Falen Tyler read off titles of books from her supply list as her elder brother, Darius Jr., pulled them from their places in the shelves and set them down on a semi-empty desk. Flourish and Blotts was their second to last stop before Falen would have everything she needed for her first year at Hogwarts; their first stop, due to Falen's begging and pleading, had been Magical Menagerie. She was eager to pick up a few things for her Siamese cat, something she'd done every chance she got to visit Diagon Alley. Her brother begrudgingly obliged. The final stop on their seemingly long journey, however, would be the Apothecary.

[color=#C37542][b]"[i]Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them[/i] by Newt Scamander,"[/b][/color] Falen read from the list, [color=#C37542][b]"Haven't you read that one? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere in your room."[/b][/color] Her brother simply nodded his head and pulled the book off the shelf.

[i]"You still need your own copy, I'm not giving you mine."[/i]

[color=#C37542][b]"Whatever,"[/b][/color] Falen said with a roll of her eyes before continuing to read from the list. About twenty minutes later, the pair were both approaching the register with arms full of books; most of them from the school list, and others to read for fun. Falen almost dropped her own books, practically jumping out of her skin after she heard a loud thud. It only took her a second to locate the source of the sound: a boy that looked to be around her age had dropped his books down on the counter. Falen could hear her brother snicker from behind her; she rolled her eyes and continued onward, dropping her own books on the counter. She didn't care whether or not the sound disturbed those around her. The stack was very heavy, after all.

While she waited for her brother to get the money situated, she couldn't help but take a peek at the books that the young man had dropped on the counter. [color=#C37542][b]"Old and Forgotten Bewitchments and Charms,"[/b][/color] Falen read aloud, [color=#C37542][b]"that's a pretty neat book, a very interesting read."[/b][/color] Falen loved to read books, and this only increased once she learned about magic. She'd often sneak books from her brother's shelves in his room; [i]Old and Forgotten Bewitchments and Charms[/i] had been one of them. [color=#C37542][b]"I especially liked reading about all of that dark magic stuff. You know, poppet's and elf arrows? Pretty gnarly."[/b][/color]
