the mess & the magic
| xxx |
It was morning, though certainly not early, after all – who wakes up early on holiday? Regardless, the Littoreus siblings ate breakfast in the Leaky Cauldron pub, while their parents still lay soundly asleep in their inn room. After breakfast the siblings decided to head out to Diagon Alley, as it was far too boring and dull to spend a promising sunny day inside the greyish pub sulking.
They made their way to the most entertaining-looking place, of which they’d caught a glimpse when shopping for school supplies in the alley – Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes. It was a riot of colors, lights and sounds, a true wonderland for children such as the Littoreus siblings. The group of four, with the youngest lagging behind them, trying to keep up, entered the shop, and were immediately met with an atmosphere that was surprisingly energetic and loud, especially for the morning. Though the sounds and colors that flashed hundreds of times per millisecond, could have overwhelmed some, the place was exactly Mary’s pace.
She detached from her siblings, whose attention was caught by the pygmy puffs displayed by the entrance.
Mary headed to the section that was the loudest in the whole shop, and probably the one that saw the most accidents in a day. Dungbombs and exploding bonbons were flying and bursting in all directions, from being dropped, either accidentally or on purpose. This place was a haven, and with wide eyes, the girl started walking beside the shelves, taking in the temptations that were demonstrated just in the reach of her hand.

the mess & the magic
It was a perfect day for shopping, Arlen thought, heading to the Diagonal Alley. She was here just once, when buying her school supplies. That day, she didn’t have time and forces to investigate every shop, she’d seen. But today, oh yes, today, she had her all day here. Arlen went through the Leaky Cauldron and down to the Diagonal Alley. She felt so free. Smiling, she went down the Diagonal Alley, almost jumping out of excitement.
Suddenly she saw a wonderful shop, a Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. It was very bright, every colour of the rainbow shimmering in sunlight. Arlen almost rushed to the shop. She carefully opened one door and some kind of a firecracker almost hit her head. Arlen quickly bent down and laughed, continuing her way through the shop. She decided to start from the loudest part of the shop, were something was exploding and people were laughing. Arlen slowly went there, looking around, watching the amazing, brilliant and genius goods. Oh, some of them were just so thrilling, so satisfying that you couldn’t even think that this was possible to create, until you see it. Arlen wanted to buy everything, hole shop for sure. It was the best shop she’d seen EVER in her hole life!
While walking through the shop, observing the shelves, Arlen accidentally bumped into someone. “Sorry,” she murmured, raising her head. She saw a girl with a blonde hair, looking the same age as Arlen was. Arlen smiled and said, “Wonderful shop, isn’t it?”

Just as Mary was examining a particularly interesting package of explosive goods, someone bumped into her from behind and she spun around on her heel to face the stranger.
In front of her stood a girl who looked around the same age, though much more elegant and put-together than Mary herself was. The girl’s eyes were just as amazed as Mary’s herself, and the both of them seemed to be in the same boat in this very shop that they stood in, observing the magic of chaos with amazement.
“Sorry,” the stranger said, and the blonde rascal was just about to reply when the other girl offered her a smile and asked:
“Wonderful shop, isn’t it?” Mary could not have agreed more.
It wasn't often that strangers struck up a conversation with her, most often it was her or no one. But this unknown girl certainly seemed nice and just the right amount of spontaneous for Mary’s taste. So, with a smile just as bright as the one she had received, she replied in an upbeat tone:
“It is indeed! If I could I would buy it all, every single thing on the shelves! They’re all so brilliant. What ingenious pals it takes to think of such things!” she exclaimed with genuine fascination.
“Are ya attending Hogwarts? Oh! Oh! Are ya, by any chance, looking to buy something for a prank?” the last word left her mouth like some kind of sacred script, full of hope and intrigue.
