'Thank you very much' she said quietly, and was about to leave when a thought came to her.

'Do you have any Russian history books?' she asked, remembering that her stepfather had asked for some, and she hadn't found him any yet 'And maybe... would it be possible for me to look in the special books area? My stepfather's birthday is soon, and he collects first editions and antique books. I thought it mught make a good present...' plus the fact she wanted a look for herself.

"Very welcome," Daniel replied, with a little smile, and turned his head slightly to cock his ear and hear the next request. "Hmmm, well, we do, yes. All around the shop. I suppose that if it's imperative that you must check out the special area then I'll take you through in a moment."

"Thank you," Daniel smiled, taking the money and dropping it into the till, nudging the bag to the girl. "Receipt's in the bag. Come back soon," he smiled.

'Really cool muggle vintage shop'. Yeah, that made it happen. "A muggle shop? Where?" well, it wasn't on Diagon Alley, was it? Because otherwise Treyen would've heard of such a wonderful place where muggle stuff dwells.

Muggles. So inventive.

Oh my Gilderoy! The book! Treyen appeared surprised that he'd forgotten what he came to in the first place, "Right, the book. I don't know the author, all I know is that it's called 'Magical Trees and their Properties' and it's supposed to be old" 'supposed', but he had no idea. Hopefully, the author wasn't needed.

"It's this place in Covent Garden," Daniel shrugged, unable to remember the exact name of the place. "Muggle London place, that is," Daniel went on. He was a HUGE fan of Muggle London... there was so much do do and some amazing shops.

And pubs.

And clubs.

"Well, I would think it would be in the education section but if it's super old, we might have it in our special area or the back room. So... we can try the back room first?" he suggested, pointing his thumb over his shoulder to the door behind him.

Ina lifted a hand and parted her hair, just enough so that she could see properly. He didn't look like he was about to kick her out the shop or something, so she tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled weakly.

"I'd, uhm... like to enquire about a... a book..." Oh, great, now you sound really intelligent -- why else would you be in a book store? "I mean--" Ina added, quickly; "it's just that... I can't find it anywhere... It's quite old, rare, I think. I, uh... heard this shop had a section for those type of books, though I thought I should ask, as... well... wandering around without permission didn't seem quite right... It's not in print anymore, or dangerous or anything, I know that much..."

Ina paused, but then remembered she'd forgotten to give the title. "Oh! I think it's called 'Silver's Extensive Study on the Comparative Features of Magical Beasts'... o-or something... And I'm Ina, by the way!" She added excitedly, before realising she said that very loud and shuffling nervously.

"It's very good that you asked," Daniel reassured this girl, Ina apparently. "I can take you through to the Special Area in a moment, is that okay?"

He'd take her through with the other girl and anyone else who needed to look. It was easier that way. "If so, just give me a moment to sort things out and I'll let you through," Daniel added with a friendly smile.

"Yes, young man? How may I help you?" Daniel asked the next customer, giving him a small smile.

"Interesting...." he said in reards to the man's answers. "I was just wondering if you want any help. I have a back round in literature. I currently work in the Minstry with patents. I am currently on a mission to find a rare book...and I was hoping to look around for a awhile. I would need access to the back rooms and the best way for me to find my book, yet provide some recipricol to you is to work here. I would work for free of course.....the chance to find a book is payment enough.....So.....uh, what do you say?" he asked, presenting himself with elegenace and power, but also being very respectful.

"Very well," Daniel replied, levitating the book into the air and muttering a spell under his breath, as well as some revealing spells for anything untrustworthy or whatever. Once the book was back on the counter, Daniel reached under the counter, extracted a top of the range sneakoscope and stood it on the book. "This book is a first edition," he stated to the implement, and hoping this guy would be satisfied once the sneakoscope didn't spin.

With a smile at the man, Daniel asked him, "Do you want to buy this?"

But he kind of made an uncomfortable face at the next request. "'Fraid not... I don't really need or, to be honest, want any assistance. And I can't really allow you loads of access to the back rooms. I have to accompany people through there, as well as keeping an eye on the place out here. You're welcome to look in there for a little while... or you could tell me the name of the book and I'll owl you if I find it?"

Daniel would have helped the girl who fell, but she was up and over to him quicker than he could get around the counter. And she was apologising... but they were gonna be her books soon, so it was fine with Daniel.

Smiling to put the girl a little more at ease if he could, Daniel bagged up the books and opened the till. "It's all fine. That'll be 2 galleons, please," he told her.
