Location: Diagon Alley
Al stepped out of the public fireplace into Diagon Alley. His eyes swept over the various shopfronts, and he stood for a moment just watching the people go about their business. A couple of young witches - probably employees of Gringotts or the Ministry by the fancy robes and the professional haircuts - sat at a pavement cafe sipping drinks and laughing. A couple of kids trudged along in the wake of their mother, probably picking up things for Hogwarts too.
Al stretched lazily in a patch of sun, pondering on where to go first. He needed to pick up a couple of books still, and get some potions supplies. Athena needed some new owl feed. He'd have to pick up some new robes from Madam Malkin's, too. He turned back to the fireplace, waiting for Rose to come through.
