Need to get your Yearly Books? This is the place to be! There are many books in stock, enough for everyone, including extras!

Inside

Toby pranced around the bookshop not even looking for the books he needed, trusting Riley to get them as he did every year.

Riley looked at the rows of books, finding The Quidditch Cup Playbook by Andromeda Thespians and The Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament Playbook by Andromeda Thespians (Advanced) books, grabbing two of each for him and his friend.

"That's all we need correct? Like literally nothing else from here?" Toby asked, walking with Riley to the check-out, watching the taller pay, waiting for an answer.

"We gotta get robes and then we can go get owl stuff."

Toby rolled his eyes and followed Riley out.

Sylvie Forsaken walked up to the door, her brother Gabrial was beside her.
"So, what books do we need this year?" Gabrial asked Sylvie as he opened the door to the shop and they walked inside. Sylvie looked down at her list,
"Well, The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 7 by Miranda Goshawk," she said to Gabrial as the door shut behind them. Sylvie led Gabrial over to the wall where the books by Miranda Goshawk were and Gabrial pulled out a small pouch Sylvie's adopted mother, Freya Tan, had given them. Sylvie searched the shelf until she found the grade seven books on spells then she grabbed two of them off the shelf. "I'm also going to need 'The Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament Playbook by Andromeda Thespians' this year for theater," Sylvie said glancing at her list. Sylvie was proud that she'd gotten selected to be one of the actors in the school's best play of the year.
"Oh yes, a book for the class I dropped out of years ago," Gabrial said with a sigh and an eye roll.
"Oh, that's just because your a bad actor," Sylvie said with a sigh.
"Yeah, yeah, let's go find it," Gabrial said rolling his eyes again and walking away from the Miranda Goshawk shelves to go find the Thespians family section.

((Whose doing the first message, Venus?))

((I could? Since you replied last in the other topic))

((Alright, sounds good.))

Clay didn't seem to notice how George had cut off and stopped speaking. But he did notice the Ravenclaws silence when he followed him into Flourish and Blotts. 'Did I do something wrong? He just.. shut down' he thought as he let the door to the book store close quietly behind him. And then is when he finally realized he had his hand in George's hand. Clayton glanced down at their hands and then he looked at George's face before looking at their hands again. Clay's hands were bigger as he was taller than the other boy by a good few inches. But it was their hands fit perfectly. With a rather chocked voice Clay started speaking, "Uh, yeah, do you want to split up? Or we could go around together?"

Sylvie walked through the isles of books until she found the shelves labeled 'Thespians'.
"Found it," she said to her adopted brother, Gabrial, who was beside her looking at the other row of shelves.
"Finally," Gabrial muttered with a sigh. Sylvie stepped forwards and grabbed one of the few remaining books titled 'The Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament Playbook by Andromeda Thespians'. "Are we done here?" Gabrial asked once Sylvie was standing up.
"Yep!" she said. Gabrial nodded and she followed him up to the front of the store where Gabrial paid for the books with the money they Sylvie's adopted mother, Freya Tan, had been keeping.


Once Gabrial had paid for the books, the two siblings, Gabrial Tan and Sylvie Forsaken Tan, headed towards the entrance of the store ready to move on to the next store on their list.

“I-Uh—Your choice..” George muttered, scratching the back of his head, apparently nervous. He looked up at Clay, and then George quickly put on his clout goggles to hide half his face. He tried to ignore the fact they were still holding hands, and he was unsure if they should stay together or part. “I mean.. I really don’t mind either way.” ‘No, that did not go as planned. I should have said something different. What am I thinking? Okay, I really need to get myself back into my normal state..’

Clay smirked at the small stutter in words George had before squeezing his hand once and letting go, much to his wands anger. "I'll probably slow you down, so I'll go off on my own and we'll meet back here? If that's okay with you" Clay said quietly as he winked at George with a two finger salut before going to walk up the staircase to the upper floor of the book shop.

George was officially left as a bright red RavenClaw who had just lost his senses of hiding his emotions. His arms were tight at his sides before he took a deep breath and went to go grab some Defense Against the Dark Arts books that were hidden in the very back of the shop on the first floor. ‘Don’t fall for it. It’s stupid. Love is stupid. You’re not feeling love. Friends. Just friends. Nothing more. Keep that in your brain, idiot.’ George thought, arguing with himself. ‘No, I need to just let people see the real me. No. I can’t. I have to hide everything from everyone. I can’t let some stupid.. .. ..stupidly hot Gryffindor get in the way. Wait, what did I just think? What? Hot? What in Merlins Beard is wrong with me?’ George grabbed the book he needed, and went to go grab regular Transfiguration books and such.

Kiara walked in and immediately saw the boy again. *Oh no* she thought. The werewolf started to act up inside her. She shoved it down and walked in the opposite direction of the boy.

George turned around as he heard the bell ring. Seeing Kiara, he slowly backed away, and quickly grabbed his Transfiguration books. Then he went upstairs, grabbed the rest of the books, carried them downstairs, and paid. He got permission to use a spell that’ll have his books put away back in his room at home. Then, he made his way back upstairs and found Clay. “That girl is here..” He muttered.

Kiara wandered over to the potions section, hoping to find a books on wolfsbane.

Sylvie and Gabrial reached the door of the shop. Gabrial pushed it open causing the bell to right again and he held it open long enough for Sylvie, who held the three books, to get out of the store before he let it swing closed.

Clayton didn't know what he was doing, he usually didn't show much emotion towards others, much less touch them or enjoy their touch. As he let his mind wonder, Clay continued around the upstairs and grabbed a few books on magical creatures as well as a few books on runes, signs and codes, and a few other things before grabbing his school books. He didn't how what it was about George that made his stomach fill with butterflies or made his heart flutter more than usual. Clay wanted to hate it, but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to.
Clay passed a few girls as they giggled and pulled their hair around their fingers but he didn't take notice to them, instead he grabbed two books on mental emotions and love, stuff like that. He wanted to see if he could find an explanation to this feeling.

Clayton turned to go back downstairs to pay for his books but stopped when he saw George. When he heard George say that the girl was back, his blood flared. "Don't worry, just stick with me and it'll be okay. Just try not to speak to her" Clay mumbled softly to George as he shifted his books to lay safely on his arm before grabbing the Ravenclaws hand again.

George, on his way towards Clay, had indeed spotted several females looking at Clayton with a look that George hated. When Clay grabbed George’s hand, he stopped breathing for a moment, before he gently spoke, “Okay.. I’ll stay close..” The shorter RavenClaw boy moved some of his hair out of his face, still wearing his clout goggles. “Uhm.. Clay? I have a.. uh.. a question..”

Kiara flipped through a book on healing potions, but couldn't find wolfsbane in it. She pur the book back and gave a frustrated huff. "I need to find the recipe, or I'll kill someone next full moon."

*put

((Hey Book, depending on the device you’re on, if you mess up a comment you can press the edit button. It’s located between reply and delete. But if it doesn’t work on your device then what you’re doing works, too))

((Yeah I'm on a Kindle and it won't let me edit comments.))

((Ohh, yeah, completely understandable. On certain devices the things you see are limited based upon the device itself and how small it is

((I know!! its so annoying!!! but moving on))

With a quick look around the shop, Clay found the girl by the potions section, muttering words that no one could hear. Well no on execpt Clay, he heard what she said as if she said it right next to him. 'Kill who? Wait, tonight's a full moon' he thought as he gripped on George's hand a bit more tightly. "Hmhm? What's up?" He said as he glanced at George, realizing what he said.

“Uhm..” George sighed, then shook his head, “Nevermind. It’s nothing.” George looked at Kiara down in the potions section, and he let go of Clay’s hand. “You can go pay. I’ll wait outside for you.” George walked to the door, opening it. A ding sound came from the door as he did so, and he let it close behind him.
He waited outside, looking at the sky.

Kiara frustratedly flipped through another book. Nothing. She was starting to feel nervous. The werewolf inside her was acting up she couldn't push it down. She covered her face with her hands and tried to breath. *breath, just breath* she thought.

Clay looked confused, what had he done this time? He let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair before heading downstairs to pay for his books. He passed the girl but ignored her as he walked up to the counter and smiled weakly at the owner. Clayton made several gestured before the owner nodded their head and grabbed a small box from under the counter before handing it to Clay. With another nod, Clay placed a stack of gallons on the counter and turned to go outside but he decided to stop in front of the girl before he went outside. "Having trouble finding something? Maybe something to help a certain.. furry problem?" He whispered as he mutter something and his books disappeared.

George hummed to himself, closing his eyes and getting lost in thought. In general, it was a sweet tune. Most people would have probably tried to mimic him. George tapped his foot along to his humming. He raised his clout goggles, opening his eyes when the sun hit his face, then closing them again. When he did have them open, his left eye glittered diamond-blue, while his right was a warm brown. Then the RavenClaw realized his miniature jackalope horns were sticking out again, so he covered them with his hair for the second time that evening. Hoping nobody saw, he closed his eyes again and went back to peacefully humming.

((Sorry that it’s taking me a while to respond. I’m coloring with my brother))

Kiara froze in fear. He knew? How did he know?

((No worries! I'm doing some virtual tours with my brother, and working on a few characters))

Clay glanced towards the window, making sure George was still safe outside before returning his eyes to the girl. "So, it's true or it must be. Reacts really let people know what they know" He said, tilting his head at the girl before continuing, "I'm assuming you're looking for the ingredients needed for wolfsbane. Have you tried asking Professor Snape yet?" Clay asked before glancing outside again. His eyes found George but something was off, he realized the Ravenclaws horns on the top of his head and stored it away for later as he looked back at the girl.

She turned to him "I have all the ingredients, but I don't know how to brew it. I've asked Snape, but every time I ask he always says he's too busy. I've thought about going to Dumbledore, but I haven't yet."

It took him a while, but he finally decided to check what was going on. George peered inside through the window, and saw Clay talking to Kiara. His insides lurched again, but this time with aggression instead of flusteredness. He quickly looked away from the scene, despising Kiara with his life. Then.. he realized.. something was off. That was either his regular feeling, or it was because his jackalope form sensed predators. He had no idea which one it could possibly be of the two. He began humming quietly again. He did this when he was stressed and needed to calm down, or just hide his emotions in general.

((I'm just gonna edit my comment because I wanna make it a bit longer—I'm also bored))

((I'm so sorry for the wait, something came up and I wasn't able to get back to my laptop, also I might not be that active today, I have to clean almost the whole house))

Clay let out a frustrated sigh before flicking his hand again, making a single book appear in his waiting hands. The book looked old and definitely used but it also had some kind of glow surrounding it as well. "Here" Clayton started, shoving the book into the girl's hands, "This book has everything you need to know about wolfsbane and more. Don't make me regret this" he went to turn around and walk away before he looked back at Kiara and dropped his voice to a whisper, "And think before you go near George again. If I see you yelling at him or making him uncomfortable in anyway, I'll do more than just threaten you" And you that, Clay slipped out of the book store and went to meet up with the Ravenclaw boy again.

Kiara took the book gratefully and sighed. "Fine, I'll leave the kid alone." She watched as the strange boy went to meet the other boy, George, apparently. She knew strange boy would make good on his threat if he ever saw her again. "Well, at least I won't eat anyone when I go back to school." She purchased the book and walked out of the shop, completely ignoring the two standing outside.

((what's funny is I have another character also named Kiara, but she is wayyyyy nicer))

((Completely understandable! I’m probably going to be sketching most of today and helping my sister clean outside. People have been littering—plus the wind is “horrible” where I am for over half the year, so everything gets blown away))

George continued humming for a short period of time until he heard the door ring. He stopped immediately, and looked to see Clay standing there, then he saw Kiara step out of the shop. But she didn’t do anything. When she left, George gave Clay a nervous but grateful look of appreciation, “What were you even talking to her about in there?”

((Now that I'm realizing that V probably doesn't like me that much. I generally feel bad though, I didn't mean to offend them in anyway. Crap. I'm crying. I'm just gotten reply here—))

Clayton shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked out of the book store, ignoring Kiara completely now that he was done speaking to her. With a soft sigh, he put a smile on his face as he glanced around for George. When his eyes landed on him, Clay stepped closer to the Ravenclaw boy, "Nothing much, I just told her to back off from you" He said as he shrugged his shoulders. It was kind of the truth, but he didn't want to totally let the girl's secret out, it wasn't his to tell.

George turned red in the cheeks, and opened his mouth to say something, but he had no idea what to say. He simply closed his mouth and looked at the ground below. “Hm..” He pulled out the list, “Where should we go now?..” He whispered, thinking of where to go. Then, with sudden energy, George shouted, “Aha! Perfect time to go to Slug and Jiggers Apothecary! I just realized they have a sale on some of the things we need for Potions Class this year!”

Isabella pushed her way into the crowd and started scanning for the required books. She looked around and saw tons of classmates she didn't really know. She mainly had kept to herself first year, but not by choice. Everyone was always whispering about the adopted Malfoy girl and she just didn't want to deal with it, so she ignored it. She retrieved her books and waited in line to pay. Her parents and siblings had all went their own ways that morning. She decided that she would go get some pumpkin juice while she figured out what to do next.

Rowan stepped in and looked around nervously at all the older kids. Sure she was fourteen, but she was pretty short for a fourteen year old. ((I'm short as well, I'm like, only 5'2"))

Nya skipped in, trying to remember all the books she needed. She never was good at memorizing stuff. She picked out a few books and waited to see if Jay had the list of the supplies they would need.

((. "I'm shorter than the average height" Neon says.
Neon is a year younger than me.. And literally 5'2. I'm 4'9. Help.))

Jay walked in with Nya, watching her grab some books. Then he spoke, "Yeah, I have the list." He pulled it out of his pocket on either side. With a glance around, he spotted the girl again, 'I see her literally everywhere I go!' He thought, but not in an aggressive tone. Just a shocked voice in his head.

Rowan walked over to the DADA section. "Which one do I need again?" she whispered to herself. Professor Quirrel was honestly the worst teacher she'd ever had in the DADA field.

Jay walked in with Nya, watching her grab some books. Then he spoke, "Yeah..."

((HAHA I'm 5'7 almost 5'8! I'm well above average for my age))

Rowan looked all over the shelf and winced at one of the books. Resistance: Fighting Off The Unforgivable Curses. Rowan hated thinking about that night....the Deatheaters..... green light.....her screams.

((I'M SO SHORT! WHY!))

"Ok! Thanks." she said, taking it and scanning through it, grumbling, "Why is it always so many books?!" she thought, then turned the Jay, "Did you already get your books?" she asked as she grabbed the last of the books on the list.

Jay walked in w..."

(i'm 5'2. eff you)

Jay shook his head no. "I'll grab them. I can pay for both of ours," He added quickly to the end of his first few words. He quickly grabbed the books he needed himself as well.
