The shelves and displays are the first thing you notice as you enter in the Quality Quidditch Supplies shop. The side walls of the shop are neatly stacked with brooms and posters galore. You will find the latest brooms in stock as well as the typical family broom available. Between the side walls there are various shelves that are filled with various quidditch supplies and goods. This includes but is not limited to robes neatly arrayed on stacks, keeper gloves and on the two most outer-middle shelves, broom service kits. Lastly the back wall displays books and other reading materials, all to do with Quidditch of course.
All items are displayed with a price tagged on them. Be sure to handle with care, if you break something you must pay for it. When you are done here, go on ahead to the counter to pay for your new goods. Otherwise if you need any assistance at all please feel free to ask the shopkeeper, Brad. He will be more than glad to help you. Ooc: Please do not RP for the shopkeeper. The Diagon Alley Rules apply at all times. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Diagon Alley Questions thread.

"No, i've oy heard a bit about Hogwarts but i do know about the Houses and i want to get in to Ravenclaw" he smiled a little at the thought. "What Houses were your parents in?" he asked curiously.
Moving a few steps further to check out another broom near them, Dorian kept listening as the other kid told him someone called Hady had been a Head Girl while at school "is she your sister?" he asked.
The fact that there were MORE wizarding schools than just Hogwarts was mindblowing to him and he could not believe his dad never gave this piece of information to him but then again, as he thought of how he was feeling right now, it was rather a joy to find things out by himself. He was already learning and he wasn't even at school yet. Just one more year of waiting! "Is it true that there's a big lake around the castle and there's a giant monster living in it who eats the students?"
Ok so perhaps the giant quid wasn't that dangerous but GIANT SQUID! Koen couldn't be sure how this kid would really know whether or not that other guy was a pain but he would take his word on that one. Even if it weren't the truth it didn't matter to him since he didn't know the other guy anyhow.
The blonde raised an eyebrow. "Ravenclaw, huh? I would never make it in that house...the riddles just to get into the common room would bug me." He was smart yes but not all that good with riddles. Sitting around and reading textbooks wasn't his thing, not unless it involved dragons or music. "My dad was in Slytherin just like the rest of my family. Only my mom was in a different house, Gryffindor."
He laughed shaking his head. "Hady? No, she's my cousin. I do have a baby sister though and a baby brother too. Do you have siblings?" Just a curious question.
Ko was just about to ask the boy why he didn't know anything about the other schools but stopped when he was asked about the lake at Hogwarts. "Oh yeah, Hady says the first years get to ride in boats over the lake when they first arrive. The seventh years get to too but only on the way back to the train when they graduate." The thought of the boats was kind of cool to him but he had already missed out on that by not going to Hogwarts last term. A giant monster? "The Giant Squid? He doesn't eat kids...Hady says she's talked to him a few times and he's actually nice." Cue a shrug of the shoulders.

He doesn't eat kids...Hady says she's talked to him a few times and he's actually nice." Cue a shrug of the shoulders. "Riddles?" Dorian repeated sounding both curious and nervous. He liked riddles, but he wasn't that good at finding an answer and most times he'd flip a riddle book upside down to check the answer at the bottom and then pretend he knew it all along. "What..what happens if i can't answer a riddle?" would he be kicked out of the House with a note saying 'sorry but you don't belong here'?! He looked definitely worried now.
Luckily, he was slightly distracted as the other boy explained about his family. So this Hady person was not his sister but a cousin. Note taken. But when the same question was directed towards him he frowned. "I think i have a sister" he said slowly, thinking hard. "I'm not sure though, i'm adopted you see" he explained before he got another weird look because yes he had seen those when he had heard about there being more wizarding schools,just ignored them. "I don't know much about my birth parents other than that they were called Green. But how many families have that name nowadays right?" he laughed. "But i don't mind, im happy right now" and that was what counted right? Family wasn't always blood. It was those who care for you.
He thought about riding a boat on the water to get to the school and his eyes seemed to twinkle with excitement again. "I hate not being old enough, i want to go too!" he groaned in annoyance. "But when i do go we'll be friends right? We can play Quidditch then! By the way who'se your favorite team?!" he had one right?

It was only a riddle and not something insanely important like not being able to play the proper notes to a song on his guitar. Uh... Koen had to shrug in reply to that. "I really don't know but I doubt it would be anything bad. You might just have to find someone that could answer it or wait for one of your housemates to come along and let you in." Which could be problematic if you had to wait a really long time for someone to come along. Just another reason for him to NOT want to be a Ravenclaw now.
Huh? He thought he had a sister. The slight look of confusion had to be clearly there on the blonde's face until the boy went on to explain that he was adopted. Now that made sense and explained why he might not have known about the other schools too. "There's nothing wrong with being adopted if you're doing better now and you're happier." His cousin Hady is adopted and he almost told the boy that too but it's not his place to tell things about her like that. "Nope, I don't think so," he laughed along with the boy. "At least you're happy though." Happiness is what always mattered.
Koen laughed quietly. "You'll get to go next term...do you have an owl? We can owl each other if you like, I can fill you in on things there." They could talk about all different stuff. "Sure we can. I can show you all the cool stuff I find when you start and we can totally play Quidditch too." His favorite team? He ended up shrugging. "I'm not really sure. Which is yours?"

Théo loved this store. Just look at everything. It was all quidditch and Théo needed some new posters and a couple new bobbleheads. WAIT, before he even thinks about buying things he had to see how much money he had on him. Hopefully he had enough. He quickly looked into his pockets and well sad to say all that was there was dust.
;_____;
Now all he could do was just look around
Fun but not that same.

| For Phoebe / Tae :D YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers Skylar made her way into the quidditch shop, thinking that despite the supplies she'd purchased for camp, she still felt vastly unprepared for the upcoming tryouts for England's Under 17 team. If only Hogwarts still had Quidditch, she wouldn't feel so badly about her performance. And even though flying was making its way back into the curriculum, it wasn't the same as playing in actual positions against other players.
Standing amongst the displays of brooms and quidditch equipment though, it felt both comforting and exhausting. It was like she was home, yet so far away from the sport that she wondered how much it was worth to keep pressing. But she loved the sport and nothing felt better than being on a broomstick and tossing a quaffle through the air, or just the general flying sensation.
Closing her eyes, the fourteen year old just breathed in and out, not worried over the traffic around her, but just took in the smells of broom wood, the rubber quaffle smells, trying to imagine herself flying as her parents had for their house team. Even if it was just for one term, just once she would like that experience.

Problem was that he was having a horrible time picking just WHAT it was he wanted. Blue eyes scanning the shelves, he realized that every piece of Alice Odessa Fischer they had out were things he already owned...along with a lot of the Magpies merchandise. What he did not already own, well, judging by the weight of coins in his little bag...he couldn't afford it anyway. Maybe he should start collecting things from another team? Either the Falcons or the Harpies were what he gut was telling him. For reasons.
Idly picking up a Holyhead Harpies flag, he gave it a little wave to see how it felt.
Didn't mum have a former student on this team?

Didn't mum have a former student on this team? SOMEONE WAS WAVING A HARPIES' FLAG.
As if she needed a reason to enter the shop, Genny meandered through the shop towards the half wave of the flag of the best team in the universe. Not that she was obsessed with it, she did not kiss Oliver's poster goodnight anymore it was silly and so immature. She moved her Oliver collection to the attic because let's face it, few more items and she won't have space to walk in the room. Anyway. Ahem.
"Heeeeey!" She beamed even further upon seeing who had it. "Derf." Making sure she knew the younger boy's name, because Merlin knew she was only running into small boys this summer. Where did all the men go to? "Fancy running into you here. Lovely flag you've got there." She grinned and touched the material with open fondness. "Shopping for the next season already?" |

Huh? He thought he had a sister. The slight look of confusion had to be clearly there on the blonde's face until the boy went on to explain that he was adopted. Now that made sense and explained why he might not have known about the other schools too. "There's nothing wrong with being adopted if you're doing better now and you're happier." His cousin Hady is adopted and he almost told the boy that too but it's not his place to tell things about her like that. "Nope, I don't think so," he laughed along with the boy.

I can show you all the cool stuff I find when you start and we can totally play Quidditch too." His favorite team? He ended up shrugging. "I'm not really sure. Which is yours?" Great. Another underlying fear that perhaps Ravenclaw House was not the right one for him. What if he was one of those students who couldn't figure out the riddles and he would be placed in a group labeled 'dumb Ravenclaws'? He didn't want that!
And he wasn't the most patient person either. So waiting for another student to come and say the password was going to be such an ordeal for him so Dorian already made a mental note to become friends with others from his House the moment he saw them. But perhaps his underlying fear was nothing to be afraid of because he might not even be in Ravenclaw. He simply wanted to be mostly cause eagles are cool "Slytherin's live in the dungeons right? Under the lake?" he had heard his dad talk about it. "And the Gryffindor common room? Where is that?" he asked.
Dorian smiled big time after hearing his words when he had told him he was adopted. "Not many people think that way" he said with an annoyed sigh "You know how many times i've heard people ask me things like; "So your real parents don't love you?" Or "So...no one in your family is your real family right? So many times that" he shook his head as if he couldn't get the stupidity that came out of peoples mouths sometimes.
....This...wait....this kid liked Quidditch but didn't have a favorite team?!
The ten year old stared at him as if he were an alien. "That's" he almost did not want to say it but he did so anyways "weird" he finished while still staring at him in disbelieve. "Mine is the Ballycastle Bats!" he said proudly. "No, i don't have an owl" he looked down at his shoes for a moment before looking back up. "I have a toad though, his name Savien but he sadly can't send letters....hey wait, what's YOUR name even?"

"I have a toad though, his name Savien but he sadly can't send letters....hey wait, what's YOUR name even?" If he had put the kid off on wanting to be a Ravenclaw he hadn't meant to. Even if Slytherin was the best house. Honestly he wasn't even entirely sure if riddles had anything to do with getting into that common room but he thought it was and that's what he had been told soooo...
Koen nodded his head of blonde hair. "Yeah. There's huge windows in the common room that show the lake and sometimes you can see what lives there...if something swims passed the windows of course." His family had told him that, especially Hady who he knew had sat by those windows all the time. "Somewhere on the seventh floor. There's a tower there." In other words, very very far from the dungeons.
Listening to the younger boy he kinda felt bad that he had to go through that and it made him wonder if Hady dealt with those questions too. "I don't think any of that is important. No one knows what happened or why you're adopted." Was that him talking or his parents? It sounded ever like something his mom and dad would say to him.
The look on the other kids face when he said he didn't have a favorite team made him laugh. "Weird maybe but true." He hadn't really cared enough to focus on just one team.
Hmm. That might pose a small problem. "Does your dad have an owl he would let you use? Or would he take you to the post office and let you send letters like that?" Either of those wouldn't be to big a deal really. "I have a snake and a crup...neither of them can send letters either," he grinned. See he didn't have his own owl yet either. "Koen, what's yours?"

Fun but not that same. Coin purse in hand, Natalie walked into the supply shop in search of some things she needed for school. Her parents were busy getting her books, so she had to be responsible and get some things for herself too.
There were a lot of things to look at. Useful things, not useful things, other things that she had no idea of their purpose. Natalie wandered slowly, occasionally looking at or picking something up to see what it was, but she eventually moved on. She spotted a boy her age looking around, too. Natalie paused... and then smiled at him. Hello," she said softly. Because this was a nice place to make friends, wasn't it? |

Might as well try and have some fun. But before he could give go to admire the broom in the display. He saw some girl smiling at him. He did not recognize her. "Hey, you see the latest broom over there. Its amazing right!"
Théo really should have been more polite.
But he was in this shop after all.

But he was in this shop after all. ... Well, that's not what she was expecting. Another hello, maybe an introduction. But no, there was talk of a broom. Natalie blinked at the unexpected question and looked around for a broom... but this was a quidditch shop, so there were many brooms. "Err, which one?" She clearly didn't know which one was NEW. They all looked the same to her. If she had to take flying again, she was just going to use the old brooms provided by the school. Because she didn't need... nor want one. |

But Théo did not care. "The one that just came out"
Théo took her hand and brought her over to it. Since well it was the faster way and he did not really want to say hey follow me and all that. "Not like I need a new broom or anything. But it sure does look cool. Oh, wait. Sorry I'm Théo"

Her parents never really liked it enough to watch it, so she didn't learn anything about it or watch any games.
And suddenly... he was holding her hand. Blue eyes wide, Natalie followed behind the boy who was holding her hand for no reason at all. She stared at their hands... and slowly pulled hers away as soon as they arrived at the broom. No need to hold it, strange boy. "Uhhh, I'm Natalie." ...... "And yeah, I guess the broom is cool." |

Not that she was obsessed with it, she did not kiss Oliver's poster goodnight anymore it was silly and so immature. She moved her Oliver collection to the attic because let's face it, few more items and she won't have space to walk in the room. Anyway. Ahem.
"Heeeeey!" She beamed even further upon seeing who had it. "Derf." Making sure she knew the younger boy's name, because Merlin knew she was only running into small boys this summer. Where did all the men go to? "Fancy running into you here. Lovely flag you've got there." She grinned and touched the material with open fondness. "Shopping for the next season already?" Giving the flag a bit more of an enthusiastic wave and decided that, yup, Harpies it would be. They were green too, which was his favorite color.
Settling on the flag first, his blue eyes scanned the rest of the merchandise for a second item - maybe one of the plushie mascots? - when he heard his name. HOLY FLAMING SALAMANDERS IT WAS HER! DID SHE KNOW WHO SHE WAS? Well, no, that was a silly question because of course she knew who she was. Was she aware that she confused his theory about Gryffindor girls all being blonde? Because she did. Unless that wasn't her natural color.
And now he was unabashedly staring at her hair.
.......stare.
Next thing he knew her lips were moving but he was too busy staring at her hair to really compute what was happening and really only caught her 'already' - so everything else had gone in one ear and out the other. Oops? "How come there is-s-s no merchandis-se of you?" he asked in lieu of a response.

Genny frowned a little, confused, and her hand unconsciously went up to pat her hair down. Was there a twig in her hair somewhere again? She didn't remember taking a wild detour on her way to the alley, so it must not be it.
When he talked, it didn't make any sense. Not because of the stutter, which was sort of 'aww poor thing' in Genny's head, but because-- well, it didn't make any sense. "Uhm." she pretended to think for a second, "Because I'm not a professional player? Not that I would mind, in fact I agree that there should be merchandise of me for being such a cool, super girl." She grinned jokingly. "Seriously, though, get the flag. What else do you have that we shouldn't pick?" She went ahead and pressed his hand that held flag to his chest. Take it. |

But..nothing. "Cool. Do you like quidditch at all?"
Because if no then well the whole conversation would change completely.

Derf soon found himself shaking his head as she spoke. "But you ARE on the U-17 team," he insisted with pleading eyes. "That practically IS-S-S famous-s! I'd wear a s-shirt wiff your face on it."
Just saying, he would.
Even if he was not all that skilled as a beater and had more of a chaser's built or maaaaaybe seeker (although his attention span was not cut out for spotting tiny golden objects).
TOUCHING! SHE WAS TOUCHING HIM! Okay, so not the first time technically because they had been in classes together and spent an entire year at Hogwarts...but this was DIFFERENT! Why? Because...it just WAS. "O-Okay!" he nodded. Not that he had planned on protesting anyway. "Uuuuuh...I was finking about getting one of the mas-scot plus-shies..."
He probably should check how much he had in the way of coins before picking too many things and then having another incident at the register where he had to remove items from the receipt until he could afford it. Remembering how many sickles to a galleon and all that were just not on his priority list to know, okay? Numbers were hard.

Because if no then well the whole conversation would change completely. See, maybe THIS question should have been his FIRST question. "Ummm... I dunno. I haven't really seen a lot of it." So she wasn't saying no right out, but she didn't have enough experience with it to either say yes or now. But she couldn't say she hated it. "Do you play?" she asked with a head tilt. He was young like her, but... maybe he played with friends. |

He was young like her, but... maybe he played with friends. Well, they were in Quality Quidditch Supplies so Théo kinda just thought she at least liked quidditch or why else walk in. Wait, she hasn't seen a lot well. Well that can change though its a lot harder since no quidditch at Hogwarts. "Well do you like flying"
Of course he played.Every chance he gets when he is home. Even now asking his cousin how to get better because he wanted to get better and maybe even beat his cousin at it. Which is actually a nice goal since she is good. "Yeah, i love it. I just think its really fun. Uh what are you doing in this shop if you dont like Quidditch?"
Théo quickly took a look around to see where the posters were.

Théo quickly took a look around to see where the posters were. Flying... "Well, I suppose. I've only really done it in class. And that was last year." Natalie didn't have her own broom at home so she couldn't practice outside of school. "It was a little scary..." But it was also a little exhilarating. "Hey, I didn't say I didn't like it!" She was careful not to say it, since she didn't know well enough to say yes or no.
Why did she come into the shop? "I came in to see if I needed anything for school this year." So far... she didn't think she did. She did, however, need to go into the supplies shop to get some more pens and journals and things. |

Why did she come into the shop? "I came in to see if I needed anything for school this year." So far... she didn't think she did. She did, however, need to go into the supplies shop to get some more pens and journals and things. Oh so she had been flying. But flying in school was way different than flying at home or on your own. No rules or Professor's watching you make sure you are not doing anything too advanced. "Its more fun when not at school. But yeah it is a little scary. But that's part of the fun...for me anyway"
Théo gave her a confused look. She came in here for school things. Well if the school had quidditch then it would make sense. But there was nothing here for school. "Uh...there is nothing in this shop for school. This shop is only for quidditch stuff and well gobstone stuff too."
Confusing.

Remembering how many sickles to a galleon and all that were just not on his priority list to know, okay? Numbers were hard. Genny kept her grin as she nodded. Yep, she was on the U-17 team and she wasn't even aware that people actually recognized her from there. Usually people went for professional teams. "Really? You would?" But her face wasn't that pretty. Maybe a picture with her face and her bat would make it a lot more prettier, because merlin knew her sweet precious bat (that she hadn't named yet) was so intricate and beautiful.
GRIN. Aw, he had that cute accent, too. Or was she the one with the accent? Her attention span wasn't any better, she jumped from idea to idea in a blink. "Okay, I guess we'll have to test them all and choose the plushiest." Legit bummer if the plushy did not prompt you to fall into the land of comfort and cotton candy clouds. Genny moved further up the aisle to where the dark green plushies were. "Do you want ones with just the talon on them?" She had various shapes and designs, some were too creative they barely resembled the Harpies anymore.
Also.
"Who's your favourite Harpy?" She turned around to look at him as he answered. This was a definitive phase in their friendship, tread carefully Derf! |

Confusing. So he liked the thrill and scary part, hmm... Natalie silently tried to figure out what house he was in. She'd seen some older students figure out who of their classmates were in what house... but she didn't know how. It was tricky. All she knew was that he wasn't in HER house. "What house are you in?" There, that was the easiest way to find out.
Yes, clearly this was not a school supply shop. "Well, I know that now" she said, crossing her arms over her chest. "I guess I'll leave, then." Since she had no business here, apparently. |

Huh, she wanted to know what house he was in. Why? Did it matter at all? Théo did not really care so he was going to tell her anyway. "Gryffindor. I don't think I have seen you in the common room. So I'm guessing not Gryffindor for you?"
Well sorry for stating the obvious. But well the whole place was a quidditch shop for a game. Best just tell her in case. He shrugged. "Oh, well it was nice to meet you"
She did seem like she wanted to get her school shopping over with.
