This narrow, cobbled alley has a slight crooked tilt to it, making it all the more charming. It includes
multiple quaint shops that cover all the needs of a student preparing to attend Hogwarts. A small,
dark arch halfway down the street leads to the darker street of Knockturn Alley.

The sun, although high in the sky, was hidden by tall buildings of brick and wood. The shade and slight breeze simulated a wintery chill, reminding all that the end of summer was near. Professor McIntyre pulled her cloak closer to her body as she rounded the corner into Diagon Alley. Yes, Bonnie had some shopping to do, but that wasn't the purpose of her trip. The Professor was here for social reasons. This would be Bonnie's first year as a professor at Hogwarts. She looked forward to meeting her students and fellow professors, and found Diagon Alley would offer the perfect opportunity.
It was midday, but still quiet in the alley. Bonnie glanced at her shopping list, contemplating where she should visit first. She needed stationary items and robe repairs mainly. However, she planned to take a look at books and miscellaneous items (such as treats for her owl, Taranis). As she walked by the Leaky Cauldron, she was reminded of many past memories. Bonnie knew that she'd have to come back to the tavern in the evening. Perhaps she would meet some people there.

  █ WHERE ★ Wandering Down the Alley
█ CLOTHES ★ A lose tee shirt and jeans.
█ ON HAND ★ Book Bag - School List
█ TUNE ★ Follow Me Down [POTC Cast]
Vera watched her sisters run along head of her. Hand in Hand, she couldn't help but give a smirk. As they past males they made a bit of a up roar, three pretty blondes all holding hands - giggling? Vera watched a boy walk into a sign, without a doubt very distracted by the leggy fair haired girls. Just this summer they had discovered muggle short shorts. Let’s just say they were having a fun time showing them off, before summer ended. They gladly, bore with the sunny, yet chilly day just to do so.
For a moment Vera thought of changing her hair and form to match her sisters and joining them. But that soon passed if a boy didn't like her for what she really looked like, well she didn't want them looking at her.
Their Aunt had let them for once go by themselves to the market. So her sisters were letting a little lose. She really couldn't blame them. Unlike herself, they we're cooped up with Auntie Yelena almost all summer long. Which was a pain in a half, she'd not wish on a dog let alone three human beings as outgoing and fun loving has her older siblings. Even after showing she was not a Squib, Aunt Yelena had not taken a shine to her youngest niece. She still let Vera fend for herself for the summer. That was just fine with Vera since she had never taken a liking to her Aunt on her end.
Vera would rather spend time doing has she wished with her summer which mostly focused around, visiting her father shop. That reminded Vera she should round up her sisters and bring them by his shop. He'd of course be in the back room work on whatever potion, he'd been thinking up. But first then was first, get their shopping done.
Noticing that her sister were way ahead of her now she slung her bag back and rushed after them. “HEY you guys wait for me!" Shouted out at them, doing her best to cut through the crowed of persons between them. That’s when she bumped into a red haired woman. " OH my gosh, I am soo sorry! "

 Silver walked from the train station and into the magical alley, rolling her trunk behind her. Her pet cat sat on her shoulder, meowing every so often as she passes by another cat. She looks over her shoulder at some other students. She was happy to be here, mostly so that she could see her friends. She was also happy to go back to school, to learn more. The war had taken it tole 5o years ago, but now the school was thriving once more. She was glad for it, because without hogwarts she had no idea where she would be. She stops to look in a store window, staring at the latest broomstick, debating on going to the bank to get enough pieces to buy it. Isabelle stopped herself short, appearing quietly into the crowds of the students and teachers alike, appreating without a care. No wizards took notice, so she continued along her merry way, looking up ahead every so often to spot her pet Hippogriff flying. She whistles, and people inch away as he lands, nuzzling against her leg. She grabs his collar, and attached a leash to it. She pets his head, and then continues. Her list didn't consist of much, but she needed to visit a few shops and pick up some books. She also needed new dress robes. She yawns and rolls her eyes at the stares she was getting. She was used to them by now. She shoves her free hand into the pocket of her muggle jeans and stares out, looking for some of the students.

Valenski entered diagon alley with a pocket full of galleons ready to buy his supplies for the school year. Up his sleeve was his wand and his pet snake both of which he brought nearly everywhere. The slytherin was expecting to run into a number of classmates as this was the time of year that most Hogwarts students were doing their shopping for the upcoming school year. He already spotted a few recognizable faces but also many strangers. The alley was bustling with parents, first years, professors, and everyday shoppers.
Valenski was glad to be going back to school soon. Home was alright but it could get very lonely with his father always working and no siblings and he wasn't permitted to have friends over quite often. Valenski couldn't wait until next year when he could learn to apparate. That independence would be something Valenski would relish but he still had to get through this year first.
The fifth year went over to the side of the alley and leaned against the wall. He was in no rush to get back home and had not yet seen anybody he was greatly acquainted with, so he took out his list and wondered how many additional items he might be able to get away with buying. A new broom would be nice and along with new robes. His father would most likely wouldn't care or bother to inquire if he said his old ones were worn out. Valenski looked over his parchment into the crowd looking at the passing witches and wizards.
When my actions.xAre considered madness.xThere is still a method. ↳Out of Control: Hooray first post of the year. Getting the feel for Valenski again. Fear that bad boy xD

Bonnie noticed as a few others joined her in the alley. She smiled as people went by her, trying to appear as friendly as possible. Meeting people wasn't always easy with her stubborn and stern personality, but she would definitely try her best. From experience, Bonnie knew that she hated being a new person. The amount of ridiculous attention and ironic loneliness was never something she liked. Sometimes it was like she waited around for people to meet her, out of shyness or stubbornness (she was never sure). In fact, just as she was stopping to examine a set of books in the nearest window, she felt the wind being knocked out of her.
The Professor turned to see long, dark hair and a young face. Bonnie fought back her sudden urge to reprimand. The girl was apologetic, however, and this soothed the Professor's irritation almost immediately. "It's alright," she returned, straightening her clothes and offering a smile. "I wasn't really paying much attention anyways. What's your name, if I may ask? I'm new around here."

 Arianna walked through the entrance to Diagon Alley after her mother dropped her off outside. She looked around taking in the scene and thought to herself. Diagon Alley looks the same as it did the first time I was brought here the only difference is that I'm another year older and I have new stuff to buy on the list. Ari made her way through the growing crowd towards her favorite shop, there in the window is the newest broomstick. She can't help but stare at it because it looked so amazing. Arianna noticed another red headed girl looking at the broom. Ari smiled at her. She recognized her from school, Silver, she was a few years older than Ari and in Ravenclaw. "I wonder how much it is?" She asked aloud.

❝ Snɑkes ɑren't ɑs bɑd ɑs history mɑkes us seem. ❞
INDENT Winter walked down the small alley towards the entry to Diagon Alley so she could retrieve her school supplies. Her pace was a brisk walk, tugging her jacket to her body. Upon arrival at the brick wall she tapped the proper brick and said 'open says me', watching the bricks fall away. From her house to Diagon Alley wasn't that far, so it was a waste of Floo powder to poof in. She took a quick check of her small mustard yellow purse, checking for her Galleons that she would use and her list of items needed. She had crossed off items she already had, making life easier. Winter wondered to which store she should visit first- Florish and Blotts where she'll probably spend an hour just browsing. Just the thought of the old book shop made her want to visit again, and take in the smell of old parchment that was seemingly permanent. She almost wanted to close her eyes and do that stupid dreamy thing you see in the romance movies when the protagonist is talking about their lover. Almost.
INDENT If the Veela needed a reminder on why she hated going to Diagon Alley later on in the summer and this was it. It seemed everyone and their mother (literally) was in the small alleyway, bustling about to get things and chat with friends. She spotted some of her classmates leaning against the wall a way off and gave him a small smirk. Winter was tempted to go over and chat but being bumped and gawked at made her decide against it. She took her iPod out of her bag, shoving one of her purple earbuds into her ear, and playing one of her favorite songs to help drown out the screams of children. None of her friends were here yet, so she just passed by the groups of young wizards, a small twinge of jealousy going through her. She passed by the robe shop and something caught her eye, having her divert her course to the front window to get a closer look at the robe in the window.
o.o.c- clothing in top bar. finally posting time. edit:: made it a slight bit longer.

  Covered from head to toe in ash and soot stood Jaxion. Carefully he dusted himself off the best he could as he became distracted from the sights, sounds, and smells around him. Diagon Alley in all it's glory was swarmed with people, as usual, scrambling to get their school shopping done. Many adult wizards and witches were leading around their young ones who were clearly distracted by the sights just as much as he was. Happy yells and screams of many students shouting across the alley as they met up with a friend who they haven't seen in a while filled the air along with the buzz of chatter among others. Finally that amazing smell of wizard's brew from behind him at The Leaky Cauldron was making his mouth water like crazy. 'I could get some now...maybe?' Jaxion pondered as he turned around to face the already sealed entrance. 'No, I really shouldn't lets get this shopping done then I can do whatever I want afterwards.' He decided as he turned around and began walking down Diagon Alley debating where he should stop first.
It wasn't till he reached the front of the Quality Quidditch Supplies shop that he lost his focus again. There sat the latest, greatest, and fastest Quidditch broom in it's window, the Firebolt. He's been wanting his own it ever since his father let him ride his right after his match with the Chudley Cannons. That was probably the best moment he had over the break. The speed on that broom was incredible, he swore he could move faster than any snitch out there! Though the only thing he wasn't used to was the handling. It was tricky to catch turns but with a bit of practice Jaxion bet he could use it. Quietly he took a step closer to the window and then noticed he wasn't the only one gawking at it's magnificence. Silver, was a year older than himself and in the same house, and Arianna, two years younger and in Gryffindor, were there as well. As he got closer he heard Arianna ask Silver a question about the cost of the broom. Not trying to interrupt but instead trying to enter their conservation Jaxion said, "Whatever the cost it's definitely worth every Galleon." A smirk appeared across his face as he took his sight away from the broom and looked towards the two girls. "Hello Silver. Hello Arianna. Hope you both had a pleasant break." He said giving each a nod as he said his 'hellos'.

William Savage
Gryffindor / First year
The Lonely Tower
All of the sudden the ground shook slightly and there was sound of a heavy thump. Then a few seconds later there was another. And another. Rather abruptly above and behind the shops of Diagon Alley the upper half of an giant became visible. What on earth was a giant doing in London? The giant seemed to be carrying someone in his left hand. The giant lowered his hand to the ground and let the person down. Then he straightened and seemed to vanish upon touching something on his necklace. The Person the giant had been carrying watched as the giant disappeared and said, "Mobile Port-Keys. Dad really did it this time." This young man stood 7 and half feet tall and despite his size appeared to be very young, 11 years at the oldest. He had shoulder length black hair, and was dressed in dirty blue jeans with frayed ends, heavy boots, and a longsleeve black shirt. He had ghostly white eyes and yet seemed to navigate just fine. This was William Savage.

Vera for a split second thought she was going to get an irate chastising. Without a doubt if had been her aunt she'd also been locked out of the house until one of her sisters sunk her in. In fact if her dear o' Auntie was here now and saw her bumping into someone she would've been over come with shame by her niece action. Once they were out of ear shoot Yelena would have found some unpleasant thing to do as punishment for Vera being so careless. Vera was indeed worried about her actions.
The woman however seemed to be of a more fair minded set. Which made Vera let out a breath she was holding in as she waited for whatever would come, glad the flame haired woman didn't see fit to" rip her a new one". " Oh thank goodness! Sorry again about that." said in a rush.
Without another thought quick to make, over amends with this woman, Vera held out her hand to her and said, “Hello then, I am Vera Meera. And who might you be?" Momentarily distracted from finding her sisters she got a puzzled look on her face as she followed the woman's statement. " Your new here? Really? Where are you from? What do you plan do be doing here?....." Vera then quickly said, thinking that her gush of questions might be a little rude to ask someone she was was just meeting, and more importantly an adult. Sure they we're allowed to ask any questions they really wanted of the young... or at least that was the way she was brought up, so far, as in don't ask questions of your better gal." Oh I am sorry.... don't mean to pry. " She then let her eyes got downcast studying her shoelaces and the cobble stones.

Arianna was still staring at the new model broom and dreaming about how fantastic it would be to ride. It would probably beat my old hand-me-down broom any day and I would be the best player on Gryffindor. A voice interrupted her day dreams.
Arianna grinned at Jaxion, the handsome dark haired boy that interrupted her drooling over the Firebolt. She finally managed to turn her attention from the new broom.
"Hey, Jaxion! You would know wouldn't you?"
Ari knew his father was in the Chudley Cannons and he was a great player too. She tried keeping up with the Cannons as much as possible. They were her Father's favorite team, their were still posters in the office.
"My break was pretty normal nothing too spectacular. What about you? "

`•.¸¸.•´´¯`••.¸¸.•´´¯`•´
♥ Silver Lockheart, Year Six, Proud Ravenclaw ♥
`•.¸¸.•´´¯`••.¸¸.•´´¯`•´Silver turned to give the younger girl a smile, and pondered the same thing. She looked closer into the window. Yikes, ten thousand galleons! She made a small squeak at the price. She had the galleons, but her father would kill her if she bought a broomstick just for pleasure. He really wanted her to get on the quiddich team this year, for that last year she had failed. She turns to the other Ravenclaw as he approaches, her cheeks lighting slightly. She was always nervous with other guys, even if they were younger than her! She flattens her skirt against her long, tan legs. She had spent most of her summer in the sun."My break was w-wonderful. Very fun. Thank you." She says softly, flattening her band tee, displaying a heavy metal band that nobody probably knew, her bright red eyes shifting around, looking for an escape. She was also horrible with people in general, and she needed to get away before she completely embarrassed herself.======== ☠ =======
Professor Isabelle Finch
Herbology professor
Head of Hufflepuff
======= ☠ =======Isabelle yawns quietly, looking over at the leaky cauldron. She made a mental note to grab a drink after she finished her shopping. She gives the leash a sharp tug, pulling her pet with her as she weaves her way through the crowd, the half lion half eagle snarling at anybody who touched her. She slips past a few students observing a broomstick in the window, the skirt of her dress billowing around her. She kicks up a bit of dirt with her boots as she stepped in front of the shop. She spins on her heel delightfully and claps her hands together."Time to get my shop on!" She wiggles her hips and skips inside [Ooc: I think gaia may be cutting my posts short. :/]

Jaxion chuckled lightly and nodded to Arianna's accusation, he did know as he took one more longingly look at it's magnificence before focusing back on their conservation. His attention shifted between the girls as they told him shortly about their breaks. First to Arianna, who comfortably answered and then asked about his break, then to Silver, who fiddled with her clothes before shyly answering him. She seemed nervous and this made Jaxion feel a little bad. He didn't wish to make anyone feel uncomfortable around him. "Both normal but very fun pretty much sums up mine as well. Thank you for asking." He said with a smile to them. He was hoping that there was something he could bring up to hopefully make Silver feel a little more comfortable and just instantly he noticed her t-shirt that she was fiddling with. "That tee shirt is bloody awesome Silver, what group is that?" He complemented as he wondered what kind of music they preformed. "Have you ever heard of them Arianna?" He added curiously to see if she knew them, he was obviously behind on who the latest bands were.

Arianna noticed Silver's reaction to Jaxion's question. Ari knew that the sixth year tended to keep to herself often. The shy girl stuttered out how her summer was and Ari couldn't help but want to make Silver comfortable so she smiled at her trying to be reassuring. Jaxion asked about the band on the older girl's shirt. Ari laughed, "I'm absolutely terrible with names and faces so I have no idea who they are." She glanced at the shirt again trying to recognize any of the faces none of them looked familiar but then again Ari only listened to a select few bands. She was really picky with her music anyway but Silver's shirt did look amazing. Arianna wondered who it was and if they were any good.
