Thinking that he could always need new clothes Nathaniel wondered into the shop. Looking around he saw no other students in the store. Hmmm he thought.He had decided to get a dragon hide jacket, a pair of dragon hide gloves, a pair of earmuffs and some socks.

Sasha needed new robes as her old ones are getting smaller. "Boy, I need to cut down on those sweet..!"
She saw a couple of dress robes that she'd like to get her hands on but she knew she couldn't really afford the ones she wanted.

She walked towards the counter and approached the saleskeeper, "Hi there. Is there a purple dress robe? I can't seem to find any, "

Unsure really of why he was in Hogsmeade as he vividly remembered his last encounter with fudge and jelly slugs, Dominic made his way though the street once more. Gladrags Wizardwear seemed like it would be the perfect place to warm up from the chilly winter breeze; besides his captain insisted on him getting gloves, so he would do so in order pick out the ones HE wanted.

Whistling idly, the fourth year slipped his bare hands into his robe pockets and walked quietly around the store. Shopping was far from his favorite hobby.

Rapunzel had been browsing through the scarfs, trying to find a purple one that matched the exact color of her hat, when she heard the door of the shop open and close.

She poked her head up above the clothing rack, just enough for her green eyes to spot who had wandered in. Dominic Denton, is it? Punz smirked slightly to herself. Good to see him finally getting some gloves...

But why stop at the gloves? Suddenly inspired, Rapunzel whipped a fluffy, pink angora-ish scarf off the rack and sneaked up behind Dominic, quieter than a ninja.

She paused behind his head as he leaned to look at something, and then she pounced, tying the scarf over his head like a blindfold. Rapunzel was tempted to just let him able around blindfolded, but she was too much of a prankster to stop there.

"Mwahaha," she chuckled in a deep tone. "Guess who?"

Browsing around the glove department, Dominic had just about given up in hopes of finding a decent pair when his vision was suddenly obstructed. Oddly enough hadn't seen anyone else in the store, so why all of sudden did he feel scratchy yuckiness on his EYEBALLS! For the love of Merlin!

And that voice. Familiar, yet not. But who did he care who it was... he just wanted that bloody vision of his back and the scratchy feeling to dissipate. Hands instantly flying upward, they thrashed about to feel the person or thing blocking his vision.

Long hair. A female, no doubt. One of his fangirls perchance? Most likely.

Pulling at the long hair, Dominic murmured, "Who do I care who are!? Just get that bloody ... scratchy thinggg off of meeeee!"

Rapunzel was all set to let him go, but noooooo how could she have forgotten what a spoilsport Denton was? Just like him to ruin a prank and not even guess. She was about to declare something of this nature when she felt a sharp yank at the bottom of her head.

"YOWCH!" Punz hollered, trying to unwrap his fingers from her hair. I knew I should've just run away after tying it on....

"The stupid scarf is tied and it's gonna STAY that way till you let gooooo!" she whined, managing to disentagle one fistful of hair from his hand. The other stil hurrrrt though, and Punz actually felt little tears welling up in her eyes. "Seriously, you're hurting my head and my precious golden locks, which take a long time to brush, you know!"

Dominic was still gripping on the hair, in hopes that through yanking on a girl's most prized possession, she would agree to release the scratchiness. But nooo . . . this evil pransterrrr girly whatever had to just go and yelp at him perhaps attracting the attention of all other customers, not that there were many and perhaps even the shopkeepers.

Though that voice. It was.... NO! She wouldn't, would she? To her seeker?! But it totally sounded like that blondie badger. Without even realizing it, his grip loosened as he came to terms with who the mysterious evil witch wasss...

"The stupid scarf is the scratchiest thing EVER, and you willl tell me who you are or I'm not playing in the stupid quidditch game," Dominic bargained, determined not to give any hint of that he knew who she was. "And who cares about your so called 'precious locks'... you're ruining my EYES!"

Still wincing in pain as he deliberately TUGGED on her hair some more, Rapunzel pulled her foot back and was all set to give him a giant kick in the seat of his pants when AHA! Denton had given Punz enough slack in his hands that she was able to slip out of his stupid little grasp.

"NO!" Punz hissed, jumping back from the boy and nearly falling into a robe rack. She inspected the bottom of her hair; oh yeah, he was going to have some strands in his hands but OI! "Split endssss!" Punz moaned to herself. "No no noo....."

No WAY was she identifying herself to him now! "You know what," she spoke up, not bothering to disguise her voice anymore, "you'll just have to come and SEEK ME OUT if you ever want that scarf off. Hmmph." Punz stuck her nose up in the air, very proud of her little pun, and then walked right out of the shop, making sure that Denton heard the bell tinkle over the door as it fell shut.

Of course his little thread didn't seem to work as the next thing he knew, Rapunzel had slipped from his grasp. He'd lost the one thing he may have had going for him; her weakness.

"Oh PUH-LEASE..." he rolled his eyes from beneath the scratchy scarf at her moaning about split ends. Honestly, girls were just way to whiny for their own good. Seriously. Couldn't they like control their emotions ever?

Though his thoughts about emotions were intruded upon when Punz declared the challenge for him. Seek her out? OH . . . she thought she WAS clever, did she?! Well he was seeker for a reason and if he could do this blindfolded, then he could do anything, right? Of course right. Hearing the ding of the door close, Dominic gulped. Not in the shop? "Oh for realz!? You're INSANE!!" Dom exclaimed, whirling around as he felt his way to the door. He was not about to back down on a search . . . against a whiny female, no less.

If she was planning on playing Quidditch in the winter, she was going to need some darn thick gloves. Last time it was the main reason that she dropped the Quaffle. Stupid Stupid... Hufflepuffs. Yeah, blame it on the Huffies. It was entirely their fault that she had crashed head first into the goal. If she hadn't of been scoffing at the keeper... Oh wait, she was now blaming it on herself. One should never do that.

But wait.

Snorts. No way. That so was not the Huffie seeker. Blindfolded. It so was.

At this very moment in time, Alyss Jasmine Glass was in need of a sharp stick to poke him with. Just too annoy the boy slightly. Or maybe a lot. Though it would work better if she was a slight bit taller than 5 foot one inch. Stupid natural selection.

Pulling her jacket and scarf closer around her Nancy was still shivering from head to toe. Why did it have to be that cold?! Especially her ears felt like icicles that were just about to fall off, despite her hat and everything. Stupid winter! Brrr. Walking down the street of Hogsmeade Nancy finally spotted the shop which she had been searching for. Gladrags Wizardwear. She knew they had some amazingly warm earmuffs there which her ears would definitely thank her for. If they didn't fall off until she'd bought the earmuffs that is.

Not especially watching her steps Nancy headed straight for the door of the shop to quickly get inside, out of the cold when she almost bounced into...a blindfolded Dominic? Huh? Well, he deserved it anyhow, right? A smirk appeared on Nancy's face as she quickly slid past him into the shop along with another Slytherin girl.

Finally inside Nancy felt her body slowly heating up again and the blood rush back into her ears which made the tingle uncomfortably. Ew. She was never ever going to go outside in winter without the earmuffs she was going to buy now. Never. But where were they? Scanning the room her blue eyes finally spotted a whole bunch of earmuffs in every color she could have imagined. Blue. Pink. Red. Green. Whoa, that was going to be a hard decision.

Jack pushed open the door,out of breath,and panting a little.He did this every single time he came down to Hogsmead.He jogged.Odd yes but it was his way of keeping fit.He was here now in Wizardwear.He smirked to himself,another complete jog.He walked in and shut the door without a slam.

He needed a new Scarf.He hated shopping but he needed a new scarf because his owl,well he'd managed to fly off with it.Annoying he knew.

He passed a few girls and laughed a little at the sight of these eyes follow him as he passed.See Jack,Jack was a very good-looking young lad,but he didnt show it off,as much as he could help it anyway.He hadnt had alot of girlfriends,he didnt really want them,but he still like the attention.

He,being Jack,wasnt looking where he was going and bumped into a girl,smaller than him.He felt there shoulders connect and a shoot of pain ran down his left arm."Ouch"he said,rubbing his arm."Are you ok?"he asked the girl in a sort of moan

That really was a tough decision. The red one? Nah, it looked too Gryffindor-ish. The pink one? Too girlish. Hmm, but the green one was way too ugly, it wasn't a nice, Slytherin-ish sort of green, no it was some icky gross green. Ew. What about oran-

Nancy was unable to complete that thought since a guy had totally run into her. She heard the impact before she felt the actual pain inside her right shoulder. "Ouch!" A frown flashed across her face as she turned around, rubbing her shoulder with hand, to face the clumsy boy. "Hey, watch where you're going!" She hissed at the boy. Uh-oh. Okay, she was being mean again but her shoulder really hurt and he hadn't even apologized. Pushing her hair out of her eyes Nancy watched the boy rub his left arm. Well, at least he had been hurt a bit as well.

Rian walked in the store, glad to be out of the cold. She needed earmuffs. Badly. She made her way up to where she could see said earmuffs, and looked at their price.

Wow, she thought, I don't know if I have that much... she dug into her pockets, finding her money. She pulled out a handful of coins, counting them one by one, and hoping she had enough.

Oh no! I can't hold all of this! She groaned and dumped all of her coins back into her pocket. She rolled her eyes at herself, grabbed a pair of bronze earmuffs and headed up to the counter.

Xehanna walked into Gladrags. she walked over to the scarves section and looked at all of them before choosing the ones with stars on them. she reached up for them but she couldnt even touch the tip of the scarf. she stood in point and still couldnt reach. she looked around for someone tall to come and get this for her. "For the love of merlin! how am i going to stay warm if i cant reach it?" she said frustrated and embarassed. her eyes were now flashing between pink and black as she crossed her arms.

Suddenly turning from the gloves she'd been contemplating, Alyss's loyalties went immediatly to the younger Slytherin girl. Sure, she was the same height as the girl, but she had been told that she had something imposing about her. But, she didn't know anything about what had just gone one...

Oh well.

And she had a real good left hook, if things came down to that...

"Y'know, clumsyness is usually tagged onto Hufflepuffs." She sneered, pushing some of her long brown hair out of her eyes, "And bullying is usually placed apon us Slythies, and it obviously wasn't intelligent to bump into her, so, obvious Gryffie." Taking a step closer, she looked directly into his eyes and said darkly, her hazel eyes narrowing, "Try and be nicer to the younger students. Even if they're not in your house."

Then turning away from him as if he didn't exist, she smiled at the girl from her own house, "Are you alright? Or am I going to have to talk to him," She jerked a thumb at the Gyffindor, "Some more?"

Sapphire walked into Gladrags and looked around she was looking at a new scarf she looked round the shop and saw quite a few students she knew

Turning away with a surprised look on her face, still rubbing her shoulder, Nancy found herself face to face with another Slytherin girl. The one she'd walked into the shop with, to be more precise. A smirk crept across Nancy's face as she listened to the girl's words towards Clumsy-Boy. Well, nobody needed to know that she was just as clumsy as him most of the time, right? Nah, this was totally irrelevant now. Cough.

Watching the whole scene with a slight frown on her face, Nancy forced herself to turn that frown into a smile after some time. It was really nice of the girl to help her after all, even though, she didn't need anyone to fight her own fights. But it had still been nice of her. Furthermore, she was right about the things she said.

The smirk came back onto her face at the girl's question which was probably going to concern the boy's health if Nancy told her to talk to him some more. "Uhm...no, thank you. I guess that's enough." Nancy grinned at the girl and then added, "Thanks, by the way. You didn't need to do that, you know. Anyway, I'm Nancy."

Was it just her, or was her newest aquaintance feeling rather uncomfortable? Oh well, she was quite used to it. Although the last person who'd felt uncomfortable around her was... Actually in the shop.Xehenna wasn't it? And it had been when she'd thrown a spoon at Toussaint's face. Ugh. And he caught it. Her mood darkened for a few moments, then it flicked back to the cautious feeling she'd had before she'd threatened the Gyffindor.

"Well," Alyss returned, a answering grin creeping onto her smooth features, "Just making sure really, wouldn't want you going away feeling like you wanted to hit him...." Then, she paused for a moment, composing all the hyperactive/hyperaware emotions inside of her. "I'm Alyss." She replied, and almost did her old thing of telling Nancy how it was spelled. Sigh. So many people spelt it the usual way. No s's or any y's. Just plain old Alice.

Seeing the look on the girl's face Nancy was sort of glad she didn't tell her to talk to the Gryffie-boy some more. It would have probably ended...uhm, well not too well for the boy at least. He might have had his rather good-looking face damaged, no, it really was a good thing that Nancy hadn't let the girl procede. Phew. Although, it might have taught him a lesson and he wouldn't be running into people anymore in the near future. Especially into Slytherins. Duh.

Nancy chuckled at the girl's comment but didn't say anything concerning that matter, though. She never actually felt like hitting people, never. Nancy just wasn't the kind of person to do things like that, well, of course she had been annoyed with some people, but whatever. Furrowing her brow slightly at her' introduction Nancy tried to figure out what exactly her name was. It had sort of sounded like Alice the way she'd pronounced it but it sort of didn't at the same time. Something like Aliss...Alyss? "Oh, well, nice to meet you, Alyss." Out of the corner of her eyes Nancy noticed the earmuffs next to her which made a grin appear on her face. "Uhm, you know, I've got a problem. I wanted to buy a pair of earmuffs but I so don't know which color to take. Wanna help me decide?" Hopefully she was willing to, it was so much more fun not doing things on her own.

Miranda hurried inside the shop, hoping to get a bit warmer inside. It was getting colder now and she rubbed her hands together as she looked around. Hmmm... The shop seemed to only have robes and such, but no quidditch equimpment.
Maybe that had something at the back, she thought so Miranda decided to take a 'stroll' around the shop.
After a short while, and no quidditch equipment in sight, she decided to leave it be. For now.
"Ah well that's wonky..." she mumbled. She guessed she would have to order it by owl, ask her parents to please, pretty please buy her a pair and send it to her with their owl.

Miranda was warm now, and ready to face the cold, literally. Heading for the door and dodging a few robestands she had mysteriously missed, Miranda however didnt manage to dodge a solid mass now standing before her. Oompf. "Oh im sorry!" Miranda said slightly stunned.

Looking at the someone she had bumped, she saw it was Nancy.
"Nancy, hi!" Miranda grinned, she really liked that funny girl "So sorry about that" she said embarrassed.
