He put a hand down on the wand and stopped it, "You got to do better than that, Nadea." Anton continued to look.

She glared at him, literally trying to pull it from him with her mind, Come on... She smiled when her wand broke free from his hand, coming back to her, "Now then, you were saying?" She smirked at him, her eyes gleaming with triumph.

Anton smiled at her, "Good job, deary." He then went back to looking at cloaks, "Just be back here in half an hour or Adam...." Not even finishing the threat, since she knew it.

"Careful what you say now Anton... Unless you have this." She motioned to her wand, "You have no control over what I say or do." She glared at him one last time before walking out of the store, What the crap was that? Why would I dare risk Adam's life?

Anton barely glanced at her as she left. He flipped through cloaks.

It had been a long while since Lilly had been into Twilfit and Tattings. The last time had been to get a robe to wear to one of her parents' parties when she'd been pregnant with Emeilia. She smiled to herself as she thought about how much hassle that had caused them all; she remembered how they'd tried to get her to have the most unflattering ones, the ones that looked like her bump was just fat rather than an actual baby. That had annoyed Lilly beyond belief.

She pushed open the door and held it for her daughter to follow in behind her. "Let's go have a look at the school robes then, love" she said as she pointed at a nearby sign.

Emeilia smiled up at her mother "Ok mommy how do I know if I get Gryffindor or Slytherin ties?" She asked softly. She didn't want to disappoint either of her parents. Her father was a Gryffindor, her mother a Slytherin. "Grandpa Dursley says I'm not in the family anymore if I don't make Slytherin." She shivered a little. She walked next to her mother staying close to her.

"You need to ignore him, baby girl. Because all he talks is rubbish..." Lilly said, she hated that her Dad had dared to say that to her little girl. How dare he scare her in that way. She moved and took her daughter's hand in hers as they moved towards the school section of the shop.

"We get you one tie, it's like a general one And then, well, they charm it when you get your house" she said softly. "So you don't need to worry about that yet, sweetie. And don't listen to your Grandpa..." she said before turning and leaning down to her daughter's level. "I will be proud of you, Daddy will be proud of you whichever house that you get into" she smiled reassuringly at her beautiful daughter. "In fact, I'm so proud of you already and you haven't even gone yet, I know you're going to do so well there" she said softly. They hadn't told Em about the pregnancy yet, she was wondering when to do so. When the right time would be for that, she wanted to do it before Em went off to school and all.

Emeilia listened to her mum and nodded. She felt her eyes tearing up a little. "But why would grandpa say that?" Her lip trembled and she ran into her mum's arms and buried her head on her mum's shoulder until she could stop crying. The little girl was smart but she just did not get stupid stuff like racism and blood prejudice. "Why is he so mean since you and Daddy got married?" She asked. He'd always been nice to her before, called her grandpa's little punkin, but now she wasn't his punkin anymore. She reached into her little purse and got out a handkerchief and dried her eyes. Then she picked out some robes and skirts and shirts and a couple ties as well as kneesocks and Shoes. She went into the dressing room and came back out looking like a proper first year. "How do I look Mommy?"

Lilly held her daughter close, she kissed the top of her head and sighed. "Because he... he's just not like us, sweetheart. He has issues with people who aren't like us. He doesn't get along all too well with Daddy" she said slowly, not sure how to approach that topic. It was a big thing, and one day they would explain everything to Em, she deserved to know about all of the circumstances that surrounded her birth.

Her heart melted as she watched her little girl emerge in her uniform, she squealed proudly and stood up. "You look so beautiful! Like a proper Hogwarts pupil" she said before rushing over and embracing her little girl again. "I am so proud of you!" she said slowly before pressing a kiss to her forehead.

Emeilia sighed softly. "I feel like a real grown up mommy. I don't look like me." she whispered.

Lilly laughed gently and kissed the top of her daughter's head affectionately. "You do look like you! But yes, you are growing up and going away to Hogwarts is another step towards that" she said softly, so proud of her little girl. "You are going to do so well, I know it for sure" she smiled, nodding enthusiastically to support her daughter. She was nervous about her going away, any parent would be, and she would miss her a lot. But it would only do Em the world of good.

"Can we get some Ice cream now mommy, I don't like this street it scares me."

"Of course we can, sweetheart. If everything fits, go get changed and we can go pay for all of this, get it wrapped up and then head to go get some ice cream" Lilly said as she smiled at her daughter, it really was weird, shopping for all this school stuff with her own daughter.
She remembered doing it for herself when she had been Em's age and had been shopping with her own Mum, it didn't seem all that long ago which was crazy.

Emeilia quickly changed into her shorts and blouse and sandals and ran out to her mum who was waiting for her. She handed her mum the folded clothes.

Josey had let her daughter wonder off in the main street, in Diagon, before venturing forth into Twilfits in Knockturn Alley. She didn't much fancy taking her children here, plus Elliot would throw a fit if she had to try on any robes. However, there was nothing to be done with the baby, Darius, whom she had slung on her back in a baby backpack. Her house elf followed closely behind her...the elf didn't much like the street either.

The woman sighed. So many CLOTHES. She couldn't help but glanced around at all of the...exquisiteness. Having been married for a great many years now to Darius, she still wasn't used to all of the money it allowed her to spend. But she liked it. A lot.

The baby was asleep, so she decided she might as well try on a few things...the get the girls' school robes. ONe set of Hogwarts...one set of Beauxbatons. Merlin, why Dani ever chose the French school, she wouldn't know. But Dani had always been different than Elliot.

She flitted through a few of the robes, picking out at least a dozen, each of them a different color...mostly silks and velvets. Yes, Josey quite liked the high life, she couldn't lie to herself. She handed the robes to the elf, who bowed his head a little and she smiled at him. She liked having him around...

She did glance around, though, every few seconds. She didn't like this part of town...and hopefully being Darius Morganzo's wife would provide protection if any trouble came brewing. Darius had said that he often did business here. Hmph. She shrugged it off, but still always felt uneasy coming here. Specially with her baby...

Carlton Picard, a young reporter of the Daily Prophet, stepped into the shop. She had heard that a witch owned this shop. Maybe she would see this witch for herwelf.

After finding her daughter in Leaky Cauldron and giving her a stern lecture Bailey took her daughter, Melody to Twilfit and Tattings in Knockturn Alley. She would be damn if Melody didn't Melody didn't get the best robes and clothing she could possibly buy her. And even though Bailey was very well known customer she still kept Melody close to her while looking at school robes with Melody. She knew what kind of weirdos hung around Knockturn Alley.

Chloe happened to stumble upon this place when she was younger when she made one wrong turn on her way to the book shop in diagon alley. It was a very wonderful mistake though. She stumbled upon a robe shop that blew Madam Malkins out of the water. The robes here were the most beautiful she had ever seen but they were expensive. She only got one that day but with her brand new job at Gringotts Chloe was ready to shop. She looked around and found a brilliant royal purplr robe and a lovely light blue on, and then she spotted a regal dark green one, she grabbed all of them and knew that was it. She could not afford more then three at the moment. She tried them on and they all fit. She could not wait to wear these new robes to work. She walked up to front counter and waited in line to pay. Soon it was her turn and Chloe paid for the aweesome robes and then happily went on her way with them.

Kyroh stood completely still as Gloria began to dust him off and even let out a small giggle. He wasn't even that dirty! She didn't even need to do that! But he stood and waited until she was done. "I will." He said taking her extended hand, as they started to walk. Because getting lost in a dark place was the last thing he wanted.

Noticing that all the people who walked by seemed to be wearing dark robes, Kyroh locked eyes with a man who seemed to have one eye smaller than the other! Right-Gloria. "I haven't been down here before. Why can't we go to the robe shop in the bright part of Diagon Alley?" Was the man still looking at him? It sort of felt like it. Kyroh could feel the hairs on his arm stand up. It was a good thing that they entered the robe shop before he could look back at him.

Even in side the shop was a little dark!

Gloria gave Kyroh's little hand a squeeze as they walked down the street, keeping her own head down and her eyes far away from making contact with any creepers. She should have told Kyroh to keep his head down too. It would be her luck to run into someone like that wand dealer from Moribund's... yuck.

"Don't you like exploring new places, Kyroh?" Gloria kept her tone light, though she was grinding her teeth on the inside. "Besides, this place has different fashions than that store." That teenager breeding ground known as Madame Malkin's. Pfft. As IF Gloria would shop there.

"I just need a cloak. I'll be one minute." She smiled at the boy and nodded toward a tall, dark cherry chair he could sit in by the window, before disappearing into the back of the store.

"Not places that are dark or that have scary looking people." The boy answered before his eyes begun to spin around at all the different fashions this store had? Was different fashions good?

Kyroh was about to follow him mum where ever she was heading but she let go of his hand quickly. Glo didn't like to hold hands too long. Not really getting what the nod meant at all, Kyroh just nodded back. Okay.

Once Gloria had vanished from his view Kyroh walked over to a set of long green robes and stared at it for a few seconds. Huh. Reaching out he touched the robe which just seemed to glide through his hands. And get rid of the dust too!

"You must be different fashions." Kyroh whispered. But he wasn't actually talking to the robe. Robes couldn't talk back. He did wish he had his dragons to talk to, Flamel would have liked the green robes.

But Kyroh didn't really liked the colour of the robe, so he continued to stare at it, and touch it.

Oh Kyroh. Was he still afraid of the dark? It was Dash's job to work on that with him, but now it looked like the responsibility would be falling to her as well. As usual, she had to do everything for it to get done at all.

She didn't say this, though, any of it, and instead moved on to the back where she could browse in peace. She found the cloak and color she desired quickly enough and returned to the front of the store, where the register was. Kyroh was still there too, though he was... talking to touching things. She'd ignore it for now.

"Just this," the brunette placed the cloak on the counter to check out.

Veronica entered the stor, not even bothering to remove the cloak she'd placed over her head and slightly over her face. She moved throughout the area, looking not for an item but for a person. She'd been looking for an ingredient to a potion she'd been brewing and was meant to meet someone to pick it up. They should be here. Hmm.

Her brown eyes flashed from one side of the store to the other, where she saw a woman with her young...son? She smirked at the site. Atropos would have a field day if he knew a child was in their midsts. However, it was the woman Veronica was most interested in. She fit the description of the woman she was meant to meet.

Noting this, she moved quickly and came to a stop next to a rack of items. She browsed them while she assessed the situation. It was never good to assume too much too soon. Her gaze turned to the little boy and she grinned at him.

The robe didn't feel as good when he touched it the fifteenth time, so it must not have been that different. It was possibly a sad thing to see. A not different robe in a store full of different clothes. Kyroh frowned, almost sad for the piece of cloth. Maybe it would fit in better with in the other store?

Or maybe if the colour could change?

Turning his head as a cool breeze swept through the store, Kyroh's attention quickly left the robe. It was just a lady, but she didn't look too scary so Kyroh didn't move or try to find his mother or anything.

As the lady smiled at him Kyroh smiled back. "Hullo!!! Good morning!" The eight year old grinned. "Have you come here to get some expensive clothes? I don't know how much this robe is but it feels cool. The colour isn't that good though." So she should get another colour.
