WHO Meredin Troy and Phoebe Smethwyck
WHEN Thursday afternoon.
WHERE Diagon Alley.
WHY Because they are windowshoppers!
RATING/STATUS tbd. open, incomplete.

Merry was excited to have a reason to get out of his house. He spent twenty minutes telling his mother that he was going to Diagon Alley with a friend and that he'd be back before it got dark. Truth be told, if Meredin was still having fun by dusk, he'd stay out. But it wasn't something he should tell his mother if he wanted to get out. After convincing her it was alright, she too got her cloak on and walked him to the end of the drive, before Side-Along Apparating him. He knew it was a lot of work for her to do that and he had tried to convince her otherwise, but he couldn't.

Getting into the Alley, he told his mother that he would be okay and she finally left. He felt pleased to finally be by himself. He walked down to the archway into Diagon Alley where he told Phoebe he would be standing and he could only wait. He was somewhat excited to finally be spending some time with his friends and he rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet as he waited.
