Well, that's a problem. Adia gives the saleslady a helpless shrug. "I'm not a witch," she explains. "My friend's stuck somewhere, and I'm assuming she needs to make a potion or something to get free..."

"I can give you the other ingredients, at least," says the salesgirl. "If you head further into the shopping district, there are a few other magical shops. One of them might have a basilisk scale." She scoots around the counter and heads to the back of the store again. "Let me grab the patchouli and the mugwort, I'll be right back."

After she disappears, Adia looks down at Crookshanks again. "Is there a store in the Nexus Hermione likes to visit?" she asks him. "That may be a better bet for the basilisk scale." She eyes the holster. "How are you going to get this stuff back to her?"
