Alice had a fairly decent memory, but this was the one store that she knew she needed a list. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the small piece of parchment that her mom had written all the school books she would be needing. Alice's mom had gotten her all the every day clothing Alice would need, except the robes which she now had, and her main school supplies.

Alice looked down and the list and smiled at all the books. After all in a book store Alice always felt at home:
Hogwarts: A History by Chroniculus Punnet
A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander
The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection by Quentin Tremble
How Not To Blow Off Your Fingers On The First Day by Julius Gummidge
A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration by Emeric Switch
Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp
Goshawk's Guide to Herbology by Miranda Goshawk
The Standard Book of Spells Grade 1 by Miranda Goshawk
Hilary Stargazer's Guide to the Galaxy by Hilary Stargazer

Finding all of these books was going to take a while. Alice looked up at the wall above her and smiled as she spotted Hogwarts: A History. This was a book she couldn't wait to read. Alice reached up and tipped the book, letting it fall neatly on top of her packaged robes, and continued looking. After a good fifteen minutes of looking around she managed to find everything.

Alice was now standing and staring at the one book that there was no way she was going to be able to get by herself. She a man who looked to be a couple of years older than her she walked up to him and waited politely for him to be free. Once he was she tapped him gently on the shoulder.

"Um, excuse me. I was wondering if you could get a book down for me?" Alice had to peak sideways around the books to really get a good look at him, and was pleased to see that he looked friendly enough. "It's the Quidditch Through The Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp." Alice couldn't free her hands to point where it was, so she motioned with her head, of course she probably didn't really need to do that since he probably already knew exactly where the book was that she needed.
