SPOILER!!: Józef, Céline and Alexander

She didn't have any money on her, but if she saw something really really really nice she'd beg her mam for a bit of change. A solid tactic. For now just having a look would have to do. Céline glanced around hoping to maybe, just maybe, run into one of her pals, but nope. Just Max. "Hiya!"
Or... She squinted at Max. Or the other one. That looked like the Max but wasn't the Hufflepuff boy. It was the other one. The not so shy one. WELL.

Józef Kowalski needed there to be a mirror in here. Because right then he was holding up little packages with magic moustaches in them and trying to see which one would suit him best. The only problem was that although he was holding the pictures up against his face, he couldn't see what they looked like because there was no mirror in here.

It was as he was scanning the room wildly for a reflective surface that the first voice reached him. Swinging around, handlebar-moustache box held against his upper lip, Jó eyed the boy who'd greeted him - he recognised him, presumably from school, but didn't know him. That didn't stop him from barking his question, though. "Got a mirror?!" It was urgent.

The arrival of another voice was a pleasant surprise to Józef when he realised it was a girl. Had he known that said girl thought he was Max, he would definitely have reacted differently, but Jó was happy assuming she was saying hi because she mad fancied him. He grinned back, though it wasn't completely visible, and then quickly swapped boxes to display a 'middle-age beard'. "Which one looks better?"

He assumed that meant her and the boy knew each other. Did that mean he felt left out? No, in fact it did not. What it did mean was that there were more people for him to talk to, which was exciting. "Hello." He gave her the same cheerful smile.

His attention was turned back to the boy. Józef. His name was Józef, he remembered that. And he was trying on fake mustaches. The question about which one looked better may have been more directed to the girl than to him, but Alexander had never been shy about stepping in to conversations. So he felt it was fine to offer his own opinion on the matter. "I like the mustache." It was better than the beard, in his opinion, though it did sort of depend on the look he was going for.

She was bored today. The shop had been quieter today than usual, but she expected it was nothing to worry about. Busy elsewhere. Most of the kids had already stocked up on everything they needed and she had a bunch of orders ready to send to Hogwarts when school began. In fact, she had orders ready to send to other schools as the tourism of the alley this summer had given her a whole new customer base. Something which Galilea was more than happy with.

She was lurking in the aisles, between two shelving units very close together - a favourite of her spy spots in the store. Galilea found her footing on a small shelf she had installed and dropped a headless hat onto the girl in the group and an anti-gravity hat onto one of the boys before dropping back into her hiding place.

Since they were on the topic and because the woman was being incredibly helpful, which was absolutely appreciated.

"You might be a genius, do you know that?" Ella offered a relieved smile and stood up straighter, suddenly more excited than worried about getting gifts for her mini-me. "I love the idea of the balloon and actually, a pygmy puff would be perfect. It'd teach her responsibility. She's grown up with pets, but none that she was solely responsible for. I think that could be great." And she liked the idea of Cecelia taking on that role. If she wanted to feel grownup, that was a great way to start. "Have you got the charmed dragons that behave like the real thing? I think she'd love that. I work with dragons myself."

Any? Hm.. Galilea smiled. "All. My ex in-laws have an in." And so did her own family, so between the two.. she had it more than covered.

She moved from behind the counter, leading the way into the busy and unorganised aisles of her shop. "We do. I actually have a wider selection of dragons out back if you have any specific ones you'd like? We haven't debuted them yet. But I'm happy to let you have first dibs." It was, of course, for a very important birthday. And Galilea loved birthdays.

She collected a unicorn balloon, using magic to send it over to the counter to wait for them before heading for their pygmy puff corner. "Any specific colour choice?"
