Window Shopping(Alyson and anyone wishing to join)

[ardara13]

It was a warm Saturday morning when Rogue woke up in her London hotel room. It was just yesterday when she had arrived back from Hogwarts and her father and brother picked her up. Stretching, she sat up and looked at her older brother who slept on the bed across from her own.

She had missed him terribly over her year at Hogwarts and she greatly wished that he had the magic to go to school with her, but that would not happen. Their mother was a muggle and their father was a wizard. The odds of them both having magic was slim and Rogue was the one to take that road in life.

Silently getting out of bed, she got on her black tank top and jeans, pulling on her shoes afterwords. Walking over to Kyle's bed, she tryed to wake him up.

"Kyle, c'mon! Get ye lazy butt up!"

When he did not stir, Rogue let out a groan of frustration and went to her parent's room, where her father was waiting.

"Suppose you're wantin' to go to Diagon Alley then, eh?" he said with a smile.

Rogue simply nodded and waited as her father scribbled a small note addressed to her mother and brother.

As they walked down the streets of London, Rogue couldn't help noticing the city's youth. They were so free and yet it seemed strange to her that they should know nothing of the wizarding world and the people in it. After entering the leaky cauldron and then Diagon Alley from there, Rogue's father bid her farewell.

"I'll be in the Cauldron if yeh need me. Okay, lass? Have fun an' stay oot o' trouble."

"Okay, Dad, I'll try." she said, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

It had been ages since she had been to the Alley and desperately wanted to see the new merchandise. She found herself walking by Quality Quidditch, Flourish and Blotts, and finally at her favorite store Weaslys' Wizarding Wheezes. She definitely would need new stuff for the next school year.

Alyson quickly got out of her seat. Chev the driver passed her purse to her and smiled. " Miss Alyson I'll pick you up at 6:00. Don't be late." He said and drove of. She rolled her eyes. Looking at the Leaky Couldron she stepped in. It was dim in there and it took time for her eyes to ajust. The Bartender waved at her and she smiled.


She walked to the back and tapped some bricks and the passage way opened itself up to her. Tossing her blonde hair she slipped her sunglasses on. The silk green top sparkled in the dazzling sun light and she stepped into the magical world of Daigon Alley. Seeing a girl about her age near her favorite store. She skipped over with a smile speaking in her southern accent she bounced over " Hi. I'm Alyson wanna shop with me?" She asked.

[ardara13]

Rogue had her face pressed up against the glass window of the shop, looking extremely immature for a thirteen year old. When she heard a girls voice com from next to her, she looked to see who it was.

The girl looked about her age and she seemed friendly enough. It didn't really take long for Rogue to size her up, she would make a good shopping buddy. Smiling at Alyson, she extended her hand in polite greeting, words coming off the tip of her tongue with a slight Irish accent.

"Pleased to meet you, Alyson. The name's Rogue. It's not very often that I have a shopping buddy so of course I will accept."

Rogue smiled to herself, looking inside the shop and catching a glimpse of one of the Weasley twin's. SHe greatly admired them and often thought about working in their shop for a summer job, but that would have to wait until her sixth year as her father and mother often told her. Looking back at Alyson, she made a gesture with her thumb, ponting at the jokeshop.

"Wanna go inside and have a look? I've always enjoyed new pranks."

[pug]

Intruducing her self as Rogue. She pointed to go inside the joke shop. " Sure, By the way I'm goinng to call you Roggy." Alyson said with a small laugh.


( Sorry its really small, longer one next time)

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Stepping through the threshold to Diagon Alley Fiona took a deep breath. Finally some freedom from her parents. Of course the price seemed a little high. She had her first row with her parents right after she got off the Hogwarts Express for summer break. This last row went on for an hour, before Fiona finally stormed out of her uncle's manor and arriving in Diagon Alley. She wanted to do some shopping; take her mind off of the latest row about purebloods and who was better. She felt particularly rebellious at the moment and noticed two girls standing next to Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes. She liked the store and she felt like making her parents angrier. She walked up to the two girls and smiled.
"Hi, this is a great little shop isn't it? I'm Fiona by the way." Fiona nodded her head and extended her hand to the two girls.

[ardara13]

"Roggy? Yes, I guess I could use a new identity, it keeps the teachers busy by trying to figure out what name belongs to which student."

Though there was a joking tone in Rogue's voice, she did have a good point. During her previous years at Hogwarts, she had observed other trouble makers and soon found that, with another identity, they could do almost anything and never get caught.

Rogue's thoughts soon deminished as another girl approached the pair. She seemed rather nice and as she extended a hand in greeting, Rogue took it firmly in hers for a handshake.

"Rogue Weilds at your service. Nice to meet you, Fiona."

[pug]

Joking as well Alyson put on a innocent smile and a voice to match. " See I am handy. Roggy. The power to trick any teacher. Super cool , and super smart. And her friend The Amazing Allie. The power to out shop any one... oh forget it lets go in.


Then another girl came up and intruduced herself as Fiona. " Hi Fiona. I'm Alyson. How's it goinng?" She asked.

They stepped inside the crowed room. Alyson's eyes fell on the display rack and she went over and was looking things over at the conter the wonder twins waved over at her she was infact a regular custmor. " Hey you two." She said in a greeting and continued looking at the new merchindise.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona stepped inside the shop and took a deep breath. She had missed this place over the past year. She was a fan of the Puking Pastille and Skiving Snackboxes, anything really that could get her out of her boring classes; her classes just weren't challenging enough for her and so she began to skip them.

Moving around the semi-crowded store Fiona stopped in front of new items and some of her old favorite ones. She noticed a group of girls standing around the new love potions the Weasleys' had come up with.

She turned to Rogue and Alyson, "Love potions, do you really think they'll work? I mean after all they aren't the easiest potions to make." She smiled as she watched the group of girls talk excitedly over the guys they wanted to place it on.

Turning back to the shelves she looked closely at the fireworks that she had seen in her second year at Hogwarts. They were ingenious and she actually debated on buying some for old Filch to deal with or maybe her parents would like to deal with them. Fiona giggled to herself after a mental picture of her parents running after the fireworks trying to jinx them to stop. It was so tempting, but Fiona shook her head and turned to the others.

[ardara13]

Rogue walked into the shop and started looking at a shelf containing rows of Skiving Snackboxes, waving at the Weasley twins as she did so. She admired their work greatly and considered herself a huge fan. As Fiona mentioned the love potions, she shook her head.

"Nah, they probably work, but don't last long. I don't really like love potions. If a guy can't like you for you then there isn't a reason to like him."

She noticed a box of Canary creams and immediatley thought of a new sceme for the next year. 1st years were always willing to try new things, why not an unknown sweet? Grinning to herself, Rogue grabbed a few dungbombs and then proceeded to the register to pay.

[pug]

Alyson turned her head at the quetion. Rogue gave her opionion. " Yeah, they work. Try picturing this. Your in your room when a good friend of yours gives you a butterbeer and you take a sipe. It will work." Alyson said knowingly.


Been put under one before she giggled. She herself was happy. Her parents would return home saturday. Karen called and she made some new friends.


Glancing at her watch. She was suprised to learn they were there for at least an hour. Her stumuch rumbled. Bringing herself to the counter she told she wanted 14 galleons worth. The cashier asked of what Alyson smiled in a dangerious tone she said really sweetly. " Suprise me." The cashier begain to put toghter a bag.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona smiled at Rogue and Alyson's response to the love potions before turning back to the Skiving Snackboxes and Puking Pastilles. She grabbed several of each and then picked up a box of the Weasleys' fireworks. She would use a few to bother her parents and then use some to bother Filch, she laughed to herself. She grabbed a few more items to wreck mayhem in school and then proceeded to the counter.

Fiona ignored her parents comments about the Weasleys' and she smiled at Fred and George before paying for her items. Grabbing her bag she stood next to the door waiting for Rogue and Alyson to finish up.

She was kind of hungry, she hadn't eaten breakfast that morning due to the row with her parents. She counted the rest of her money and figured she had enough to buy some food. "Where do we go now?" Fiona asked Rogue and Alyson.

[pug]

Alyson smiled mischeivsly. " I have a couple of ideas. Like lrts start with Ice cream then go for a shopping spree. On me. Well on daddy. But who cares?" She said in a care free tone.

Her gaze fell on a guy who just stepped in. She pulled them behind a display. The guy looked around and stepped out.


Whispering she asked. " Is he gone?" Her eyes where closed and she was shivering.

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Alyson suggested ice cream after they finished in Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes. "Sounds good, I am a bit hungry." Fiona barely got the words out when the door opened to the shop and Alyson had grabbed her and pulled her behind a tall display shelf. Alyson hid behind the display shelf while using Fiona and Rogue as shields. Fiona felt a little annoyance to the fact she had been pulled away from the door so quickly. She wrestled her arm away from Alyson while watching the boy. He left quickly and Fiona heard Alyson ask if he was gone. "What was the big idea? Who was he? And why were ye hiding from him?" Fiona turned around and asked Alyson to her face; she wanted to know why things all of a sudden seemed to be so strange.

[pug]

Opening her eyes st Fiona's demand. She sighed. " Thats Drake. A family friend. He is mad at me. I kinda was suppose to go to a movie with him. But my cousin came with her friend and I forgot about him." She said in a unsure voice.
