Arjun was in Diagon Alley for some other purpose, but he stopped in front of the Quality Quidditch supplies shop anyway. Flying had always held his interest, and there were some new broomsticks on display. He did not plan to buy them. He already had a decent broom and it was no good wasting money on a new one without any real need for it. Still, they were worth having a look at.

Brandi was sitting on the front steps, filling out some shipping orders; humming as she did so. Glancing up to see a young man stop at the shop's window, she smiled. "Fasted racing brooms on an international level, those ones." Brandi had stood up and moved over to lean against the corner of the window. "You play quidditch?" She asked curiously.

"Fasted racing brooms on an international level, those ones." "You play quidditch?"
Arjun smiled politely and nodded. "I do, sometimes," he said, "The game has always been my favourite." Just like many of the other wizards and witches, he too loved Quidditch. At the time when he studied in Hogwarts he used to play it a lot but now he tried to play it in weekends and during other holidays.

"Cool." Brandi said simply, "What kind of broom do you have?" She asked, genuinely interested. It was interesting to see how people liked their brooms, or hated them. It was like getting a review that would help future customers find their perfect broom. Plus it would tell Brandi not to order and what to order more of. She herself could vouch for the fasted international racing brooms.

"Cool." , "What kind of broom do you have?"
"Nimbus 2001," Arjun replied, "Not exactly the best available broom in the market, but convenient enough for me." He smiled at the girl. "OI am not planning to get a new one yet, but just having a look."

She nodded thoughtfully, the Nimbusalways had reliability. "They're good. Though I have to say, I prefer the newer Firebolts and Hurricanes to the Nimbus. Much faster." She said, "I play seeker for Slytherin, so speed is essential."
Brandi smiled, "I figured that you weren't. Most people looking at new brooms go into the shop."

Arjun smiled. "I know, as my sister never forgets to remind me. She owns a Firebolt," he said. "But I am used to my broomstick. I own it since I was in school."
"I figured that you weren't. Most people looking at new brooms go into the shop."
Arjun laughed at this. "Thats right," he said.

"Well as long as it's reliable, why not? My dad still has an anceint Comet, except I've done a bit of hotrodding to it over the years. No longer can it be outraced by butterflies." Brandi smiled fondly at the memory.
"So do you want to come in for some coffee or tea? It's been pretty quiet today, so the manager brought in donuts and drinks for everyone, there's probably some left." She offered. It didn't really matter to Brandi if he was going to get anything or not.

Arjun thought about it. He surely had some time to spare, and it seemed good offer to go inside the shop. "I think I would come inside," he said, "I just remembered I needed some broomstick polish."

"Good time to get it. It's on sale." Brandi commented, entering the shop and heading for the back desk. A pot of coffee was steaming happily, and a stack of donuts was piled beside it. She glanced around with a frown for the kettle. "There you are!" She snapped her fingers at the kettle, which appeared to be hopping away. It turned back and returned beside the teacups. "Sorry bout that." Brandi apoligised to the man. "Some little tot came in here and she had a very broad imagination i suppose. Our kettle has been hopping on its own ever since." Pouring a cup of coffee for herself and adding milk and sugar she asked, "What would you like, Mr...." She realized she didn't know this mans name.

"Good time to get it. It's on sale."
"Thats good," Arjun replied. He needed to get more than one can of polish anyway. He usually was very busy. It was a surprise to him he had some time to spare this day. .
"There you are! "Sorry bout that." "Some little tot came in here and she had a very broad imagination i suppose. Our kettle has been hopping on its own ever since."
"Oh thats ok," Arjun replied with a chuckle. He was used to looking at different things hopping around his house because of his sister Krutika.
"What would you like, Mr...."
"Arjun Gehi," he said. "Coffee will do," he added politely.

"Wonderful to met you Mr. Gehi. I'm Brandi Monsoon, everyone calls me Brandi though." She said over her shoulder as she poured out two cups of coffee. "Milk? Cream? Sugar?" She asked, dropping three sugars and some half and half in.
Making the coffee to his taste she passed it to him and took a seat on one of the stools by the counter. "I used to come in here all the time to chat about brooms." Brandi said, glancing around the shop. "That's how I got this job essentially. What is it that you do?"

"Wonderful to met you Mr. Gehi. I'm Brandi Monsoon, everyone calls me Brandi though."
"Nice to meet you, Brandi," Arjun said, "And please call me Arjun."
"Milk? Cream? Sugar?"
"Just two spoons of milk," Arjun said. He accepted the coffee with a smile. "Thank you." he said.
"I used to come in here all the time to chat about brooms.""That's how I got this job essentially. What is it that you do?"
"I am training to be an Auror," Arjun said, "I am in the second year of the training."

"Congradulations. That's a pretty tough job, I hear." Brandi commented, sipping at her coffee.
Her eyes breezed across the room, resting on the polish. "So you have a Nimbus right?" Brandi said, not really thinking so much on his broom as on the polish best for it. SHe left her coffee on the table and went to grab several jars of polish from the back. Returning she placed them carefully before Arjun. "OKay, so we have a sale on; buy 2 get one free. Thing is, it's actually cheaper to get a large size." She gestured to the large and much taller tin. "These are all created to help protect your broom from the usual: wind, rain, daily scratches and so forth." Brandi ticked off the list with her fingers. "Anyways, this stuff here.... it helps repell more then that. It helps repell charms: like being blasted to pieces, set on fire and all that. It's got some really long list if you want to see it." She explained easily.
