Who: Penelope Clearwater and Kirley Duke When: Afternoon of January 22nd Where: Streets Diagon Alley to start What: Random encounter while shopping Status/Rating: Closed/PG at most?
Penny pulled her scarf tighter around her neck and adjusted the hat on her head. It wasn't particularly cold outside, but the scarfs and hats helped to conceal her identity some. Of course she wasn't famous but she was well known enough that she had to be careful because people were familiar with her status as a muggleborn. The reports of disappearances and stuff were just to real for her to pretend she wasn't in any kind of danger any longer.
It was this reason that she was out shopping in the first place. She needed a few things before she retreated for a while in the safety of her friend's houses. There were places she could hide and feel safe but it didn't mean that she wouldn't need stuff like potion supplies (as she was still practicing as a healer) and her puppy needed food and treats. Penny wasn't comfortable enough asking others to do her shopping for her yet, she just promised herself she would be careful.
It was walking down the street she recognized a familiar face, Kirley. It had been a while since she had saw him so she couldn't help but stop and say hello. It was a relief to see a friendly face as well.
"Hey stranger." Penny told him with a grin as she walked up from behind him, careful not to scare him. "Whatcha looking at?" She tried to glance over his shoulder and see what he was looking at.
