Conversations in Diagon Alley
Well, he’s here in Diagon alley. With his father and…Elise. As per usual Mori insisted that they bring her along as he was afraid she was going to get “lonely” at home. Ya, maybe he should’ve been worried about all the times Dazai was probably feeling lonely when the 2 of them went out on Daddy-Daughter days.
Whatever, Dazai can’t think about that right now, he’s going to Hogwarts soon! They go to the robes shop first, where they spot a boy a few years older than him yelling at the seamstress.
“No! I want my cloak to be longer! And Dad, could I get a hat? Like a flat one that those detectives have! I’m the best detective to ever live, Dad, of course I need the hat.” The boy argues with them. Well, that boy was strange.
Dazai didn’t know many kids his age, he didn’t know many kids at all. Only Elise and his cousin Yosano really. Oh ya, and the Akutagawa siblings, Ryuuonsuke and Gin who lived nearby. The Akutagawas were the only pure-blood Japanese wizard family nearby, so Dazai had to deal with them a whole lot. Ryuunosuke, who was 2 years younger than him, looked up to him a lot. Dazai’s not too proud to admit it, but he bullied Ryuunosuke a lot, still does to be honest.
When the lady finally gets to him, Dazai stands still and lets her get the measurements. Once he’s gotten his clothes, he and his family leave. They pass Florean Fortescue's ice cream shop, and Elise starts yelling that she wants ice cream. What a brat. His father-of course- decides to give her what she wants. Go figure. Whatever, Dazai steals some money from him and sneaks off, ready to finish shopping.
He should probably run, so that his father won’t be able to catch him easily. Oh, this’ll be fun! Dazai never gets to go out by himself, this was his day. Oof! He accidentally bumped into someone. Dazai was just thinking maybe I should apologize when the stranger opened his mouth.
“Watch where you’re going you clutz! Don’t you have eyes!” The stranger yelled. He was a boy about Dazai’s age and had red hair. He was also-a fact Dazai found amusing-very short. Well, now he was the one being rude first, so he can’t blame Dazai for whatever he does next.
“Sorry” Dazai apologizes, unable to contain his giggles “it’s just…you were so small…I couldn’t see you down there.” This was a mistake.
“What did you just say?” The boy asked, glaring at him-scratch that-glaring UP at him. “Would you like to repeat that for me?”
“What? Were you so small the sound couldn’t reach your little ears?” Dazai asks, innocently.
That landed him a kick in the shins. Ow! Ow…ok, that was painful. Dazai winces and the boy walks away. You can’t just do that! You can’t just kick someone and leave. At least tell me your name he thinks then I can remember who to torture at school. He sighs, well, that was just an awful interruption of what could have been the perfect day.
