jiarookwood:
“Can I help you with anything?” Jia asked when she noticed the other looking at various types of sweets. “Are you in a mood for something more specific or just looking around? We’ve got this cotton candy-flavoured gum recently and it’s to die for,” she gushed.
“Cotton candy flavoured gum?” Molly repeated, “That sounds delicious, I’ll absolutely grab one of those- what else would go with it?”
lucilleweasleys:
“Right?” she smiled. “It’s nice to see everyone come together. Maybe that can help us grow stronger so that we can band together if things take another turn,” Lucy added, not wanting to think that way but with Death Eater activity rising every day it was inevitable that they’d strike again. “Of course, molls! I want this place to be up and running as soon as possible too,” she insisted with a smile. “If we need an extra hand we have a whole army of a family to reach out to,” Lucy added, laughing softly.
“If you think about it, it really didn’t work the way that they wanted to. No one is really separated at all,” She agreed with her sister, in a way glad that this was the outcome rather than everyone rising against each other. “If you want to help, dinner is on me today. No arguments- it’s the least I can do for all your amazing help.”
matthewasprey:
“I don’t think there is much that could stop her. Scared or not, she’s a tough one.” Matthew answered with a wry smile and a shake of his head. He doubted there was anything that could keep Melora down for long. “Right so where can I make myself useful. Can a spell fix any of the broken items?”
“That’s always a good trait to have, though. Nothing can stop her.” She laid compliment to Melora, “I think we should focus on the glass first, a clear floor might help us in the long run- what do you think?”
elliesgreengrassgrows:
“I was out there helping people. Everyone was so badly injured. It was so hard to help everyone, but then the guilt of not.” Ellie replied, “Yourself?”
“You were right in the middle of it?” Molly asked with a frown, she was hoping for anything but that. “I’m sure you did the absolute best that you could, you shouldn’t feel guilty about that.” She replied. “I got caught up in the beginning but luckily no injuries from me.”
lucilleweasleys:
“It’s difficult to be in Hogsmeade, of course. But we’ll never reach a sense of normality or stability again if we don’t all work together to build it back up again, you know?” Lucy pointed out, trying to assure her sister that was okay. She wasn’t going anywhere anyways. “You’re right, there does seem to be more mess in here than I thought possible. It’s nothing we can get rid of together though,” she added supportively to Molly.
Molly was constantly pleasantly surprised of her sisters wiseness and bravery, putting herself in places of uncomfort to help others. “I’ve been seeing a lot of that lately, like everyone has a new sense of community.” Molly commented in agreement. “Tell me if you change your mind, okay? You don’t need to stay here for longer than you feel comfortable.” She promised. “I had no idea there was this much space in here,” Molly laughed, maybe there was a benefit to it all with more opportunities to redo things and hopefully improve. “Thank you, Luce- I really appreciate your help. I’m hoping to get at least the majority of it done so we can open sooner,” She replied, although even with that it may take a while for the confidence of customers to rebuild.
claraarquette:
“I imagine this is how I make them feel regularly given my choice of career so I do feel guilty for that.” She admitted, a soft frown finding its way across Clara’s features when Molly mentioned how two of her cousins were in St Mungo’s. “I can’t imagine how that must feel for you but at least they are recovering. I’m so thankful for that at least. “Me? Honestly, sometimes I feel like I haven’t had enough time to slow down and consider how I feel. If I’m not working, I feel like I’m trying to make others feel better.” She paused for a moment wincing. “And man that was not supposed to come out how it sounded. I wasn’t talking about you. I am so sorry!”
“The best news is that they’re recovering, and they should be out of hospital soon. It’s much better than the alternative,” Molly replied, she tried to think of all the more positive things rather than the negative- the negative would just make her spiral further. “Oh, no, don’t worry about it!” She spoke with a laugh, “I appreciate it nevertheless!” She exclaimed, “You should be taking some time for yourself, burn out will only make it worse. Do you have any leave banked up?”
matthewasprey:
“Yeah, she was alright. Just shaken up which is to be expected really considering what happened and the outcome.” Because not everyone had been so lucky. Some had been injured and others had lost their lives. Melora had every right to be frightened at the situation they’d found themselves in. Merlin knows, he’d been scared too despite his want to help others. “So what are we looking at, damages wise in here?” He asked.
“Of course, I’d be more concerned if she wasn’t even a little bit shaken up now. Has she been able to leave the house much?” Molly replied with a small shake of her head. She hoped that everyone was able to get the time they needed to heal and recover. She sighed as she looked around the room, it definitely was more than Molly had expected. “Some of the display furniture is broken, most of my stock will need to be reordered and a few windows,” She explained, wishing that list was a lot shorter than it actually was.
sujinjinsu:
“No, I haven’t even technically had my first day yet but just looking around has been… I can see it’s not going to be an easy job. I popped in to do some transfer paperwork and it was very…” She paused to find the English word she wanted. “… chaotic.” Sujin smiled. “That would be nice.” She nodded. “I can do lifting, and I’m stronger than I look so it’s okay if it’s heavy.” She headed towards the bags that had been pointed out, picking up as many as she could manage. “Where are we taking them?”
Molly made a frown at her words, feeling bad for the other as just from listening it felt like it was shaping up to be quite the stressful period. “Did they prepare you for any of it when you signed the papers or are they planning on throwing you in the deep end?” Molly asked, not being able to help the concern that often showed on her face. “Probably stronger than me, I’d imagine. I just need to place them outside, there’s someone coming around to pick it all up later today. You’ll tell me if it’s too much?”
cclmmccarthy:
“You know, I don’t think you can call yourself a real healer…” Colm uttered, tongue sticking out the side of his mouth as he concentrated on what he was working on. “If you didn’t start with this patient.” There was a moment’s silence before a screech filled the air, followed by red flashing, causing Colm to jump in surprise, tossing the tweezers in frustration. “Fucking stupid wishbone!”
Molly watched as the other struggled with the game, attempting to keep any laughter down to a minimum. “Are you going to let the game win?” She asked with a raise of her eyebrows
rcxanneweasley:
“I came to ask you the same question, actually,” Rox said. “And then when you inevitably say no, I’ve got burgers from your favourite cafe to try and convince you to let me help you.”
Molly gasped before asking, “How did you know that’s exactly what I wanted?” She laughed, a large grin spreading across her features at the thoughtful gesture from her younger cousin. “Thank you, Roxy. I definitely need a bit of a break. What did you pick up?” Molly asked
gabelarkin:
“That’s really nice of you, thank you,” he said when he realized it was hard to deter her off her path. “Today? Not so much. I think people are a little afraid to step out into the streets of Hogsmeade still. I get it, this place has seen better days but we need business around here to be able to properly rebuild once more. Magic can only do so much.”
“Of course,” Molly replied, waving it off. Even without the special circumstances Molly wouldn’t have accepted it; she knew personally how expensive things could get. “Hopefully it turn around soon, maybe in the next coming days as people get more confident to go out more. Did you have many damages?”
claraarquette:
“Not a problem at all. If there was ever a time we needed to stick together, it would be now.” Clara answered, looking around the shop to survey the damage and see if there was anything she could do. Maybe there was even someone she could get to help with it. “My family… I mean alright I guess. It’s shaken people up and it’s hurt people but I’m glad that they are still in one piece and with me. It’d kill me if anything had happened to them.”
“You’re completely right, I’d be surprised if it didn’t boost everyone’s community spirit.” She replied, maybe that would be the only positive to come out of it all. “That’s so good, I’m glad they’re all okay, Clara.” Molly responded with relief, she was glad for anyone who made it out with minimal injuries. “Two of my cousins are healing after going to the hospital, I can’t imagine how it would be if it was any worse than they ended up.” Molly commented with a sigh, although she wished that no one had gotten injured in the first place, Molly was thankful that it wasn’t any worse. “And you? How are you feeling?”
rcsegrngrwsly:
Rose quickly hugged her cousin back, perhaps a bit tighter than it was necessary. “I’m all good, I was home when… everything happened,” she said slowly. “I wanted to check on everyone, see if there’s anything I can do to help,” she motioned at the store.
Molly accepted the tight hug and reciprocated the level of it; the hug was obviously something that Rose needed and Molly wasn’t going to stand in the way of it. “That’s great, Rosie- I’m so glad you weren’t caught up in any of it.” She responded, she wished more people had gotten as far away as Rose had. “Is everyone you know doing okay?” Molly asked, “I’m okay, most of my stock and furniture isn’t looking so great, but it can be fixed.” She replied, trying to make it seem better than it actually was.
matthewasprey:
“Well I’m not sure I’d go to that extent but I appreciate that sentiment, Molly.” Matthew answered with a little smile. “I’m sorry that everything hit harder than you anticipated though. It’s not a pleasant thing for anyone to go through. I don’t know how I’d be feeling in your position but at least you are alright. That’s really the most important thing even if it isn’t much of a comfort right now.” He offered, as he moved to start helping to clean up. “Me? I mean I was out of there fast enough. I would have stayed if I was on my own but I was with a friend.”
“I certainly would, you should take it and run.” She teased with a laugh. “Exactly, everything here is replaceable,” Molly replied, although she wished that nothing had to be replaced, it was shaping up to be more expensive than she originally thought. Molly tried to stop herself from thinking about what could have been, considering all the injuries and damages everyone else had gone though she had gotten out pretty lucky. “That’s good,” She spoke with relief, it was a horrible thing for anyone to have gotten caught up with. “Was your friend okay?”
sujinjinsu:
“Yeah, I’m one of the new aurors. I just got here a few days ago.” Sujin explained. She shrugged, “It’s okay, I don’t need anything urgently so I’ll just wait until you get new stock.” Sujin just nodded and stepped forward, rolling up her sleeves. “Where should I start?” She glanced around surveying the damage once more before asking. “Were you here? When… Sorry, you probably don’t want to talk about it.”
“Oh, what a time to start working,” She lightly joked, trying to lift the spirits even a little bit. “Have you started yet? I’m sure it’d be busy in those offices.” Molly replied, feeling bad for the other who would have been thrown into the job at such a time. “Would you like me to take your name and number so I can tell you when it’s here?” Molly offered. “Are you able to lift things? I’d love a little help moving some of these bags out?” She asked, not wanting to assign too hard of a job to her after offering so kindly.
crlandclcckhart:
“I know, but have you noticed the time. What self respecting customer would come this late in the evening?” When Orlando had seen the lights still on in the little shop, he’d come to the conclusion that she was working too hard. As it happened, it seemed as though Molly had been working so hard that time had escaped her. “So here I am, come to steal you away for dinner and alcohol.” He stated simply, toying with a hat from off one of the stands, twirling up onto his head. “Since I assume you’ve not taken care of your basic needs today.”
Molly laughed in response, “You’re not wrong, I feel like I’d still be turning them away even if we were open.” She replied, he definitely was right in more ways than one. Molly’s mind had been so concerned with the cleanup ahead of her that she hadn’t taken much of a break to get something as basic as food. All that was on her mind was that this- or at least a majority of it needed to be done before tomorrow, she couldn’t go another day closed. “That sounds like a great idea,” Molly spoke, she didn’t realise how much she needed a break until it was mentioned to her. “What do you fancy?”
franklcngbcttcmii:
He greeted Molly upon coming in, despite her saying the store was closed for the day. “I actually came to see if you needed any help,” Frank admitted. “Quite a few places got heavily affected by recent events and I’d love to lend a hand however I can,” he admitted. “Besides, you’re like family to me after all. Tell me what I can do for you, okay? You deserve all the help to get this place up and running again that you can get.”
“Oh, Frank, that’s really thoughtful of you. I’d really appreciate that, so long as there’s not anyone else who could use your help more,” She responded with a smile, she did appreciate any help as the job ahead looked like it would be a long one. “Are you sure you're free? I could use some help moving the furniture back to their spots,” Molly admitted, she didn’t like to complain or ask for help especially considering she wasn’t the only one going through the troubles.
