RP: Opening Shop Who: Ice, Rodolphus Where: Knockturn Alley, Borgin & Burke's When: Early evening, September 7, 2024 Rating/Warning: Smugness? Summary: Ice watches an eviction while minding her shop Status: Completed
Leaning against the counter, elbows braced on the glass, Ice watched the fuss across the row with some amusement. She'd rather been waiting for this, but that was entirely selfish on her part - she'd never liked that particular neighbor.
Though she supposed it might well turn out to be a case of better the devil you know - who know who, or what, would move in there now?
With the door to the shop open to invite potential customers, Ice was able to catch a word or two of the conversation. The pleading, the 'just one more week', the 'business has been slow', and faint amusement played through her eyes. Funny, she had no problem paying her bills on time. Perhaps he should have looked into a bit more advertising.
Pushing back from the counter, she moved around it to go stand nearer the door. They were really yelling now, so why shouldn't she go look?
