I was in front of a shop, my father and my cousin were discussing something unknown to me, while my mother had just placed a hand on my shoulder, I looked at her and she smiled at me What are you waiting for to come in?She says to me, I smile back and then look at my cousin Shall we go in? he turns to look at me and then looks at my father who answers for him Mattheo and I will stay here, but you can come in with your motherI look at my mother and say Okay immediately after I enter the shop.
As soon as I enter I notice that there is another girl inside who is looking for who knows what, my shoes make noise with every step making this place almost disturbing, there are cauldrons and glass vials everywhere, I feel totally lost.

Even if I knew where I was I would still have the orientation of a blind man.

I turn around and I no longer see my mother.

Is it a family trait to disappear at random without leaving a trace?

I wander around the shop looking for what I need, I carefully reread the list, finally I find one of the requested objects and I go over to get it, everything was going well until I see that I am 2 steps away from the girl I noticed before, not It bothers me, but I was scared for not having noticed it before.
I take the glass flasks and put them in a bag, all I'm missing is the cauldron, but it's difficult to understand which of all these, maybe the girl can give me a hand.

Or maybe not

After all, I won't know until I try, so I go over to ask him and... I go back, so who am I kidding? I don't know how to start a conversion, I keep looking for the cauldron, if only my mother hadn't disappeared!

Rose stood in front of a shelf lined with cauldrons of various sizes, each one more intriguing than the last. She had already picked up a few glass phials, placing them carefully in her bag, but now she was searching for the correct cauldron she needed as a first year. She flipped through her school list, muttering to herself as she tried to find the description.

her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the shop door creaking open. She glanced up and saw a girl about her age walk in, looking a bit lost. Rose noticed the girl's light brown eyes that had just a hint of green in them. Then she noticed the girl's hair, a mix of blonde and brown, tied back in a ponytail with some loose strands framing her face. Lastly, Rose's eyes caught sight of a distinctive scar over the girl's right eye, which made Rose both curious and empathetic.

Rose turned back to the cauldrons, pretending to be engrossed in her choices but was secretly watching the girl out of the corner of her eye. The girl seemed to be searching for something, occasionally glancing at a list in her hand. Rose noticed her hesitating as she got closer, almost as if she wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.

Taking a deep breath, Rose decided to make the first move. She would never normally do this but with the start of the school year fast approaching, Rose desperately wanted to make some friends. "Hi", Rose said softly, hoping not to startle her. "Are you looking for something in particular? I'm trying to figure out which cauldron to get. There are just so many options!"

I hear someone talking to me from behind, I tense up.

But why do I always have to do these fools?! [/the]

I turn around with a fake smile on my face, maybe she believes it, from what I understand from what she said she wants to help me, which is fantastic, although I hope she didn't come here because she saw me approaching and then walking away, that would be a terrible thing that I want to save myself, in short, it would be quite embarrassing, I hope he at least doesn't point it out to me.

I think it's the minimum, at least he doesn't want to make me run away out of embarrassment, but what can I say! I? Embarassed? Never.

Hi! If I can't figure out which cauldron to get, do you have any ideas? I ask her with a certainty that, at this moment, does not belong to me, she smiles at me, I smile back at her and she tells me Oh, don't worry, I can help you if you want, I haven't found it either. I nod and follow her as she checks all the cauldrons looking for the right one.

Ding!

The bell above the door rings through the store signifying a new customer or customers had arrived. Maggie scurried into the store, clutching her white summer hat with one had to keep it atop her head. She held the door open for Veda with her foot. She sported a pair of shiny, well-kept-looking mary-janes.

She leaned over from the door on her tiptoes to peek out the window. It was difficult to parse anything of note outside through all the display items. Her heart was racing again. Had her father seen her? Was he looking for her? Was he still distracted? Was she smiling? Oh lord, she was. She felt the corner of her lips tugging upwards. That wasn't right. So why did it feel so . . . exhilarating?

The foreign smells of potion ingredients snapped her out of her inner thoughts. She shook her head as they assaulted her senses. The fragrance was unlike anywhere else she'd ever been. She shook her head as if she'd been hit with smelling salts.

She turned away from the window, positioning herself so she couldn't be seen through it. An important move. The girl stuck out like a sore thumb in her expensive preppy cardigan and dress. She looked like she was dressed for Sunday church, not school shopping. Not to mention her clothes screamed muggle. Most here were dressed in magical garb.

Her eyes landed on the other two girls in the store. She quickly adjusted the strap on her tote bag so it wouldn't fall. "Oh! Hello," Maggie said, wiggling her fingers at the duo. She gave them a small curtsey.

Veda walked in after Maggie, looking around with awe. Every little thing amazed her, no matter the smallness. The store was dark and gloomy, with bright flames on cream colored candles the only thing lighting the small shop up with. At the back she saw a flicker of a figure walking into the backroom. Or more like, teleporting? Veda set that matter aside for now.

She didn't see the girls Maggie was with until Maggie stood upright, the movement catching Veda's eye. Finally looking at the two, she sees a girl with light brownish hair in a ponytail and brown eyes, and a girl with darker curly brown hair and hazel eyes. The girl with the ponytail had narrowed eyes at Maggie, which Veda didn't like. It doesn't matter if they just became friends, for some reason she was very protective of her.

Veda turned to face the other girls while she stood next to Maggie. "Uh. Hi?" She said, even though it came out more as a question. Veda was always shy around new people, though with everything that's happening she seemed to be coming out of her shell more.

While Ruby was, fortunately, helping me find the right cauldron to buy, a girl approaches us and greets us, Ruby smiles faintly, I look at her, but I don't show any kind of emotion.

First I understand if she is a good person, then I see if I can trust him.

I still had the smells of the potions that entered my nose and disturbed my sense of smell, they weren't bad, nor even annoying because I was used to them, but they were strong, too strong for me.
I try not to notice and focus on the girl, Hi, I'm Giulia, she is... I stop suddenly, I hadn't asked him his name, but luckily she is the one to complete the sentence. Rose! My name is Rose I smile, but I immediately regain my composure, Exactly, who are you? the mysterious girl is about to answer me when another girl enters and stands next to her, I study them both, the girl I was talking to before has curly red hair, which falls to her shoulders and frames her face already decorated with freckles, while the new girl has long brown hair that goes down to her shoulders and 2 Immense brown eyes that anyone could get lost in.

Everyone except me, of course.

Eh. Hello? Says the new arrival, I study her carefully, then I say hello, Ciao, tu chi sei?vi serve una mano? I ask sounding the kindest but at the same time detached, because that's how I am.

Rose turned to the girl she just met with a warm smile, feeling a sense of camaraderie with her new acquaintance. Just as she was about to ask Guila more about her school list, she noticed a girl approaching them.

This girl caught Rose's eye immediately. Her ginger curls were meticulously styled, and her face, dotted with freckles, looked cheerful. Rose admired the girl's effort to look neat and put together, contrasting her own carefree appearance.

"Oh, Hello," the girl greeted them, giving a small curtsey. Rose blinked in surprise at the formality but found it endearing. The girl that Rose had started talking to spoke up and said "Hi, I'm Guila, she is..." She hesitated, glancing at Rose.

"Rose! My name is Rose!" Rose finished with a friendly wave, her hazel eyes sparkling with excitement. Guila turned back to Maggie. "Exactly, who are you?"

Before the girl could answer, a second girl approached. She was shorter, with long light brown hair and big brown eyes that reminded Rose of a fawn. Veda seemed shy, her posture reserved, and she said, "Uh, Hi?"

Rose could tell immediately that these two girls knew each other. Guila spoke up before Rose had the chance and asked if they needed any help. Rose felt a hint of excitement at the prospect of making even more friends before her first year at Hogwarts.

Maggie let the door close gently behind Veda once the other girl had followed her in. She looked at the other girls, taking in their faces, their voices, their appearance, everything and anything she could glean. It was a habit she'd gained from her mother. Or rather something she'd been taught by her mother.

"It's nice to meet you both," Maggie said with a big, bright smile. Rose and Giulia. She committed the names to memory. She was quite good with names and faces. It came with all the functions her parents made her attend. She'd been chastised enough by her mother over the years for forgetting a name or face. Or as her mother liked to call it 'embarrassing her'. She said it showed she didn't care about the attendees at the event. Which . . . wasn't particularly untrue. A bunch of stuffy aristocrats patting themselves on the back for being born wealthy while downing wine and eating fancy hors d'oeuvres and conversing about the most boring topics fathomable by man was, in fact, not Maggie's idea of a good time. Though she wasn't entirely sure what a good time was. Or if she'd ever even had one.

"I'm Maggie," she introduced, walking up to the cauldrons to inspect them. She'd seen a few other kids carrying them around Diagon Alley, but she hadn't gotten a close look at any of them. She didn't have much to compare them to. Truth be told she'd never seen a 'muggle' cauldron either. Not very in style these days. She wondered if there was even a difference. She stood on her tippytoes and peered into the cauldron.

"And this is Veda," she said, her voice echoing loudly off the inside of the cauldron. Maggie quickly jumped back, flat-footed again. Her emerald eyes went wide, and she brought her hand to her mouth to cover a giggle. Her cheeks flushed at her echoey mishap. "Sorry," she apologized, looking at Veda sympathetically.

Despite her cautiousness around the new girls, Veda let out a chuckle at Maggie's bewilderment that the cauldron echoed. "Your good," She said softly, then looked at Rose and Giulia again. It would be nice to make more friends for Hogwarts... Making up her mind, Veda smiled hesitantly.

"Nice to meet you. Both of you. Do either of you know where a," she checked her list again, "Standard tin model, size two cauldron is? Me and Maggie are, uh, new to all of this." she said, than mentally cursed herself. Why say that of all things? She could have asked the shopkeeper for goodness sakes!

Rose's eyes were still, more welcoming? Doe-like, she decided. While Giulia's eyes were like a snake, predatorial and dangerous. However, Veda assumed that beneath that cold exterior was a soft and sweet girl. Sometimes people act aloof when they are just shy and introverted.

Rose looked like a friendly girl. She had a smile on her face, unlike her and Giulia who were silently judging them all. Veda bet Rose had a kind and loving upbringing. However, Veda was only assuming. She might be dead wrong, who knows? Veda waited for one of the other girls to answer her question.

[quotes][quotes]I bite my lip to keep from laughing at Maggie's accident, next thing you know, the new girl, who I understand is called Veda, does the talking, Are you okay? Maggie seems to nod, then Veda smiles shyly and looks at me.

That look... She's studying me, I'm sure of it.

Then she starts talking again Nice to meet you. Both. Do any of you know where there is a... the girl looks at the list carefully then continues the sentence standard tin model, size two cauldron? Maggie and I are, uh, new to all this. at these words I blanch slightly.

She won't be a Muggleborn...

I look at her a little shocked, I don't have any problems with Muggle-borns, for goodness sake, as far as I'm concerned they are as important as us purebloods, but I've never expressed it out loud in front of my family, my mother would understand me, but. my father... I don't know, but let's not jump to hasty conclusions.
I wish I could give you a hand, because none of this is new to me... But I lost my mother and I'm as lost as you are, in short Rose was giving me a hand, even if I think it's that cauldron deep down that we're looking for. I point to a distant cauldron and I get closer, all the other girls follow me, we look closely at the cauldron and I smile Yes, I think this is exactly what we're looking for , now just to ask... Are you Muggleborn, Half-Blood or Pureblood? I ask looking into their eyes, I still have my cold and inquiring gaze, but I don't ask out of malice.
