Main Street

There stood Kelsi, Robin, Fry, Andrea, Eric and Ally. They all had their lists before them, but to Kelsi's horror, over half the stores were shut down. Except for Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Or whatever they were called. But, that wasn't enough. In fact, it frightened Kelsi. A lot. They walked down, after visiting the bookstore, and getting the books needed, and stopped by Ally's restaurant as she went to go drop something off.

Eric and Fry set off into some intense conversation about what they'll buy at the WWW, while Kelsi stared across the street at the empty "Olivander's".

"I hate this place now. It might as well be renamed to the Knockturn Alley Number Two, if you ask me," said a voice grudgingly. It was Rachel, who standing behind Kelsi, who's eyes also moved onto the empty building of Oliverander's. Her hands were already filled with school supplies. She had gone there that day early then Kelsi had.

"Speaking of Knockturn Alley, don't ever go there. Especially right now, you'll regret it."

Kelsi jumped a foot. "Don't do that, Rachel! She spun around, and hugged her. "I'm TERRIFIED of that place. Why would I ever want to go? Especially now."

Fry and Eric looked up at her. "Holy crap, she looks like Karin!" they both gasped.

"Have you ever been there before?-Well, don't go. It's... pretty creepy. And evil-oops, that was too loud. Anyway," she turned to glare coldly at Eric and Fry. "Don't say the devil's name."

Fry and Eric both stared at her with their mouth open. Then, Fry leaned in, mouth still open, and whispered, "I never knew she had a sister..."
Eric responded silently, "That's so weird."

Kelsi ignored them. "Yeah, you should be quiet. This place is so eerie. And the weather is fitting perfectly." Kelsi glanced to the sky, which was visibly gray and overcast. "I don't like it... This place used to be so cheerful..."

It seemed to be Rachel's turn to ignore Kelsi. She looked over at the boys and smiled at them. "What's so weird about her having a sister, huh?" She then took a stepped forward, and started to glare at them. "Or, what's so weird about me, buddies?" she said, whispering into Eric's ear with a deadly sounding snarl.

Eric stumbled backwards. "She's worse!!"
Fry nodded. "Let's get the hell out of here, Kelsi, we're going to Weasley's Wizard's Wheezes!" And the two boys stumbled off to the store.

Kelsi began to laugh. "Hah, that was awesome, I wish I could scare my brother like that!"

"Well," Rachel smiled pridefully. "You just gotta play the part, sometimes. The creepy older sister. But, I guess, we can't all be actresses with things like THAT..."

"Heck, they're gone... So, it doesn't matter."

Andrea was staring at Rachel with a newfound admiration. "That was so COOL! Hey, Kelsi, can I go join them? You don't think Ally'll mind do you?"

"When I was your age I didn't care. Go on. Run along, you annoying thing."

"YES!" Drea ran after the two boys.

Rachel sighed happily. "I feel loved. Usually little kids tend to avoid me. I'll NEVER be a mother, Kelsi!"

"Well, that'll happen some time. I'm sure you'd want at least ONE child."

"No, I honestly don't. They would be a burden on my plans, I guess you could say,"

"W-wait, what are your plans?"

"Too marry Nick, live in London and be a fortune teller or match-maker." Her smiled flicker into a frown for a minute, and then flickered back. "It's about the only thing I can pursue with my grades, at this point."

Libby ran up to them. "Hey, you guys!"

"Oh, hi Libby!" said Rachel turning to her and smiling at her casually. "Had a nice summer?"

"Yeah." Libby looked around. "This place is so creepy now. I miss the lighthearted feeling of visiting this place, like in first year."

"I remember coming here before we were all in First Year,"

"I had to come here a few times before first year. It seemed so big and bright back then and now..."

"It's all broken down and closed and gross..."

Kelsi nodded silently. "All because people aren't pure-blood, and apparently are "blood-traitors", and not going through the concepts of You-know-who. It's horrible."

Ally came out ripping up a note, mumbling angrily under her breath. Apparently her happy day seemed ruined now. "Alright, ready to- Oh, hi, Libby, Rachel. Where's the others, Kelsi?!"

She pointed to WWW. /lazy

"Idiot, we're supposed to stay together!!"

"Shut up, if I told them not to go, they'd have gone anyways, so what was the point?!" Kelsi yelled back.

"Don't yell at me!!"

"I'll yell if I want to!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot about Ally..." whispered Rachel. "Her business must be suffering with all this propaganda spreading around the place..."

"The restaurant keeps getting vandalized and stuff. Of course, we can fix that with magic, but I'm just scared that something'll happen like what happened to Olivander's."

"...Maybe she should leave business for a while. You know, it might be for the best until things cool down around here." said Rachel quietly, who was staring at Olivander's building. She seemed to be rather disturbed over that.

"I agree... But she's being an idiot. Honestly, Ally bugs me so much lately. She's under so much stress, and it's because of the store and that asshole, but she just won't at least let go of the store."
