Danger Lurks....
I was wandering through Diagon Alley when something caught my eye. A store. More importantly, a potion ingredients store. I rushed over there, forgetting my pure-blood training, skidded to a stop just before I got to the door, composed myself, and entered. The smell of different herbs, spices, and decomposing animals hit me. Hard. I wandered, looking everywhere in delight. I tried to soak up every single detail, and preserve it in my mind. I barely held back a squeal of ecstasy. I would have gladly spent hours there, carefully observing everything. "Ooh, preserved Ashwinder eggs!" I said with glee. Most likely when I got older, I would look for a summer job in Diagon Alley, and the first place I would start in would be right here. I would be perfect for the job. After all, I already saw several deficiencies in the organization. And I would be the perfect employee. Quiet, ready to follow orders, efficient. But this was too much planning ahead. I wished I could buy something from the incredible shop, but I had to go on and get the rest of my supplies from the other shops. I hadn't even gone to Madame Malkin's yet for my robes! Farewell, the place of my dreams, thought I. Until we meet again.

Dance poor people, dance and drown, dance fair Paris to the Ground. Dance poor people, dance and drown, dance fair Paris, ashes now.
