Diagon Alley was full of students and parents and tourist. Clover disliked large crowds usually but she'd actually had quite a good summer, something she didn't ever think would be possible. She'd actually made friends in England and New Zealand. She'd spent time with Cal in New Zealand and now her feet were back firmly on British soil. Her father had asked her if she'd like to switch to Hogwarts for her final year of schooling but Clover had refused. Her father offered her the opportunity every year, so that she could be closer to her parents and come home at Christmas but that was precisely the reasons she preferred being in America when it came to school. Besides, there was an absolute cutie in her year that she had to flirt with. Cal preferred blondes and his eye had caught sight of a pretty one with a boyfriend. She was loyal and that didn't exactly sit too well with Cal, but never mind, Clover was set the task of getting the boyfriend to cheat, or at least seem like he was cheating so the other blonde could turn to Cal for support and he would swoop in and steal her innocence, because of course, she was a virgin which made Cal all the more eager and Clover all the more jealous.
Stepping inside of Madam Malkin's it was cooler than outside. The summer had been great weather wise and Clover couldn't believe how warm today of all days had gotten. She hadn't really fancied getting fitted for new clothes today, she wanted to be at the beach and so she wasn't wearing a whole lot. Once she was done here she was heading to the south Devon coastline, rubbing herself in some sunblock and getting herself a few rays. She even contemplated a swim. What was the point of a trip to the coast without a little dip in the channel? But whether she chose a little dip or not was neither here nor there right now, for at the moment she was inside Madam Malkin's, the door shutting behind her, the little tinkling of the bell dying off and a woman heading towards her, a smile on her face. Oh joy.
Clover was greeted and ushered to the back of the shop after she'd given her name. Her name had been ticked off in their shop diary and it was time for Clover to be measured. She was asked to step up on the stand and so she took her place, leaving her bag on the floor and popping her sunglasses inside of it as the woman, fairly young looking, started taking her measurements. Pretty soon it was just the tape measure and the woman writing down everything she needed to know and the tape measure was very thorough. It was really quite invasive if you thought about it, but she'd have quite a few dresses and costumes made up for her for the coming year. She just had to make sure she didn't gain or lose weight, though the seamstress would be able to alter it if necessary. So Clover just stood there, on the little stand, being measure from head to toe, forehead to nose tip, chin to breasts and so on.
