Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop

[helmetdoesnothing]

[He's bought himself some new quills, a rather fancy one that he took a liking to, and some black ink to do his homework in, as well as some other bits and pieces and he's away in his own thoughts as he leaves the shop.

The boy bumps into someone, jumping and mumbling a quick 'sorry'. Maybe it was you, or maybe you can swoop in and save the poor kid from the irritated shopper about to shout at him for not looking where he's going.]

[greaselightning]

[As it turns out, it certainly was Cronus who Mituna bumped into, the "afflicted" boy turning to look at his assailant, realizing instantly who it is, making any visible irritation completely gone from his expression as he gives Mituna one of his shit eating smiles.]

Hey there chief, eyes not working too well for you today?

[And before Mituna can even answer:]

Hahaha, I'm kidding, but seriously, you ought to watch where you're walking, bumping into cats isn't exactly the grooviest thing to do.

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[The bump shocked Feli, and the Italian let out a frightened yell before his overly full bags burst open and some of the goods roll out.]

No no! Come back!!

[The Italian student gave chase at some rolling tins down the road, leaving his groceries right next to Mituna. A small slip of paper slips out, blown by the wind to stop at Mituna's feet: it's a list of ingredients, all written in Italian.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Watching Mituna bump into people, Tony shakes his head and comes over.]

You know, situational awareness, it's not going to kill you.

The Magic Neep

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[Feli's at the green grocer's today, checking out the local produce. He's smelling the vegetables, testing the fruits for any bruises, and seems very focused on his shopping today as he talks to himself in Italian. It seems to be serious business for the usually chipper and air-headed Italian. Nearby in his bag are some other ingredients like flour, sugar, milk and oil. It looks like Feli's going to be doing some serious cooking soon.]

[brothor]

[Thor doesn't have anything to shop for, but the smell of the food reminds him of home and he likes taking a peek around. He catches Feli out of the corner of his eye and decides to be a friendly fellow student and grin over at him.]

Hello! Are you going to be cooking something?

Gladrags Wizard Wear

[marshall_lee]

[Marshall is inside the clothing shop staring helplessly at the displays of dress robes. He has to buy a set for the upcoming Yule Ball but he has absolutely no clue of what kind to buy. In his opinion they all look horrible and if it were an option he'd just go in jeans and his flannel.]
Someone want to help a poor fashion challenged vampire out?

[thegluethatbinds]

[Your professor is equally as lost. If possible, he'd prefer to avoid the Yule Ball; it's not really his kind of party. But teachers have to come, so Coulson has to get a set of dress robes. Only problem being that he'd rather come in a Muggle suit than any of these things. A slight frown form on his face as he half-heartedly plucks at the sleeves of one.]

Honeydukes

[latulamatata]

[The young red haired will be found in the sweet shop picking basically all the kind of candies available in there to get a super pack full of it to take back to Hogwarts and give it to the Hufflepuff youngsters who weren't able to join them (she would give it to the other houses too but she's not properly rich, ok?). And no, she probably won't stop until she's out of her budget for the entire month.

If you spot certain a Hufflepuff that looks like a little kid walking around happily as she adds more candies into a bag floating that is almost full, that's most likely her.]

[di_intraining]

[He's on his way to see a friend, but he stops right outside the sweet shop when he spots a familiar flash of red hair. Slightly amused and a teensy bit envious, he calls out to Latula as the candy starts to approach the brim of her bag.]

That's an awful lot of candy Latula! Better be careful, or you might need a trip to the wizard dentist.

On the main road, looking at the Shrieking Shack in the distance

[3houseswatson]

[So far, John was enjoying this visit to Hogsmeade. He hadn't needed to do much in the way of shopping, but it was nice to be able to walk about the town unimpeded by his cane.

His brief discussion with Sherlock about the unusual shack in town had rekindled his interest in the place. He hadn't really thought about it in a long time, but Sherlock had raised some interesting points about it. He wasn't sure if Sherlock had decided to come to Hogsmeade at all, but he had a hunch that if he had, he'd be more interested in the shack and its possibilities than the shops.]

[3potionproblem]

[Indeed he was. It didn't take long to find the shack or John. Sherlock smirked to himself as he marched over, coming up quite a bit closer than normal, friendly personal space bubbles permitted. Who cared about normal. John was much more interesting--as was the shack.]

So, this is the place is it?

Honeydukes

[brothor]

[Thor is staring eagerly at several different kinds of candy. Normally? He knows exactly what he wants whenever he's here. He has his favourites.
This time? It's not for him. He's trying to pick the ABSOLUTE BEST CANDY EVER so he may gift it upon a certain meatball headed girl he fancies.

He looks uncharacteristically stressed. Give the guy your opinions?]

[rule_britannia]

[Arthur notes that stressed look. It's not one he's used to seeing on the other boy's face and it's enough to draw a faintly raised eyebrow. He is shopping for himself, having something of a not-so-secret sweet tooth, and he picks his way through the crowd to arrive at Thor's side, bumping against him lightly.]

If you stare at it any more intently, it might start to melt.

Anywhere!

[rule_britannia]

[On his cousin's urging, Arthur is looking for a new coat for the winter. Of course, Hogsmeade being what it is, he's also being distracted by everything else and is idly window-shopping his way up the street.

He's carrying a couple of bags already, with a few things he's picked up for school and maybe a gift or two for Christmas. Every now and then he'll pause to look into a shop window, considering what he might buy if he went inside.]

[ihaveanappforthat]

[A rather singsong-y voice pipes up from beside him whilst he was staring into one of the windows.]

I wouldn't buy that one, it looks nice but that brand is utter rubbish.

[Say hello to Moriarty, Arthur...]

Dominic Maestro's

[nomorals]

[Marcie's browsing the music store for inspiration. With the Yule Ball just around the corner and the music club being the entertainment, she needs to hurry up and choose a song list for the night. She's casually flicking through the records in the wizard punk section, a couple already sitting by her feet. It's a pain in the ass that technology doesn't work at Hogwarts but if the best she can do is an old record player to teach her club goons how to party proper then so be it.]

[sugaredpotions]

[A moment later, there's a grinning blonde popping right next to her with another, smaller pile.]

How about these? It can't all be obscure wizard punk, Marcie. People will expect at least one slow dance.

All around hogsmeade

[greaselightning]

[So, this is certainly Cronus' first time in Hogsmeade, and for anyone paying close enough attention to the 5th year Slytherin, it's pretty damn obvious. For the most part, he's just taking everything in, exploring, maybe buying a few things here or there--but most of all, he's gotten lost. And while that may be the case, it doesn't stop this relentless flirt from doing just that--flirting with whoever might have the misfortune of making eye contact with him, or whoever just so happens to meet his fancy(which is basically everyone).]

[So whether it be at Honeydukes, or Dominic Maestro's, Cronus is bound to be there, lost and doing what he does best: making people feel awkward. Maybe you just want to help the poor guy out, he does look a bit displaced when he's not running his mouth, or maybe he just hit on you? He really is just tactless.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Unlike last time, Bro unfortunately doesn't have a good reason to be at Hogsmeade. So since he didn't have a good reason, he decided to just go and. Hang out. Mostly to make sure nobody gets into too much trouble. It's a boring job, because Bro's definition of trouble is more than the average teacher's definition of trouble, so he's probably not even getting on anyone's case for things he should be.

Luckily for him, he's just found something that might not make this a total bore; the most recent Amporan addition to the castle. He's been meaning to catch up with him and see how the castle's been treating him, and now seems the best opportunity to do that.]

Yo. Staying out of trouble and shit?

Honeydukes

[luxextenebris]

[Surprise surprise, someone you didn't expect to find here. Roxas is browsing a corner of the shop, trying to decide what kind of sweets to buy. He's not generally a big sweet eater (usually they need to be salty but sweet), but there's always a chance he might like something new.]

Tomes and Scrolls

[nobodyscrumpet]

[Someone is standing at the window, peering at the books inside with a wistful look on her face as she wonders to herself how much money she has to spend on books, let alone how many she would be able to carry back to school. Also, she would be meeting up with Greg later for some tea, so she couldn't buy too many.]

What a bother....

Outside the hair salon.

[bundangos]

[Standing just a little away from the front door. Usagi stands there wondering about if she should go in and get a hair cut, or even try to be a little daring and see if she can get her hair dyed.]

[brothor]

[Thor has nearly walked up to her about three times before he finally strides up with a less wide grin than he's known for.]

Usagi!

Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment

[candycrabapple]

[Karkat is in here, buying a few things for his classes that he hadn't gotten around to getting but realised that maybe he should have.]

[mo_cara]

Karbro! [A wild Gamzee appears!] Damn, motherfucker, where you been, I been all looking for you high and low!

Madam Puddifoots

[di_intraining]

[Greg's early, trying to look casual and ignore the giggling couples all around him. He was just giving Victoria a treat, just to cheer her up. It wasn't like they were actually dating or anything; it was just a friendship thing. He...he didn't actually like her in that way. They're just good friends.

He shifted in his seat, slightly uncomfortable and awkward. This is the first time he's been in this tea house and it's starting to be clear to him why only couples frequented the place; it really was a very cozy setting.]

[nobodyscrumpet]

[Victoria comes into the store slowly punctual as ever, however her head is buried in a book and after standing in the doorway for a moment, she closes the book and looks around. Smiling slightly at the very cozy surroundings. She spots Greg, smiling a little more and approaches him.]

Now this really is a very charming place. You have such a good eye, Gregory.

[She glances around again.]

A tad coupley though.

Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop

[innocent_insanity]

[Kurloz has run out of his favourite indigo ink from all this note-writing and he's in need of a new notebook for communicating with the students. Observe the tall gangly kid with heavy eyeliner marvelling at the gorgeously coloured inks.]

[helmetdoesnothing]

[He observes, for a few moments, then he's peering around his best friend's arm while he taps the opposite shoulder and grins widely.]

Honeyduke's

[greenmoonrising]

[While Bruce isn't a fan of sweets, he's in need of chocolate to help him perk up after the full moon that will be coming soon. So he's bearing with the overwhelming noise of the students happily chattering at each other while wrestling for the different sweets. He's keeping it simple though and just has a couple of large bars of chocolate in hand, standing in line for the register.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony slips in behind him at line, and knocks the back of his knees with the front of his own knees.]

Anywhere

[thegluethatbinds]

[After that failure at the dress robes store, Coulson's just quietly enjoying the atmosphere in the quaint village. Talk of Christmas was going around the village, and some of the shops had even put up some decorations already. Hogsmeade did look like a Christmas card. Wistfully, he wonders if he should risk sending a card back to his colleagues; Fury might like the one with the one-eyed reindeer.

He stops outside a shop and just idly looks inside at the ornaments inside. That is one ugly star that's going up on the tree.]

+1 vampire

[wavesofjade]

[Often, when she ventures into Hogsmeade, it's on the more quiet days, or she makes a point of keeping to places where there aren't as many people. Her requirements today, however, have taken her down the crowded main street and she's distracted as she moves carefully between the shoppers. When she spots Coulson, she pauses, and smiles. She'd not mistake him anywhere.

Quietly, she steps up beside him and looks up at the tree in the window, tilting her head slightly.]

... It's a little gaudy, isn't it?

Anywhereeeeee

[ihaveanappforthat]

[James isn't really shopping in any certain place, he has a couple things from some shops but he's spending his time walking, no real goal other than to get out and walk around. Occasionally he stops to look into shops to quench his curiosity.]

Re: Anywhereeeeee

[actuallyspeakslatin]

[Natasha is also wandering around after doing some shopping. Mainly ay Honeydukes, because she's 13.]

Hello James. How are you?

Shrieking Shack- Closed to Henry

[cantfightthisfire]

[Whenever Hogsmeade comes around, the only interest Marina has is hanging out near the shrieking shack. She's not allowed inside of it, of course. But she gets as close as she possibly can to it. No one ever bothers her here, and it's the one time she can be completely alone just to chill.

So that's exactly what she's doing. She's sitting under a tree, bundled up in a hoodie and a small fire in front of her, warming her hands. She isn't quite sure if she's allowed to have a fire here, but it's whatever because she doesn't care. Besides, she charmed it so it wouldn't burn anything down, so on the off chance she gets caught, they can suck it.]

[lefilschanceux]

[It was only his second time in Hogsmeade; in the first time he'd mostly checked out the shops and wasted more money than he should have on candy. This time, however, he'd decided to just walk more through the village, appreciate the sights.

He was curious about the so called Shrieking Shack, too. Supposed to be the most haunted place in all of the UK, he heard. He wasn't very interested in ghosts and the like, not since actually seeing them in person, and even have one go through him once back when he was twelve, but still, he wanted to see if it was all it was made out to be.

Once he reached the hill, he had to admit, he was a little disappointed. It looked like just a shack, perfectly normal despite the lack of doors and windows, and absolutely silent. It certainly didn't live up to its reputation.

He was just wondering if he should go back when he noticed the fire. He took a few steps closer to it, trying to see past it and the smoke rising from the flames, but when he saw who it was, he stopped with a sharp intake of breath. It was Marina, the last person he was expecting to just run into like that. He immediately turned back towards the shack. She didn't want to talk to him, see him, or acknowledge him. He wouldn't give her a reason to get her mad if he could help it.

And so, he focused back on the shack, trying to find something interesting about it.]
