I walked into the shop when i spotted i strange object over the other side of the door i went over to look at it.
At closer inpection i found, by reading the label, that it was a frozen house elf.
"EEEWWW" i said.

I walk very cautiously into Borgin and Burkes, wondering what I'm doing here - until I see a girl who's even more out of place than I am.
"'Ew'?" I repeat, walking up behind her. "Are you trying to say, 'I don't belong here so someone should hex me for the fun of it, because I'm too stupid to be missed'?" I shake my head and then glance at the house elf she was so creeped out by. Inwardly I grimace, but I try not to show it.
Poor thing, I think with a stab of pity at its pleading-for-mercy expression. He looks kind of like Kuppy.

"Well i don't quiet know what i'm doing here, and that elf is just upset and dead, why would you want to buy him?" i say looking at her then back at the house elf.

I shrug, also looking at the house elf. "Some people find that a good decoration.... Are you lost?"
((I'll be back... but I haven't seen sunlight all day, so....))

"Well, not actually i know where i am but i just don't know where to find some toad stool, so in a way i am lost" i say looking at her.

I raise my eyebrows. "I'd suggest going back to Diagon Alley if all you want is toadstools... what on earth made you come here?"

"Well this man said go down here turn left then right and it's the secound shop on the right so i did what he said" i say still looking at the elf.

"If this man had offered you a chocolate frog would you have taken it?" I ask, trying not to roll my eyes at her.

I smile slightly. "No... I guess not really stupid... just maybe not quite cautious enough."
I eye the terrified house elf once again, remembering Kuppy, then tear my eyes away.
"For example... do you have the slightest clue who I am?"
For a minute I almost want to pull up my left sleeve and show her a Dark Mark, just to see her expression. But that would be cruel as well as impossible, and I stifle a giggle just in time.

"Ur no, no idea but you don't seem like someone that would just hurt me for the fun of it" i say walking round the shop looking at things. " Anyway what are you doing in here" i ask looking at an ice-modle.

I frown at the thing she's staring at, trying to figure out what its purpose could be.
"No particular reason..." I shrug. Actually, what are you doing here?
"And you really never know who's a bad guy," I add softly.

I shrug. "If you say so." I wonder over to look at a large opal necklace labeled 'do not touch,' suppressing a shiver as I read the reason why. "So what's your name?" I ask finally, deciding on small talk until I figure out why I really came here.

"Arden Patricks," I say, giving a small smile even as I glance swiftly toward the front where Borgin is grumpily weighing something unpleasant-looking.
Thank the fairydust that my name's not that well known.
"And why did you say ow?" I ask belatedly, frowning.

I frown. "Every time you see me?" I repeat. "What are you, a spy?" I laugh slightly. "And I'm certainly not mad... but in case you haven't noticed there's a war on." I lean in close and whisper this last part, a little harsher than I'd normally be... but she wasn't exactly impressing me with her brilliance. And I had been in rather a foul mood for about the eight months.

"Well yer i know theres a war on but you can't worry about it every day some days you have to chill out and these is one of them days for me" i say darker then i would uselier.

I shake my head, eying a cruel-looking metal instrument like a many-fingered spiky hand.
"Some people can't just ignore reality," I shrug, voice low. "I'm not saying I don't laugh, but..."
But we're standing in a Dark instrument shop in the middle of Knockturn Alley, and I hate it, and my best friend is a death eater and also I hate that, and I'm scared I'm going to suddenly be recognized and hated, though I acknowledge that's unlikely....
I shrug again. "Never mind. But we should get you back to Diagon... easier and smarter to 'chill out' down there, yes?"

"I-" I blink, then nod, realizing belatedly that I'd said 'we.'
I look around. I'll come back, I think as though making a promise, even though I don't know why I'd want to.
"Yeah," I nod. "Let's go."
((Erm... well at the moment we're just walking out of the store, so we might as well stay here. If we decide to go someplace in particular I s'pose we'll change threads.))

"So..." I say, looking around, feeling much more relaxed now that I'm out of that shop... even though that's foolish. "You were looking for toadstools, right?"

I frown. "You were assigned as homework to go and buy toadstools?" I ask. "That's odd... normally they give you stuff if it isn't a basic ingredient... and often even then. What class?"

I nod expressionlessly as I glance over the list, not wanting to spend too much time on it while we're still walking down Knockturn Alley.
"Hm... are you sure this isn't a joke? I'm not sure it's even possible to create a frog with a potion... and if so it's horribly advanced. Did you get this directly from Slughorn or ask a classmate for the assignment?" I ask curiously.
