Michael walked down Daigon Alley slowly looking threw the shops one by one. He knew what he needed for school but what to get first he had taken enough gold from the bank to buy his stuff and a little extra to get food and candy and stuff as well. Michael walked into the store Florish and Botts to by his books for the term.
Michael did not like crowded places such as this. There were wall to wall people for as far as he could see. He made his way slowly , due to a mass of people blocking him, to the book shelf where his standerd book of spells year 6 lay on the self as well as his Defence Aganst the Dark Arts book. He grabbed them and slipped them into his bag, and headed for the rest of his books. He managed to bump into atleast 12 people on his way across the room.
Michael sighed as he reached the other side and saw that he got the last copy of the Transfiguration level 6. "Atleast i did not get caught without this. He was shopping later then he normally did and that was not his fault, not completly atleast. Michael made his way threw the store to grab his last 4 books from the right shelves, which would have been faster if it had not been for the throng of people blocking and shoving him at all times.

A pair of cautious eyes gazed out at him from behind a book of magical creatures. The nymph had decided to come into the wizarding world for a little bit and also to read up on what the thought about her kind. Some of the rumors and legends that she had read were grossly exaggerated, such as the idea that she was likened to an angel.
Ana could perhaps be described as having the dark kind of beauty that was fairly rare among muggles and wizards. Long, black hair ran all the way down her back and a pair of brown eyes peered out from behind an ususually tan face. Her dress for today was a set of old robes that she had found disgarded in the forest, probably because the previous owner had come upon a horrid fate.
Her hair had been swept up into a loose bun to make her look more human and her wings tucked underneath her robes. All in all, it was the perfect charade. And that was one thing that she loved- pretending to be something that she certainly wasn't.
"Do you need help looking for anything?" She inquired, glancing slowly at the boy holding the Transfiguration textbook. Smiling a little, she figured that he must be a student from the magic school.

Michael stopped and looked at the girl infront of him. It toke him a moment to notice the way she held herself and what she had said over the swarming crowd and the raging noise. "No i am ok i just have trouble getting across the store to get the books." he said simply he needed 2 books and they where across the store. He pushed threw the crowd and finally got the books "Sorry to push off liek that i needed to get them before they where all gone." he put the books in the bag and held his hand out to her "My name is michael." he said with a soft smile.

She had never seen such a crowd of wizards before and she wondered why they had all come here. After all, books were just books, simply that and nothing more. She simply didn't understand the chaos. No matter, though. Extending her own hand, she shook the boy's in a firm grip, a small smile on her face.
"It's fine." She replied, closing the book that she had been reading while still taking note of the page- 210. "It's a pleasure to meet you. My name's Anactoria, though you might call me Ana if you prefer."

Michael looked at the crowd for a moment wondering why everyone was here. He figured that they were last minute shopping for their kids school supplys. He shoke the girls hand and smiled "Nice to meet you Ana." he said simply with a soft smirk. His books where in his bags and he was heading toward the counter while looking at her sense he could only get a foot ahead each other minute "What are you doing here?"

It was a good question. What was she doing in Diagon Alley, anyway? Glancing around calmly, her eyes fell upon another young student paging through a book which was obviously for one of her classes. Letting out a small sigh, she turned back to Michael. The crowds were terrible, though she could only guess at why.
"Just.... looking at a few books." She said, brushing a strand of hair out of her eye. Stupid wizard hairstyles, she doubted that she would ever get all her hair to stay up. "How about you?"

Michael nodded to say that he understood. "The same but i need to get all my supplys for this school year?" he said with a smile "So are you going to be in Daigon alley long or just till you get the books?" he ask softly and sweetly with a softly grin. He liked to talk to people and get to know them so he figured that he could get to know this girl if they talked a bit more

Well, there wasn't any harm in staying for a little bit longer. It wasn't like she had anything else to do. The forest had grown terribly boring lately, leaving her with nothing to do but lie around and occasionally go for a fly. And she was the only nymph in the whole area, leaving her with a heavy sense of loneliness that was hard to shake.
"No, I can spend as much time here as I like." She replied. "Why, did you have something in mind?" She wouldn't mind spending more time with this boy, though there was always the thought that he was a wizard and she was not. How long would it take him to figure that out?
