In Need of a New Broom ((Open to anyone))

[sisi]

Sisi sighed, staring into the window of Quality Quidditch Supplies in Diagon Alley. There it was. The firebolt. Still the fastest broom there is and she was dirt poor. It was a shame. She could have put that broom to very good use. She would have made the Quidditch team with that one. Another sigh and Sisi took up the tiny coin purse at her side, untieing from her belt. The visit to Diagon Alley was always a nice one for Sisi, she enjoyed going to see her mother and Madam Bissell, who practically raised her. Their small cafe was huddled right between Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, a favorite of Sisi's when she was younger, and also served as the lower floor of their home. Sisi had thought that it was time to pay her family a visit, and so she did. With this visit, she recieved a nice little allowence. This was rare and only happened when the cafe was doing really well business-wise.

Sisi smiled, with her new allowence, she could buy some new clothes at Madame Malkin's and a new broom. She walked into Quality Quidditch Supplies and made her way to Cleansweeps. The latest one was the Cleansweep 11. She studied the little description and the price. It wasn't bad, not bad at all. "Can go from nought to seventy in ten seconds" Sisi read from the little card and the handel was of Spanish Oak wood. Nice... very nice. Sisi smiled, taking up the broom and walking up to the counter. Time to buy, she thinks.

"This is it, thank you." She said to the man's question to try some new anti-burgalar alarms. Sicilia did bite her lip and think seriously about throwing in the anti-jinx varnish, but thought against it.

[Ashley Hill]

Ashley sighed silently as she wrapped her thumbs around the edge of her jean pockets. Elina was running a little late, as usual. For a girl who was so scheduled, she couldn’t make something without being five or so minutes late. There was one time when they almost missed the train back to Hogwarts over Christmas break. Though, that was also partially Ashley fault. She had put her things into the car early, waiting around the house as Elina triple checked that she had everything. Just as they were almost hallway to the train station, Ashley realized she left Tigger back at home. She felt so awful after that, but at least they still made the train. Tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, Ashley looked up into the sun scanning the streets. She was standing in front of Flourish and Blott’s, exactly in the spot where Elina told her sister to meet her. Ashley also had quite a few things she needed. One of which was a couple of new books for astronomy, money from Gringotts, and some new Quidditch gloves since her were finally beginning to tear apart. For some strange reason, she was also in the mood for some ice cream. Maybe Elina wouldn’t mind going to Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor. If not, then Ashley would just have to either beg her sister, or just wait until a time she could. Though, Ashley was prepared to put on her begging face.

“Ashley!” a familiar voice called as a slim figured rushed over toward her. Ashley smiled at her sister waiting for a reason that she was late. “I’m really sorry. There were so many people at the restaurant, and then Eliah wanted to talk about honeymoon arrangements.” Elina stopped, standing in front of her younger sister, looking beautiful as always. Her sister’s dark hair was pulled back into a messy bun, some strands falling into her blue eyes, and wearing the usual skirt with some pretty tank top. That was one thing Ashley envied about her sister. Elina got the brains and beauty of the family, while Ashley just got the athletics, and frizzy hair. “That’s alright, but you have to get me ice cream.” Elina just smiled nodding her head as they walked down the streets. “I have to get some stationary for the invitations. Then right back to work,” her sister said pushing the door open to the next store. “Elina you work yourself too hard. Ever thought of telling mom that you won’t work almost 24 hours of the day?” Ashley asked her brown eyes twinkling as her sister went over to a shelf with some pretty nice stationary. “No, because I’m going to be taking almost two weeks off for the honeymoon. Anyways, I like working.” Elina picked out a stationary showing it to Ashley who shook her head. “Where is Eliah anyway? Would her like a part of what the invitations look like?” Elina smiled shrugging as she looked through a stack. “He went right off to work after I left…How about these?” Ashley glanced over the card nodding her head. “Those look nice.”

They paid for the materials, Elina waling alongside Ashley to the Quidditch store. Stopping, she handed Ashley some money giving a pleading look. “I really have to go Ash. I’m sorry that we can’t get ice cream together.” Ashley smiled shrugging. “Don’t worry. I’m already getting sick of hearing all these wedding plans.” Elina frowned, deciding best not to press the matter. Hugging Ashley watched her sister turn the other direction, and until she was out of site, Ashley entered the Quidditch store. She went straight toward the rack which held all the gloves, picking out the best one. Taking her things over to the counter she waited behind another girl noticing that she was buying a broom. “A Cleansweep 11?” Ashley asked smiling as she set her things down on the counter to be paid for. “It’s a nice broom. What position do you play?” Handing the clerk his money she looked up from the counter. “I’m Ashley by the way.”

((Hope you don't mind I joined. ))

[sisi]

((OOC: Not at all!! ;D))

Sisi smiled at the man behind the counter, trying to be friendly, although all she wanted was to take her new broom out and give it a ride! The man, Sisi noticed, looked around 45 and wore his hair very long, which he pulled back into a pony tail. It was rare to see men like that around her and Sisi didn't think very much of the fashion. She waited, seemingly patient, although she was itching to get out of there. Finally, the man was ready to take her money and just as Sisi was handing over her money, a voice next to her startled her.

She jumped a bit, looking over at the owner of the voice with wide eyes. She relaxed, a smile coming to her face. An older girl that Sisi didn't recognize was standing next to her admiring her new broom. Sisi looked down at her feet when the girl asked what position she played. Sisi knew the girl meant Quidditch. She smiled at her when she introduced herself as Ashley.

"Sicilia. But everyone calls me Sisi." She introduced herself as well. Then she cleared her throat, taking her change from the man behind the counter, "I'm, uh, not on the Quidditch team, actually. I haven't made the team yet." She said yet with a determined look on her face and smiled again at the older girl.
