| | |  Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop
 Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop is the feather in Hogsmeade's hat -- literally! Conveniently located next to a school and having consistent business for most of the year, peeking through the windows of this shop will make it very obvious what this building houses. Various quills, parchments, and stationery sets are laid out on display, luring in any student that loves the smell of parchment, misplaced their favourite quill, or is looking to make doing homework fun.
After the bell dings following your entrance, the smell of paper fills your nose. After taking in another breath, though, a new smell registers in your mind. Is that the smell of ... cat litter? Looking down at the wooden floor, you likely will see some tuffs of fallen cat hair. Followed by the appearance of the shopkeeper, a series of meows follow that belong to the seven cats that 'help' her run the shop. Though the cats are friendly, they are prone to knocking over merchandise.

Today Edina stood at the doors to her shop instead of behind the counter as usual. She held one of her many kitty babies in her arms. “They should be here soon Truffles. You know that we’re always packed on Hogsmeade weekends.’’ Truffles mewed in agreement. The kitty gazed off into the distance as though it was already looking for the customers. Edina continued to talk to her precious baby. “I got in new stocks recently too. New notebooks, new colors of ink. The children are sure to love that.’’ Now she just needed to wait on them to visit the shop.

Emma was so excited to be in Hogmeade! Sure she'd been here a couple of times before with her aunt Dory, but this was her first time on her own. So which shop should she go to first? Ooh, this place looked pretty cool! The blonde Ilvermorny girl stepped inside, and...
Holy hairy babies, Batman! Look at all the kitties! She giggled a little when she saw all the cats in the shop. There was a lady (Edina) standing near the door holding yet another kitty. Hi, lady! Hi, kitty! Emma waved at the lady with the cat. "Hello," she said, smiling. "Are all these cats yours?" Because if they were, she just had to tell her how cute and fluffy they were!

"It seems they're arriving now Truffles,'' said the happy Edina. "Why yes dearie (Emma). They're all mine. My precious babies. Would you like to pat her? Truffles rather likes that.'' Edina offered the kitty. "She's well cared for so no need to worry about fleas or anything else.''

Emma smiled when the nice shopkeeper lady answered her question.
"I like your cats," she said. Well, actually she liked most creatures... except spiders. Because eww! "They're all so cute and fluffy!"
So the kitty's name was Truffles? That was a funny name! "is her name Truffles because she likes to eat chocolate truffles?" she asked. The blonde Thunderbird's eyes suddenly lit up. She could pet the kitty? Cool! "Could I? Thank you!"
Emma gave the cat a little pat on the head. "Hi, Truffles! I'm Emma," she said, continuing to pet the cat. "Ooh, you're so cute!"

Edina was in a flurry of smiles. It was so lovely to have someone who appreciated her kitty babies. "I try my best to take care of them dearie. Baths happen regularly even if they don't like the water. She doesn't like Truffles at all but one day I was talking to a friend about truffles and my precious baby mewed every time the word was mentioned.'' This was the story behind Truffles's name.
Truffles mewed. "She likes you too Emma.'' The cat mewed again. Her eyes closed when she was patted.

Emma smiled. She could tell the nice shopkeeper lady took great care of her kitties. The mention of baths made her giggle a little. "Yeah, my mom's cat doesn't like baths either," she said. Ooooh, so that was how Truffles got her name? Cool! "So she named herself then? Sound like a very smart kitty!" That made a lot more sense than a cat who like chocolate truffles!
Emma's smile grew even bigger when Truffles mewed and closed her eyes. So adorable! "Aww, sweet kitty!" She was glad to know Truffles liked her because making new animal friends was fun! After a few minutes of petting, she remembered what she was doing here and looked around the shop. "Are the other cats as friendly as Truffles?" she asked the shopkeeper.

“Most cats don’t but there are exceptions. Another one of mine named Beastie loves his baths. He takes more than any of my others.’’ Edina turned on the spot in full 360 degrees looking for Beastie but the pure black cat could not be seen anywhere. “I would introduce you dearie but I don’t know where he is.’’
“Truffles is smart.’’ Edina was proud of her babies and would like to think that all of them were smart. “Yes everyone of them that you see in here are friendly. Unfriendly kitties would be bad for business. Wait here. I’ll be back.’’
Edina went behind the counter. She returned with a Self Correcting Quill. “This is for being extra nice to Truffles. She really likes you. Be sure to stop by to see her often.’’

Having snapped her favourite quill through sheer frustration, Felicity was in desperate need of a new one. She preferred self inking ones, and perused the selection of them, noting how she'd had to rewrite her last Astronomy essay because she'd knocked an inkwell all over the parchment.
Clumsy + ink posts was clearly a recipe for disaster. After a few moments, however, the Fragranced Quills caught her eye. Or, rather, her nose - she'd never seen them before, and was lost amongst the pretty smells.

Here she was trying to slip in, get what she needed and get back to the castle relatively quickly... if she could. Ugh. So many people though. Dora tugged at her scarf as she muttered several 'pardon me's'. You'd think she'd be used to the crowds by now, but it was still a bit much.
Making her way to the quills first she paused a chewed at her bottom lip. Self inking or everlasting? Hmmm. But the pretty ones drew attention, didn't they? Her eyes moved over the girl standing there as she idly wondered if Sam would like a fragrance one.
" Excuse me... I just need to grab a couple of these, " she said quietly. Maybe Robin would like one also? But she wasn't going to barrel past the Slytherin (who looked vaguely familiar from classes). Manners.

Manners. The strawberry sure did smell amazing, and with it's bright pink color, Felicity just knew that her Dad would love it. Her other one would, too, she was sure, although he'd roll his eyes and joke about how typical Colin it was. She just knew that she had to get that one, and picked it up for a closer look when she was startled out of her thoughts by a voice.
"Oh, yeah, sorry," Felicity managed, taking a step back to allow the Gryffindor, who she was sure was a few years older, access to the Quills.

Dora smiled weakly at pretty girl and plucked up a few different Fragranced quills, two self inking, and one everlasting. JUST to be sure, ya know. JUST IN CASE. And then as an afterthought she grabbed a couple ink wells in varying colors. And yes it was being balanced precariously in her arms now.
" Umm... hey can I ask a favour? " she asked sheepishly. Certainly hadn't thought this all through, had she? " Could you grab me a basket to put thus in? Please. "

"Umm... hey can I ask a favour? " she asked sheepishly. Certainly hadn't thought this all through, had she? "Could you grab me a basket to put thus in? Please. " Deciding she didn't want to interrupt or prevent this girls - who she now realised was the Gryffindor female champion - shopping anymore, and that one fluffy pink strawberry-scented quill was enough, Felicity turned away to grab a couple of self inking quills. No sooner had she done that and a sheepish voice had her turning again, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
"Course," she said on her way to grab a basket, hurrying back and holding it out so the girl could drop her shopping into it. "You're Dora, right?"

"Course," she said on her way to grab a basket, hurrying back and holding it out so the girl could drop her shopping into it. "You're Dora, right?" Dora carefully dumped (was that a thing?) her things into the basket before holding her hand out to take it. " Thanks so much! I didn't really think that through, " she said with a chuckle. That was the Gryffindor way, no? Heh.
OH. Pretty girl from class knew her name! Nodding, Dora said, " Yeah. Dora Umbridge. And... don't hate me... but what's yours? I remember your face. I mean... how could I not? You're gorgeous, by the way, but I can't recall the name. " Oh merlin. Had she actually said everything that had popped into her head? She had been doing so much better about that. I mean, apparently not, but whatever.

I mean, apparently not, but whatever. "No problem, honest." Felicity smiled as she let the girl take the basket for her, wondering absent-mindedly why she needed so many quills. Although, looking down at the three in her own hand, maybe she would if she kept getting so annoyed with people. She shook the thoughts away, and blushed deeply and very awkwardly as the girl complimented her.
Did she need an eye test? Obviously Felicity wasn't naive enough to think that she was ugly, but 'gorgeous' was a few steps above her general opinion. "I... I... Thank you?" It came out like a question, followed by an awkward giggle. "I mean, I remember you because... Well, you're one of the champions and... And..." Really, Dora would have no reason to remember the American transfer student, lost in a sea of visitors. "I'm Felicity."
