Short Description (50 words max): Crimbleton and Co. Booksellers is a Wizarding Bookstore and Publisher of textbooks, novels and fairy tales.
Long Description (200 words min): Located in the thick of Diagon Alley, a long, narrow store stands. The building is slightly dilapidated, but the first floor appears to brightly painted. A wooden sign with bold, sans serif characters reads:
"Crimbleton and Co. Booksellers" - Beneath it, a smaller sign reads,
"Textbooks published AND sold here." A set of french doors are propped open, inviting guests into the building.
The inside appears to be as old as time itself. Massive oaken floorboards line the floors, and the building is packed to the brim with bookshelves. Aged, dated tomes are stacked on every shelf and counter imaginable. The sales counter is bricked in with books, a tiny slot in the middle allows for the cashier to speak to a customer.
Oriental rugs line the floor, and a variety of lounges and love seats are spread about the building, most have a variety of books laying about them. An elderly woman, Amarantha Crimbleton, often sits by the fireplace or at her desk in a tiny, windowed office off in the far-back of the building. She is constantly working, always waving and offering a treat to those who greet her in her work.
The second floor of the building is filled with more bookshelves, lining an open atrium in the middle. A very orderly set of twelve desks sit, House Elves working in all of them, carefully binding books, printing books and scribbling down notes. They seem hard at work, and various signs line the Atrium: "Do not disturb." "House Elves are hard at work!" "Beware of working House Elves!" They might offer a few harsh glances to any who get too close.
Another flight of stairs can be found after weaving through several aisles of bookshelves, protected by iron bars and a gate, a sign reads: "Do not enter. Seek expressed permission from Amarantha Crimbleton before entrance!" The stairs look extremely pristine, yet dusty, as if no one had gone up them in several years.
What purpose will this shop serve other than selling things and being the home of your character? Why would people want to RP there just for fun? This will act as a textbook and novel bookstore and publisher for the public, a variety of educational books, book signings and other events will occur at the store. There are plenty of careers possible and I have plenty events in mind for trouble at the store.
