Who: Eloise Midgen and Open What: Getting back on her magical feet Where: Knockturn Alley When: 4 December 1998 - late evening Rating: PG (for now)
Eloise ran her fingers lightly along the stone wall as she turned the corner off cheery, brightly lit Diagon Alley and down the dark, sort of dank that permeated Knockturn Alley. Her brand new dark purple robes billowed out behind her and she let a tiny giggle escape, thinking about what her father might say if he knew his daughter's exact whereabouts. It wasn't as if Eloise had gone all dark wizard or something, but she wanted only the best ingredients to stock her potions stores and knew this was the best place to get them.
So far, Eloise had spent almost every waking minute of her triumphant return to the wizarding world burning a hole into her inheritance (Her father thought he could hide that from her, did he? He!) and trying hard not to dwell on the fact that nobody, so far, had really noticed that she had returned, let alone been gone at all. Everyone seemed far too preoccupied with rebuilding the shambles of a community that had clearly been through hell and back.
Eloise reached into her pocket and drew out the list of ingredients she was most interested in obtaining. Now, which shop would be best?
