"I am not a chicken," Ryan said with a slight defensive air. "I was just thinking that my dad wouldn't be able to find me down there. But then again he shouldn't be back for a while so as long as we don't stay too long I guess I will come," he added with a shrug. He wasn't afraid of the alley, after all he didn't even know that they weren't suppose to go down there, and he certainly wasn't afraid of the dark. Even if he was he would never admit it, especially to a girl.

Trixi grinned. Typical male reaction. They just hated being challenged by a girl. She had to admit the kid was good at making excuses, although it was a pretty lame excuse. Made it seem like he was afraid of his father. "Well come on then" Trixi said with a slight grin passing over the boundary and into the dark alleyway. It was very different from where they had just been. The buildings seemed very tall and their shadows fell onto the one on the other side, giving the place a very gloomy look. This things in the shop windows differed too. Rather than broom sticks and owls there were ugly toads and slugs. What looked like rotting hands and other things that were not of the norm. Trixi grinned, now this place was interesting.

"After you," Ryan said. Normally this gesture would have been out of manners, but in this particular instance he had other motives for making Trixi go first, none of which he would ever admit to.
Ryan followed Trixi through the alleyway and out the other side. Something was telling him that this wasn't that great of an idea, but he wasn't going to be the one to turn around first. The moment that he entered into the other street he knew that they weren't in the same type of atmosphere as before. Everything just seem gloomier and less inviting then Diagon Alley. Glancing at the store window only one word came to his mind, 'unique.' This unique wasn't the normal ‘hey that is unique and kind of cool’. No, it was the way his grandma used the word that he was thinking about at this precise instance. This form was a nice way of saying that it was horrendous or horrible looking. “Interesting isn’t it?” he asked walking pasted the window with the hands in it.

Trixi grinned. Chicken. Yup this place was cool. Now she knew why her step mother had banned her from entering. But who cared about that? She was here now and it wasn't like that woman could stop her. Although at that thought a slight pang of guilt swept through Trix. Brett could get in trouble for letting her out of his site, although then again, Trix could just say that Ryan forced her to go down there. Wasn't like he would know anyway.
Trixi grinned. "Lets check it out!" she said suddenly heading to the door of the shop with hands in the windows. "Looks cool" she said a glint of mischief on her face. Yup she was definately a bad influence.

Ryan just looked on as Trixi made a sudden motion towards one of the stores. He wasn't really sure why anyone, especially a girl, would want to go into that particular store. It had a run down look about it that clearly screamed creppy, but he wasn't going to appear to be a chicken so reluctantly he followed after her. He had caught the slight look of mischief on her face and wondered what he had gotten himself into. It was too late, however, to turn around now so he figured he would make the best of it. What is the worst that can happen? he asked himself as he approached the store's door.

Trixi pushed on the door of the shop. It was a large dark dusty door with a small window in it. Although the window in the door was so grubby that it was impossible to see inside though it. The door gave a large creek and finally jolted open from the pressue Trixi was putting upon it. Trixi turned and grinned at Ryan as she headed into the shop.
The shop was darker, it seemed, than the alley they had just been within and Trixi found herself having to squint to see anything through the darkness. Part of her wasn't 100% sure if she should have walked in here, the rest was excited about what might possible lay within. As her eyes began to adjust the site of what this shop actually held began to come into view. Gnarled monkey heads hung from the ceiling and the hands in the window seemed to glow and errie green. Heavy looking, dark wood tables were situated all around the dusty room, coated in their own thick layer of dust and gadgets the likes of which Trixi had never seen before.
"Wow.." was all Trix was able to htink of saying just yet.

Ryan attempted a smile back as Trixi smiled at him and only managed a small one. Everything in him was telling him that they shouldn't be here and definitely that they shouldn't be going into that store. Trixi had already entered, however, before he could express his opinion on the matter, though he didn't really know if he would have voice exactly what he was thinking anyways. She had already called him a chicken once and he wasn't really wanting to be called it again.
Deciding that he might as well just go in, he followed Trixi into the store. After his eye had finally adjusted to the light the only thought that came to his mind was that the store was creepy and disgusting. He was used to going into stores that made it a point to keep their shops clean and that didn't sell such repulsive things. 'Wow' pretty much summed it up. Ryan couldn't think of anything else to say so he just looked around.

Trixi moved over to one of the tables. Wow how fun it'd be to hang one of these in her little sisters room. Trixi grinned slyly. "Hey Ryan come check these out" she called to him accross the shop. Her voice sounded odd in the silence of the dark, dank room. It ecoed slightly, giving the room an even more spooky feel about it. Trixi was leaning over the table trying to look at a funny looking spikey silver instrument that was right at the back. It was interesting looking. She was just a tiny bit too short to reach it. Her finger's were just short of the spikes that protruded off of it. It was while she was trying to reach this that one of the objects on the far end of the table began to slowly edge it's way towards her hair which was touching the dust covered table. Trixi of course, didn't notice the object moving.

Looking up from the rather repulsive thing that he was examining he walked over to where Trixi was looking at something on a table. He wasn't really sure what she was looking at until he got right up by her, but the thing she was looking at wasn't what was concerning him. There was something trying to scale up her hair and she didn't seem to take any notice of it. "Umm...Trixi there is something that is crawling on your hair." Ryan said trying not to sound too alarmed but if it was him and he didn't know what it was that was climbing he would be a bit freaked.

Trixi stopped hr reaching for the object and turned to look at Ryan to see what he was going on about. Crawling in her hair? It was as she lifted her hair off of the table that she felt the weight of whatever it was hanging off her hair. Trixi swung her head with all her might trying to dislodge the thing from her hair, however the thing just seemed to cling on tighter. "What is it?!" she demanded suddenly of Ryan, looking at him. A slight look of terror showed on her face. Trixi threw her hands up to try and knock the thing out of her hair, smacking at it with her hands. But not being able to see it, or knowing what it is the thing just gripped her hair tigher and refused to let go. "Get it out!" she demanded of Ryan. She definately looked distressed now.

Ryan ducked when Trixi started to fling her hair about. What one earth was she trying to do? Make the thing land on him? Oh that wasn't going to happen any time soon. He wouldn't let it. "I don't know!" he exclaimed straightening up. He had no idea what it was in her hair, heck he had only been a part of the wizarding world for less that three days. How was he supposed to know what it was.
When she demanded that he get it out of her hair the first thing that crossed was that she had lost her mind. Trying to not look to alarmed he just looked at her in amazment. Seeing the distressed look on her face was enough for him. He would at least have to see if he could get it out. Hopefully, though, it wouldn't touch him as he did. "Alright hold still." he said moving closer to her to see if he could find where the thing had gone.

Trixi didn't have a clue what the thing in her hair was either, afterall she had grown up around muggles as well. But she hadn't been around magic either way. Trixi didn't usually get scared or freaked out but there was something big and metalic in her hait and she could feel it clawing its way accross her head. It suddenly jumped out on the top of her head. Trixi winced slightly as she could feel its claws digging in slightly.
When Ryan said for her to hold still she did. Shutting her eyes tightly and not moving. Hoping that he owuld be able to ge the thing off of her head. She didn't like the idea of it being there. Not one bit.

Ryan watched as the thing clamped down on the top of Trixie's head. Slowly taking his hand he reached for it. Pausing for a moment, deciding if he really wanted to touch it or not, he finally grabbed hold of it and chucked it across the room. There now that it was off Trixie they could breath easier, although he was pretty sure he would breath easier if he was outside. "Maybe we should go back outside? Who knows what else could be lurking around in here." Ryan side looking from side to side as he slowly backed towards the exit of the store.

Trixi felt the thing be lifted off of her head and a large wave of relief swept over her, along with alot of gratitude for Ryan. It was off her. She opened her eyes tentatively to see where it had gone to. She saw it lying half broken against the other wall of the store. "Yeah lets go before som..." But Trixi was cut off at that moment. For the owner of the shop had suddenly surfaced, probably arroused by the noise of the silver instrument being thrown away.
"What are you ragamuffins doing in my store!" He demanded suddenly. Trixi looked from the man and then back to Ryan. She didn't need to think twice. Trixi grabbed Ryan's arm and dragged him to the door which she flung open and ran out of.
"Come on!" she said suddenly to him, taking run down the street, in the direction they hadn't come from. Her sence of direction wasn't always the best.

Ryan groaned as he saw the shop keeper come into the room. He had been planning on being out of the store before they could run into anyone else and the last thing that he wanted was to see the shop keeper. He was pretty sure that the man wouldn't be happy with him chucking something, whether or not it was of an value, agaist the wall of his shop. Ragamuffins? he thought to himself. Oh there was no way he was going to let the man get away with calling him that. He wasn't a ragamuffin, but before he could protest or say anything he felt Trixi grab his arm and drag him from the store.
"Coming." he said running down the street after her. He had glanced back to see if the shop keeper had come after them and luckly it didn't look like it, but then again they had just ran from the store and it might take him a minute to realize what had happened.
