Alice had hoped that she would have been able to get out of work early today to do some shopping in Diagon Alley. But once she had gotten to work that morning, a completely full to overflowing inbox had greeted her and all thoughts of leaving early were completely destroyed. It looked like Thursday was going to be her only day to visit there. Plus to further irritate Alice, the newly assigned intern in the Auror department had been humming Celestina Warbeck all day. Alice hadn't been the biggest fan of Celestina to begin with and now thanks to the intern, it seemed like Celestina's entire repertoire of songs was stuck in Alice's head. Nothing she did was working to get the songs unstuck in her head. Hopefully supper with Andromeda would do the trick.

Finally signing the last of her paperwork with an (unnecessary) flourish, Alice dropped it in her outgoing box, waved good bye to Frank - who was heading into a meeting with the head of the Auror Department and Crouch, her poor husband - and made her way down to the Floo connected fireplaces in the Ministry atrium. Some moments later, she was stepping into Diagon Alley and making her way to the Leaky Cauldron.

Not seeing Andromeda in the main room, Alice stopped to say ‘hello’ to Tom (he always had the best gossip and bits of news floating around), and then made her way to an empty table that afforded Alice a view of the entire room.
