Katashi walked in the room and instantly, Madam Malkin stopped what she was doing to give him a cold stare. she had her assistant continue measuring a soon to be first year, as she wished instead to watch Katashi and be ready for mischief.
she didn't know his ability. if she did he would have been reported to the ministry, which he knew from a couple ministry officials he had probed, she had not. her mind also had no information that would indicate she knew.
what she did know was that three years ago he talked her incessantly while she was trying to work, then attempted to underpay for a robe. from his perspective, he was trying to get her to look him in the eyes, but she was being too much of a busy-body to look. he had yet to perfect his potion...so his plan failed. he covered by claiming he dropped his other coin purse somewhere. he left for a while, pretending to try and find it. he then came back in later to find she still would not look. he then gave steady apologies and bought a set of second hand robes instead. and her mind showed lots of thoughts that she thought something was up.
two years ago he succeeded in getting her to look into his eyes. she remembered him, and he managed to dim the memory, and almost added a conversation to her memories before she looked away. her nose was clogged and his new potion was not working. this made it hard to alter large amounts of thoughts or things she was currently thinking about...this further made things difficult because thoughts and memories had to be fresh in a person's mind in order for him to change them quickly. he couldn't do it by force...and he eventually became infuriated by her. she noticed all his efforts to make her let him buy the top of the line robes in his hand. this time he couldn't use the same excuse as last time, so she figured he was trying to pull a fast one somehow, though legilimancy never crossed her mind (he knew that because he was still reading it), she found him cloths in his size and price range, and sent him on his way.
last year, as soon as he entered the store she pointed to a preselected group of robes in his price and size in a stack near the corner. his name and likeness were on a sheet of paper stuck to them with a slight adhesive spell. she continued to focus on his work. he knew trying to manipulate her mind would fail from her posture...so he ended up just grabbing some top grade robes in a size a little above his, and leaving quickly without paying. the woman billed the library he stayed at, and he had to spend all of christmas and summer trying to pay back the head librarian.
she believed his first year in school had corrupted him, and in a way it had. when he entered school his first year, he thought outward appearance was irrelivant. slytherins, however, value signs of wealth and heritage. as a result, his cheap clothing had managed to get him mocked in countless occasions.
she physically handed him his robes this time. she had begun billing the library ahead of time, and her and the head librarian were in communication. there was nothing he could do to get better robes this time, even though he had some extra cash. he sighed to himself, and put the robes into his bag. then he left the store, his pride wounded and his spirits much lower than they were at the beginning of this trip.

  "Follow Your Heart"
XXXXX1st YearXXXXXHolding the stack of books, Kyril had entered the shop. Madam Malkin herself had greeted the girl. "Ahh! With all those books, it must be your first year!" Kyril simply nodded, nomming on a marshmallow. Madam Malkin simply grinned, taking out one of the best sets of female starters. "That'll be 450 galleons." Kyril blinked, with widened eyes. "Aha! You first years are so gullible." Kyril sighed, taking some galleons. Kyril took the set of robes and put it in her bag. The girl dug her hands under the pile of books, trying to lift it. It only took a couple of tries until she was off to scavenge for her supplies.

My name is: Jason Kirkland ══════════════════════════════Finally managing to separate himself from his mom, Jason entered the robe store and stared at the various robes and clothes hanging around the store. An assistant at the front of the store approched him with a smile. "Hello, welcome to Madam Malkin's. Right this way please," she said with a smile walking towards the back. Jason followed without a word simply hoping to loose his mom even more by travelling to the back of this store. Neither of them wanted to come with the other on this trip to get his school supplies, but his sister was busy and so his mom was left. Just great.
The assistant showed him to a fitting area where a few other kids were getting measured as well. The enchanted tapes came to life as soon as he stepped onto the platform. Jason held out his arms and let them get all of the proper sizes as a robe floated down next to him.
"Alright, try this on and we'll fit it to your size," the assistant said and walked off while Jason stared at the black robe a bit lost. "Oh great..." he muttered taking the materal and putting it on. "I wander into a clothes shop without much money on me to pay for this.... I guess I'll end up having to wait for mother now anyways..." He finished dressing himself and some scissors and thread came next.
Within a few mintues, Jason had a proper fitting robe on him. He looked at himself in the mirror and tilted his head to the side. It looked nice on him from his point of view. Much older than he was. He smirked at himself. Perfect.
Madam Malkin herself showed up this time. "Ahh... another first year. Alright, let's get you some extra robes now..." She turned before Jason could give her a glare from the mirror. He hated how she just figured out who he was in one glance. Oh well, it can't be helped now. Madam Malkin came back with some robes in her arms. "Alright, this will have you set for the year. All in your size already. Hopefully you won't grow too much." She chuckled at the thought.
Jason took the robes and then went to the counter. As he pulled out what was left in his pocket to pay, his mother came through the door. "There you are! Oh perfect, you got your robes. That saved me some time." She pulled out her own purse and paid for them. "Hm," was all he could say as they walked out the door with the robes all wrapped up safe from the elements until later.══════════════════════════════ ╒═══════════════════  I can't decided whether you should live or die.

Currently wearing: Jeans and shirt " K e e p y o u r h e a d u p
a n d y o u r e y e s f o r w a r d . . . spaceAfter getting her food for Kinnal, Anna headed over to Madam Malkin's for some new robes. Last year one of her robes had caught on fire in Potions class thanks to another student's careless mistake. The memory of it, however, does make her giggle.
spacePassing a mother and son duo leaving the store, Anna managed to make her way to the fitting areas after being led by an assistant. She stood in front of the mirror watching as the tapes came and measured her height. She frowned a bit seeing that she hadn't really grown at all from the last time she was here. 'Looks like I'll be stuck at this height for the rest of my life..' she thought glumly as the assisant came back with a new robe in her hands.
space"Thank you," she told girl with the clothing in her arms. She stepped down from the stand and started back to the front of the store. Being forced to stop because of aruging parents, Anna looked at the other students getting fitted. She recognized some of the faces, seeing them get new robes because of their increased height. She smiled, happy for them.
spaceFinally able to squeeze through the argument, Anna made it to the desk. She showed the one set she had and the cashier rang it up. "Alright, that's nineteen Galleons please." Anna rummaged through her purse and came up with exact change. She paid and walked out. . . . I t ' s t h e o n l y w a y t o s e e
