louder than sirens, louder than bells {OPEN}

Who: Lily and you.
What: Apothecary nonsense.
Where: Auturgy.
When: Throughout September.
Warnings: None so far.

From the outside, Auturgy looks like any other apothecary. Anyone who's anyone knows that the brilliant witch inside is one of the best in the business though, and certainly the best in Diagon. The most brilliant witch of her generation, Albus Dumbledore had called her when she was still in Hogwarts, and that shines through now. In any case, the shop's hours are tailor-made for the curfew of a muggle-born witch or wizard but even some of the snobbiest purebloods shop there, having to admit that if they want quality, they have to come here. The inside of the shop is homey, smelling of spice instead of fumes, and the pet bed by the door has in turns a large black dog, a squish-faced orange cat, or both.

There are potions along one wall, ingredients along another, a squat shelf of potions books, and two displays with potion-making tools for sale just in case. Lily brews behind the counter, chirping glass birds sound when you open the door, and while until now she's always worked alone, there are a few new employees that may be tinkering around assisting her and in turn assisting any customers. There are special order forms that can be filled out and the proprietress will get back to you with prices and a time frame as soon as possible.

Dean looks up when the birds chime the arrival of a new customer, and a massive grin breaks out across his face when he sees who that customer is.

"Luna!" He drops whatever it was he was working on and rushes around the counter to greet her. He knows when it is she came in from, and he's sad to say he recognizes that 'I just survived being tortured by Death Eaters' look on her face. He's glad to see she's still smiling, though. That's something he admires about her.

"It's good to see you. I think I've got that dreamless sleep potion around here somewhere..."

She can't help but smile just hint more broadly at Dean's grin. It's still no large thing, but it's a strengthened smile, and it's nice enough for her to feel on her own lips.

"It's wonderful to see you, as well," she replies, approaching all the closer as he rounds the corner, "And I'm so glad you're working here. I really was hoping I'd be able to find a way to get some proper sleep. Nightmares are awful things-- I imagine you must understand. I'd really rather find a stone with some Luzplick bug essence on it, but I imagine a potion'll do in a pinch."

He does understand, so he walks over to the shelves where the pre-brewed potions are kept, and searches for a moment before picking up the one he was looking for. "Here it is."

He brings it back to the counter and starts packaging it up for her.

"Dunno how it'll compare to your... bug essence... but it should help you sleep."
