[Rapunzel is always a little overwhelmed - in a good way - with Diagon Alley. There's so much to see, and Mother got so involved in a conversation that she told the girl to go her "some of her little friends". This was a delight! She's aiming to get to the Magical Menagerie, but there's plenty of places to catch her in-between.]

[ooc| Permission relevant!]

[luxextenebris]

[Guess who's outside Fortescue's standing on his tiptoes and trying to see over the crowd. When he spies her out the corner of his eye, he gives a wave.]

Hey, Punzie.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Of course he's outside of Fortescue's. It makes Rapunzel giggle as she rushes over, happy to see the boy.]

Roxas! It's great to see you?

[luxextenebris]

[Of course he is. Where else would he be? You're looking at Hogwart's biggest ice cream eater. He grins, shoving his hands into his pockets.]

It's great to see you too. Had a good summer?

At the streets

[remembertheroses]

[Rapunzel may not notice her, but Ib's definitely noticed the older girl. Quietly, while her parents were still oo-ing and aa-ing at some of the displays, she took out her notepad and started to draw her. She was really pretty, and she would look good in a portrait.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[It takes Rapunzel a moment, but it's hard not to notice the feeling of eyes watching you. She turns and smiles awkwardly at the young girl.]

Um, hello, is something wr--

[And then her face lights up.]

Are you drawing?

[remembertheroses]

[Eeek! Caught in the act! Ib blushes and was about to quickly put her notepad away and apologize when she hears the magical word: "drawing". She nods; yes she was.]

magical menagerie???

[flowerpowered]

[Still looking for a treat for Nii-chan, Shiemi browses the shelves for something that might catch her eye. She sticks out a little in her kimono, but she doesn't seem to notice. Nii-chan just sits in between the folds of her kimono, happy as a clam.

She's so busy looking at everything she doesn't see where's she's going when she absentmindedly turns a corner. Whoops?]

Ha, sure!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh!

[Rapunzel gasps and stumbles back a bit, then catches herself. She looks around and-- Ooh, what a lovely.... Different sort of clothing! She has no idea.]

Are you alright?

[flowerpowered]

[She gives a small 'eep!' and shakes her head.] Oh no, I'm so sorry! I-I should have been paying attention! I'm such a klutz...

[A small sigh.] I-I should be asking you the same thing! But... But yes I am...

[givesyouaboner]

_{[There's a tug on her sleeve. She looks friendly enough to approach.]}

Do you know where the ice cream place is? I was supposed to meet my bro and friends there but I got lost.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh! [Rapunzel looks down at the (familiar; why familiar...?) boy and smiles.] I do, actually. Would you like me to take you there?

[givesyouaboner]

_{[He beams! You can't tell due to the shades, but he was actually starting to get scared, although he'd never admit it.]}

Yes, please.

[fuckmackandme]

[And somewhere near the Quidditch Equipment shop, guess who spots her!]

Oh, hey! Hey Rapunzel!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Rapunzel turns and beams.]

John! Hey! How are you?

[fuckmackandme]

[Woah there. He doesn't remember her being this... Really, really pretty up close.]

I'm good. I was going to get a new broom.

On the streets!

[theredbat]

[Oh hey, cute girl. Kate smiles and nods at her, taking a moment to smooth her hair.]

You seem to be having a blast.

[Granted, Kate is overwhelmed too. She's not used to all of this magic stuff, despite heading into fifth year.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I am! [Rapunzel laughs happily and nods.] This is almost as good as being back at school, don't you think?

[theredbat]

I can't say. Hogwarts is a bit more...organized.

[Could she be more obviously Muggle born? She keeps glancing around, staring at everything.]

I don't think I'll ever get used to magic.

[ladyliberty]

[Amelia passes Rapunzel by on the street and-- gosh, she always forgets how pretty Rapunzel is over the summer-- and gives an enthusiastic wave.]

Punzie, hi!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Full-on run-and-hug time here, folks.]

Amelia! It's wonderful to see you again!

[ladyliberty]

[Huuugs! She loves hugs.]

It's great to see you too! I missed you!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[...Why does she feel like someone's looking at-- Oh!]

Hey there!

[status_is_not_quo]

[She's looking at him, and wow, she's even prettier when he has her attenti--

She's looking at him!

All the blood drains from Billy's face, and his eyes go wide and his jaw works like a drowning fish.]

I...uh. Hi...?
