Melinda glared at the clock. After the day she'd had, she no more wanted to go back to Diagon bloody Alley than she wanted to get hexed. If she'd just gone to the stupid joke shop in the first place, and then gone shopping for work, she wouldn't have to. But no, she'd put that off because of the noise and the rubbish jokes, and now ... now it was three days before her sister's sixteenth birthday and if she didn't get the present tonight, she wasn't going to be able to send it off to her mother to be included in Bess' birthday package.
Bugger.
She actually stared at her fireplace for another five minutes before she got up, feeling far too guilty at the thought of Bess not having a birthday present from her. Sisters. They were trouble.
She Apparated directly to the Leaky, walking through the pub and then out the back to Diagon proper. The vendors were beginning to close up, she saw, so she sped up. If the joke shop was closed when she got there ... well, she'd bang on the door until one of those ginger-haired prats opened it up.
Luckily, the lights were still on when she opened the door, and she stepped inside gingerly, looking around.
