The Wizarding centre of Britain was awash with Easter colours. Children of all ages were weaving through the legs of their parents in search of the brightly coloured eggs that had been hidden around the alleyway. The Wizards in charge of the event had been careful not to put any of the eggs near Knockturn Alley, though. In fact, Aurors had been stationed by the mouth of Knockturn Alley that connected it to the main Diagon Alley. Though they paid little attention to the Witches and Wizards that passed through there, they were especially aware of where the children were, determined to prevent them from getting lost in the most dangerous part of the alley. It was the mouth of Knockturn Alley that Rose Weasley was forced to past on her travels, gently directing some of the wayward children to the nearest egg to them, receiving grateful smiles from the slightly weary looking Aurors. Then, once they’d doffed their caps to her, Rose carried on down the cobbled robe to her destination: Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions.
It was clear from the ratty old pair of jeans and the holey jumper that her grandmother had knitted her years ago that Rose really wasn’t well equipped for outings. She’d donned a black cloak to keep out the warmth but she screamed Weasley from the top of her red little head to the bottom of her converse that allowed a perfectly good view of her rainbow coloured socks through the top - and she was sure the socks too had a few holes in them. Now, by no stretch of the imagination was Rose in any sort of poverty, far from it in fact. No, she’d just been too busy with research and working for the Lupins that she’d been neglecting her wardrobe. She smiled a little the reflection of herself in the window and shook her head before pulling the cloak over so the hole in her shoulder could not be seen. Then, Rose jumped up the steps and opened the door to the shop, the bell over which rang out shrilly and made Rose shrink somewhat in dismay of it.
“Good Morning!” Came a soft call from behind the desk. Rose returned the greeting with a smile and a slight wave before disappearing between the shelves in search of some clothes. Admittedly, she was clueless, but not entirely. She was sure she’d find something half decent in amongst the clothes - something she liked.
