 The Leaky Cauldron is a popular wizarding pub in London. It is the entrance to Diagon Alley, and, indirectly Knockturn Alley. For much of the end of the 20th century, Tom was the landlord. At some point, Hannah Abbott became the landlady, moving in with her husband, Neville Longbottom. The last person to own the pub was a noblewoman from Norway, who has kept with the original feel of the establishment.
It was built by Daisy Dodderidge, the first landlady, in 1500. She said that it was, "to serve as a gateway between the non-wizarding world and Diagon Alley." It rented rooms, had a bar, several private parlour rooms, and a large dining room.
To Muggles, the pub appears to be a broken-down old shop front on Charing Cross Road. The rear of the pub, however, opens up onto a chilly courtyard and the entrance to Diagon Alley. To gain access, a witch or wizard has to tap the bricks in the wall in a anti-clockwise order, causing a doorway to Diagon Alley to form and then rearrange itself back into the original wall after the person(s) walk through.

Gearvin followed Nicole and then held open the door for her to the establishment. As he entered after her, his eyes adjusted. The place was much the same, except for a few changes. Most of them seemed mostly rearranging things and cleaning up, but otherwise it was very much the same establishment. He listened to Nicole's talk about her own children, a slight smile on his face. He was actually happy for her, considering that when they had first met (that he could remember at the very least), she had been nervous and skittish. He never tried to pry into her private life, since even though he had a nasty tendency to intercede when needed, he didn't think it was necessary. "It is good to hear that your children are doing well. If I recall correctly, Timothy does not speak much, if at all. I do hope he doesn't have any issues due to that." No, he was not going to start prying into why the boy was mute, even if his own curiosity was going to eat at him. It was not his place, as he was neither the boy's father or related to him.
Propriety helps to keep a distinction between those that have pride, and those that have none.

Unsorted * Future First Year * Halfblood
Claire rolled her eyes as Catharine introduced herself, "...The name is Claire. Claire Alexandrie." Claire then glared, "I also don't care too much about dates, but I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one not getting one." She replied bluntly.
As Claire opened the door to the Leaky Cauldron, her mood shifted, her eyes and tone of voice returning to the faked politeness she put on, "...Here is the Leaky Cauldron Catharine..."
Claire then eyed Catharine suspiciously, "I could take you to Diagon Alley if you want."
Claire then thought for a bit, "You going to Hogwarts soon or something?" She said, still in her...sugar mode as she called it.
The half-witch called her two sides bitter mode and sugar mode, since she was in sugar mode the majority of the time, she didn't have to go into bitter mode.

Catharine could have, would have slide in a snide remark, but held her tongue as the door opened to a small sink hole of a pub. This couldn't be right. A wizarding establishment should be... well, more impressive! Still she followed the other girl in, vaguely listening and then wished she hadn't been.
The sugar was going to kill her, she gave in and rolled her eyes. Then she found her eyes darting around the place. It wasn't filled with many people. A couple of ladies in a shadowy corner sip on some sort of liquor, a few people drifted towards the back. . .Why? Laying folded out on a table near her was a paper, with... She blinked. Did that picture just move?
"Um...ah...yeah, it'd be nice to know where it is. . ." She said picking up the paper. She scanned through the front page. It was amazing. It was written like a patchwork quilt, wildly and randomly curving. It was inpractical, almost foolish. How did you read it? Where did you start? Yet just scanning over it brought a small smile to her face. She vaguely registered, the other girl's words. She blinked and glanced at her. Blasted she had said her name, hadn't she? What was it Clary? Cherry? DARN IT!
"Yeah, um... September the 1 will be my first day. What you going there too or have you already had the chance to grace the hallways?" |

Claire just resisted the urge to roll her eyes, she could FEEL the snideness from the other girl, at least she held it in.
Claire then watched, in amusement, as Catharine picked up a newspaper and tried reading it.
Muggles really were funny.
"It's in the back..." She started walking over to the table Catharine was at, "You just tap on the bricks in a certain order and you'll be there."
Claire then grinned, "This pub...is the gateway between the muggle world and the wizarding world."
Claire then blinked, so she would be going to Hogwarts? At the same time? ...Oh the pranks she could get ready.
"You'll enjoy it there I'm sure." Claire then sighed as she took out her wand and started playing with it, "Just tell me when you're ready to head on to Diagon Alley."
Claire's eyes then scanned the daily prophet that Catharine was holding, "Someone died? ...How sad." Muggleborns had fallen asleep? At Hogwarts? Was Victor included?
Claire looked worriedly at the paper, she didn't ever admit it, but she had a slight fondness for the Frenchman.

"Hm, yes, looks like we'll be going with greater security," Catharine muttered before turning the page. There wasn't much else there. She paused on a interesting advert.
Quote:
Quintessential Quiet Quite Trunk
For the Wizard or Witch on the go, go, go nothing keeps your items safer, neater, or cleaner. Never fear a wrinkle on your lovely dress robes or take perilous precautions with your potions again. The Quintessential Quiet Quite Trunk can hold and handle it all without a squeaky hing or packing pains. Fill it with all you need and never need to press.
Now only 10 sickles!
She raised an eyebrow. 10 Sickles...there was money? This world had it's own money. Beyond that it had it's own government? 'It's dangerous, Lovelet. It's filled with dangers and death. . .and few will care if your hurt,' her mother had said. She pushed the words away, yet she could feel a pang in her stomach. There had been an attack, murders...deaths. She folded the paper and looked at the story about Hogwarts again.
Quote: "...summer's attack on Circus Maisc which left numerous dead and is thought to be the work of Lord Xilan."
Lord Xilan, clearly a dangerous fellow. Would she be left alive if she didn't go forward? Would she be safe? Yet she couldn't keep 'accidentally' hurting her classmates or turning her teacher's false hairs into dogs. This pub had been hidden, she recalled how others outside had glanced beyond this place. It was a gateway, just as the girl said. This government... it wouldn't let her just keep using her powers with reckless control and she didn't want that. She wanted control. She'd be lying if this didn't scare her a bit, but. . .
"Yes, it is sad," she murmured then looked over at the girl. Truly she needed to get this girl's name again. "So...you um. . .your still willing to show me Diagon Alley? Or are you flipping that wand to show off?"

Tabitha listened without really meaning to the girls' conversation. They were going to Hogwarts too? She was surprised. She thought she was the only one. Well, actually, no. That was a lie. She knew better, seeing as she was sisters with two witches. She observed them looking over an article in a newspaper one of them picked up, and her eyes widened when she heard the words, "Someone died?" Wait, who? Was it one of her sisters' friends? Was that why they never talked about school around her?
Tabitha chewed on her lower lip, worrying it and wondering, until she couldn't take it any more. She looked directly at the two girls, hoping they didn't mind her coming into their conversation. "Wait, what happened? Someone died? Who?"

Claire was worrying about Victor, was her cousin safe? the article said the students woke up...and Victor certainly wasn't the girl who died, but he was muggleborn.
Claire then coughed a bit as she put her worry aside, "...Yeah. Security." What was going on anyway?
Claire then looked up, "...It wouldn't be showing off if I could give you kelp hair." She lied again, like she could even do that, she could barely brew a potion!
Would hurt to lie though...
As Claire turned on her heels to go towards the back of the pub, she stopped as another girl had spoken up, "...Some unknown girl." Claire then put her smile back on, "Muggleborns were the ones in danger, but it passed."

It didn't take too long for Claire to show up at the Leaky Cauldron, though it did take much longer than the girl had originally anticipated. For that, she was feeling a little guilty, but figured she'd make it up to her little sister somehow - a shopping spree would just be the start of it... besides, there was nothing like shopping in the streets of Diagon Alley. Not in the Muggle world at least. Claire spotted her sister from the window talking to a group of young girls who appeared to be roughly her age. 'Making friends already, Tabitha?' Claire thought with a smile as she entered the pub.
As she neared them, Claire overheard their conversation about the events in Hogwarts. Tragic, indeed, but it was all over and done with and she didn't want to dwell in the past too long.. no, she wanted to stay focused on the future ahead of her. "And hopefully it won't ever happen again." She added to Claire's statement before smiling to Tabitha and the other girls. "I'm here~ Sorry for making you wait Tabitha, I'll make it up to you I promise." She said to her sister as she petted the young girl. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?"

Catharine was sure there must be some sort of magical luck at work. Else her temper would have caused the words, 'Not before I snap it and shove it down your throat' would have tumbled from her mouth. Part of her wondered why this magical force hadn't been there while she was growing up. Perhaps it had something to do with the newpaper. . . or maybe it was just pure luck.
Whatever the case or cause, she was saved from answering the retort with her temper and could instead direct her attention to a less annoying figure. Two actually, for not long after no had appeared, another had followed. Where did these young witches appear from she was at a loss to answer, but it was something she'd figure out. A small part of her clap it's hand eager for all the reading that awaited her in future. The majority focused on the two newcomers and the small shy smile we managed to place on her face.
"Um... I wouldn't say friends. Ah we just met and all, but um....," she glanced at the other girl. Whose names was still off in the dead zone of her memory, but before her temper could flair at this pathetic gap in her otherwise flawless memory she continued, "She was just inquiring into the article... Ah, I don't want to seem boorish. What with the lack of introductions....I'm Catharine, by the way...Just that, I mean...
Surely it couldn't happen again. I mean...thing are secure now right? I figure Hogwarts has things in place and all to make sure it doesn't happen? Plus they'd not let the lot who did this get away? Right?"
