It had been a long time coming, but Flourish and Blotts was finally re-opening. Dorcas, along with most of her colleagues, had been working flat out for the last few weeks making sure everything was ready. The books were all shelved, there were displays on every available surface, and just for today, the bookshop was decorated from floor to ceiling with pictures, balloons, flowers... everything that had ever been in a book was replicated somewhere in the shop. Looking around, most of the characters who had ever been in a book seemed to be represented too. Dorcas smiled as she watched a tiny Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum toddle past, their (probably muggle-born) mother dressed as Alice in Wonderland. A lot of people wouldn't get that one, she thought to herself, but then a lot of people didn't read quite so voraciously as Dorcas did.
Dorcas leaned against a book-case and took a look around. Either she would check out the costumes, or she would stop someone from getting sticky fingers all over a book without buying it.
