Susan walked quickly down Monument Alley, still in her work clothes. She'd been eyeing off Inside and Out for a while, and a conversation with Auror Proudfoot that morning had led her to decide that it was time to buy herself a few more charmed items for her home and person. She entered the store, looking around with interest at the vast array of interesting items on display - both commonplace and exotic. Her fingers twitched, aching to examine everything. She walked past a tent and stuck her head in quickly, taking a moment to appreciate the fine charmsmanship that had gone into the details on the inside.

"Hello," she called out, the echo of her voice in the store making her wince. "Oh hello, sorry! Susan Bones, I'm here to talk about some custom made charmed furniture?"

Susan shrugged with an appalling lack of concern for the declaration of guilt. "Don't expect me to do anything about it," she said with a smile. "It's not like I didn't kill people in the battle either," she said evenly. "I killed almost every person that was present for my Aunt's death. 'Cept Riddle of course, but I figure Harry killing him was an okay substitute." She decided, rather irrationally perhaps that she liked the woman in front of her. She was simultaneously damaged and incredibly strong, and Susan tended to collect people who fitted into that rather particular category.

"That sounds perfect," she said with a smile and a wave of her hand. "I can always change things up if I need to, and really it's something that just needs basic functions. I don't need a palace to stay the night in the woods."

She watched as Pandora meticulously examined her bag, feeling her lips tug happily. "It isn't at that, I've seem some horrible jobs done with dragonhide jackets," she said with a shudder. Many young aurors inevitably went through a stage of wearing dragonhide jackets to work in an effort to look cool and dangerous. Admittedly, Susan owned several, but she'd never worn them to work, and had placed the extension charms in the pockets with a great deal more finesse than some of the ones she'd seen paraded around the Ministry. "That's lovely of you," she said. "I'll have to remember to add a tip for excellent service," she added, smiling. "Speaking of, how much do I owe?"

"Good on you," Pandora said. She could completely understand revenge; she'd been a vengeful, vindictive sort of girl even before she'd been pressed into service by the Death Eaters. There were more deaths on the tip of her tongue, but her wariness held out; she didn't want to be tricked, and she really didn't know Susan.

Her lips curved up faintly. "Well, some people think they do need a palace. I have this one order in the queue... you have no idea." It was going to take her a lot of time and effort to get it done to specification.

"Dragonhide doesn't take spellwork well, but repels it. If you force it, it doesn't look right and it loses some of its best qualities," Pandora said automatically. "You have to charm the fabric in the pockets and lining separately, and then sew them into the coat, which is why it should be done in process rather than after the fact. Though if you're careful, as you say, you can do the pockets effectively enough. They're great for dueling though. My dueling robes are lined with dragonhide, for the spell repelling qualities."

"That isn't needed, but I'm here to help," she said. "Let's just go over here and I'll tally it for you." She went behind the counter, made a reference to a catalog, checked a few other things with quick efficiency and the wave of a hand to magic things back, then calculated it all out, naming the sum, which though high wasn't unreasonable for everything that had been purchased. "It'll take a day to put all the furniture in the tent, too," she added belatedly. "But I can get someone to deliver it for you."

"Indeed," Susan agreed with an incline of her head, before smiling slightly. Having decided that she liked Pandora, the logical next step was to make friends with the woman. Or at least, that was the logical next step for a Hufflepuff, and really that was more than enough for Susan to be getting on with. "Good for you as well."

She rolled her eyes and sight wearily. "I know the type. The whole my wand is bigger than your wand type thing, get's a bit exhausting really."

Susan nodded and grinned toothily. "Precisely, you either make do without spelled pockets or specifically buy a jacket with non-hide pockets, which are deeply useful."

"That should be fine," Susan said almost absently. Reaching into her pocket and pulling out a purse and counting out the money quickly. "That'll be perfect, thank you," she said with a genuine smile. "I hope to see you again."

	Pandora finished the transaction efficiently, putting the coins into the magical lockbox under the counter. "No, thank you, Susan," she said, smile edged with something that could almost be friendly warmth. "Do come back anytime." (Reply to this) (Parent)
