Fortune

There’d been a short conversation between her mother and her about her goals in life and how she planned on achieving them when she’d visited the brownstone the day before. Shavari was always a strong-willed girl to get the grades in school, and she always knew what she was striving for. The problem was that she was already 21-and-a-half years old and where was she? Shavari had been working at Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions for a year and a half. She knew that the job in Diagon Alley was intended to be temporary to build a resume and to have a recommendation, but she guessed she’d gotten too comfortable in the position at Madam Malkin’s. Not that she liked it there, by all means, but Shavari guessed she just forgot about her life plan with the exhaustion she received from working at the robe shop. Although it wasn’t necessarily a pleasant discussion with Parvati in terms of it being brought up out of the blue, and although it did make her feel a bit anxious and a bit stupid and a bit disappointed in herself, she was mentally thanking her mother for snapping her out of what she guessed was a rut she didn’t even know she was in.

And yes, Diagon Alley resembles the muggle world to a great extent on Boxing Day ... Albeit more so with haggling customers than any real deals from the shops, but all the same ...
