There was something perverse, Padma thought, about the fact that the Diagon Alley area locksmith was down the wizarding world's most notorious street. She walked down Knockturn Alley with her head up, determined not to look scared, aware that only made her more vulnerable. It wasn't as bad as it had once been, but Padma still felt her skin prickle as she walked past Borgin & Burke's. The goods displayed in the window might be legal (Padma doubted it) but they were still undeniably creepy. Fortunately, Trackleshanks was just across the road, and Padma eagerly crossed, hoping that a legitimate business might be more welcoming. To her dismay, the darkened shop front was anything but welcoming and she had to light her wand just to read the notice that told her who to contact outside of working hours.
The note she attached to the emergency owl was short, just letting whichever Trackleshanks employee was on duty that she was waiting outside the shop and lived within walking distance. Padma hoped they wouldn't take long, because standing alone on Knockturn Alley in the dark was, if possible, even worse than walking along Knockturn Alley in the dark. The undertaker's on the other side of Trackleshanks was the kind of place Padma imagined would be haunted by spirits even meaner and more unpleasant than the Bloody Baron, so she edged closer to the closed Beard Trimmers'. When someone popped into existence almost right in front of her, Padma couldn't stifle a shriek, her heart racing and her palms suddenly cold with sweat. "Who are you?" she demanded, just in case it wasn't the employee she was waiting for.
