Was that it? Was that was Adam represented to her? Comfort and a sense of belonging? She wasn't sure she had hit the nail on head just yet, but she was getting close.
"Oh, okay," she nodded easing her grip around the book a bit. "It was lovely talking to you, Connor. I do hope we can meet again soon." "I will see you soon." He leaned over and kissed her hand. "Until we meet again." He gatheed his books and left.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Alice Matthews First Year |
Alice entered the third hand book emporium and just took in the scent of all the books. One of her favourite smells was old books and she loved it. Her parents followed behind and smiled as they watched there daughter lift the skirts of her victorian dress she was wearing and step over all the books strewn about and up in the tippy piles. She searched about and finally found all of the books she needed for school.
Once she had all of her books she had some dust streaked on her face and on her dress and her mother called her over and pulled out a handkerchief the same material as Alice's dress and wiped Alice's face off and dusted off her dress. After which Alice's mother placed the handkerchief back into the breast of her dress which also matched the material of Alice's dress. The family had an elegant look, all wearing their best for shopping. All in Victorian clothing Alice's mother had made herself. She was an excellent seemstress. Alice then approached the counter, but all of her books fel too the floor because she had them perched precariously on her arms. Her father came up behind her and picked them up himself in his big arms and approached the counter.

Taking down the sign that hung in the window of his new purchase, a fresh faced man smiled to himself, rather pleased with what he had bought. Despite the fact it wasn't as flashy as Flourish and Blotts, nor was it as exciting as some of the other shops for the younger generation, Jude, named after the famous Beatles song by his mother (His brother had not escaped the fate either) loved the idea of owning his own bookshop that was accessible and affordable for everyone.
Being an author left Jude with a lot of love for books and although some books appeared tatty and overused, there were a few genuine antique treasures hidden amongst the aisles. Opening up the shutters and allowing light to flood in, he switched the sign on the door. OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

Sarah entered the shop, looking about curiously. The shop was quiet, and hardly anyone was there. 'Lovely,' she thought 'that means I can take my time.'
She headed for the nearest book shelf and began searching for the books on her supply list: Hogwarts: A History by Chroniculus Punnet, A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander...

Hogwarts RPG Name: Glenn Reyes Fourth Year |
As Glenn opened the door she heard a faint bell sound from somewhere inside the shop. It was quiet in here, only the flicking of pages or whispered conversations between customer and assistant were heard.
She walked along the rows of shelves occasionally stopping to look at a title and read the blurb. Rapunzel was right beside The Tales of Beedle The Bard, Glenn had to summon an enormous amount of self-control to put them both back on the shelf.
She had them both at home but there was always something special about having your own copy of books, especially ones that were so loved.
She approached the corner for books for education and fumbled for her list of school supplies and searched through the dusty volumes, stacking them on a coffee table beside her.
Glenn picked them up and staggered under their weight walking somewhat awkwardly over to the counter.

Arianna continued to run her finger over the many worn spines of books. Nothing yet had caught her eye. She paused. Hmm should she try upstairs? What was upstairs? She decided to go exploring and headed towards the stairs. Rounding the corner though she slammed into someone, books suddenly flying everywhere, "I'm so sorry!" she squealed.

Somebody had slammed into Glenn. Her books flew across the room with a loud crash and she fell backwards, hitting her head on a table.
The girl was apologising as Glenn scrambled to pick up her books. Many people had turned to face the commotion and Glenn felt her face grow hot.
"It's okay" She muttered, her head throbbing.

Arianna glanced around seeing many people. She glared at them back, forcing them to look away awkwardly.
She then turned back to the girl, "Are you ok? I saw you hit your head."

All of her books were now in a pile. "Thanks for helping me tidy my books, honestly, I'm sorry for getting in your way."
Glenn gave a shy smile, "I'm Glenn by the way".

Glenn gave a shy smile, "I'm Glenn by the way". Arianna smirked, "I'm Arianna."
She stood and glanced down at the girl's many books. "Wow that's some serious shopping you're doing... What subjects are they for?"

"Oh you know, first-year stuff" Glenn said, "I'd love to buy some more interesting books though. I bet you do heaps of exciting stuff to do in later years at Hogwarts," She sighed, "You aren't a first year, are you?"
She furrowed her brow and stared up at Arianna. She did seem too tall to be a first-year.

She furrowed her brow and stared up at Arianna. She did seem too tall to be a first-year. Arianna couldn't help but laugh, "No, no I'm not... and seeing as you are I'll just let you know that your about to be thrust into the most exciting year of your life." Arianna paused her eyes going wide, "You're bleeding!" She pointed at the side of Glenn's head and bit her lip when she noticed some of the blood had managed to get on the books. "Wow, maybe I'm stronger than I think..."

"Wow, maybe I'm stronger than I think..." Glenn felt the side of her head, it stung and when she took her hand away it had blood on it.
"It's probably nothing," Glenn said, "Oh no! Its gotten on the books, I hope they don't throw me out!"
Glenn tried to wipe the blood off but only succeeded in spreading it.
"I should probably go do something about this..." Glenn said holding a hand to her head as she walked over towards a staff member.

| Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!
Books. *scowl*
Thomas, since the day his primary school teachers began to attempt to teach him to read, had had a real problem with books. The school came to the conclusion that young Thomas Broadmoor was of below average intelligence because he slower than his classmates to pick things up. It wasn't until he was eight years old when he had a young and dynamic male teacher who took Tom under his wing that it was also discovered that he had Dyslexia. The diagnosis gave him a boost at the time. He wasn't stupid. And as he teacher explained, his brain was just wired a little bit differently to other peoples. He had other talents to show the world.
When he left his primary school, he lost what little support he had, and that was when he gave up on his education. He LOOKED stupid to his peers. He struggled to read and write without guidance. The only help he had was those books with HUGE print that were designed for OLD people. It was embarrassing. And the main reason he started playing truant.
The scowl remained on his face as he looked at his supplies list. *squint* “Ogwarts: A 'is—'ist.. *sigh*
He'd just give it to the shopkeeper and hope for the best..

Arianna nodded, "yeah uh good luck with that.... anyways I'll see you around." She gave a little wave as the girl walked off towards an unimpressed staff member. Awkwardly Arianna slithered off trying not to catch anyone's eye.

Arianna had left.
Glenn picked up her books and walked towards the counter.

Kelly walked in and looked around. She went over to the education section and looked at the books. She was nervous, so she looked quickly for the 1st year pack. She spotted it and carried the heavy books to the counter.

The girl was apologising as Glenn scrambled to pick up her books. Many people had turned to face the commotion and Glenn felt her face grow hot.
"It's okay" She muttered, her head throbbing. The crash was loud enough for Jude over at the counter, occupied by a huge number of students to hear. Excusing himself momentarily, the man hurried over to where he thought the noise had come from. Noticing books flung across the floor and a young girl on the floor, he rushed straight over with a concerned frown. He piled the books up and charmed them to appear lighter for her, so she didn't have to struggle again when she recovered. "Are you okay, love?" he asked concernedly not wanting to do approach her to closely in case she wanted space. He would wait for her permission. "Here," he offered out his hand to help her sit down somewhere in order to examine her head or any other injury that she may have sustained. He grabbed hold of his wand as he spoke, ready to fix anything if she wanted him to. Quote:

He'd just give it to the shopkeeper and hope for the best.. His attention was also drawn to a young male, who by the looks of it, appeared to be struggling with something. Reading perhaps? Jude was a kind hearted soul and seeing someone struggle concerned him. He liked to help, even if the males accent was slightly incomprehensible, though as an Irish Man, his accent was equally as confusing to some people as his was. "Do you need any help there?" he asked in a concerned manner, tilting his head slightly to the side as he approached him. He had overheard what the boy was trying to say. It had dawned on him that perhaps, seeing as he didn't look particularly unintelligent to Jude, he had seen many a person that didn't look intelligent but were perhaps more intellectual than the studious people. "That's Hogwarts: A History. You'll need it for your History of Magic lessons" he informed him, picking that book off of the shelf and handing it over to him.
