New Friendships

It was a gorgeous day in Diagon Alley. The sun was beaming, enlightening every crevice of the area, there was a slight breeze, but it hadn't made much of a difference to the unusually high temperature for early April. If Rosee had to guess, it was probably about seventy degrees Fahrenheit with the light wind. It was a great day to do some shopping, Rosalee had thought; so, she threw on some clothes and natural makeup, and headed on her way, armed with a wallet-full of money. She wished that her girl friends weren't busy that day, so she could have some girl time with them, but, she was forced to go by herself because none of her good friends were available that day. It was no matter to her, she loved shopping nonetheless, and she found it more peaceful when she did so herself. She did not usually enjoy being around a ton of people; three or four people at once was good enough for her. Any more than that, things could get too hectic, and her anxiety would usually get the best for her.

However, lucky for Rosalee, the Alley was not as busy as she had thought it would be. She assumed most people were at the lake, beach, or the park. She sighed in relief, and went to the closest store that sparked interest in her. She wasn't sure what the name of the store was, but she saw a lot of cute, girly clothes in the window, including a lot of pink. She knew that she would like it there, so she attacked it. She bought as much as she could, though there were so many things that she wanted, she didn't want to run out of money. Shopping was a lot of hard work for Rosee; she did it all the time, and usually over-splurged, which had eventually took a toll on her arms, and caused a lot of pain carrying all of the bags. Though she played many different sports, she rarely held so much weight on her arms for so long unless she was shopping. As if lacrosse wasn't enough pain for her already.

Time passed, and Rosalee was exhausted, so she decided to look for a place to recover. She came across the Twin Montez, an adorable cafe, which drew much of her attention. Rosee walked inside and approached the counter, ordering an iced latte with extra mocha, the chocolate gave her an extra boost of energy, which she needed to carry her bags to the remote location in which she parked her car. Once she got her order, she went over to a little table by the window. The sun was beginning to go down, leaving an orangey glow on the area. Rosee took out her new book, which she had bought just that day, and began to read it, whilst drinking her latte, hoping something or someone would distract her.

Yumi walked around Diagon Alley for what seemed like a long time. She had been looking for new robes and some clothes that she would actually like. Her "father" had sent her some new clothes that she had hated. They were all girlie and pink with purple, colors that Yumi loathed. She preferred black and blue and a very dark red as color of clothes she would actually wear. All the stores she passed didn't have clothes she would wear though. She became frustrated and didn't know where else to look.

She had noticed that Diagon Alley was unusually peaceful that day. She hoped it would stay like the whole day, it's something that usually didn't happen and she loved it. The quiet was exactly what she needed after all her classes and everything that's happened to her that usually deprived her of sleep. She found a store that had the clothes she wanted and she walked in. A few hours later she walked out with about 5 shopping bags in her hands.

She became exhausted from walking around and looking for things to buy. She came across the Cafe Twin Montez and she thought if was perfect a place to rest in. She walked in and ordered a iced mocha latte. She turned around to find a place to sit. The place had most of it's seats taken. Once she got her order Yumi turned around again and walked over to a table by the window where one other person sat. She stopped in front of the table and looked at the girl. "Hello, mind if I sit with you?" she asked her politely, taking a sip of her drink.
