RP: Meanwhile, at Flourish & Blotts... Who: Jack Fallon, anyone else? Where: Flourish & Blotts When: October 21 Rating/Warnings: Summary: Jack goes book shopping; this can only end in buyers remorse.
Jack had apparated to Diagon Alley after his last lesson of the day, wrapped thickly in a traveling cloak against the colder wind of Hogwarts, he un-draped the material almost immediately, leaving it open for a bracing breeze to hit him. Feeling more awake - lessons sometimes left him feeling dull and useless - he made his way down the Alley toward the book store. There was some research he wanted to finish up, but was missing a particular volume for (a newer one, oddly enough, and so the library at the castle hadn't stocked it yet), and so he'd hoped he could get in and get out quickly for once.
Stepping into the main room of Flourish & Blotts, Jack couldn't help the deep breath he took - ah, bookstores. Moving first to the new releases section to see if they'd gotten in Phyllida Spore's latest yet, he was glad to find it right away. Turning to the till, however, he found himself staring at a new volume of herb properties research and from there wandered toward the advanced wand maker literature just for the fun of it. All relevant to his work, of course, he told himself.
Before he knew it an hour had passed and he'd missed dinner at the castle. Well, no need to rush home then, he thought, and instead continued looking and decided he'd grab a pint at the Leaky before bothering with the school once more.
