There wasn't much one could do with Apothecary supplies to make a Christmassy display in the window, but Draco did his best. There was a cauldron atop a burner with hot chocolate simmering inside its belly. The whole shop smelled like chocolate, much to the owner's delight. He sipped from a snowman-shaped mug between tinsel and fairy light ( Read more... )

Jace was just coming off his "shift" at the Apothecary - that still amused him. He was a Shadowhunter - that was his calling, what his blood, quite literally, told him to be. But here he was, going to work like a mundane, the work was interesting enough - he got to experiment with potions and the like. He was even working on his "people skills" (if ( Read more... )

Paris had another nightmare, a bad one too. Graphic and violent, it make him wake up half screaming in a cold sweat. He rushed to the bathroom to splash cold water on his face. These dreams were getting bad enough that he was afraid to go to sleep ( Read more... )

While Jace wasn't exactly excited about being watched so closely as he started work at the Apothecary, the work was definitely interesting. Learning the potions, the ingredients, engaged him; he couldn't help thinking that this would be useful if he remembered it when he went back to the Institute ( Read more... )

Draco was a little surprised to received the text message from Jace. From the way the younger man had acted in the shop before, the wizard hadn't thought he was very interested in the details of the Apothecary. Of course Draco wouldn't say no to another pair of hands and a different set of knowledge hanging around - that is if Jace proved useful. ( Read more... )

It took a while to find the apothecary - one would think his sort would have better directional skills, but Remus made a long series of false turns before managing to walk down the street toward the building. Perhaps it was not just poor direction, but dread at having to confront the Malfoy boy that made Remus stray from his path more than ( Read more... )

Elphaba had a bright smile on her face as she began getting ready for the Holiday Ball. She was doing her hair and getting ready in the main room. Glinda was getting ready in the bathroom. They had decided to get ready in separate rooms so that their final look would be a surprise for the other ( Read more... )

Cedric's plans to help Lawrence had gone fairly well so far. He'd cleaned up the Apothecary basement and had managed to Transfigure a steel cage which he reasonably believed would be strong enough to contact the man in his transformed state. The Hufflepuff had kept his new friend informed of his progress and they'd agreed to meet at the Apothecary ( Read more... )

Merlin left the magic school early today to head over to the Apothecary to see Draco. He hoped the man would help him in the ruse he and Rikki were planning on implementing in order to get Arthur to see that magic wasn't all bad and that it could be used for good. It was a goal Merlin felt he needed to show Arthur sooner, rather than later, if he ( Read more... )

There wasn't that much to do besides tidying up after the day's work at the shop, and Draco was taking his time between sips of tea. he was multitasking, really, as he was also waiting for Cedric. So there was another werewolf in town. Interesting. The types of werewolves varied as much as the types of vampires in Haurvatat. So while Cedric said ( Read more... )
