Ted was finally having some time off from hectic life of the Ministry. He soon found himself in Diagon Alley. Once there his feet seemed to do the walking, and he soon enough found himself in Flourish and Blott's. A book, sounded like a brilliant idea. Ted made his way into the store, and began to look around. He did enjoy a good book, even if he never had much time to read them. But he did try to read at least one book every month for good measure. Mum always told her son, that it was good to read kept the mind sharp, so Ted read.
He wandered about the stop, through the endless books, As the older wizard,(from the students that came here anyways) tried to find a good book that would catch his eye. As he made his way down one isle, he turned rather quickly, and all the books came flying off the shelf. Ted hadn't touched them had he? He stared at the books for a moment, before he pulled his wand out of his pocket and gave it a swish to send all the books back up onto the shelf.
All but one book went back, he bent down as he put his wand back in his pocket and picked it up. He took a moment to flip through it before returning it to the shelf. Ted then made his way once more through the shop. He had yet to find a book that truly caught his eye. He wasn't sure if he would today, he hoped to not leave empty handed.

"Oh blood hell" Muttering under her breath Emmeline bent down to pick up one of the books of the pile the shop assistant had retrieved for her, of all the dull things a person could be doing on a Friday afternoon Emmeline Morgan found herself surrounded by shelves upon shelves of old-never-seen-the-light-of-day books. Not just any old book, these were books on window cleaning charms and potions. She had even seen a book about hexes to make windows constantly dirty until the code word to break the hex was spoken. Not surprisingly she had tossed that book over her shoulder after the index page in annoyance, why did the assistance get her that one? Hadn't she specifically asked for window 'an index cleaning' spells? There was the potion option of course and being a potions mistress it had been her first choice but even with a potion she still had to find the time to clean the windows every 3 days and she hardly had the time to shower in the morning right now with her three shops never mind to go around those three shops and clean all the windows. Checking the book in her hand she sucked in a breath as the pealing gold text looked back up at her, A complete and In-comprehensive account of the Development of Cleaning Charms. "What the bloody...!" She broke off and instead flung the book over her shoulder, she hoped she hit the shops assistant, he obviously needed some help if he gave her rubbish like this when she asked for an 'index' not the development notes.
