Diagon Alley Shopping
Who: Hans Erwan, Tristan Moore
When: August 22, 2020 - afternoon.
Where: Diagon Alley, Apothecary
Status: Complete
Summary: Hans heads out to Diagon Alley to get his school shopping out of the way. First up is the apothecary where Hans immediately regrets his heightened sense of smell. Tristan roams over to have a chat and teach him the fine art of picking out working ingredients for potions. The two joke around a bit more before Hans finally decides to move off and finish up his shopping.

Han took a deep breath through his nose before tapping the appropriate blocks on the stone wall behind the Leakey Cauldron. As the passage into Diagon Alley appeared, he relaxed a little, feeling less tense than he had ever since the distraction of the last Tri-Wizard task had ended.

He couldn’t begin to explain how freeing it was to step back into an obviously magical environment. This was the longest time he had ever spent around the muggle population – he still didn’t know how he was supposed to act around them. Luckily, his thick accent had acted as enough of an explanation for his strange behavior to most muggles.

Shaking that thought off, Hans struck out down the street, making straight for the apothecary first. He had struggled a bit deciphering the letter from Hogwarts (something he took as a bad sign), but from what he could gather, he would need to buy several different ingredients for the Potions class this term.

The blond wrinkled his nose as he stepped into the shop and the strength of the smell hit him.

Had it always smelled so terrible, or was it some side effect of the lycanthropy? Perhaps the warmer air of Britain caused the ingredients to have a stronger odor…?

Whichever it was, Hans stood awkwardly in the door for a moment with his arm lifted to cover his nose in a vain attempt to block the smell.

"Right." Tris slid one of the piles of bay-tree leaves toward him, if he was on his way out. "It was good seeing you again, and best of luck stalking me at Hogwarts. Lan will probably be very put-out, since that's his job at the moment, but perhaps I can distract him away with a girl."

He paused. "Or by running interference against Madison while I'm setting up pranks she won't approve of."

Which made him pause. "Did you get sorted yet? Or are you going to have to stand up there with all the firsties?"

Hans made a face as he scooped the leaves up. "I vos planning to ask that in my next Owl. I vould hope I von't be made to stand. It seems... demeaning."

That wasn't the actual word he was looking for, but it was close enough. It wouldn't bother Hans to stand in front of the Great Hall at all... it was just the idea of standing up there with first years.

"I am curious vot one I vill be sorted into."

"Me too. Hopefully you'll be a 'claw," he said. Mostly because then he could keep Ravenclaw the only house with werewolves in it.

It would suck to have a Slytherin werewolf or something.

"I can't imagine them making you stand up there. You'd probably scare all the firsties." He paused. "You should, if they make you. Tell them you got skipped and have been standing there for six years."

He paused, then beamed. "No. Tell them you couldn't do the required entry spell, and until you can, you can't actually be a student."

Hans coughed quickly to hide another laugh. Keeping a straight face was becoming a skill of the past at this point.

"Vot sort of influence are you?" he asked, biting down another laugh. "You are the one I'm to mimic? I vill be expelled by All Hallow's Eve."

Hans blinked, considering that for a moment before grinning slightly. "Perhaps that is vot I vill tell them. I vos expelled and I am now re-applying."

	Tris blinked. "I thought that was our goal? Getting you expelled?" He grinned. "But that is an excellent plan - though then the firsties will think they can get expelled and come back." He shook his head. "Anyway, I'm a very bad influence. Lan's worse, though I'm sure you knew that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Vos he?" Hans tilted his head to one side, tapping his chin in thought. "I vill be reminded on the first, yeah? Ve shall see vhich of the two of you is worse."

But on that note, he really needed to go get measured for his robes before anymore time passed chatting.

"I haff been entertained, but I suppose I haff to be going." Hans shook his list for emphasis before rolling his eyes. "There are not parents to do useless chores for me here."

	"You should hire a first year to do it for you," he said, nodding. "But all right. In that case, I'll see you 'round. On the train if not after. Though you should be in my house, really. I can't very well be competing with a wolf in another house." He winked to Hans before he turned to continue his own shopping, leaving the boy to take off as he would.

	"You vill haff to start vishing now. Vot vith mine being the vinning house, vhichever it might be." Hans laughed quietly to himself before gathering up his supplies and heading off to purchase them with a farewell wave. Ravenclaw was the witty house, wasn't it? Hans wasn't sure how much of a fit he was on wit. He would find out when September rolled around. (Reply to this) (Parent)
