About Puddifoot's:
Nestled on a side street off the High Road in Hogsmeade sits Puddifoot's. The shop was opened as Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop and was run by Pandora Puddifoot's aunt. Few know of Madam Puddifoot's full name, as any who came in contact with her simply called her Madam Puddifoot. The shop had always been cramped, stock full of small round tables with frilly decorations covering every surface. It was a place where tacky, gaudy, and over-expressive romance could flourish. The clientele consisted mainly of regulars, and a tear-streaked face was just as common as one blinded by the happiness of forever love.

In October of 2009, Madam Puddifoot passed on, leaving the shop in the capable hands of her niece, Pandora. The younger Puddifoot breathed new life into the business by modernizing almost every aspect of the shop. The gaudy decorations and cramped style was replaced by an open room, designed for comfort rather than closeness. Couches and small tables fill the space, with a small raised platform used for events as a stage. The place still has a rather distinctive 'romantic' feel, but does not push for an overly loving atmosphere.

The Basement:
The downstairs of Puddifoot’s has been transformed from a dusty old store room into a full service safe house for werewolves. The process began shortly after Dora was bitten, and served as her personal safe zone for many years. Once Dora refurbished the place, she made sure to install nine completely functional holding cells, with an area for first aid, a lounging area, and a private meeting room. Somehow, it still functions as the store’s cellar as well.

Though it is a ministry approved safe house, Dora doesn’t particularly mind if one is registered or not. If you need a safe space to stay, and you aren’t completely mental, Dora will more than likely open her doors and allow you entrance.
