Over the next few days, Harry and Legolas kept going out, exploring the Wizarding world and causing something of a stir as people noticed and recognized the BWL and his mysterious escort. Harry giggled softly as they left a book shop and a group of older women practically swooned on themselves as he and Legolas passed them by, Legolas with his nose in a book (he quickly adapted to the hustle and bustle of Diagon) on magics used without a wand or a magical core (it would certainly help him before he got to Hogwarts, no need to give these racist people more fuel to use against Non-humans).

"I think we should go there next." Harry told him, pointing at a large and rather colorful shop that had been tucked almost out of the way from the main street. It was bright orange and purple with a man, who's arm raised and lowered a hat upon his head and a rabbit would appear on every other rotation.

Legolas looked up from his book and nodded his head, he'd seen the shop a few times over the last few days, but they haven't had the chance to actually go into it since they usually had a set plan or had to leave when the crowds got too much. And when one is trying to avoid a certain acid green wearing witch, one has to be quick to get out of dodge. Legolas put his book into his side pouch, which Sirius was most kind to magic some undetectable Wizarding space into it so he could keep more in it than he normally carried on his person.

They walked toward the colorful shop and as soon as they walked in they saw a near giant sized man vomiting endlessly into a barrel that never overflowed. Harry dipped a finger into the strange mix and realized it was gooey and sticky, sniffing it he quickly realized it was candy.

"That's the most disturbing advertisement I've ever seen for candies..." Harry mused, sucking the treat from his finger. "Eh, coconut, not my cup of tea."

Legolas just scrunched his nose up at the display, but said nothing else. The shop was packed, and not just because of the shoppers.

It was a cluttered, but organized messes. There were displays of candies, from normal Wizarding treats to specialty ones that could make one sick or change colors or shape. A wall of potions that were used for pranks either on one's self or on another, magical toys and items, a huge display of fireworks and even a display of cute furry creatures that looked like fluffy hedgehogs that were bright colors.

Many items zoomed overhead, Frisbee like objects, birds made from paper that burst into flames and turned into dragons or other winged creatures. A second floor and a third floor could be seen, more items filling them and on each floor was a curtained off area where only adults could walk in. On the first floor only adult women could enter while on the second floor adult men could enter there and on the last floor, adult men and women seemed to be going in but not everyone one of them could enter, so perhaps only people of certain interests?

The place was lively and colorful, they easily dodged children and random items as they looked around. Harry laughing when he saw a baby dragon sitting on a plush cushion inside of a protective diamond glass display case. The plaque under it stated that he was the shop mascot and didn't like to be bothered, that the glass was to protect the costumers more than the dragon. The baby was sitting up, glaring at the costumers, tail lashing as he watched for thieves. The display case had tunnels and the like that ran out of it and allover the shop, where other hubs sat with pillows and bowls of food and water. It was like a giant Hamster cage.

"He's adorable." Harry chuckled.

"Looks like a baby Smaug..." Legolas mused, looking at the bright red dragon, who was glaring up at him. "He does not seem to like me."

"He's demanding to know why you are not apart of his horde, only pretty things belong in his horde." Harry chuckled and Legolas dropped his head with a groan. "It's cute! He wants to collect you!"
