The metallic bell chimed as a skinny boy walked into the music store. The cashier paid no attention, teenagers had been walking in and out ever since summer break began. The boy was tall and gangly, he moved in a way that mimicked a puppy still growing into its paws. His clothes were a size or two too large and his hair was unruly and wild. Overall, he had a general air of unkemptness. He seemed to be wandering around aimlessly. The cashier looked up from her magazine and looked at the boy who was now staring at a Pink Floyd poster with his head cocked to the side.
"Haven't you seen concept art of 'The Wall' before?" she asked. The boy was snapped out of his trance, "No, I haven't. I'm not even sure what that is." "The Wall? Pink Floyd? Roger Waters? The pretentious rock fans favourite?" The boy shrugged his shoulders "What, have you been living in a bloody cupboard?" the girl asked incredulously. "Well, you could say that," he smirked "Actually I came here because I don't know much about mug-uh, modern music, or any type of music to be honest."
The girl threw aside her magazine and brought her fingers to her lips. "A blank canvas that I can paint however I'd like, what did I do to deserve this?" she stated in a melodramatic manner. "Er, are you alri-" "I'VE NEVER BEEN BETTER," she yelled, wiping imaginary tears from her eyes "I'm going to introduce you to so many bands, I hope you've got a good record player, or CD player, or you could just stay here! OK, so-" The boy stared with wide eyes at the girl who was currently revealing her plans to make him"the greatest music aficionado the town of Little Whinging ever saw." Though she was talking a thousand words a minute and was slightly intimidating, the boy was grateful for her company.
The girl paused mid-sentence and looked into the boy's green eyes, "Fucking hell, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Liz, what's your name?"
"I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
