.


~~~~~


At some point after stopping to get his wand with his sisters and parents, Xander made his way into Madame Malkin's. According to the Hogwarts list he needed several different articles of clothing which he could all get here. Which was fine by him, as he could get his things as his sisters both got there's. So in his young head, this shouldn't take all that long?

Ohhhh, how wrong he was. Xander was having a time. First when he found a shirt he liked it didn't fit right and then when he did find one that fit how he liked, the color was all wrong. Yes, he was being picky and he knew it but he couldn't help it. This was his first year going to Hogwarts and he wanted to look his very best.

Brandon did not like clothes shopping. It was tiring, stressful, and he was never in control(he did not like not being in control). But picking out a uniform was a familiar concept to him, at least, and these clothes seemed mostly comfortable.

He was alone today, which took a bit of the scariness away but made him very lonely.

He slipped into the shop with an itemized list of what to get, and he picked out the things on his list one by one. He would try them all on at the end, and then pay with the money he had been given for today's shopping.

Walking down the lines of racks, Brandon noticed a familiar and welcome face. Xander! He was midway through sneaking up on him when he remembered that sometimes people freaked out when that happened to them and it wasn't always the best idea. So he walked up beside his best friend instead, the normal way. "Xander!" He grinned. Xander always made everything better and Brandon had a crush.

This was so boring. And frustrating. Boring and frustrating. Those words shouldn't go together. Why was this taking him so long? He was about ready to give up and grab whatever he grabbed and call it a day. If it didn't fit him properly, his mum or dad could always help him with that issue later.

Reaching out to grab a shirt closest to him he heard someone shout his name. Xander didn't even need to look around to know who's voice that was. Without even thinking about it (all thoughts of clothing now forgotten), he spun around with a wide grin on his face. "Brandon!" His crush best buddy was exactly who he needed to see right now. Brandon was one of the few people he didn't mind sneaking up on him, surprise visits from him were always welcome.

Brandon grinned even wider as Xander turned around, extending his hand for a high five. "What are you looking for? You don't look like you've picked anything out. Except for that shirt-" -which Brandon looked at. "I didn't know you liked that color." In fact, he didn't think Xander liked that color at all. But maybe he'd changed his mind? Brandon didn't want to accidentally insult his choices. "I'm halfway done picking things out for school." Maybe he could help Xander pick things out!

"Same," the blond responded, grinning as he let Vasco swat his hand away before he could actually sabotage the hairdo. Of course Logan knew better than to actually mess up his best friend's hair. It was one of a number of things they had in common. Hair was not something to be meddled with. But threatening to mess with it was very much still on the table.

A huge eye roll happened as a result of Vera's comments about paleness and how Vasco shouldn't listen to him -- first of all, he definitely was not as pale as he used to be thanks to some summer sun, and, second, his opinion would always matter more than hers. The scarf she had sent his way was caught, but that certainly wasn't going to be of any use to him. "Cover up with a scarf ... in the blazing hot summer ... how clever." Because she clearly hadn't thought of that. Just like she hadn't thought about how obnoxious a gold dress would be.

"She's totally wrong about the buttons," he told his best friend, watching as Vera meandered off to ... to do whatever. "You look cool." And the girls would be totally into cool-looking guys like them when they strolled into school with these fits.

The opposite could be said about the shirts that Vera had just returned with. Logan glanced down at the warm brown shirt he was now holding and then at the maroon one Vasco had. "You can't be serious, right?" he asked, blinking at her. Black or red would have been a million times better than the warm brown colour he got.

A snort escaped him after her comment about him being knowledgeable about trolls. He was going to be the bigger person and leave it at that. The twirl was noted, and she did look nice doing so. That, however, wasn't something he was outwardly going to admit. "Spitting image of the trolls in that Barnabus the Barmy tapestry, you are. And I say that as the expert here, as you kindly pointed out. ... Oh, yes, silver would be loads better. And do more twirling. Then maybe you can pass as human."

Vera had opened her mouth to retort that the scarf was naturally not for NOW, but rather to cover the fact that he DID look nice which was making her uncomfortable. Her whole purpose today was to figure out how to get other people to want to tell her she was pretty. Not to notice other people were starting to fill out and then ogle. But she realized that if she DID try to defend herself in anyway, she would have probably just spilled out something embarrassing. And while Logan had heard a lot of embarrassing things come out of her mouth (most of them things that entirely hadn't bothered her), any of her thoughts on the results of stupid puberty were not something she wanted either of the two boys to ever hear. So for once, in order to play it safe, Vera just shut her mouth, settling for an extra eye roll.

Now they both had commentary about the shirts. And while yes, Vasco would have had a point she was... not the queen of fashion, that was the point of being here right now. And she had read multiple books at the beginning of summer on how best to draw attention to features. Granted, the author's of the books could have been quacks but... for now, this was the only point of reference she had. Even if their reaction to the had her currently questioning the validity of the author's expertise. "Yes, maroon. Gold is supposed to be best to contrast our green eyes and accentuate the flecks in them but... I think you both have been abundantly clear on your feelings on that color." Plus, maroon was nice. It was her favorite shade of red, which was probably surprising since it wasn't nearly as BOLD as others. "And as for you," Attention turned back to Logan. "Go with whatever you want. BUT the brown is supposed to compliment your blue eyes and make them really POP." Here she used her hands to really emphasize. "Girls like eyes and yours aren't terrible." It was also just a really nice color palette, brown and blue.

Her eyes were still wanting to bulge at having been compared to a troll, but he was seeming to drop it so.... she'd have to get over it for the time being. Perhaps find a way to get back at him later. But nearly as soon as she'd come to the conclusion, he was mentioning trolls again. ashdsj. She forced a smile onto her face, batting her eyes a bit. "I think you're confusing that with the veela tapestry." Was there even one of those? Who knew. But aNyWaYs.. Silver? She wanted to scrunch her nose at their suggestion, mainly because it was not a color she particularly liked, BUT she was going to be the bigger person in this instance and just... take their suggestion. So turning to the racks, she found a silver dress and pulled it off to hold it up. "Like this one?" See. She'd try it. Logan's comment regarding the twirling did get her attention for a moment longer, and she blinked at him. "So you liked the twirl?"

Once more he ran his fingers through his hair making sure that his dark hair fell exactly how he wanted it to. Hair wasn't something to mess with.

Vera was already getting on his nerves and the look on his face showed as much. Did she think he hadn't noticed that anytime he hung around with Logan she found a way to make an appearance? And how their constant bickering was actually more annoying than his own with her? Then again nine out of ten times he never heard what she was saying anyhow so that could be part of the issue there.

As for the shirts.. well he was going to wear his how he wanted. "Uh-huh, right. And all of a sudden you of all people know what colors are best to wear." He would rather ask their younger sister for advice first. "Wear whatever you want. It doesn't matter to me." His sense of style wasn't stained clothes so he was fine.

Vas gave a slight nod however at what appeared to be a silver dress that was now being shown to them. "I guess. It's silver, isn't it?" Honestly he didn't care. He wasn't here to pick out dresses. She wasn't supposed to be here bothering them. Each passing minute that she was going on and on about colors and dresses he was getting more frustrated with her.


~~~~~


Xander didn't hesitate in going in for the initiated high-five. "Pretty much, everything." Honest. He still needed everything. No clothing items on the list had been successfully chosen. "I- it's not one I'd wear often?" Why, he was choosing his words so carefully, he didn't know but he was. Placing the shirt back down from where he had picked it up from, he turned to his bestie. "Looks like you're doing a lot better than I am with this. Do you want to get the rest of our things together?" Yes, this was his way of asking for help. Clearly he needed it and Brandon knew colors better than he did.

Yet another eye roll from Vera did not go unnoticed. Neither did the silence that followed after. Was that a sign of defeat, an acknowledgment that he was right about the whole scarf thing? A slight smirk appeared on his face. He'd take the sudden silence as a win for him.

The entire complimentary colours thing was getting old. To him, it seemed like a bunch of mumbo jumbo. The blond nodded when Vasco spoke, agreeing with his mate's comment. When did Vera become an expert on colour pairings and all of a sudden care about it? "Matching colours with your eyes is stupid. What matters is looking cool and liking what you're wearing."

With that said, the brown shirt had been set to the side. The comment about girls liking eyes and his not being terrible was ... interesting. Vera's words lingered in his head while he, pretending not to have heard, returned his attention to the mirror and started fiddling with his hair. An eyebrow rose when a Veela tapestry was mentioned. Fingers continued to run through his hair as he tried to remember if there even was one at Hogwarts. The fact he couldn't recall clearly meant there wasn't; one could not simply forget such a thing.

A shimmer in the mirror's reflection brought him out of his thoughts. He took note that Vera was now holding a silver dress and Vasco was wearing his feelings on his sleeve. Logan at this point was waiting for Vera to skedaddle off to a dressing room so he could suggest that they make a run for it. But the idea was fleeting as the twirling had been brought up.

One last strand of hair was moved as he quickly thought of how to respond. Maybe he did like it. Maybe he didn't. How he felt about that would be kept to himself, thank you very much. Turning so his back was to the mirror, he stated, "Nah. Just curious about how many twirls it'll take for you to get so dizzy that you fall on your face."

Had she been able to realize that her twin had any thoughts that her appearance today was specifcally because of Logan she would have been shocked. Did she crash his and Vasco's hang outs more often than any others? Yes. But in her defense, that was because he hung out with Logan the most. She would have crashed if he'd been meeting up with one of his dorm mates too, though in that scenario Phoenix would be the preferred since he didn't seem to mind her company.

Her hands moved to settle on her hips as both of them continued to argue with her, eyes darting from one boy to the other - while she found the slightest annoyance that she had to look more upwards toward them now. Apparently now was when they'd start to grow and she'd... not. Not as fast anyways. "If you two must know, I read a book abut it." So while she might not have known before, she was knowledgeable now okay!? Attention turned towards Logan then with the intent of arguing, because it was her go to, but she paused. "... Logan might have a point." Confidence was really what was the best right? Which was how she'd always felt fine anyways in the crazy styles she used to wear.

And with that surprisingly helpful reminder, she put the silver dress back on the rack. It was clear that she wasn't going to actually get any helpful input from either of the boys anyways, and she was finally starting to realize she should have just planned an excursion with Sia or Maria. "It probably would take me like... 10 spins to get dizzy, but only 2 to make Vasco pop a vein from annoyance." Which was why for the first time, she'd spare her brother and leave them to it. She gave her brother another look, "Make sure you at least get something. Papa DID want you too." before then giving Logan a finger wiggle in good bye. Her intent was HER to leave but she also wouldn't be surprised if they took her absence in getting back in her clothes to bolt from the store. "Bye Loogie."

Brandon didn't really know about colors- but 11 years of his sister's very long tangents had at least made him pay attention to different colors when he saw them. And he didn't think he'd seen Xander wear that one... not that there was anything wrong with it! Xander looked nice in everything. "I'd love to get our things together," Brandon said happily. Not too happily, not overly happily. But he was very happy to spend time together. And help Xander out with his obvious clothes shopping problems. "Maybe instead of wandering around looking at things, you should go item by item and think about what you want in each one. Starting with the shirts, because we're right next to them." That was always his suggestion when shopping with his family (they took forever). Brandon looked for several shirts in a color he liked, then traded them for the right size. See? It wasn't too hard. They would finish in no time.

In young Xander's mind, shopping for Hogwarts uniform clothing was much different than shopping for any other clothing. With other clothing, if he liked the design or pattern on a shirt and it fit he got it. It hadn't mattered if his pants were a bit too long or torn at the knees. Things mattered now. Now he had to wear button down shirts and dress slacks and a tie! Sure, it was all stuff he had worn before but usually he had help and it was only for special occasions.

Xander grinned widely at his friend. Perhaps having Brandon at his side and the two of them working together he would find what he needed and they could get out of here. "Item by item. Got it." Cue a nod of his head, brown hair falling into his eyes as per usual every time he did that. "Do I choose colors first and then find the correct sizes? What colors do you like?" Maybe some ideas wouldn't hurt at all.


~~~~~


All Vasco was really hearing now was..

Blah, blah, blah... NOTHING..

He had tuned Vera out when she continued to talk about colors and eyes and Merlin knows what else. It was nothing he wanted to hear. Not from her anyhow. If he thought it looked good on him and it was clean, he wore it. Major plus if it was comfortable too. Oh, and if it had a hood.. he would be in his glory. See, he was a simple guy. There was no need to match shirts to his eyes and so on and so forth.

To show that he was no longer listening, he fully turned away and shifted his attention back on the shirts nearest him. Some of the colors weren't so bad. And he was all to happy to hear that Vera was leaving now. Lifting a hand he simply waved her off, yeah, she could go. They had been doing just fine before she arrived.

The next set of sentences that came out of Vera's mouth were surprising to him. She had read about complimenting colours in a book? Needless to say, that was impressive. Logan didn't know that she could actually read. But it was the last utterance that really stuck with him. Was she agreeing with him? He had a point?

Well, of course he did. Logan Roderik Paton was was pretty smart. Sometimes.

It only took ten spins for her to get dizzy? Noted, for a later date. As for the comment about Vasco's vein popping, well, he'd take her word on that. The blond was willing to bet, though, that it'd only take one more spin for that to happen in this current moment. He could tell that his best friend was completely over the whole encounter.

Her leaving him and Vasco to be on their own was another surprise. Had Vera grown tired of bickering with him and grown bored of her brother more or less ignoring her? Or had she realized that whatever she was hoping to achieve here wasn't going to happen? "Later," he stated nonchalantly, watching as she wandered away.

Not another word left his mouth for a few moments. Vasco obviously needed a moment to chill, and he wanted to make sure that Vera was out of sight before he offered a suggestion. "How 'bout we pay for these and get a bite? Something at the Leaky, or ice cream at Florean's?" Food always made things better. It, at the least, was significantly better than clothes shopping.

Vasco didn't watch his twin leave. Therefore he had to base her departure on the sound of her footsteps getting further and further away from them. What he needed was to not hear her anymore, to not have to deal with her doing spins and distracting them from what they were actually doing. Sure before she had shown up they may have been joking around and whatnot but they had been trying on clothes too.

The silence that followed after Vera left them on their own, was sudden bliss. Vasco felt himself calm down immensely, nearly instantly. It was like that with Vera. Not always but most of the time. He swore that she really did do it on purpose. Why, he didn't know, when he always backed her up and got her out of trouble. She owed him.

Food? That's all that needed to be said and he was already in full agreement. "Yeah, I'm ready to get out of here." It didn't matter where they ended up, as long as there was food and no Vera. "Since we already know these fit.. should we get them in other colors too? You know, to save us from having to come back here again." It sounded like a decent idea to him and it wouldn't take more than a moment or two for them to grab the sizes they needed in colors THEY liked.

Yes, a moment of silence was needed. Though he didn't have a twin, he knew what it was like to have a sister. In fact, he had three of them, and they were all incredibly annoying in their own way. Thankfully neither of them made an appearance like Vera had, though Logan was certain that maybe Bry would have had the opportunity come up.

Vasco's response to his suggestion about food was all he needed to hear. "Ditto," he replied, nodding his head in agreement. "And I like your thinking, bro." This was why Vasco was the Ravenclaw and he wasn't. He would have just bought the shirt he was wearing and made a beeline for the door. But, yes, same shirt, different colours. Hopefully the next growth spurt would hold off a bit so he could get enough use out of the shirts.

He quickly popped back into the changing room to get back into the shirt he was originally wearing and, carrying the shirt he had just taken off, wandered back to the section of the shop he had gotten it from. There were numerous colours available, honestly too many. Though he found himself grabbing one in black, silver, and maroon.

"Let's get outta here," he told Vas, making his way to the counter to pay and then head back into the alley.

Nancy had grown...two inches? Yeah, it had to be at least two inches...since her last visit to Madam Malkins last term. The joys of being a girl on the cusp of womanhood. She chuckled to herself a little as she thought that, as that was definitely something Violeta would say if she were here. Pushing open the door to the shop, she paused and looked over at the plain old student robes before her eyes wandered over to the dress robes.

As far as she was aware, she didn't NEED any dress robes any time soon. They were soooo pretty though. Surely it wouldn't hurt to just...take a peek at them?

Maria was growing into a young woman of 14 years going on 15 and thus she had grown a few more inches over the summer which made her hogwarts clothes too small. She needed a whole new collection, and luckily for her Vera was accompying her on this trip to the clothes store, and not her dads or merlin forbid her brother. Standing in a booth try on a new skirt and white blouse Maria called out to her friend "Vera, do you think I should get a pair of trousers too and a dress?" A dress would be lovely, but they didn't have any special events next year did they? "I'm really glad you could come with me, I wouldn't have wanted to go, and try clothes with my brother Emari in tow which I would have been forced to do if you hadn't accepted." It would have been a challenge for her patience and her mood. Trying out clothes was fun but doing it with Vera she knew would be an extra plus.

She had reason to be saving her coins as of late, so Vera was not here to purchase but just to be a sounding board and company for her friend. When Maria had asked if she'd tag along, she'd been all too happy to agree. And truthfully, this had been one of the things she'd looked forward to the most about summer. It was nice getting time with her friend, and she was still VERY curious to hear all of the extra details about her and Kion. Even if she was trying reaaaally hard not to badger her favorite Badger.

While Maria was trying on a skirt and blouse she'd found, Ve was already flipping through dresses - having found that sundresses and shorts and tops were her favorite go tos for comfortable clothing so she was curious what was around on the racks. Hearing her call out, she glanced back towards the booth and gave a nod - even if it couldn't be currently seen by her friend. "I think you should! It's always good to have options." They never REALLY knew what Hogwarts held for them that year until they arrived. It was so much easier to have a dress readily available just in case, instead of having to rely on Hogsmeade's selections or worse yet... their respective dads. "I'm glad you asked! I love shopping. And last time I came it was with Vasco and Logan." Not technically WITH them but... they were there. "And they were sooo not supportive. So... I definitely get the not wanting to have your brother along thing." Even if hers was probably different too considering her brother was much younger.

The blouse fit much better than the old one, and the same could be said for the skirt. Maria hummed happily to herself as she went out of the booth to peruse the dresses on the rack alongside her friend sympathetically linking their arms together. "The boy's don't get that we need lot's of more time to see, touch , and try out clothes when where in a clothing shop than they do. Sorry Logan, and Vasco weren't very helpful or supportive."

Her dads could be trusted with buying clothes for her, but Maria wanted to do it herself this summer with Vera's help. "Shall we try on some dresses together in the same booth? If there is a festivity of some sort next year then I want to be ready to look pretty for Kion, don't you want that too for Logan?" Maria wondered as she picked down a pink dress with sunflowers on it from the rack to try on along with a purple one.

If there is a festivity of some sort next year then I want to be ready to look pretty for Kion, don't you want that too for Logan?" Maria wondered as she picked down a pink dress with sunflowers on it from the rack to try on along with a purple one.


She so far wasn't finding anything on that racks that she liked for herself, but there was a cute blue dress she ear marked in her mind to bring back Vesper at some point to look at it. If they were going to make sure they were all prepared for the unexpected at Hogwarts, maybe it would be good for her little sister to have an option as well. Feeling Maria'a arm slip through hers, Vera turned her head to give her friend a smile as she gave her arm the smallest squeeze in response. "It's okay! Honestly, it was kinda my fault. I wasn't exactly invited to that particular shopping trip." She giggled and shot her a cheeky smile, before the attention turned back to the racks again and she grabbed a dress that caught her attention. "What do you think of this one?" She held up a form fitting green dress that went to the knee and then had a soft ruffle along the bottom.

Renner certainly did his best, and the last time he'd sent her something to wear she had LOVED it. But now that she was closer to 15, she was very certain that her former style was a bit too childish for the way she was hoping to appear at school now. She just worried that Papa would try to send her something that he thought she'd like as opposed to something that looked good. They were very different things now. Hearing the question about trying on some dresses together, Vera began to nod as she kept the green dress in her hand and followed it up by an above knee length red dress that ombre'd down into a white.

She'd been so distracted by her selections that she nearly missed the second part of what Maria had said, but once it did in fact register she could feel her face heat a bit as she whipped her head around to look at her friend. "Why would I want to look good for Logan? Him and me is definitely not like you and Kion. He's just my brother's best friend." And he was familiar which was why she spent so much time with him. It would have been Vasco if they'd been in the same house too. Definitely. At least this was what she told herself. "Also he literally calls me a troll." Which she called him that as well but it seemed like a good point to bring up to squash any ideas people seemed to have about them.
