Are you lost?
Private with {Angus Watson}
Please do not respond to this thread if you are not Angus.
Ava entered the shop with a bunch of galleons in her right hand and almost finished ice cream cone in the other one. She had finished her Hogwarts shopping maybe half an hour ago, she stopped by the hospital to visit Kate and then went to Fortescue's to get the ice cream that was now melting in the summer sun. She quickly finished it before going into the shop and finding whatever looked interesting.
She wandered around the shop, looking for something that she could buy with the money she had left from doing the magical school shopping. The girl hoped it was enough to buy all the things she wanted, and there was a lot of those, even if she just entered the shop. Feeling a bit intimidated by the crowd around her, she walked to the back of the shop to avoid getting run over and smiled. She finally found something that'd be both useful and just all around fun. Gobstones.
Gobstones were common among her wizarding friends at Summerset - Ava wasn't completely, but from what she remembered, she thought there was even a club for the game. Again, she wasn't really sure.
The girl picked up a couple of things clearly for jokes and pranks like dungbombs, enchanted snowballs, and some exploding bonbons. She hurried over to the cash register and paid for the things in her arm.
When she was just about to leave, she spotted a boy walking around in the crowd, getting pushed and probably kicked around the store. He looked like he had no idea where he was or where he should be - almost like he never heard of this place or whatever stood on the shelves. Av walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder with a small grin plastered on her lips to get his attention before talking.
"Are you lost?"

Are you lost?
Today, Angus just wanted to buy some new glass phials, because the last one he had, he broke by accident. Could something go wrong with such a simple task of buying a set of phials?
Of course, it could. Mainly because he forgot where to buy them (HOW can someone forget something like that?) and he had to ask some other Hogwarts student that he knew only by sight.
Well, who would expect that instead of Potage's Cauldron Shop, the boy will show him Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes as a very funny joke? The Gryffindor did not remember going in there before, but does only one store at Diagon Alley sells glass phials? Apparently, yes.
It was a pity that he did not know it before.
This store was far too big for Angus's poor sense of direction and there was definitely no glass phials that he needed, or rather there were no ordinary glass phials. Looking for them, he went deep into this place. Gryffindor's attention was attracted mainly by various magical and completely unnecessary items that looked extremely tempting.
Around the time he was thinking about buying one of these sweet little Pygmy Puffs, more customers started coming into the shop, who obviously had to jostle. When Angus decided that he would not spend the rest of his saved galleons on this how cute, but how expensive creature Gryffindor realized firstly that he has no idea which way he should go to get to the exit, and secondly this crowd will definitely not let him pass. He began to try to pass between people who didn't care about his kind and too silent "Excuse me". Suddenly Angus realized that he was in a room that was clearly not for him - all products were aggressively pink and belonged to the WonderWitch series. After seeing a group of girls laughing and whispering in front of the shelf with a large "Love Potions" inscription, he decided that he had to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Are you lost?" asked a fair-haired girl who somehow passed way through the crowd and now stood next to him. She was smiling. "Yes" he replied with relief. "Tell me, honestly, I will not buy ordinary, the most ordinary glass phials here, right?"

"Tell me, honestly, I will not buy ordinary, the most ordinary glass phials here, right?"
"Ok, let me get this straight -" Ava replied, trying not to start laughing. "You walk into Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes - a place known for jokes, dungbombs, enchanted snowballs, and love potions - expecting you will buy the most ordinary glass phials?" the girl wasn't good at keeping herself from laughing for too long - after finishing that sentence she quickly burst out with laughter. "I-I'm sorry." she stuttered out, looking at the boy again, trying to see his reaction.
"No, you will not buy any phials here. I mean, you can buy these things" here Av pointed at the pink love potions "and empty them, though I'm pretty sure that isn't what you're looking for." she smiled again, looking around to see Pygmy Puffs pretty close and walking up to them. "Cute creatures, aren't they?" she asked the boy, hoping he followed her. After a couple seconds of looking at the adorable things (were they even animals?) Ava turned back to the boy and looked at him again.
"About your phial problem - as I said, you won't be able to buy them here. They're sold at Potage's Cauldron Shop," she explained, looking back and forth at the boy and then the shop. "So uh..." after a minute of really awkward silence she finally spoke. "What's your name, boy-that-really-needs-to-buy-phials-and-probably-learn-where-to-buy-them-too?"

"Ok, let me get this straight -" the stranger replied with a strange expression on her face, he was afraid that he might have walked into the store to which the first year was not allowed to enter? (The whole magical world had thousands of different, strange rules that seemed senseless to him, so why not a shop that he was not allowed to enter?). "You walk into Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes - a place known for jokes, dungbombs, enchanted snowballs, and love potions - expecting you will buy the most ordinary glass phials?" she said and started laughing. He stood there, not knowing what to say. Of course. He must have mistaken the phials shop with the magic jokes shop, which he did not understand anyway. What was funny in this shelf with Muggle tricks?
She also joked that the Gryffindor could buy a Love Potion and empty it. Very funny Weasleys' girl. Suddenly she turned and started walking somewhere. Because she was the only person he knew here (at least more than the rest), and who could show him how to get out of here boy followed her. They were watching the Pygmy Puffs for a moment.
Awkward silence.
Should he say something? He was not sure if he should ask her for a name. From what he knew, it usually how you get to know people. "So uh ..." she began. He answered "Uh ..." for support. Luckily, the girl decided to say something. "What's your name, boy-that-really-needs-to-buy-phials-and-probably-learn-where-to-buy-them-too?" she asked. Of course, she had to remind him that one little mistake with the shops. "Angus-yes-I-really-need-those-phials-and-I-have-no-idea-where-to-find-them that's me" he said with resignation and added, "And what is your name Weasleys'- girl-that-I-hope-knows-the-way-to-the-shop-with-phials-and-will-show-it-to-me? "

"Angus-yes-I-really-need-those-phials-and-I-have-no-idea-where-to-find-them, that's me," the boy replied with a certain resignation in his voice. "That's a nice na-" she was about to say, but the boy was faster. "And what is your name Weasleys'- girl-that-I-hope-knows-the-way-to-the-shop-with-phials-and-will-show-it-to-me?" At this point, Ava couldn't control herself and burst out laughing again. Most of her jokes were bad. Really, really bad. But it was nice to see someone get them. More importantly, pass them on. She calmed herself down, looking back at Angus who had a rather unpleasant look on his face.
"Riiiight, I'm sorry." she looked away for a bit, certainly embarrassed and certainly trying to hide it. Unfortunately for her, she wasn't really able to do it. "My name is Ava. Av. Ava. Ava or Av, whichever one you like best," she replied with a grin. "And, before I show you the way to the magical world of Potage' Cauldron Shop, that's apparently not visible to normal human eyes-" she added, obviously exaggerating and jokingly pointing out that one little mistake the boy has made "-I need to buy something. Unlike you, I didn't come here by mistake and still want to buy something." finishing her sentence, she dragged the boy around the shop, trying to make him help her with a decision. He didn't really seem eager to do it, so the girl gave up and led him out of Weasley's, straight to Potage's Cauldron Shop.
[Ava leaves topic dragging Angus out with her (don't worry I got his consent first). C:]
