Where: Flourish and Blotts
When: 3rd March, afternoon
Rating: SFW probably
Bryony's rarely used ink on her calendar - why should she, when she always had a pencil to hand for sketching? Today, though, she'd carefully inked the word 'SHOPPING' all the way across the square for March 3rd in violet ink. Allegra's birthday was on Saturday which meant Bryony needed a new robe (or at least to adjust the fit of one of her owned robes), a haircut and - worst of all - a present. Bryony never knew what to buy for any of her siblings. Rowan had a job and her supposed ignorance of Quidditch meant she couldn't exactly buy him the best new equipment on the market. Allegra and Shauna often went shopping together, or with Iris, and saw money as no object. Bryony, whose taste they'd always roundly dismissed, had no hope of finding them something they couldn't find for themselves.
Knowing in her heart that she was really just putting off the worst of the expedition, Bryony went straight from the hair salon to Flourish and Blotts. The chances of her finding a book Allegra would be interested in were barely a point above absolute zero, but looking around the stacked shelves and rare manuscripts was both more pleasurable and less intimidating than trawling the rest of Diagon Alley. For once, Bryony kept away from the art section. There would be nothing for Allegra in there and she knew she could get lost for hours looking at books on new or ancient art styles. Instead she situated herself by the shelf of new releases. Not fiction, Allegra would deem that a waste of time, but perhaps there'd be a book on fashion or jewellery or... something.
