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! )

I was looking for a gift, actually. For a friend.
[He pauses, then looks up and smiles again.]
You might be able to help, actually. Would you mind? You know brooms better than I do.
[Actually, Turbo probably knows brooms better than a lot of wizards, and they both know it. Johan's always been a bit prone to understatement, though.]

Yeah, I can help ya. Fer starters, try a REAL broom shop. Nothin' but junk here.
[He hopes his father didn't hear that. Luckily for him, it looks like Candy is sufficiently distracted by a rare, vintage model he's stumbled across.]
'Less ya don't got much ta'spend, I s'pose. Then I dunno what ta'tell ya. If ya ask me, all cheap brooms are good fer is firewood. And Pops's hoardin', apparently.
