Dogweed and Deathcap

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco opened the door and let Pansy past him into the store, the little bell tinkling their arrival. He greeted the proprietor and walked over to the counter with him, looking at the little slimy things in jars along the way. At the counter he started asking the man for specific delicate ingredients, ones that aren't left around the store front.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy went in with Draco, making her way around the shelves to look curiously at different things. She picked up a few jars to shake their contents, putting a few of them down quickly again as they gave an unpleasant response to her touching and messing with them. She glanced over her shoulder a few times as Draco and the shopkeeper talked, but she kept occupying herself with the items on the shelves. She would let him get whatever he needed taken care of. He'd come find her when he was finished and ready to go.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco thinks Pansy should know better than to shake the jars. I mean really. He spent a while talking to the shopkeeper before finishing up and walking over to her with the bag, "Okay I'm all set." Hey eyed the jar in her hands, "Enjoying the anaconda spleens?" He chuckled and took the jar from her, examining them for a second then putting them down and taking her hand. He nodded to the shopkeeper and led her back into the street, "So where do you want to go?"

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Clearly she doesn't know better. She just likes how some of the powders stay floating in the air of the jar sometimes, or how the eyeballs bounce off each other or some of those little unidentified black things tried to eat each other when disturbed. Potions had always interested her, but she just never got very good at it. Mostly she just liked looking at the ingredients and playing with them, which probably led to her lack of skill in the subject. When Draco came up behind her, she bit her lip and smiled like a child caught playing with something they shouldn't, letting him take the jar and put it back. She wrapped her fingers between his, following him out of the store. "I dunno. Did you have anything else you needed to get? I mostly just wanted to get out of the castle for a while, and to see you since you've sort of been scarce." She hit his thigh with her hand that was held in his, giving him a fake stern look as they stepped back out into the street.

Justin followed Audrey into the store. He could tell immediately by the smell that they sold Potions. "Wow," Justin said, looking around at all the different ingredients. He hadn't chosen Potions as one of his NEWTs, but even he could appreciate the plethora of items they sold. He made a mental note to mention the store to Arthur later, for he might find it useful with the clock making. "It's very interesting in here...I wish I knew what half these things were."

[Audrey Stevenson]

Audrey smiled and waved him over to join her, just having finished running through her list with the shopkeeper and wanting to show Justin around while he packed everything up. "Come here, I'll show you some of the more interesting things." She took his hand with a smile and picked up a small sheer bag with another, what looked like rocks inside. "See this? If you show these 'rocks', they're actually called disparaits, to direct light or put them in boiling water they instantly turn into gas that can be caught and absorbed by potions and salves. It's completely contrary to everything muggle chemistry teaches, I just wish I could take these things back to Cambridge with me to baffle them all."

[Hermione Granger]

Justin nodded confidently, even though everything Audrey had said went straight over his head. "I love showing different magical things to my little sisters; they make the perfect tricks." He smiled at Audrey. "Is there anything you want?" he asked; he had remembered to change in a large stack of Muggle money for galleons last week, so he certainly wasn't low on funds.

[Audrey Stevenson]

Audrey smiled and kissed his cheek before turning back to the counter, "I have a bit of a standing order in here, things I need for my research project, so don't worry about it. You can get the dinner tab after this." She walked over and started checking over all the things lying out waiting for her, making sure all the ingredients were up to her standards.

[Hermione Granger]

Justin didn't blush when Audrey kissed his cheek, but he did smile happily once she turned to face the counter. "I was planning to cover dinner. It's only polite, and I'd love to treat you; you most certainly deserve it."

[Audrey Stevenson]

She smiled and passed over her own money, "Well maybe I'll take you up on that offer in the bookstore after dinner." She took the magically wrapped package, complete with shrinking and lightening charms, and slipped it into her pocket, taking his hand again as they left the shop. She turned to him as the door shut behind them, "Dinner now or another shop?"
