Stocking up
Characters: Adrian & Melinda
Setting: Sunday November 2nd at around 6 pm, in Hogsmeade at Bobbin's Botanicals & Provisions
Summary: Adrian needs to stock up on potions and he might as well do that nearish his home.
Rating: Worksafe

Adrian was among those who weren't sleeping well, but it wasn't due to nightmares. It was his workload. Investigating Harry Potter's murder didn't lead to restful sleep at night, at least not until it was solved. Right now he and Neville had a long way to go to get to that point. However, he wasn't as good at functioning on lack of sleep as Cade Warrington was. He needed to sleep and he needed to shut his brain off to do it. Likewise, when he was alert, he needed his wits extremely honed. If that didn't call for sleeping draughts and wit-sharpening potions he didn't know what did.

Rather than go from the Ministry into the Bobbin's location in Diagon Alley, Adrian headed to Hogsmeade. It was closer to his own home, for one thing, and he simply loved the wizarding town. He made a beeline for Bobbin's Botanicals & Provisions though, intent on getting what he needed before perhaps stopping in somewhere for a drink and dinner. He'd had another long day and though he'd gotten out earlier than expected, he was certain he'd still be working on the case for a few more hours before bed.

Inside Bobbin's, Adrian simply looked for someone to fetch the potions he wanted, or if needed, take his order to brew some. While he was waiting whoever, his gaze roamed over the supplies there. He fingered the cigarettes in the pocket of his pants as he waited, noting that he also needed to stock up on those as well.

Melinda blinked at him for a moment, not realizing she hadn't thought to mention her last name. "It's Bobbin, actually," she admitted with equal parts reluctance and pride. "No need to apologize. I hope the rest of your evening is pleasant. And that your mother feels better soon." Despite his relations, Melinda was disappointed to see him go. But she did need to close up and get more work done. Given their families, though, they'd likely run into each other again.

	Adrian's eyebrow rose a little at that. he hadn't realised she was a Bobbin. It had another host of questions ready to be asked - such as why she was minding the till herself - but he wasn't going to intrude on her time any longer. With a nod of his head he replied, "And you enjoy yours. Until next time," he added, and left with his purchases. (Reply to this) (Parent)
