The Leaky Cauldron

[Silvery Bletchley]

Have you? So how do you like London so far?

*sips her wine delicately, glancing around every now and then*

[Shae LeFay]

*drinks some of her mead, and outs the goblet down on the table again*

It's magnificent!
Very different from both Bulgaria and Transylvania.. the shops at Diagon Alley really impressed me. I still think it's rather odd.. I've yet to find any 'dark object' shops. With The Dark Lord and his followers at large, you'd think there'd be atleast one, wouldn't you?

[Silvery Bletchley]

*laughs*

There is, but it's in Knockturn Alley. Did you not go there?

It's alright. You'll have plenty of time to see it all. I think I may take you by the shop before heading to the mansion if it's okay with you.

[Shae LeFay]

I saw a sign for Knockturn Alley, and started walking down the street, but some man stopped me, and said it was dangerous. *rolls eyes*
Naturally, I would've gone anyway, but then your shop caught my eye, and I looked through the window. Closed, it was.. When do you plan on opening it? Do you plan on renaming it as well?

I'm looking forward to seeing the shop inside, so I'd be happy to go there first.

[Silvery Bletchley]

I'm not sure whether to rename it or not. Haven't really given it that much thought. But yes, I do plan on reopening it soon. I don't want to lose too many customers, you know?

So they told you Knockturn Alley is dangerous?

*laughs*

Some Gryffindork I bet.

*finishes her wine*

[Shae LeFay]

So I take it it's not dangerous? Maybe I'll venture down there when I go shopping next.

*shrugs and drinks down mead in a few sips*

So I was wondering if you had spoken with the hosts about me staying at the mansion? IF that's the case, I should remember my bags..

[Silvery Bletchley]

Well I have. And considering who they are and how dangerous the times are, they are not too trusting. So Draco wants to meet you first and we'll see from there.

Do you have a room here? It's really a dreadful place.
There's a very nice flat over the shop. You can stay there for the time being if you like.

*stands up and drops a few coins on the table*

Come on! Let's go there now. I'll show you.

*they head towards the back of the pub and out into Diagon Alley*

[Bojan Vladislav]

**Storms in with heavy grey dragon-hide trunks following behind him and ignoring all the drinkers who have fallen silent to watch him arrive**
**clears his throat and attempts a smile at the man behind the bar and then speaks in a thick Croatian accent**

"Greetings. I vill take your bestis room."

**nods as the man takes him to a room upstairs**

[Bojan Vladislav]

**after sitting in the pub for a few hours, he makes his way out to Magical Menagerie where he is to be working over the next few days**

[Ophelia Fuilteach]

*Apparates with a quiet pop*

*Smells the air and smiles*

*Pulls her cloak close about her and slips out into Diagon Alley*

[Harry Potter]

*steps out of the fireplace, hands busy dusting off his baggy ill-fitting clothes and shakes out his hair*

[Ron Weasley]

*slides out of the fireplace most unelegantly, gets up and dusts himself off, looking embarrassed*

Hate it when that happens!

[Harry Potter]

*turns around laughing*

Come on, lets grab a seat away from the bloody windows. Last thing I need is more people gawking at me.

*selects a table in the middle of the room and sits*

*orders a mulled mead and leans back in his chair, eyes darting around the room*

[Ron Weasley]

*pulls out a chair across from Harry and orders a butterbeer*

Don't know how you can drink that mead stuff, Harry. It's disgusting.

[Harry Potter]

*takes a drink of the mulled mead from the chilled glass and leans over to Ron*

Did you sense something at Grim.. I mean, at the house? I felt something watching us.
