Flourish & Blotts - Bustling

[lilyprice]

Lily nodded at Katie and, when the older girl didn't put the books behind the counter Lily figured that she was probably supposed to move them herself. She sidled round the edge of the counter and smiled at Katie.

"I'll move them for you." She explained, "You're busy." With that Lily slid her stack of books from the counter and bent down with them. She carefully placed the pile on the floor in the corner before standing up again.

"Thanks." She mouthed silently, not wanting to interupt Katie because she was muttering a spell under her breath again. Lily managed to meander her way through the line of people and over to the door of the shop, where she stood and waited for Hepsy.

[Hepsy Hoggarth]

It didn't take Hepsy long to find the couple of books that she needed because all of the books that were needed for Hogwarts were in the same section of Flourish and Blotts. She pulled them from the shelves somewhat hastily, wanting to get back to Lily so she could tell her everything that had happened over the summer. Standing in the queue Hepsy became uncharacteristically impatient as it didn't seem to be moving.

"Hi." she greeted the sales assistant after several foot-tapping minutes of being stuck in the slowly moving queue. Hepsy placed her two books on the counter and looked over at the door, where Lily was standing, whilst the total cost was added up.

"Thanks." She smiled when she handed her money over and took the books from the counter, placing them in her shoulder bag.

"So, to the Leaky Cauldron we go, finally." Hepsy assumed when she walked over to Lily, opening the door and stepping through it, back out into the cold morning.

(((I wanted to get this all roleplayed at once so I didn't need to involve the NPC account, hope you don't mind!
