Daydreaming...
Date & Time: September 15 | Early evening Post Type: RP Status: Open: Public Character(s): Eloise Midgen and ??? Location: Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley Summary: Eloise spends time relaxing
Eloise finally closed the shop door of Two-Stitch Robes and leant against the glass in relief. Today had been unusually hectic in the shop, with new (or old really, seeing the state of some of the clothes) stock getting put onto the shop floor. The two old ladies, Magda and Pam, had finally given into Eloise's suggestion that maybe it was time the Summer clothes got taken down and the Winter ones be put out instead. The shop was as ancient as its owners, the wallpaper was turning a bit yellow towards the ceiling from Magda's pipe smoking habit and a mannequin's entire head had snapped off in her hand tonight as she tried to fit a shiny green waterproof hat on top of it.
Eloise took out the letter her Dad had owled her today. When her Mother moved out, Mark Midgen had thrown most of the magical stuff after her, but Eloise insisted on keeping Puck, the family owl for him to keep in touch when she was at work. The letter explained Mark would be watching the football tonight with "the lads", in their house. He knew how much she loathed the yelling and the testosterone and always warned her in advance. Tonight, she would be spending in the Leaky instead.
She was in a world of her own, and almost walked straight past the pub before darting in. Ordering her Cider, Eloise slipped into a far away table, pulling out a yellow and pink, half made scarf. She charmed it to begin knitting under the table and soon the repetitive motion had Eloise daydreaming once again...
