Located at 275 Diagon Alley, Madam Primpernelle's Beautifying Potions seeks to aid the everyday witch or wizard in maintaining or improving her or his physical appearance. With skincare products that remove warts, acne and worse, and hair care potions that will make one's locks luxurious and glossy, this shop should be the first stop on any image-conscious witch or wizard's visit to Diagon Alley!
As you proceed inside the store you notice that it is divided into two parts. To the right, you will encounter aisles filled with Beauty Care Potions to treat all of your beauty problems, including warts, pimples, dry skin, sunburn, and many more. To the left of the store, you will find aisles filled with Beauty Enhancement Potions, potions that have been designed to help you look your best. They range from simple products, such as hair colour changing potions and teeth whitening potions, to much more dangerous potions that can help you become thinner and younger looking. The shelves are filled with bottles, flasks, and containers of different shapes, sizes, and colours.
The counter is located in the middle of the store. It is decorated with small flower arrangements, a glass bowl filled with bonbons, business cards with the store's contact information, a few magazines (including Witch Weekly and Rumours!), small brochures and pamphlets with coupons and special deals, and small flasks of fragrance samples. If you have any questions about a product, can't find a certain potion, or are in dire need of immediate magical help for your beauty problems the shopkeeper will be more than happy to help you.

This shop is owned by an NPC and is a part of the IC Shopkeeper initiative. For details, please see this thread.
With her start of term essentially all purchased and already packed in her trunk for the coming term, Diamond hit the streets of Diagon Alley on assignment. Summer was always her favorite time of year since it was when Witch Weekly tended to lean a bit more on its youth contributors for its coveted (in her eyes) August editions. Which meant out were the food products and IN were the beauty ones. Specifically she wanted to look at the lipgloss options so she could test them out with Theia later. But today was not ALL about content and clout, remarkably. Everyone could please stop clutching their pearls in shock.
No, no no. Today the budding wizarding world influencer was looking for some product for herself and her own personal use as well. Seeing as she was on the cusp of her BIG break in wizarding sports and media, she needed to look the part. She was still working on mum to let her go on a shopping spree at Malkins, but she was confident she would cave eventually. After all, Diamond had exceeded expectations with her school marks her first year so it wasn't like any of this was distracting her!
Browsing the eye enhancement displays, the Gryffindor idly picked up a phial of Natural Sparkle and considered it. "HmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMmmmm..."
Ok, Theia was here for some different reasons like seeing if the bookshop had some magical girl book. You know it's always a possibility! Today the answer was no. So what was one blonde soon-to-be second-year ravenclaw to do? Well, she thought it would be fun to see what new beauty products had come in. But mostly lipgloss. Her dad was off being manipulated into buying something for Calli and well Theia was doing her best to sneak away from mum when she was distracted looking for something to buy in the same beauty shop.
Mission… unsuccessfully successful..maybe??
Off to the lipgloss she goes!
Sadly she got distracted really quickly. A head of hair and fashion sense looked too familiar to walk by and ignore.
“Diamond!”
No surprise hug here because they were indoors

Not wanting to embarrass herself, the brunette took another step into the store, moving so that she wasn't blocking the way anymore. "What kind of store is this" She found herself looking back to the other girl, her eyebrows furrowed in an inquisitive sort of way as she took off her sunnies and let them hang from the neckline of her flowing sundress.
The sunnies were meant to be part of a disguise, but Bronwen didn't really understand the point. It was fun when everyone else was involved, but on her own, she felt stupid wearing them indoors. Her scarf could stay though, she liked that it added to her look.
Alissa hadn't even realized she was supposed to be in disguise, she just thought she was wearing a cool scarf. It wasn't super effective as a disguise (sorry!). She'd still been able to recognize her. Alissa had been a fan of Grimoire for a while, and thought the kids were fascinating. They were around her age, and their lives seemed super cool. Famous moms in a famous band, living on the road and going to cool places and going to shows. It seemed like such a cool life. Alissa had been interested in learning as much as she could about them, wondering what it would be like to be their friends but never dreaming she would soon to be going to the same school as them.
So yeah, hi Brownwen nice scarf but she definitely knows who you are. But she's being super cool about it. Like super chill. Definitely not internally freaking out. "Oh, um, I don't know exactly. I've never been here before." Her accent was very American, making her stick out like a sore thumb around here whenever she opened her mouth. And making it clear that she hadn't been here before because she wasn't from here. "I was just kind of exploring and thought I'd look around. I think it's kind of a beauty shop."
"What a shame," Florrie murmured back, glancing around. "Maybe relaxing isn't what I'm looking for." Though a massage did sound like something she needed, with the toll her gym routine had been taking lately. Easier to stay busy and exhausted, rather than think about things. Watching Theo, she noticed the wink and she loved it - the way she loved every wink a particularly hot person offered her.
"A fragrance? I see. Maybe there's something you can recommend?" And she could pretend she would change from the one she'd worn for the past five years whilst he looked busy.
"No," Theo agreed, half-vague, half-grave, though not genuinely so. "Some find it boring. Can't switch off." Theo could not relate; he loved to kick back, relax, drift, and he absolutely loved to switch off (maybe it was his default state)... and yet he was also very much about his fitness workouts. Go figure.
"Maybe there is..." he said, and considered the frgrance bottles on shelves all around them. Technically this was part of his job, so yes, he ought to be able to manage just that. Theo pushed his hair up and out of his eyes, raked his fingers through it, then picked out the sample bottle of a slim and elegantly curved gold number. He spritzed it onto the inside of his own wrist, took a sniff.
Something about it reminded him so intensely of that glamorous French witch, his mother. Theo left that part out as he smiled lazy at Florrie. "This one would suit you." He raised the sample bottle. "May I?"

No surprise hug here because they were indoors
A couple of potentials in her basket, Diamond swung around when she heard her name and did not even NEED the visual confirmation that that voice belonged to Theia. "Aaaaaaaaah!" she squealed in delight at the sight of the blonde and even did something that could be mistaken as an elaborate tap dance routine. "Oh my gosh are you a Seer or something because I was literally just thinking about you. Or maybe because I was thinking about you I manifested our meeting...hmm...ANYWAY...SO, glad you are heeeeere!" Maybe no SURPRISE hug, but Diamond was reaching for the bestie to give her a remarkably unsurprising and saw-it-coming-a-million-kilometers-away kind of hug. "How are you? How is your summer going since I last saw you?" Because the beach trip and everything that had been oh-so chic and she certainly hoped to be included on more outings with the Barringtons. "Oh my gosh I have the greatest news, by the way. But tell me what's new with you first."
She was being cordial...and also peeking to see if either of her famous parents were nearby for a quote.

"Me neither," Bee chimed in as if it weren't obvious. Only then after a beat adding, "Awh. You're American! I love Americans." They were so strange, Americans. She hadn't spent any time in the country beyond when they'd stop over for tours, but what she had seen, she loved. They were so unreserved. Like a country full of Celinde's. Quite frankly, that would be Bronwen's personal nightmare, but that bit hadn't quite clicked for her. Besides, this one seemed quite pleasant so far.
"Do you want to explore together then?" She asked before lifting her camera up to snap a photo of the shop. She had taken a few photos from the trip thus far. It'd be cute to put together a little scrapbook page, perhaps. In any case, it was a digital camera, she could always go back and delete the photos she didn't have a need for.

That was surprising. Was not expecting the dancing or whatever it was. Theia was intrigued. She would give it a 7 out of 10 on the diamond and theia scale. Did she have seer blood in her fam. She didn't think so but it could be a possibility. Questions to ask later when she was home.
“I wish that would make me a lot cooler, right??”
Oh, she was prepared for the hug; even when it happened, you can never be fully prepared for a diamond-branded hug. It was just the facts.
“Well, obviously there has been more beach. And time on the island but besides that I mostly just learned to surf better so not really exciting. But was fun.. NOW whats this news you have!!!??”
The greatest news sounded really great.

My family just moved to London. So I'll be starting at Hogwarts this year." See, they had so much in common. They were well on their way to becoming besties.
"Sure!" Alissa beamed at the thought of exploring together. She peered at the aisles in front of them. "Let's try this way first." She pointed down one of them. "I think I see some nail polish. I could use a few bottles." One could never have too many bottles of nail polish.

Diamond laughed and enveloped Theia into an even more vigorous kind of hug because PU-H-LEASE, they were already plenty cool as it was. Though...it would always serve to be more cool but she wasn't going to say that outloud. "I don't think the world could handle us if we had that too," she settled on in reply with a haughty short of wiggle to the shoulders as she released the blonde from her embrace.
"Ug, your parents are so cool though," the Gryffindor insister. Even if she felt Theia's dad's music was a bit DATED it was still cool to see all his instruments and the like. And her mom being a spokesmodel...there were connections to be had there. Diamond just needed to figure all that out with a thoughtful flow chart. "Oh weeeeeeeeeeeeeell...I've been accepted into a junior sports correspondent at the WWN! I'll be announcing at U-17 quidditch and gobstones matches NEXT summer." There was some rubbish about her being too young now and whatever but it was HAPPENING. "So I get to shadow things this summer a bit. I will be putting in a pitch to Headmaster Winterbottom about being an announcer at Hogwarts too." Obviously.

Maria was still wiping her nose and eyes with her handkerchief when Vera offered her a clip that she could put on her nose against the heavy perfume smells. Smiling she said "Thanks Vera, I think I'll be okay in a minute, if not I'll take you up on borrowing that nose clip. Where have you got a nose clip anyway?" Luckily if Maria borrowed the clip than Kion wasn't there to stare at her nose contraption.
The further they got into the store, and the more space they put between them, and the perfumes display made Maria's nose thank merlin stop itching enough that she'd sneeze. It would be hard to focus on the errand she was her with her friend to buy if she kept sneezing. Raising her brows in suprise and mild confusion Maria asked "Now you want to dye your hair red and gold like the lions, but I thought you wanted pink or more black?" Nodding she considered her question. "I think it's still popular to just dye some strands of hair another colour. It seems sensible too because then you can feel in you like the colour your trying out or not. Didn't your housemate Remy dye her hair last year?" Or had Maria misremembered? Could she get her daddy's to allow her to dye a few strands of her bushy big hair blue or bronze? Nah, maybe it'd look super weird. That was why nailpolish was safer.
Thinking about Kion made Maria's face glow with warmth. "We had a date at floreans just the other day actually. I think I'm in love with Kion..." Oops she hadn't meant to blurt that out.. "Erm, so what's going on with you and Logan? Any news?"
At the polite decline for the nose clip, Ve nodded in understanding before pocketing the contraption again. She could certainly understand hesitancy in wanting to use it - after all, it was certainly not the most fashionable thing someone could use for adornment. But… it was practical. "Had to purchase for my job. When they say junk forager they really mean junk forager. Some of the places around the alley are so stinky!" Not that she was ever in love with the idea of running into anyone either with it on but… it was almost unavoidable at this point.
The lioness was pleased to see her badger adjusting better to the smells the further they moved into the room, and she soon forgot all about the little clip and pungent smells and all of the things. She giggled at the question, throwing her hands up in the air dramatically as she did so. "See! This is why I need you to keep me focused! I keep getting distracted by other ideas!" Putting her in front of a pretty display was clearly detrimental to her sanity. And her pocketbook. "Ummm. Maybe???" She didn't pay nearly enough attention to her housemates outside of those she was particularly close to, but now that Maria had mentioned it she DID think maybe Remy's hair had changed color a bit. And she'd always had nice hair regardless of if that was true or not so even the assumption that her hair could be akin to the older girl's seemed like a positive thing. "I think I'll start all dark. And maybe add in some more caramel-y highlights or low lights or something." Not that she knew the difference. Make up she was now comfortable with - hair things…. Not so much.
But something else she was more comfortable with? Talking about boys. Now, at least, considering that had been more of a recent development. Maria's face was so cute when she talked about Kion and while Ve herself could not fathom the depth of emotion that came with being in LOVE with another person, she also didn't doubt it when Maria said it. Especially not when THAT was how she looked whenever her boyfriend's name came up. "Do you think you'll tell him?" It really wouldn't be that surprising to her either if it was a reciprocated feeling. As for her? "Well, no real developments. But maybe you can tell me more about how you and Kion ended up together? My brother tells me I should just… go for it, but actually expressing an interest in someone seems so difficult. How did you do it?"

Diamond laughed and enveloped Theia into an even more vigorous kind of hug because PU-H-LEASE, they were already plenty cool as it was. Though...it would always serve to be more cool but she wasn't going to say that outloud. "I don't think the world could handle us if we had that too," she settled on in reply with a haughty short of wiggle to the shoulders as she released the blonde from her embrace.
"Ug, your parents are so cool though," the Gryffindor insister. Even if she felt Theia's dad's music was a bit DATED it was still cool to see all his instruments and the like. And her mom being a spokesmodel...there were connections to be had there. Diamond just needed to figure all that out with a thoughtful flow chart. "Oh weeeeeeeeeeeeeell...I've been accepted into a junior sports correspondent at the WWN! I'll be announcing at U-17 quidditch and gobstones matches NEXT summer." There was some rubbish about her being too young now and whatever but it was HAPPENING. "So I get to shadow things this summer a bit. I will be putting in a pitch to Headmaster Winterbottom about being an announcer at Hogwarts too." Obviously.
Ok ok, Diamond was right. somethings did not need to be said out loud. The irony being diamond liked to talk so when wasnt she saying things out loud for people to hear.
"They wouldn't see us coming right?"
Get it Get it. ok even if she didn't that was a good one on the spot. Whhhhy did she have to say that. It just makes Theia groan. Her parents were not cool...ok only when they had to go to fancy dinners and dressed up. Than they looked cool but besides that no way.
"Diaaaamooond, they are not. All they do is lay about on the beach. There is nothing cool about that"
Anyway enough about boring people since good news was good news to Theia. Theia bounced on her feet when she heard the news. Getting to call games was huuuge.
"Thats soo cool. which one are you more looking forward to gobstones or quidditch?"

"Thats soo cool. which one are you more looking forward to gobstones or quidditch?"
Diamond smirked and draped an arm around her friend's shoulders. "I think we get to decide if they see us coming or not," she declared quietly while giving Theia a little pat pat on the opposite shoulder.
Diamond rolled her eyes a bit but already had a comeback ready. "I mean, of course you don't think they are cool. They're your parents. It's like...the law that you have to think your parents aren't cool and a little lame." Diamond thought hers were selectively cool. It was thanks to them both that she had spots on both the youth broadcasting team at the WWN and junior correspondence at Witch Weekly. So...they were okay sometimes. "But like...your dad is an old school wrock star and mum a model. Way cooler than like...working at the Leaky Cauldron as a waiter or barkeep or just being the usual Ministry slug." Like, aurors and all that were cool...SHE SUPPOSED... but it was so expected and common these days. Cursebreakers too. No offense. "Bit of a toss up depending on the day, but probably quidditch since it reaches a wider audience than gobstones does. Technically. My cousin plays professionally for Tinworth, it is this WHOLE thing because of the Neo-Alliance killing a pristine member of our Marchbanks family."
Diamond turned her attention back to the display shelves and pulled several more items off the shelves into her basket. "That is also why I need your help testing some product. My lips are going to be flapping a lot and I want them to not only look amazing in case of the media and all that...but feel amazing too." Hydrated and all that jazz. "So...let's test lip glosses. I've already got some stock at home and picking up some more today. We can test things out once we are at Hogwarts and maaaaaybe our rankings can work for a submission for Witch Weekly." Maybe The Quill too...she wasn't sure she wanted to write for a simple school paper or not but the extracurriculars would look good in the long run.

"Sure!" Alissa beamed at the thought of exploring together. She peered at the aisles in front of them. "Let's try this way first." She pointed down one of them. "I think I see some nail polish. I could use a few bottles." One could never have too many bottles of nail polish.
Though the question did not need an answer, Ronnie still found herself nodding. "They're so entertaining. I've never met one I don't like." Though, to be fair, it was difficult to get on Bee's bad side. The side hardly existed at all. She was easy! "No way! I'm starting Hogwarts this year too. I'll be new as well. With all my cousins." And there were many.
"I would love some nail polish," she agreed easily, starting towards the aisle. "I like to get them done, usually, but I'd imagine that'd be hard at school. I'll have to get good at doing them myself." She hadn't thought about this before now. But no wifi? No nail tech? She'd really be roughing it this year.

"No," Theo agreed, half-vague, half-grave, though not genuinely so. "Some find it boring. Can't switch off." Theo could not relate; he loved to kick back, relax, drift, and he absolutely loved to switch off (maybe it was his default state)... and yet he was also very much about his fitness workouts. Go figure.
"Maybe there is..." he said, and considered the frgrance bottles on shelves all around them. Technically this was part of his job, so yes, he ought to be able to manage just that. Theo pushed his hair up and out of his eyes, raked his fingers through it, then picked out the sample bottle of a slim and elegantly curved gold number. He spritzed it onto the inside of his own wrist, took a sniff.
Something about it reminded him so intensely of that glamorous French witch, his mother. Theo left that part out as he smiled lazy at Florrie. "This one would suit you." He raised the sample bottle. "May I?"
Florrie didn't enjoy switching off. She wanted to, but she also didn't like being left alone with her thoughts. Her kind of relaxation came in different ways, though she was obviously all about pampering. "What about you? Can you switch off?" she asked innocently, before a coy smile crossed her face. "Or do you close your eyes and continue to think of spritzing perfumes?" The blonde wondered what else he did with his time.
Probably for the best that he left that out - Florrie was absolutely not one who would take kindly to be compared to someone's mother, glamourous French witch or not. She paused for a moment, watching him as though evaluating her trust in his choice, but really she was just subtly trying to separate the fragrance he'd just sprayed from the other smells that the shop carried. She did, however, lean forward slightly, tilting her head and moving her hair out of the way for best access to her neck.

As Etta’s second year at Hogwarts was just around the corner, the youngling wandered in Diagon Alley (her older sister not far) independently. The youngling made a stop at Madam Primpernelle’s to browse the shop, looking for a specific potion she read about. You see, Etta’s vision wasn’t the greatest and didn’t like wearing her glasses. They just made her face feel bulky. Squinting her eyes she read the label on the item, “Perfect Vision Potion. Repair your eyesight.” Etta beamed with glee when she found what she was looking for. ”Bingo!” She said to herself.
Hmm, should she also consider looking into the heat protectant? After all she had been using a flat iron to straighten her hair lately.
Despite having her sister nearby, the youngling couldn't to herself the social anxiety that was kicking in. The youngling wanted her independence, but she still feared people's cruelty. Rome was not built in a day and everyday Etta made progress.
Taking a few deep breaths, she mentally coached herself to remain calm and assure herself that she was okay.

20 minutes, Drake reminded himself as he pushed his way into Primpernelle's. He had 20 minutes to find the product he'd need to keep his curls nice and healthy during the school year, and then he'd have a whole 20 minutes additional to go to the pet store and look at all of the adorable creatures. Maybeeee he could even cuddle one or two and grab a few treats for their kneazle before it was time to meet back with his mum and sister. Glancing down at the watch at his wrist, he noted the time - once more telling himself 20 minutes - before glancing at all the shelves to find the right one.
..... which since Gilly usually did this part with him too for her own product, he didn't actually know WHICH self it was. It took him a few minutes more he looked hair items. Another check to the wrist told him he'd wasted 5 minutes which meant he needed to go faster with reviewing what each potion was supposed to do. Picking up two, he looked at them both in his hands, before another check to his watch as he took a step backwards and gently bumped into someone else in the shop. "Oh! I'm sorry!"

Etta’s anxiety rose when she was bumped into. She was not injured, no, but she did appreciate the apology. It was nice. But then concern grew when the young boy seemed a bit frazzled. ”I’m okay.” Etta waved her hands and smiled, then shot him a worried look, ”Are you okay?” Etta softly added, hopefully he wasn’t injured.
Besides the potion for her eyes, she had settled on the heat protectant for her long and luscious locks. Etta took notice of the hair products the young boy was holding and looked up at his hair and smiled, he really did have nice curls. ”Would you like some help?” Surely the boy must have everything under control and don’t need any assistance, but even if that were the case Etta was lending a helping hand.

”I’m Etta. Henrietta smiled and bowed politely.
Considering it was his fault for the minor collision, the return question of if he was okay came as a bit of a surprise to him. Which probably showed on his face as Drake blinked at her for a moment, before smiling once more as well and giving a nod. "I'm okay! Thank you." It was nice of her to be concerned too, even if she was well within her right to be annoyed with him.
Oh she was a life saver and Drake could have fallen at her feet in relief when she offered to help. But instead of being that extra, he simply nodded his head enthusiastically in a yes motion before offering the two in his hands further towards her. "My sister usually does this part and then we just share. I don't actually know what I should be using." So help was very, very much appreciated.
Placing one of the bottles back, Drakey grabbed another to scan the label on it. "Hi, Etta! I think I saw you around the common room! You're a Slytherin too right?" He was often shy himself as well, so once he'd found his primary people Drake hadn't done nearly a good enough job of meeting others. "I'm Mandrake! But you can call me just Drake."

Despite her Mom being a former model and her sister being extremely glamorous, fourteen year old Aurora had not yet experimented with makeup or beautifying potions by herself. It had never really been of interest to her personally but as her friends started to mature, she feared being left behind. With Ariadne graduating from Hogwarts it wasn’t like she could ask for help anymore and so off to Madame Pimpernelle’s she went to somewhat make sense of it all.
The blonde (who had grown to a whole 5’1 over the past year) perused the shelves glancing at each of the products as she went along. The Pimple Poofer and Wart Remover were thankfully not required as she had been blessed with genetically great skin. What an ‘Age Spot’ was she did not know but it sounded weird. Then there were all these potions for goodness knows what that left the incoming fourth year confused over where to start.
we might only get a few of these in, since the train is here? Err?

Much like her fellow fourteen-year-old, Zara had not played around with makeup much, not since she was very very little and just wanted to copy everything her mum did. In fact, she considered herself incredibly naturally good-looking and thus above the need for a place like Primpernelle's.
Still, she had a little time to kill on her own (she had the best dad in the world, facts, and he actually didn't even care if she spent her pocket money on whatever she wanted) so she thought about trying out a few new scents and seeing if anything else caught her eye. She flipped her red hair over her shoulder as she came around a corner in the shop, near the potions and wart-removers and all that, nearly bumping into a girl about her own age. Well, well, well, school shopping season was upon them, wasn't it?
She couldn't help eying what the girl was looking at, tsking softly under her breath, "What on earth do you need wart remover for? Or age spot potions? Or any, for that matter?"
It was a compliment delivered in the most Bunburyish way possible, wasn't it.

Aurora wasn’t the most observant person, an Auror she would not make or a dueller on anything that required her full attention to be honest, but she was nosey and listening in to others conversations had become a terrible habit of hers. The muttering under the breath was caught in parts and correctly assuming that it was intentionally directed her way, the petite blonde grinned at the source. “What is an age spot?” she asked in the hopes that this fellow teenager was a little more clued up in the ways of beauty. “Are they like freckles? Because I have lots of them, not as many as my Mom though but my family have always said they’re really cute and so why would anyone want to get rid of them?” Beauty standards were a foreign concept to the fourteen year old.
She placed the potions back on the shelf where they belonged and moved onto the next rack of products that might have been a little more appropriate for a girl of her age. “Do you know much about makeup?” she enquired, turning over the Fairy Glitter Potion in her hand and eyes lighting up at the thought of buying it to share with Anna. They were the embodiment of Tinkerbell & Zarina after all.

There were a thousand places that Elias would rather be than in Diagon Alley on a Saturday in the middle of the school holidays. Doing what Ezra had been roped into was a start but unfortunately this Greenwood had been cursed with being second born and those opportunities were only afforded to the eldest. Instead Eli had been awarded the great misfortune of accompanying his youngest siblings for their school supply shopping. How Evander had managed to misplace all his quills and use up all his parchment was beyond him considering the Gryffindor barely did any work but it was written on the list their mother had supplied to the Slytherin.
Somewhere between Weasleys’ and the Post Office, Vander had made himself scarce. Ordinarily Elias might have been concerned about the consequences of losing the twelve year old but he was pretty certain he’d seen him through the window of the joke shop and that its contents would keep the child entertained whilst he and Emelia continued doing what they were supposed to be doing.
Mostly expressionless as his long legs sauntered past the hordes of families, one eye keeping track of Lia’s whereabouts lest he lose BOTH twins in one day, the rising fourth year pushed the door open Madam Primpernelles as a reward for his sister having a brain.
…and there would be absolutely nothing in it for himself, no looking at hair potions or skin lotions..
“How much allowance did mum give you?” he asked, flicking his long bangs out of his eye and giving a customary glance at the hair enhancement display.
In Emelia's humble, yet insignificant within her circle, opinion, Elias was very lucky that he didn't have to spend the Summer holiday working for the family business. All Ezra brought home at the end of the day was a sad face, a loss of appetite and a quartet of tiny violins. The eldest Greenwood had seemingly left his smile behind at Hogwarts. Sad stuff. Which in turn made Lia sad. As for her third brother - the twin - Lia had no idea where he had got to. But that was not unusual and Elias seemed unconcerned, and so Lia was unconcerned.
She kept in step with Eli, glancing up at him occasionally. He looked so very different these days. The longer hair, the height, the nails, but he remained as expressionless and uncommunicative as ever. If she hadn't grown up with the boy, she might have found him intimidating, but to Lia, he was just Elias. If you left him alone, he left you alone – a lesson Evander had yet to learn.
Apparently she was being rewarded for good behaviour by being allowed to look around Pimpernelle's, which was, frankly, a little insulting considering Lia was acting as she always did. The sensible twin. The boring twin. Pah! She was wise enough to keep such things to herself, because she did, in fact, need a few supplies from the shop.
'Ten.' She stated as they entered the shop. She watched her brother, scrutinising him as he messed with his fringe. 'I need something to keep my hair out of my face when I'm on my broom. There's nothing worse than hair getting in your eyes.” And added, “As you know.”
HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more
If being rewarded for not being a thorn in his backside like Evander was was SUCH an insult to Emelia, Elias would have gladly marched the pair out of the shop and continued their quest for school supplies. It just so happened that the Slytherin had ulterior motives for the visit and he was tired of parenting a child with the inability to listen. The prospect of going back to school where he could shut himself away in the dungeons on the complete opposite of the castle.
No offence to his siblings or anything.
Being a Greenwood meant that their concept of money was completely skewed. Ten galleons sounded measly, Elias had seen his grandfather’s ledger book. “I don’t think they’d sell that in here” he responded, ignoring her comments about his fringe of which he was eying up the option of getting it trimmed but then remembering his mistrust of strangers. “It’s all hair enhancement potions and manicures” No he did NOT have his nails painted at this present time, he would be foolish to do such a thing when their grandfather was in such close proximity.
“Don’t take too long, I don’t want to be blamed for anything idiotic your twin gets up to when he’s out of my sight.”
