Who: Verity, Parvati and some NPC bad guys... When: Sunday Morning Where: Madame Malkins and the alleyway behind the shop What: START OF A PLOT!
It'd been a long week. George was gone on holiday with Audrey, so he'd missed Verity's birthday. She was a little sad about it, but knew that Aud and George were having a wonderful time. It didn't really matter to her about one silly birthday. But what did bother her was that something had gone... funny... with her dinner with Oliver. She didn't know what happened, just that things seemed to take a weird turn. And now she just felt awkward about it. And the idea that she was back in touch with Rob was even more confusing. She'd sort of been avoiding him after she sent that owl. And she had a feeling that Oliver was avoiding her.
She had to take a few minutes off of work so she could hop over to Madame Malkins Dress Shop to pick up some robes for that silly Quidditch thing her dad was dragging her to. The shop only had a couple customers in it, so Verity didn't mind waiting. Until another person came into the shop. Another person that Verity recognized right away, and who would definitely recognize Verity. There was a man who had been stalking her mother, a crazy, crazed fan... and Celestina had to put a restraining order on him to keep him away from her. Verity didn't want to have to deal with all of that today, so she ducked into the back room to avoid him.
Now, Ver had never been in the back room at Madame Malkins before, and she decided to take the opportunity to go explore. She wandered back toward the alley, and paused when she heard footsteps. Maybe Madame Malkin's employee was working back here?
