Finally, a bookstore! PV: Jay Valkyrie
@Jay Valkyrie
Wisteria stepped inside Flourish and Blotts and looked around in awe. Finally, a place where she felt comfortable and could just sit down and read. She wandered along the aisles and aisles of books. Big books, small books, books with no titles, books that looked like they were about to eat you... it was Wisteria's dream. She took a couple of books from the shelves and looked at the titles, debating if she wanted to read them or not.
Actually, I don't mind reading any of these... they all look so interesting.
She opened a book called From Egg to Inferno: A Dragon Keeper's Guide. Wisteria was interested in dragons, so she started reading the book. It was very detailed, with lots of examples and step-by-step instructions. She loved it.
After she finished that book, she started searching for another one to read. She eventually found one with a red cover and three gold faces on it. The title was The Philosophy of the Mundane.
Seems interesting, Wisteria thought. She reverently took the book from the shelf and opened it. It was about why muggles choose to ignore magic. Wisteria loved books like this, ones that dived deep into psychology and why people think what they think.
Wait! This is a bookstore, not a library. I can't just read everything here without buying anything, Wisteria thought. She decided to buy the book she hadn't finished reading, The Philosophy of the Mundane.

Jay had spent all day out in the rain while shopping for her school supplies and now, finally she had a moment to sit and breathe. She walked into Flourish and Blotts, half expecting it to be quiet but no. It was filled to the brim with students and parents buying books for the next school year.
Maybe there's a better spot to look for books at the back...
Jay headed towards the back of the shop, pushing past adults and kids alike, some her age some older."Oi watch it" someone muttered to her left as she squeezed through. Eventually after what felt like hours, Jay managed to get to a quiet space where she could look through books.
She was mainly looking for herbology books, on magical or normal herbs. Jay had a fascination surrounding plants and their medicinal properties, she believed that sometimes herbs could be even more interesting than magic itself, they could heal in ways modern wizarding and muggle medicine couldn't and Jay found it fascinating.
Finding books on magical herbs in a magical bookstore was easy enough, but finding ones on just normal herbs? Not a simple task, Jay was stuck scouring the shelves for a good hour before she found an interesting book. Muggle Herbs and Their Properties was the title of the book. It was old and seemingly unused, no one had even bothered to pick this one up let alone be looking for it in the first place but to Jay? That book was treasure. She opened it up to flick through the pages, inside there was a page for each herb you could think of with mounds of information.
Jay pushed through the crowd again to get to the front desk so she could buy the book when she bumped into someone, she looked to see who she had collided with and saw a girl about her age with short black hair and light brown eyes that had a sort of coldness to them and she was holding a book titled The Philosophy of the Mundane

Wisteria looked up and saw the girl she had just collided with. The girl had half brown half pink hair and dark brown eyes. Wisteria instantly felt the fear bubbling up inside of her, the exact feeling she felt when she had to talk to someone new.
"S-sorry about that," she said to the new girl, putting a bookmark in her book and closing it.
I'm always in everyone's way... she thought. Then she noticed the book the girl was holding. Muggle herbs and Their Properties.
Interesting, Wisteria thought. Does she like learning about Muggles too? Wisteria decided to ask her.
"I noticed that you have a book about Muggle herbs. I'm also interested in Muggles."
Wisteria held up the book she had in her hand, The Philosophy of the Mundane. "I'm reading about how and why Muggles choose to ignore magic. A fascinating subject, really. I'm assuming you like herbology?" she asked the girl.
If she does, we could become friends,Wisteria thought.
Wait! I actually spoke to someone! AND I WAS CONFIDENT! My parents will be so proud of me, they're always saying that I should talk more and make more friends instead of just sitting with my books all day, Wisteria thought as she waited for the other girl's reply.
