I'll be back!
It was the final thing on his list...finally. He hasn't done this much walking in his life! His feet were aching and his shoulders were starting to hurt from the bag of items he was carrying--which was exceptionally heavy, by the way. He mumbled soft curse words under his breath as he looked at what was next on his list. Books, and a lot of them too. Did he really need all of these? How many classes would he be needing books for, anyway? He wasn't much of a text book type of guy even if he adored reading, and he was silently dreading having to look for all of these books in the book store. But now that he thought of it...that means Diagon Allye has a book store! Hopefully it didn't just have text books, cause that would be suuuper disappointing.
Jade trudged down the cobblestone pathways of Diagon Alley until he passed a store labled Flourish and Blotts. Just from the name of it he would have never guessed that it was a book store, so if it weren't for the books on display near the window he would have minded his own business and walked right past it. "Flourish and Blotts?" He asked himself, looking up at the sign in question. "What does that even mean?" He'd have to ask the owner sooner or later, but for the time being he'd have to find all necessary books for what he could only assume was for his classes. As he opened the door he was absolutely amazed at what he saw. Books...books...guess what? More books! Shelves that touched the foor to the ceiling, some even covering all of the walls, the perimeter and most of the area of this building was completely filled with books. Cook books, books about wands, beasts, and one that even looked like a rabid animal. It was all...heaven. Absolute heaven--at least to a book geek like himself. Almost in a daze at all the books he had seen, he immediately snapped out of it as he saw the section labeled 'School books'. He wandered over there and began looking for the necessary books he would need for his classes. He'd start with Magical Theory and then on to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which seemed more like a story than an actual book about beasts. So...are you telling him that Unicorns and Phoenixes exist too?! Could he have one as a pet...?
He finished his book search and gathered all books that were required, taking one last look at the book store and then at its keeper.
"Don't worry, I'll be back!"
