| | |  Grimoire (Black Book of Potions)
 Next to the counter, stands a tall pedestal. On it is a very ancient book: a grimoire or a black book of potions. It was put there by the former shopkeeper, Abraham, who has dedicated his life to sharing knowledge. The book is made of strong, dark brown leather. A simple silver fastener is attached the side of the book to keep the book firmly closed; but not locked. In order to ensure that no one would destroy or steal, a series of spells were put upon it. Everyone is welcome to consult it. No customer should expect anything from within it.
If a customer opens it, he or she will notice that everything has been handwritten. Abraham had taken a great deal of time putting this together and each subsequent shopkeeper including Nigel has painstakenly taking care to continue the tradition. Feel free to chat about what you read and take some notes.

After a while he knew he had to get a closer look to make sure everything was alright and no one had made a mess of it.
So when he was free from customers for a little bit, he walked over to the corner of the shop where it lay on its pedestal. The shopkeeper was just in time to catch two girls chatting by the grimoire, the man wondering if they were up to something. “Was there something you were looking for?” he asked as he approached them, a slightly raised eyebrow making him look quite curious about their presence and possible intentions.

She gestured to the grimoire, "Potions is my favorite class, so i just wanted to see what was all in it..." She paused, "That is if i am allowed to?" She said the last part in a questioning tone. Did the shopkeeper think she was wanting to do something evil?

Angelina smiled at Taylor and said, "Mine was pretty good, went and did a lot with my family. You?" Taylor flipped her hair and looked at Angelina, "Went to France then back to Scotland where we live." She smiled, "Finally, talked to my mother after 11 years."

Did the shopkeeper think she was wanting to do something evil? "Very well," Nigel replied listening to her explaination as to her attraction to the book. Still didn't explain why she was chatting rather then reading or taking notes but she was behaving for now. "Yes it is allowed...thats its purpose to be here and not in my office," he remarked looking to the other girl as she spoke up.

Angelina smiled at Taylor and said, "Mine was pretty good, went and did a lot with my family. You?" "Indeed?" the shopkeeper mused hearing her own, apparently more truthful answer. "Well just make sure not to block the book should another be interested in reading it...hmmm" he instructed them looking between th two girls before returning to his rounds.

Angelina smiled a little at Taylor and turned to look at the book with her. Taylor covered some of her face with her hair and put her hand to her mouth to try to cover a laugh. She saw the one potion in there that was causing her problems so she took out a piece of paper and jolted notes so that maybe she get better results on the potion next time.

Angelina watched Taylor cover her face up with her mouth and hair to laugh. She then grabbed a piece of paper and began to take notes. Angelina started to wonder why.... hmm?

She grinned, "The potion has been giving me troubles no matter what i do." She grimaced, "Mother does it so perfectly." She sighed, "I just didn't want to ask her in fear that she will be disappointed in me." She frowned slightly, "If you are done looking at it, i can close it." She smiled.

Abby went around the shop. She liked looking at all these weird-looking things they had, no offenses though. Then a group of crowding people at the corner caught her eye. She joined them. Oh, what is that?!
She overheard some people talk about it. It was a book with the names of all potions found out. Maybe Flourish and Blotts would need some copies of those... Heh.

Finally Derek arrived where he wanted. The Black Book of Potions. Not those silly old books Florish and Blotts sold. He could get real knowledge from each and every one of these pages.
He approached the pedestal slowly, as if he was getting closer and closer to something holy. That book was holy, in his opinion. It might be his imagination, but he could see something around the book. Some sort of aura, maybe?
When he finally reached the Grimoire, he took a deep breath. He loved that smell. The smell of knowledge. And not just any knowledge, Potions knowledge. He started looking through the pages, absorbing every bit of information he could. | |
