Shopping trip, of the sports variety
Characters: Angelina Johnson and OPEN
Setting: Diagon Alley (specifically anywhere between Quality Quidditch Supplies [#26] and Whizz Hard Books [#38] which is a lot of area to run into her), November 4th around 3 pm
Summary: Angie gets out to go shopping, her way.
Rating: Probably work safe

Angie didn't know about anyone else, but she needed to get out of the house. Unfortunately as it wasn't late enough to head to a pub and get completely pissed, she decided to distract herself another way: shopping, but thankfully not for a dress. She didn't really need new Quidditch supplies, but she wouldn't turn them down. Some of her gear was running a bit threadbare on padding, and she'd heard Quality Quidditch supplies had gotten in a new line of goggles that sharpened vision in inclement weather. Though she didn't often read much, she had the desire to sop into Whizz Hard books and see if they had any new biographies of sports legends. Might as well do both at once.

Angie got dressed, noticing only afterwards that lately she'd been wearing neutrals as opposed to her brighter louder colors. Instead of red or jewel tones, she was beige jeans and a olive top. If she were more overly concerned with fashion and mood she might have changed, forced herself to wear something brighter to help pick up her spirits, but she figured who cared? Besides, she'd just attend the funeral of the wizarding world's hero yesterday. She was allowed to not be bright and happy.

She Apparated to Diagon Alley with her usually loud crack of sound, Angie appeared somewhere between the two stores, debating which one to hit up first.

"Purse smurse. Are you a famous Quidditch player or not? You should be rolling in the galleons at this point! Blokes and birds throwing themselves at you at every match, wishing they could be with—and be the amazing Angelina Johnson on the Holyhead Harpies! I've seen it!" He grinned stupidly at her, watching her try out the items. He was genuinely excited by this, relishing in the idea of being on the pitch himself, not that he ever would be, but oh the thought!

Michael looked innocent when Angelina pointed him out as the culprit for pointing out the brooms. All he'd really done is take a look at them, honestly! He was about to say so but the store clerk was looking fidgety and said, "That's not really our policy here. I'll have to g-get the manager." He ran off as quickly as he could, much too uncomfortable for this situation.

"Oh, look at you, causing trouble in the store already! This aught to be good!" Michael watched the door to which the store clerk had vanished through and saw him return again with a woman who must be the manager he spoke of. When they approached he saw that she was actually the owner, according to her badge which read "Jacqueline Lejeune" for her name.

Angie had to laugh at that. "Remind me never to put you anywhere near in charge of my finances yeah? You're worse than I am!" She was excited as he was though, and now she had the broom in her hands, she'd little intention of letting it go. The poor clerk however seemed at a loss and ran off to get a manager. Not to worry. Angie was certain she could wheedle a test drive.

She needn't have worried. Once the manager came by he did a quick double-take, and grinned broadly. "Why Ms Johnson, certainly, let's see what we can do. We've got a place out back where we test some of the stock, make sure everything's running as it should. Perhaps you'd like to take the broom back there?"

Angie grinned at Michael, Sometimes it paid to be recognised. "Thanks that's be brilliant. "Come on, Michael, you've got to tell me how I look on this thing." Following the manager out to the back area, Angie gripped the broom with increasing excitement. If fact, the second they were all clear, she hopped on and kicked off, laughing at the speed and maneuverability.
