Everything was going okay, right? Yeah. Everything seemed to be on track, Salem thought as she took a seat and began reading to the children. The stories were all magical and Salem had enchanted the books to entertain the kids. With every page turned, something new and exciting came out of the book and flew around above the heads of the children. A quick glance to Neve showed that her little story area was going well, too, and another glance to Neve's "friend" showed that he too was handling things rather well. All in all Salem just tried to focus on her little area so she could give the kids the best experience possible. She wanted to do this again in the summer, so she had to make sure this was as flawless as possible, although she would possibly have someone other than Neve help out next time, not that Neve didn't seem wonderful, but Salem could have done without the lateness and a bloke in a fairy dress.

Salem spotted Neve and her friend walk in to the shop. Oh. Neve hadn't mentioned that her friend would be a man. Salem looked about but no, Neve didn't seem to be with anyone else. Oh well, the fairy dress was magical enough that it adjusted to the body of anyone that wore it, so hopefully Neve's friend would be fine in it. "Hey!" She said, coming over with a smile, she didn't want to hurry the pair but at the same time they needed to start the readings in a couple of minutes. "We each have a little area out the back. I'm right at the back, under the big tree, and you guys can pick who's at the craft table and who's reading under the arch. The crafts and books are already there and waiting" There was a floral arch out the back in full blossom. "The costumes are in the little room just behind the counter. There's a little bathroom in there where you can change. Don't be long." She smiled, she was definitely hurrying a bit but she didn't have time to ease them into their roles. She turned around and made her way through the shop, heading to the back garden.

The shop was getting busier than Salem had expected. She greeted everyone, an uncontrollable smile on her face from all the people and the excitement. "Here you go." She said, reaching across a table for a crayon for a little girl that couldn't quite reach. Salem was enjoying seeing her shop so full of people but she wished Neve and her friend would hurry up. They still had a couple more minutes but Salem wanted everything to be perfect, at least this first time, anyway.
Salem headed back into the shop from the garden, greeting more people as they looked around the shop. Everyone had a child or two or three and it was all so exciting! There were a lot of little ones that she hoped she could encourage a love of reading and adventure in. There was so much to see and do for the little ones that she hoped at least half would come back the next time!

Dipping her toes in the water. That's all she was doing. Salem had no idea if this was the sort of thing that people would like or not. This was supposed to be a fun afternoon for the kids, something in the fairy garden she'd put together out the back. She hoped to Merlin that people turned up, flyers had been out for a while now and it was finally time to get on and do this. There were drawing tables set up for kids that liked to keep their hands busy. There were costumes to wear for any children that hadn't dressed up but might want to. She had her cousin joining in with a friend that Salem had two fairy costumes for and she had both of her shop assistants in for the day to help any customers while Salem was out the back, hopefully doing a good job of keeping the children entertained.
Ten minutes to go. Salem looked out the front of the shop as people started entering. There were a few little girls dressed up as fairies and she spotted a little boy dressed as an elf. It brought a smile to her face as she greeted them all and guided them through her shop to the garden where a few little activities were set up along with a little children's reading area, however she was now beginning to think that she didn't have enough space, but she would manage. There wouldn't be anyone left out. If Neve and her friend didn't arrive soon, then Salem was just going to have to get started without them, not that it mattered, Salem was sure she could do this on her own. Maybe. Probably Yeah, she definitely could, although it would be a lot easier with others lending a helping hand with bubbles and colouring and hopefully controlling the children. Who knew what sort of stampede they could cause.

Salem had so many plans for her shop but all that she envisioned was still in her mind’s eye. There was nothing down on paper, not even a crude sketch, but she felt as though she didn’t need a sketch when it came to this place. There was no need to figure out how things would fit because it just seemed perfect, and with a little more space than she’d expected. It was clean and it was ready to go. It had been available for a fortnight or so, so Salem knew she had to be quick because a place like this wasn’t going to last long at all. Salme knew others had taken a look around the shop but would anyone actually be interested in renting the space? Salem could only presume that yes, they would be, she couldn’t be the only one, so what was she playing at? She had to get a move on. Maybe. Perhaps there might be another space? Or perhaps she was just holding out in the hopes that her dream would be snatched from her because then at least that way she couldn’t fail. Failure was great, but the chances of failing were almost crippling.
A voice pulled Salem from her doubts and she realised she’d not been paying attention to her surroundings. She looked at the gentleman that spoke to her and she took a step to the side, as though creating a space for him to join her, even though she’d never met the man before. “Oh, uh, I’m not sure yet.” She said, looking back to the building. “I thought, maybe, of putting in a bookstore.” She folded her left arm across her body and placed her right elbow in the middle of her arm, lifting her hand to her mouth and absentmindedly pinching her bottom lip gently, deep in thought about the potential for a store.

Salem thought of herself as fortunate. Very fortunate in fact. Her parents were helping to support her, helping to support her dream, a dream that she hadn't yet found but was looking for. She'd had a few different career paths following her Hogwarts graduation but none of them had been what she'd wanted. She'd tried her hardest to find something suitable, something she'd feel she'd love, but there wasn't anything that didn't bring the feeling of oppression to her heart. Salem knew that most people didn't have a choice, they had to find a job and they had very few options in leaving or bouncing around like she had done. She had her own home she lived in, she had her cat, Sneezels, and she was content with her life. Mostly. She still had to get a job and her newest idea was opening a bookstore. The idea had come from her cousin Neve and the idea had stuck with Salem. She dreamt of it, she had drawn it, she was obsessed with the whole idea of opening a book shop. She had been to four different shops so far today but none of them had really been right. She'd visited a few last week and there was one that jumped out although it was a bit on the small side for what she wanted, but it did have a lovely space out the back that she thought would be wonderful in the summertime.
Standing out the front of an empty store, its lights off and a 'Closed' notice across the front, Salem sighed. She felt like this was the one, this was the shop for her and her vision. She didn't have to fit in all the books she wanted to fit in, she would have a storage room and in there she could hold all sorts of things with all kinds of different spells. Her parents encouraged her to go for it, they wanted her to follow her dreams, but was this really the right dream to be following? Salem hoped so because the more time she spent out the front of the shop at the end of Mystic Alley, the more she felt like she belonged. It was like her life was calling out to her to get started, to take the leap and immerse herself in the world of owning a bookshop and to have fun with it. It really did seem like such the perfect job and it was certainly calling out to her as she looked up to the very top of the building.

eighteenth of february, 1957 - 23 hornbeam, dragon heartstring, 7 1/4” |
PERSONALITY Boggart: A giant spider with a massive white egg sack on its back. Suddenly the sack explodes and thousands of tiny baby spiders start scurrying everywhere.
Mirror of Erised: She'd see herself, flying on a broom across a grassy meadow, then landing at a most quintessential spot of flowers and a little stream where a picnic awaits on a classic white and red checker blanket. A good book, a chilled bottle of crisp white wine and cheese board waiting for her. Perfection.
Patronus: Manatee - The feeling she gets when a new book she's been waiting for eventually gets released! She cannot produce a patronus.
Salem is a pretty smart individual. There are a lot of things she loves to learn about. She’s got a taste for knowledge and she tries her hardest to learn as much as she can about a subject when it strikes her fancy. She’s often found with a book or two in her bag and she’s always reading in her spare time. She loves nature and will often head outside when she feels the urge to explore, which is quite often when she’s been cooped up all day. Exercise isn’t really her thing but thankfully she has a pretty speedy metabolism because she loves to bake. Like really loves it. The most exercise she gets is walking to a good reading spot, tripping over thin air, or flying. In school she was on the house Quidditch team as seeker and absolutely loved it.
Socially Salem is a little … awkward. She never really made making friends a priority and as such her interactions when she first started school were kind of lacking. She got to know her dorm mates slowly over time but that was more because they would initiate conversations. Quite often she won’t know how to strike up a conversation or how to carry it, conversations she initiate will often just fall dead because she has nowhere for it to go. This makes her feel exceedingly awkward and self aware at what a colossal failure she is at socialising. She really needs friends that can chat away for hours, unlike Salem who can only really socialise for short bursts. A couple of hours here, a couple more two weeks later, that kind of thing.
At least being quiet meant Salem didn’t really get on anyones nerves. There might be people that think she’s a little strange but because of her quiet nature and shyness she’s never really had people that don’t like her, which is good for her she supposes.
Romantically speaking Salem is still entirely innocent. Yep. She’s never even had a boyfriend. She’s had a few snogs here and there, definitely had a gazillion crushes but never gone further than that. I know! She’s a catch, all that awkward, inability to talk to guys while tripping over her own two feet, what’s not to want to sweep off her feet? Well it’s not that guys aren’t interested, there have been a couple of guys to ask her out, but she’s always been too nervous and frightened to just go for it and when asked by friends ‘What the heck!?’ she’s always managed to come up with some excuse. Guys are a real awkward thing for her and she much prefers books, walks, flying, and baking to the company of a guy, but then that could be because she’s never had the company of a guy!

Lyric was born on a mild winters day in the middle of February. Her birth mother, a pureblooded witch, was giving her up for adoption to a kind and happy couple she'd met a few times during her pregnancy. They had one son already and wanted to complete their family with another child. She was able to give them a daughter, a child she'd been calling Lyric through her entire pregnancy. It worked for a boy or a girl and she wanted something sweet and representative of her love of music. Charlie and Manny Rose loved the name enough to give it to their new baby girl as a middle name while her first name became Salem. Once home Salem was doted on by her parents, dressed head to toe in pink and frills that she'd later come to dislike in life. She was their little princess. She had been wanted so desperately for years. Manny in particular spoilt Salem, buying her gifts and treating her to something special every time they went out. Raiden was clearly Charlie's favourite and she would be firm with Salem, expecting her to be the very best that she could be. As a result Salem pulled away, retreating into her shell and finding solace in her books. Her father made her an enchanted little cupboard under the stairs where she would spend hours on end with her nose buried in a book. Her grandmother would visit frequently, teaching her to bake and cook. After being a family of four for a few years, unbelieveable news came to the couple that couldn't have children. Charlie and Manny were expecting a child of their own making. Salem wasn't really aware of what that would mean to her, but she was excited none the less. Then the news came that it was twins and things actually became a little exciting. Salem turned out to be a pretty good big sister. She liked to read to Cordelia and Otis and would often make up stories for the two of them. She was always aware that she had been adopted and that Raiden had been adopted too, but seeing babies grow that looked nothing like her was when the reality really hit. At around age eight, just before the twins turned two, Salem asked her parents some questions of where she came from and why her birth mother hadn't wanted her. It was all explained very well and left her feeling warm and pleased that she'd built up the courage to ask her parents what had been playing on her mind. Raiden went off to Hogwarts and then Salem followed two years later. Her brother was a Gryffindor and she became a Ravenclaw. It wasn't until they were at Hogwarts that Salem realised how protective her big brother was of her. She also realised what a complete moron she was when it came to socialising, but the girls in her dorm never seemed to mind too much, or at least they never said anything. Salem was never any good at reading people, so whatever they told her she'd almost entirely believe. Even though she liked her dorm mates Salem still spent plenty of time alone. She would visit the library and relax with a book until she got restless and then she'd go for a walk, taking to the grounds. She joined the Ravenclaw quidditch team and became seeker after falling in love with flying in her first year. She wasn't the competitive sought in the slightest but being involved in the game helped her feel as though she fit in a little better. It was no surprise to anyone when Salem did exceptionally well in her OWLs and NEWTs. After Hogwarts she bounced around from job to job, never really finding anything that suited her and having the luxury of parents that would help support her through life while she discovered what she wanted to do.
