Love.

It makes the world go ‘round, it’s the breath of life, and is obviously the most powerful force in the universe. Love makes ordinary men do extraordinary things. Loooooooooooove was what made Pandora Puddifoot’s heart beat. Though often it made her heart beat faster and faster, she thrived off the thrill of first encounters – that spark of chemistry that no potion, spell, or hex could ever imitate. Seeing a beautiful face for the first time, a gentleman opening doors for the lady, a late-night drink with a random stranger – they were all ways to get to know someone, and though they all felt different, it was all still love… or lust… but loooooooooooove.

Dora was so proud to be able to hold a dating event for Valentine’s Day. Harry had said something about charity, and while that was great and all, wasn’t bringing people together charity in and of itself? A wide smile split the witch’s face as she made her way to the table, giggling slightly at the doll that directed her. Even in your own shop, you’re stuck with magical dolls flapping around your head. Not that she minded, the dolls were adorable and the decorations were just perfect! She’d tried to convince the rest of the group into even more decorations, but everyone else thought less was more… and Dora was outvoted.

Dressed in a fluffy pink dress, Dora sat daintily in her chair, and waited for her date. She was early, but how could one be ‘on time’ to their own shop? She’d been there all day, setting up and waiting for the fun to begin. The smile on her face showed that even though others weren’t as thrilled with the event as they should be, they wouldn’t dampen her spirit! This was going to be amazing!
