-------------------

Once inside the bookshop, Helena could hardly contain her delight in the books; the girl was a passionate reader. Ever since they were children, the family had been in the habit of telling bedtime stories, including certain stories and legends linked to dragons, to stimulate the children's imaginations. Nolan was more interested in adventure and research, while Helena was more interested in romance and adventure novels.
The siblings were soon noticed by the bookshop manager when he saw the two new faces, whose description matched many a Hogwarts student's conversation.

"Welcome to Tomes and Scrolls. I'm Thomas Brun, the shop owner. I presume you're the two newcomers I've heard about, but let's get past that," the Afro-British man quickly introduced himself with a friendly smile, and with a wave of his hand signalled that he didn't care about the rumours surrounding the young newcomers, even if his curiosity was making him itch.
Above all, he didn't want to make these new customers feel uncomfortable; he had an eye for the girl's love of books and his main concern was to help her find the books that would make her customers happy.

"Well, let me know if I can help or advise you. "Thomas offered.

"Hello Mr Brown. Pleased to meet you. We'd love your help." he smiled happily at the landlord, Nolan didn't seem bothered by the fact that many people knew who they were. At least he didn't have the pressure of introducing himself. The whole village must already know about them, because at school everyone only talked about them in relation to his family and the dragons, but also the dragon attack. Which was an understatement for the Drakes, who were rumoured to be able to tame and even subdue these creatures of fire. The Slytherin and the Ravenclaw girl hoped that they would soon be forgotten and that conversations would focus on other subjects.

"Yes, we're missing some manuals and Creasorts. Would you have them? For my sister and me, please" The Slytherin boy handed the list to the manager so he could assess whether the request was available.

"Oh, I see. Well, you're in luck, I've got just the thing for you two. I'll get it ready right away! If not do you need anything else?" the bookseller asked, staring at the girl he suspected was looking for books to read outside of school textbooks.

"Well ... do you have any ... Muggle books? I mean Muggle novels or not..." the witch asked timidly, afraid of the wizard's reaction since her family had warned her that some wizards didn't like Muggles.
Fortunately, the manager was not one to reject the non-magical world. His clientele included wizards whose parents were non-magical, so he carried a few books from or related to the Muggle world.

"Yes, I own a few. They're on the side, but unfortunately the shelf is small, so I hope you'll find what you're looking for." the salesman indicated to the ravenclaw girl the shelves of books before turning to Nolan.

"What about you, my boy? What kind of books do you like?

- I like adventure books, but I also like legends. Do you have any books about dragons?" replied the Slytherin with a small air of reflection.

The young sorcerer's answer surprised the bookseller, who thought that the Drake family already owned all the books about dragons, some of which were extremely valuable. Many would give anything to read the precious books they kept. Thomas loved life far too much to venture into the Drakes' home in the face of guardian dragons.

"From this side here, my boy." just as he had done with his sister, the bookseller indicated the shelves where the young man should look.

Mr.Brun let our two young wizards wander around his store looking for books while he went to prepare the Drake's order. The bookseller sensed someone leaving quickly, though he couldn't see his face because a hooded cloak obscured his head.
