Walking on his own now (He'd left his father alone at the bank, converting pounds did not sound fun) and set off alone in search of some delicious wizarding culinary delight. EWAN LOVED TO EAT!!
You'd never think this from his athletic build but food was his favourite and boy.... he could smell it now.
Ewan was walking quickly now, trying to find the delicious treats, when... BANG! he tripped, flat on his face. Looking around, he noticed books, on the floor. 'Sigh' how did he miss those, and how did he miss the girl standing next to them. "Are these yours?"Ewan chuckled, trying not to let his ego be too inflated. "I'm Ewan"he continued, reaching up to shake the girls hand from the floor.

Vivian had
finally made a decision that perhaps chocolate sounded rather appealing today, and was just about to head that way when she heard what seemed like heavy things fall onto the ground nearby. Her attention caught, the blond turned towards the direction from where it came from and saw a younger girl with her books on the floor. And to top that off, another younger guy seemingly tripped over them.
... Huh.
The prefect picked up a few of the books closest to her and went towards the younger kids instead. Remember when she was that young and clumsy? Well, she was still clumsy today but... y'know. It was different. "
You both okay?" She said, holding the books with one arm and extending the other towards either of the two. "
Get up." The floor wasn't a comfortable place to lay in, just saying. Imagine the germs and dirt.

"Are you two young ones okay?" Helena kindly addressed the kids with a smile. Quote:

Running his hands across the shaved sides of his hair, he replied "Hi, i'm Ewan. I didn't even see the books" he confessed, blushing slightly as he bent down to pick up the rest. "Honestly, I'm starving!"looking down at his stomach as it gave a loud grumble.
Looking around, Ewan noticed an older woman looking worried. "Hey, sorry! I'm okay thank you" he called over. "Sorry, I bet we're scaring away all of your customers" Ewan continued, with a slight from on his young, pale face.
Ewan turned back to the older girl who helped him up, looking into her face, trying to judge how friendly she was. "Do you know anywhere around here that makes great food? I'm starving! or at least somewhere that sells chocolate! Wizarding chocolate must be better than muggle chocolate".
Before she could even realized her books fell flat on the ground, Oli saw a little boy sitting next to them, asking her if the books were hers. Without meaning to, Oli's knees involuntarily reached the ground and picked up all her things.
Oli was busy managing the books, without even glancing to the little boy who introduced himself as Ewan, she replied,
"Yes, my name's Oli."
While mentioning her name, another older girl was picking up her books. Are the people in Diagon Alley all this accommodating? Will Hogwarts be this kind to her? Will it be kind enough to put her to Gryffindor like her parents?
To acknowledge the older girl's concern,
"I'm okay. Thank you for your help. I was being clumsy," Oli said glancing at both Ewan and the other girl. Oli then smiled at the stall's owner who's also extending a helping hand.
When she heard the boy named Ewan starting a small talk with the older blonde girl, Oli inspected all her books,
"History of Magic..." she murmured.
It was missing.

"Listen well, one and all, peer into my crystal ball. Have a question, ask it here, who else can tell when the end is near? Misery, torture, fortune fame, your wildest dreams, give me a name." She crooned loudly, pushing her own stall through the crowd of fair patrons.
The smell of food swirling around her nose did not entice her nearly as much as the smell of the young ones running about but today was strictly business and she knew better than to draw too much unwanted attention.
"Who wants to be first? Ask about my prices, they're more reasonable than any you've heard." Probably not, but it didn't stop her from saying it.
Looking around, head bowed down in bated breath.
...........
THERE.
She saw it.
Without intending to, she bumped into someone who was mouthing things she doesn't even understand. Solitude was her specialty. Too many people.
"I'm sorry," looking up to the lady, she was frightened and instantly avoided to stare too much.
Oli on the spot picked up her A History of Magic.
