Oliver, was very excided, shopping for Hogwarts. Something he had been dreaming about since he got his letter. Though he was trying to contain his excitement. The family, as well as Oliver, did have a reputation to uphold after all. What would people say if they saw an Armani child bouncing down the streets like this was his first time at the alley? It sounded absurd just thinking about it. No, walking and admiring the shops as he checked things of his list was good enough for him.

He was shopping with his whole family, At least, they were all there. Oliver and Aaron where getting most of the school supplies on there own. Seeing as they were the only two in Hogwarts at this time. Ollie going to his first, and Aaron into his seventh. One starting school, and the other getting prepared to leave it. "What's next on the list?" Aaron asked, as they were following what Oliver needed for the most part. Most of the places he needed to go, Aaron did to.

"Books, I need books next." He said looking down at the list, most of what has been crossed off. Books where next. He looked up at Aaron. He could of course, use his 'hand me down' books, robes, really everything. But, the Armani's always strived for the best. So of course he would be getting brand new everything. Aaron nodded and started to lead Oliver through the streets. Passing by many witches and wizards, some like them, were shopping for there supplies to.

They passed by the Quidditch supply store on there way to Flourish and Blotts, with the brooms displayed in the window. A big part of him wanted to get on Gryffindor's quidditch team. As he knew he would be Gryffindor. There was no way he would not be. He knew he was strong to. So he thought he would make a good beater. However, he did not have much time to think on this, as he felt his arm being grabbed by Aaron. Dragging him along the streets. A seemingly theme for the trip. "Come on, quit starting. If you want a broom, we can get you a broom. After we get your other stuff." Ollie could almost hear the eye roll in his brothers voice.

He pulled his arm away still walking with him. "We have all day, Staring for a second doesn't hurt anyone." He replied back, with his own eye roll. There was no real need for a rush, none that he saw at least. But still, Aaron was right. He could get one later. Maybe order one once he gets to Hogwarts, after he settles down in his classes. Things like that.

As soon as they walked into the store, Oliver couldn't help but think. 'damn. It's crowded.' Turns out, a lot of people were shopping that day. Maybe they shouldn't have put it off for a long as they did. Trying to push there way to the shelves, Aaron and Oliver did get separated. It was bound to happen anyways, Aaron needed much more advanced books then Oliver. So it didn't mater much to him, as long as he got his books in the end.

Looking at his list, then at the shelves, he was pretty lost. There were so many books, with lots of spines, lots of words. The books just never seemed to end. He shot glares at the people that bumped into him, sure it was crowded, but he should at least have some elbow room. He sighed and grabbed a book of the shelf, looking to be sure it was the one he needed. An easy one, Hogwarts : a history. He marked that of of his list. Having some trouble balancing the book, parchment and quill.

Interacting : @Elisa Shakestra |||| @n/a : Mentioning

@Oliver Armani

Elisa smiled as she walked around the shop, observing the different shelves that adorned books of uncountable genres, she had always enjoyed reading and this place was practically heaven for her bookie heart, Elisa walked around the shop, her hands filled with a stack of books which included both her textbooks for 2nd year and some extra book for her to read during the year, while her newly brought ferret, Tsuki laid around her neck peacefully,

As Elisa squeezed through the crowds, she couldn't help but chuckle seeing all the new first years shopping for their books, everyone excited and fascinated by the shop, seeing this she recalled her own experience last year when it was first time in the shop, clearly in awe after seeing the wide selection of books in the shop, but time had flown in a blink of an eye as she finds herself now, already a 2nd year. Elisa was about to go pick more books when her eyes fell on a familiar face, Oliver Armani, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Armani who were close friends of her parents, the boy seemed quite lost and struggling with carrying all the stuff while being stuck in the crowd,

While Elisa's initial plan was to scare him from behind but seeing his situation with all the books, she slowly took out her wand and muttered a "Wingardium Leviosa" as the goods in his hand begin to levitate, she then approached him and said "You good? What were you thinking while carrying such loads yourself in this crowd?" she lectured him playfully, her eyes then fell on the list in his hand and the confusion in his eyes, of course he was struggling, the worst part of the countless shelves in the was that every book was located at one shelf or the other, often confusing individuals who were here alone or for the first time, "Do you need some help finding the books? it can be quite frustrating to find all those books."
