[secondpotter]

Who: Albus Potter and Lily Evans
What: Albus decides it's time to meet his grandmum
When: September 2, 1980
Where:Auturgy, Diagon Alley
Warning: None
Status: In Progress



[Albus arrives at Auturgy in Diagon Alley far more nervous than he appears. Reaching out to his Grandmum had been impulsive. He probably should have introduced himself in person before chatting with her as if they were old friends. Still, he couldn't ignore Lily's post. If he and Scorpius were to find a way out of this mess and put the world right again, they were going to need Lily's help. That didn't change the fact that the last time he saw his Grandmum... well, he should really say, the last time he heard her voice... it wasn't pleasant. Not by any stretch.

He takes a deep breath before he enters the shop. Normally, he'd browse through the aisles, picking up bottles and vials since he can't seem to enter a shop without touching everything. Today, however, he walks straight up to the counter.]

Hello? Lily... er... Miss... Evans?

[ lily is fussing about the shop as usual but there's a nervous air to it by the time that albus passes through the threshold. there's a spoiled orange cat (crookshanks) curled up in a large dog bed, shelves and shelves of ingredients and neatly labeled bottles and ampoules, and the strong sweet scent of something brewing behind the counter - star anise is in it, apparently.

she's bent behind the counter when he speaks and straightens so quickly that she almost bashes her head on the damn thing, swearing and pushing her hair out of her face - and then staring at him. her eyes flick over his face and he looks exactly like harry in the way that harry looks like james - so similar but just different enough.

she smiles but it's a little shaky. ]

Albus?
