Sky stood before an old brick building that had a small sign that said "Rowe's Muggle Shop" . She wore her school uniform, (White dress shirt, pants, black shoes, and a Gryffindor cloak.) with her black hair hanging down past her shoulders. She held a piece of paper that had directions scribbled on it that explained how to get here from Hogsmeade. Sky looked up at the building. It looked pretty old. There was some vines growing onto the building due to the building being placed by the woods. She walked up the the door. A sign read "OPEN" and she quietly walked in.
The shop was full of many muggle objects, all crammed in boxes and on the shelves. She looked around for the owner or a worker. "Er...hello?" Sky called.
((can I somehow join this....))
((Sure thing.))
(('kay thanks you have a plan for this or is this just going to be plain RPing....))
Alex walked out Hogwarts in a pair of old jeans and green hoodie. Alex aimlessly walked to nowhere specifically but bumped into a brick building with a old creaking sign that said "Rowe's Muggle Shop." He shrugged and decided to walk in and look around.
((Not really. Just something to do.))
Sky heard someone walk in and turned to see Alex. She smiled and waved. Finally the owner walked out from the back of the room, Mr.Rowe himself. He was a short old man with short white hair and small glasses. He wore a grey t-shirt and old pants with paint stains on them. "What can I do for ya?" He asked. Sky sighed. "Do you sell Guitars here?" The man smiled and walked to the back of the room. He came back with two guitars. One was a black acoustic guitar and the other was a red electric Les Paul (Think thats the name). Sky pointed at the black one, instantly falling in love with it. "That'll be 400 Galleons." The man said. She handed him a sack of coins. He weighed it on a scale and smiled. "Thats a nice guitar. Enjoy it kid."
Jessie walked through the forest and saw a brick building in the distance. *That's strange.... I don't remember seeing that before...* She muttered to herself walking towards it. It was a muggle shop and she walked inside to look around. She saw Sky and Alex there and smile and waved at them. She saw Sky's beautiful guitar and said, *Nice guitar!* She looked around, but couldn't decide if she wanted anything.
Sky's smile resembled one of a child who had an unlimited shopping spree at a candy store. "Thanks! Wow...it's a beauty." She skimmed her hand along the strings.
((I wish I played Guitar. I want my violin back too. :P))
Jessie walked over to the man and said, *Is that the only guitar you've got?*
The man shook his head. "Oh no. I've got a few more in the back. But they need worked on." He said before coughing a bit.
Jessie nodded and then said, *I have a cough drop in my bag if you want it.* She thought about the guitars and added, *Oh and could I look at the guitars that still need work?*
The man shook his head at the cough drop offer and made a gesture for her to go to the back.
Jessie walked through to the back and said to the man, *I think I'm looking for an electric guitar, if that narrows it down for you.*
The man pointed to a small stack of boxes. "There's a few in there. A few different colors but all priced the same. Gently used." He said, motioning for her to check them out.
Jessie pulled out an electric guitar that was midnight blue. It needed some polish and didn't have a strap, but Jessie had some polish and could fix it up. *I'll take this one!* She said.
"400 Galleons." The man said.
"Wow Jessie. Thats a nice guitar. It suits you."
Jessie handed the man the money and said thank you, before sating to Sky, *Actually it's not for me. It's for Leah. She doesn't play, but she was going to teach herself. I don't have a guitar, but I think I might get one for myself later on.*
"Oh." Sky said. "Well that was really nice of you."
Alex saw Sky and Jessie and waved. "Hey guys."
Jessie waved at Alex. *Hi Alex!* She said, walking into the main part of the shop.
Sky waved. "Hi Alex. I'm sorry to say I must go now." She hung the guitar strap over her shoulder so the guitar was on her back. "Bye Jessie..Alex" She said and walked out the door.
Albus was inside the store, looking at some tennis rackets and some instrumements.
He had started tennis, and he had played a cornet before he had come to Hogwart, and he wanted to buy a new one because he had sold his old one. Then, he heard some familiar voices, and looked out from the shelves he had been hiding himself behind. He saw Sky, Alex and Jessie stand there.
Sky was leaving but before she was out of the door, he said outloud," Wait Sky!"
Sky turned around quickly when she heard the voice. "Hey Albus!" She said when she saw him.
Albus noticed Alex and Jessie to and said a little "HI" to them before he turned to Sky.
He knew he had the time to talk with them later. Then, he walked to the door, and said, " Just wanted to say hi. HI! buh-bye then!" A big grin covered his face while he waved at her.
Jessie glanced over at Alex. ~What was the point of that?~ She thought to him.
Mira walked into the store almost coliding with Sky, "Um... hi Sky." She said picking herself up off the ground while laughing.
Jessie laughed and said, *You always were very coordinated Mira!*
"Oh!" Stacy let out a sound of surprise. "I didn`t know all of you were here. I was, I am just looking for some guitar strings." Stacy nodded in the direction of the two people with guitars. "I broke a few."
Jessie smiled and said, *I think they're over there!* She pointed to an area of the store that had lots of musical stuff in it.
"Ok, thanks." Stacey walked over to where so had pointed.
Alex stiffled his laughter at Mira's clumsiness. "So why are you here for Jessie?"
*I'm actually getting a guitar for Leah. But now that I see how much I like it... she might have to share!* Jessie said with a laugh.
"So are you all getting guitars?" Stacey said.
Jessie looked around and said, *Mostly yes!*
"Ok, cool."
*Yeah pretty much!* Jessie said, laughing.
Mira had gotten up and was now walking into the store. She saw a small stuffed animal dog that looked like a wolf pup. "OOhh!!! That reminded me why I was here! Does anyone want to run to t the pet shop right across the street with me???"
"Sure." Stacey said, glad to have a reason to get out of the now cramped store.
Mira smiled happily and ran out of the store crossing the busy street. She ran into the pet store and straight to the counter. "Uhm... Sir?" She asked, but as the person turned around she saw it was a woman! "Woah! I mean ma'am! Ma'am, this is probably not what you hear everyday, but do you have any... wolf pups?" Mira asked after her mild shock. The woman nodded gruffly and said. "We have 3 in the store. Over there, in the corner." SHe said motioning to the corner of the store. Mira ran over and her gaze landed on a white pup with blue eyes, a reddish brown pup with amber eyes, and a gray pup with yellow eyes.
Stacey followed Mira and knelt down next to the box. Her mom was a wolf animagus. "Oh my gosh!" Stacey instantly fell in love with the wolf pup with amber eyes. She gently held out her hand. She knew a lot about wolf language. She started to pet the pup. "Mira, which one do you like?"
"I'm going to get them all." Mira announced. "I've saved up for forever and I have a perfectly safe place penned out in the forbidden forest for them. They're actually partially for Jackie." She bent down and the white one bounced up to her.
"Oh." Stacey could hide her true feelings very well, but this was just hard. "Jakie will really like them." She said happily smiling.
"Yeah. But not just for Jackie, for everyone I give a key to. I have keys that unlock the pen. But the pen is invisible to anyone without a key." Mira added, tossing Stacey a glimmering silver key.
Stacey was imensly happy, she didn`t know how to thank her. "I... tha... thank you." Stacey said, staring at the key. "I... I can... I can train them, if you want. I know a lot about wolves and their body language."
"Cool! Since I'm an Anigmus I guess I could be somewhat of a substitute leader figure to them in my dog form." Mira added happily accepting Stacey's offer.
"Yea, you could be the Alpha Female. Everybody else can be Beta wolves, that means you would be in charge, and we would have to listen to you."
"Mhm. I know a bit about wolf behavior myself." (Seriously I had to do a bit of reasearch for my wolf based fan fic.) Mira said. She then picked up all the wolf pup cages and brought them to the counter. "Excuse me? I'd like to take all of them. Do you have any reccomended toys or anything?" She asked.
"Uhm..." The clerk said as she fumbled around. "Hold on." SHe said bustling into the back of the room. She came back out in a minute with a couple of what looked liked hard bouncy balls and a really long tug of war rope. "Here, they're extra sturdy and withstand a lot of pressure. Oh, and I'm still bottle feeding these pups, they were rescue wolves. Found alone in the forest, no mom. So here is the formula and you feed them twice a day, an entire bottle each feed." She said adding two bottles to the counter. "But gradually introduce them to meat. Ok?"
Mira's head was spinning. "Allright." She said knowing she and Jackie would need Stacey's help. She might be able to get hold of Sirius too. He was an anigmus dog also. Mira was snapped out of her thoughts and put the money on the counter as the lady bagged everything up.
Stacey watched Mira pay. "Umm, excuse me, are you sure there aren`t any more in the back?" Stacey had often been in the shop.
"Well, there are two in the back." the clerk stated to walk to the back room and Stacey followed. "Here they are." The woman pointed to a pen where the two pups where. "We`re not supposed to sell them until they`re eight weeks old, but these guys won`t be that old until tomorrow. But I kow you, so you can have them."
Stacey stepped into the pen and got down on her hands and knees. One of the pups was red and gray mix with amber eyes, and the other was white with pinkish eyes, an albino. Stacey pet the red and gray pup and she pinched its ear gently. Stacey had learned a lot about wolves since her mother was a wolf animagus. Stacey stood and picked up the red and gray pup. "I would like to buy this one please." She walked back to the front desk and payed. She looked at Mira, pup in arm.
"I'll pay for the Albino pup also then." Mira said sliding across a bit of extra money. "Stacey, you're going to keep your pup with all the others right?" Mira inquired looking back at Stacey.
Stacey didn`t know what to say, she hadn`t decided yet. "Um, if you want me to, but I don`t care where I keep her." Stacey said, scratching behind the pups ears.
"Well, you decide. The offers always up." MIra said grabbing all her things and two pups under each arm.
"Here, let me help." Stacey waved her wand and a rolling kennel appeared. "We can put them all in here."
"Cool, thanks." Said Mira loading each of the pups in. She closed the kennel door, and started to wheel it out of the door. "Hey meet me in the forest later!" She said to Stacey. (For real, meet MIra in the FOREST board in the topic WOLF PUPS ok?)
Stacey stood a moment while Mira left. Forest, when? She took out the small, silver key, shifting the wolf pup in her arms. The key was like a normal key, but had an engraving of o shell on it. Why? She didn`t know. She put the key away and looked at the puppy. As she walked out of the door, she thought to herself. 'I`m going to name you Deshka.' She walked in the direction of the school.
Mira looked at all of the pups she had gotten one by one, with names flying through her head. "Hm... Misty...Birch...Angel...and River." Mira nodded as to assure herself that they were good names.
Jessie saw Mira walk out of the store with wolf pups and she followed her into the forest.
MIra started to walk further off into the forest, but stopped, whirling around when she heard loud footsteps behind her. "Whah!" She yelled turning into Angel and jumping on the person pinning them down. She soon realized it was Jessie though. She turned back into Mira and got off of Jessie. *Sigh* "You never were good at sneaking up on me." She teased. "You were always the one to just run straight at me and fly into my face."
Jessie raised her eyebrows. *You never were one to know what I'm doing. I'm simply folowing. Not sneaking. There is a huge difference girl and it's my style to fly through the air... it's what I do!* She said, snapping her fingers and moving her head from side to side.
"So is it also your style to happen to run into things in the middle of that flying?" Mira said laughing a bit. SHe turned back to the wolf pups. "Well, I should go... I have to take care of these." She said smiling.
(This can be continued in wolf pups) kk?) ;D)
*Oh can I help!* Jessie said, looking at the adorable pups.
"Um... Just meet me in the forest later today in this clearing." Mira said handing Jessie a piece of paper, on which was a map with a clearing circled.
Jessie nodded and said, *OK I have homework to do anyways.* She took the paper and went back to her room.
Mira nodded and turned running off into the woods.
Jessie walked into the common room and grabbed her bookbag. She dumped out it's contents onto her bed. She took the empty bag an walked down to the library. She ran to the back of the library and down the row labeled W She grabbed all of the books that said something about wolves in the title and stuffed them in her bag. When her bag was full, she took about 5 more and stacked them. She carried them in her hands back to the common room.
Jessie ran to her room, leaving the books on the coffee table in the common room. She grabbed a notebook and pen and went back downstairs. She stacked all of the books. There were so many that she made two stacks, in fear that one would tip. She grabbed a book off the top and flipped to the index. Her finger ran down each page. P... P... Pups! She turned to the page that was listd and began to read, taking notes.
