The Head Girls are busy, setting up before the rest of the castle will be bustling about. The Great Hall* has four new temporary additions in the form of vendor areas! Poppy hangs a banner that reads:

She smiles, happy that she has organized an event that helps give back to the school community that she loves.

Each booth is unmanned but there is an Honesty Box* for students to Pay As You Wish. Students who are short on pocket money need not fret, as the fair is mainly for goodwill and publicity. The event has been sponsored courtesy of the Diagon Alley Business Alliance and is open to all students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Anyone can approach the booths, peruse the wares, and make a few purchases from whatever is available in between eating, studying, socializing, and receiving mail in the Great Hall as usual. The vendors are spaced out along the wall opposite the High Table. Each area represents a Diagon Alley establishment.

Shop * - At the Quality Quidditch Supplies booth, students may purchase their own Quidditch balls for personal use. Quaffles are displayed out in the open, and Bludgers and Golden Snitches are confined and stilled in crates and boxes. Quidditch Starter Kits and Broomstick Servicing Kits are neatly stacked. Sports equipment like gloves, helmets, guards, and googles are arranged together. A table contains a variety of Quidditch jerseys and robes from various professional teams. Next to the Honesty Box, a small sign reads, “Maximum limit one of each item per student.”

Shop * - The Spindlewarps Wool Shop area is very organized, with two tables and a bookcase surrounding the booth where payment is deposited. The case is stocked with never-tangle wool in tidy skeins in what seems like every color imaginable. Beside it, the first table is topped by one giant divided tray that holds a unique and interesting button in each compartment. The other table holds a variety of notions and tools like knitting needles, crochet hooks, dainty scissors, measuring tapes, sewing needles of all widths, and project bags.

Shop * - Pet owning students won't be disappointed to see a stall featuring items from the Magical Menagerie. Things like rat tonic, fang brushes, and talon clippers are have been placed for sale in rows. There is a wide selection of treats for creatures that are commonly pets, especially the creatures allowed specifically for Hogwarts First Years in their letters. The Magical Menagerie stall is rounded out with some books for the care of household pets.

Shop * - The final shop generous enough to take part in the fair is Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. One table is dedicated to Boys' and Girls' Uniform Packs and Cloak Packs, available in all sizes for each of the four Hogwarts houses. Dress robes and travelling cloaks are temptingly exhibited. Madam Malkin has also sent beautiful winter gloves made of chameleon skin, charmed leather, and dragon-hide (“essential for Herbologists, Magizoologists and those experimenting with their first Fire-Making Spells”)! Those gloves may come in handy at the end of term...

The Head Girls return to their beds, ready to sleep a little before the day really begins in earnest.
