Summary: After a long day at work Darius decides to visit Diagon Alley.
The work week was over. Darius was relieved about this fact. Come Monday he'd have less than a month to go before he was back with his teammates, flying high above the Quidditch pitch they practiced at. This wasn't to say that Darius stayed off his broom during his suspension from the team. On the contrary, he practiced with them on the weekends. At first these practices weren't very intense, but as the year progressed they started to intensify for him because he wasn't playing in any of the games. His coach wanted to make sure he could hold his own in his position, especially once he returned on a permanent basis once more. When he saw that it was time to leave work, he did so happily. Today was one of the rare days which didn't require him to bring any paperwork home. As much as he wanted to celebrate this with a few drinks he decided against it and apparated to Diagon Alley instead.
He made his way over to Flourish and Blotts. Upon entering he sought out the manager because he needed to speak to him. "Do you have any idea of when my order will be in?"
"Your order should be in on Wednesday, Mr. Montague. You should try back then," the manager explained. It was obvious from the rushed way in which he replied that he was a busy man and even though Darius understood that it annoyed him that this man wasn't giving him the proper attention. He didn't push it though. Instead he politely said, "I hope you're right. I was told by an associate of yours that my order was going to be in today."
Darius excused himself and decided to browse the store. Maybe he would find something interesting to read that would take his mind off his order, his troubles and life in general.
