In the end North end of the Street of Diagon Alley, sandwiched between an Intersecting Alley that leads to Knockturn Alley and Quality Quidditch Supplies, sits a small building made of light gray stones. A peal of small bells made of gold tinkle together in a rather quiet unison as the glass door of the shop opens and reveals the stationary supplies store; brightly lit, -thanks to the front glass window that allows sunlight to filter inside the shop- the smell of the store is a surprisingly pleasant combination of wood, old parchment, ink and, shockingly enough, scented candles.
Every single inch of the store seems to be crammed with shelves full of the artifacts sold at the shop, and though it might look and sound messy, the place is surprisingly organized, and whatever item that costumers might be looking for, can undoubtedly be found easily; rolls of parchment, stationery sets, quills made of the most unthinkable and exotic feathers, and every imaginable sort of decorative paper – you think of it, and this store has it.
Inks are the place’s specialty, and as such, here you'll find ink of every colour and style that you could possibly imagine: Colour-changing inks, scented inks that actually come with flavor, invisible ink, everlasting ink, Charmeable Ink which is useful when you are bored at work or school and feel like making animated doodles, and Self-correcting ink that comes in handy at all times, for it erases and fixes all kinds of grammatical and spelling mistakes you might commit.
Browse the shop at your heart’s desire, and don’t forget to have fun while you are it. Welcome to Scribbulus Everchanging Inks!
Watch out while you browse this particular area of the shop - rolls of parchment and bottles of ink keep zooming quickly above your head, re-arranging themselves on their correct shelves. Speaking of shelves, the Scribbulus shelves are absolutely laden with all the artifacts sold in this shop, such as numerous rolls of fresh, new parchment, endless rows of bottles of ink inside their respective inkwells, as well as neatly racked reams of plain bond, stationery sets, and every imaginable sort of decorative paper. In the front of the store, at full display for the people walking down the street, there's a smaller shelf that features, invitations, cards, and the biggest assortment of feather quills you've ever seen.
Behind the tall and smooth wooden counter, the shopkeeper can normally be found. With a frown on her forehead, the shopkeeper is usually busy sorting through piles of parchment, which would be stock orders, bills, magazines or just plain letters that have been addressed to her. If not, you'll spot her assistant doing whatever it is that she has demanded of him to do. This is the place where you come if you are in need of help, or to pay for the items you wish to acquire.
The stock room of Scribbulus Everchanging Inks is located right behind the counter, hidden behind a tall door. The door of this room is usually locked, and besides the shopkeeper and assistant, only people with her explicit permission can come inside.
Once you are done shopping and leave the shop, you will find yourself back on North end the Street. Come back soon!
Name: Jude Salem Age: 28 DoB: 18th January 2050 PoB: Derbyshire, England Current Residence: London, England Education: Hogwarts Former house: Ravenclaw Blood Status: Pureblood Occupation: Scribbulus Ever Changing Inks Shopkeeper
History:
Jude was born in Derby shire on a farmland, of which his parents owned. He never had many friends as a little kid, apart from his favourite sheep who he named Hocus. He was home schooled until the age of eleven, and then upgraded to attend Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was a shock to the system, to say the least. He was sorted into Ravenclaw house, where he made quite a lot of friends. He'd been a character all his life, always adding a little extra volume to things. It wasn't until his seventh year, when Hocus passed away, that he went a little quiet and totally studies-focused. People laughed at his sheep-grief. But Hocus WAS his best friend since he was 6 years old, so...
Jude graduated Hogwarts with great exam results, and decided to take some time away from the farm he had grown up in. He spent five years travelling the world, using money from his parents and obviously, working his way along the routes. He'd met many people and learned many cultures and languages on his journeys, and when he was twenty-four, Jude decided to return home for a while.
He didn't settle down great, living a year with his parents to work at the farm. His cousin also lived there, too. After his parents were tragically killed in a car collision. Jude enjoyed having William there, but he soon realized that his pair of hands were no longer required at the farm. So he needed to find something else to do.
When he turned twenty-eight, and after endless job hunting, Jude was given a shopkeeper opportunity in Diagon Alley. It was awesome, and was definitely a boost from the downfall of his life that he'd been going through.
Personality:
Jude is a very positive and ambient character, adding extra volume to stuff. As a child, he'd always run along the fields with Hocus, screaming at the top of his lungs just for the sake of it. He also liked rolling down hills at epic speed, but what kid DIDN'T love doing that? Jude is very clever, getting this trait from his father who taught him as a child. He took these brains to Hogwarts, where he excelled in his exams. His favourite subject was Care of Magical Creatures, obviously.
Taking his loud and positive attitude into light, Jude is a very easy person to get along with. He likes to make people smile, but without making them uncomfortable. Because his welcoming exterior can often do that to people... He has been through all of his adulthood, after one failure of a girlfriend in school. Jude has commitment issues, which comes from his dislike to settle down with something. Hopefully, the new job will allow him that closure.
