[color=green][size=2][I]Regulus Black tapped his wand aganst the bricks in the alley behind the Leaky Caulderon. Standing back as the entrance to Diagon Alley opened, he glanced down at the shopping list in his hand and then pushed his way into the crowds on the street. Weaving through shoppers and families, he ducked beneath the canopy at Floristan's ice cream parlor and glanced into the window of the quidditch shop next door. A crowd of Hogwarts boys was spilling from the door, craning over each other to see the displays. Regulus thought he recognized one or two of the older ones, but rather than staying and trying to put names to their faces, he continued quickly along.
The first item on his list was simple enough. [/i]Restock standard potions ingredients[i], it read, in Addie's neat writing. Regulus emerged from the apocothary triumphantly, a bag in his hand. [/i]Robes for Katie[i], read the next item, followed by several measurements. They'd spent a morning a few days ago trying to hold her down long enough to get a tapemeasure up to her arms...Regulus cringed as he thought of the fuss she'd put up. When he entered Malkin's, he was still clutching his list and thinking about the next few places he'd have to go. So far he'd avoided being recognized, or at least speaking with people.
Looking up at the robe shop, Regulus saw Madam Malkin fitting a third year girl for new school robes. His eyes travelled over several racks of dress robes and other wizarding fashion, before they settled on a figure just across the room. [/i]Oh bloody hell,[i] he thought as the figure noticed him at the same time. He supposed it was too much to hope that they'd leave him alone.[/i][/color][/size][hr]
