At the moment she was just trying to get her bearings. She had never been in Diagon Alley before. She'd only moved to London two weeks ago. There were people bustling up and down the street, some adults but mostly children, those that would become her new classmates. And while she was still sulking over the fact that she had been forced to leave behind her old classmates, she wasn't totally against meeting new ones.

She passed another shop. A sign above the door proclaimed it as Madam Primpernelle's Beautifying Potions. Beauty supplies weren't on her list, but she did have a little spending money. She didn't think there was anything she needed really, but there was no harm in looking. She glanced in the window and - WAS THAT BRONWEN GRIMALDI?? One of the Grimaldi kids?? With the superstar mothers of Grimoire, one of her favorite bands ever?? She had known that the kids were starting Hogwarts this year; she'd read about it in the papers. It was one of the only things that had quelled her endless complaints about having to transfer. Because now she was going to be at school with the Grimaldi kids. As soon as she'd heard the news she'd begun implementing a plan to become best friends with at least one of them. And Bronwen Grimaldi was standing right there in the shop in front of her.

Okay, Liss, be cool. She coached herself. Acting all starstruck was not going to be a good way to show that she was prime bestie material. Bronwen may have had famous parents but she was just a girl the same age as her; Alissa didn't think she would appreciate someone acting like she was only cool because of her family's fame. She was going to be totally chill about this and not freak out at all.

Alissa pushed through the door of Madam Primpernelle's very casually, as if she was just there to browse the perfumes. She didn't have to keep up the ruse, though, because Bronwen was still standing directly in the doorway. Alissa glanced at her. "Hello. Are you going in?"

"Hm?" It took Bee a moment to register that the voice coming from behind was addressing her. "Oh, yeah, thanks." What was she thankful for exactly? The reminder? Maybe that. Not wanting to embarrass herself, the brunette took another step into the store, moving so that she wasn't blocking the way anymore. "What kind of store is this" She found herself looking back to the other girl, her eyebrows furrowed in an inquisitive sort of way as she took off her sunnies and let them hang from the neckline of her flowing sundress.

The sunnies were meant to be part of a disguise, but Bronwen didn't really understand the point. It was fun when everyone else was involved, but on her own, she felt stupid wearing them indoors. Her scarf could stay though, she liked that it added to her look.
