with @Alexa Mackenzie

Walter reviewed the list he held while he was trying to carry all of the things he bought. Until Flourish and Blotts everything was handled perfectly. But when he saw the list of the books he had to buy, Walter felt a little bit anxious. Because he did not want to miss anything about the school. He looked at the list in his hand three times in a row, then around him. Feeling the immense scent rising from the pages of a thousand kinds of books filling the store had relieved him a little bit. He wasn't sure which book on the list or which side of the store he should start with. He called out to a man who looked like the one of the salesmen of the shop. “Mister, can you help me please?” While the words that came out of his mouth disappear into the hum of the crowd in the place, the man, who was obviously quite busy, had already passed by and disappeared. Walter felt a little bit regretful to not complete his books in the morning. It was a mistake to leave the book shopping for the afternoon forwhy Flourish and Blotts is one the most popular stores in Diagon Alley.

After embracing the chaos inside, he realized that he had to do his own thing. In the paper, Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger was written in the first line. “Let’s start.” He whispered quietly. He began to examine the books lined up on the old shelves to his right. There were a lot of different kind of books were lined up side by side. After looking at it for a few minutes, he realized that he could not provide a solution in this way. He thought he could try something different. He turned to the long curly-haired girl who was looking carefully at the books a few steps away from him. Realizing that Walter was turning towards her, the girl began to look at the boy with her green eyes. After a couple of seconds of glancing, he immediately spoke. “Hello. I guess it's going to be a strange question, but, are you student at Hogwarts?” He spoke again before she had time to answer. “I will start my first year and I am a little bit confused to find my school books.”

Alexa walked into Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley, still contemplating if she wanted to get a pet rat or not, having just visited the Magical Menagerie seen many cute ones. She knew it would take her a while to decide, so instead she went to the bookstore to pick up her second year books for Hogwarts.

She had felt more confident this year, so she had asked her parents to drop her off at the Leaky Cauldron with some Muggle money to exchange the bank. She knew both of her parents were uncomfortable in the magical place, so she figured she would go from herself and meet up with them in a few hours. She hoped to see some of her friends here, as well.

After studying her new booklist, which was short this year, she went to the shelves and began searching. Another boy stood a few feet away, contemplating his own list. Then he looked up at her, as though to engage in conversation. Being shy, Alexa at first just glanced at him, before really making eye contact. He spoke, asking if she was a Hogwarts student, stating that he would start his first year and was a little confused in the bookshop. He didn’t explicitly ask for help, but Alexa was a friendly sort, if shy, and smiled slightly at the other boy.

“Yeah, I’m a second year at Hogwarts. I am Alexa, Alexa Mackenzie. What’s your name? I can help you with your books, if you like.”
