Default Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop


Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop is the feather in Hogsmeade's hat -- literally! Conveniently located next to a school and having consistent business for most of the year, peeking through the windows of this shop will make it very obvious what this building houses. Various quills, parchments, and stationery sets are laid out on display, luring in any student that loves the smell of parchment, misplaced their favourite quill, or is looking to make doing homework fun.

After the bell dings following your entrance, the smell of paper fills your nose. After taking in another breath, though, a new smell registers in your mind. Is that the smell of ... cat litter? Looking down at the wooden floor, you likely will see some tuffs of fallen cat hair. Followed by the appearance of the shopkeeper, a series of meows follow that belong to the seven cats that 'help' her run the shop. Though the cats are friendly, they are prone to knocking over merchandise.

Kitty removed her hood as she walked in through the door. Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop was a new store for her and she glanced around curiously. The smell of paper was strangely pleasant to her nostrils.

She approached the quill section. Her quick quotes quill was becoming rather unreliable and Kitty was hoping to find a better and more stylish one. A cat brushed by her legs. 'Hello kitty," she said as she snapped a picture of the cat. Cute...

After awhile she found a quick quotes quill to her liking and approached the counter. "Good morning," she greeted the person behind the counter pleasantly.

"The Hogwartians will be here soon, Truffles.'' Fat little Ms Fairbarn bent under the counter to pick up the kitty. It was skulking under there all morning. "Why are you not more like Tinker? He isn't moody.'' There was some struggling where Edina had to get on her knees to try to get the kitty but to no avail.

"Alright, my baby'' Edina crooned. "You can come out when you are ready.'' Edina got to her feet just in time for her first customer. "Good morning my dear.'' Edina was already smiling. She loved the children of Hogwarts. Only if they were nice to her precious babies. "How may I help you today?''

"Good morning," repeated Kitty cheerfully as she placed five Quick Quotes Quill on the counter. "My Quick Quotes Quill broke in the middle of class so I had to replace it." She had chosen five because of what was written on the sign. "I was wondering if there are combination quills," she said. "Like an Everlasting Quick Quotes Quill or something like that."

"I understand.'' was Edina's reply to her very first customer of the day. She would always expect to have a slew of those because quills, inks and other writing apparatus were always needed. "Oh dear. I am so sorry to disappoint you. I have no quills like that.'' Poor Edina she felt so bad. Not even Truffles now rubbing his soft head against her foot could help.

"Would you interested in a Fragrance Quill? I've just got a fresh batch delivered.''

"That's okay," replied Kitty sincerely. Really, even though such a quill would have been useful, it wasn't a big deal having to buy more quills. The shopkeeper was clearly upset at not being able to provide her with what she'd asked and she didn't want to make her feel bad. "If all quills were everlasting then we wouldn't be able to buy more and I love shopping." True that.

"Ooh, I'd love a Fragrance Quill! I never had one before. Can I see them?"

Edina's lips curled into a relieved smile. "That's a well made point my dear.'' Merlin knew that she would be out of business if ever lasting quills were made. Edina nudged the now purring Truffles softly with her foot.

"Let me get them.'' Ednia left but she returned shortly. Her arms were loaded with various colored quills. The scent were high. Edina could smell pudding and wood shavings among them. "Take your pick my dear.''

Gaston hadn't planned to leave his office today, but he thought he'd been cooped up inside for too long. Well, that and the thought of running into her somewhere in the castle was too much!

The charms professor ducked into Scrivenshaft's, more to get off the street than anything else, keeping his dark sunglasses on inside the shop to hide his sad red-rimmed eyes from whoever happened to be there. Thankfully the place wasn't overrun with people... yet. He scoffed to himself. He knew he must look ridiculous wearing these things indoors, but it was better than the alternative. He was in no mood to explain his broken heart to anyone right now!

While he was in here, he thought it would probably be a good idea to get a new journal. The one in his jacket pocket was battered and had only a few blank pages left. He just wanted to quickly find a black journal, pay, and leave with as little interaction as possible. But that didn't happen.

As he was searching through the shelves, something brushed against his leg. He looked down and saw a cat. "Hello, pretty kitty," he whispered, bending down to scratch the cat's ear. A loud MEOW caused Gaston's head to jerk up, just as another cat hopped onto the shelf in front of him. Clearly someone wanted his attention! While he was petting the noisy cat, yet another one appeared and started licking his other hand. If he didn't know better, he'd think these animals could sense his sadness and were trying to distract him!

He kept searching through the journals on the shelf - or as much as the cats would allow him to do so - but there wasn't a black one in sight. Great, that meant he'd have to ask. "Excuse me, Madame Shopkeeper?" he said, turning toward the woman. "Would you happen to have one of these -" He picked up a journal in a different color to show her what he was talking about. "- in black? I don't see any out." Though given his current state of mind it was entirely possible he'd been looking right at the merchandise he wanted this whole time and hadn't noticed...

Rosalyn needed a new quill and journal and had decided that now was as good a time as any to get them. She was trying to write in her diary every day and didn't want to slack off at any point. Also, she felt the need to get out of the castle because she had been cooped up inside for too long, thinking about things that she didn't want to.

As she approached the shop, she saw Gaston. He was apparently heading to the same destination though he clearly hadn't seen her. She was pretty sure that he was avoiding her since the last time she had seen him was at the Piffy reception. Rosalyn was sad and missed him, but she hadn't wanted to bombard him at his office in case that scared him away. Well, now she was going to talk to him.

Smiling slightly, she watched him with the cats. "Gaston." He wasn't going to ignore her, was he?

Gaston was still preoccupied with the cats when a sudden voice made his heart skip a beat. He knew that voice... Rosalyn! He was surprised she was talking to him; he thought he'd scared her away forever at the Piffy reception. His first instinct was to make a beeline for the door, but he still needed that journal he'd come here for. And he'd been hiding from her long enough.

"Rose," he said in a small voice, still standing with his back to her. He knew this was coming... she was going to reject him. He'd thought maybe if he distanced himself from her first it would hurt less, but he was wrong.

Gaston didn't think it was possible for his heart to break any more than it already had until he turned around and actually looked at Rosalyn. Instead of the disgust he'd expected to see written all over her face, she just looked sad. Even peering from behind the mirrored lenses of his sunglasses, he could still tell. Had he done that to her? Oh Merlin, he wished he'd never said those things to her! He meant every word, but he shouldn't have put her on the spot like that!

There was so much he wished he could tell her, but he didn't dare, lest he should overwhelm her again. This time he was going to take his father's advice and try not to let his emotions run away with him. Instead of puring his heart out to her again, he stood, silently eyeing her from behind his glasses, as he anxiously waited for her to speak first.

It was good that Gaston wasn't ignoring her because part of Rosalyn had been worried that he would have. That, or head straight for the exit in order to escape. She knew that he had been avoiding her because she hadn't seen him around the castle in quite a few days, not even in passing. Maybe she had been avoiding him too at first, but that was only because he had shocked her with what he had said at the reception. Then she had wondered if he would avoid her for the rest of the time at school and that made her sad because she missed talking to him.

The sunglasses were rather surprising, but she was not going to draw attention to them. Nope. She was too worried about him to really care about that! He was obviously very sad - which made her feel WORSE - but Rosalyn didn't understand why because she hadn't even said anything to him. Chaos had broken loose and the party had ended before she even had the chance to make sense of things. She wanted to ask him what was going on, but decided not to. At least not yet. Instead she said, "I haven't seen you around the castle in days." She didn't like that at all.

Instead she said, "I haven't seen you around the castle in days." She didn't like that at all.
Gaston's blue eyes blinked in surprise behind his glasses at the sound of Rosalyn's next words. It wasn't what she'd said that was so shocking but the way she said it... as if not seeing him around was a bad thing. He couldn't imagine why, though. He thought she'd be glad not to have creepy Gaston Marchand admiring her from afar!

Could that mean...? No, he shouldn't get his hopes up. He was sure she was only trying to let him down gently. Sweet, kind Rosalyn... still trying to spare his feelings even after the awkward mess he'd thrown them into! He didn't know why he was surprised; that kindness was what had won his heart all the way back at the start of the term.

Gaston knew he had to say something, but what? Rose deserved an explanation - and an apology - the least he could do was give her that! He sighed as his mind searched for the right words. "I know," he finally said, his voice thick with emotion. "I'm so sorry..." More than you'll ever know, his mind silently added. "I just... didn't think you'd want anything to do with me after I..." He had no idea how to finish that sentence. Shocked her? Embarrassed her? Disgusted her?

His head bowed, spilling his black hair into his face, and he suddenly had to remove his glasses to pinch at the corners of his eyes. Instead of putting them back on, however, he stuffed the sunglasses into his jacket pocket and allowed Rosalyn to see the sadness reflected in his own eyes, eyes every bit as red and puffy as they'd been at the reception. So much for not letting emotion get the better of him again!

Rosalyn sighed as Gaston apologized to her. Not out of exasperation though. She was just happy that he was talking to her though she felt bad about this whole situation. Bad and confused. At least he was explaining things to her somewhat so that she understood better. "I stayed away at first but that was only because I was shocked. I had no idea that you felt that way about me." She had needed time to process things and then when she had, he was nowhere to be found. It had made her wonder if she had done something wrong.

When he took his sunglasses off, it made Rosalyn feel worse than ever. He looked the same as he had at the reception. It made her want to cry seeing him so upset. "Gaston, I am really sorry." She HATED seeing him like this and it was all HER fault. She had never wanted to make him feel this way. Sweet Gaston who was always so kind and lovely.

She HATED seeing him like this and it was all HER fault. She had never wanted to make him feel this way. Sweet Gaston who was always so kind and lovely.
Now it was Gaston's turn to be shocked. So he hadn't scared her away forever? That was unexpected! For a few moments, all he could do was gape dumbly at her, still in a state of disbelief that she wasn't disgusted by him. "I-I understand," he finally stammered after her words had time to sink in. He even managed a small smile, but it was gone almost instantly.

WHAT?! Why was Rosalyn apologizing to him? Didn't she know she had nothing to be sorry for? His mouth dropped open, and the sadness in his eyes was momentarily replaced with shock and confusion. "What for?" he blurted out before he could stop himself. "I'm the one who started all this! I should've just kept my big mouth shut, but... I knew if I didn't tell you then, I'd probably never pluck up the courage to..." He had to pause to give his words time to catch up with his rambling thoughts and whirlwind emotions. "Oh, Merlin! You weren't supposed to find out like this!" Actually she wasn't supposed to find out at all, but that was beside the point. He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Well, now you know..."

Gaston stared at the floor, unable to meet Rosalyn's eyes. When he did finally force himself to look up, he saw the look on her face was even sadder than ever, and he hated himself for causing it. It was like they were locked in some cruel battle to see which of them could make the other feel worse! He wanted to hug her, but he was afraid he'd drive her away if he did. Still he had to do something! "Oh, Rose, please don't be sad," he begged, his voice barely more than a whisper. He was sure that if he tried to talk louder, he'd burst out sobbing. "Please... not because of me..."

He looked down to find that at some point, he'd taken Rosalyn's hand in both of his own. When had that happened? He gasped, horrified by what he'd done, and let go abruptly. If she wasn't scared away before, she certainly would be now! So what was going to happen now? Was this going to be the part where she turned him down and broke his heart even further? Or was there some faint glimmer of hope that she'd give him a chance?

Why didn't Gaston see how wonderful he was?

Rosalyn was relieved that he understood why she had stayed away initially, but then that shouldn't have surprised her. He was always so sweet to her and now she knew why. "It's okay," she said as he expressed how it was a mistake to have told her in that way. While it hadn't been ideal by any means, she was not upset with him for it. What had bothered her was being avoided, but that didn't matter now. Seeing him like this was a lot worse. "I hate seeing you miserable and it's my doing." The only reason why he felt this way was HER. He was scared that she would reject him, something that she finally understood. What she didn't get was why he was sure that it was going to happen. "I want you to be happy."

He was begging her not to be sad anymore, so Rosalyn gave a small smile. She would try not to be but it wouldn't happen for real until she knew that he was feeling better. Feeling him grab her hand, she glanced down but he let go a moment later. "It's okay, Gaston." There was no need to worry that he had done something wrong. "I'm not rejecting you, but I don't think that now is the right time for dating. Not with everything that is going on." Was that okay? She just wanted to wait until things were more settled what with Piffy nonsense and term coming to an end.

"I want you to be happy."

He was begging her not to be sad anymore, so Rosalyn gave a small smile. She would try not to be but it wouldn't happen for real until she knew that he was feeling better. Feeling him grab her hand, she glanced down but he let go a moment later. "It's okay, Gaston." There was no need to worry that he had done something wrong. "I'm not rejecting you, but I don't think that now is the right time for dating. Not with everything that is going on." Was that okay? She just wanted to wait until things were more settled what with Piffy nonsense and term coming to an end.
Gaston had half-expected Rosalyn to be angry at him for putting her on the spot at the reception, but he was relieved to know that wasn't the case. The relatively calm feeling didn't last long, however, as her next words made him gasp, his azure eyes growing wide and panic-stricken. "NO!" he exclaimed suddenly. The cats on the shelf behind him stared at him, and even he was shocked by the harshness of his tone. Hearing her blame herself was ripping apart his already broken heart. Did she not know that?

"Rose, please don't..." he began, but the words caught in his throat. He was on the verge of tears, but he refused to give in to them and make her feel even worse. He'd rather die himself than see her in this kind of emotional pain! Gaston bowed his head just enough so that his eyes were level with Rosalyn's. "Don't think for one second that you're to blame for any of this! My broken heart was nobody's fault but my own." His past experiences, underlying insecurities, and sensitive nature made him a perfect storm; it was bound to happen one was or another!

He sighed as his mind searched for the right words, but how could he explain it to her when he didn't fully understand it himself? "I've had my heart broken so many times before, just the idea of it happening again was..." Yes, in an ironic twist of fate, he'd had his heart broken by the possibility of a broken heart. Did that make sense? And why was he telling her this? Surely she didn't need to know!

Gaston was glad to see Rosalyn smile at him (and even more so that she wasn't angry about him holding her hand) and returned it with one of his one, the first genuine smile he'd been able to muster since before the Piffy reception. Just knowing that she wanted him to be happy made him happier than he'd been in days, months even, because it meant she cared, maybe not the way he cared for her, but it was a start. "I will be," he said. As much as he wanted to assure her he was completely happy, he couldn't... not yet anyway.

Wait, did he hear her right? She said she wasn't rejecting him? Gaston's heart was gong a million miles an hour! Did that mean she...? It hardly seemed possible... He was a little disappointed when Rose said she wanted to wait until the term ended, but he realized she was right. As long as they were here, the students were their top priority. "Oh, my - I-I didn't mean now!" he stammered. "Oh, goodness no! The students have had enough distractions without me causing another one!" Not to mention there was no telling what the fallout would be once word spread. "I c-couldn't ask you to r-risk your job for me! If you were dismissed because I couldn't keep my emotions in line..." He didn't even want to think about it!

"I j-just hoped w-when the t-term ended, you'd -" The stammering was getting so bad he couldn't finish his sentence, so he found a different way to tell her. His pleading blue eyes gazed into hers, silently begging her to give him a chance.
