A New School Year [OPEN LOG]

It's almost time for school! Time for the yearly trip back to Diagon Alley. New books, potion ingredients, and robe fittings? Absolutely. First years? Go get your wands. More importantly, now's the time to catch up with old friends and see how they've been over the summer.
If it's your first time to Diagon Alley, maybe you can catch someone heading in to show you the way? Don't worry, there's always a helpful witch or wizard about to guide the Muggleborns to the right location if they get a little lost!
( Kicking things off with a quick and easy log! Threads may take place anywhere in Diagon Alley, with any characters that will be heading to Hogwarts. Feel free to threadjack, threadhop, or create multiple threads depending on if you want others to hop in when you change locations! Most importantly, have fun! )

Finn! How are you?

[He lifts a small bag with a few of his purchases with a grin.]
I'm seriously jazzed about Care of Magical Creatures this year. I was hopin' I'd be able to buy an owl too, since I can't bring Jake to school, but I don't have enough cash for one.
[Birds are expensive man.]

[But then he frowns. If he had money he'd lend it to him, but sadly he had just enough to get his supplies this year and that was about it.]
How short were you?
no subject
[Well, give or take a bit, but not NEARLY enough to pay for an owl. C'est la vie.]
