OOC: Hi!
"Hello. Can I please have these robes in this sizes?" Elisha spoke to one of the workers in the store. She watches as the small and plump woman took a look at the paper she had given and nods while smiling as she unto her new task. Usually, Elisha would have brought some of their house elf to help her shop the things that she'll be needing in Hogwarts but she wanted to exercise her independence from time to time.
She took a glance back outside the shops window and saw a creature quickly poke his head back down in hiding.
Well, as much independence her father's elf was ordered to give. It was customary to have an older witch or wizard accompany her when going to Diagon alley but her father had an important meeting later at the ministry while her mother took the day off to take care of her brother. So her father could only apparate her into Diagon alley, giving her instruction to follow before apparating again to work.
It's not much of a problem really, as she had already gone countless of times shopping here with her parents, already familiar with the map of the place. Even if she intentional tries to get lost or take a wrong turn to Knockturn alley Beanie, the house elf, would surely redirect her back to the right way.
Nodding slightly to approve the house elf's work, Elisha turns back to watched the other workers move around the place. Now that Hogwarts is starting again, this is the time when shops in Diagon alley starts to pile up sales and orders. Elisha knew that she wouldn't have to wait too long to get her robes as pure-bloods like her tends to be prioritized first. Though the reason for it could vary depending on the shop owner and the noble.
From what she observed some of them just wants snotty and arrogant pure-bloods to leave as soon as possible, others because their family is a regular or a long time buyer of the shop, some just wants to be in their good graces. She doesn't know what they think about her and her family though and she doesn't have the energy to find it out.
If she really want to, she could just asks her parents or the house elf.
Feeling her feet starting to to tingle from standing Elisha decided to walk towards the seats inside the shops. Just as she sat down she noticed a tan girl with dark brown hair standing awkwardly near the entrance. Elisha observes as the girl tries and fails to explain what she needed to one of the workers. She couldn't hear them from this position but she could see how awkward the girl moves as she talked to another person.
'She must be a muggle then...' Elisha thought as she leaned back to the chair to get more comfortable.

Aurelia was wandering the streets of Diagon Alley aimlessly. She had no idea where she would buy anything. Her dad hadn't even dropped her off in London she had to take the GRW and then the metro to get here. She looked down at her list and found that she had to buy some clothes. Great! She loved buying clothes. It said the shop she had to visit was Madame Malkins. She walked around a bit before finding it. In the big glass window, she saw another young girl looking out at her. She looked about her age but much older at the same time. She opened the big wooden door and walked up to the counter. Could I please have three black robes, one black hat, one winter coat, and a pair of protective gloves she whispered in a voice barley audible to a mouse. The shopkeeper smiled warmly and asked what sizes those were in. Aurelia paused she hadn't got new clothes in an eternity. She was 140cm tall, or was it 150cm. She honestly didn't know, so she guessed 140 cm and passed the sizes over. She then went over to sit down with the other young girl her black hair seemed to glow, and her amber eyes seemed to shine like gold. She followed her gaze to some sort of creature out of the window. It was small and pink. It was dressed in rags. No, a pillowcase. The girl looked at the creature, did she know it. The girl seemed comfortable yet tense at the same time. She looked at Aurelia with something like hatred no disgust, she had grown up with that expression etched on her father's face. What was her problem? She looked at her once again and saw something else, the girl thought she was more important than her. Aurelia felt like screaming. But she was calm and said exactly what that weird person had told her to say Hi, I'm Aurelia Delorme. I'm a Half-blood

OOC: Hi!
"Hi, I'm Aurelia Delorme. I'm a Half-Blood" The girl said moments after she had sat down near Elisha.
Elisha stared at her for a few seconds looking her over once again before plastering a gentle smile at her. "Pennyworth. Elisha Pennyworth" Usually, proper etiquette would require her to curtsy or shake hands but since the other person had not offered it in the first place then she has no business extending hers. "You seem unfamiliar with the place. Did your guardian not come with you? This place can be a little overwhelming to people that did not grow up with their magical side."
She tilts her head in thought. "Say, have you been accepted to Hogwarts? Usually, when family members are unable to shop the required items with you, a Hogwarts staff would guide you through your list. But you're unusually alone right now." There can be different reasons for this, some may be good and some may be bad. But Elisha isn't overly interested to it. It's not the girl's fault she had been left alone to fend for herself on an unfamiliar place.
She do need someone to help her through her list or she might've just get advantage by other shop owner here. Or worse get persuade to check Knockturn Alley. Merlin knows she wouldn't survive there.
Perhaps she could offer an assistance to this ignorant...witch. Surely, her influence would make this girl see how great the wizarding world truly is and appreciate it's own beauty without the influence from muggles.

Aurelia paused. No-one had thought to come shopping with her. And she wasn't about to tell this girl about Mum. My dad couldn't bring me as he is a Muggle and would'nt be much help. My mum never told me about the magical world and isn't in the country to help me. You see she lives in France, but that's enough about me Aurelia hoped she didn't seem rude with her next question but Elisha had asked her. Where are your parents Elisha I mean if it's traditional for a guardian to accompany where is yours. Aurelia felt like running out the door. How could she be so nosy! This girl had acknowledged her so kindly and now she was being really rude. Sorry you don't need to awnser that it was rude. The shopkeeper told me my robes would be ready in half an hour and my dad is going to pick me up at 7 tonight, so I have some time what do you want to do. Are there any cool shops around here. I think I saw an ice cream shop round the corner we could go buy some. Aurelia hoped that Elisha would'nt reject her but knew she probably would. And why did she want to be her friend so much anyway, she honestly didn't know.
