Date of Scene: 18 April 2023

Synopsis: When Harry met Sabrina. It was an interesting crossing of paths.
Cast of Characters: Harry Dresden, Sabrina Spellman




Harry Dresden has posed:
The cozy little shop has a young lady working behind the counter. SHe occasionally glances at the man in the back. She seems familiar enough and at ease with him, but still mindful anyway.

To her credit, there are few places the man at the back shelf would fit in. His unkempt hair and bloodshot eyes say he probably hasn't been sleeping recently and while his height is imposing, he is physically fit not muscular monsterous.

He talks to himself as he thumbs through a book from the shelf. Occasionally, he jots something down in a notebook on the shelf nearby. He finally nods, closes the book, and sets it with another book behind him on a table.
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Is here for shopping, She's got her side pack on and is wearing her Green coat, off course it's got that scottish taran inner lining flare along with her back.

But right now she's got a basket she hasn't spotted the other guy because she's in the various items used for spell craft. She's refilling her supplies after all.

of course right now Salem is helping too by jumping up and demanding petting from the girl behind the counter!
Harry Dresden has posed:
Glancing up at the sound of a new arrival, Harry looks at Sabrina a moment, notes the cat moving across the counter towards the worker, and then goes back to his book hunting. He pulls down one, puts it back, and takes a different to thumb through thoughtfully.

His eyes draw over the first two pages and then he sighs, shaking his head. Placing it back on the shelf, he turns to get the two he opted for and moves towards the display of stones and charms.
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Is moving about and stopping to open and take out various items putting them into rather old jars.. some diffrent stone and some glass, each item having its own jar.. of course, harry would know it's to keep the potency of the items for longer.

Without even looking, " Salem, don't get in the poor girl's way you hear " . You swear you see the cat roll his eyes and grump, but he also paws the girl to get back to petting!
Harry Dresden has posed:
Turning around, Harry nearly walks into her. He pauses and moves to the side so as not to step on her,"Excuse me." he mutters softly and goes back to his search. When she talks to the cat, he does glance that direction. He is a detective, noticing details is his thing, so he does note the cat roll his eyes. He raises an eyebrow at the behavior, but doesn't comment on it yet. It's a magic shop and weird things are fairly common.
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman She was talking when he got close but of course, the moment he did she sneezed.. then again and again she blinks back some tears from over sneezing " ok " she says again and sneezes " Seesh turn it down, will you " She glared at him .
Harry Dresden has posed:
He glances towards the sneezing woman, eyebrow quirked, and he steps back from her. He gets enough dirty looks. He meets her gaze, but only briefly. No desire to hold that. He pauses, as if listening to some unheard voice, and then moves back to the display of potential holy relics of various pagan faiths.
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Blinks she also looks away almost the same time as him as if not willing to hold his gaze for more than a few moments.. But she looks around. Salem is distracting the sales girl.. And this guy, it's clear he's not normal so she brings a finger up as it sparkles and snaps, causing a bubble for a brief moment around harry.

as she rubs her nose" There, at least you'll stop leaking magic all over the place, " She sniffs.
Harry Dresden has posed:
"What the..." is all he says and for a brief moment he reaches towards his own power, but holds back. He studies the bubble curiously. He frowns thoughtfully and mutters,"Interesting trick. Be careful who you point it at." It isn't a threat so much as a suggestion.

He dusts his coat off absently and picks up the books again, looking towards the check out. Something on the coat sizzles with energy to dispell anything potentially harmful,"You have power clearly. Just be careful with it. Some people think they run the magic world and will try to step on you." He sounds a little grumpy, but not angry.
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Sniffs a bit " Thank you " The barrier has no ill means it seems, other than it seems to block his magic leaking .. So unless somebody actively senses magic, he doesn't show up .. She cocks her head " I know, but with the amount of power, you were leaking.. I had to " She rubs her nose

" I had to block it cause your are leaking power so bad it's like you got a giant sign " she makes motions with her hands " My nose is sensitive " .
Harry Dresden has posed:
He considers the young woman, looking in her general area. No eye contact again. He raises a brow thoughtfully and admits,"I can't say that I have ever been told my magic leaks. Curious." One thing about him, he is always learning. Some might take great offense to such comments. Instead he sees it as something to look into later.

Placing the books on the counter, he eyes the cat warily and tells her,"Your friend is, unique." He doesn't try to pet the strange cat, though Salem could smell a cat and a dog on Harry. He nods to the shop keeper,"I need the order I put in for last week." She nods and goes to the back.
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
The moment the girl is in the back room, Salem chimes in, " You ain't so cute yourself, hot stuff ".

" Salem! " Sabrina pops out, and glares

" What!, he didn't even pet me! "

She points, and he sighs " Fiiiine " he gives a nod " Sup ".

Sabrina face palms.
Harry Dresden has posed:
There is a hint of a smirk when the cat shoots off his mouth. Harry shakes his head,"Salem then." He studies the cat, again not keeping a gaze meet with him either,"The level of interest in my stop at the Magic Box."

He looks towards Sabrina and tells her,"Don't be too hard on him. I noticed him eyeballing the worker earlier. It wasn't much of a leap to figure he was a familiar of some sort." There is a hint of amusement in his eyes when he sees her reaction to the cat's behavior. He comments towards Salem,"Your job is to help her get her first grey hairs then?"
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
The cat does that what the face and puts his paw to his chest. "How did you know!!!! " Looking shocked and very un cat like

Sabrina of course, bops her head on the shelf with a groan "Salem." She sighs "He's kinda my familiar, kinda not "

he sniffs " I'm one of her teachers, could teach you too."

Sabina runs over and grabs the cat looking embarrassed " Ignore him.. he got turned into a cat for being a bad warlock " .
Harry Dresden has posed:
In spite of himself, Harry snorts when the cat asks how he knew,"I'm a detective. It comes with the job." he replies to the cat. His attention moves between each of you as the talking moves back and forth. The offer to teach him gets a raised brow, but he doesn't accept or decline,"I will keep that in mind." he tells Salem.

Sabrina wrangling the cat and apologizing gets a shake of his head,"Forget it. I have a questionable would be teacher as well. At least he can't move around freely like Salem." he assures her,"He wasn't a good wizard either, so he ended up in a similar situation."
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Gives a look of she understands and nods a little before she sighs and stuffs Salem into her bag like it's bigger than it should be .. before she slaps the top shut and adjusts her hair band " Sorry again," . She adjusts her hair band again " We went to a hard place, and he didn't take it very well we only recently escaped " .
Harry Dresden has posed:
"Don't worry about it. He reminds me of someone I knows." he assures her and turns to the cashier as she returns and gets money to pay for the books and whatever isin the medium sized box she brings to him.

Once he gets the books bagged up and gets the order settled he offers her a business card,"There are a lot of hard places on this plane and the next. Come by some time and maybe we can exhange notes or you can have the misfortune of meeting my Salem." The card has his name, address, and the services he offers: Private Investigator/Wizard. He puts his hand back into his pocket after the card is passed over,"If you lose the card look me up, I'm in the phone book."
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
She grins and nods " Thanks " She beams one of those good girl bright smiles full of real thankfuness before she tucks the card away " I don't have one still in school " she says with a grin to the older fellow . Though he might notice when a girl walked past her cell phone didn't explode right away!

Sabrina thinks " Oh if your heading out that spell I cast will pop off the moment you leave the room " she says "it's only a minor temp spell after all "
Harry Dresden has posed:
He notices the phone survive his presence and raises a brow thoughtfully. His attention moves back to Sabrina and nods to her,"You're welcome." He considers what she says about the spell and looks towards the door,"It's an interesting charm you have there. Next time I have to ride in a new car I might have to look you up."

With that, he nods once more and then walks towards the door. When he opens the door and steps out, the magic fizzles off of him and he lets the door close behind him.
