Sellaphix Apothecary
Owned by Rafe Sellaphix and Zelda Sellaphix, this apothecary located just inside Knockturn Ally has been in the family for generations. Until recently, it had a solid reputation for doing everything by the book. Much of its business has always been deliveries because of its unpopular location.
The shop was closed since October 2008 until summer 2009, following a runespoor venom explosion and Rafe Sellaphix's arrest and conviction. It closed for a few months in autumn 2011 when Zelda was ill.

Description
The apothecary is a very thin building, sandwiched in between two others. It's two stories tall with a shallow cellar. Its main entrance is located on Knockturn Alley, with the back door opening into a much smaller alleyway.
The main floor of the shop is open up to the second level, with wrought iron balconies and supports. In the back of the shop is a large woodwork desk with many nooks, drawers, slots and alcoves. Winding stairs lead up and back to access the second level. There's an office upstairs, and a back room.
