Summary: Jennifer gets the keys to the shop and begins organizing
Status:Complete
She arrived at the estate agent's office first thing that morning, eager to get the key to the shop that was now rightfully hers. Jennifer had to wait twenty minutes as the agent was running late, and her temperament changed from eager to annoyed while she had to sign several parchments of release forms. She also didn't like how the agent kept staring at her - or more specifically, the scar on her face. But she said nothing - she just wanted the keys and the wards released on the shop so she could do what was necessary to run the business again.
At a café in Diagon Alley, Jennifer bought a take-away coffee and made her way to the shady offshoot that was Knockturn Alley. She walked with a confidence she really didn't have on the cobbled alley, passing different shops with dark windows. Jennifer didn't meet anyone's eyes and ignored curious stares that looked up at the sound of her footsteps.
She reached 13B and the windows of the building were just as dark and dusty. The sign above the shop would need some repair, or replacement all together. As she jiggled the key in the door, Jennifer hoped that the place hadn't been looted - though the estate agent assured her everything was there and tightly locked up.
Inside the shop smelled dank and musty and Jennifer could tell that there was probably a leak in the roof somewhere that needed mending. She sneezed as dust tickled her nose and carefully closing the door behind her, looked around wondering where she should start.
