RP: Foggy London Town Date & Time: Dec. 27, 2002 | Early evening Post Type: RP Status: Open: Public Character(s): Katie Bell, open Location: Diagon Alley Summary: Katie does a bit of post-Holiday shopping.
Katie wrapped her coat more tightly around herself to ward off the rain. The fog lay like a thick blanket on Diagon Alley and while it was very pretty and spooky, it made it a pain in the arse for getting about quickly.
Christmas at the Bell house had not been its usual, spirited affair. Johann felt responsible for Elena Vickers' death because the wards had either been tampered with or one of the employees or performers he'd hired was a killer. It had been a somber holiday and Katie's grandparents, who normally stayed through until after the New Year, had returned to Italy. Katie herself had returned to Hogsmeade at her mother's request. She didn't have much to do there, so she mostly amused herself with Felix and Hubert and ate lots of chocolate.
Deciding that she needed a break from her flat and her beloved kitties, Katie ventured out to Diagon Alley to exchange a few things (Her brother always bought her jumpers that were too big on her) and browse the post-Holiday sales. It was getting dark and Katie thought about grabbing a bite to eat or at least a nice hot cup of tea before she headed home to Hogsmeade.
